Chapter 36: The Shattering of the Prehistoric World

Five hundred years later.

"Ah, what has happened to me? Why have I been staying in the dirt?" Kong Xuan looked at his current situation and said helplessly. He slowly recalled. "That's right, it seems the Dao Ancestor struck me like this. It appears the authority of the Dao Ancestor truly cannot be defied, at least not for the moment."

Kong Xuan emerged from the dirt and was stunned when he saw the surrounding environment. How could this not be the Prehistoric World? Why did it not look like the Prehistoric World at all?

Kong Xuan saw a minor demon at the Golden Immortal level ahead, immediately grabbed him, and forced him to reveal whether this was the Prehistoric World and where exactly this place was.

After a while, Kong Xuan understood. It turned out that after the battle of the Investiture of the Gods concluded, the Primordial Heavenly Lord and the Tongtian Sect Leader saw that some had betrayed them and naturally would not let it go. Once the Investiture of the Gods ended, the two Saints slaughtered their way toward Buddhism, demanding that the two leaders of Buddhism hand over the traitors. Jieyin and Zhunti of Buddhism naturally would not agree.

Thus, the four Saints began a great battle. The scene was truly earth-shattering. In the end, the four Saints unleashed a powerful ultimate move, shattering the entire Prehistoric World and dividing it into the current four continents. The Dao Ancestor appeared, stopped the conflict, punished the four Saints as well as Laojun and Nuwa, and ordered them to conduct their affairs outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, forbidding them from returning for three thousand years.

Kong Xuan organized his thoughts. Now there were no Saints, which meant it was the era of the Quasi-Sages. His own injuries were severe and would not recover for five hundred years. He calculated that there were only six hundred years left until the Journey to the West. It was time to arrange the pawn that was Sun Wukong. After saying this, he flew toward Dongsheng Shenzhou and toward Huaguoshan.

Arriving beside a large rock on Huaguoshan, he calculated that Sun Wukong would be born in three years. He sat cross-legged and began to cultivate while waiting for Sun Wukong to be born.

Three years later, the large rock suddenly shook with a burst of golden light, emitting a dazzling radiance. A monkey jumped out from within. Kong Xuan looked at Sun Wukong with a smile.

"Hmm? Who are you? Why are you here? Why are you smiling at me?" the stone monkey asked in confusion.

"I am the Peacock Immortal, and I intend to take you as my disciple to teach you the art of immortality. Are you willing to learn?" Kong Xuan said with a smile.

"Really? You aren't tricking me? It's the art of immortality?" the stone monkey said excitedly.

"Of course. Are you willing or not?" Kong Xuan said.

"Yes, Master is here; please accept a bow from your disciple." Sun Wukong hurriedly knelt down.

"Since you have taken me as your master, I shall give you the name Sun Wukong. Are you satisfied?" Kong Xuan asked with a smile.

"This disciple is satisfied! I wonder what art of immortality Master will teach me?" Sun Wukong asked hurriedly.

"Here is the Blazing Profound Art. Once mastered, you will possess seventy-two transformations, and it is suitable for close-quarters combat. Take it and cultivate." Kong Xuan handed the Blazing Profound Art to Sun Wukong.

"Thank you, Master. I wonder where your cave dwelling is?" Sun Wukong asked with a smile.

"I cannot take you to my cave dwelling for the time being. You should just stay on Huaguoshan for now. Furthermore, you must not tell anyone that I am your Grandmaster. Do you understand?" Kong Xuan said sternly.

"Yes, this disciple will not reveal that I am your disciple, even if I die," Sun Wukong said firmly.

"Good, I shall take my leave now." Kong Xuan flew out of Dongsheng Shenzhou and found a place to begin closed-door cultivation. He did not want to expose that he had returned just yet; waiting for a critical moment to deal a heavy blow to his enemies would surely have an unexpected effect.

Ever since Kong Xuan left, Sun Wukong began to cultivate diligently and became the Handsome Monkey King of Huaguoshan.

With his talent and effort, he actually cultivated to the Four-Turn Realm in a mere one hundred years, slowly transcending life and death.

One day, while Wukong was sleeping, two people—one dressed entirely in black and one entirely in white—suddenly came to harvest his soul. He was immediately enraged. "I have already cultivated the Mysterious Technique to the fourth level; how can there still be life and death?" He immediately killed his way into Diyu.
