The once rebellious monkey that caused untold turmoil in the entire Luotian Cosmos has returned!

The news was instantly disseminated. Everyone who had heard of the monkey's "great achievements" was stunned. How could it be possible that the monkey, personally suppressed by the Buddha, could one day escape its confinement?

Ordinary people might not know, but how could those high-status individuals not be aware of where that monkey was suppressed? In their view, that monkey shouldn't even dream of being reborn until the day its body perished and its Dao dissipated.

Not to mention how terrifying the place of Forbidden Leaves is, there would be no Great Saint Realm cultivator who would rescue it. As for the Buddha's methods, who would be able to break through them? It would take a supreme being of the same level as the Buddha to personally intervene to possibly break the seal on that monkey. But how could there be someone of that realm willing to rescue the monkey in this world?

"Who exactly was it? Who released that monkey?"

"Who is so bold and reckless, it's utterly outrageous!"

"Whoever released the monkey wants to see the Luotian Cosmos plunged into chaos once again, their heart deserves death!"

"Investigate! Immediately find out who has entered and left the Trial Field recently. Report any suspicious names at once!"

For a time, countless powerful beings issued this command.

The Xue Family.

Xue Chunqiu stood dumbfounded in front of Elder Ancestor Xue Han, unable to believe that his mere visit to the Trial Field had caused such a disaster, not gaining the slightest advantage, let alone that such tumult arose after his departure!

"Tell me the details," Xue Han said, appearing quite composed, his eyelids lowered, sitting cross-legged with a pair of withered hands resting on his knees, and his voice steady.

But Xue Chunqiu knelt down with a thump and said with a trembling voice, "Elder Ancestor, it really wasn't me!"

"Of course, I know it's not you. Do you have that ability?" Xue Han's eyes suddenly opened wide, looking at Xue Chunqiu with immense disappointment: "You're not weak in the Saint Realm. With your realm, you can easily seal an entire major domain that lacks a Saint, like Yanhuang or... Beidou."

Xue Han had not spoken so much in countless years. He looked deeply at Xue Chunqiu: "And you, you went to the Trial Field to kill a Supreme Realm youngster. And then? Not to mention you almost ruined your cultivation, you also caused a huge blunder!"

Xue Chunqiu turned pale as he finally realized what the three young men's promised meant. But he didn't understand how three Supreme Realm individuals... well, one of them had the bloodline of the Zi Family, and that first place fellow from the Trial Field's Heavenly Ranking was a Quasi-Saint. But so what? He, a Saint, almost met his demise in the place of Forbidden Leaves. Even if they could avoid danger because of that brat Lin Hei, how could they have released the monkey?

What exactly are these three brats trying to do? By doing this, aren't they basically trying to poke a hole in the heavens!

Xue Han asked, "Who knew about you entering the Trial Field?"

Xue Chunqiu answered respectfully: "The two cultivators guarding the entrance at the Luotian Immortal Domain's entrance."

"Send someone to kill them, no need for any reasons. It's simply to silence them. But make sure it's clean, otherwise no one can protect you," Xue Han finished and waved his hand, dismissing Xue Chunqiu.

Full of unanswered questions and daring not to ask, Xue Chunqiu could only depart with a heavy heart.

He immediately arranged for someone to kill those two cultivators. The Xue Family's reaction was swift; they thought to silence any witnesses the moment they received the news.

However, the people Xue Chunqiu sent were too late!

The two cultivators guarding the entrance had vanished!

No one knew whether they were dead or had been taken away by someone else.

But from the Luotian Immortal Domain to the entrance of the Trial Field, it was empty, with not a soul in sight.

Upon receiving this news, Xue Chunqiu threw a cup in rage, smashing almost everything breakable in the room.

Then he called over Xue Wuqing and berated him fiercely before taking him to the place where Xue Wulei was resting. Almost gnashing his teeth, he told his two brothers that if they dared to provoke Lin Hei or anyone from Lin Hei's side in the future, the Xue Family would deal with them directly by their family law!

After the scolding, Xue Chunqiu then went to consult with Elder Ancestor Xue Han on a plan of action.

Meanwhile, brothers Xue Wulei and Xue Wuqing looked at each other, utterly clueless about what had happened.

"Brother, could this matter be related to that monkey that escaped its bonds?" Xue Wulei asked.

The two brothers were truly Heavenly Geniuses, not stupid or dull. They could sense the gravity of the situation from their father's unusual behavior.

Xue Wuqing said softly, "Father seemed severely injured when he returned from the Trial Field. Although he didn't say so, I suspect... this has a very high chance of involving Lin Hei and his group."

"With just them?" Xue Wulei was shocked: "How could that be possible?"

Xue Wuqing whispered, "Do not forget which place that monkey escaped from."

"The Forbidden Leaves…" With just two words, Xue Wulei's mouth snapped shut in horror, his face in shock: "How could this be possible?"

"This is the only explanation I can think of. Otherwise, why wouldn't father let us get involved with Lin Hei's group again?" Xue Wuqing sighed.

"Lin Hei…" Xue Wulei gritted his teeth: "Damn it!"

"There will always be a chance in the future, bide our time for revenge, and it will come!" Xue Wuqing said.

...…

Chu Mo and his two brothers had already left the Dry Leaf Forbidden Ground, and after several days, they arrived in an ancient city.

The atmosphere inside the ancient city was extremely tense, and hardly anyone paid much attention to the trio. Almost everywhere, there were discussions about that monkey.

"What? You don't know what happened? Brother, you're seriously out of the loop. Let me tell you, there once was a monkey that was a top-tier Great Saint..."

"That monkey has reappeared, to everyone's astonishment, it's actually been suppressed in the Trial Field. It's hard to imagine, they say that monkey is quite terrifying, unbeatable by anyone below the ancestral realm."

"I've heard that even beings of the ancestral realm are not a match for the monkey!"

"Indeed, it has fought many supreme beings of the ancestral realm. Although it couldn't defeat them, those beings couldn't do anything against it either."

"It's still the same old Buddha..."

"Enough about that matter."

Such discussions were abundant as he walked down the street.

Only top Heavenly Genius could enter the Trial Field. These people were originally the most outstanding and the proudest. But when it came to that monkey, not a single one showed a disdainful look.

Chu Mo thought to himself: It seems that monkey truly is immensely powerful, and it must be the Great Saint that was once suppressed by the Buddhist sect, as the old monk mentioned. Although he hadn't spent much time in contact with the monkey, Chu Mo could sense that it had a heart of a child—hating evil as if it were an enemy, despising all that is decrepit and outdated. It possessed an indomitable spirit and seemed bent on breaking all chains and fetters.

As this news continued to ferment, another voice finally emerged.

"Hahaha, the return of the Monkey Great Saint is truly Heaven's blessing! Our demon race finally has someone who can stand up and speak for us again!"

"That's right, those supreme beings born of the demon race, who have forgotten their own identities, dare you suppress our Monkey Great Saint again?"

"It's said that the Fox Heaven Great Saint has come out of seclusion!"

"The Bull Demon Great Saint is also reported to have left his retreat!"

"The Great Saint Roc has just flown from its place of closure!"

"The Great Saint Sea Dragon has come out of seclusion!"

These pieces of news were more astonishing than the last, one after another they came in rapid succession.

In a small tavern.

Chu Mo, Zi Dao, and Liu Yunfeng, the three brothers, were drinking.

All three wore expressions of contemplation after sealing up the private room they were in, Zi Dao laughed and said, "This time, we've really stirred up the heavens."

Liu Yunfeng asked, "Are these Great Saints coming out of seclusion related to the Monkey Great Saint?"

Zi Dao nodded and sighed, "The Monkey Great Saint once amazed the world with his talents; he was a leader among the younger generation of the demon race, almost all demons held him in high regard, hoping to be led by him to a higher status for the demon race. In fact, the Monkey Great Saint did indeed succeed. He almost overturned the entire Luotian Immortal Domain. Even the Dao Conversion old immortal ancestor of the Imperial Clan..."

Zi Dao glanced at Chu Mo and said softly, "They somewhat didn't know what to do with him."

Liu Yunfeng gasped, while Chu Mo looked on in shock.

Zi Dao continued, "Later, when the Monkey Great Saint wanted to develop with a group of young demon race Great Saints, they were crushed. Ironically, the ones who suppressed them the hardest were not cultivators from the Human Clan nor that Buddha but... several supreme beings from the demon race themselves!"

Zi Dao looked at Chu Mo: "It should be those aiming to kill you."

Chu Mo forced a smile and asked, "Why? Isn't the emergence of more elites within the same clan a good thing?"

"No, not for those people," Zi Dao said, "In this Luotian Universe, it is said that only one Supreme can arise. Alright, it's said that one universe can only have one Supreme. Moreover, the number of beings in the ancestral realm is limited. Because each supreme being of the ancestral realm represents a Heaven's Will. That is the supreme Great Dao. Although the Great Dao is vast, you must have also heard another saying."

"All Dao return to one?" Chu Mo frowned and asked.

"Have you heard of it?" A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Zi Dao's eyes as he stared intently at Chu Mo.

"No, I just thought of it," Chu Mo answered honestly.

"Indeed a genius!" Zi Dao sighed, "You could deduce that on your own; it's something I couldn't comprehend to such a degree."

"Is it that difficult?" Chu Mo was somewhat puzzled.

Liu Yunfeng said, "It's not just difficult, it's extraordinarily tough. If no one points it out, I'm afraid only those above the Great Saint level can grasp it."

Zi Dao nodded, "All Dao return to one; that 'one' is actually the Supreme. So, it's said that one universe can only have one Supreme, unless..."

He didn't specify what the exception was, but both Chu Mo and Liu Yunfeng immediately understood.

Unless the Supreme dies.
