I am Jiang Ming, the Eternal Demon Emperor

Chapter 906 The Six-Eared Macaque, Substituting One Thing for Another
Now that they have successfully entered the Crescent Moon and Three Stars Cave, it can be said that Jiang Ming's last bit of resentment and things he couldn't understand before are now clear.

He was born divine, possessing not only the innate five virtues of Dao, but also the nine-aperture intelligent stone monkey. One could say he was innately exceptionally intelligent, learning everything instantly.

This man, who was almost killed, was plotted against by the Western Sect, which had taken a liking to him and was constantly scheming against him.

The Jade Emperor, high above, could see that he was a promising talent, but so what? Heavenly Court was full of capable immortals, and it didn't need another monkey.

If it were the Jade Emperor before the Investiture of the Gods, he would still be willing to treat scholars with respect and patiently nurture a naturally divine being like Sun Wukong.

However, the Jade Emperor of this era is like a puppet of Heaven, acting solely according to the Heavenly Laws. He has no interest in your other troublesome matters.

Jiang Ming quickly understood everything. Since that was the case, once he completed his cultivation in this world, he would have achieved perfect merit and could step into the Pangu Realm.

"Who is getting off at the next station? What are you doing here?"

The Bodhi Patriarch's voice was calm, without joy or sorrow.

Generally, the rule of the Xieyue Sanxing Cave is that if someone with a predestined affinity comes here, he will accept them as a disciple.

“Master, I have no name. I have come to learn the Way.”

Jiang Ming immediately made the monkey instinctively perform a familiar apprenticeship ceremony.

Regardless of the circumstances, the Bodhi Patriarch of this world and he have a great karmic connection.

Not only Bodhi Patriarch, but Jiang Ming had sensed it long ago. The Goddess Nuwa of this world also had a great karmic connection with him. Back then, Nuwa collected the most primordial five-colored chaotic stones from the chaos to mend the sky.

The extra piece fell into the territory of Aolai Kingdom and Huaguo Mountain. Because the five-colored stone was born with great merit, it was given spirituality and transformed into a stone body with nine orifices and eight holes.

It can be said that the connection is very deep.

Ultimately, Jiang Ming followed the plot and arrived at the point where Bodhi Patriarch asked him to learn the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang and the Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earthly Fiends. Jiang Ming naturally tentatively chose to have both.

He also wanted to see what Bodhi Patriarch's attitude was. After a slight pause, Bodhi Patriarch actually agreed directly.

It seems he is genuinely willing to teach, as long as Jiang Ming is willing to learn.

And so, Jiang Ming cultivated in the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave, collecting various rare and precious materials from the surrounding area, and sometimes he would treat the woodcutter to fruit. Time passed quickly.

Jiang Ming naturally had other ideas. Originally, he was expelled from the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave and the Spirit Platform Square Inch Mountain for showing off his Seventy-Two Transformations.

Now, Jiang Ming definitely won't come again.

He just wanted to see if Subhuti would drive him away if he didn't make a mistake.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this process, Jiang Ming discovered something very interesting. He saw the Six-Eared Macaque transform into a human.

It turns out that this kid had followed Sun Wukong into the Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars and successfully learned the skills.

Of course, it's also possible that Bodhi Patriarch deliberately allowed him to successfully steal the master's teachings.

After all, arriving at the Crescent Moon and Three Stars Cave meant having a connection with Patriarch Bodhi. He would certainly impart the methods of cultivation to us.

However, the fact that the Six-Eared Macaque stole his skills also means that he will not be publicly accepted as a disciple.

Ten years have passed.

Jiang Ming is very low-key, and even chose to go into seclusion, just refusing to leave.

After Jiang Ming went into seclusion for five years, the Six-Eared Macaque finally couldn't resist causing trouble.

He felt he had achieved considerable success in his cultivation, now being a Taiyi Golden Immortal. After all, he already possessed the cultivation of a Golden Immortal when he followed Sun Wukong into the Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars. As the Six-Eared Macaque, he possessed great supernatural powers and, with his talent, could steal many things. He had the opportunity to steal a move or two from many precious secret techniques in the Three Realms.

Of course, his biggest gain was what he had learned from the Crescent Moon and Three Stars Cave. Because he was stealing the knowledge so furtively, Patriarch Bodhi didn't reveal their relationship and accepted him as a disciple.

On this day, he transformed into Jiang Ming's appearance and showed off in front of his fellow disciples, only to be driven away by Patriarch Bodhi.

The Six-Eared Macaque was naturally unwilling to leave, but with a flick of Bodhi Patriarch's whisk, the world spun around, and he even left the territory of Xiniu Hezhou directly.

The Six-Eared Macaque left the Crescent Moon and Three Stars Cave with great regret, but he had learned everything he needed to. He simply transformed into Jiang Ming's appearance and went to the Water Curtain Cave of Flower Fruit Mountain.

He had heard Jiang Ming mention this place long ago. At this moment, just like in the original story where he wanted to replace the pilgrim, he now wanted to replace the Monkey King and find a place of practice for himself.

As for Jiang Ming, who knows when he will return from his cultivation at the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave? Let him have his fun for now and be the Monkey King for a while.

What the Six-Eared Macaque didn't know was that when he returned to Flower Fruit Mountain after achieving success in his cultivation, he was already being watched by a passing Bodhisattva.

This person was none other than Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Guanyin Bodhisattva needed a surge of merit and good fortune to reach the quasi-saint realm and break through the evil corpse. The Buddha arranged for her to seek out a destined person to prepare for the future pilgrimage to the West.

The moment Guanyin Bodhisattva saw the Six-Eared Macaque, some immature thoughts already formed in her mind. She thought that if she could assemble a team of Taiyi Golden Immortal level experts, they could barely complete the arduous task of obtaining the scriptures.

However, we still need to observe further to see if this monkey has any affinity with the Buddha.

What the Six-Eared Macaque didn't know was that from the moment he had the idea of ​​imitating Jiang Ming, he had entered a calamity.

Jiang Ming went into seclusion to cultivate, deliberately for a hundred years.

As a result, the hundred years passed peacefully, and he successfully raised his cultivation to the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. He appeared to be exceptionally talented, yet utterly genuine.

Let's go through customs and observe the situation first.

After Jiang Ming emerged from seclusion, Patriarch Bodhi granted him permission to go out and gain experience.

Jiang Ming also wanted to go out to complete his breakthrough to become a Quasi-Saint and sever another of his corpses. He also wanted to check on the current situation outside.

In reality, outside, the Six-Eared Macaque has embarked on the path of tribulation that should have originally belonged to Jiang Ming. Originally, he had been living a carefree and happy life on earth for decades.

Then, he became sworn brothers with the six great saints.

As a result, the various titles bestowed upon these monsters offended the majesty of the Heavenly Court and attracted the attention of heavenly soldiers and generals.

In a great battle, the so-called Seven Sages of the Demon Clan were all scattered and fled.

The Six-Eared Macaque was captured and taken to the Heavenly Court. After being punished, the Jade Emperor discovered that he possessed great supernatural powers and began to admire his talent.

As a result, the righteous Six-Eared Macaque is now guarding the Peach Garden, tempering his character.

Of course, this is tantamount to tempting the monkey to do something wrong.

When Jiang Ming heard about all that had happened to the Six-Eared Macaque, he was dumbfounded. It was good that the Six-Eared Macaque had appeared ahead of time. And, the very thing it did was to shield him from disaster.

One can imagine what has happened in the world today.

Interesting, interesting.

Originally, Jiang Ming planned to suppress Buddha under the Five Finger Mountain, but now he realizes that's not feasible. There are too many variables.

Since that's the case, let the Six-Eared Macaque go to the Western Paradise to retrieve the scriptures.

Since this monkey was so fond of the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, he even risked his life for it on the way.

Since that's the case, Jiang Ming is willing to refrain from showing himself and grant his request.
