Taiyi Dao Fruit

Speaking, he was about to call his fellow disciples to set out.

"Fellow Taoist, please stay."

At that moment, a voice calling them to stay entered their ears, and both Daoists felt their six senses become confused, and their five aggregates bewildered. Even though they were fourth-rank beings, they felt dizzy.

"Brother, you..." Guangming Daoist couldn't help but look back at Shen Hou.

Without a doubt, this call to stay had come from Shen Hou, manifesting his divine power.

Not only that, it seemed he had employed some other sneaky techniques.

"Junior brother, I forgot to mention, I am also one of the Jiang family, surname Jiang from the Shen clan, name Wuhai. On behalf of the Jiang family, forgive me, brothers."

Shen Hou looked at the two brothers, spoke slowly, and turned to walk towards the Yuqing Hall, "Jiang Biehe's death at the hands of Jiang Li was indeed unexpected, but he also diverted everyone's attention away from this place."

The doors ponderously opened, and Shen Hou's eyes met the many divine statues inside the hall; among them, one statue was emitting a faint divine light, resonating distantly with Shen Hou.

"The Chaotic God Curse could only confuse your perceptions, but the Dao Fruit Divine Power has endangered your Qi Shu. Brothers, please take good care after this and do not leave the Yuxu Temple for at least three months."

After saying this, Shen Hou ignored the restrained brothers and walked straight into the Yuqing Hall, arriving at the far end of the great hall.

His gaze landed on a statue holding a wooden whip.

"Hmmm ahhhh!"

On a snowy mountain, a piercing howl lingered, intermittently mixed with the sharp cries of an ape.

A White Ape grasped its head with both hands, tumbling back and forth. At times it somersaulted wildly, at times it slammed its head against the mountain wall, breaking it and threatening to collapse.

Above its head, a golden hoop seemed to have grown into the flesh, strands of golden light burrowing into the ape's skull like worms, causing it unbearable pain. The fierce and twisted ape face bore eyes flaming within, golden as the sun wheel, with six ears appearing faintly on each side.

"Tsst!"

"The pain is killing me."

The White Ape roared, cried out, its head splitting with pain, but still stubbornly resisting the invasion of the golden light.

Hui Neng, upon seeing this, glanced at the White-clothed Buddhist in the Stone Pavilion.

He had already mentioned that the Dao Fruit was about to awaken. Why hadn't it integrated even now? Could he have been mistaken?

Such a sin.

Hui Neng continuously admitted his wrongdoing in his heart, acknowledging he should not harbor distrust.

The Buddhist Zhen Ru in the Stone Pavilion remained calm, as before, showing no ripples, but felt somewhat embarrassed inside. The Dao Fruit had been stirring for a while now, and yet there was still no end — truly frustrating.

It seems there might be errors in the ancient records.

However, fortunately, there wasn't much discrepancy.

Buddhist Zhen Ru lightly touched the stone table next to him, his fingers flicking like playing strings, slightly stirring, "It's time to awaken."

He had stirred the karma of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven and the Eight Heavenly Dragons and Great Power Bodhisattva. Now, the peril of the Guangli Bodhisattva had guided karma, causing the iron bar on the stone table to start vibrating.

"Those who should have passed away have nearly all done so, Guangli Bodhisattva might have made mistakes, but his sins are not unto death."

As his words ended, the iron bar on the stone table burst with golden light, suddenly flew up, spinning and landing in front of the White Ape.

The White Ape on the ground had stopped howling by then. Golden halos spilled from its pores, tinging its white fur golden. It got to its feet, grabbing the iron bar, its face both ferocious and horrible, fangs jutting over its lips, yet carrying an indescribable majesty, oddly turning beautiful upon closer observation.

A pair of golden eyes like the sun wheel, tinged with firelight, its six ears becoming somewhat pointed, no longer as ugly as before, appearing like six wings attached to the side of its face.

Wuzhiqi, Six-Eared Macaque, and now with the Dao Fruit entering its body, three whole Dao Fruits coexisted within the White Ape, occasionally colliding but not affecting the overall, giving rise to power, changing the physical body, causing continuous metamorphosis.

Muscles and bones thundered explosively, blood surged like a long river. Veins rose under the skin and muscles bulged, the seeping Qi melting the surrounding snow as if summer had arrived.

"Heh."

The White Ape exhaled a long breath, shooting a deep hole into the ground like an arrow, its fierce gaze sweeping over Hui Neng, the Stone Pavilion, the Buddhist, and settling eventually on a gigantic figure in the distance.

"Hmm?"

Jiang Li immediately felt something, his gaze turning in this direction. His Heavenly Eye spanned thousands of miles, viewing the scene on the snowy mountain.

"A monkey?"

Jiang Li's gaze fluctuated, his eye clearly reflecting the appearance of the monkey.

'Golden Hoop, iron bar, Fire Eyes Golden Eyes, it's unmistakably that monkey, but what's with these six ears?'

The moment he saw the white shadow in the Stone Pavilion, Jiang Li had already guessed that Buddhist Zhen Ru had found another gullible victim. Sun Monkey's Dao Fruit had found a place.

But these excessive elements made Jiang Li doubt his own guess.

Could this be not Sun Monkey, but the Six-Eared Macaque?

The two monkeys had once staged a drama of the true and false Monkey King. Perhaps the Six-Eared Macaque, even in death, kept to its original intent, letting the Dao Fruit recipients mimic a monkey's form. That was also possible.

Moreover, the Six-Eared Macaque was beaten to death in the Western Heaven Great Leiyin Temple, and Buddha Country carried on the legacy of Buddhism. Having a Six-Eared Macaque's Dao Fruit was quite reasonable.

Before Jiang Li could conjecture more on this matter, the ape had already burst from the snowy mountain.

He leapt up, jumping continuously on the mountains ahead, the footprints left behind shaking the mountains. Suddenly airborne, he somersaulted, a white cloud suddenly appearing, breaking through the air, covering thousands of miles in an instant.
