Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start.

Chapter 425 The Stone Monkey Unwilling to Accept His Predestined Fate

As far as the eye could see, there was a huge stone cave, inside which were stone tables, stone benches, stone pots, stone bowls, and a huge stone throne.

On either side of the cave entrance stands a large stone with the inscription "Blessed Land of Flower and Fruit Mountain, Heavenly Cave of Water Curtain Cave."

The stone monkey cautiously observed everything in the cave. Suddenly, golden light shone in its eyes as it scanned everything in the cave.

A pair of golden eyes is the stone monkey's innate divine power, the Eyes of Illusion. They can pierce through the heavens above and peer into the netherworld below. With a single movement of the eyes, one can discern the essence of all things. It is a complete version of the supreme innate divine power, possessed only by a few innate beings throughout the vast Three Realms.

As for the Fiery Eyes, it is a damaged version of the Eyes of Truth that was refined to perfection. It has destroyed most of the power of the complete Eyes of Truth, leaving only the useless function of seeing through the true nature of demons and monsters.

At this moment, the Stone Monkey fully activated its Golden Eyes of Truth, scanning the entire Water Curtain Cave inch by inch. It did not find anything suspicious, but when the Golden Eyes swept over the stone throne, the Stone Monkey's body trembled violently.

In his gaze, a golden seed suddenly rose from the throne and lunged at him.

The stone monkey hurriedly dodged, but it was too late. The golden particles had already entered his body almost instantly!

Within the stone monkey's mind, silently, a crimson flame rose, a wisp of heart fire left behind by Zhao Gongming, an eternal and inextinguishable flame.

The inner fire floated in the stone monkey's mind, burning quietly, with a subtle attraction spreading from the inside out.

The stone monkey had just become engrossed in the moment when it was pulled directly into the Heart Fire Space by that gravitational force.

The moment it was dragged in, the flames in my heart flickered and suddenly expanded in size!

From the inside out, from top to bottom, completely envelop the stone monkey!

The Heart Fire, also known as the Eternal Fire, suddenly forced out the Bodhi Seed hidden deep within the Stone Monkey's body!

Bodhi Seed seemed to sense a threat, and his whole body burst with Brahma light, trying to escape!

But before he could act, he was consumed by inner turmoil!

"Sizzle!"

The fire of the heart burned and consumed everything. In just one or two breaths, the Bodhi seed was reduced to ashes!

With a gust of wind, it vanished without a trace!

The Bodhi seed was burned by the fire in his heart, and the stone monkey felt an unprecedented sense of lightness all over his body, as if he were soaking in amniotic fluid!

Those years of accumulated goodwill toward the West vanished in an instant.

Within the world of inner fire, the will of the stone monkey emerges.

Wherever your gaze falls, there is a sea of ​​flames, shimmering with light!

Countless flames, burning like streaks of light, began to move rapidly as the stone monkey's will descended!

One scene after another gradually unfolded before the stone monkey!

It is unknown how much time passed before the scene in front of the stone monkey finally ended.

The story depicted in the video is simple: a naturally born, unruly, divine monkey.

Even before he was born, he was targeted by countless gods and Buddhas.

Through a series of schemes, the fate of the monkey god was arranged even before he was born.

After the birth of the divine monkey, it was used as a pawn by all the gods and Buddhas, manipulated at will, and eventually became a pawn and a henchman in their hands.

The final image freezes on the monkey god.

The Monkey King of that time was very different from the Monkey King of the beginning!

The newborn monkey wears a grass coat and eats wild fruits, yet its eyes are full of vitality, hope, and energy!

The last monkey in the scene sits on a lotus platform, dressed in magnificent clothes. His face is no longer clear, but his eyes have become a stagnant pool, lifeless and calm like an abyss.

After watching the scene, the stone monkey felt sorrow for the divine monkey!

The magnificent monkey, whose birth was earth-shattering, was regarded as a pawn by the gods and Buddhas, toyed with and manipulated. How tragic was his fate.

But soon, the stone monkey's gaze became vacant, and he involuntarily shivered.

The divine monkey, along with countless immortals and Buddhas, is manipulated with ease.

Could he be that divine monkey?

The stone monkey's eyes widened in terror, and the hairs on its body stood on end!

Old white monkey, big gray monkey, Water Curtain Cave, Monkey King!

Everything fits together!

The stone monkey was filled with uncontrollable fear. In the scene, the fate of the divine monkey was beyond doubt. He became a puppet manipulated by everyone, with only death in his eyes and no more life!

Is this also his fate?

The stone monkey involuntarily clenched his fists!

He must take control of his own destiny. No matter if there are gods or Buddhas in the heavens or anyone else, none of them have the right to control his destiny!

After calming himself down and carefully inspecting the Water Curtain Cave, the stone monkey, finding nothing unusual, quietly slipped out under the cover of night!

The next morning, a red sun rose from the east, and all things began to flourish with vitality.

The stone monkey got up as usual, searched for wild fruits, and drank spring water, showing no sign of anything unusual!

The stone monkey knew that although the old white monkey had left, he was very likely still under the watchful eyes of all the gods and Buddhas.

Because sometimes, that lingering, voyeuristic feeling will reappear.

If anything unusual is observed, unspeakable horror may befall you.

In the blink of an eye, several more years passed. During these years, the stone monkey did not waste his time, but instead prepared to set sail and seek immortality.

He could not possibly fight against all the immortals and Buddhas in the world by himself. He needed to seek the Dao, ask for help from wise men, and take control of his own destiny.

In recent years, the stone monkey inquired with several old monkeys who had lived for one or two hundred years and had even left Flower Fruit Mountain to venture out into the world.

These old monkeys all say that the East is a land of outstanding people and abundant resources, where immortals cultivate in seclusion.

After careful consideration, the stone monkey decided to head east in search of immortals and the Dao.

Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the dead of night, the stone monkey suddenly opened its eyes and glanced at the heavens. The sense of being watched from the shadows was still there.

The stone monkey quickly got up and, taking advantage of the darkness, went to the easternmost corner of Flower Fruit Mountain.

This is a huge wooden boat, made of thick logs, very sturdy. It was built by the old monkeys who taught the stone monkey how to build it.

The wooden boat was laden with food such as honey, peaches, and water. The stone monkey had even made a wooden fork to use for fishing.

Once everything was ready, the stone monkey pushed the wooden boat into the water, jumped onto it, and rowed away under the cover of darkness. The wooden boat quietly drifted eastward!

The great calamity of the evolution of the Heavenly Dao will help the West prosper, but naturally it will take time.

According to the established timeline, the stone monkey would not set sail until several hundred years later. However, now that the stone monkey possesses the inner fire and has awakened to his true self, he has set sail several hundred years ahead of schedule, causing chaos in the great calamity!

Outside of Flower Fruit Mountain, although hindered by the Six Ears, the Buddhist sect no longer sends people to Flower Fruit Mountain to lure the stone monkey.

But the stone monkey was, after all, a calamity for Buddhism, and a crucial step in the prosperity of Buddhism.

Zhunti and Jieyin still dispatched two Bodhisattvas of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level to personally station outside Flower Fruit Mountain to guard the stone monkey and report immediately if there was any unusual movement!
