"I didn't expect that Monkey King's speed would be so fast. I just left the Immortal Realm and came to the mortal world to cause trouble, and he's right behind me, courting death, daring to provoke the people I sent?"
"Does that Monkey King think I'm a paper tiger just because I don't show my power?"
"The previous few times could be tolerated, but this time is different. It concerns the household disciple I sent, and Qingfeng, the Rose Dragon King whom I incited."
"I absolutely cannot tolerate this any longer!"
With this thought, the New Six-Eared Macaque did not dare to delay and was about to return to the Immortal Realm.
Before that, the most basic deployment was still necessary.
The second Journey to the West in the mortal world is different from the true Journey to the West in the Immortal Realm.
The latter was initiated by Sun Kong in advance, starting from the capital city of the Great Tang Empire, Chang'an, and gradually proceeding to the Spirit Mountain Great Thunderclap Temple in the West, all for the promotion of Buddhism.
But this one in the mortal world is different.
There are two main points.
Firstly, this second Journey to the West has not been recognized by the Heavenly Dao, nor does it have the ninety-nine eighty-one tribulations destined by fate. It is purely an act by those in the demon race to steal the fortune of the Western Teachings.
It was forcibly arranged by the New Six-Eared Macaque.
To put it simply, it is a counterfeit version.
Secondly, the direction and route of this second Journey to the West are different. Sun Kong and his disciples went from east to west and then returned to the Great Tang Empire.
But this side?
According to the instructions of the Demon Sage, the New Six-Eared Macaque, disguised as a special demonic person reincarnated as Mo Zang, travels from west to east, that is, from South Asia in the mortal world to the Tang Dynasty in the mortal world.
He specifically travels in reverse, not for any other reason than to take this opportunity to cooperate with the operations of the Demon Sage and his three junior brothers to accomplish a great deed that the Heavenly Dao does not permit.
For this reason.
Although the New Six-Eared Macaque greatly wished to return to Luoyang in the Immortal Realm immediately and instruct that demonic household disciple, he dared not forget the important matters.
As he silently circulated his energy, employing his innate divine ability, the Sound-Listening and Reason-Discernment Technique, to deduce the situation in the Immortal Realm, he learned that Sun Kong had only sent his second brother Wu Zhiqi to secretly protect Jin Chanzi and had no greater moves. This put his mind slightly at ease.
Meanwhile, he turned around and told Mo Zang the original number of tribulations and the possible locations and times for the eighty-one tribulations of the Journey to the West in the Immortal Realm, which the Demon Sage had long told him!
"Mo Zang!"
"Master Brother, please instruct!"
"Why are you still calling me Master Brother? The second Journey to the West in the mortal world is about to officially begin. You are the second Tang Monk, our master, understand?"
"Alright, please, Grand... please, first disciple, guide me."
"Hmm, that's more like it. Listen carefully. The content of our demon race's Journey to the West can be different from Sun Kong's, but the timing is best to correspond. The more precise the correspondence, the more fortune of the Western Teachings we can steal."
"Five hundred years ago, Sun Kong initiated the first tribulation in advance. At that time, I will lay an ambush in the South Asian region of the mortal world. You go there, and when you encounter it, you will naturally trigger the clues related to the first and second tribulations."
"But don't be too hasty. Wait for my signal. When the second tribulation of the Immortal Realm is truly triggered, you can act. It will be perfectly synchronized and flawless."
"From then on, all subsequent tribulations will be the same. You must not be careless just because there are no monsters and ghosts hindering this second Journey to the West in the mortal world."
"The Demon Sage said that under the resonance of spiritual energy, our demon race's self-created Journey to the West, while seemingly unrelated to the Journey to the West in the Immortal Realm, is actually closely connected. And that Monkey King is very powerful. Once he discovers it, it will also bring endless killing intent!"
After saying this, the New Six-Eared Macaque saw that Mo Zang was quite obedient, listening to his words and nodding in agreement to cooperate fully.
He then swiftly headed towards the vicinity of South Asia.
After a look of relief, the New Six-Eared Macaque immediately returned to the Immortal Realm. After a few leaps, he arrived in Luoyang City and followed the agreed signal.
That afternoon, taking advantage of no one noticing, he met with the demonic household disciple.
The two engaged in a secret discussion!
They believed their actions were mysterious and undetectable, but they did not realize.
While the New Six-Eared Macaque could block the deductions of the Heavenly Dao, saints, and even Sun Kong, the demonic household disciple did not have this ability.
The moment the two made contact, Sun Kong discovered the demonic household disciple and, for the first time, sensed the existence of the New Six-Eared Macaque!
"Good heavens, this guy is indeed one of the Four Mixed Monkeys, the Six-Eared Macaque. But his physical body and primordial spirit are many times stronger than the original."
"I don't know what benefits the demon race gave him to dare to act against the Heavenly Dao. Truly, are they not afraid of death at all?"
Sun Kong was using the "Wuhou Seven Stars Formation" to deduce the whereabouts of the demonic household disciple, thereby indirectly discovering the trace of the New Six-Eared Macaque.
While slightly surprised.
Almost at the same time.
New Flower Fruit Mountain.
Sun Kong heard the system's reward prompt again!
[Ding! The host has shocked the New Six-Eared Macaque, causing the New Six-Eared Macaque to feel that there is something unusual about the Great Tang Empire in the Immortal Realm, sensing a bad omen, and feeling greatly surprised, he prepares to immediately return to make arrangements.]
[After this incident, the New Six-Eared Macaque no longer dares to underestimate the host's influence on the Journey to the West tribulation and intends to monitor the entire process and provide support to the demon race at any time.]
[However, before his strength is sufficient, to avoid provoking the Heavenly Dao and the host, he can only continue to instruct his subordinates to focus on earning merit for the Journey to the West and not to act ostentatiously or cause trouble.]
[Reward: Reverence from the New Six-Eared Macaque +1 point.]
[Note 1: Because the New Six-Eared Macaque is different from the Saints of the Primordial World and everyone below the Saints, the proportion of reverence gained from him is different.]
[Note 2: The proportion of reverence gained from Saints, the New Six-Eared Macaque, and those below Saints is approximately 1:100:10000 respectively. Please continue to work hard, host, to change more karma in the Journey to the West and shock out more rewards!]
Upon hearing the system's words, combined with his recent deductions, the mist in front of Sun Kong's eyes dissipated by more than half, and he also had some idea of what the New Six-Eared Macaque might do next.
As it stands, the New Six-Eared Macaque dares not go too far in the Immortal Realm. At most, he would send his subordinates to replace the demonic household disciple to gain merit.
He still dares not offend himself while also offending many factions and the Heavenly Dao.
However, in other aspects, it is hard to say.
For example, the mortal world!
"It is said that the mortal world and the Immortal Realm are both part of the Three Realms and are proceeding almost simultaneously. The only differences are the flow of time and the specific circumstances of each dynasty."
"In the Immortal Realm, it is the Great Tang Empire, and in the mortal world, it is the Tang Dynasty. Although both are called Tang, there is a world of difference."
"But if I were in their shoes and wanted to do something bad without being discovered, perhaps the most likely place to strike would be the Tang Dynasty in the mortal world?"
"According to the different flow rates of the Three Realms, it is currently the second year of Renshou during the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui in the mortal world, which is the birth year of Tang Monk in 'Journey to the West'. I wonder if that New Six-Eared Macaque will make a move at this time."
With this thought, Sun Kong dared not be careless and immediately began to make arrangements!
