"The Wanling Net in the Southern Continent has been activated."
In the Eastern Continent, a young man walking through the forest suddenly turned his head and looked toward the south for a while.
"The node I created has been triggered."
He couldn't help but whistle, patting the demon beside him: "They did a pretty decent job!"
The Six-Eared Macaque swatted away his hand: "Why aren't you afraid of me."
After joining Huaguo Mountain, the Six-Eared Macaque's identity made many people apprehensive, especially those from the Heavenly Taoist Sect.
But this young man named Ding Huan was odd, showing nothing but enthusiasm upon meeting him.
"You and my horse are birds of a feather; what's there to be afraid of!"
Ding Huan said.
"What do you mean birds of a feather?"
The Six-Eared Macaque didn't understand.
Ding Huan, however, changed the subject: "Did Emperor Donghua get into a fight with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"
"No."
The Six-Eared Macaque immediately answered.
Ding Huan was surprised: "Didn't you say they bumped into each other? Why haven't they fought?"
"It is difficult for Emperor Donghua to defeat Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva; it's best not to fight if possible."
The Six-Eared Macaque answered.
"Does Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva also not want to fight?"
Ding Huan inquired.
The Six-Eared Macaque shook his head: "Emperor Donghua oversees the Immortal Records and has excellent connections; Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will think thrice before acting."
He knew Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva well; unless absolutely necessary, he would definitely not make an enemy out of immortals like Emperor Donghua.
However, as the situation in the Southern Continent develops, it's inevitable that they will eventually come to blows.
"When will eventually be?"
Ding Huan asked: "Can we go and watch?"
"How would I know that, you need to ask Sun Wukong."
The Six-Eared Macaque glanced at Ding Huan: "Why are you so chatty?"
"He has always been like this."
The White Horse beside Ding Huan couldn't resist chiming in: "He talks a lot."
The Six-Eared Macaque gave it a look: "By the way, what's your relationship?"
"Partners."
Ding Huan answered.
The Six-Eared Macaque was visibly shocked.
"I have never eaten human flesh; I originally caught him to eat, but he ended up eating me instead."
The White Horse said.
Now the Six-Eared Macaque understood what Ding Huan meant by 'birds of a feather.'
He stayed silent, but Ding Huan kept talking nonstop for the rest of the way.
"What exactly is the contest between the Heavenly Emperor and Buddha?"
"Divination."
"What?"
"They are predicting the outcomes of the wars in the Mortal World."
The Six-Eared Macaque said indifferently: "It's about who can predict more widely and accurately."
Sun Wukong and Buddha have been preparing for this contest for several years; all of their actions are within their calculations.
"Perhaps they even know what we ate today."
The Six-Eared Macaque stated.
"Are they that powerful?"
"Why else would I be here?"
The Six-Eared Macaque sneered: "Sun Wukong had me figured out years ago."
He felt like he'd been duped.
Without him, Huaguo Mountain's plans in the Eastern Continent wouldn't have been possible, and Sun Wukong had already planned to summon him here years ago.
Ding Huan was amazed: "If they can predict years ahead, doesn't that determine the outcome of the war?"
"Not necessarily."
The Six-Eared Macaque explains: "Their powers are equal, neither can completely foresee the other's moves."
He had heard a lot and knew that neither Sun Wukong nor Buddha had a foolproof assurance.
But they had both clouded the heavenly secrets and kept their trump cards hidden; even the Six-Eared Macaque didn't know what those trump cards were.
"We cannot change the Heavenly Emperor's contest."
The Six-Eared Macaque stated: "Just do our jobs well."
"That's right."
Ding Huan nodded, looking up towards the distant Kunlun Mountain: "I really don't want to be here."
Kunlun Mountain, the birthplace of the immortals, is also their destination on this journey.
Huaguo Mountain must reach the Eastern Divine Continent, and the human nations are not a problem; Kunlun Mountain is the real challenge—Ding Huan and the Six-Eared Macaque were sent by Immortal Master Erlang to investigate the situation.
"We have arrived."
Upon reaching the foot of Kunlun Mountain, the Six-Eared Macaque spoke to someone behind: "Lotus Root Immortal, go see how many Immortals have come here to seclude themselves after the fall of the Jade Emperor."
"Demon, I have my own thoughts, don't order me around."
A voice said, and then flew past Ding Huan.
"Why is he called the Lotus Root Immortal?"
Ding Huan watched the figure stepping on the ring of fire getting further away.
"I know why."
The White Horse immediately said: "That guy wanted to make a name for himself, so he had someone write a book called 'Lotus Root Immortal', and I somewhat forget his real name."
It frowned slightly: "If I am not mistaken, his name seems to be Nizha."
"It's Nezha."
The Six-Eared Macaque said.
Following this, he looked up and saw countless streaks of light flying in the sky, landing on Kunlun Mountain.
"It's bad."
The expression of the Six-Eared Macaque sank: "We must leave immediately!"
"What?"
Ding Huan was startled.
"Those streaks of light are Immortals from the Ten States and Three Islands, they have come here."
The Six-Eared Macaque said: "We can't be discovered by them."
Ding Huan hastily mounted his horse: "What about the Lotus Root Immortal?"
"It's okay, he's different from us, nothing major can happen."
The Six-Eared Macaque said while flying outside the Mountain.
In Lingshan, Qing Yuanzi, who had been in a coma for a few days, slowly opened his eyes.
A pair of beautiful eyes looked at him.
"Are you awake?"
Daji asked delightedly.
"Spare me, Fairy!"
Qing Yuanzi held up a sign with one hand and held his head with the other.
However, he waited for a long time and Daji did not hit him again.
"Fairy…"
Qing Yuanzi released his head: "Why don't you hit me anymore?"
"The Buddha has stopped chanting, why would I hit you?"
Daji asked.
Qing Yuanzi took a long breath.
He looked around and immediately saw two Giants sitting under the vast sky.
"The Great King and the Buddha…"
Qing Yuanzi was dumbfounded: "What are they doing?"
"Playing chess."
Daji replied, and then added: "Perhaps they fell asleep."
She had been watching for a whole day and hadn't seen Sun Wukong and the Buddha move at all; the two had been sitting still for a day.
Qing Yuanzi watched for a while, then suddenly inspired, immediately picked up a manuscript.
"I advise you not to write."
Immortal Zhenyuan grabbed him, saying: "Nothing good comes from writing."
Reluctantly, Qing Yuanzi put down his pen and looked around, noticing that the Immortals from the Ten States and Three Islands had almost all left.
"Why have those Immortals left?"
Qing Yuanzi asked holding up the sign.
"They have gone to the Mortal World to take part in the war."
Immortal Zhenyuan replied.
It's good that those Immortals left; it relieved some pressure here.
However, it was only the Immortals from the Ten States and Three Islands who left; the Great Divine Powers of the Buddhist mostly stayed in Lingshan, closely watching Sun Wukong.
"Lord Lao Zi."
Immortal Zhenyuan asked in a low voice beside Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad: "Have you found that World Venerable?"
"No."
Lord Lao Zi shook his head.
That World Venerable might be the Buddha's greatest trump card, but now no one has seen him, which is intriguing.
The unknown is more terrifying than the known threat.
"What is the Buddha plotting?"
Lord Lao Zi had an ominous premonition in his heart.
