Chapter 1441: Chapter 892: Arrangements and Changes

Initially unaware of the reason, the Adult simply tapped his forehead thrice like that. At the time, he didn’t understand why, but now he roughly got the idea. The Adult was urging him to cultivate diligently, warning against being half-hearted or inconsistent–fishing for three days and then drying nets for two more!

“Understood.” Upon hearing that the Adult would examine his progress, the Six-Eared Macaque’s expression immediately grew serious, and he adjusted his breathing to solemnly absorb the Power of the Sun,

The Monkey King, on the other hand, stopped and had already entered the Fairy King Realm. Whether it was the power of the sun or the moon, they no longer had any effect on him. He was merely demonstrating for the Six-Eared Macaque just now.

It must be said, the little monkey, which resembled his imagination by seventy or eighty percent, indeed possessed an astonishing aptitude–at least eighty percent of what he himself had in those years.

He only demonstrated it briefly once or twice, yet the other party had already mastered this breathing method, which was quite complex and profound for cultivators of lower realms.

From this, it could also be seen that the little monkey’s physique bore seventy to eighty percent resemblance to his own prime. Otherwise, it would have been utterly impossible to withstand the Power of the Sun’s impact. If it were someone with a frail body, it wouldn’t matter how little–just a thread or a whiff would be enough to cause them to explode and die on the spot.

“Master, when will you teach me the Seventy-two Transformations?”

However, the next moment, the recently subdued Six-Eared Macaque suddenly opened its eyes again and looked towards the Stone Monkey.

“How many times have I told you, I am not your master. I am merely following the Adult’s orders to guide you.”

“Master, although we don’t have the formal relationship of a Master and Disciple, we do have the reality of it. In Six-Eared’s heart, you will always be Six-Ear’s master. A master imparts knowledge, teaches skills, and resolves doubts. Such graciousness, Six-Ear cannot ever forget, even if you do not admit it, but in Six-Ear’s heart, you have already been recognized as Six-Ear’s master!”

The Six-Eared Macaque shook his head earnestly and spoke with a serious face.

The Monkey King glanced at the Six-Eared Macaque and didn’t bother to argue further.

Although he was by nature free-spirited and unrestrained, having a disciple with unparalleled talent was naturally something he wouldn’t dislike. Not to mention the fact that the other was of the same lineage, both being spiritual monkeys of the world, the other might as well inherit his legacy.

The way he’d spoken just now was to deliberately remind the Six-Eared Macaque not to lose sight of one thing by caring for another and to remember the Adult’s kindness.

“The Seventy-two Transformations is a fundamental skill that penetrates the heavens, comprehends yin and yang, knows life and death, and attains life eternal. First, you must practice the Sun True Scripture passed down by the Adult to Completion and step into the Supreme Realm. Then we can talk about other skills. Without a solid foundation to withstand the pressure, learning it would be an enormous waste. Plus, with you being naturally Six-Eared, capable of keenly hearing all the secrets of the universe, you ought to make full use of this and focus your main efforts on these six pairs of ears!”

The Adult once said the ears of the Six-Eared Macaque were adept listeners, knowledgeable of Karma, understanding the past and future, discerning the principles of all things. Should it reach a certain level, it might even peek into fate, or forcefully reverse it, with unimaginable potential.

Instead of learning a wide array of skills, it would be better to focus on mastering one aspect to achieve real success, usefulness, and capability.

Talent, although critically important, only determines where one starts. As for where one ends up, talent’s role is undoubtedly diluted significantly.

Upon hearing this, the Six-Eared Macaque nodded noncommittally.

It deeply knew that what the master said was true.

The Seventy-two Transformations were indeed tempting, but without a solid foundation, they were like castles in the air, intangible and ethereal.

Thus, the Six-Eared made preparations to close its eyes again, to dive even more attentively into cultivating the Sun True Scripture.

However, at that moment, the ears of the Six-Eared twitched slightly, and then its face revealed a startled expression as it turned towards a particular spot down the mountain.

The Monkey King naturally noticed the Six-Eared Macaque’s abnormal behavior and followed its gaze.

At the foot of the mountain, unbeknownst to them, four figures were making their way along the winding path through the woods.

The leader, the Stone Monkey, recognized: Tu Wa Zi and Huang, one a capable and trusted Disciple under the Adult’s command, the other a prodigious Emperor who stepped into the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm at a young age. Following them were a man and a woman, laden with large and small bags as if fleeing disasters, unfamiliar to the Stone Monkey.

They were feeble with scarred vitality, no different from ants–mere mortals.

The Stone Monkey was puzzled, and even the Six-Eared Macaque recognized Tu Wa Zi and Huang. Why were they staring for so long? Could it be that the cultivation of the Sun True Scripture damaged his eyes? As for the two mortals, what was there to watch?

Its eyes shone with Golden Radiance as if they were filled with liquid gold, scrutinizing Shen Zhinan and his wife, yet they saw nothing unusual.

The Eyes of Golden Flame are mainly used to discern demons and ghosts.

“Six-Eared, why do you look so engrossed?”

“Master, I wasn’t looking, but listening,” Six-Eared replied as he raised his head again.

“Listening? To what? Could it be that those two mortals are strange?” The Stone Monkey quickly realized that the Six-Eared Macaque’s six ears might hear things that ordinary people cannot.

“Not exactly strange…” The Six-Eared Macaque scratched its golden-haired head with a puzzled expression, “Master, have you ever been to the Netherworld created by the Adult?”

Upon hearing this.

The Stone Monkey’s face suddenly turned bright red.

This Six-Eared surely must be doing this on purpose, always bringing up exactly what shouldn’t be mentioned.

If you ask who in the village is familiar with that Netherworld, it would proudly claim that it knows better than anyone else.

Back then, it almost met its end there, and had it not been for the Adult’s intervention, it would probably have been skinned alive by now.
