"What's so hard about that?"
Monkey King nodded: "As long as you promise not to eat humans again, I'll take you away"
"This …"
The brambles on the ground trembled: "I can't do that"
"Why can't you?"
"I'm a hygienic graveyard, for 10,000 years, it's the human flesh that nourished me"
The bramble demon replied: "I also don't want to eat humans, but I've been eating humans for as long as I can remember. I only know how to eat humans, if I don't, I'll starve to death"
Monkey King shook his head: "Then I can't take you away"
"Great Sage, I can deal with this demon by myself, but I can't stop it from eating humans"
Zhenwu Emperor's voice suddenly resounded in Monkey King's ears.
He continued: "Great Sage is ever-changing, an expert in avatar techniques, you can help me protect the people of Jingluo"
"Very well"
Monkey King nodded and raised his right hand.
As he did, the sky suddenly lit up.
Zhenwu Emperor looked up and saw countless rays of light descending from the sky, piercing through the entire Jingluo country in the blink of an eye.
"It really is the power of a Heavenly Emperor"
Thinking so, Zhenwu Emperor's feet suddenly burst into flames, burning away the bramble.
He drew his sword, turned into a ray of light, and flew towards King City.
The humans in King City were already blinded by the rays of light descending from the sky.
By the time they reacted, they saw numerous flaming swords stabbed into the ground, cutting off the brambles on their feet.
"Don't move, I'll get rid of this demon!"
Zhenwu Emperor's voice came from the sky.
The humans of King City all knelt on the ground, not daring to move.
When Monkey King flew into King City, Zhenwu Emperor and the bramble demon's battle had already begun.
The battle took place in the royal palace, where explosions could be heard one after another. Giant bramble demons rose from the ground, almost covering the entire sky.
The Monkey King waved his right hand, and a circle of light enveloped the sky above King City. Only then did the bramble demon not vent its anger on the humans.
He quietly watched the battle in front of him. After the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, the bramble demon finally fell under the sword of Zhenwu Emperor.
The flames ignited the Bramble Demon's body, like a blazing sun, roasting the entire King City.
A ray of light flew out from the Bramble Demon's body.
The Monkey King waved his hand, and the light was sucked into his hand.
It was a small blood-red thorn.
"Great Sage."
Not long after, the Zhenwu Emperor flew over and said, "That's the monster's Primordial Essence. Quickly crush it."
The Monkey King shook his head. "It's not a bad person. It's just its nature."
He spoke to the fearful Bramble Demon: 「 Your body is too large, you won't be able to survive without eating humans. Why don't you stay by my side like this, your desire to eat humans will naturally disappear 」
The Bramble Demon trembled, but in the end, it didn't say anything and wrapped itself around the Monkey King's wrist.
The Monkey King smiled in relief.
The Zhenwu Emperor sheathed his sword and sighed softly. He didn't say anything else.
On the ground, the King of Jingluo rushed over with his officials. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Thank you, Demon-Buster Patriarch, thank you, Great Emperor!"
They chanted the name of the Zhenwu Emperor.
The Zhenwu Emperor shook his head. "This is my duty. No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank him instead."
The King looked up at the Monkey King, not knowing what to say.
After a while, he finally mustered up his courage.
"Thank you, Celestial Thearch."
With the King taking the lead, the officials followed suit.
"Thank you, Celestial Thearch!"
Then, the mortals on the street also kowtowed in gratitude to the Monkey King.
The Celestial Thearch's name resounded throughout the entire Jingluo Nation.
This scene made the Monkey King feel a little emotional.
He turned to look at the Zhenwu Emperor, only to see that he didn't look displeased.
Could it be …
The Monkey King had a thought.
Before he could say anything, the Zhenwu Emperor had already turned and flew away.
The Monkey King followed and saw the Zhenwu Emperor leave the Jingluo Nation.
The huge mountain that protected the Jingluo Nation gradually shrank amidst the rumbling sounds. When the Zhenwu Emperor passed by, it turned into a huge snake and followed behind him.
"Great Emperor."
The Monkey King caught up with the Zhenwu Emperor and asked, "Since you're awake, why don't you return to Mount Huaguo?"
The Zhenwu Emperor glanced at him.
"Compared to Mount Huaguo, the North Continent needs me more."
He had already regained his memories.
The Zhenwu Emperor looked down at the precipitous cliff beneath his feet.
Among all the continents, the North Continent was the most dangerous, the place with the most demons and the most desolate.
"Great Sage, how many demons do you think there are in the North Continent?"
The Zhenwu Emperor asked.
The Monkey King fell silent for a moment. "Countless."
The dangers of the North Continent were beyond the imagination of the world.
There were demons everywhere. It was precisely because he had risen from such an environment that the Zhenwu Emperor was known as the Nine Heavens Demon-Destroying Patriarch.
"In this life, the spirit mountain has not been relocated."
The Zhenwu Emperor said, "It is my responsibility that no one is guarding the North Continent."
The Monkey King stopped flying and looked at the Zhenwu Emperor's back. "What will it take for the Great Emperor to return?"
"The Great Sage wants me to serve him. I have to get rid of the demons here."
The Zhenwu Emperor turned and smiled. "If you can change the North Continent, I will naturally submit to you again."
"I understand."
The Monkey King nodded, turned, and flew toward Mount Huaguo.
Under the setting sun, the golden light quickly disappeared into the distance.
"Great Emperor."
The huge snake circled its body in the air. "Will the Great Sage become a good Heavenly Emperor?"
The Zhenwu Emperor shook his head. "If he can't do it."
He looked at the endless land in the distance and said, "Then, there is probably no one in this world who can do it."
The Jade Emperor did not change the North Continent. The Monkey King was the only person who could change this place.
"In this life …"
The Zhenwu Emperor was looking forward to it. "What will this place become?"
At the very least, it should not be the so-called Pure Land of Bliss.
On Mount Huaguo, the Monkey King descended from the sky.
"Brother, how is the situation in the North Continent?"
Ao Luan was the first to come forward to welcome him.
"I will tell you later."
The Monkey King said, "Now, I have something to confirm."
"What is it?"
Ao Luan was a little puzzled.
However, the Monkey King did not answer her. He only said, "Call the people who are the most outstanding in learning the Heavenly Dao of Ten Thousand Spirits in the past two years. I will question them."
"Yes."
Although Ao Luan did not understand, she still called some young people over.
These young people had only learned the Heavenly Dao of Ten Thousand Spirits for two years, but some of them had already mastered the power to cast Dharma spells.
The Monkey King knew what was going on the moment he saw them.
"When you were learning the Heavenly Dao, did anything unusual happen?"
The Monkey King asked.
"Unusual?"
The young people thought about it and shook their heads.
"Then, did you feel familiar?"
The Monkey King asked again.
"That's true."
The young people immediately replied, "Occasionally, when we encountered some difficulties, it was as if we had done it before. We learned it very quickly."
Moreover, the more knowledge they learned, the easier it was for them to understand. It was as if they had learned it before.
"That's true!"
The Monkey King could not help but be secretly delighted when he heard that.
After he asked the young people to leave, Ao Luan looked at him in surprise.
"Brother, could it be that …"
"Yes."
The Monkey King nodded. "Learning the Heavenly Dao of Ten Thousand Spirits might help them regain their memories."
