Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 421

Before the peddler could finish his words, Sun Wukong interrupted him.

"Young man, don't underestimate yourself."

Sun Wukong slowly took out a peach from his sleeve and handed it to the vendor.

"Eat it, and then go take part in the 'Three Realms Test'."

The peddler was stunned, his eyes fell on the crystal clear peach, and a hint of surprise and confusion flashed in his eyes.

He subconsciously reached out to take the peaches. When his fingertips touched the skin of the peaches, a warm spiritual power instantly surged into his body, causing his whole body to tremble.

"This...what is this?"

The vendor couldn't help but ask, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

Sun Wukong smiled slightly, but did not answer directly. He just said calmly:
"Eat it and you will understand."

The vendor hesitated for a moment, but finally took a bite.

The fruit flesh melted in his mouth, transforming into a pure energy that instantly filled his limbs and bones.

He only felt that the meridians in his body were washed by a gentle force, and his originally tired body became extremely light, as if infinite power was surging in his body.

"This……"

The peddler opened his eyes wide, feeling the changes in his body, and was so surprised that he was speechless.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Sun Wukong, wanting to ask something, but found that the old man in front of him had turned and left, leaving only a few words echoing in the air:

"Go and take part in the 'Three Realms Trial'. Don't miss this opportunity."

The vendor stood there, looking at the peaches in his hand, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He clenched his fists, feeling unprecedented strength in his body, and a light of hope gradually lit up in his eyes.

He whispered to himself:
"It seems that I really should give this 'Three Realms Test' a try."

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong has left the town and continued his journey.

Soon, he came to the foot of a high mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, a woodcutter was swinging an axe, chopping down a thick tree with difficulty.

The woodcutter was a big man with muscular arms, obviously very strong. But after chopping for a long time, only a few shallow axe marks were left on the tree, which showed that his technique was not very good.

Sun Wukong stood not far away, observing quietly for a moment, then walked forward slowly and asked in a calm tone:
"Brother, it's really too strenuous for you to chop down trees like this."

The woodcutter heard the voice, stopped what he was doing, looked up at Sun Wukong, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a wry smile:
"You don't know, old man. This tree is very hard. Even though I am very strong, I can hardly move it."

Sun Wukong smiled slightly, walked forward, stretched out his hand and gently tapped the axe handle, saying:
"Although you have great strength, you also need to know how to use it. You see, if you adjust the angle of the axe a little bit and focus your strength on one point, you can get twice the result with half the effort."

When the woodcutter heard this, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he still followed Sun Wukong's instructions and swung the axe again.

This time, the axe hit the tree accurately. With a "click", the trunk broke and fell to the ground with a bang.

"This……"

The woodcutter looked at the fallen tree, so surprised that he was speechless.

He turned to look at Sun Wukong, his eyes full of gratitude.

"My dear father, your advice really enlightened me!"

Sun Wukong waved his hand and said calmly:
"They are just some tricks. If you can make use of your strength, your future will be limitless."

The woodcutter nodded repeatedly, the joy on his face was beyond words.

Seeing him like this, Sun Wukong took out a peach from his sleeve and handed it to him:

"Eat it, and it will help you go further."

The woodcutter took the peach and took a bite without hesitation.

In an instant, a powerful force surged into his body, and he felt as if all the muscles in his body were reforged, and his strength was even stronger than before.

He clenched his fists, hope gleamed in his eyes, and whispered:

"Father, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Sun Wukong nodded, turned and left, leaving only a handsome back view to the woodcutter.

After leaving the mountains, Sun Wukong came to a turbulent river.

On the river bank, a fisherman was standing on a huge rock, holding a fishing net in his hand, staring at the river, as if waiting for the opportunity to catch fish.

His movements were skillful, but he could never catch big fish, and there was a hint of anxiety on his face.

Sun Wukong stood on the shore, observed quietly for a moment, then stepped forward and said:

"My fisherman, you have great skills, but you lack patience and perseverance."

The fisherman heard the voice and turned to look at Sun Wukong, frowning slightly, with a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone:

"Father, fishing depends on experience and timing. You are pretending to know what you are talking about."

Sun Wukong was not angry. Instead, he smiled slightly, jumped lightly, turned into a huge golden carp, and jumped into the river.

When the fisherman saw this, his eyes widened and the fishing net in his hand almost fell into the river.

He quickly adjusted his posture, staring at the big golden fish in the river, his heart filled with excitement.

“This is a big fish!”

The fisherman whispered to himself, quickly cast his fishing net, and chased in the direction the golden fish was swimming.

However, the golden fish was extremely fast and its swimming trajectory was strange. The fisherman took great pains to finally catch it ashore.

The fisherman's face was covered in sweat and he was breathing heavily. Looking at the big golden fish in the fishing net, a happy smile appeared on his face.

However, when he was about to lift the fish, the big fish in the fishing net turned into a golden light and in the blink of an eye turned into the appearance of Sun Wukong.

"This……"

The fisherman was stunned and stood there. The fishing net in his hand fell to the ground with a "pop".

Sun Wukong laughed, patted the fisherman on the shoulder and said:
"Fishing requires not only skills, but also patience and perseverance. You performed well today and deserve a reward."

The fisherman came to his senses and hurriedly bowed and said:

"Father...you are..."

Sun Wukong waved his hand, took out a peach from his sleeve and handed it over:

"Eat it, and it will give you a boost."

The fisherman took the peach and although he was doubtful, he still took a bite.

Instantly, a gentle force surged into his body, his fatigue was swept away, and his mental state became more full.

He looked up at Sun Wukong, his eyes full of gratitude:

"Thank you for your advice, old man!"

Sun Wukong nodded, with some expectation in his tone:

"Go and take part in the 'Three Realms Trial'. Don't let this opportunity go to waste."

The fisherman clenched his fists, his eyes lit with fighting spirit, and replied in a low voice:

"I will do my best!"

Sun Wukong smiled with satisfaction, turned and left.

His figure gradually disappeared along the river bank, leaving the fisherman standing in the wind, feeling the unprecedented power in his body.

After Sun Wukong left the fisherman, he flew into the clouds and soon arrived above a prosperous city.

The city is full of tall buildings, and the streets are busy with traffic and people, making it extremely lively.

He smiled slightly, and transformed into a fortune teller wearing a gray robe and holding a whisk. He landed lightly on a corner of the street and set up a simple stall.

There was a small flag hanging in front of the stall with four big characters "Iron Mouth Divine Decision" inscribed on it, which attracted the attention of many passers-by.

Sun Wukong squinted his eyes, stroked his long beard, and sat behind the stall, like a hermit.

Soon, a young man with a sad face came over. He was wearing ordinary cloth clothes, his brows were full of worry, his steps were heavy, and he seemed to be worried.

The young man hesitated for a moment, but finally sat down in front of Sun Wukong's stall.

"Sir, can you tell my fortune?" The young man asked in a low voice with some anticipation.

Sun Wukong raised his eyes to look at him, counted lightly with his fingers, muttered something, and smiled after a moment:
"Young man, you are destined to encounter a miracle. Just wait patiently and someone will help you."

The young man was startled, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he asked in a low voice:

"Sir, do you really mean what you say?"

Sun Wukong smiled without saying anything and just nodded slightly.

The young man frowned, as if he didn't completely believe it, but he still took out a few copper coins from his pocket, put them on the table, and stood up to leave.

After the young man walked away, Sun Wukong shook his head slightly and thought to himself:

"This person's character still needs to be tempered, but he is a good candidate."

Next, several more guests arrived.

A middle-aged woman asked about her fortune. Sun Wukong counted with his fingers and said with a smile:

"You will be blessed with good fortune, but be careful and don't be greedy."

After hearing this, the woman thanked him repeatedly and left with satisfaction.

Then a young monk came and asked about the future.

Sun Wukong glanced at him and said slowly:

"The Three Realms Test, if you are determined, you will be able to show your skills."

After hearing this, the monk's eyes flashed with surprise, and he quickly asked:

"Sir, do you really mean what you say?"

Sun Wukong smiled but did not answer. He just waved his hand gently, indicating that he could leave.

The sun gradually sets and there are fewer and fewer people on the street.

Seeing that it was getting late, Sun Wukong packed up his stall and prepared to return to heaven.

However, just as he stood up, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps in the distance, mixed with low gasps.

He looked up and saw the young man who had come running towards him in a panic, followed by several masked men holding swords, who were obviously chasing him.

The young man's face was pale and his steps were staggering, obviously exhausted.

Sun Wukong frowned and thought to himself:

"It seems that this boy is indeed in trouble, which is consistent with my previous calculations."

He no longer hesitated, and with a flash of his body, he instantly stood in front of the young man.

"Who dares to commit murder here?"

Sun Wukong shouted loudly, with a sense of majesty in his voice.

Several masked men were stunned, then sneered:
"Old man, mind your own business, or I'll get rid of you too!"

Sun Wukong sneered, waved his whisk, and instantly knocked several masked men to the ground.

Before they could react, they were suppressed by an invisible force and could not move.

Seeing this, the young man's eyes were full of shock, and he said breathlessly:
"Sir...thank you for saving my life!"

Sun Wukong turned around and looked at the young man, with a bit of inquiry in his eyes:

"You have supernatural powers, but why are you so embarrassed?"

The young man was stunned, then smiled bitterly:
"Sir, you have a keen eye. I do have some special abilities, but they have always been coveted by various forces. If you hadn't intervened today, I'm afraid I would have died."

Sun Wukong nodded, secretly delighted, and then took out a peach from his sleeve and handed it to the young man:

"Eat it, it will help you improve your cultivation. If you are lucky enough, you can come and participate in the 'Three Realms Test' in the future."

The young man took the peach, his eyes full of gratitude, and took a bite without hesitation.

Instantly, a gentle force surged into his body, his fatigue was swept away, and his mind became clearer than ever before.

"Sir, I will remember your kindness in my heart!"

The young man bowed deeply, his tone firm.

Sun Wukong smiled slightly and patted his shoulder:

"Go ahead, practice well, and don't let this opportunity go to waste."

The young man nodded heavily and turned away.

Sun Wukong watched his back disappear around the corner of the street, feeling slightly satisfied, and then he turned into a ray of golden light and returned to heaven.

After returning to heaven, Nezha and Yang Jian had been waiting for a long time.

When Nezha saw Sun Wukong coming back, he immediately went forward and said excitedly:

"Monkey, we have followed your instructions and have completed the publicity for the 'Three Realms Grand Test'. The response from all walks of life has been enthusiastic, and the number of applicants has far exceeded expectations!"

Yang Jian also stepped forward and added calmly:
"Not only that, many monks from hidden sects and remote areas have also signed up. It seems that the influence of this selection is far beyond our expectations."

Sun Wukong nodded with satisfaction, with some expectation in his eyes:

"Very good, the next step is to prepare for the specific matters of the competition."

Nezha rubbed his hands excitedly, with a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes:
"Monkey, this 'Three Realms Test' will definitely shock the Three Realms!"

Yang Jian bowed slightly and said calmly:

"Great Sage, regarding the venue and rules of the competition, we already have a preliminary plan. Do you think we need to make any further adjustments?"

Sun Wukong waved his hand, signaling them to continue:

"Just go ahead and do it. I trust your ability."

Nezha and Yang Jian bowed together, then turned and left, each going about their business.

Sun Wukong stood in the hall, looking at the sea of ​​clouds in the distance, his heart full of anticipation for the upcoming "Three Realms Test".

He whispered to himself:
"This grand test will surely select true talents for the three realms."

Sun Wukong turned and walked to the table, picked up a scroll and slowly unfolded it.

The scroll is densely packed with the registration list for this "Three Realms Test".

He tapped the names on the list with his fingers, frowned slightly, and muttered to himself:

"With so many people, it seems that screening is also a huge project."

Sun Wukong's eyes swept over the list one by one, tapping the scroll lightly with his fingertips, as if he was thinking about something.

Suddenly, his finger stopped on a name, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

He put down the scroll, walked to the window, and looked at the rolling sea of ​​clouds outside. Suddenly, he had an idea and remembered that the God of Land had proposed to invite some respected immortals to participate in the supervision to show fairness.

He pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and called for the heavenly soldiers on duty.

"Send the God of Land to discuss this matter."

Sun Wukong's voice was steady, with a hint of unquestionable majesty.

The heavenly soldiers took the order and left. Soon, the God of Land walked slowly into the hall, leaning on a cane.

He was wearing a yellow robe, his hair and beard were all white, and he had a kind smile on his face. When he saw Sun Wukong, he bowed and said:
"The Great Sage has summoned me. What do you want me to do?"

Sun Wukong turned around, his eyes were gentle, but his tone was still a bit solemn:

"Lord of the Land, you previously proposed inviting a few highly respected immortals to participate in the supervision of the 'Three Realms Grand Test' to demonstrate fairness. I think this is a very appropriate matter. Do you have any suitable candidates?"

The God of Land stroked his long beard, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled:

"Great Sage, this is a brilliant move! I have several suitable candidates, all of whom are highly respected people in the Three Realms, with profound cultivation and good character. If we can invite them to come out, it will surely add some fairness and prestige to this grand test."

Sun Wukong nodded, with some approval in his tone:

"Okay, then you'll have to go there and make sure to contact them as soon as possible to explain our intentions."

The God of Land bowed slightly, with a respectful look:

"I will definitely live up to the Great Sage's trust. I will contact a few immortals and give you a reply as soon as possible."
