The Golden Armored Deity and Zixia transford into a streak of golden light and fled eastward, completely vanishing from sight.

“What a trick!”

The Six Demons were now far too preoccupied with Li Ping’an to care about Zixia, who had been rescued by the Golden Armored Deity.

“Damn it, I haven’t even boarded yet!”

Li Ping’an felt a mix of joy and anger, joy that Zixia had been saved, but anger that the Golden Armored Deity hadn’t saved him as well.

However, by then it was too late for regrets—the Six Demons, though gravely injured, didn’t cry out in pain. Instead, they communicated telepathically and, one after another, raised their palms toward Li Ping’an, shooting out even more black lines that completely ensnared and wrapped around the Five-colored Golden Lotus protecting him.

By the end, Li Ping’an, along with the entire Five-colored Lotus, was swathed in the black tendrils, trapped in a boundless darkness.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The Five-colored Lotus, compressed by the black tendrils, looked as if it was about to shatter, and all other Divine Skills were useless against the Six Demons. Li Ping’an yelled in agony:

“Damn, I can’t hold out much longer!”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than there was a loud bang. The protective Five-colored Golden Lotus instantly shattered and disappeared without a trace, and countless black lines were about to envelop Li Ping’an. If the black lines ensnared him, he would beco nothing more than a puppet of The Six Demons of Five Fingers Mountain!

“It’s over! I’m going to die!”

At the critical mont, when Li Ping’an was about to be controlled by the black tendrils, the Great Sage Life-Protecting Talisman hidden in his sleeve suddenly flew out and stuck to his forehead.

Instantly, dazzling golden light burst forth from Li Ping’an’s body, shooting up to the Doufu. The black lines, upon encountering the golden light, recoiled as if they were mice scurrying away from the light, and the demonic mist over Five Fingers Mountain dissipated, revealing a clear sky for thousands of miles.

“This is…”

Li Ping’an and the Six Demons of Five Fingers Peak exclaid in unison.

“Freeze!”

But in the next mont, countless beams of golden light erged from Li Ping’an’s body, materialized, and cast an Immobilization Curse on the shocked Six Demons of Five Fingers Peak.

The whole scene, including Muqiang Baoshan, was frozen in place, as lifeless as walking corpses, with dull eyes and mories ceased at that mont.

“My Great Sage’s Protection Talisman?”

Li Ping’an said, ecstatic to be free. He floated to the ground and focused on the materialized golden light:

Before him was a monkey. He wore a pair of Lotus Fiber Cloud-stepping Boots, was clad in Golden Chain Mail, and adorned with a Phoenix Feather Purple Gold Crown on his head. He wielded the Ruyi Golden Staff in his hand and wore a flowing cloak embroidered with the four golden characters “Great Sage Equalling Heaven” on his back.

“So it is the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong!”

Li Ping’an exclaid in surprise and approached to have a closer look. The verse read:

His na shakes the universe, once battled against millions of soldiers, the Golden Monkey fiercely wields the Thousand-jun Rod, the heavens clear and the air purifies for thousands of miles, today let’s cheer for Sage Sun, for demons are rampant everywhere.

Surely the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong, with his Fiery Golden Eyes could see all the demons in the human realm, and his Ruyi Golden Staff sweeps away all the injustices in the world. His entire being emanates auspicious mist that reaches to the sky, his feet tread on radiant light that spreads across the earth, unmoved he is like an angry Vajra, and in the blink of an eye, like Buddha descending to earth, his grandeur, truly formidable.

“Great Sage Lord?”

This was the first ti Li Ping’an had seen the living Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong. Seeing that he had cast an Immobilization Spell on The Six Demons of Five Fingers Mountain and hadn’t moved since, out of curiosity, Li Ping’an waved his hand in front of the still figure. The Great Sage remained motionless, his eyes closed and a sorrowful expression on his face.

“Turns out he sprang from the talisman, just to protect completely—it’s a residual spirit, not a living one…”

Li Ping’an felt sowhat disappointed; however, he was imnsely grateful to the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong, for his assistance in subduing the Six Demons of Five Fingers Peak. After paying three deep respects, Li Ping’an turned to face those detestable Six Demons of Five Finger Mountain.

“You were seeking , the Destined One, right? You wanted to kill , so I shall liberate your souls first!”

Li Ping’an leaped up fifteen feet, staff raised high, ready to strike down the Six Demons of Five Fingers Peak. Just as his Hundred Plays Steel Rod was about to hit the head of ‘Ear Hears Anger,’ he heard a clang.

“Hmm?”

Li Ping’an pondered how the Six Demons of Five Fingers Peak, ‘Eye Sees Joy,’ ‘Ear Hears Anger,’ ‘Nose Slls Love,’ ‘Tongue Tastes Thought,’ ‘Opinion and Desire,’ ‘Body’s Inherent Worry,’ along with Muqiang Baoshan, were all immobilized – which ally could it be? Shocked, he focused and saw that his Hundred Plays Steel Rod was t by the Ruyi Golden Staff, and the person thwarting him was none other than the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong himself.

“Great Sage, you’re alive?”

Li Ping’an was greatly surprised and questioned further,

“Great Sage Lord, if you are alive, why do you stop from killing these six demons?”

“Silly fool! Watch my skills! Dream Marriage!”

The Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong, imdiately used his Fiery Golden Eyes on Li Ping’an. Suddenly, Li Ping’an’s consciousness entered a fantasy realm that Sun Wukong had constructed for him.

The fantasy realm was boundless, its limits unseen, with the universe’s stars and gentle waterscape spread everywhere. In the midst of it stood a bodhi tree, under which Li Ping’an sat. The Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong, dashed towards him from afar, his lower body transforming into auspicious clouds and floating before Li Ping’an.

“Great Sage, why do you stop ?”

Li Ping’an asked.

“It’s not I who stop you, it is you who stop yourself!”

“I stop myself?”

Li Ping’an, puzzled, scratched his head,

“Great Sage, are you joking? Clearly, it was you who stopped from slaying the demons!”

Sun Wukong floated to Li Ping’an’s left side and said,

“Because I am you, Li Ping’an!”

“What? You are ? I am you? Great Sage, are you confused?”

“Ha ha ha ha! Sit tight, listen to my slow explanation!”

The Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong, pointed in front of Li Ping’an and suddenly, an illusion appeared, showing the scene of the battle between the true and false Sun Wukong,

“‘Eye Sees Joy,’ ‘Ear Hears Anger,’ ‘Nose Slls Love,’ ‘Tongue Tastes Thought,’ ‘Opinion and Desire,’ ‘Body’s Inherent Worry’ are the Six Dusts of Heaven and Earth. Destroy them to see the true heart!”

“Yet these Six Demons occupy Five Finger Mountain, on behalf of the Demon, to kill you. These are but the demons’ clones, not their true forms. If you destroy these clones, their true forms will inevitably co, and with your current strength, you will surely die!”

Only then did Li Ping’an have a mont of realization,

“No wonder Muqiang Baoshan and Zixia could inflict damage on the Six Demons, and when the demons were hurt, they didn’t bleed but released Demonic Qi instead. So it was their astral bodies! Thank you, Great Sage!”

Li Ping’an expressed his gratitude with a bow, but he fixed his gaze on the illusion of the true and false Sun Wukong before him and wondered aloud,

“Why do you show this, Great Sage? And why say that I am you, and you are ?”

The Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong, then floated to the right side of Li Ping’an and explained,

“All living creatures within the universe have the Six Dusts, which are ‘Eye Sees Joy,’ ‘Ear Hears Anger,’ ‘Nose Slls Love,’ ‘Tongue Tastes Thought,’ ‘Opinion and Desire,’ ‘Body’s Inherent Worry.’

“Before I, Old Sun, cut off the Six Dusts and went to Spirit Platform Fangcun Mountain, Cave of Slanting Moon and Three Stars to seek discipleship and learn the arts, I had traveled the world, carefree amidst mortal life, not wanting to be tainted by this turbid world, to avoid being contaminated by the Six Dusts and thus fostering a double-mindedness.”
