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

That's right—the stick in his hand wasn't something he obtained from the Northern Sea.

It was before that Xuan Chi had instructed him to travel the world to complete Shi Yuan's arrangements.

The "key thing" given to him.

According to Xuan Chi.

"When the time is right, you will know the purpose of this item."

Jiao Fuhai originally did not know the meaning of these words.

However, after seeing Sun Wukong here, and guessing that he might be the person the sage had planned and arranged.

Jiao Fuhai naturally understood.

Xuan Chi handed this stick to him, which is just the right weapon for Sun Wukong to use.

That's why he spoke so decisively.

In fact, this is also why Shi Yuan chose Jiao Fu Hai as the executor of this plan.

The reason why this Great Sage Who Overturns the Seas has been able to maintain a close relationship with the lineage of Yuanquan Mountain over the years and has made quite a name for himself in the Three Realms is because of this.

His cultivation level, interpersonal relationships, and past karmic ties with Shi Yuan are certainly factors to consider.

But the most crucial one.

Yet this Great Sage Who Overturned the Seas was indeed a clever man.

Assess the situation, judge the overall picture, and even know what you should and shouldn't know.

And most importantly, this Great Sage Who Overturned the Seas was intelligent.

But he is not the kind of cunning, two-faced person.

Or perhaps he knew very well that being two-faced would only make him cannon fodder in a contest between sages.

Therefore, he chose to join the Jie Sect when he was dealing with the demon master Kunpeng in the past.

Over the years, he has truly devoted himself to serving the Jie Sect.

They were especially sincere towards the Yuanquan Mountain lineage.

This is the reason why Shi Yuan trusted him during this time.

A smart person, and a smart person who knows the rules.

His relationship with the Jie Sect was not particularly close, nor was he a direct disciple of the Yuanquan Mountain lineage.

Such a person is the most suitable candidate to carry out this plan.

Of course.

Shi Yuan had already made his decision in his heart long ago.

All that matters is that Jiao Fu Hai can complete his plan.

After that, he would have Xuan Chi take Jiao Fu Hai as his disciple.

To truly make him a member of the Yuanquan Mountain lineage.

This can be seen as compensation for what he did and the choices he made.

Meanwhile, Jiao Fuhai clearly did not disappoint Shi Yuan.

The crucial lie he concealed with countless truths naturally did not seem like a fabrication.

Not to mention other people.

Even Cundi, the Buddha Mother who had always been on the sidelines with doubt and caution.

He frowned slightly, unsure of the situation.

If it were a normal day...

As a sage, he could not possibly be deceived by Jiao Fuhai—even by Jiao Fuhai's words, which were nine parts truth and one part falsehood.

As soon as the lie is uttered, the Cundi Buddha Mother will naturally sense it.

The secrets of heaven are ever-changing, and all things are revealed—how can one deceive a sage?

But the situation is different now.

The secrets of heaven are concealed by Buddhism itself, and the Cundi Buddha Mother dares not make too explicit a calculation.

He can only rely on his own knowledge and experience to make guesses and judgments.

(Li Zhao Zhao) Under such circumstances, Shi Yuan was calculating with his mind on the matter but not with his mind on the matter.

Cundi Buddha Mother, of course, was also fooled.

"...The spiritual treasures of the Northern Sea...I have indeed heard of the Kunpeng's profound secrets..."

He stared at the black iron rod, his mind racing with thoughts.

Of course, as a sage, he could not possibly believe Jiao Fuhai's words completely.

Therefore, he immediately used his saintly divine sense to sense the pitch-black iron rod in Jiao Fuhai's hand.

I don't know about the other tribulations.

However, Cundi Buddha Mother is confident in her status as a saint.

If there's anything wrong with this pitch-black iron rod, he'll definitely be able to sense it—and from that, he can also judge whether what Jiao Fuhai said is true or false.

Meanwhile, the Buddha Mother Cundi sensed the pitch-black iron rod with her saintly divine sense.

They scrutinized every detail, thoroughly examining the entire iron rod.

After that glance, he couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in his heart.

Because of the senses.

He was astonished to discover that this pitch-black iron rod was actually a congenital artifact.

This is naturally not difficult for Cundi Buddha Mother to see.

All things innate are born under the influence of the primordial Qi.

It exists within heaven and earth, yet it was born from the innate.

Therefore, the sage's divine sense will naturally give him an innate feeling.

This is also one of the most important ways to determine whether something is innate.

Moreover, the key point is that Cundi Buddha Mother can indeed sense it.

"This pitch-black iron rod is indeed an incomplete innate spiritual treasure."

"Moreover, it has existed for a very long time."

This is also quite obvious.

In the perception of a sage, the completeness of a spiritual treasure cannot be said to be as clear as the lines on the palm of one's hand.

But it can also be said to be extremely clear.

The imperfection of a flawed spiritual treasure is as glaring as the sun in the night in the perception of a sage.

It belongs to the part that cannot be misperceived.

As for the age of this pitch-black iron rod, Cundi Buddha Mother could naturally sense it—this spiritual treasure is quite ancient.

Therefore, at this moment, Cundi Buddha Mother naturally felt completely at ease.

Because everything he sensed here corresponded perfectly with what Jiao Fuhai had said.

Moreover, at least in the eyes of Cundi Buddha Mother, the possibility of it being fake is unlikely.

Innate spiritual treasures are inherently difficult to wear down and are extremely precious.

Furthermore, the antiquity of this jet-black iron rod is undeniable.

So no matter how you look at it, it's exactly as Jiao Fuhai said—this treasure is very likely a spiritual treasure that was naturally conceived in the Northern Sea, but is incomplete because it was born prematurely.

Only in this way can everything be explained.

After all, the Northern Sea is an ancient land that has existed since the beginning of time, so it is normal that the spiritual treasures it nurtures are extremely ancient.

Of course, there is actually another possibility.

That is, this magical treasure was obtained by Shi Yuan, and it was an incomplete part of a certain innate magical treasure from ancient times.

The Dragon-Overturning Sea was given to them in advance as part of a scheme.

But clearly, Cundi Buddha Mother had not considered this possibility at all.

The reason is quite simple.

If this possibility is true.

He simply couldn't imagine how long ago Shi Yuan had planned this.

What they considered a top-secret "Journey to the West to Release from Calamity" was actually arranged by Shi Yuan many years in advance.

If that's the case, then their Buddhist schemes can basically be dismissed outright.

Therefore, Cundi Buddha Mother would naturally not even consider such an absurd possibility—as a saint, if she didn't even have this much confidence in her own calculations, then she shouldn't be engaging in any great sectarian competition or planning.

Therefore, at this moment, Cundi Buddha Mother directly believed the explanation given by Jiao Fuhai.

And so, I began to consider it.
