Chapter 961: Sun Wukong
A monkey covered in sparkling golden fur, with fiery golden eyes and a thunder-beak mouth, claiming to be Sun Wukong, followed by a group of great demons—this scene was utterly astonishing.
Ye Fan stood frozen for a long time. What was going on? This was far too subversive. Could it be that Sun Wukong truly existed in the Central Province and had once journeyed to the Western Paradise to retrieve scriptures?
He opened his Heavenly Eye to observe this monkey. His fetal bones were extraordinary, his bodily shell unique—this physique was rare. Had he not been born in an era of Dharma decline, he would surely have achieved great things in the future.
Now, at the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, he could be considered a peerless figure in the current age, surpassing some ancient legends.
Red Pine Master had spent his entire life pursuing something. Even at the moment of his sitting in nirvana and vanishing from the world, he remained fixated, his heart clinging to an obsession.
"It is said that Red Pine Master was an ancient immortal, but the founding ancestors of several demon gods knew that he could not be an immortal. He was instead searching for a true method to become an immortal," said the Third Valley Master.
When one's cultivation reached that level, what else could attract him? Only immortality! He traveled westward into Shu, spending his entire life's strength solely on ascending to immortality.
"Did he find anything?" Ye Fan asked.
"He obtained a piece of immortal bone on Tiantai Mountain in Zhejiang, containing the secrets of immortality. Following this, he traced it to the Shu region. It is said that part of a remnant map on the immortal bone pointed here. But he spent half his life in Shu without finding the ultimate secret land, falling short at the final step, unable to achieve immortality."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's heart stirred greatly. It was related to the map of the immortal ascension opportunity! Could it be that the final destination was Mount Shu? But so many years had passed—were there still traces left?
The Ten Thousand Demon Valley was located within Shu and naturally knew many ancient secrets. Successive valley masters had pursued this, even following the footsteps left by Red Pine Master.
"Successive valley masters have investigated and discovered that Red Pine Master might truly have been chasing real immortals, almost touching upon them. Especially five hundred years ago, an old valley master made a startling discovery, but unfortunately, before he could reveal the secret, he died inexplicably," sighed the Third Valley Master.
The Ten Thousand Demon Valley had spent immense manpower and resources on this pursuit. By chance, they made a breakthrough discovery among the ancient hanging coffins. From there, they opened countless coffins, from the hanging coffins of Shu to the ancient coffins of Wuyi Mountain.
They recovered several ancient jade books from the oldest hanging coffins, which vaguely indicated that there should be an Earth Immortal, a tremendous secret!
Ancient records contained mentions, and not just in one place. The Ten Thousand Demon Valley had also seriously deduced that there might truly be a real Earth Immortal, not just a deified human.
"The dwelling of the Earth Immortal, with thousands of hanging coffins on the cliffside."
"It is said to be the burial bones of an immortal."
They discovered that what Red Pine Master sought might be that Earth Immortal.
