Chapter 1094

Zhang Taixuan: "Of course it's valuable—these fragments are worth five billion!"

Hu Yifei "600": "Five billion? Great Sage is being generous."

Su Xiao: "Huh? So precious, then why hasn't anyone picked them up?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Who dares? Even by conspiracy theory, Sun Wukong will one day become the Battle Victory Buddha—would anyone at Lingshan dare claim this? The Heavenly Court is the same."

Zhang Taixuan: "Reason."

Su Xiao: "That does make sense."

Ye Hei: "Great Sage really is generous. In fact, his gift is perfectly normal—he's been shielded from celestial calculations by the Dao Lord, sparing him from being tracked by Great Luo experts. Isn't that worth five billion?"

Ye Hei: "Aren't the methods worth five billion?"

Su Xiao: "Of course it is. By the way, Great Sage, what realm have you cultivated to?"

The Monkey King: "Just the Divine Power realm."

Hu Yifei: "Just? How long have you even been cultivating?"

The Monkey King: "About three days. As soon as I started, my cultivation base shot up—terrifyingly fast. I even worried I'd qi deviation."

Sun Wukong: "I report someone cheating. Three days to Divine Power realm? Is this even human?"

The Monkey King: "I'm not human! 【smirking】"

Sun Wukong: "Damn, you can even send emoji packs now?"

The Monkey King: "Is that hard? Don't forget—I'm the Great Sage Equaling Heaven who reached Taiyi Jin Xian in just a few years."

Sun Wukong: "I'm done. This is the power of the original?"

Su Xiao: "It's terrifying indeed. Back then, I took countless elixirs and spent ages just to reach the Divine Power realm."

Lin Daiyu: "Same."

Zhang Taixuan: "That's the advantage of an extraordinary origin. One year of cultivation outpaces your hundred or even thousand years—and on top of that, he absorbed spiritual energy even as a celestial stone. How could his progress not be rapid?"

Zhang Taixuan: "How could cultivation possibly be slow?"

Su Xiao: "I'm jealous. When I get a top-tier spiritual root, I'll change my origin too and become a genius. By the way, Brother Taixuan—is Great Sage also a Celestial Pillar Divine Stone?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Indeed."

Su Xiao: "Isn't he a Chaos Demon Ape origin?"

Ye Hei: "Speechless—that's a secondhand creation from the Honghuang stream. The original Journey to the West never says Sun Wukong has a Chaos Demon Ape origin."

Sun Wukong: "I've read Journey to the West too—there's no such record."

Zhang Taixuan: "The Celestial Pillar Divine Stone isn't necessarily weaker than your flawed Chaos Demon Ape origin. In Honghuang stream lore, Chaos Demon Apes are indeed powerful—but if it's merely his body reincarnated, it may not surpass the Celestial Pillar Divine Stone of the Great World, the world's core."

Zhang Taixuan: "It may not be stronger than the Celestial Pillar Stone at the heart of the Grand World."

Zhang Taixuan: "After the Chaos Demon Ape perished, his essence weakened drastically."

Su Xiao: "I get it. So Great Sage can reach Great Luo realm without issue, right?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Yes. That's why I had him cultivate to Luo Jinxian before revealing himself. At Great Luo realm, he's already a top expert in the Three Realms—even if he can't win, he can flee into the Chaos, no longer a pawn on the chessboard."

Zhang Taixuan: "No longer need to be a pawn on the chessboard."

Xiao Yan: "That's not right. I remember in Honghuang stream, even the Saints are pawns on the chessboard."

Zhang Taixuan: "If a Saint wants to run, they can run. They just think they're the players—and end up losing face."

Zhang Taixuan: "Ultimately, their entire situation stems merely from their inability to let go."

Hu Yifei: "Normal. As one of the rulers of a world, how could a Saint possibly admit defeat and flee?"

Jin Chan: "So this is what they call face-saving?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Correct."

Jin Chan: "Human nature is so complex—even Saints can't shed their human flaws."

Yang Jian: "Normal. I've read Honghuang stream novels—I realized 'Saint' is just a realm. It can't fulfill humanity's fantasy of sainthood: desireless, uncompetitive, emotionless. Such a Saint exists only in fantasy, not reality."

Yang Jian: "Such a sage exists only in fantasy; it's nearly impossible in reality."

Yang Jian: "Dalu Tian."

Zhang Taixuan, while monitoring the chat group, held the stone gifted by the monkey and meditated upon it.

The Celestial Pillar Divine Stone of the Great World held even deeper mysteries, allowing him to comprehend more...

【You meditated on the immortal stone and understood the secret of how the Celestial Pillar Divine Stone gathers spiritual energy. You integrated this principle into the Divine Skill Nine Breaths Swallowing Qi, elevating it to Great Luo level—now you can fully restore your magic power in nine breaths.】

【You meditated on the immortal stone and understood the mystery of the Celestial Pillar Divine Stone, and the method to refine the Spirit-Ming Stone Monkey physique.】

Spirit-Ming Stone Monkey: Capable of transformation, attuned to celestial timing, aware of terrestrial advantages, able to shift stars and swap constellations.

【According to the Spirit-Ming Stone Monkey refinement method, you innovated and created refinement methods for the Red-Cheeked Horse Monkey, the Communicating Arm Monkey, and the Six-Eared Macaque physiques.】

【You created the Four Chaos Monkeys Refinement Method; your understanding of monkey spiritual beasts has increased.】

【Combining the Four Chaos Monkeys Refinement Method and pushing it to its ultimate limit, you created the Chaos Holy Monkey Refinement Method.】

Chaos Holy Ape: A supreme monkey spirit forged by integrating the strengths of the Four Chaos Monkeys, with an origin comparable to top-tier primordial divine demons, capable of easily reaching Hunyuan Great Luo Jinxian.

This origin refinement method is extremely powerful.

But for Zhang Taixuan, it held little use.

After all, he had already refined a top-tier origin—he had no need to refine a monkey origin.

He felt reluctant, his gaze sharpening as he stared again at the Celestial Pillar Divine Stone and resumed meditation.

【You meditated on the Celestial Pillar Divine Stone, analyzed its nature, and created a method to devour the Chaos Holy Ape origin.】

Zhang Taixuan activated the Dao's primordial source, fusing all fragments into one, then incorporated the three other monkey physiques he had created into it.

In moments, all fragments merged into a single, 0.4-inch-wide, snow-white pearl, the surface etched with a sacred yet wrathful monkey.

As soon as the pearl formed, a terrifying life force surged forth, sweeping across heaven and earth.

As soon as the bead formed, it immediately emitted a terrifying surge of life energy, sweeping across heaven and earth.

This was precisely the primordial embryo of the Chaotic Holy Ape physique he had evolved.

The ability to evolve the Holy Ape primordial embryo from shards of stone belonging to Sun Wukong's original form was not merely due to the strength of those shards.

No matter how strong, the shards' essence was still far removed from that of the Chaotic Holy Ape.

The most crucial factor was Zhang Taixuan's cultivated Primordial Source of the Heavenly Dao.

To further elevate his foundational roots, he expended half of his Primordial Source of the Heavenly Dao upon the Holy Ape primordial embryo to condense it.

Yet, it was all worth it.

As long as he could devour this primordial embryo, his foundational roots would become even more terrifying, sufficient to rival the top Chaotic Divine Demons of Chaos.
