In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

"The four monkeys of the world are all naturally born and raised spirits, and all have boundless potential."

First is the Red-Bottomed Macaque. When Yu the Great was controlling the floods, the Red-Bottomed Macaque Wuzhiqi caused chaos in the Huai River. It had the power to overcome nine dragons. Second is the Long-Armed Ape. It was a general of the Yin Shang Dynasty during the Investiture of the Gods period. Based on its battle record, even Erlang Shen was no match for it. It should be no less than the Great Sage. Third is the Six-Eared Macaque. It has not yet been born. It was born with six ears and can hear everything in the Three Realms.

Moreover, each time the Monkey King is born, it is a time of great chaos and calamity; the Great Sage has just finished causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

Hehehe...

When Sun Wukong heard about the origins of the Four Great Monkey Kings, one or two were exceptions, but when he, the third Great Monkey King, was born, it perfectly verified Zhang Xiaoshan's prediction.

The name "混世" (hunshi) is not a good word.

A mischievous devil, a monstrous demon king...

"Little ox-nose, why are you telling me, Old Sun, all this?"

"I, Old Sun, am trapped here. Could you possibly help me break free?"

“Great Sage, you are overthinking it. I have only come to see an old friend.”

When the Great Sage was first born, my incarnation, Chonglou, also known as the Jade Warrior God of War, was in Flower Fruit Mountain, but it was inconvenient for me to meet the Great Sage at that time.

Later, at the request of the gods of heaven, he again intervened and defeated the Great Sage. We could say we became acquainted through this fight.

"Jade Frontier War God?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong was stunned and looked at Zhang Xiaoshan in disbelief.

It should be noted that the Jade Frontier War God was its greatest enemy, but it must be said that the Jade Frontier War God's strength was superior to its own, and its methods and supernatural abilities were extraordinary.

"Are you really the God of War of Jade Empire?"

"To be precise, I am the God of War of Jade Frontier, but the God of War of Jade Frontier is not me."

"This humble path belongs to the Taiqing lineage, cultivating the great supernatural power of 'One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones.' The Jade Frontier War God is one of this humble path's incarnations. The other incarnation, which the Great Sage has also seen, is none other than the Eastern Emperor, who rules the Eastern Heavenly Realm."

Jade Emperor War God? Emperor Donghua?

Only then did Sun Wukong realize that the Taoist priest in front of him was not insignificant at all, but a terrifying big boss.

Thinking of what Zhang Xiaoshan had just said, Sun Wukong suddenly realized that ordinary celestial gods could not possibly know so much information.

"However, Great Sage need not worry. Compared to the other four mischievous monkeys, Great Sage has one advantage—"

The merit of the Five-Colored Divine Stone in mending the sky.

The tribulation you are facing today is a necessary trial for you, just like Wuzhiqi and the Long-Armed Ape in the past, who emerged in a chaotic world and stirred up the heavens and earth. This is the origin of the chaos.

"In the future, a monk will break the seal and release the Great Sage; that will be the Great Sage's only chance of survival..."

"Meritorious deeds to mend the heavens? A glimmer of hope?"

At this point, Sun Wukong naturally dared not disbelieve Zhang Xiaoshan's words; clearly, the previous two mischievous monkeys had not met with good ends.

It has just wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace. If it were to follow the fates of the other two, it would surely be suppressed here forever, which is not what it wants.

A glimmer of hope?

It doesn't want to be suppressed here forever, given even the slightest chance.

"Thank you for your guidance, Immortal Lord!"

Sun Wukong was also clever and understood the key point, so he naturally thanked Zhang Xiaoshan immediately.

"Great Sage, there's no need for thanks."

When you were born, the five-colored divine stone shattered. Besides the Great Sage, something else broke out of the stone and was destined to be with me.

Therefore, since this being and the Great Sage share the same origin, my karmic connection with the Great Sage is also significant.

"From the divine stone where I, Old Sun, was born, something else broke through the stone? What is it?"

Upon hearing this, the monkey's curiosity was immediately piqued.

You should know that it always thought it was just an orphan, but it never expected that there was another being born from the same origin.

"Divine Halberd!"

The divine halberd held by the Jade Frontier War God is a treasure born from the same source as the Great Sage, and it completely counters the Great Sage's indestructible body.

The Heavenly Eight Trigrams Furnace could not kill the Great Sage, nor could the Buddha's palm-sized Buddhist Kingdom contain him. Even the methods of the gods and immortals could not harm him. But the divine halberd, which originated from the same source as the Great Sage, could kill him.

However, because they share the same origin, the one wielding the Divine Halberd 2.0 will inevitably face divine retribution if they kill the Great Sage.

Hiss...

Upon hearing this, the monkey gasped.

Originally treasures from the same source, Sun Wukong felt an added sense of familiarity with them.

At this moment, this is not a sign of kindness, but rather a matter of life and death.

No wonder I felt a vague sense of apprehension towards the Divine Halberd when facing the God of War of Jade Frontier last time; now I understand.

The thought that the God of War of Jade Frontier possessed such a divine halberd yet failed to severely injure him, and Zhang Xiaoshan's subsequent explanation, made it suddenly understand.

Moreover, the strength of the Jade Frontier War God is probably not as simple as he has seen.

Otherwise, the Divine Halberd would be a counter to him, and with the strength of the Jade Frontier War God, it would take ten days and ten nights to fight him.

Moreover, this was with all four clones making a move.

"Great Sage, drink!"

Sun Wukong drank three cups in a row to calm his nerves and digest the information Zhang Xiaoshan had just shared.

Chapter 1030 Six Ears Blocks the Road to Accept Disciples and Passes on the True Teachings

"Six Ears pays respects to the Heavenly Venerable!"

Not long after Fang left Liangjie Mountain, a monkey similar to Sun Wukong, but born with six ears, appeared in front of Zhang Xiaoshan.

However, this Six-Eared Macaque, who could hear the three realms through its six ears, and who had transformed into the Mind Monkey to watch over Sun Wukong, had just overheard Zhang Xiaoshan's conversation with Sun Wukong. It not only learned of its own identity and origins but also realized that the Taoist before it was unfathomable.

One Qi transforms into three Pure Ones: the first is the Eastern Emperor, the second is the God of War of the Jade Frontier.

Although the identity of the third incarnation is unknown, the Six-Eared Macaque is clever and astute, and knows that the third incarnation is definitely not an ordinary being.

Four Mischievous Monkeys?

With just his reputation for being a troublemaker, and having learned from the examples of the previous three, the Six-Eared Macaque knew that his fate would be no better.

If not now, when?

Otherwise, they will truly suffer the same fate as the other three.

"Six-eared macaque?"

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the monkey in front of him, never expecting such a gain.

It should be known that the Four Mischievous Monkeys are all extraordinary, and each of them, once they grow up, will become a first-class powerhouse, the best candidates to protect the three religions.

Unexpectedly, the Six-Eared Macaque came to him on his own initiative. Thinking of the trickery he had just used to talk to Sun Wukong, he immediately realized that the monkey probably knew that he was about to suffer a great calamity and had come to find a backer.

　19 But this suited Zhang Xiaoshan's purposes perfectly. A henchman delivered to his doorstep, and one who was opposed to Sun Wukong, so why not use him?

"The Four Mischievous Monkeys, Born and Raised by Heaven!"

Your true nature is adept at listening, discerning the inner workings, knowing the past and the future, and understanding all things. If not for inescapable calamity, you would surely achieve extraordinary things.

"However, since you have come to me, I will not disappoint you. Follow me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The Six-Eared Macaque was overjoyed upon hearing this, never expecting that Zhang Xiaoshan would actually be willing to help it.

Moreover, it revealed its abilities in a single sentence, clearly indicating that the Four Mischievous Monkeys were all real.

Then the Six-Eared Macaque followed Zhang Xiaoshan to Flower Fruit Mountain. Because of the battle against bandits in Heaven that year, the monkeys in Flower Fruit Mountain suffered heavy losses, with almost all of them dying.

However, it has regained some vitality in recent years and looks much more lively now.

Inside the Water Curtain Cave, when Zhang Xiaoshan brought the Six-Eared Macaque, the monkeys thought Sun Wukong had escaped.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan did not explain, but instead put the Six-Eared Macaque in the position of the Monkey King.

"The Six-Eared Macaque!"

"Six Ears is here!"

Inside the Water Curtain Cave, Six Ears looked at Zhang Xiaoshan and vaguely sensed that Zhang Xiaoshan was making some arrangements, but it had its own judgment and decided to listen to Zhang Xiaoshan's plans first.

"The calamity of the four mischievous monkeys was destined from the start."

Your tribulation is related to Sun Wukong; it is called the Tribulation of the Mind Monkey, and it is also a predetermined fate of Heaven. If you are unprepared and attempt to avert this tribulation, you will surely be eliminated by Sun Wukong as the Mind Monkey.

"Please, Venerable One, save me!"

The Six-Eared Macaque was shocked to hear this, never expecting that he would die at the hands of Sun Wukong.

Mental ape?

Although it didn't know what this so-called Mind Monkey Tribulation was, Zhang Xiaoshan's confident assertion made it uneasy.

"Your skills are comparable to those of Sun Wukong."

The reason you cannot escape this calamity is because of your wishful thinking, arrogance, and conceit. Put these aside, and you may still have a chance to get through it.

However, this is only one aspect.

Furthermore, you must cultivate merit to have even a sliver of hope to avert this calamity.

"Six Ears knows, but how does Six Ears cultivate merit?"

The Six-Eared Macaque looked at Zhang Xiaoshan, and his trust in Zhang Xiaoshan increased significantly.

If it were so easy to break free from the calamity, it wouldn't need to seek help from Zhang Xiaoshan. Even the five-colored divine stone transformed from Sun Wukong, despite its merit in mending the heavens, was still doomed, let alone this thing.

"You are in a calamity, and your mind is like a monkey that cannot be tamed."

However, there is always a glimmer of hope in everything. Do you know my avatar, the Jade Warrior God of War, Chonglou?

"Six ears know."

Chonglou's crushing victory over Sun Wukong is now known throughout the Three Realms.

Moreover, according to Zhang Xiaoshan's words at Wuzhi Mountain, Chonglou also possesses a divine halberd with immense power, which is specifically designed to counter Sun Wukong, and may also be effective against them.

Most importantly, Chonglou could not kill Sun Wukong, but he could kill them with his halberd.

"When the Great Qin unified the six kingdoms, Chonglou and I were the two pillars of the state, extending the empire's reign for three hundred years and bringing three hundred years of prosperity."

Therefore, when Chonglou's merits were complete, he was rewarded by the Queen Mother of the West and stationed in Kunlun as the God of War of the Jade Frontier.

I intend to have you retrace the path of the Jade Frontier War God.

Within the Imperial Academy, my disciples are in charge of the education of the world; you, on the other hand, will be my personal disciple, walking the path of Chonglou in the past, conquering all directions for the empire, and continuing the five hundred years of peace and prosperity in the Eastern Continent.

If you achieve your goal, you will be appointed as the fourth-generation protector of the Xuanmen sect.

Now that a great calamity is engulfing the four continents, Zhang Xiaoshan is unable to take action personally.

Even the God of War of Jade Frontier could only turn the tide and salvage a little dignity for the Heavenly Realm when it was in peril.

As for taking direct action?

If Zhang Xiaoshan gets involved, he will inevitably be targeted and suppressed by the Buddhist sect, and even Laozi will not protect him.

Since that was the case, Zhang Xiaoshan then had the people in the calamity take action.

Since they are already in the midst of a calamity, there is no question of entering the calamity, making them the most suitable person to intervene.

"Disciple Liu Er greets Master!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Er was overjoyed and immediately kowtowed three times and nine times, becoming Zhang Xiaoshan's disciple.

Although Zhang Xiaoshan himself was only a Taiyi, the Six-Eared Macaque knew that Zhang Xiaoshan, who had the Jade Emperor and the Eastern Emperor as his avatars, was not so simple.

In particular, how could the Six-Eared Macaque not know about Zhang Xiaoshan's deeds in the human world?

This person was always plotting, unlike other immortals who cultivate themselves in the deep mountains to attain enlightenment.

However, this is also true. Zhang Xiaoshan's current achievements are incomparable to those Xuanmen disciples who cultivate in seclusion in the deep mountains. He is merely a Jade Frontier War God, yet he is already renowned throughout the Three Realms. 920

"Get up and give me your weapon."

"Yes, Master!"
