Chapter 1364

Little does it know that it is already in the trap.

At this moment, Sun Wukong is hiding in the shadows, pinching a seal with his hands, splitting a portion of destiny from his own body and dropping it onto the six-eared macaque.

Otherwise, the six-eared macaque's destiny would not be worth mentioning and could only become one of the eighty-one tribulations as in the original work.

Such a method would normally be unable to deceive a Great Luo or a Quasi-Saint.

But now that the heavenly secrets are blurred, there is a possibility of success.

It is precisely this bit of destiny that makes the six-eared macaque feel better and better, as if everything is going according to its wishes.

"It is heaven's will!"

"It seems heaven wants me to defy fate!"

Suppressing the urge to laugh out loud, the six-eared macaque finds the direction of the Eastern Continent and rides the clouds away.

Although it has not taken a famous master over these years, relying on its six-eared supernatural powers, it has heard many cultivation techniques; although it has not become a Celestial Immortal, it has already passed the heavenly tribulation and become a practitioner of the immortal path, so riding the clouds and mists is not difficult.

Flower-Fruit Mountain, the ancestral vein of the ten continents and the origin of the three islands.

This place gathers the creation of heaven and earth and contains the mysteries of heaven and earth; it is a supreme blessed land.

Not long after arriving at the Eastern Continent, the six-eared macaque easily finds the location of Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Because it is truly too special.

It sees spiritual energy like a tide, auspicious energy in waves, the clear cry of a phoenix, and a qilin strolling; it is truly a blessed land for immortals.

Beneath the auspicious energy, however, there are a few strands of black energy hidden, sinister and difficult to fathom.

Seeing this, the six-eared macaque understands.

This must be the baleful energy of demons.

Having read the *Journey to the West*, it naturally knows that Flower-Fruit Mountain is not some blessed land; this place has seventy-two demon kings.

The reason these demons have not disturbed the monkey troop is simply because they fear immortals and gods.

Once the Monkey King goes out to sea, the monkeys' hard days will be over.

With a bit of Sun Wukong's destiny on its body, the six-eared macaque rides the clouds and easily lands in front of the Water Curtain Cave.

During this time, it feels as if it has passed through an invisible barrier.

"This is either a restriction born naturally from Flower-Fruit Mountain to protect Sun Wukong, or a restriction set by an immortal."

"It seems destiny is indeed with me. To be able to enter here so easily, what good fortune."

It originally intended to go out to sea to take a master itself.

However, it is a six-eared macaque, not Sun Wukong; who would take it in?

Therefore, it thinks of a way: to take the monkeys with it to take a master.

When the time comes, seeing them come together, perhaps it can also cultivate boundless supernatural powers.

In fact, supernatural powers are not the key.

With its talent, wanting to cultivate the methods of the original work is not troublesome.

The key is that it can influence the monkey's temperament and emotions during the cultivation period.

Only by becoming close to the monkey can it plot against the other party and perform a good play of replacing the peach with the plum.

Otherwise, it has no ability to intervene in the Journey to the West plan at all.

Sun Wukong is precisely the opportunity.

Just as it lands, a monkey jumps down from a tree and lands in front of it.

"Where are you from, monkey, and why have you come to my Flower-Fruit Mountain? Could it be that you have heard of our Great King's fame and come to pay your respects?"

"Exactly so." The six-eared macaque, worried about not finding a reason, looks full of admiration upon hearing this. "I have long heard of the great name of the Handsome Monkey King of Flower-Fruit Mountain, and today I have come specifically to pay my respects; I hope you will introduce me."

"Introduce you? You monkeys sure know how to talk. Follow me!"

The monkey is not shy and leads the six-eared macaque straight toward the back mountain.

Not long after walking, the six-eared macaque sees a monkey radiating golden light, lying lazily on a giant rock, gnawing on a peach while looking over.

"This monkey is very unfamiliar; he doesn't look like someone from our Flower-Fruit Mountain. Where did he come from?" the substitute monkey asks.

The six-eared macaque quickly repeats what it said before.

The substitute monkey is surprised: "Has my reputation spread so far? Sigh, trouble; when fame is great, trouble is also great."

The six-eared macaque is surprised in its heart.

Something is wrong.

Shouldn't Sun Wukong be very eager for success in the early stages?

Why does this monkey not only look lazy, but even its temperament is extremely sluggish?

This does not match the original work.

The six-eared macaque is shocked.

"Little monkey, go down; I have something to say to him."

The substitute monkey waves its hand, and the little monkey retreats respectfully.

"Are you a bit confused?" Sun Wukong asks.

The six-eared macaque is startled: "What do you mean?"

"You shouldn't have come here at this time!" The substitute monkey looks at the sky, its expression subtle. "Could it be that you have also glimpsed the heavenly secrets?"

Cold sweat breaks out on the six-eared macaque's back.

Could it be that this Sun Wukong has also read the *Journey to the West*?

"One day, I experienced a very bizarre thing in a dream. In the dream, I cultivated the immortal path... and eventually, I became the Victorious Fighting Buddha!"

"Such a life is definitely not what I want. I have decided: I will spend my three hundred plus years of life here on Flower-Fruit Mountain, free and unfettered; that will not be a waste of this life."

Hearing this, the six-eared macaque is anxious.

If Sun Wukong doesn't go out to sea, how can it take a master with him, how can it build a deep relationship with Sun Wukong, and then plot against him?

"Great King, your cultivation of the immortal path does not conflict with being carefree. Why don't we go out to sea together? When the time comes, you can still return to the mountain to be the Great Sage Equal to Heaven with vast supernatural powers, and I will enter the tribulation in your place and become that Victorious Fighting Buddha."

The six-eared macaque is different from Sun Wukong.

It has no extraordinary destiny, no great power is willing to cultivate it, and no one is willing to let it become the protagonist.

It dreams of such a fruit status as the Victorious Fighting Buddha.

"You in my place?"

"If something goes wrong, that could mean losing one's life."

The substitute monkey looks surprised. "That won't do, that won't do; how could I harm your life?"

"I am willing to enter the game; why should the Great King worry?" The six-eared macaque advises repeatedly. "I beg the Great King to go out to sea. When the time comes, the Great King will be the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, protecting the monkey race, and I will become the Holy Buddha of Lingshan; wouldn't that be the best of both worlds? Outside the restrictions of this Flower-Fruit Mountain, there are many demons; does the Great King have the heart to see the restrictions disappear and the monkeys bullied by demons?"

The substitute monkey ponders.

Sun Wukong, high above in the nine heavens, is almost laughing to death.

Although he has ways to usurp the destiny the six-eared macaque gains in the Journey to the West regardless of whether it is willing or not.

However, that this dead end is being walked into willingly is truly hilarious to him.

"Very well, I will follow your advice." The substitute monkey sighs long. "Don't regret it when the time comes. I don't want to go to the Western Heaven to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name."

"Great King, rest assured, I will never regret it!"

The six-eared macaque looks serious, its heart full of wild joy: "A mere Sun Wukong, tricked into the trap in a few words; it is truly stupid! Watch how I, the Six-Eared Holy Buddha, play you in the palm of my hand. Haha... my path is accomplished!"
