"You ask who I am?"
Sun Wukong's eyes rolled, and he decided to announce his illustrious name. He couldn't believe that anyone else in the world would know his black history now.
"My name will scare you, listen up."
The Golden Monkey stood with the Jingu Bang, raised his voice, and said:
Born in the East Victory Divine Continent, Huaguo Mountain, where I trained from my youth.
Under the tutelage of the Lingtai Fangcun Ancestor, I mastered comprehensive martial arts.
I can stir the sea and subdue dragon mothers, skillfully carrying mountains and chasing the sun;
Binding monsters and capturing demons, claiming the top position, moving stars and changing constellations makes ghosts and gods worry.
Stealing the heavens and turning the earth, the famous and beautiful Stone Monkey of boundless transformations."
With another self-revealing poem, the Cultural Monkey showcased his extraordinary talents without repetition, fully highlighting his immense skills. As for that black history, like serving as Horses' Fortune, or being pressed under Five Finger Mountain for five hundred years, there's no need to mention it in the poem.
Moreover, Sun Wukong learned his lesson this time; after reciting the poem, he directly added, "I am the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, the most renowned demon of all time."
"Great Sage Equalling Heaven······"
Taibai True Monarch showed a trace of pondering expression, then said, "So it is——"
Sun Wukong tightened his grip on Jingu Bang, with a murderous heartbeat. If Taibai True Monarch dared to utter a "Horses' Fortune," he would beat the remaining words back down their throat with the pole.
"So it's a figure from before the End of Dharma."
As Taibai True Monarch's words finished, Sun Wukong's murderous intent slightly relaxed, followed by a disappointed expression on his face.
Although Taibai True Monarch didn't know "Horses' Fortune," he also didn't know the reputation of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven. For Taibai True Monarch, more crucial than the Great Sage Equalling Heaven was that the other party was a figure from before the End of Dharma.
"How did you survive the End of Dharma?" Taibai True Monarch pursued the question, "A Dao Fruit bearer above the third grade could absolutely not survive under the End of Dharma."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong showed a strange look and said, "You sure know a lot, but old Sun is not in the mood to explain it to you."
He moved Jingu Bang a bit, the sky felt flat, and as he knocked the end of the stick, there was a faint resonance of golden light, creating a golden circle around No Buddha Temple.
Previously, when Sun Wukong and Taibai True Monarch engaged, the aftermath spread across all directions; No Buddha Temple was no exception, but now it remained unharmed, clearly thanks to that golden circle.
"Your realm matches with your fruit status, probably counts as a strong one in today's world. Come, let old Sun witness your capability."
While speaking, the monkey displayed awe-inspiring momentum, around Jingu Bang appeared another distorted scene, as if the Divine Weapon contained a black hole.
But Taibai True Monarch did not respond.
His aura concealed the Taiji Formation, and a vast amount of Five Vile Qi suddenly gathered around, enveloping him.
Seeing this, Sun Wukong tilted Jingu Bang forward, and with pure strength, he unleashed a gust, breaking apart the Evil Qi, producing a clear sky scene. Yet, after the Evil Qi dissipated, Taibai True Monarch's figure was nowhere to be found.
"Hmph."
Sun Wukong could not help but grunt in displeasure, scratching his ear, having a urge to chase after.
With his perception, Sun Wukong could confirm that Taibai True Monarch hadn't truly left, but lingered around in a threatening manner.
Sun Wukong genuinely considered chasing to capture the opponent for a great battle, but if he left, there would be no one to protect No Buddha Temple. The Golden Circle was indeed formidable, but it might not block everyone.
Moreover, experiences from the journey west had told him that the Golden Circle never truly played a protective role.
Thinking as such, Sun Wukong grunted again, descended from the sky, entered the golden circle, and went into No Buddha Temple.
He walked straight to the back of the temple, arriving before the Bodhi Tree that replaced the mountain wall, and spoke to the white figure beneath the tree: "These youngsters nowadays truly don't have any Martial Virtue, no fighting spirit. Seeing old Sun's formidable strength, they just retreat without even trying. The sword momentum, indeed mighty, ranks among the top in those old Sun has seen. Retreating so lightly, aren't they afraid of dulling their edge."
"Taibai True Monarch practices the Supreme Method, walks the Supreme Forget Love path. Though taking an unconventional approach, his mental state is formed, beyond ordinary, not to be seen as an average sword cultivator impression." The Awakened sitting beneath the tree said with a smile.
Swordman, straightforward, sword cultivators must also go forward bravely, to sharpen their edge.
But fundamentally, it means aligning one's mental state toward the sword, thus harmonizing the mental state with Sword Dao. Taibai True Monarch has severed his own distractions, his heart essentially like a sword, needing no intentional maintenance, unaffected in sharpness by temporary retreat.
For him, Sword Dao is not such an inconvenient thing.
Upon hearing these words, Sun Wukong slightly nodded, understanding, then immediately asked: "What about that Jiang Tanyue you mentioned? This guy previously ran right after taking advantage, without any courage for battle. Surely you wouldn't claim he also practices Supreme Forget Love path?"
"Well······" The Awakened stumbled in speech, then he shook his head with a smile, saying, "Jiang Tanyue's advancements are heartfelt, a true temperament, though not Supreme Forget Love, his mental state is also not bad."
"Just say shameless," Sun Wukong mocked.
High emotional intelligence: true temperament.
Low emotional intelligence: shameless.
Sun Wukong's grievance is greater towards Jiang Li, who ran after gaining advantage, than towards Taibai True Monarch, ridiculing without hesitation, lacking the Buddha's tolerance, quite narrow-minded.
Upon hearing such blunt words, the Awakened also smiled, then turned to look at the side, saying, "Jiang Tanyue, the Mazer did not say you are shameless."
