Chapter 1442: Chapter 892: Arrangements and Changes_2

However, Stone Monkey knew the nature of the Six-eared Macaque, it surely wasn’t one to criticize indirectly.

Not to mention this matter: apart from himself and the Adult…as well as heaven and earth, there should not be a fifth party who knows.

“Master, why has your complexion suddenly become so unsightly?” the Six-eared Macaque asked in confusion. Shouldn’t their kind have red buttocks instead?

Thinking thus, the Six-eared Macaque’s gaze shifted slightly, sneakily looking towards Stone Monkey’s behind…even redder!

Monkey King came back to his senses: “Why the heck are you bringing that up?”

Having already sensed Stone Monkey’s movement, the Six-eared Macaque had preemptively retracted its head. Hearing the question, it continued to speak where it had left off: “The Underworld created by the Adult is the Land of Reincarnation for the deceased. The Adult has forged new rules with an unprecedented and astonishing force. It’s no exaggeration to say that the Adult aims to transcend karma and destiny. On that mortal, I sensed a similar power, albeit far inferior to the Cycle of Reincarnation created by the Adult. But even a trace of it is remarkable.”

The Six-eared Macaque spoke candidly and earnestly.

Stone Monkey was greatly shocked upon hearing this, his nostrils flaring. He looked again at Shen Zhinan, and the golden light in his Eyes of Golden Flame shone even more brilliantly.

Yet, he still couldn’t discern what secrets the mortal harbored.

He looked like a human, his true form also human, not disguising as a Demon Beast. Seemingly weak, he indeed appeared to have the strength of a chicken.

Stone Monkey glanced at the Six-eared Macaque’s ears, pondering internally. Perhaps one could not sense the anomaly through sight, but needed to listen with ears.

But the ability of the Six-eared Macaque was not something Stone Monkey excelled at, nor was it a Divine Treasure Skill. It was an innate strength, like his own impervious body, against which even those who reached Completion with their Sacred Body couldn’t withstand a few of his heavy punches.

“No wonder Brother Tu is needed to lead the way,” mused Stone Monkey, upon realization.

Undoubtedly, the Adult must know what’s extraordinary about this mortal, otherwise they wouldn’t have specifically assigned Brother Tu to guide him.

Soon enough, Stone Monkey withdrew his gaze,

No matter how mystical the mortal, it had little to do with himself. What he needed to focus on was diligent cultivation, striving to reach the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm as soon as possible.

The Adult has declared that reaching Emperor Realm will be rewarded with a lavish gift. He already had a weapon, but Stone Monkey felt he still lacked a piece…no, a set of Armor.

Recently, moved by his own handsomeness, Stone Monkey had taken the name Beautiful Monkey King. Even the Adult had praised his naming sense, saying that a beautiful monkey deserved a personal set of Armor!

Stone Monkey thought it made sense, so he collected many sets of armor, but found them all too ordinary, none catching his eye. Only at the Adult’s place might he find armor to his satisfaction.

The Six-eared Macaque naturally had no such worries. It had yet to achieve Immortality, and the remaining Realms were too distant for it. With slight movements of its six ears, like switching on a tracker, they firmly locked onto Shen Zhinan. Waves of sound echoed in its mind, followed by the harsh, grating sound of sharp claws scraping against stone and wood.

The sound transformed into vivid images before its eyes–

Millions of ghosts screaming, viscera scattered, a river of blood, skeletons forming bridges, Mortal World turned hell…

“Swoosh…”

The Six-eared Macaque abruptly opened its eyes.

Not wanting to listen any longer, its gaze towards Shen Zhinan was filled with wariness.

It didn’t understand how such an ordinary mortal could have such a bizarre and evil depth. Could it be that this person had an extremely twisted heart?

This was hard to say; sometimes what one hears is unrelated to the person and manifests as a symbolic image. However, its instinct told it to keep a distance from this man.

A thought settled.

The Six-eared Macaque closed its eyes again, concentrating on cultivating the Sun True Scripture. The Adult had said that this scripture was easy to master, not because it was simple, but because it was very suitable for both itself and its master.

The golden light seemed to be attracted by the Six-eared Macaque, circling around it, forming a unique landscape.

On the other side,

Following Tu Wa Zi’s steps, Shen Zhinan and his wife closely followed behind.

Feeling both apprehensive and full of anticipation in their hearts.

Because everything in front of them had already exceeded their imagination, but it was precisely this that made the opportunity Shen Zhinan firmly grasped all the more precious.

Through a lush bamboo forest, a simple and elegant pavilion suddenly came into their view.

The pavilion was three stories high, with each level featuring intricately carved beams and painted rafters, revealing an unspeakable solemnity and elegance.

At this moment, the sunlight filtered through the thin window paper, casting mottled shadows, adding warmth and vibrancy to the serene space.

What’s more astonishing is that in front of the pavilion, there is a large courtyard spanning several thousand square meters.

In the center of the courtyard, an imposing rockery stands tall, with spring water pinging and trickling down like silk, flowing around the rockery into a clear pond.

After leading Shen Zhinan and his wife to their residence, Tu Wa Zi stopped, turned to them, and said, “During this time, the Adult is in secluded cultivation. You can get familiar with the village environment here. Once the Adult ends the seclusion, I will bring you to meet the Adult, who will decide on your subsequent arrangements.”

After speaking, Tu Wa Zi intended to turn around and leave. Although Shen Zhinan had many questions, he still suppressed his curiosity, but hurriedly asked, “Could you tell us when this Adult will end his seclusion?”

To know, this is a being of unprecedented strength, with who knows how much life span. How could the time they spend in seclusion be something he can imagine?

He himself doesn’t mind it, but he’s worried about what if their lifespan is nearing its end and the Adult has not yet finished the seclusion?

Tu Wa Zi shook his head, “I’m not too clear on this, but the Adult is different from others, and shouldn’t be in seclusion for too long. Rest assured, as soon as the Adult emerges, I will notify you both immediately.”

With those words, Tu Wa Zi left.

Watching the departing figure of Tu Wa Zi, Shen Zhinan and his wife exchanged glances, their hearts filled with mixed feelings.

The woman softly said, “Zhinan, everything we’ve experienced recently is like a dream. Yet looking at the scenery before our eyes, it’s so real, it’s hard to believe.”

Shen Zhinan nodded, his eyes flashing with resolute light, “Indeed, although all this has come so suddenly, since we are here, our futures have changed!”

Upon hearing this, the woman’s face showed a gentle smile. She tightly grasped Shen Zhinan’s hand, her eyes full of longing for the future, “Zhinan, with you by my side, I am fearless!”

However, as soon as she finished speaking, her expression turned curious again, she couldn’t help but ask, “Zhinan, is that being really the one you met in your dream?”

“It’s a long story about that, if it weren’t for him, I might have been trapped in the dream forever and never come out…” Shen Zhinan said with a wry smile.

…

When cultivating, time passes particularly quickly, often just a blink of an eye, and a large amount of time will have passed.

Time flies, in the blink of an eye, decades have swiftly passed by.

With unrelenting effort, the Six-eared Macaque’s cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds – the Sun True Scripture is cultivated to Completion, its spiritual power surging within as if there were an inexhaustible source of strength. Its eyes became brighter, flashing with wisdom and power, its six ears also seemed more sensitive, able to perceive even more subtle sounds and vibrations.

One day, sensing the aura emanating from the Six-eared Macaque, the Monkey King nodded in satisfaction. Knowing it was time to impart the Seventy-two Transformations, it spoke slowly, its voice carrying a hint of majesty and expectation, “Six-eared, you now have the foundation to cultivate the Seventy-two Transformations, today I will bestow upon you this profound skill that pierces the heavens and earth.”

Upon hearing this, the Six-eared Macaque was overjoyed, and immediately knelt on the ground, reverently kowtowing three times, “Thank you, Master!”

The Monkey King smiled faintly, waved his hands, and a mysterious Rune emerged above the forehead of the Six-eared Macaque, instantly merging into its body. This was the incantation and profound meaning of the Seventy-two Transformations, containing the ultimate truths of heaven and earth, incomprehensible to ordinary individuals.
