The monkey said, "But this prophecy has been misread. Several supreme beings, through heaven-defying efforts, calculated this cause and effect and directly blamed it on the Imperial Clan of Luotian. Thus, during the 36th epoch's great calamity of the old Emperor, they ruthlessly made their move. Such an event... had never occurred before. You probably know the outcome a little bit. The old Emperor fell, those supreme beings also suffered heavy injuries, and even more so, they were backlash by the force of karma, all turning into statues. Only a wisp of breath was left, struggling to survive. But beings that have reached such a realm have many tricks up their sleeves. So, even in their semi-dead state, they interfered once more with the last generation Luotian Emperor's surge towards the ancestral realm. Causing him to fail, to suffer heavy injuries, and even forcing him to abdicate the throne. He handed over the imperial seat to his eldest son."
As the monkey spoke, it glanced at Chu Mo: "So the moment I saw you and heard what you said, I believed you right away because I knew at once who you were, a little child with the bloodline of the Luotian Imperial Clan, haha. Presumably, even the current Emperor of Luotian... probably has complicated feelings towards you. Because of your existence, the ancient ancestor of the royal family was besieged, leading to his collapse. His father the Emperor also intervened because of you when surging towards the ancestral realm, and likewise failed. So, although he is your close relative, um, let me calculate, he should be your maternal uncle, right? But in his heart, he probably wishes you were dead. Hahaha."
Chu Mo was astonished, shocked, and then silent.
The monkey was indeed clever, terrifyingly so. It was suppressed here, but it seemed to know everything under the heavens. Nothing could escape its fiery, golden eyes.
The monkey glanced at Chu Mo and then said, "So, you might want to think about it, your situation isn't great. The possibility of those supreme beings striking against you is now slim to none; they have already made moves twice and can no longer do so a third time!"
"But when I achieved Dao, someone did make a move once. I'm not sure who saved me, I just saw a seal." Chu Mo said.
"Eh?" The monkey was immediately surprised and looked at Chu Mo: "You tell me, what exactly happened?"
Chu Mo recounted the crisis he faced when splitting firewood and achieving Dao to the monkey. The monkey was rarely silent for quite a while. At last, it cursed resentfully, "A bunch of old bastards, all so cunning!"
"..." Chu Mo looked at it speechlessly.
The monkey said, "That was the only time, some shameless old thing sensed some unusual movements in the great lands of Yanhuang. He didn't even know who it was and just brazenly made his move. But luckily, there are people from the Royal Luotian Clan still protecting you. Maybe it was the late Emperor who left behind something, or perhaps someone else. Anyhow, when it comes to such extreme cases, unless they confess themselves, others can't deduce it."
Chu Mo nodded, looking at the monkey: "You mean to say, those supreme beings won't make a move against me in the future?"
"What will happen later on is hard to say. Some Tianji are also beyond my vision. But for the short term, those old things don't have the energy to deal with you. Because I am leaving! Little kid, didn't you find this place and try every means to set me free for this purpose?" The monkey said very directly.
Chu Mo's face flushed slightly, but he still nodded straightforwardly.
The monkey grinned with enjoyment, "I like honest people. Rest assured, kid, I will create a heaven-overturning opportunity for you. Because this is what I like doing the most!"
"Will there be danger? For instance, will they gang up against you?" Chu Mo was somewhat concerned. He had finally found such a huge backer, and he did not want the monkey to be taken out so quickly.
The monkey gave Chu Mo a sidelong glance: "Kid, I see that you're a bit worried about my strength, but don't worry, just wait and listen for news!"
Chu Mo and the monkey exchanged a great deal of information beforehand. This monkey was indeed formidable; being suppressed here, yet it knew far more than Chu Mo could have imagined, including some of the recent events.
Finally, the monkey said, "Kid, remember, chant the Buddha's Six-Syllabled Mantra 300 times toward that charm. Then, leave immediately. I will erase all traces of you being here. Got it?"
Chu Mo nodded, "Don't worry, Great Saint, I understand."
"Good, go now," the monkey waved its hand.
Chu Mo looked up at the Heavenly Stone, took a deep breath, and began to climb.
Fortunately, he continuously chanted the Six-Syllabled Mantra, and the peculiar forces of this place could not stop him, so his climbing speed was very fast.
The monkey lay there, bored out of its mind, its eyes pure and flickering with wisdom, muttering to itself, "Buddha had a far-reaching view, so why did you still seal me? I don't understand, I don't get it, I'm angry! It's a pity you're dead, otherwise I'd surely demand an explanation from you!"
Then, the monkey sighed again, "Spiritual Master Lingtong, oh Spiritual Master Lingtong, you should have faced the calamity when it was time, why leave such a big mess? I'm starting to suspect you did it on purpose! Investiture of the Gods...for your sake, how much more blood must be spilled?"
Chu Mo, of course, did not hear the monkey's monologue, or he would be even more astonished. Even so, he still felt as though there was an invisible force, forming a chess game, drawing everyone in the Luotian Universe into this game, whether willingly or not, each a chess piece. It was just unclear whether the Supreme was the chess player or also a piece in the game.
Chu Mo kept climbing, his speed getting faster and faster. In this spirit sealing place, bolstered by the Six-Syllabled Mantra, he was no longer affected by such restraints.
Shortly after, Chu Mo breached the clouds and reached the highest point of the Heavenly Stone, whereupon the bluish-brown rock was affixed a palm-sized, pale yellow charm.
"Is this the charm that has trapped the monkey for many years?" Chu Mo sighed lightly, unable to feel any power from the charm. He understood that it must be caused by the vast disparity in their realms.
After that, Chu Mo didn't waste any time; he began chanting the Six-Syllabled Mantra towards the charm.
One time, two times... Fifty times, a hundred times!
In the process of chanting the mantra incessantly, Chu Mo's understanding of the Six-Syllabled Mantra deepened. By the two hundred ninety-ninth time, Chu Mo suddenly felt a tremendous breath explode from the charm.
That breath almost blew him off his feet.
Chu Mo barely managed to stabilize his body and spirit, and began to recite for the three hundredth time.
Hum!
A brilliant light instantly illuminated Chu Mo's spiritual sea. The palm-sized, light yellow charm swiftly flew into Chu Mo's spiritual sea. After circling within the spiritual sea, it vanished in an instant, finally appearing on a Dao platform located at his heart.
The charm merged directly with the Dao platform, leaving only a mark.
Another Dao was successfully comprehended by Chu Mo. To him, this was an incredibly unexpected gain.
Following that, Chu Mo felt an immense power erupting from the Heavenly Stone, enveloping him and carrying him away, flying in a direction far from here.
In a haze, Chu Mo seemed to see a massive mountain collapsing in an instant, and a monkey, towering into the sky, standing right there.
Very soon, Chu Mo couldn't see anything anymore.
Then, he saw Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng.
The two brothers were indeed waiting for Chu Mo on the edge of the Leafless Forbidden Zone.
Seeing them, warmth filled Chu Mo's heart; he smiled slightly at them.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw both brothers' faces show astonishment as they looked past him.
At the far edges of the boundless cosmic void, from the deepest part of the Leafless Forbidden Zone, a light suddenly flared up.
That light seemed as if it wanted to pierce through the entire universe!
Even the combined brightness of a thousand suns was not as brilliant!
"Good heavens, what is?" Liu Yunfeng twitched at the corner of his mouth, not daring to utter the words "The Great Saint is born." Because this place was definitely not safe anymore. Powerful beings would surely come to investigate soon.
Zi Dao didn't speak, but a brilliant light burst forth in his eyes, such majesty was his lifelong pursuit!
Bang!
The beam of light exploded completely in the void.
Then, a shockwave emanated from the deepest part of the Leafless Forbidden Zone, sweeping forth. In an instant, it erased all traces. Even the marks of Xue Chunqiu entering the Leafless Forbidden Zone vanished without a trace.
A figure burst out of the Leafless Forbidden Zone and shot straight into the endless vault of the sky.
A gigantic staff of unknown length pierced through the heavens of the Trial Field, and then, in every corner of the vast and boundless Trial Field, every living creature heard a loud laugh.
"Hahaha...you scum of the Luotian Universe, I'm back!"
In an instant, the entire Trial Field fell deathly silent.
No one knew what had happened, but all the Heavenly Geniuses knew that something big had occurred! Something incredible had definitely taken place.
For a moment, in the entire Luotian Universe, countless supreme beings, ultimate beings, opened their eyes at the same time. Almost everyone's face turned pale, and their eyes filled with endless terror.
"This is bad, that demon monkey…it's back!"
