Chương 151: The Heaven-Mending Stone

Click to begin your wondrous journey in "The Primordial Era: Starting with Jingwei Filling the Sea".

Flower and Fruit Mountain is abundant with flowers and fruits, and between its peaks and atop its cliffs, countless ancient medicinal herbs and elixirs grow. The entire Flower and Fruit Mountain is a natural treasure trove of elixirs.

However, the fairy fruits don't come in ripe varieties. There are too many monkeys on Flower Fruit Mountain, and the fairy fruits are always picked by them as soon as they ripen. Usually, the monkeys will brew the fairy fruits they can't finish into monkey wine.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Daoist Qianyao discovered a tree hollow in a large banyan tree where monkey wine was being brewed. His face lit up with joy, and he was about to retrieve the monkey wine to drink.

Within the Jie Sect, there were many immortals who loved wine, and monkey wine was a prized delicacy among them. Coincidentally, Daoist Qianyao was one of them.

Seeing Qianyao Daojun's reaction, Fang Yang became curious and released his divine sense to probe the hole in the banyan tree. What he saw almost made him vomit up his overnight tea.

The monkey wine was indeed brewed very well, but there were many fairy fruits that had only been bitten once or twice floating in the wine. What was even more unsettling was that there were many chocolate beans that had sunk to the bottom of the wine.

Even though the monkey's chocolate beans are different from ordinary chocolate beans, and mortals can eat them to improve their health, they are still chocolate beans!

"Junior Brother Qianyao, what are you doing?"

Fang Yang gave a soft shout, directly interrupting Qian Yao Daojun's action of reaching for the wine.

Daoist Qianyao stood there, puzzled.

"Senior brother, this tree hollow contains excellent monkey wine. Judging by its age, it's over a thousand years old. In the past, I've only heard Senior Brother Zhao Gongming comment on this wine; I've never tasted it. This time, I absolutely must try it."

Upon hearing this, the other Dao Lords besides Chaotian Dao Lord stepped forward, seemingly wanting to try it as well.

Fang Yang's lips twitched, and he projected a light screen, revealing the scene inside the tree hole to everyone. To make it clearer for the immortals, he thoughtfully magnified the remaining fruit pits, monkey hair, chocolate beans, and other byproducts.

"this......"

Upon witnessing this scene, all the Great Luo Golden Immortals gasped in astonishment.

They had only heard Zhao Gongming mention the deliciousness of monkey wine, but they never imagined that the brewing process was so unique, requiring monkey hair and monkey excrement as auxiliary materials.

Just moments ago, Qianyao Daojun was drooling with desire, but now he felt a wave of nausea and vomiting.

"Senior brother, how come there are such filth in this monkey wine?!"

Fang Yang glanced at him indifferently, his tone calm but every word piercing:

"The spirit monkeys brew wine by simply throwing leftover immortal fruits into tree holes and letting them ferment on their own. The spirit monkeys don't care about cleanliness or hygiene; when they throw away the scraps, they also take care of the issue of the five grains' reincarnation."

"This so-called monkey wine is essentially an accidental brewing of remnants of immortal fruits, monkey hair, ape droppings, and many other ingredients. Otherwise, with so many immortals in the world who love wine, why is it that only monkeys can brew monkey wine?"

"However, nothing is more important than drinking. If you enjoy it, Junior Brother, you can take out the Monkey Wine and use magic to purify it of any impurities. Fine wine is rare; would you like to try some?"

"No, no, no, I won't!"

Faced with this monkey wine, which was even more sour than pickled cabbage and phlegm, Daoist Qianyao waved his hands repeatedly and took several steps back.

It's fine if someone drinks it secretly. As long as they don't care, it's not a problem.

But now that so many of his fellow disciples have seen the truth about the monkey wine, no matter how much he doesn't care or how much he wants to drink it, he can't drink it in this kind of situation.

Seeing that Daoist Qianyao was hesitant to drink, Fang Yang smiled meaningfully: "Very well, since Junior Brother Qianyao doesn't like this monkey wine, then he doesn't have to drink it! Junior Brother Chaotian, this Flower Fruit Mountain is your Daoist temple. You can collect this monkey wine and give it to the other brothers in the sect to taste later."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Chaotian understood Fang Yang's meaning. With a surge of his magical power, countless illusory figures emerged from his body and scattered in all directions. In no time, Flower Fruit Mountain was filled with Daoist Chaotian's phantom clones.

Although the monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain were numerous, they were no match for Daoist Chaotian, and they all fell into his clutches. Daoist Chaotian blew out a storm, sweeping the monkeys into the sky and blowing them toward a mortal island 650 billion miles away.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

The monkeys panicked, stretching out their claws and curling their tails, trying to grab something, but they could grasp nothing. They could only drift away with the wind, leaving their homeland, never to be monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain again.

But the actions of the Heavenly Dao Lord did not stop. He continued to stir up trouble, and the storm swept across the land. Even the monkey hair on the ground and the monkey energy that permeated the earth were separated from Flower Fruit Mountain.

At this moment, Fang Yang and Daoist Qian Yao and others stepped onto the summit of Flower Fruit Mountain and arrived in front of a Nine-Aperture Immortal Stone.

This nine-aperture immortal stone displays five colors, with its nine apertures corresponding precisely to the nine palaces. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth, as well as the essence of the sun and moon, constantly converge upon the immortal stone. Nurtured by heaven and earth, the power within the immortal stone has reached an extremely powerful level; once unleashed, even a Taiyi Golden Immortal would find it difficult to withstand.

"Senior brother, we've searched high and low without finding it, but unexpectedly, Flower Fruit Mountain is nurturing a primordial being. Once he takes human form, you can take him under your wing and pass on the lineage of Qingcheng Mountain."

With his profound cultivation, Daoist Qianyao was fully aware of the mysteries of the Nine Aperture Immortal Stone. If Fang Yang hadn't been there, he would have wanted to take the innate divine embryo within the Nine Aperture Immortal Stone as his disciple.

Fang Yang did not respond. He walked to the Nine Aperture Immortal Stone and channeled a stream of magic power into it.

He was exploring the Nine-Aperture Immortal Stone.

He had just observed it, and this Nine-Aperture Immortal Stone was indeed one of the stones left behind by the Goddess Nuwa when she mended the sky. After being refined by the Qiankun Cauldron, each of the mending stones contained the creative power of the Goddess Nuwa.

He is human, possesses the bloodline of the goddess Nuwa, and is very familiar with her power.

This is where the problem arises.

The divine stones that Nuwa used to mend the heavens could never have given birth to monkeys. So how did Sun Wukong cultivate himself into a monkey?

"This stone used to mend the heavens was not tainted by the monkey's aura."

Fang Yang withdrew his probing magic and involuntarily narrowed his eyes.

Upon hearing Fang Yang's words, Daoist Qian Yao and the others were all taken aback: "Senior Brother, what do you mean? For billions of years, Flower Fruit Mountain has been inhabited by monkeys. The Heaven-Mending Stone is surrounded by monkey energy every day, how could it not be tainted?"

"This is a remnant stone from the creation of the heavens, forged by the goddess Nuwa herself. It possesses the power of creation, and ordinary forces cannot corrupt this divine stone."

Fang Yang said this, but didn't mention Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong didn't even exist yet; he shouldn't know about this. However, he already had some guesses about Sun Wukong's situation.
