C2 Awakening

"This sovereign, Tian Bai, came from the Beast Realm and became the ruler of the ninth world, then was ruled by the fourth world's devil realm — Zhong Xie, the ruler of the third world's Buddha world — Tathagata, and one of the unknown Nine Realms s, died here in order to obtain the fundamental force. Fortunately, the four monkeys and a portion of the body of consciousness were left behind to preserve his life."

"Currently, of the four monkeys, only you have managed to awaken a portion of your memories. After that, your path is already destined to be to find the fundamental force that I am hiding in the Nine Realms, and to subvert the Buddhist and devil worlds."

For this reason, I will use my greatest strength to rebuild your life. But after this process, your cultivation was completely destroyed, and you will be able to protect your life for a hundred years. That is why you have two choices!

The first is to live for a hundred years as a mortal. That way, Tathagata will never find you. You can be at ease for the rest of your life, and become a member of all the living things in the underworld.

Second, I will cultivate again in the next hundred years. When you once again have the power of the Jingu Bang, I will activate the last bit of power that is hidden within the Buddhist Realm, and send you out of the Buddhist Realm to begin your journey in the other eight realms.

"But, no matter which one you choose, I will send you to the North Ju Lu Chau for peace and quiet. The buddhist arts there are weak, enough to conceal your identity without Tathagata finding out!"

As he spoke, Sun Wukong's soul body, which was about to reach its weakest, suddenly shook at this moment. Under the confused look on his face, it quickly solidified, as if it was reviving...

"However, everything about you, if it is the will of the heavens, it is the will of the heavens. If it is not the will of the heavens, it is the will of the heavens!"

"If you cannot remember my words, then you are the best!"

Suddenly, when that aged voice completely stopped, Sun Wukong's blankness did not decrease, but everything in front of him disappeared, as though everything had turned upside down …

Nine worlds.

Tian Bai's voice.

Tathagata's plan.

Hundred and fifty times the glory.

Legendary Memories.

In an instant, all of them disappeared!

It was as if he had lost everything, but also as if all of this was a dream.

Now.

North Ju Lu Chau.

In the eastern part of the continent.

White River Town.

In a thatched cottage.

Light wooden bed.

It was the early dawn of the night.

"Tathagata?" Under a strange state, Sun Yan suddenly woke up from his sleep on the wooden bed, and immediately sat up.

This Sun Yan had a dream. In the dream, although he showed the face of a monkey, he was actually wearing a golden armor and was stepping on a rainbow colored cloud. As he went in and out, no matter if it was a god or Buddha, they were all afraid.

But a dream was an illusion. An illusion was always an illusion.

After awakening from the dream, this Sun Yan looked to be around sixteen years old and, compared to the him in the dream, he did not have a shred of imposing and shocking monkey eyes, nor did he have a trace of elegance and natural monkey aura, much less having a buddha's trembling monkey soul. He completely belonged to a normal mortal.

"This …" Sun Yan's expression was doubtful, and was a little confused. However, when he recalled the contents of his dream, he suddenly felt an extremely strong hatred towards the so-called Buddha that seemed to have arrived at this place, but he quickly suppressed it. He then exhaled, and shook his head with a bitter smile: "This dream, is really true …"

Following that, he looked at his dilapidated thatched cottage. Right now, it was impossible for him to be the majestic Great Sage Qi Tian in his dreams, since even eating and living was a problem for him. His delusions were always delusional!

After calming his mind, he had to face reality and continue thinking about his livelihood. Fortunately, he had signed a three-year contract with a servant named Wang Ye a few days ago, so he didn't have to worry about being hungry like before.

"Hey!" Sun Yan! Sun Yan! "

Just as Sun Yan was thinking, a strong voice came out from outside his thatched cottage.

Hearing that, Sun Yan was startled, but after that, he revealed a trace of a smile. Very clearly, he knew who the person who had arrived was, and immediately replied: "He's here!"

Sun Yan got up and walked to the door. After opening the door, he saw a thick browed young man dressed in coarse clothes, although he was strong, he gave off a simple and honest vibe.

His name was Liu Hu and he was very kind, he was the son of the town's iron grade shop owner. Three months ago, he was the one who saved Sun Yan, who had fainted in the small town's back mountain, and only knew his name.

In these three months, Sun Yan still could not remember anything about himself, but since he was still alive, he had no choice but to continue to live on. Thus, with no other choice, he ultimately chose to rely on what seemed to be an immense and bizarre strength that came from within him to help Liu Hu with his ironworks shop's hard work, earning him some silver from borrowing the ironsmith shop to renting this cheap thatched room.

After that, as Sun Yan and Liu Hu kept coming back and forth, the two of them became very good friends. Recently, if it wasn't for the fact that the iron grade shop had met with some troubles, Sun Yan would not have chosen to work at Steward Wang's house as servants.

"Alright, alright, stop calling out. I'll go with you to the outer court when I'm done dressing up." Sun Yan replied. After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, he set off on his journey with Liu Hu.

Considering the rent, Sun Yan chose to live in a remote area on the east side of the town in a small forest. Firstly, it was quiet, and secondly, it was cheap, but every time he went to the town, he would have to spend a bit of time.

On the way.

"How is the iron shop these days?" Sun Yan asked.

"It's not that, you know, Mayor Li's son, Li Ba, often uses his own father's authority to bully the citizens of the town, and recently … "That guy actually said that he saw an immortal and wanted to learn immortality. He wanted to seize the weapon in his hands and force my father to forge a treasured blade that can cut through metal like mud, but you know …"

"Although my house is the only iron shop in town, it's only a small business, how could I have the ability to fight such a knife. Sigh, now the iron shop has no way to open up!" Liu Hu sighed, looking helpless.

Listening, Sun Yan frowned slightly. He did not have any feelings for Li Ba, but he had a strange feeling about whatever cultivation Liu Hu was talking about. It was as if there was a voice that he could not hear clearly telling him that he must go and do something, and this matter was related to cultivation!

Not only that, when Sun Yan heard that Liu Hu had a good weapon in his hands, he could vaguely tell that he had tried to borrow some other weapon, but he had no results after pondering for a long time, so he stopped thinking about it, but just at this time, Liu Hu's footsteps suddenly stopped, held his mouth, and turned to face Sun Yan's right ear, and laughed awkwardly: "However, hehe, I will tell you one person, because of this matter …"

At this moment, Liu Hu's voice was getting softer and softer, but after hearing Liu Hu's words, Sun Yan's expression became more and more incredulous. In the end, his expression changed, and he directly spoke out: "You actually beat Li Ba up?!"

"Shh!" "Shh!" Seeing Sun Yan's loud voice, Liu Hu's brows suddenly jumped. He immediately and carefully looked towards the forest, afraid that others would find out. After that, when Liu Hu saw that there was no one else around, he patted Sun Yan's shoulder and made a small movement, signalling him not to spread the news.

Sun Yan was startled, he immediately covered his mouth, then looked at Liu Hu and asked worriedly: "You are too brazen, Li Ba is famous for taking revenge, are you not afraid of him taking revenge?!"

"What are you afraid of? He definitely doesn't know. When I hit him, I wrapped a gunny sack around him." Hearing that, Liu Hu's mouth twitched, he looked as if he did not care, but the depths of his eyes revealed a sense of unease.

"You …"

"Are you talking about this gunny sack?"

At this moment, just as Sun Yan wanted to say something, a cold voice came from the front and interrupted him.

At the same time, when Sun Yan and Liu Hu turned to look at the owner of the voice, both of them opened their eyes wide, but the only difference was that Sun Yan quickly reacted to it.

And the person who came, was precisely Li Ba!
