Chapter 175 Are you that person?
A complex expression crossed the stone monkey's face!
When he passed on his skills to Li Lan, it was purely to settle a karmic debt. At the same time, he also had a thought: he was the last member of the Stone Clan, and even if no one else could master the Stone Clan's techniques and arts, it would be good to pass them on.
But he never expected that there would actually be someone in this world who could achieve it.
"Just lucky."
Li Lan smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for the Dharma."
"I suddenly realized that my people wanted to seal me away for this lifetime."
The stone monkey was very direct, staring at Li Lan and saying, "Because of you!"
"Throughout history, apart from our Stone People race, only one person has ever mastered the art of mending the heavens. And that person, along with a cat and a dog, suppressed the source for hundreds of thousands of years, allowing civilizations around the world to thrive."
"You're the second one."
"Are you that person, or yourself?"
Two golden lights seemed to appear in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through Li Lan's origins and trajectory!
His abrupt question startled Li Lan.
Am I that person, or am I myself?
This should have been a question that didn't require any thought; Li Lan was, of course, himself.
But the monkey's words made him a little uneasy.
His achievements today are due not only to his cautious personality, but most importantly to his panel.
With the control panel, he could master any martial arts technique in the world.
But where did this panel come from?
Could it be related to that legendary person?
He thought to himself that ever since the beginning of Dali, his fate seemed to have been unusual. He had inexplicably married Lin Ruoxue, who was backed by the Feather King.
Then I met Mingzun, and I met a cat!
If it weren't for the Mingzun and the cat, would he be where he is today in the Immortal Realm?
Now, it seems he's being guided by fate, learning more and more about that person's deeds...
Is all of this happening naturally, or is it guided by some mechanism?
"Cause and effect are confused and cannot be discerned."
As he pondered, the monkey shook his head, the golden light in his eyes fading, and said, "My name is Sun Wukong. And you? Are you the one who fights the aliens?"
"Her real name is Li Lan."
Li Lan responded, and then asked in surprise, "Your name..."
"I was born with this name."
Sun Wukong said, "These three words were carved on the stone where I was born, and a five-colored iron rod was also left behind. Therefore, I was born with this name and this weapon!"
He swung the iron bar in his hand.
Li Lan was even more surprised.
The name Sun Wukong, coupled with the existence of something resembling the Golden Cudgel... made him wonder, what was the origin of the person who carved these three words?
Do you also know about Journey to the West?
"Regardless of your relationship with that person, since you have mastered the Heaven-Mending Technique, you are of the same kind as me. I am definitely older than you, so you can call me Brother Monkey."
Sun Wukong spoke directly.
Monkey King...
They look more and more alike!
Wait, that's not right. If I call him Monkey King, then I'll become like Sha Wujing or Zhu Bajie...
A fleeting thought crossed Li Lan's mind, and he couldn't help but smile, asking, "Brother Monkey, why have you come here?"
"Are you familiar with the rites of sainthood for our Stone People race?"
"That's what the monkey said."
Li Lan shook her head.
"From the very first day of our birth, the Stone People have been destined to protect the human world. This is because the human world was created by our mother, and all humans are her children. Humans are the Stone People's little brothers."
The monkey calmly spoke: "Throughout history, too many forbidden ancient races have slaughtered the human race. Therefore, our race has an ancient precept: after becoming a saint, one must hunt down saints of other races to protect Mother Earth!"
"The Primordial Demon Ape clan has always been bloodthirsty. I am about to become a saint, and I intend to first destroy one of their saints as a sacrifice to my Dao!"
With a seemingly casual touch, it exudes unparalleled domineering power.
Li Lan couldn't help but sigh, "The monkey is indeed a monkey; he lives up to his name and his iron rod."
Even with only the quasi-saint level of his status, he possessed the courage and ambition to annihilate the immortal saints of the ancient demon ape clan.
At the same time, Li Lan felt heavy-hearted and choked with emotion.
He understood why the Stonefolk treated and protected the humans so well.
Because the Stone People were originally a human race, created by the goddess whom the monkeys called "Mother." But they were all transformed into colorful stones to mend the leak in the sky...
In the eyes of the Stone People, they were the first to be created by "Mother," and thus the eldest brother, and therefore bore the mission and task of protecting their younger brother, the Human Race.
Over the millennia, the human race has multiplied and flourished, numbering in the hundreds of millions, while the Stone Clan, this unknown "eldest brother," is reduced to its last remaining member...
They all died in battle!
Even so, the last stone monkey still held onto the ancient precepts and was determined to fight the ancient demonic ape clan that had harmed the human race to the death!
Li Lan felt a slight pang of pain in her heart, then spoke calmly:
"But the return of the Primordial Demon Ape clan could not possibly be limited to just one Saint."
"You'll be facing a gang fight, not a one-on-one battle."
"I have a treasure called the Vajra Bracelet, which can capture a celestial being in a moment of surprise and then leave."
This is the monkey's idea.
Li Lan shook his head: "It's still dangerous. The Primordial Demon Ape clan must have Immortal Saints and Great Saints. Once they make a move to capture you, you may not be able to escape!"
"I'll help you!"
His words were resolute.
The monkey shook its head: "No, you can't stay here. You have too much karma on your shoulders. You must survive. I can't let you take risks."
Li Lan smiled and said, "We are of the same clan. Is it reasonable for someone of the same clan to see their own people in danger and then flee alone?"
The monkey remained hesitant and asked, "What's your idea?"
Li Lan pointed to the arena and said, "Using their own methods against them, the Primordial Demon Ape clan has set up such a ferocious killing array in the Demon Abyss. Wouldn't it be a great pity not to make use of it?"
The monkey's eyes lit up: "You can manipulate this great formation?"
……
Li Lan sat up cross-legged. He wanted to change the layout of the entire formation, but his current Earth Eye was still not enough!
He was determined to go further.
The massive amount of Immortal Source Points consumed were all poured into the Great Dao True Eye Technique.
At this moment, Li Lan was completely absorbed in the moment; his eyes seemed to detach from his body and enter an endless, illusory universe.
He saw the first wisp of chaotic mist born in the endless darkness.
He saw a chaotic mist spreading, and from nothingness to something, a singularity seemed to appear, which then suddenly exploded...
And then, a universe was formed from that very beginning!
Dust gathers, transforms into stars, bestows upon them light, and starlight shines brilliantly...
As time flows by, stars are born and die, the sun shines and fades, and eventually everything decays. All the principles in the universe burn up, like a fleeting dream of fireworks!
He witnessed the birth and death of a universe!
He saw the propagation and ultimate destination of the Great Dao.
We also witnessed the formation and transformation of rules...
Suddenly, Li Lan opened his eyes.
His eyes seemed to project a tangible gaze.
Bang bang bang!
Within the Abyss of Demons, explosions resounded across the land, their power astonishing!
"Your Fiery Eyes are no less powerful than mine. I'm afraid even a Mystic Immortal would be killed by your gaze. What kind of eye technique is this?"
The monkey, who had been guarding him the whole time, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Li Lan slightly restrained himself, but found that he had lost control just now and actually felt a sense of emptiness, as if all the immortal power in his body had been exhausted!
He was also shocked, for his immortal power far surpassed that of ordinary immortals, and he was constantly replenished by the Heaven-Mending Technique.
But now, it's already exhausted after just one eye surgery!
"His level of understanding is too low, but his eyesight is too strong."
Li Lan couldn't help but feel conflicted.
This means that even though he has already reached the "Heavenly Eye" realm, he cannot use it at will.
Yes, he has already pushed the Great Dao True Eye Technique to the Heavenly Eye realm.
Just one realm away from mastering the "True Eye of the Great Dao" like a cat.
"Holy crap?!"
However, Li Lan immediately felt a pang of heartache...
He absorbed 1.3 to 1.4 million catties of immortal essence in the Nine-Headed Forbidden Mountain, but now it seems that only about 200,000 catties of immortal essence remain.
Depend on!
From the Earth's Eye to the Heavenly Eye, it consumes a million catties of Immortal Essence? That's outrageous!
From the Heavenly Eye to the True Eye of the Great Dao, how much is needed? Probably at least the entire Nine-Headed Forbidden Mountain!
The higher the cultivation level, the more energy is consumed, which increases exponentially.
The joy of breaking through to the Heavenly Eye realm was overshadowed by the intense consumption of Immortal Source.
"Having cultivated such eye techniques, why are you so sullen?"
The monkey was puzzled.
"Probably because they're poor."
Li Lan said, "Brother Monkey, follow me to set up the formation!"
Li Lan didn't think any further. He got up and looked at the entire Demon Abyss, his spirits slightly lifted.
Because at this moment, he slightly activated his Heavenly Eye, without using any attack methods, and had already seen the entire formation in great detail.
He even saw the entire trajectory of the Primordial Demon Ape Earth Vein Mine.
If an array is set up as an aid, Li Lan's absorption of immortal energy will be even faster, and he will surely be able to replenish the huge amount of immortal energy he lost.
"Primordial Demon Apes, you owe me a million catties of immortal essence, and you must repay it double!"
Li Lan's gaze was chilling!
At that moment, a group of people suddenly surrounded them and knelt down before Li Lan and the monkey.
"Please help us!"
"Great power of the Stone Clan, would you consider taking us as your servants?"
"Take us away! We'll serve you faithfully!"
They all looked at Li Lan and the monkey with longing, their eyes filled with intense anticipation.
The monkey's expression was indifferent. The Stone People were naturally affectionate towards humans, regarding them as brothers to be protected, but he also hated these scum among humans.
Li Lan smiled and said, "Really? At your beck and call? You'll do whatever I tell you to do?"
The group nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
"Fine... then I'll send you all to your deaths, all of you, commit suicide!"
Li Lan said.
Upon hearing this, the group of people immediately turned pale.
"Such hypocrisy and cunning, devoid of any human dignity or self-reliance, does he even deserve to live in this world?"
Li Lan's gaze suddenly turned cold, and then the Heavenly King Pagoda in his hand swept across the area!
"what………"
"No!"
"Spare me..."
Those who scrambled to become slaves to the Primordial Demon Ape Clan were all annihilated, their souls and bones completely destroyed.
The Primordial Demon Ape Clan didn't kill them, but Li Lan came to kill them!
……
Celestial Court.
"Senior brother, the Primordial Demon Ape will arrive in five days."
The Phoenix Seeker has arrived.
Xun Yuan Tianjun nodded: "This time, we can't afford any more mishaps... My idea is to cancel the Peach Banquet and have several human forces sign an alliance with this race, and then let them announce it themselves!"
He had been thinking about it for a long time.
Since there's a dark force interfering and preventing him from manipulating people's hearts, then he'll let people's hearts weigh things for themselves!
The Primordial Demon Ape Clan and some human forces openly formed an alliance and embarked on a path of alienation, while the Celestial Court, though secretly supporting them, publicly remained neutral.
He believed that with the world in a state of panic, if a few tribes did this, other forces would inevitably follow suit; that was human nature!
"You can make me look bad, but can you stop the people of this world from clinging to life? I have a heart as my weapon, how can you fight me?"
Xun Yuan Tianjun sneered, seemingly looking at a distant opponent.
He has seen through human nature, and this time, he has resorted to: the desire to live.
