Chat group: Living in a fantasy world, investing in countless realms

Liu Er watched as the cave was destroyed without leaving a trace, and felt that even the heavens were helping him.

Chapter 721 Six-Eared Serendipity: Sun Wukong, you've fallen into the trap! (4/5, Please Subscribe)

Little did he know that he was already caught in the middle of it all.

At this moment, Sun Wukong, hidden in the shadows, made hand seals and transferred a wisp of his own energy to Liu Er.

Otherwise, Liu Er's fortune would be utterly insignificant, and he would only become one of the eighty-one tribulations in the original story.

This method was originally impossible to hide from Great Luo Immortals and Quasi-Saints.

However, now that the secrets of heaven are in turmoil, there is a possibility of success.

It was this very luck that made Liu Er feel better and better, as if everything was going according to his wishes.

"It's fate!"

"It seems even the heavens want me to defy fate!"

Suppressing the urge to burst into laughter, Liu Er found the direction of Dongsheng Shenzhou and soared away on a cloud.

Although he had not found a famous master over the years, he had heard of many cultivation techniques thanks to his Six Ears Divine Power. Although he had not become a celestial immortal, he had already passed the Heavenly Tribulation and become a person of the immortal path, so it was not difficult for him to ride the clouds.

Huaguo Mountain is the ancestral vein of the ten continents and the source of the three islands.

This place is blessed by the creation of heaven and earth, and contains the wonders of heaven and earth; it is an unparalleled blessed land.

Not long after arriving in Dongsheng Shenzhou, Liu Er easily found the location of Huaguo Mountain.

Because that place is so special.

The place was filled with auspicious energy, with phoenixes singing and unicorns strolling about. It was truly a blessed land for immortals.

Beneath the auspicious aura, however, lay wisps of dark energy, their malevolent nature difficult to discern.

Liu Er understood immediately.

This must be demonic energy.

Having read Journey to the West, he knew that Flower Fruit Mountain was not a blessed land, as it was home to seventy-two demon kings.

The reason these demons did not harass the monkey troop was simply because they feared the gods.

Once the Monkey King sets sail, the monkeys' hard times will be over.

With a bit of Sun Wukong's luck on him, Liu Er rode a cloud and easily landed in front of the Water Curtain Cave.

During that time, he felt as if he had passed through an invisible barrier.

"This is either a restriction that originated from Flower Fruit Mountain itself, designed to protect Sun Wukong, or it's a restriction set up by a deity!"

"It seems that destiny is indeed on my side. I was able to enter this place so easily; what a stroke of luck!"

He originally planned to go to sea to find a master on his own.

However, he is Liu Er, not Sun Wukong, so who would take him in?

Therefore, he came up with a plan to take the monkey with him to become an apprentice.

When the time comes, it seems they will come together, and perhaps he will be able to cultivate immeasurable supernatural powers.

Actually, supernatural powers are not the key point.

With his talent, it wouldn't be difficult for him to cultivate the same techniques as in the original story.

The key is that he can influence the monkey's temperament and emotions during the training.

Only by becoming close to the monkey could he scheme against it and stage a clever substitution.

Otherwise, he would have had no ability to intervene in the Journey to the West plan.

Sun Wukong was the key to this opportunity.

As soon as he landed, monkeys jumped down from the tree and landed nearby.

"Where are you from, you monkey? Why have you come to my Flower Fruit Mountain? Could it be that you have also heard of my king's fame and come to pay your respects?"

“That’s right.” Liu Er was just looking for a reason when he heard this and looked at him with admiration. “I have long heard of the great name of the Monkey King of Flower Fruit Mountain. I have come here today to pay my respects. I hope you can introduce me to him.”

"An introduction? You sure know how to talk, you monkey. Come with me!"

The monkey, unfazed by strangers, led Six Ears straight to the back of the mountain.

They hadn't gone far when Liu Er saw a monkey, its body radiating golden light, lazily reclining on a boulder, munching on a peach while looking over.

"This monkey is unfamiliar. It doesn't look like one of the people from Flower Fruit Mountain. Where did it come from?" the substitute monkey asked.

Liu Er quickly repeated what he had said earlier.

The stand-in monkey was surprised: "My reputation has spread that far? Sigh, troublesome, with greater fame comes more trouble."

Liu Er was surprised.

Not right.

Shouldn't Sun Wukong have been very ambitious and eager for quick success in the early stages?

Why does this monkey not only look lazy, but also seem so listless?

This doesn't match the original story.

Liu Er was shocked.

"Little monkey, go downstairs. I have something to say to him."

The stand-in monkey waved his hand, and the little monkey respectfully withdrew.

"Are you a little confused?" Sun Wukong asked.

Liu Er was startled: "What do you mean?"

“You shouldn’t be here at this time!” The substitute monkey looked up at the sky with a subtle expression. “Could it be that you have also glimpsed the secrets of heaven?”

Liu Er broke out in a cold sweat.

Could it be that Sun Wukong has also read Journey to the West?

"One day, I experienced a very strange thing in my dream. In the dream, I cultivated the path of immortality... and finally became the Victorious Fighting Buddha!"

"This is not the life I want. I've made up my mind. I'll spend my three hundred-plus years here on Flower Fruit Mountain, free and unrestrained, and that will not have been a wasted life."

Upon hearing this, Liu Er became extremely anxious.

If Sun Wukong didn't go to sea, how could he become a disciple with him, build a deep relationship with him, and then scheme against him?

“Your Majesty, cultivating immortality and living a carefree life are not mutually exclusive. Why don’t we go to sea together? When the time comes, you can return to the mountain to be the all-powerful Great Sage Equaling Heaven, while I will take your place in the tribulation and become the Victorious Fighting Buddha.”

Liu Er is different from Sun Wukong.

He lacked extraordinary luck, no powerful figure was willing to nurture him, and no one was willing to make him the protagonist.

He dreamed of attaining the status of the Victorious Fighting Buddha.

"You'll take my place?"

"If something goes wrong, it could be fatal."

The substitute monkey looked surprised. "No, no, how could I possibly harm you?"

"I am willing to join this game, Your Majesty, why trouble yourself further?" Six-Eared Macaques advised repeatedly. "I urge Your Majesty to set sail. When the time comes, Your Majesty will become the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, protecting the monkey clan, while I will become the Holy Buddha of Mount Ling. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds? There are many demons outside the restrictions of Flower Fruit Mountain. Can Your Majesty bear to see the restrictions disappear and the monkeys be bullied by demons?"

The substitute monkey pondered.

Sun Wukong, high in the heavens, was practically dying of laughter.

Although Liu Er did it willingly or not, he had the means to usurp the fortune that Liu Er had gained in Journey to the West.

However, he found it amusing that he would willingly walk into such a dead end.

"Fine, so be it," the substitute monkey sighed. "Don't regret it later. I don't want to go to the Western Paradise to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will never regret it!"

Six-Eared Buddha, his face serious, was secretly overjoyed: "That mere Sun Wukong was tricked into a trap by me with just a few words. How foolish! Watch how I, the Six-Eared Buddha, will manipulate you at will. Haha... My path is complete!"

"How did this Six-Eared Macaque end up in Flower Fruit Mountain?"

At Mount Ling, Buddha Tathagata's heart stirred. His Buddha Eyes, penetrating the Three Realms, directly spotted Six-Eared Macaque, who was conversing with Sun Wukong, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Theoretically speaking, before Sun Wukong set sail, no one could possibly enter Flower Fruit Mountain.

The monkey possesses an incredibly powerful destiny, embodying the essence of heaven and earth.

The place where he is located is naturally a blessed land.

Even without practicing spiritual cultivation, one can live a life free from disasters and illnesses.

This is a blessing from Heaven.

This is one of the reasons why the demons dare not invade.
