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

Jiao Fu Hai is a wise person.

Intelligent people may believe in coincidences, but they will always think about them.

At this moment, Jiao Fuhai was undoubtedly deep in thought.

Because it's quite a coincidence.

Just as Sun Wukong arrived at the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, the sea eye of the East Sea began to stir.

Normally, even Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, wouldn't think much of this.

After all, guarding the sea eye is the destiny of the dragon race, and it is the greatest responsibility of the dragon race after the Dragon Han First Calamity.

It's normal for it to appear at any time, and in the understanding of the Dragon King of the East Sea, it is not something that anyone can artificially influence or manipulate.

But Jiao Fuhai doesn't think so.

Especially given that it is known that a sage was involved behind the scenes with Sun Wukong, and that it was at least a matter of scheming between the sages of the two religions.

He could naturally sense that there might be other reasons behind the unusual activity of the East China Sea eye.

Thus, Jiao Fuhai could vaguely understand the reason behind it.

"When I mentioned to Sun Wukong (Sun Wukong) that I wanted to introduce him to Fengtong and the others, the sea eye started acting strangely... Was the person behind him unwilling to see him become familiar with me, or was he worried about being associated with the Jie Sect?"

"Is the sage behind him plotting against my Jie Sect? Or is there some other reason?"

It can only be said that it truly lives up to its name as the Jiao Fu Hai (蛟覆海).

In the blink of an eye, one can vaguely guess the ins and outs of the matter.

However, Jiao Fuhai was also aware of this.

This is not something he can directly intervene in.

The sage calculated that if a nobody like him were to act beyond his control, he would be in danger.

Then they would be in grave danger of destruction at the slightest provocation.

"I have completed the task assigned by the mountain lord... and I have already given the staff to Sun Wukong."

As the thought crossed his mind, Jiao Fuhai's face showed a hint of worry.

He only said to Sun Wukong, "Brother Sun, there is chaos in the East Sea here—I am a dragon, and although I am friends with the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, I cannot stand idly by."

"Then the matter of introducing you to your brothers will have to wait until another day."

"Now I must first suppress the strange movement of the sea eye with the Dragon King before I can go to Flower Fruit Mountain to find my worthy brother."

Despite saying this, Jiao Fuhai was certain in his heart that the unusual movement of the East Sea Eye was probably not a crisis.

He would even let Sun Wukong return to Flower Fruit Mountain, even if he didn't care.

The unusual activity at the East China Sea eye will likely subside on its own in time.

However, his words here can be considered as leaving himself a backup plan.

After this incident, he will go to Yuanquan Mountain to inquire with the mountain master about the monkey.

The decision on how to handle this matter rests with the sage himself.

If the sage felt that he could continue to cultivate a relationship with Sun Wukong, then he would naturally lead Feng Tong and the others to Flower Fruit Mountain.

If a sage feels that the plan is sufficient, then he will naturally pretend that he never said those words today.

This is also another characteristic of smart people—always leaving themselves a way out and a choice.

"What are you saying, brother?"

But Sun Wukong was clearly not as thoughtful as Jiao Fuhai—he was a real, straightforward monkey.

"Since something went wrong in the East China Sea, I, Old Sun, am willing to go with you to suppress that sea eye!"

He spoke up, expressing his willingness to help.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Jiao Fuhai was completely bewildered.

"Brother Sun, you are a monkey demon. Judging from your supernatural powers, you are skilled in combat, but not so skilled in water. At most, you know some supernatural powers such as controlling clouds and rain."

"Our purpose in going to the sea eye is to dredge the water veins."

"Moreover, that sea eye is the destiny of the dragon race, and no other creatures other than dragons are allowed to set foot there."

That's how he explained it.

He wondered to himself once again which sage Sun Wukong was a disciple of.

Why are they so lacking in common sense?

Reason with him, even if it's just to toughen him up.

Shouldn't we be told some basic common sense about the Three Realms?

But Jiao Fuhai never expected this.

Buddhism intentionally refrained from imparting certain secrets of the Three Realms, or knowledge and beings that were too advanced, to Sun Wukong.

Otherwise, once Sun Wukong knew those things, how could he still be so lawless and fight against heaven and earth?

If this cannot be achieved, how can the Buddhist "Fighting Buddha" truly reach perfection?

Fortunately, though.

Although Sun Wukong lacks common sense, he is quite intelligent.

Hearing Jiao Fuhai's words at this moment, he also felt that they made a lot of sense.

He was indeed not good at swimming—this can actually be seen from the original Journey to the West storyline.

In the original Journey to the West, whenever they encountered monsters from underwater...

Sun Wukong usually finds it troublesome and often asks his second and third junior brothers, who are better at swimming, to lure the monster out of the water.

As for sorting out the water veins, Sun Wukong found it quite troublesome.

Furthermore, I've heard that the sea eye is an extremely important place for the dragon race.

Sun Wukong, who wasn't exactly lacking in emotional intelligence, naturally understood that his request just now did seem somewhat unreasonable.

After realizing that his earlier request was unreasonable, Sun Wukong...

He naturally didn't insist on it further.

He simply said to Jiao Fuhai, "In that case, I, Old Sun, will await your arrival at Flower Fruit Mountain!"

He naturally did not think that what Jiao Fuhai said was a lie.

I am truly looking forward to meeting the demon kings that Jiao Fuhai mentioned.

"good!".

Jiao Fuhai chuckled and nodded, but what he was really thinking was anyone's guess.

Following closely behind, Sun Wukong naturally did not linger for long.

After bidding farewell to the Dragon King of the East Sea, he leaped directly out of the East Sea.

He transformed into a streak of light and headed towards Flower Fruit Mountain.

The Dragon King of the East Sea and Jiao Fuhai immediately mobilized many shrimp soldiers and crab generals from the Dragon Palace, as well as sea patrol yakshas.

They charged straight towards the eye of the East China Sea.

In the following years, the two successfully quelled the anomalies in the East China Sea Eye.

Subsequently, Jiao Fu Hai naturally did as he had expected.

After bidding farewell to the Dragon King of the East Sea, he went directly to Yuanquan Mountain.

What needs to be known is...

Unlike before.

Today, Yuanquan Mountain is no longer located within the former territory of the State of Lu or the State of Qi.

After all, Yuanquan Mountain is now a genuine sacred site.

To be completely indistinguishable from human beings would be going too far.

Therefore, the location of Yuanquan Mountain today.

In fact, it was located in the "Land of Weiyou" of the Qin Dynasty.

In saying this, we must mention the special characteristics of the Qin Dynasty.

As an unprecedented dynasty, its foundation was not in the human realm.

The Qin Dynasty was not only destined to last for millennia.

More importantly, the Great Qin Dynasty was, in a sense, part of the Shiyuan Realm.

The Shiyuan Realm can use its "tentacles" to help the Qin Dynasty reach into the Three Realms.

And Yuanquan Mountain was thus able to hide within the Qin Dynasty—the essence of the 'Land of Unknown' is similar to the gap between the two worlds.
