Chapter 563

~7 min read 1,280 words

In the Primordial World, Luo Fu had Saint Tongtian behind him; even if he couldn't defeat Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin, he could still ensure his own safety.

But in the Journey to the West World, Luo Fu was alone.

Two fists cannot fight four hands.

To reverse the cosmic calamity, Luo Fu must face the entire Buddhist sect.

The two saints of Buddhism are famously shameless.

It is not impossible for them to join forces against Luo Fu.

Zhang Sanfeng: "Indeed, two fists cannot fight four hands. This humble Taoist also believes the group master should proceed with caution on this mission."

Ye Hei: "The Journey to the West World is far deeper than previous worlds; the group master should be careful."

Long Juan: "Yes, the group master must be extremely cautious—safety is most important."

······

Luo Fu had also seen the messages in the group.

But he did not reply, nor did he take them to heart.

The current members of the Multiverse Chat Group have limited vision and realm; they know little of his true strength, so it is natural for them to fear the saints and worry he cannot match them.

With his strength, the entire Buddhist sect combined could not even match one of his hands.

There is absolutely no need to worry that he cannot stand against the combined might of Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin.

On the contrary, it is the Buddhist sect that should be worried.

Luo Fu knows better than anyone in the chat group just how deep the waters of the Journey to the West World truly are—he needs no reminder.

Moreover, from the very start of this mission, Luo Fu never intended to rush in blindly.

"Friend, has your visit to me something to do with the cosmic calamity?"

Seeing Luo Fu so familiar with Sun Wukong, Pingxin Niangniang could not help but raise her estimation of Sun Wukong, and her mind was once again filled with doubt.

She had truly never expected that Luo Fu's suppression of the Buddha was connected to Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong is the protagonist of the Journey to the West calamity—Pingxin Niangniang knew this well, but she had never placed much importance on Sun Wukong.

The so-called protagonist of a cosmic calamity is, in plain terms, merely a tool to trigger the calamity.

To say he is unimportant? That is certainly not true.

To say he is important? He is not that important either.

If the protagonist of a cosmic calamity truly mattered, Jiang Ziya, the protagonist of the Investiture of the Gods calamity, would not have held such a low status or met such a miserable end.

For great cultivators above the Peerless Saint realm, what truly matters is the grand tide of the Dao.

This is also why Saint Zhunti paid no attention and did not even mention Sun Wukong after Luo Fu took him away.

As long as the grand tide of the Dao remains unchanged, a mere protagonist of a calamity—even if taken away—is of no consequence; if necessary, another protagonist can be chosen.

Thus, Pingxin Niangniang simply could not understand why Luo Fu and Sun Wukong were so close.

She knew that Luo Fu's strength rivaled that of a saint.

Sun Wukong, however, was merely a Great Jin Xian.

Below the saint realm, all are ants.

Even a Peerless Saint, in the eyes of a saint, is merely a slightly larger ant—how much less a Great Jin Xian?

More importantly, Luo Fu is from another Primordial World.

The shocking concept of parallel worlds—had Luo Fu not explained it, Pingxin Niangniang could never have understood it, nor even known of it.

Not only herself, but Pingxin Niangniang dared to assert that even the entire world, including Ancestor Hongjun, would find it impossible to believe that countless identical Primordial Worlds exist.

Yet Sun Wukong appeared to know Luo Fu intimately.

How could a mere Great Jin Xian be acquainted with Luo Fu from a parallel world? How could she not view Sun Wukong differently?

"It seems Sun Wukong must harbor great secrets!"

A thought flashed through Pingxin Niangniang's mind.

Yet Pingxin Niangniang had no intention of probing into Sun Wukong's secrets.

First, Pingxin Niangniang's nature was pure and kind—otherwise, she would never have unhesitatingly sacrificed herself to become the Six Paths of Reincarnation under the Dao's guidance.

Second, Sun Wukong is Luo Fu's friend; Luo Fu is a great benefactor of the Wu Clan; Luo Fu's friends are the Wu Clan's friends, and the Wu Clan has always treated friends with great kindness.

For this reason, Pingxin Niangniang suppressed her doubts and paid no further attention to Sun Wukong, instead turning the topic to Luo Fu's purpose.

Clearly, Luo Fu's purpose in coming to the Underworld was tied to Sun Wukong.

The only matter concerning Sun Wukong at present is the cosmic calamity.

"Yes, I came to the Underworld for the cosmic calamity. My first goal is to find a teacher for Sun Wukong."

Luo Fu nodded and stated his first goal.

"Find a teacher for Old Monkey? Group master, Old Monkey already has a master—he doesn't need another."

Hearing Luo Fu's words, Sun Wukong grew anxious and quickly interjected.

Sun Wukong held deep respect for his master, Patriarch Bodhi; otherwise, he would not have obeyed Patriarch Bodhi's command never to mention him to outsiders.

Even after learning all the hidden truths of the Journey to the West in the chat group, Sun Wukong's respect for Patriarch Bodhi remained unchanged.

"Not a master—a teacher. Sun Wukong, your origin is one of the Four Cosmic Monkeys; your lineage is no weak one. You have neglected your bloodline's potential far too much—you need someone to teach you how to properly awaken your bloodline's power."

Luo Fu explained calmly.

The cultivation methods and divine arts Patriarch Bodhi taught Sun Wukong were not inferior, but their level was low—they did not even reach the Great Luo layer.

This was one reason why Sun Wukong was ignorant and fearless during his rebellion in Heaven.

Now that Sun Wukong is about to break through to the Great Luo layer, Patriarch Bodhi's legacy is indeed insufficient.

Most importantly, Sun Wukong is one of the Four Cosmic Monkeys, his bloodline descended from the Chaotic Demon Ape.

The Chaotic Demon Ape excels in the Dao of War.

Patriarch Bodhi originated from the Xuan Sect, cultivated the Primordial Spirit rather than the physical body, and thus was not particularly compatible with Sun Wukong's bloodline.

The true fit for Sun Wukong should be the Witch Clan.

The Path of War demands a physical cultivation route—only fearless bloodshed suits it.

Luo Fu's immediate arrival in the Witch Clan from beyond the heavens also took this into account.

At the Great Luo layer, rapidly enhancing one's realm and strength is not easy.

Every great transcendent has achieved their current level through countless Wushuyuan Society years of arduous cultivation.

There are only five hundred years left until the Journey to the West.

Five hundred years is less than a fraction of a single Wushuyuan Society.

To enhance strength in such a short time, the only shortcut is to unlock one's own bloodline.

What Luo Fu did not say was that the current Sun Wukong is more than merely one of the Four Great Apes of Chaos.

Just now, during Sun Wukong's battle with the Buddha, Luo Fu infused a drop of Chaotic Demon Ape blood into Sun Wukong's body.

The Four Great Apes of Chaos were born from Chaotic Demon Ape blood; now, with the addition of a drop of Chaotic Demon Ape blood—this was the blood of a Celestial Dao Chaotic Demon Ape.
