Chapter 1430

I never thought I'd also gain a power similar to the Eyes of Fire and Golden Pupils. It seems this ability was crucial on the Journey to the West, so it was granted to me as well.

Six Ears speculated about the script, and when the time came, he shot out the elixir and struck forth.

He wielded his powers all the way, fighting straight to the gates of the Lingxiao Palace.

Then he was crushed beneath Mount Wuzhi by the Buddha who came to rescue the Emperor.

In the Heavenly Court.

The An Tian Banquet was held as scheduled.

Compared to the original tale, one extra person was present here: the newly appointed True Lord of Extended Life and Preserved Survival.

Yet beneath Mount Wuzhi, it was Six Ears who was crushed.

At the banquet, the immortals praised him, and even Jin Chan, seated before the Buddha, approached to converse with him.

The Heavenly Court was filled with harmony.

Yet beneath Mount Wuzhi, though imprisoned, Six Ears was deeply delighted.

At this very moment, he had seized Sun Wukong's role.

As long as he continued, the pilgrim would be none other than him, and the one to attain Buddhahood would be none other than him.

"Right now, many must be mocking me, but 173 doesn't know I am the true victor."

Six Ears looked up at the sky, listening to the clamor of the Heavenly Court, then lowered his head, afraid his smile might betray him.

Huaguo Mountain.

The doppelganger monkey had returned with the little monkeys.

With no clash between Six Ears and the Heavenly Court, this place had regained peace.

Yet the charred earth and severed limbs remained, testifying to the brutality of the past great battle.

The demons and monsters gathered by Six Ears, as planned, became cannon fodder, with ninety-nine percent perishing in the aftereffects of the two sides' battle.

The doppelganger waved his hand lightly, and all traces of war vanished; Huaguo Mountain restored its former auspicious aura.

The monkey troop cheered and surged toward the groves to pick fruits.

Soon, Huaguo Mountain held its own banquet.

The table held only Huaguo Mountain's native fruits—though inferior to the Heavenly Court's immortal feast, the monkeys' hearts were the most sincere.

They gazed at their Great King with worshipful eyes.

In their hearts, no matter how mighty Six Ears was, their Great King was only the one before them.

"Great King, this fruit of mine is delicious!"

"Eat mine, eat mine—I plucked it from the treetop, this one's the best!"

The monkeys flattered and clamored again.

The doppelganger monkey felt inner peace; he greatly cherished this simple life.
