Primordial Era: A member of the Jie Sect, apprenticed to Tongtian

"If that's really the case...this monkey demon's origins are not simple."

It is precisely because of this that one can see that the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts on the monkey seem to have originated from the Nine Revolutions Primordial Arts.

Therefore, Jiao Fuhai became increasingly certain of his own judgment.

This monkey's identity and origins are definitely not those of an ordinary, idle demon king in the Three Realms.

The lineage behind it is mostly related to the great teachings of sages.

Moreover, since the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts on the monkey are derived from the Nine Revolutions Yuan Art, the difficulty of its cultivation must be ridiculously high—this is common knowledge.

However, judging from the monkey's energy and strength, it seems that it has mastered this kind of body-refining technique.

This is enough to show that the other party's natural talent and aptitude are truly extraordinary.

As for which sage or which major religion the other party's lineage originated from.

Then, the dragon covering the sea would naturally be unable to see it.

In fact, although the sages had different paths to sainthood.

However, if any sage intends to conceal something, it is not difficult to apply the methods of other sages.

For example, the "Shangqing Divine Thunder" 577, unique to the Shangqing lineage of the Jie Sect, is unique, but if Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to use it, he could do so easily.

The saying that a sage who understands one principle can comprehend all principles is no joke.

Therefore, Jiao Fu Hai began to observe Sun Wukong more and more carefully.

After a moment, he squinted and suddenly asked, "The Monkey King's magical powers are truly extraordinary—I admire him."

"But who knows which immortal mountain the Monkey King cultivates on, or which cave he studies in?"

His question was clearly tinged with a sense of probing.

Upon hearing this, however, the Dragon King of the East Sea, Ao Guang, was slightly taken aback.

Jiao Fuhai had a close relationship with the Dragon Clan, so he naturally knew the temperament of this Great Sage Fuhai.

Although he was kind to others, he harbored a sense of pride deep down.

Ordinary demons, even Taiyi True Immortals, are not worthy of his attention.

I don't think I'd have much interest in monkeys (ccbj).

But at this moment, the other party took the initiative to ask this question.

"Could it be... that this Monkey King has something special about him?"

Therefore, the Dragon King of the East Sea quickly realized this.

"I, Old Sun, once studied under a master, but I cannot tell you the specifics of my training or my master's name!"

But Sun Wukong's expression darkened upon hearing this.

Naturally, he was thinking of the time when he was expelled from Fangcun Mountain by Patriarch Subhuti.

However, he also naturally kept in mind the teachings of Patriarch Subhuti.

However, no matter what, they insisted on not revealing the name of Fangcun Mountain.

However, Jiao Fuhai had already obtained enough information upon hearing this.

The monkey's words were enough for him to confirm that the other party had indeed become a disciple of a certain great sage's sect.

As for why he was unwilling to reveal the name of his sect, Jiao Fuhai did not know, but he did not ask any further questions.

At this moment, he felt more conflicted than ever before.

"In the Three Realms today, the Chan Sect has been keeping a low profile for quite some time—those Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect have even closed their temples out of fear of the oppressive power of my Jie Sect. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be them."

Since the rise of the Jie Sect, the Chan Sect, knowing the conflict between the two sects, naturally dared not continue to roam the Three Realms.

Otherwise, one day, disciples of the Jie Sect might come knocking on their door to settle their karmic debts.

Therefore, the immortals of the Chan Sect have been staying obediently in their temples in recent years, avoiding any involvement in karma.

Almost all of his disciples were the same.

"The number of disciples in the Human Teachings is scarce, so it is impossible."

As for the Human Cult, it's easy to rule it out—that Sage Taiqing has always been indifferent to the secular world, especially in the last few hundred years, he has been completely silent, even more so than when the Tongtian Cult Master imprisoned himself in Biyou Palace.

Such a person, naturally, could not possibly teach the monkey in secret.

Moreover, to be honest, the disciples of the Human Sect are few, but the Sage Taiqing himself is the leader among sages, and he would never allow his own disciples and grand-disciples to be in such a state of destitution.

So in the end

"Buddhism?"

Jiao Fuhai vaguely deduced that the monkey's path to Taoism was likely related to Buddhism.

"So... what His Majesty Xuanchi asked me to do was to use it on this monkey right now?"

"As for the purpose, is it that Yuanquan Mountain is primarily plotting against Buddhism?"

The dragon overturned the sea, and his heart surged with emotion.

At this moment, he finally understood the profound meaning behind the entrustment that the Ancestral Dragon Xuanchi had given him.

But he showed no sign of it on his face.

He smiled broadly, as if he had spotted a predator and was delighted, and said according to the words Xuan Chi had instructed him: "I see—I see that the Monkey King seems to have mastered a powerful body-refining technique."

"Coincidentally, I also possess a rare treasure, obtained from the depths of the Northern Sea... It is a treasure left behind by the demon master Kunpeng in the past."

"To be honest, I am quite skilled in the art of physical cultivation, but unfortunately, I have not been able to find a powerful figure who can compete with me all these years."

"Why don't I be the host today... and have a contest between the Monkey King and me, so that I can see the Monkey King's supernatural powers."

"If the Monkey King's supernatural powers are worthy of that treasure, I will decide to give it to him."

"Furthermore, I could introduce you to a few more impressive figures—how about that?"

It's not surprising that a dragon could overturn the sea.

At least Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, didn't find it strange.

After all, it is known throughout the Three Realms that this Great Sage Who Overturns the Seas enjoys associating with some capable demon kings in the Three Realms.

It is said that in Xiniu Hezhou, there are many demon kings who have a friendly relationship with this Great Sage Who Overturns the Sea.

The Dragon King of the East Sea had no idea what was so special about the monkey in front of him.

The language used here clearly indicates a friendly attitude towards the other party.

It wasn't just him.

The Cundi Buddha Mother, who has always remained hidden in the shadows, senses the situation here with the spiritual awareness of a saint.

My judgment was consistent with that of the Dragon King of the East Sea.

"This dragon-overturning sea intends to associate with Wukong..."

The Buddha Mother Cundi was also pondering this matter deeply.

Because he discovered that this didn't seem to be a bad thing after all.

If possible, he certainly wouldn't want Sun Wukong to be associated with anyone related to the Jie Sect.

But now that he had seen the dragon covering the sea, he thought again—given the current power and influence of the Jie Sect in the Three Realms.

He made the monkey befriend the dragon, but it might have backfired and resulted in a situation where the truth was hidden.

From the perspective of Buddhist calculations, it might even be more beneficial.

Therefore, the Cundi Bodhisattva did not intervene in this matter.

They simply watched the monkey and the dragon covering the sea interact.

And it is quite obvious.

After hearing what Jiao Fuhai said, the monkey naturally became interested.

It must be said that the monkey was extremely confident in his supernatural powers—when he was learning his skills at Fangcun Mountain, he often showed off his powers to his fellow disciples, knowing that his supernatural powers surpassed those of all his fellow disciples.

However, since he left Fangcun Mountain, he has not had a real opportunity to use his magic to fight someone.

It was quite difficult for someone to invite us to a duel.

Even his opponent was the Great Sage Who Overturns the Seas, who seemed to be famous throughout the Three Realms.

The monkey, naturally, was extremely excited and nodded repeatedly, "Good, good, good! I, Old Sun, am willing!"

He agreed without hesitation.

"good!"
