Without hesitation, the Six-Eared Macaque handed over his trusty iron rod to Zhang Xiaoshan.
Upon handling it, Zhang Xiaoshan's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected that the Sui Xin Iron Rod Soldier was actually a primordial spiritual treasure, and like the Pure Yang Sword, it contained twenty-seven primordial restrictions.
If one can condense the twenty-eighth restriction, it will be a superior-grade innate spiritual treasure.
No wonder the Six-Eared Macaque's staff could rival the Monkey King's Ruyi Jingu Bang (magic needle) without being at a disadvantage.
It should be noted that although the Ruyi Divine Needle Iron is not of the Innate Realm, it is still a top-level divine artifact forged in the Eight Trigrams Furnace, and it also has the merit of Yu the Great measuring the water level of the world.
"You have a good opportunity with a primordial spiritual treasure."
Although the monkey's Ruyi Divine Needle Iron is a meritorious artifact, in terms of value, your weapon is superior. Today, I will use the merit accumulated over these three hundred years to condense the twenty-eighth restriction on this divine weapon, allowing it to be upgraded to a superior-grade innate spiritual treasure.
Remember, never display this innate spiritual treasure in front of others, otherwise even a Great Luo Venerable would try to snatch it.
"Disciples please obey Master's teachings."
The Six-Eared Macaque is able to perceive the three realms, so he naturally knows what innate spiritual treasures are.
Even though it knew the value of innate spiritual treasures, it still underestimated their worth. It never expected that even a Great Luo Venerable would set aside his pride to snatch a simple Iron Staff.
Chapter 131 The Path of the Six Ears
"Consecrate 100 billion merits to strengthen the spiritual treasure!"
Zhang Xiaoshan has spared no expense this time, donating a hundred billion merits to help the Six-Eared Macaque seize that sliver of hope for survival.
The magical treasures with twenty-seven and twenty-eight layers of restrictions may seem to differ by only one layer, but their power is worlds apart. From now on, the Six-Eared Macaque, relying on his Will-Fulfilling Iron Staff, can surpass Sun Wukong.
A top-grade innate spiritual treasure; this is a Great Luo spiritual treasure.
Since Zhang Xiaoshan had taken the Six-Eared Macaque as his disciple, he naturally couldn't let him perish in the great calamity.
More importantly, Zhang Xiaoshan has no jurisdiction over the Southern Continent.
However, in the chaotic world of Dongsheng Shenzhou, Zhang Xiaoshan could use the Six-Eared Macaque to suppress the chaos for five hundred years, preventing Dongsheng Shenzhou from being schemed against by Buddhism and suffering from constant natural and man-made disasters.
After all, during the Little Ice Age, as long as domestic affairs and borders were stabilized, there would be no major chaos.
A dazzling golden light filled the entire Flower and Fruit Mountain.
Even under the bright sunlight during the day, it still radiates a golden light, with countless points of brilliance, clearly a sign that a treasure has been born.
However, the golden light appeared quickly and disappeared just as quickly.
Before anyone could even realize what the golden light was, it had already vanished from the gods' sight.
As the Six-Eared Macaque looked at the completely renovated Ironclad Soldier before him, he felt a sense of greater weight and brilliance, even though the Ironclad Soldier was exactly the same as before.
"Previously, this spiritual treasure with its twenty-seven restrictions could only be considered a mid-grade item;
Now, I have spent three hundred years accumulating merit to condense the twenty-eighth innate prohibition, thus entering the ranks of the superior, and its power has undergone a qualitative change.
Innate spiritual treasures, especially high-grade innate spiritual treasures.
Even the lowest level of the twenty-eight prohibitions is enough to cause bloodshed in the Three Realms, and the masters who fight for it are all Great Luo Venerables.
Therefore, this treasure should not be used lightly unless absolutely necessary.
"When your time of tribulation comes, perhaps I can save your life."
"Disciple, thank you Master!"
Although the difference between a top-grade innate spiritual treasure and a single level of restriction is only one, the Six-Eared Macaque was still clear about the gap between them.
The price of this prohibition alone was the cost of Zhang Xiaoshan's three hundred years of arduous cultivation in the mortal realm. The dazzling golden light just now was absolutely genuine, and even the Six-Eared Macaque understood that this was a significant investment.
Most importantly, this was a life-saving treasure during a calamity.
"Furthermore, although you have entered the Xuanmen sect, you do not necessarily have to cultivate Xuangong (mystical arts)."
"I have a Nine Revolutions Demon God Technique here, an unparalleled demon technique from the ancient Heavenly Court, more suitable for you than the Xuanmen Protectorate Divine Art."
Immediately, Zhang Xiaoshan touched the Six-Eared Macaque's forehead and transmitted all the supreme immortal techniques, such as the Taiqing Immortal Technique and the Nine Revolutions Demon God Technique, to the Six-Eared Macaque.
The Six-Eared Macaque is a demon, even though the Xuanmen (Taoist sect) teaches without discrimination.
However, compared to masters of profound arts, Zhang Xiaoshan preferred to have the Six-Eared Macaque cultivate the Nine Revolutions Demon God Technique.
The Nine Revolutions Profound Technique has very few practitioners, and only a handful have reached the sixth or seventh revolution.
However, the ancient demon race had 365 Great Luo Demon Lords, ten Demon Gods, and several Demon Emperors, whose strength was unfathomable.
After some thought, Zhang Xiaoshan felt that the Nine Revolutions Demon God Technique was more suitable for the Six-Eared Macaque.
"The Supreme Purity Immortal Technique?"
The Six-Eared Macaque sorted through the transmitted techniques, and apart from the Nine Revolutions Demon God Technique, the Supreme Purity Immortal Technique was the most eye-catching.
This is the orthodox method of the Xuanmen!
"Is Master from the Taiqing lineage?"
"That's right, I am the second-generation direct descendant of the Taiqing lineage."
"Six Ears, now that you have joined my sect, I do not expect you to have any great merits or a heart to save the world, but at the very least, you must not bring disaster to the Three Realms or act perversely."
"Your disciple will remember your teachings!"
The Six-Eared Macaque was startled upon hearing this, never expecting Zhang Xiaoshan to have such a distinguished background.
Among the Three Pure Ones and Four Emperors, the Three Pure Ones are even above the Great Heavenly Venerable.
Moreover, Laozi may not have many other treasures, but the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir is a supreme treasure renowned throughout the Three Realms. With the blessing of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, his cultivation would undoubtedly advance by leaps and bounds.
But thinking of Sun Wukong's sins, the Six-Eared Macaque couldn't help but sigh.
However, the Six-Eared Macaque kept Zhang Xiaoshan's warning in mind.
After all, as a direct disciple of the Xuanmen sect, he naturally cannot do anything that would disgrace the sect; at least for now, he is a positive figure.
"I will give you thirty-six years to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Demon God Technique and the Supreme Purity Immortal Technique."
Thirty-six years later, you may go to the Xuanzhen Temple. Your master will arrange for you to enter the world to cultivate, and you will enter the Dao through warfare, becoming a protector of the Xuanmen.
"Yes, Master!"
Compared to times of peace and prosperity, it is easier to accumulate merit in times of chaos.
However, the result of such merit would be bloody corpses, so Zhang Xiaoshan has always maintained a peaceful and prosperous environment for accumulating merit.
Those who possess profound merit must first have a compassionate heart.
Although Zhang Xiaoshan came for merit, he still cared about the common people, accumulated virtue and did good deeds to stabilize the country.
Therefore, if he could earn a thousand dollars steadily, he would never risk his life to earn ten thousand dollars.
High income is predicated on the bloody corpses that pave the way.
One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand!
Zhang Xiaoshan wasn't unaware of the benefits that huge profits could bring, but the cost of such unscrupulous means would completely cloud his judgment.
Three days later, Zhang Xiaoshan left Huaguo Mountain, leaving behind a gourd of golden pills for the Six-Eared Macaque.
Meanwhile, the Six-Eared Macaque was in quite a bit of trouble.
Because of its golden radiance, it illuminates the three realms.
Soon, many demons came to Flower Fruit Mountain to search for treasure. For this reason, the Six-Eared Macaque had to step forward, because all the living beings of Flower Fruit Mountain had to sacrifice themselves.
And its appearance, strength, and staff are similar to those of Sun Wukong...
This greatly alarmed all the demons and immortals of the Three Realms.
After the Six-Eared Macaque forcefully repelled several waves of provocative demons, news of Sun Wukong escaping Heaven's punishment and returning to Flower Fruit Mountain spread rapidly throughout the Four Continents.
In an instant, all the demons and monsters in the three realms were shaken.
Although Sun Wukong was defeated by the Jade Emperor, his previous victory over 100,000 heavenly soldiers was a genuine achievement.
The fact that the monkey was able to escape the clutches of the heavenly gods shows that its methods were even more formidable than they had imagined.
The Buddhas of the West and the gods of the heavens first looked at the invincible monkey on Flower Fruit Mountain, and then at Sun Wukong under the Five Elements Mountain who ate iron pellets and drank molten copper. They were puzzled as to why there were two monkeys in the world, and that their abilities and supernatural powers were almost identical.
As the Six-Eared Macaque's fame grew, more and more demon kings flocked to Flower Fruit Mountain.
The seventy-two demon kings of Huaguo Mountain—the Mischievous Demon King, the Black Fox Demon King, the Poison Dragon Demon King…—among them, the Crimson Tiger Demon King and the Three-Headed Demon Dragon, whose strength is not much less than that of the Six-Eared Macaque.
Therefore, Huaguo Mountain's reputation in the demon world not only grew stronger, but its power also became increasingly vast, almost covering the entire area of Aolai Kingdom.
Even the Six-Eared Macaque replaced Sun Wukong as the Monkey King, becoming one of the seven great demon kings famous throughout the Three Realms.
This powerful momentum was also orchestrated by Zhang Xiaoshan at the behest of the Six-Eared Macaque.
The goal was to control the Bull Demon King and the other six demon kings, and unite them to unify the demon realm, or at least establish a stable order within it.
To this end, Zhang Xiaoshan also dispatched two demon generals, Chi Mo and Mo Kun, to assist the Six-Eared Macaque.
Chapter 132 Schemes of All Parties: The Ten Demon Kings
"Master, a group of demons from Flower Fruit Mountain have wreaked havoc across tens of thousands of miles of Aolai Kingdom. No wonder we really don't care?"
At the foot of Mount Li, inside the Xuanzhen Temple.
Xuanzhen Temple, as the Demon Suppression Division of Dongsheng Shenzhou, has always taken it upon itself to subdue demons and eliminate monsters.
With the demons from the East gathering at Flower Fruit Mountain, and the seventy-two demon kings resounding throughout the four continents, even joining forces with the other six major demons to unify the demon realm, how could Xuanzhen Temple not have heard the news?
While the disciples of Xuanzhen Temple were eager to try their skills, the young sword master remained expressionless and completely ignored them.
Not to mention the disciples of Xuanzhen Temple, the strongest among them was only at the Heavenly Immortal realm.
Even if ten thousand swords were unleashed simultaneously, in the eyes of a true demon king, it would be nothing more than a tickle.
Over the past four hundred years, Xuanzhen Temple has had more than ten thousand disciples, including more than a dozen elders at the Celestial Immortal level, making it undoubtedly the number one sword sect in the human world.
But it's still not enough to contend with those demon kings and demon saints.
The seven demon kings, in particular, have cultivated for thousands of years, and their supernatural abilities are among the best in the Three Realms.
"I have my own plans for the demons and monsters of Flower Fruit Mountain."
Your cultivation is only at the Golden Core stage of the Xuanmen, and you haven't even survived the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. How can you talk about subduing a group of demon kings?
You should know that even 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals could not subdue the Monkey King. Do you think that having ten thousand swords drawn together is stronger than 100,000 heavenly soldiers?
Moreover, there was more than one demon king on Flower Fruit Mountain at that time.
"Each of the seventy-two demon kings is exceptionally powerful, at least equivalent to a human celestial immortal. Even if you, the dozen or so elders, were to attack together, you wouldn't stand a chance against the last few demon kings. Are you going to waste your lives?"
The disciples of Xuanzhen Temple have no master-disciple relationship with the young sword master.
It wasn't that Zhang Xiaoshan looked down on these Xuanmen disciples, but rather that they lacked a master-disciple bond. No matter how talented they were, the young sword master would never accept them as disciples.
"Master, are we just going to sit idly by and watch these demons wreak havoc on the land?"
"Rest assured, many of these demon kings are subordinates of Chonglou, the God of War of Jade Frontier."
The Monkey King is the successor chosen by the God of War Chonglou, who will replace him to guard the Eastern Continent and maintain the stability of the human race; while gathering demons at Flower Fruit Mountain is for centralized management to prevent these demons from harming the continent.
Moreover, with these demon kings gathered at Flower Fruit Mountain, the lesser demons and monsters from all over the land will no longer pose a threat to you.”
Hiss...
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged shocked glances.
Was this the work of the God of War, Chonglou?
You should know that in the past, they looked down on the God of War of the Empire because of their status as sword cultivators.
Unexpectedly, Chonglou achieved perfect merit and became the God of War of the Jade Realm. In his first battle, he made a name for himself in the Three Realms and defeated Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, who was rampaging through the Heavenly Realm.
Considering that Chonglou could defeat the 'Monkey King', perhaps he could really be recruited for his own use. In that case, this plan would be a complete disaster.
"Why did the God of War choose a demon as his successor?"
"What do you say?"
The young swordsman glanced at the unwilling crowd, then closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.
After learning the truth, the crowd stopped making a fuss.
Back then, the two pillars of the empire, the God of War Chonglou, was definitely a person that the human race could trust. Naturally, the successors chosen by Chonglou, even if they did not trust the demon race, had to trust Chonglou.
