Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start

Chapter 37 The Chaos Demon Ape's Legacy: The Six-Eared Macaque's Apprenticeship

At this moment, the system's electronic voice sounded in Zhao Gongming's mind.

"Ding dong, detected that the Six-Eared Macaque, one of the Four Mischievous Monkeys, is being beaten up 100 meters in front of the host, triggering the God-level Selection System."

"Choose option one: Ignore the beaten Six-Eared Macaque, float away, and be rewarded with one liter of the top-grade primordial healing elixir, the Three Lights Divine Water."

"Option Two: Save the Six-Eared Macaque, take him as your disciple, and receive the Chaos Demon Ape Inheritance as a reward."

"The secrets of the law cannot be passed on to six ears. I guessed right. This monkey is indeed one of the Four Mischievous Monkeys, the Six-Eared Macaque."

Zhao Gongming's face showed a look of understanding. Back then, Pangu killed three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, among whom was the Chaos Demon Ape.

After the Chaos Demon Ape was killed by Pangu, its origin was divided into four.

They became the Four Mischievous Monkeys: the Spiritual Stone Monkey, the Six-Eared Macaque, the Long-Armed Ape, and the Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey.

Among them, the intelligent stone monkey is capable of transformation, understands the seasons, knows the advantages of the land, and can move stars and change constellations.

The Six-Eared Macaque is good at listening, discerning reason, knowing the past and the future, and understanding all things.

The gibbon with long arms can grasp the sun and moon, shrink mountains, discern good and bad fortune, and manipulate the universe.

The red-bottomed macaque understands yin and yang, knows human affairs, is good at entering and exiting, and can avoid death and prolong life.

According to Zhao Gongming, the Six-Eared Macaque was already born countless tens of thousands of years ago when the Taoist Ancestor was preaching.

Later, because he overheard the Daoist Ancestor preaching in the primordial world, the Daoist Ancestor said, "The Dharma should not be passed on to six ears."

From then on, no one dared to teach the Six-Eared Cultivation Method.

No wonder Liu Er has only reached the Earth Immortal level after cultivating for so long.

Zhao Gongming raised an eyebrow and made his choice instantly, "I choose option two."

Soon, a copy of the Chaos Demon Ape's inheritance appeared in the system space.

One hundred meters ahead of Zhao Gongming, the Six-Eared Macaque was only at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm.

How could they possibly be a match for three powerful demons at the Celestial Immortal level?

Before long, he was beaten black and blue, covered in blood, and on the verge of death.

After venting their anger, the three celestial demons glared fiercely at the Six-Eared Macaque.

"You stinky monkey, if you find any more rare herbs and treasures and don't hand them over, hehe, this stone will be your fate."

The bear demon casually grabbed a stone and squeezed it hard.

With a loud bang, the stone, under immense force, turned into dust and shattered into pieces.

The Six-Eared Macaque remained silent, watching the back of the three-headed demon.

He didn't say anything harsh, he just slowly clenched his fist.

After resting for a while, the Six-Eared Macaque's injuries had healed somewhat, and it headed deeper into the forest.

"Six-Eared Macaque, are you really willing to let them bully you forever?"

The Six-Eared Macaque shuddered and turned around, just in time to see Zhao Gongming. The little black tiger emerged from behind the hidden boulder.

"Who are you?"

The six-eared macaque looked puzzled.

"You are born with the ability to listen attentively, discern reason, know the past and the future, and understand all things. Can you guess who we are?"

Zhao Gongming had long heard of the Six-Eared Macaque's supernatural powers, and he was about to test them.

"this"

The Six-Eared Macaque hesitated for a moment, then thought of the scene when he overheard the Dao Ancestor preaching in Zixiao Palace.

Eavesdropping on someone's identity is a taboo, especially when it comes to secrecy.

"Use your supernatural powers without worry, I won't blame you."

Zhao Gongming gave the Six-Eared Macaque a shot in the arm.

Upon hearing this, Liu Er felt relieved and sat down on the ground to begin using his innate supernatural powers.

About fifteen minutes later, Liu Er suddenly opened his eyes, a strange light flashing in them.

"Are you Zhao Gongming, the chief disciple of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun of Kunlun Mountain?"

Zhao Gongming exclaimed in admiration, "Your supernatural powers are truly remarkable. I am a disciple of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun."

Upon hearing this, the Six-Eared Macaque became alert and immediately knelt down, pleading, "Please, Immortal Senior, accept me as your disciple."

Zhao Gongming became interested. "Why do you want to become my disciple?"

"I want to learn skills so that I won't be bullied anymore."

Liu Er's answer was simple, and equally firm.

Clearly, they have suffered a lot of bullying during their years of wandering in the wilderness.

"Then do you know that the secrets of the law are not to be passed on to six ears?"

Zhao Gongming smiled slightly.

"The secrets of the law should not be passed on to six ears."

Liu Er's face immediately darkened, a hint of despair flashing across his eyes.

It's another case of "the Dharma is not to be passed on to six ears," all because of the Taoist patriarch's saying that the Dharma is not to be passed on to six ears.

Is it possible that the Six-Eared Macaque will never be able to enter the true path of immortality in his entire life?

Zhao Gongming shook his head slightly. "What I mean is, do you know the true meaning of the Dao Ancestor's saying that the Dharma should not be passed on to six ears?"

"What do you really mean?"

Six-Eared Macaque blinked, somewhat puzzled. "Does this mean that the Daoist teachings are not passed on to the Six-Eared Macaque?"

Zhao Gongming continued to shake his head, "You're wrong. The Dao Ancestor's saying that the Dharma should not be passed on to six ears does not mean that he was unwilling to teach you the Dharma."

"In other words, when a master and disciple are imparting knowledge and resolving doubts, it is best not to let too many or unnecessary people hear the teachings, so as not to cause misunderstandings and lead the other party astray."

"Because everyone smells it at different times, has different comprehension abilities, different aptitudes, and different stages of learning, the teacher must determine the method of teaching according to the actual situation of each disciple. If other unsuitable disciples hear it and blindly practice it, they may be harmed."

The Six-Eared Macaque's eyes gleamed. "Was that Dao Ancestor's remark from back then for my own good?"

"That's right. Back then, when the Dao Ancestor preached in Zixiao Palace, all the listeners were at least Great Luo Golden Immortals. If a mere Earth Immortal like you were to eavesdrop, not only would you not make any progress, but you would also go astray. That's why the Dao Ancestor warned you."

Liu Er suddenly understood, and danced with joy, laughing loudly.

"I understand, I understand."

The pent-up frustration that had accumulated in his heart for countless millennia was completely dispelled in one day.

Zhao Gongming said, "Now that you understand, why don't you quickly perform the apprenticeship ceremony?"

The Six-Eared Macaque trembled. "You...you've agreed to take me as your disciple?"

"If you agree now, things might change later."

Liu Er hurriedly bowed to Zhao Gongming, saying in a humiliating manner, "Disciple Liu Er Macaque greets Master."

After the formal ceremony, the Six-Eared Macaque officially became Zhao Gongming's disciple.

Zhao Gongming looked at the Six-Eared Macaque's eager expression and laughed.

"Look at how impatient you are! Your master will now impart a wonderful method to you."

Zhao Gongming placed his palm on the crown of the Six-Eared Macaque's head and passed on a portion of the Chaos Demon Ape's inheritance to the Six-Eared Macaque.

It wasn't that Zhao Gongming was unwilling to hand over all his inheritance to the Six-Eared Macaque at once.

Rather, the Six-Eared Macaque himself was only at the Earth Immortal level, and he couldn't withstand the full force of the teachings.

After imparting the technique, the Six-Eared Macaque's eyes lit up. "What a profound technique! Thank you, teacher."

"No need to thank me. Just focus on your cultivation, and when you've achieved something, I'll take you to seek revenge."

"Yes, Master."

Liu Er was immediately invigorated, feeling his whole body brimming with energy.

Next, Zhao Gongming used his magic to build three wooden houses, where he settled down and taught Liu Er how to cultivate.

Time flies, and a century has passed in the blink of an eye.

Liu Er's aptitude was originally among the best in the Three Realms, and after cultivating for hundreds of millions of years, his foundation was extremely solid.

In addition, there is the Chaos Demon Ape inheritance, which is very compatible with it.

His cultivation level skyrocketed, rising directly from the peak of Earth Immortal to the peak of Heaven Immortal.
