45 -45: The Heavenly Gods’ Patching Stone

Common monkeys are born with an Innate Realm, let alone Sun Wukong who is naturally nurtured by Heaven and Earth, definitely more powerful.

For mortals, this waterfall is naturally extremely dangerous.

But for cultivators of the Innate Realm, that might not be the case.

There may be danger, but it is absolutely not significant.

No wonder Sun Wukong dared to jump, it turns out it was not his bravery, but the fact that he is skillful and courageous.

“The Water Curtain Cave, huh?” Murmuring to himself, Jiang Chen stomped lightly.

Ripples radiated from his toes and swept around.

Whoosh…

As the ripples swept across, they stirred up endless sprays of water.

In mid-air, they coalesced into a rainbow bridge, beginning at Jiang Chen’s feet and ending outside the Water Curtain Cave.

“Oh this…” The veteran monkey stood dumbfounded, staring at the sudden advent of the rainbow bridge, utterly speechless in amazement.

After a pause, it finally managed to mutter, “The Immortal really has great divine abilities.”

For this, Jiang Chen simply shrugged, he didn’t place compliments from a monkey to heart, even if this monkey was native to Huaguo Mountain.

“Let’s go!” Stepping onto the rainbow bridge, Jiang Chen casually issued the order while heading to the Water Curtain Cave.

Hearing this, the old monkey paused and hurried to keep up, never daring to slack off.

At the sight, those who didn’t know the situation might think that the old monkey was the guest, and Jiang Chen was the master.

…

After penetrating the waterfall, they discovered a structure inside that was smooth and waveless, forming a clear bridge.

The bridge was made of wooden planks.

As Jiang Chen walked through the middle, he looked around to see there was a stone monument with a line of regular script inscribed on it.

It read: “Blessed Land of Huaguo Mountain, Heavenly Cave of the Water Curtain.”

Upon seeing this, Jiang Chen knew he had arrived at the Water Curtain Cave.

Once inside the Water Curtain Cave, Jiang Chen felt as though he had stumbled into a monkey’s nest. freewebnσvel.cѳm

All he could see were monkeys: big ones, small ones, old ones, strong ones…

The monkeys that had come in before had already explained the situation to the monkey troops.

So, when Jiang Chen arrived, it didn’t cause any turmoil at all.

“Honored Immortal, please have a seat.” A monkey, who seemed to hold a considerable rank among them, stepped apart from the monkey troop and addressed Jiang Chen as such.

“Huh?” Seeing that monkey’s appearance, Jiang Chen’s eyes twitched a bit.

This monkey was distinct from the others.

Its arms extended past its knees, clearly longer than other monkeys by a significant portion.

A Long-armed Ape!

In a moment of realization, a name surfaced in Jiang Chen’s mind.

This monkey,

Should be a Long-armed Ape.

According to Journey to the West, there were four primary monkeys on Huaguo Mountain: two Red-buttocks Horse Monkeys and two Long-armed Apes.

They guided the Monkey King on how to obtain weapons from Aolai Nation for the monkey troop’s practice, and later they were promoted to four capable generals.

The two Red-buttocks Horse Monkeys were renamed into Marshals Ma and Liu, whilst the two Long-Armed Apes were renamed into Generals Beng and Ba.

Presumably, this Long-Armed Ape before him was either General Beng or Ba.

This was indeed an intelligent monkey.

The fact that he could facilitate Sun Wukong’s training of the monkey troops, proved his worth.

Jiang Chen took a seat as invited, and instantly a monkey brought forth fruit.

One had to admit, these monkeys were quite careful.

The fruits were served on pristine tree leaves, it all looked very clean.

He picked up a peach, wiped it on his clothes, and took a bite.

He felt a surge of spiritual energy flowing down his throat into his stomach, then spreading throughout his body.

Spiritual Fruit!

These fruits were all Spiritual Fruits, filled with the Aura of Heaven and Earth, they were amongst the finest of fruits.

No wonder these monkeys were so strong without cultivating their powers.

They used Spiritual Fruits as their daily food.

It was truly an enviable lifestyle.

Huaguo Mountain was indeed a treasure land.

Not only did it nurture Sun Wukong, but it also produced a mountain full of spiritual fruits.

There were countless fruits and medicinal plants in the world, but they could generally be divided into four major levels.

From low to high, they were:

Mortal Fruit (Medicine), Spiritual Fruit (Medicine), Fairy Fruit (Medicine), Innate Spiritual Fruit (Medicine).

Each level could be further divided into four minor levels, they were Low, Medium, High, and Extreme.

The spiritual fruits of Huaguo Mountain, although classified as only medium-low-grade spiritual fruits, nevertheless came in great quantities.

Judging from the attitudes of these monkeys, these spiritual fruits were not in short supply and seemed to be easily attainable.

It was blissful living here for these monkeys.

Although Jiang Chen, being from the Jiang Family, could enjoy spiritual fruits every day.

However, it was important to remember that the Jiang Family was a royal family of the Human Race.

Even wild monkeys could live a lifestyle comparable to the direct descendants of the Jiang Family, showing the high quality of life here.

…

“Honored Immortal, this treasure was left behind by our king.

Today I present it to you to express our deep gratitude for saving us.”

After Jiang Chen had rested for a while, the old monkey that had disappeared since entering the cave, suddenly came dragging something over, speaking to him.

“A treasure?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen paused, surprised that the old monkey was actually bringing out a treasure.

Curious, Jiang Chen followed the voice to see what he held, intrigued to find out what kind of treasure the old monkey would consider so valuable.

However, when the true nature of the treasure came into sight, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but feel a jolt in his heart.

He must admit, he had somewhat underestimated the monkeys of Huaguo Mountain.

The treasure, indeed, was a great treasure.

The object in the possession of the old monkey was a stone, to be precise, a fragment of a stone.

It looked ordinary, but in the eyes of Jiang Chen, it was emanating a golden glow, dazzlingly radiant.

It was the glow of Merit.

More brilliant than the Sun Scepter in Jiang Chen’s hand.

Clearly, before this stone was broken, it was a Merit Treasure, and the concentration of its Merit far exceeded that of the Sun Scepter.

“What is the origin of this object?”

Swallowing subconsciously, Jiang Chen, in an excited tone, asked.

He had a vague guess about the origin of this treasure.

In the world, there aren’t many treasures with greater merit than the Sun Scepter.

But when placed on Huaguo Mountain, there was only one.

“Honored Immortal may not know.

Our king is a sprite nurtured by Heaven and Earth, born from a stone.

This fragmented stone in question is a piece of the Fairy Stone that nurtured him,” the old monkey reluctantly glanced at the stone chip in his hand and said.

As expected, this was a fragment of the Sky-Mending Stone!

As soon as the old monkey revealed the origin of the object, Jiang Chen already knew the answer in his heart.

If there was a treasure on Huaguo Mountain that could surpass the Sun Scepter in terms of merit, it would undoubtedly be the Sky-Mending Stone that had nurtured Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong’s origin involved a Sky-mending Stone that was accidentally dropped by Empress Nuwa during her Sky-mending process and that, after many years of interacting with the essence of the sun and the moon, it became Sun Wukong.

Hence, Sun Wukong’s gifted talent was astonishing.

The Sky-Mending Stone, possessing the merit of mending the sky, its vast merit was undoubtedly apparent.

The Sun Scepter was merely the walking stick of the Earth Emperor, and it was not his proof of attainment.

It was not surprising that it could not compare to the Sky-Mending Stone in terms of merit.

“A naturally born stone monkey?

That’s indeed extraordinary,” Jiang Chen remarked as he took the Sky-Mending Stone from the old monkey.

Having benefited from it, he didn’t mind praising Sun Wukong a bit.

This time, he had genuinely made a fortune.

Unexpectedly, a simple visit to Huaguo Mountain would lead to such a great achievement.
