48 -48: The Treasure that Specifically Conquers Sun Wukong
Jiang Chen didn’t do business that made a loss.
Therefore, he only transmitted the first half of the Zhuyan Tao Scripture to the monkeys.
Although it was quite extraordinary, it could only cultivate up to the Golden Immortals Realm.
The Golden Immortal Realm might not have amounted to much before Ancient Times, but today, it is considered as quite formidable.
The monkey group only sought self-protection, and the power of the Golden Immortal level was just right for them.
For this reason, half of the Zhuyan Tao Scripture was enough.
If he had transmitted the full version of the Zhuyan Tao Scripture to the monkeys, it wouldn’t be for their self-protection anymore, but rather, he would be courting disaster for them.
Classics leading directly to the Daluo Taoist Honor could be considered extraordinary masterpieces, a precious treasure in the world.
If Jiang Chen had really given the complete Zhuyan Tao Scripture to the monkey group, once the news got out, with the power of Huaguo Mountain’s monkeys, they wouldn’t have been able to protect it.
If they were lucky, only the Tao Scripture would be seized.
If they were unlucky, perhaps the whole clan would meet an unfortunate end.
Treasure has always belonged to those with virtue.
What kind of person has virtue?
It definitely has to be a highly cultivated person.
Otherwise, how could they protect their treasure?
And the monkeys of Huaguo Mountain, they certainly weren’t virtuous people.
…
“Hmm, that’s right.”
“Monkey, you have to remember, this jade amulet can only exist for a hundred years.”
“After a hundred years, it will disappear into thin air.
Although I have conferred upon you cultivation techniques, whether you can comprehend them within a hundred years depends on your own fate.”
After thinking about it, Jiang Chen said.
This hundred-year limitation was naturally to prevent the cultivation techniques from leaking out.
Although the monkeys all swore an oath, accidents tend to happen unpredictably, so it’s better to take precautions.
A hundred years was more than enough time for these monkeys to understand the Zhuyan Tao Scripture.
If they were unable to comprehend it, then it could only be said that it was their fate, and they have no destiny with the scripture.
However, Jiang Chen believed that the chance of this happening was very small.
Not to mention that these monkeys were all extraordinary, and it was not hard to practice this method.
He reckoned that Sun Wukong should return within a hundred years.
If this group of monkeys couldn’t comprehend it, could he not understand it?
Well, since Jiang Chen had conferred the cultivation method to the entire monkey group, so the monkey group teaching Sun Wukong the Zhuyan Tao Scripture didn’t violate any oath.
Similarly, if Sun Wukong chose to cultivate the Zhuyan Tao Scripture, he would also be subject to the restriction of the oath, and could not be an enemy of the Human Race.
For his personal preference, Jiang Chen made this plan.
He anticipated one step ahead, to eliminate the possibility of Sun Wukong being an enemy of the Human Race.
“Thank you for the reminder, Immortal.” The old monkey said immediately in gratitude.
He didn’t think there was anything improper about Jiang Chen’s actions.
In his opinion, they were the ones who had made a huge profit this time.
Although the Sky-mending Divine Stone was precious, in their hands, it was just a pile of rocks that served no use.
To use such useless waste to exchange for a monkey clan legacy beyond imagination, no matter how they calculated, they are deemed profitable.
It’s inevitable that the immortal has imposed some restrictions after making such a big loss.
It has to be said, the old monkey is really considerate.
“In that case, it seems that our karma has come to an end.
We will meet again if destiny allows it.” Seeing that the old monkey had no objections, Jiang Chen said his goodbyes.
Then, without waiting for the old monkey to respond, he turned into a golden ray of light and flew away.
“Farewell, Great Immortal!” Seeing this, the monkeys hurriedly paid their respects.
…
…
Upon leaving the Water Curtain Cave, Jiang Chen did not rush to leave.
He saw the Tao mirror emerging from his body, suspended in the air, emitting a dazzling glow that erased all traces of his presence there.
Even if someone used a great divine ability to calculate, they couldn’t deduce that Jiang Chen had been to Huaguo Mountain.
The change in the monkey group naturally had nothing to do with him.
After taking care of all these, Jiang Chen did not hurry to leave.
Instead, he wandered around Huaguo Mountain with the Tao mirror overhead.
He was looking for the birthplace of Sun Wukong.
If there’s one place in Huaguo Mountain that’s the best, it must be Sun Wukong’s birthplace.
Since it could produce Sun Wukong, the spirit of Heaven and Earth, it must be a place where creation gathers.
In this case, there might be other treasures conceived inside.
There are countless creations in the world, and no one knows what could happen.
Jiang Chen was a bit uneasy without checking it.
Huaguo Mountain isn’t big, and in a short while, Jiang Chen found Sun Wukong’s birthplace, which was a stone platform on the top of the mountain.
However, the result was undoubtedly disappointing.
This place is indeed a place of creation, but that was in the past.
Now, the surrounding spiritual veins have already dried up, and they can only glimpse at its past splendor from the residual traces.
It seemed that in order to conceive Sun Wukong, the creation of this treasure land had been exhausted.
“I was too greedy.”
After looking around and confirming there were no treasures here, Jiang Chen sighed with disappointment.
Then, feeling extremely unwilling, he stooped and carried away the stone platform.
Before the birth of Sun Wukong, the Sky-mending Divine Stone, which nurtured him, was subjected to the essence of the sun and moon on this stone platform.
Over time, this stone platform also absorbed a bit of the mystique of the Sky-mending Divine Stone and became extraordinary.
Although it wasn’t extremely precious, it was indeed better than nothing.
However, this wasn’t the main reason Jiang Chen took it away.
Upon seeing this stone platform, a strange idea arose in Jiang Chen’s mind.
This idea urged him to take it away.
Jiang Chen planned to melt this stone platform, refine its essence, and, with the help of fragments of the Sky-mending Divine Stone, forge a treasure.
Whether or not this treasure would be powerful was hard to tell, but its main function would be to restrain Sun Wukong!
This was a treasure specifically made to deal with Sun Wukong.
All things in the world generally nourish and restrain each other.
The Sky-mending Divine Stone bred Sun Wukong, so from another perspective, it became Sun Wukong’s nemesis.
As the saying goes, what goes around comes around.
Using the Sky-mending Divine Stone to deal with Sun Wukong, this was the logic.
Honestly, Jiang Chen was somewhat bewildered by why Sun Wukong hadn’t destroyed the fragments of the Sky-mending Divine Stone but collected them instead, leaving such a gaping hole in his defences.
Logically, after the birth of Sun Wukong, the fragments of the Sky-mending Divine Stone would have two possible fates.
One was to completely integrate into Sun Wukong’s body to enhance his original source.
The other was to metamorphose into a spiritual treasure and become a part of Sun Wukong.
Only in these ways could all hazards be avoided.
Not only Sun Wukong should do this, but in general, all spirits of Heaven and Earth behave similarly at birth.
However, looking at the current situation with the Sky-mending Divine Stone, Jiang Chen was a bit perplexed.
It did not merge into Sun Wukong’s body, nor did it metamorphose into his spiritual treasure, instead, it preserved in the form of fragments.
This…
Isn’t this looking for trouble for Sun Wukong!
Why create such a large weak point for no reason?
Could it be due to Sun Wukong’s underdevelopment?
As a spirit of Heaven and Earth, Sun Wukong’s performance could be said to be quite poor.
Not to mention he has no innate heritage, but he also resembled ordinary monkeys after birth.
