Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 614 - 611: Six-Eared or Lingming?

The title of Victorious Fighting Buddha sounds impressive, but it's because the final fruit of this Western Journey was seized by Tathagata, who casually gave him a title.

It sounds majestic, with his own Buddhist hall and temple, but these can be set up with a wave of the hand, utterly worthless and meaningless.

How could Sun Wukong not understand, this was just a way to dismiss him, yet he had no choice but to accept it, which made him somewhat aggrieved, but he could only pinch his nose and recognize it.

Otherwise, what else can he do, carry his Ruyi Stick and storm the Great Heroic Hall, only to be suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain by Tathagata again?

Though he was unruly, he wasn't a fool; fighting others head-on when you can't win is just foolish behavior.

Sun Wukong waved his hand and said, "That Victorious Fighting Buddha sounds good, but it's not as interesting as you."

Lu Ren was a bit surprised and said, "Looks like you four masters and disciples have parted ways already?"

He looked up at the sky and then suddenly realized that he had been staying in the Earth God Temple for seven or eight days.

Monk Tang enlightened his past wisdom, returned to Ling Mountain, and became Golden Cicada again; Pigsy became the Purification Envoy; a Golden Body Arhat Bodhisattva, and that Eight Celestial Dragon Horses, just hearing them brings a laugh.

Sun Wukong was a bit surprised and said, "You guessed it right, where do you come from?"

"Didn't you just say, even that Outer Heaven Evil Demon," Lu Ren said leisurely, "Victorious Buddha, I've never slaughtered innocents, haven't touched any bloodshed here, are you trying to emulate the affair of the three slaps on the White Bone Demon?"

Upon hearing Lu Ren's taunting words, Sun Wukong wasn't too happy and said, "You rascal have a way with words, didn't expect you would know even this matter. Seems like you've been keeping an eye on our Western Journey events all along."

Lu Ren was a bit surprised, in strict terms, with Sun Wukong's exploding temper, hearing Lu Ren's mockery should make him furious and swing his stick over, but unexpectedly he held it in, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to see his own strength realm compared to this world's Immortal Path at what step.

Didn't expect this Sun Wukong had become crafty and didn't fall for it.

Lu Ren said, "This time the Western Journey had the heavens' countless gods and buddhas paying attention, don't you realize that?"

Sun Wukong's expression darkened slightly upon hearing this, obviously reaching a point that made him extremely displeased, which is why throughout the Western Journey he mostly went through the motions and was unwilling to fight tooth and nail.

After all, it's working for the government. If he can't beat them, then call for reinforcements, as the Celestial Court and Ling Mountain would never stand by and watch him die.

If Monk Tang really died, at worst, they wouldn't dare shirk, and Sun Wukong saw it very clearly.

After a pause, Lu Ren squinted and said, "Actually, I have a question, I wonder if the Great Sage could enlighten me?"

Sun Wukong, although prodded by Lu Ren into unpleasant memories, indeed had a strong curiosity about Lu Ren's identity, straightforwardly said: "Tell me and let Old Sun have a look."

"I've been wondering, are you now Six-Eared, or Lingming?"

This conspiracy theory is quite hot on the internet in the present world, many believe that the Tathagata, thinking Sun Wukong was disobedient, simply made a real and fake Sun Wukong.

Otherwise, why did the Tiding remain silent and grave back then?

Hearing this, Sun Wukong's color changed abruptly, with labored breathing, his Ruyi Stick in hand was about to be picked up and go towards Lu Ren.

In the end, his eyes turned red, firmly staring at Lu Ren, he spoke slowly.

"I am, Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven!"

Not even making a move?

Lu Ren was surprised, but said no more provocations; continuing would indeed lead to a fight to the death for one side, which is not what he wanted.

"Great Sage, now that the Western Journey is over, the quantitative calamity has dissipated, and the benefits of the Buddhist and Taoist families are being redistributed, you were also given an idle position, and now are enjoying your freedom, why bother dealing with me, this Outer Heaven Evil Demon?"

Sun Wukong stared at Lu Ren for a long while, finally letting out a cynical laugh: "I really want to see what kind of storm you'll stir up here."

Lu Ren had a smile on his face: "Maybe it'll give you a lot of pleasure, who knows."

Sun Wukong stared at Lu Ren for a long while, then waved his hand somewhat disinterestedly and said: "I'm off, I'm off, true or false, false or true, myriad thoughts and myriad words of the people, what does it have to do with me, how does it matter whether I'm Six-Eared or Lingming, or maybe, I'm both Six-Eared and Lingming."

As his voice echoed, Sun Wukong had already vanished from sight, somersaulting far away.

Lu Ren's heart stirred slightly, but he made no indication, only contemplating and comparing the qi that had leaked from Sun Wukong's anger just now.

It's indeed something Lu Ren couldn't ignore, but only really emphasized.

This world probably doesn't have the likes of Primordial Saints, so Sun Wukong could be said as the top grade Celestial Immortal, called Primordial Qi of Heaven Taiyi Golden Immortal, Handsome Monkey King, and Great Sage Equal to Heaven, that's the highest realm in this age.

Yet realistically, there exists the Three Pristine Ones, the Celestial Venerables who are beyond imagination, their realm hard to fathom, although they are described little in the Journey to the West book.

But that Ancestor of the Earth Immortal Zhenyuanzi easily caught Sun Wukong with his Sleeve Universe technique, while it is said that Zhenyuanzi went up to the Thirty-Six Heavens to listen to teachings from Primordial Celestial Venerable.

Such a high-status being is absolutely an extraordinary existence here, not to mention each time the world reopens, all things are reborn, and Primordial Celestial Venerable is the preacher.

Lu Ren openly wondered but dared not think too highly, yet he managed to figure out a little meaning, the Three Pristine Ones don't meddle so long as there isn't a direct threat to the Celestial Court's orthodoxy or unless the world is collapsing, they're unlikely to come out and show their strength.

Even when Sun Wukong turned Taishang Laojun's Douluo Palace upside down, the Vajra Scepter in his hands that could leave Sun Wukong helpless is just the ring on Cyan Ox's nose.

Thinking of this, Lu Ren couldn't help but subconsciously wipe his nose, instantly extinguishing the notion of wanting to overthrow the Jade Emperor from Lingxiao Palace and sit himself up there for a spell.

After all, in the current world with the Jade Emperor, it would be you die, I live situation, here Lu Ren foolishly wanted to retaliate a little.

"Oh my!"

At this, Lu Ren clapped a thigh loudly, having focused on gossiping, completely forgetting the intent to discuss and exchange cultivation methods with Sun Wukong.

This was something that made him endlessly passionate, waiting to accumulate enough Dharma Gates, then finding a way to get some Power of Destiny, he could definitely elevate the current cultivation of the World Honored One's Heart Sutra to create a great system.

Lu Ren rubbed his hands, instantly having a goal in mind, not saying to rush to the Immortal Realm, but first visiting the mortal world's cultivation sects, maybe finding some unexpected surprises.

After all, in the Human Realm nowadays there are many Loose Immortals, Earth Immortals who don't respect or are under the Celestial Court's jurisdiction, might as well start from this aspect to take a look.

When Lu Ren thought about it, he acted; he was only two hundred miles away from Chang'an now, he had found out clearly, within this two hundred miles were three cultivation sects, with immortals from within who had gone up to the Celestial Court to take positions.
