All the heavens begin with the mind-monkey.

Zhe Xingsun wiped out all of Kayako's clones with a single blow, but he was not pleased with himself.

These clones are not Kayako's true form, and they are extremely fragile. Even shooting them with spirit bullets would easily kill them, so it's only natural that she could wipe them out with a single blow.

The version of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill in the main god's hands is actually completely different from the original TV series version.

After completing his cultivation, Zhe Xingsun's inner energy already possessed the power to ward off evil spirits and exorcise demons, so it was only natural that he could sweep away these Kayako clones one by one with his staff.

However, Zhe Xingsun remained vigilant, because according to the original story, there would be another wave of attacks.

Sure enough, as the previous wave of attacks ended, Zhe Xingsun suddenly saw a row of Japanese paper doors in front of him, and the sound of men and women arguing came from behind the paper doors.

Upon seeing this scene, Zhe Xingsun immediately activated his spiritual senses. Although he could see the paper doors and the man and woman arguing behind them, his spiritual senses revealed nothing but emptiness.

Chu Xuan's voice came through the headset: "Wukong, has another Kayako appeared? We saw you standing still."

Zhe Xingsun informed Zheng Zha and Chu Xuan about the current situation, and Chu Xuan said, "This should be the scene in the original work where Kayako was killed by Saeki Takeo after their argument, but we just can't see this scene."

Inside the hotel, Zheng Zha and the others could see through Chu Xuan's computer that Zhe Xingsun was staring at them warily.

A moment later, he took the long stick and moved forward warily, but the next second, he suddenly turned to the side and dodged the attack of something with great speed.

However, what everyone noticed next was that Zhe Xingsun seemed to be constantly dodging, without showing any intention of retaliating.

Zheng Zha asked, "Why isn't Brother Monkey attacking? If you keep dodging, something bad will eventually happen."

Chu Xuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly started typing on the computer.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw that the scene in front of them seemed to have changed. At first, it turned into black and white, then into purplish-red, then into light blue. Finally, they didn't know what Chu Xuan had done, but when the scene returned to its original state, they suddenly saw: the paper doors that Zhe Xingsun had mentioned earlier, a Kayako lying on the ground, and another person, Saeki Takeo, holding a kitchen knife and constantly slashing at Zhe Xingsun.

Chu Xuan said, "I adjusted the camera's shooting effects, and I didn't expect that I could actually see these things that I couldn't see before."

Zheng Zha said, "They're just Kayako and Saeki Takeo. They both seem to have only ordinary physical abilities and shouldn't pose any threat to Brother Monkey."

Chu Xuan said, "Although they appear to have the physical abilities of ordinary people, this very fact suggests there might be other threats at play."

As they were talking, suddenly, Zhe Xingsun appeared on the screen. Just as Saeki Takeo raised his cleaver to swing at him, Zhe Xingsun instantly swept his iron rod horizontally, but only managed to sweep away air. However, Saeki Takeo's slash also missed Zhe Xingsun; he had once again nimbly dodged it.

Zheng Zha then said in utter astonishment, "We can't even hit this guy? Does that mean we can only take a beating without being able to fight back?"

Zhan Lan chimed in, "That's unlikely. The Supreme God wouldn't assign us a mission that's a guaranteed death. Isn't Saeki Takeo quite weak? What if we let Monkey King escape right now? Maybe if he does, Saeki Takeo and Kayako won't be able to catch up."

Chu Xuan said, "It might be possible, but then we wouldn't be able to complete the mission that the main god assigned us to kill Kayako."

Just then, everyone noticed that Zhe Xingsun was once again motionless in the scene. This time, he was actually standing directly in front of the two evil spirits, Kayako and Saeki Takeo, facing them head-on.

Meanwhile, Takeo Saeki and Kayako also found their angles and launched an attack on Zhe Xingsun together.

Saeki Takeo held a kitchen knife in both hands, raised it high above his head, and slashed at Zhe Xingsun; Kayako, who had been dismembered, also staggered to the vicinity and pounced on him.

Faced with the sudden attack of the two evil spirits, Zhe Xingsun stood motionless in place.

Just as the two evil spirits rushed towards him, and the cleaver and Kayako's blood-stained hands touched him, Zhe Xingsun swung his stick and swept it across the area once more.

This time, his golden aura was extremely dense, and with a "bang," the two evil spirits were smashed into pieces.

With his attack successful, Zhe Xingsun breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although he knew the pattern of Kayako's fifth wave of attacks in advance, Zhe Xingsun still felt some pressure when facing the sudden attack of these two evil spirits.

It wasn't that the two evil spirits were particularly terrifying, but rather that their attack methods were extremely disgusting. Any part of the body attacked by the two evil spirits in this wave, whether it was a finger being cut or a piece of flesh being chopped off, would disappear in the blink of an eye and be transported to its own internal organs and intestines. It was truly disgusting.

Therefore, Zhe Xingsun concentrated his mind, exerted all his strength, and even pushed the defense of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill to its limit, in order to kill the illusions of Kayako and Saeki Takeo in an instant.

Meanwhile, back in the hotel, Chu Xuan and Zheng Zha began their analysis.

Zheng Zha asked, "Chu Xuan, can you tell me what Brother Monkey just did? Those two evil spirits were clearly unattackable before, but suddenly he was able to kill them with a single blow."

After pondering for a moment, Chu Xuan said, "According to my guess, Wukong attacked two evil spirits before, but to no avail. So I think that if we attacked them then, they would just be illusions. But if these evil spirits are just illusions, they can't attack us. So, at the moment of attack, they might transform from illusions into physical entities, and then we can attack them."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jie asked, "But didn't Brother Monkey launch a counterattack when facing that Saeki Takeo's attack before? But it didn't seem to have much effect."

Chu Xuan said, "Perhaps we must face the simultaneous attacks of two demons, Kayako and Saeki Takeo, and counterattack the instant they both attack to kill them."

Hearing Chu Xuan's words, Zheng Zha and the others clicked their tongues in amazement, saying, "It's fortunate it's Monkey King. If it were us, we couldn't possibly have done something like that. Chu Xuan, you said before that the difference in combat power between me and Monkey King was huge, and I didn't admit it. But now that I think about it, even if Monkey King and I had the same combat power and the same strength and abilities, I still wouldn't be a match for him! Is the boost from the gene lock really that great?"

Zhao Yingkong, who overheard their conversation, asked, "You two were talking about the gene lock earlier. Does that mean Sun Wukong has already unlocked his gene lock?"

Zheng Zha explained, "This is our previous conjecture. According to Chu Xuan's guess, Monkey King is a creature that was born with its genetic lock unlocked to a very high degree. This is probably one of the differences between innate and acquired beings."

Zhang Jie, standing to the side, said, "Actually, when you guys mentioned the gene lock before, I didn't quite understand. Now that I think about it, when I first joined the Zhongzhou team, there were many more senior members who mentioned similar concepts. However, back then they weren't talking about the gene lock, but rather about unleashing potential. Unleashing potential has many stages: the first stage is unleashing combat instincts, the second stage is unleashing control over the body, the third stage is unleashing control over the brain, and the fourth stage is unleashing control over genes. But I also watched an extremely dangerous horror movie back then, so I don't remember it very clearly."

Chu Xuan nodded and said, "It seems that those veterans must have known some information that we don't, but unfortunately they are all dead."

Zheng Zha asked curiously, "Zhao Yingkong, I heard that people from your assassin family have unlocked their genetic locks. So, which stage have you unlocked?"

Zhao Yingkong responded, "If we follow your logic, it should be the first-order gene lock, which is the first-order unleashing of potential. When I'm fighting, I can release my fighting instincts and fully unleash my fighting potential. Like Sun Wukong, I should be able to react even when facing a surprise attack from two evil spirits at the same time."

"However, in an extremely dangerous battle, I might find it hard to imagine that I would have to counterattack at the very moment that two demons suddenly attack in order to kill them. In that situation, I might only be able to think of a way to escape, rather than how to fight back."

Chu Xuan said, "Thinking about it this way, perhaps Wukong has unlocked the third-tier gene lock, freeing him to control his brain. That's why he can think of all the information and details during the battle, and be able to notice that he needs to launch a counterattack when two evil spirits attack at the same time to kill them. I just don't know if he has unlocked the fourth-tier gene lock, and if there are any other gene locks after the fourth-tier gene lock."

As Chu Xuan was saying this, Zhe Xingsun in the scene suddenly stood still, motionless, as if waiting for something.

After a moment, Zhe Xingsun finally let out a long breath.

The next second, everyone saw a gigantic Kayako appear in the distance, as tall as a seven or eight-story building, striding towards Zhe Xingsun.

Seeing this, Zhe Xingsun showed no mercy, his whole body bursting with golden light. However, after it reached a certain point, the golden light began to recede, and even Zhe Xingsun's own golden fur began to gradually show some gray-black, as if returning to its original state.

In the original story, Cheng Shifei would transform into a small golden man every time he used the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, but his father, Gu Santong, would not.

There are two versions in the original work: one is that Gu Santong was not as old as he was 20 years later. He spent 20 years in seclusion in the dungeon and mastered the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill. Therefore, after passing on his skills to Cheng Shifei, Cheng Shifei was able to transform into the Little Golden Man.

Another theory is that Gu Santong had already cultivated to the point of returning to simplicity, while Cheng Shifei only mastered the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill after being taught internal energy by Gu Santong, so he could not return to simplicity like Gu Santong.

Both of these arguments have merit.

However, now that Zhe Xingsun has cultivated the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, he feels that the second explanation might be correct.

Zhe Xingsun pushed his power to its limit, transforming himself into a small, gray-black monkey. He looked inconspicuous, but he held an iron rod in his hand and swept it down at Kayako, who was seven or eight stories tall.

Zhe Xingsun, a monkey who is only 1.3 meters tall, is pitifully small compared to the enormous Kayako.

The blow was like a silver needle puncturing a balloon; with a sweep of the stick, Kayako's enormous head began to deform and explode.

Even so, Nagayako would not die, and she still waved her hand down towards Zhe Xingsun.

Zhe Xingsun did not dodge; he thrust his iron rod again, this time directly into Kayako's chest.

Zhe Xingsun did not have any golden light shining on him; instead, the internal energy around him turned into a transparent color, instantly forcing the approaching yin and turbid energy, as well as Kayako's clones, to melt away.

Inside Kayako's chest, Zhe Xingsun saw a special Kayako. As soon as it saw Zhe Xingsun, it turned around and ran away, but how could it escape?

Zhe Xingsun thrust the stick out and then kicked it. The stick traveled at several times the speed of sound, instantly smashing the special Kayako into oblivion. The stick then flew out again and landed in a nearby building, crushing half of the building.

Zhe Xingsun landed on the ground, and at that moment, the giant Kayako began to slowly dissipate.

At the same time, a notification from the main god echoed in Zhe Xingsun's mind: Destroy the main body of the curse once, and you will be rewarded with two C-level side quests and 4,500 reward points.

Inside the hotel, everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the giant Kayako slowly dissipate.

Zheng Zha laughed and said, "I feel like the gigantic Kayako wouldn't be of much use to Brother Monkey. The sense of oppression might not even be as strong as the previous wave of Kayako attacks. At least for me, if I were facing Kayako behind that paper door, I might have a hard time figuring out how to attack and kill her in a real fight. At least with the giant Kayako, I could pick up a submachine gun and fire a few shots with spirit bullets, hahaha."

Chu Xuan asked, "Wukong, is the mission complete?"

Zhe Xingsun's voice came: "Brother, the main god has also sent a message."

Chu Xuan said, "Let's come back first. Things should be much safer here for the next day."
