Lao Qi suddenly felt that his mind was filled with much more information, so about his master’s Cave Heaven, and so about the practice of cultivation. This greatly alleviated his sadness from parting, as knowing where his master resided ant he needn’t fear not seeing him again in the future.
Seeing that Lao Qi’s emotions had cald down, Lu Yu then left the Western Sea on a cloud mist. He had already delayed a great deal of ti in the Western Sea, and if he lingered further, he feared he might not catch up with the monkey escaping his confines.
Calculating the ti, Tang Monk estimated that he would soon arrive at Two Realms Mountain. He dared not delay at all and flew directly towards Five Elents Mountain. At these tis, Lu Yu especially envied the Monkey’s Sorsault Cloud—comparing his own skill of riding the clouds to the Sorsault Cloud felt like comparing a bicycle to a racing car, the gap was simply too large.
anwhile, as Lu Yu sped along, a monk with a compassionate deanor and handso appearance also arrived at the base of Five Elents Mountain. He heard the monkey’s shouting.
Following the voice, he then saw the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, who had been suppressed under Five Elents Mountain for five hundred years.
For so reason, Tang Monk always felt that the monkey with the face of Thunder Lord, which was so familiar to him, seed known, yet he couldn’t rember why. Nevertheless, he proceeded to ask, "Who are you, and why are you suppressed under this mountain?"
The monkey, looking at the familiar yet strange monk before him, rembered the scene of their first eting. He couldn’t believe that five hundred years had transford the vibrant Golden Cicada into this appearance.
"I am the Great Sage Equalling Heaven who caused Havoc in Heaven five hundred years ago. Having committed a grave offense, I was suppressed here by the Buddha Ancestor. Previously, a Bodhisattva Guanyin ca bearing the Buddha’s decree, heading to the Eastern Land to seek the Scripture Seeker.
I beseeched her to save , and she urged to no longer commit violence, to take refuge in Buddhism, and to diligently protect the Scripture Seeker on his pilgrimage to Western Heaven. If I succeed, there will be benefits. Thus, day and night I remain cautious, fearing every mont, simply waiting for my master to rescue and free .
I wish to protect you in your quest for the scriptures and beco your disciple."
Although the monkey said this, his mind was filled with the scene of eting Golden Cicada; the karma between this master and disciple had been determined that day, and now it was rely the right ti manifesting.
Upon hearing this, Tang Monk was overjoyed. For so reason, since he had t the monkey, his heart was filled with joy, as if he was eting an old friend from years past. The only similar feeling he had was from eting a green robe master during his childhood, thus hearing the monkey’s offer to be his disciple and escort him to Western Heaven to seek the scriptures filled him with profound joy.
"But I am rely a mortal, how could I possibly save you from your predicant?" Tang Monk couldn’t help but express his doubt.
The monkey pointed upward and said, "On top of this mountain, there’s a Golden Suppression Charm placed by Buddha Tathagata. If you just go up and lift the charm, I will be free."
Tang Monk looked up and indeed saw a Golden Suppression Charm on Five Elents Mountain, bathed in a brilliant Buddha Light, shining with six radiant characters: Om, Ma, Ni, Pad, , Hum. These were truly the sacred words of Buddhism, so he climbed all the way to the summit and approached where the Golden Suppression Charm was located.
He prostrated sincerely and prayed silently in his heart. Suddenly, a gentle breeze rose on the flat ground, gently lifting the charm into the air, and a voice from heaven said, "I am the Custodian of the Great Sage. Today his plight is fulfilled, and we will return to see Tathagata to hand in this seal."
Tang Monk and Bo Qin, who had accompanied him, hurriedly bowed in deep reverence, but the Garuda in the sky could not dare accept Tang Monk’s grand gesture and quickly ascended on a cloud mist towards Western Mount Ling.
Yet, the monkey smirked, dismissing the returning of the seal as rely an excuse to avoid his achievent of perfect rit. The seal had long been re scrap paper; it was only due to fear of Golden Cicada seeking revenge upon attaining full rit that he had conjured an excuse to dodge Tang Monk’s bow.
Tang Monk staggered down the steep mountain and, looking at the monkey still trapped under it, asked, "The charm has been lifted; how will you co out?"
The Monkey chuckled and said, "Master, you go further away so I can co out; otherwise, startling you would be my sin."
As Tang Monk complied and moved off into the distance, he soon heard the Monkey’s voice saying, "Further, even further."
It was only when the Five Elents Mountain was nearly out of sight that the Monkey’s voice faded, followed by an earth-shattering sound. A massive noise spread across the Three Realms, sending the surrounding wild beasts and birds into a frenzy as the ground began to tremble with thunderous roars.
"Open for !" the Monkey shouted loudly.
The majestic Five Elents Mountain instantly developed cracks that grew larger and larger until, with a loud bang, the whole mountain was split open by the Monkey. Huge boulders fell from the sky like teors crashing to the earth.
A massive golden silhouette appeared where the Five Elents Mountain once stood. It was a golden Monkey’s phantom, clad in Golden Armor, wearing a Golden Crown, and stepping on Cloud Shoes, looking mighty and awe-inspiring. The Monkey declared his liberation in this manner and inford the beings of the Three Realms that the Great Sage Equalling Heaven had returned.
Discerning individuals noticed early on that not only was the Monkey’s aura more impressive than before, but the Five Qi in his chest had already transford into a domain of its own, clearly a sign of the Five Qi to the Origin.
"After years of silence, Five Qi to the Origin, this Monkey’s talent is truly astonishing."
"He truly is the main character of this great calamity. Such a fate and enlightennt, yet it was still up to him to seize it."
The great beings of the Three Realms were moved, as they had already noticed that the Monkey had unknowingly reached the Five Qi to the Origin, stepping into the league of the Great Spiritual Practitioners.
Actually, Lu Yu had already unknowingly influenced the Journey to the West. If not for his guidance, allowing the Monkey to step out of his stubborn fixation in ti, he would not have reached the Five Qi to the Origin so quickly.
Without giving up on himself, the Monkey indeed practiced furiously during these five hundred years. Even in his days of seeking knowledge, he had never worked so hard, which is why the Monkey’s strength had grown far stronger than Lu Yu rembered.

However, Lu Yu just laughed heartily not far away, realizing the Monkey wasn’t showing off but rather, after being imprisoned for so many years, his clothes had long since turned to dust, leaving him no ti to cover his body, akin to streaking in front of the powerful beings of the Three Realms.
For the Monkey, who cared much about his face, this was undoubtedly torture, thus he used golden light to obscure his appearance.
Now, Lu Yu only regretted not having a cara from his past life, for capturing a photo of the Monkey at that mont would have been a profoundly aningful souvenir.
Just then, a tiger, panicked by the noise in the mountains, spotted the laughing Lu Yu. For a beast that had been hungry for many days, Lu Yu was like a piece of walking tender at, utterly delicious.
The tiger had already positioned itself for the hunt, its tiger eyes firmly fixed on Lu Yu, ready to strike.
Lu Yu laughed and clapped his hands, "The Monkey’s tiger-skin skirt is secured."
