“Master, I’m stupid. Can you tell me?” Monkey asked again.

“Sigh…”

A sigh echoed in the empty cave abode.

“Wukong, everything in the world grows endlessly and returns to its source, starting from the world. Nothing can escape the laws of nature. This is Dao.

“As the saying goes, one thought leads to life and another to death. A flower that bloomed brightly under the darkness, illuminating the entire world. There will eventually be a day when it is exhausted.

“In the end, dust to dust. It’s for a world with a flower.

“You were born for the world, and the day will come when you return to the world. Do you understand?”

As he said this, Monkey’s body trembled, as if he had suffered a huge blow. He could not accept it.

Return to the world?

Looking up at the hole in the sky, the monkey finally understood its fate.

Yes, his birth was born according to the needs of the world. In the end, he would follow his fate and return to the embrace of the world. He was unwilling to end his fate like this. It was difficult for him to accept it.

Ye Qiu looked at the hesitant and uneasy him and knew that he had already entered a kind of mental struggle. He didn’t guide him but watched quietly. He knew that he would think it through in the end.

After a while, Ye Qiu said, “Wukong, you might have many doubts. Why don’t you go to the mortal world and take a look? Perhaps, you will have a different comprehension.”

Ye Qiu handed this choice to Monkey. How should he choose when he saw the current hell on earth?

No matter what he chose, Ye Qiu chose to support him. This was because from the moment he was born, he had the right to control his fate.

The monkey understood and solemnly kowtowed to the ground. He shouted with tears of grief, “Master, I have sinned greatly in my life and am unable to be filial to you. I feel guilty and only hope that I can repay you in my next life.

“I’m going. Take care, Master!”

As he kowtowed one last time, Monkey suddenly stood up, turned around, and left in grief and indignation. He wanted to find his own direction in the vast sea, find his true self, and call back the lost direction.

After he left, Ye Qiu’s true body appeared in the dark cave abode.

Looking at the messy cave abode in front of him, he shook his head and smiled bitterly. He sighed and said, “Sigh… bitter monkey, I owe you too much. The only thing I can do is perhaps save your life at this last moment.”

He believed that the monkey’s final choice would not disappoint him. He had a pure heart and was innocent. He was not a great evil person.

Ye Qiu was very confident in his disciple’s character. Unfortunately, if his choice was as Ye Qiu had expected, his life would probably be lost. He would sacrifice himself to protect all living beings in the world.

Ye Qiu didn’t force him to do such a thing. He wasn’t a saint, but he had his own selfish motives, so he gave him all the right to choose. Perhaps this was not a bad thing for him. If he survived this calamity safely, it would not be difficult for him to enjoy the blessings of the world and enjoy the incense of all generations to reconstruct his golden body.

No one knew what the future would be like.

All Ye Qiu could do was try his best to protect the people around him.

After dealing with the monkey, Ye Qiu looked at the Nine Heavens Jade Platform. In that mysterious forbidden area, there was a Three Lives Golden Lotus.

That place was also known as the Forbidden Area of Life. Over the years, countless experts have been buried there. Even Martial Monarch experts were lost in that forbidden area.

This time, Ye Qiu planned to barge in for his disciple.

With a wave of his hand, the Penglai Island in front of him trembled. It was gradually buried under the East Sea and completely fell.

Ye Qiu left the Penglai Immortal Island and headed straight for the Nine Heavens Jade Platform.

After passing through a countercurrent, Ye Qiu arrived at the Jade Platform known as the forbidden zone. At the entrance, with this light screen injected, a terrifying aura spread out, making no one dare to approach within a hundred miles.

Ye Qiu ignored this aura and rushed in.

All the hidden experts within a hundred miles panicked.

“What’s going on?”

“Could it be that someone wants to enter the Forbidden Area of Life again?”

In an instant, countless mysterious experts surged out from the forest in the surrounding secret realm.

They had been living in seclusion for many years and had always been in seclusion nearby to seek an opportunity.

Over the years, they had seen countless people barge into the forbidden area, but they were undoubtedly wiped out. None of them returned alive.

For thousands of years, no one had dared to enter the Forbidden Area of Life. Today, someone actually barged in again.

This sudden change attracted everyone’s attention.

“Haha, interesting! Who is this person? He even dares to barge into this forbidden area known as the tomb of a Martial Monarch. Is he really not afraid of death?”

Someone mocked.

In the dark fog, they could vaguely see a white figure walking with difficulty in the forbidden area.

“I can’t see it clearly. He has already entered the realm of life loss. It depends on whether he can survive this first difficulty.”

Everyone was focused on the lonely figure in the forbidden area.

At this moment, Ye Qiu had already stepped into the forbidden area. The moment he entered, a terrifying power instantly suppressed him.

Ye Qiu’s body trembled. He felt that his entire body was covered in strange runes. Under the suppression of this rune, the time flow in the surroundings seemed to have accelerated. His body began to weaken rapidly, and he gradually became old.

“Phew…”

Taking a deep breath, Ye Qiu was secretly shocked. “As expected of the forbidden area that absorbs life. It’s indeed terrifying.”

Ye Qiu looked up at the Jade Platform in front of him and the Three Lives Golden Lotus that was born in the darkness. He calmed down and continued walking forward.

This time, he had to barge in no matter what. He had no other goal than to leave his disciple a chance of survival. This was also the only thing he could do for the monkey. It could be considered his compensation for his debt to him.

After passing through the chaotic flow of time, Ye Qiu could feel that his young body had suddenly become white-haired and old. Fortunately, his current cultivation had already reached the peak of the Deva Realm. With an endless supply of vitality as support, the vitality in his body was also constantly changing. He could barely keep up with the speed of his life.

Ye Qiu barely survived the first difficulty. Otherwise, if he was at the Martial Monarch realm now, he would probably be buried here like those seniors.

Looking at the white bones in front of him, Ye Qiu took a deep breath and took another step forward.

As he took another step forward, there was a loud bang.

Under the chaos, a ferocious creature was vaguely born.

It was an ancient beast that was extremely ferocious.
