Everyone wants to live a bit more honestly, but the pressure of honesty is really immense. Chu Mo had just truly made thorough preparations. The Heaven's Mirror, Chaos Furnace, and even Heaven Slaying, including his avatar, were all on standby.
If there was the slightest disturbance, he would immediately unleash all his power to dodge a fatal hit. Because this monkey, which had been suppressed for who knows how many years, was still so full of vigor. In this spirit-sealing land, its whimpers and its laughter could easily shake the whole firmament.
This is a truly terrifying powerhouse!
But thankfully, thankfully.
Chu Mo let out a sigh of relief; things turned out just as he had imagined—the monkey wasn't angry. On the contrary, it was very happy.
"Come over here, come over here, hurry up, lad, you really suit my taste. It's too interesting, haha, it's been too many years since I've met a youngster as delightful as you," came the joyful voice of the monkey from beneath the mountain's root.
Chu Mo breathed a sigh of relief and then walked over with determination.
Under the mountain's root, a giant stone that reached the sky was suppressed there from top to bottom. If one didn't get close, it would be impossible to tell that it was a stone because its color was almost identical to that of the mountain itself.
At the very bottom of the stone, the disheveled head of a monkey was there, with two furry arms beating the ground.
The monkey was still laughing.
In one of the monkey's furry hands, it was also clutching a stalk of ordinary grass.
This was the first time Chu Mo had seen the appearance of this Great Saint, and he felt very surprised. Because this... was clearly just an ordinary monkey. Its appearance could not be more common. But what was unforgettable was the monkey's pair of eyes.
Chu Mo had seen the eyes of many powerful beings, but he had never seen such pure eyes before.
Those eyes seemed to possess a bewitching power, so pure that after one glance, one couldn't think of anything else.
The Heaven's Mirror gently stirred Chu Mo, who then instantly returned to his senses, and then, with all seriousness, paid his respects: "I have seen the Great Saint."
"No need for formalities, no need, little guy. Come over here, closer, let me have a good look at you. Hahahaha, it's too funny. Your joke made me laugh successfully. I can't remember the last time when I was this amused," the monkey said as it laughed and pounded the ground.
When it came to the crunch, Chu Mo too became calm; as he approached, he said, "Great Saint, I wasn't telling a joke, everything I said was the truth. With your discerning eyes, Great Saint, you should be able to distinguish that."
The monkey was silent for a moment, then looked up to size up Chu Mo and said with a grin: "You really provoked a bunch of supreme beings? And they really want to kill you?"
"Yes," Chu Mo nodded.
"Hahaha, could it be that you are the one from the prophecy, the one to overturn this Heaven? Hilarious, I never thought that prophecy would actually come true. That bunch of old farts, they've long deserved to die. Hahahahaha, who would have thought, in this world, besides me, there would actually be a second one. I'm not alone, no longer lonely. Haha, and you really suit my taste too. Hmm... just that you're a bit too handsome, not good, not good, the mask? The face behind the mask is even more handsome... utterly vile! If only you were as ugly as me, that would be perfect!" The monkey babbled on and on.
Chu Mo, however, was inwardly shaken; the mask on his face had actually been seen through by the monkey.
"Don't be so surprised, you don't know, I once stole a bunch of golden pills from Supreme Master and was thrown by him into the alchemy furnace to be refined for many years, having long cultivated a pair of fiery golden eyes. There is nothing in this world that I cannot see through," said the monkey casually. Immediately after, it wrinkled its nose, and its eyes suddenly shot out two beams of divine light towards Chu Mo: "Eh, that furnace is actually on you? How strange and curious, how is that possible? Oh, a bit damaged... but that shouldn't be the case, right? Could it be that Supreme Master has also died? No, no, Supreme Master is immortal and indestructible, how could he die?"
Chu Mo stood there stunned; he felt he didn't even need to ask a word, and he could know countless terrifying secrets.
Supreme Master... Supreme Master? Supreme Master!
This guy, he had actually seen the legendary Supreme Master, and even stolen Supreme Master's golden pills? This is... this is too incredible! This monkey, it's the real powerhouse capable of turning over this Heaven!
Finally, the monkey calmed down, it looked at Chu Mo earnestly: "Little guy is interesting. Hmm, hmm, very interesting indeed, don't be afraid of those old immortals, they're just a bunch of rigid and decaying old things, not worth fearing at all, their tricks are just that, so from now on, I've got your back!"
Meanwhile, Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng were still making their arduous way forward, but they had heard the entire conversation between the monkey and Chu Mo. The two of them were so shocked they could barely speak. The information revealed from within the depths of the monkey's words could frighten someone to death.
It had actually seen the Supreme? And stole the Supreme's golden elixir? The key point is, after it did these things, the Supreme didn't slap it to death? Instead, it was eventually taken care of by the Buddha?
In the monkey's mouth, those supreme beings turned into a bunch of stiff and decaying old things? Their methods only that little? Is this true?
Chu Mo looked at the monkey, "I have two friends behind me; does the Great Saint have a way to let them come over directly?"
The monkey blinked its eyes, then casually pointed, and a visible Tunnel appeared in the void: "Jump onto this Tunnel, and I'll bring you over!"
Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng were immediately overjoyed, jumping onto the Tunnel without imagining that once they jumped in, their figures would instantly be transported away by a strange force.
Chu Mo was greatly alarmed: "Great Saint… what is this?"
The monkey first drooped its eyelids, then raised its head and looked at Chu Mo with a mischievous grin: "There are some things not suitable for them to hear. What has been heard just now, well, these things are not really secrets to many. But what comes next won't do."
"But their safety…" Chu Mo really feared that the monkey, if displeased, would throw his two brothers into the leafless forbidden zone. Without him, they would almost certainly not be able to walk out.
"Rest assured, would I be that tasteless? I've already sent them out of this forbidden area," the monkey said.
Just then, Chu Mo really found it hard to believe the monkey's words, but at that moment, his voice transmission stone rang. Chu Mo immediately activated the stone. The voice of Zi Dao came from the other end, bitter with laughter: "Third brother, we've left the leafless forbidden zone. Be careful on your own; we'll wait for you here."
"Truly out of the leafless forbidden zone?" Chu Mo felt somewhat shocked, turning to look at the monkey, thinking, is this the power of the Great Saint? Or just this monkey's ability?
"Really out, you can rest assured. Just be careful with everything on your own," Zi Dao finished speaking on the other end, repeatedly cautioning Chu Mo before turning off the voice transmission stone.
"Little kid, are you relieved now?" the monkey rolled its eyes at Chu Mo.
Chu Mo, with a forehead full of black lines, said: "Relieved, but you really scared me, at least say something first."
"If I had told you, would you be pleased?" the monkey bared its teeth at Chu Mo, then became serious, "Kid, I know those are your two brothers. Back in the day, I also had brothers. Brothers naturally can be trusted. But that doesn't mean everyone can be trusted."
"What do you mean?" Chu Mo frowned slightly.
The monkey said: "Tell me, if they heard all the secrets, and then some supreme beings caught them, extracted their divine sense, read their memories, what would you do? Wouldn't all your secrets be known to others?"
Chu Mo was stunned for a moment, then fell silent. Indeed, the possibility the monkey mentioned was not only real but also significant.
Because such methods, even a practitioner at the Primordial Infant stage would use them. Let alone those supreme beings.
Whether supreme beings or Quasi-Saints, though already powerful enough, they're not considered much compared to the supreme beings. It all depends on if they wish to intervene; if they truly do, then no secrets can remain hidden.
"So, no matter what you do, always keep a wary mind. Otherwise, you won't know when you might get duped, and often enough, those who dupe you don't even know they've duped you. Isn't that even more frustrating?" the monkey said with a look of indifference.
"I understand now, thank you for your advice. How can I lift your seal?" Chu Mo asked.
"No rush, no rush, once my seal is lifted, some people will sense it immediately, and they will find you, which would not be good. I have something to tell you," the monkey looked at Chu Mo, suddenly formed a handseal, and uttered a low chant.
Chu Mo suddenly felt the Heaven and Earth change, as though an additional barrier appeared in an instant. It was a feeling of being completely sealed off. Even the power within his body, at that moment, seemed to be frozen, unable to be mobilized at all.
"Ah, things are not the same as they were before. Whatever you do, you have to be a bit more cautious, always on guard," the monkey muttered, then looked at Chu Mo, "Kid, do you know what was the deal with that ancient prediction?"
Chu Mo shook his head: "I'm not very clear, I've only heard there was a prediction made by some supreme being. He said that in the Yanhuang region, there would emerge a person who, after growing up, would destroy the Great Dao fruit of those supreme beings, ruining their lifetime of Dao cultivation."
"That's both right and wrong," the monkey first nodded, then shook his head, continuing to Chu Mo, "The one who made this prediction was Spiritual Master Lingtong, a supreme being at the pinnacle of the ancestral realm. Actually, this old man was not a bad person. On the contrary, he was an elder with great compassion. When he made this prediction, his original words were like this... he said, the monkey's rampage in Heaven had a cause, but it affected too many innocent beings, therefore it was suppressed by the Buddha. However, whether the Buddha gaining any Immeasurable merit from this act is uncertain since the human heart is hard to fathom. Still, one day in the southeastern Yanhuang region, an even more ruthless person will appear, someone who can overturn this Heaven, who can easily destroy many people's Great Dao fruit and ruin their Dao cultivation. But he does no evil deeds. If you all intervene by force, you will certainly perish; if you do not intervene, you will also wither. The Great Dao is boundless; even I cannot see through it. All I can say is that the cycles of reincarnation turn, and it is time for our generation to depart."
