Hearing Sun Wukong's narration, the group of monkeys cheered loudly and jumped up and down in joy.
"Your Majesty is so capable, why should you still be the Monkey King?”
"Why don't we change our name and call ourselves the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal?!”
" The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal?!"
Sun Wukong listened to his subordinate's suggestion and was immediately tempted.
In his dream, he had once called himself the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal.
However, in the dream, he was actually just an ignorant person who was fearless. He did not understand how terrifying the three worlds were.
He did not know how many mighty figures and experts there were in the three worlds.
That was why he dared to use such a banner.
In reality, it didn't live up to its name and would only make the mighty figures of the Three Realms laugh at it.
But now, it was not a dream. Everything was different.
With his current strength, he could be considered to be at the top of the Three Realms without a Saint.
After all, even the Lord of the Buddhist Sect, Gautama Buddha, could not take him down.
If he really called himself the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, he could barely be considered worthy of his name.
"Fine. From today onwards, I am no longer the Monkey King, but the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal!”
He placed his hands on his waist and laughed with an extraordinary aura.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Wukong."
"Master?" Sun Wukong instantly recognized this voice.
"I'm waiting for you at the Water Curtain Cave.”
"Yes, disciple will be right there."
Sun Wukong did not dare to delay. After instructing his monkeys to play by themselves, he went straight to the Water Curtain Cave.
When he reached the depths of the Water Curtain Cave, he also saw his master sitting on the cloud bed.
"Disciple Sun Wukong greets master.”
Sun Wukong ran to the cloud bed and knelt on the ground.
"Thank you for your guidance, Master. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to return this time.”
He thought about how he would have been suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain for countless years if not for his master's help.
Therefore, his gratitude towards his master was indescribable.
Even if his master asked him to go through fire and water, he would do it without hesitation.
Because in his heart, his master was the person who treated him the best in the world.
"It's good that you're back.”Zhang Li said with a smile.
Sun Wukong got up from the ground and looked at Zhang Li.
With one look, he was shocked.
"Why does Master still look like a mortal? I can't see through his cultivation at all?”
It was no wonder that he was surprised. One had to know that he was already in the late stage of the Quasi-Sage Realm.
Even if he was facing a peak Quasi-Sage like Tathagata, he could tell his cultivation realm at a glance.
But now, facing his master, he still couldn't see anything.
"Could it be that this master is above the peak of the Quasi-Saint Realm?”
He could only make such a guess. Otherwise, there was no way to explain why he could not see through his master's cultivation.
As far as he knew, there were only Sages above the peak of the Quasi-Sage Stage.
"Master, are you a Saint?”
Sun Wukong was a straightforward person and did not like to beat around the bush, so he asked directly.
"Sage?"
Zhang Li smiled and shook his head.
"I am not a Saint."
"If you're not a Saint, then why can't I see your cultivation level even though I'm already in the late stage of the Quasi-Saint realm?”Sun Wukong asked doubtfully.
Hearing this, Zhang Li immediately understood.
It seemed that this fellow thought that he was a Saint because he could not see through his cultivation.
"Fortunately, my cultivation has increased again.”
Zhang Li couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
"Otherwise, if this fellow finds out that my true cultivation level is not much higher than his, it will affect my image as an expert.”
Zhang Li smiled and said,"
"In this world, there are not only Saints above the peak of the Quasi-Sage Stage.”
"Not only Saints?"
Sun Wukong was shocked.
"Then what other realm can compare to the immortal saints?”
"Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal." Zhang Li said lightly.
"Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal?" The more Sun Wukong listened, the more confused he became.
"I've long heard that a Saint is a Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. Could it be that there's a difference between them?”
"A Saint is a Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, but a Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal is not a Saint," Zhang Li said with a smile.
"This disciple is getting more and more confused.”Sun Wukong asked respectfully.
"The so-called Sage is recognized by the Heavenly Dao. His Essence Soul is entrusted to the Heavenly Dao and given the cultivation of a Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal by the Heavenly Dao.”
Zhang Li explained patiently.
"Therefore, Saints are Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.”
"However, it's not only the recognition of the Heavenly Dao that can vindicate the Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.”
"You can also cultivate on your own and vindicate the Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.”
"A Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal who vindicates the Dao on his own is not a Saint if he is not bound and controlled by the Heavenly Dao.”
"Oh, I understand. Saints are Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals bestowed by the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, all Saints are Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.”
Sun Wukong was extremely smart and instantly understood the difference.
"As for Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals, they might not be recognized by the Heavenly Dao, so they might not be Saints.”
"You're worth teaching." Zhang Li praised.
"Master is an expert at the Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm, but he wasn't bestowed by the Heavenly Dao. That's why he said he wasn't a Saint just now.”Sun Wukong laughed.
"I didn't say that I was a Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. You made it up yourself," Zhang Li laughed secretly in his heart.
However, in order to maintain his dignity as a master, he did not clarify the truth.
Let this monkey guess for himself.
"By the way, Master, after I successfully cultivated on the Spirit Mountain, I did something big.”
At this moment, Sun Wukong finally remembered that he wanted to show off his achievements to his master.
"Not only did this disciple cause a ruckus on Mount Numinous, but I also smashed Rulai's Great Thunderclap Monastery.”
"Master, you didn't see it. That old man Rulai's expression was so interesting.”
"At this moment, I already know." Zhang Li smiled faintly.
"Oh." Sun Wukong's eyes shone as he stared at Zhang Li.
Praise me, praise me, praise me!
Seeing Sun Wukong like this, Zhang Li couldn't help but laugh.
Although this fellow's cultivation was shocking, he was still like a child, waiting for the praise of an adult.
Therefore, he didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm, so he smiled and praised,"
"You did well, even better than I expected. As expected of my disciple.”
Finally receiving his master's praise, Sun Wukong jumped up and down excitedly.
After a long time, he finally calmed down and said,
"Master, just now, my subordinates suggested that with my abilities, I should be called the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal.”
"I wonder what Master thinks. Can we use this banner?”
After killing Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and being suppressed by the Five Fingers Mountain, he had become much more cautious.
Therefore, although he wanted to do this, he still decided to seek his master's opinion first.
"If you want to do it, go ahead." Zhang Li nodded slightly.
Anyway, in the original plot, it was not a problem for a Primordial Immortal monkey to use this banner.
The current Monkey was a late-stage Quasi-Sage mighty figure. Naturally, there would not be any problems.
"Alright, then from now on, I will be the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal.”Sun Wukong smiled happily.
Soon, a flag was raised on the Flowerfruit Mountain.
There were four big words written on it.
The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal.
