The stone monkey was conferred the title of Great Sage Equal to Heaven and was in charge of the peach garden.
However, because he wasn't invited to the Feast of Peaches, he caused a ruckus at the Feast of Peaches and stirred up trouble in Tushita Palace.
The Heavenly Court was enraged once again and sent 100,000 celestial soldiers to capture him.
The stone monkey's fists were unable to fight against four hands, it was captured and thrown into Grand Supreme Elder's eight trigrams furnace.
49 days later, the stone monkey kicked over the Eight Trigrams Furnace and began to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace.
In the end, Gautama Buddha of the West made a move and suppressed him under the Five Finger Mountain.
The stone monkey lived under the Five Fingers Mountain, eating copper balls when it was hungry and drinking molten iron when it was thirsty. It had experienced wind, frost, rain, and snow for 500 years.
Five hundred years later, he was finally rescued by a man who was going to fetch the scriptures. He escorted the man to the western paradise to pray to Buddha and ask for scriptures.
After more than ten years of searching for the scriptures and experiencing countless difficulties and dangers, he finally escorted the person to obtain the true scripture.
He was also conferred the title of Fighting Buddha.
In the end,
In a small temple under the Spirited Mountain.
An old monkey wearing a golden kasaya sat under a Buddha statue.
Under the dim light of a green lamp, he knocked on a wooden fish gently.
Da da, da.
Amidst the dull sound of the wooden fish, he couldn't help but recall the past.
Back when he wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, he was so high-spirited and arrogant.
Unfortunately, all of that had long become the past, drifting away with the wind.
Now, the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal was no longer around.
The only ones left were those from the Buddhist Sect.
Fighting Buddha.
……
"No, no, no!"
After a few painful cries, the stone monkey suddenly opened its eyes.
He looked around in a daze before slowly waking up.
This was not a small temple at the foot of the Spirited Mountain.
Instead, it was the divine stone that nurtured him.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness, thank goodness it was just a dream. It really scared me to death.”
The stone monkey heaved a long sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
"Do you really think this is a dream?”
A voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Who is it? Who's talking?" The stone monkey's heart tightened as he hurriedly asked.
"Who I am is not important. What is important is, do you really think that it was just a dream?”The voice sounded again.
"Of course it's a dream. What else could it be? I often dream about it." The stone monkey was puzzled.
"That is your fate, your destined fate.”
"Fate?" The stone monkey was slightly stunned.
"Are you saying that I am destined to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace and become a Buddhist monk?”
"You're destined to become a Buddhist Sect's Fighting Buddha.”
the voice said.
The stone monkey couldn't help but shiver when he thought of the old monkey beside the ancient Buddha at the end of the dream.
During the countless years that he had been nurtured in the God's Stone, he had had many dreams.
There were sweet dreams and nightmares.
But there had never been a dream that was as real as the one just now.
It was as terrifying as before.
When he thought about how his future would turn out like that, he could not help but feel fear.
That was not the future he wanted.
"Then what should I do? How can I avoid such a fate?”The stone monkey hurriedly asked in fear.
"Isn't that a good fate?" The voice asked,"
"Becoming the victorious Buddha of the Buddhist Sect is the dream of many cultivators. Don't you want it?”
"No, I don't want it at all.”The stone monkey head shook like a rattle-drum.
"Alright, since you don't want that kind of fate, I can help you change it.”the voice said.
"How do I change it?" The stone monkey asked.
"The first step to change is to temporarily not appear.”
"Not coming out? I feel that this divine stone that gave birth to me can no longer withstand my body and will shatter at any moment.”the stone monkey said.
"Then you should hide your body. As long as you don't come out today, I believe that you really want to change your fate.”The voice said,"
"If you can't even do such a small thing well, then forget about changing your fate.”
"Just follow your destiny. That might be more suitable for you.”
"No, no, no, I can do it, I can do it!”
The stone monkey hurriedly said. His tone was extremely firm.
"Words are useless. Let me see your actions.”the voice said.
"Alright, alright, alright. I definitely won't be born today.”
As the stone monkey spoke, it retracted its body and did not dare to move at all, afraid that its body would explode the divine stone.
Seeing this, Zhang Li finally smiled.
"Not bad, I've finally fooled this monkey.”
Time passed quickly. The sun slowly set from the sky until it completely sank into the sea.
Night had arrived.
"Ding…Stop the stone monkey from being born today. Mission completed. Reward: Primordial Dao Scripture.”
Zhang Li was overjoyed that he had finally completed the task.
Mysterious words surged into his mind.
The Primordial Dao Scripture was divided into nine levels. One could obtain the Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Dao Fruit by cultivating to the seventh level.
"Is this the Primordial Dao Scripture? It's indeed impressive.”
"Just the seventh level can vindicate primordial essence.”
"I made the right choice this time.”
He had always wanted a top-notch cultivation technique, but he had no way to obtain it.
In terms of cultivation and realm, after receiving the reward of sweeping the floor for a thousand years, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm.
However, because he lacked a suitable cultivation method, he was stuck at the peak of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm for hundreds of years and could not break through to the Sage-to-be Realm.
The reward given by the system was exactly what he needed.
"Ding…mission activated. Stone Monkey will not be born for ten days. Reward: Nine-Nine Mysterious Art.”
Eh, it's not over yet?
Zhang Li's eyes lit up. Could it be that he could keep getting rewards by keeping the monkey hidden?
In that case, wouldn't Monkey become a tool for him to farm rewards?
He looked at the divine stone in front of him and chuckled.
"Old Deity, Old Deity, are you still there?”
The stone monkey asked carefully when he heard laughter outside.
In his opinion, a person who could see his future must be a peerless expert.
He was afraid that this peerless expert would leave. If that happened, he would not be able to escape his destined fate.
"I'm here." Zhang Li said.
"That's good, that's good."
The stone monkey's heart relaxed as he continued.
"Old Deity, I already held back from coming out yesterday. Did I complete your instructions?”
"You did well. I can see your determination.”Zhang Li smiled.
"Then can I be born now?" The stone monkey asked.
"Not yet. It's not time for you to be born yet.”Zhang Li said.
"Why?" The stone monkey asked.
"It's only been one day. Your determination isn't enough. I need to see even greater determination from you.”Zhang Li said.
"If you can continue to endure and not appear for ten days, I will give you a reward.”
"Reward?" The stone monkey's interest was piqued.
"What reward?"
"I can't tell you what the reward is for the time being. As long as you can do it, you will know what it is.”Zhang Li smiled.
"Old Deity, don't worry. I will definitely be able to endure ten days of not being born.”The stone monkey said firmly.
