Starting from Comprehensive Martial Arts: Bu Dao Lu

Chapter 711 Yuan Hong (11)

Patriarch Bodhi really dislikes the four unruly monkeys.

The six-eared macaque's character improved greatly after he was stranded in the ancient world. After passing the test of Patriarch Bodhi, he was accepted as a disciple by Patriarch Bodhi.

As for the long-armed ape Yuan Hong and the red-butted horse monkey Wuzhiqi, Patriarch Bodhi secretly taught them their magical powers and then disappeared.

Neither of them had even seen Patriarch Bodhi, let alone received his teachings.

The red-butted monkey Wuzhiqi was born with the ability to avoid death and prolong life, so he was extremely respectful of heaven and earth. Therefore, he hid under the Huai Well to avoid his own death. But Yuan Hong had neither the ability to avoid death and prolong life, nor the systematic teaching of a great master, so how could he know these secrets.

Yuan Hong had been hanging around in Meishan since he was born. Although he had received secret teachings from Bodhi Patriarch, he knew very little about the secrets between heaven and earth due to his background. Even though he later became a star king in the heavenly court, he did not rely on the great power of the heavenly court. Therefore, he did not know these secrets.

Emperor Gou Chen said in a deep voice, "The four monkeys of Chaos inherited the legacy of Primordial Chaos, which is a rare great opportunity in the world. Success is also due to chance, and failure is also due to chance. The emergence of Primordial Chaos was not pleasing to the world, so there are many disasters and it is difficult for good results to come out."

Yuan Hong's face suddenly changed when he heard this. It was only then that he suddenly remembered his trip down the mountain. During the Conferred Gods Tribulation, he was determined to go down the mountain to become famous and build a career. The Meishan brothers tried to persuade Yuan Hong to no avail, so they had no choice but to go down the mountain with Yuan Hong for the sake of brotherhood. But who would have thought that they would never come back. Yuan Hong sat in the starry sky for countless years, and the death of the Meishan brothers on the list was his biggest worry.

However, over the years, Yuan Hong had never thought about, nor could he understand why he had insisted on going down the mountain and facing the robbery.

What did Shang Tang have to do with his kingdom? He had no close relationship with the Shang Dynasty. Moreover, when he left the mountain, the Shang Dynasty was already in decline. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Western Zhou Dynasty was unstoppable. But why did he insist on leaving the mountain? Why did he choose to support King Zhou?
Yuan Hong doesn’t know the answer?
There seemed to be no answer to everything, it just happened so naturally!
Yuan Hong's face changed, but Emperor Gou Chen said to himself: "The creatures born from chaos will be targeted by the heaven and earth and calculated by the heaven in all the heavens and worlds. Back then, Liu'er Macaque was just a little demon with some magical powers! Although he was born with extraordinary magical powers, how could his magical powers eavesdrop on the saints' preaching. Moreover, when the Taoist became a saint, the terrifying aura once suppressed the entire prehistoric world. Even if Liu'er Macaque has not felt this terrifying pressure, he should have heard it. But how could Liu'er Macaque have the courage to eavesdrop on the Taoist preaching? Everything is calculated! Haha! The Taoist said, the Tao will not penetrate the six ears, and the six-eared macaque did not know whether he was alive or dead!"

Yuan Hong stared at Emperor Gou Chen in a daze, but Emperor Gou Chen just glanced at him and said to himself: "Wuzhiqi has been practicing in Huaishui since he was born, and has never caused any cause and effect. If he hadn't used Emperor Dayu to seal himself, haha! Do you think Wuzhiqi would have come down the mountain during the Conferred God Tribulation?"

Emperor Gou Chen’s question made Yuan Hong shudder all over!
It was the Way of Heaven! It was definitely the Way of Heaven that was plotting against me back then!

Yuan Hong shouted frantically in his heart.

Back then, if he had wanted to enjoy wealth and honor in the Shang Dynasty, he would have come down the mountain and shown off long ago. Why would he wait until the great catastrophe of the Conferred Gods to come down the mountain, or why would he wait until the Shang Dynasty showed signs of decline to come down the mountain?

After saying this, Emperor Gou Chen looked at Yuan Hong, whose eyes were red, and said, "Do you know why Wuzhiqi can now roam freely between heaven and earth, without fear of being rejected by heaven and earth, and without fear of the calculations of heaven?"

Yuan Hong suppressed his panic, thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I thought the general was protected by your Majesty and blessed with good fortune, so he was not afraid of being rejected by heaven and earth, nor was he afraid of being plotted against by Heaven?" Emperor Gou Chen shook his head and said, "Yes and no! Although the good fortune of Heaven can protect Wuzhiqi a little. However, the four monkeys of chaos originated from the Chaos Demon Ape, and the Chaos Demon God is extraordinary. If Wuzhiqi wants to protect himself from being plotted against by Heaven, his good fortune is not enough. The reason why Wuzhiqi is not in trouble is because I have extracted 90% of his Red-butted Horse Monkey essence."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hong trembled and almost collapsed to the ground!
One is the Emperor Gou Chen, and the other is the General of the Imperial Palace Gou Chen. How could he listen to the secrets of these two people?

Emperor Gou Chen ignored Yuan Hong's reaction and continued, "The four Chaos Monkeys are from the same source. The greatest opportunity is for the four origins to return to their origins and merge into one to forge the body of the Chaos Demon Ape." As he spoke, Emperor Gou Chen smiled at Yuan Hong and said, "Back then, you also thought about forging the body of the Chaos Demon God, right?"

Yuan Hong smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I did have this delusion back then."

Emperor Gou Chen shook his head and said, "The evolution of living things and the transition of life are the ultimate pursuits of every living being. Not to mention you, even Wuzhiqi has thought about forging the body of the Chaos Demon Ape. So, this is not a delusion."

Yuan Hong just had a bitter look on his face and didn't know how to respond.

Emperor Gou Chen then said: "If you enter the Gou Chen Palace, I want your nine origins."

Yuan Hong said in confusion: "Your Majesty, my body of the ape was lost in the map of mountains, rivers and states of Nuwa during the Conferred God Tribulation. Therefore, my soul was listed as one of the four useless star kings. My origin now is the star god origin condensed in the starry sky, which is not suitable for your use at all."

Emperor Gou Chen nodded and said, "What I want is the origin of the Tongbi Ape. I have also heard about the Conferred God Tribulation. I am not talking to you today to ask for your origin right away. Rather, in the future, if I can find the origin of the Tongbi Ape from Lady Nuwa, I want nine parts of it."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hong was not angry, but overjoyed. He immediately kowtowed to Emperor Gou Chen and said, "I am willing! Heaven is above. I, Yuan Hong, the Fourth Abandoned Star Lord, swear to Heaven that I will give 90% of my body as a monkey to Emperor Gou Chen. If I break this oath, I will turn into ashes."

The origin of the Tonggi Ape lies with Nuwa, and Yuan Hong has no way of finding it.

Previously, Yuan Hong had thought that if Emperor Gou Chen could find the origin of the Tongbi Ape in the future and give him some of it, so that he could rebuild his Taoist body and seek the Tao again, he would be very grateful. Unexpectedly, Emperor Gou Chen directly left him a portion of the origin, which made Yuan Hong very happy.

Yuan Hong suddenly swore to the Heaven, which shocked Emperor Gou Chen.

However, Emperor Gou Chen understood Yuan Hong's idea in an instant! Yuan Hong was different from Wuzhiqi. Wuzhiqi's nine-source origin was originally his own. Although the origin of Tongbi Yuanhou belonged to Yuan Hong in name, if Yuan Hong couldn't get the origin, everything would be zero. Therefore, Yuan Hong made the Heavenly Oath so quickly to make this deal with Emperor Gou Chen. Moreover, in Yuan Hong's view, getting back one-source origin was better than getting nothing!
Emperor Gou Chen chuckled and didn't care about Yuan Hong's little thoughts. For him, the nine essences of Tongbi Ape were enough for him to use, and any more would be a waste.
