The Six-Eared Macaque was instantly transported out of the Heavenly Dao Palace. Looking around, he realized that he had returned to the Primordial World and appeared outside Mount Ling.

He scratched his head and went straight into the mountains to seek an audience with Amitabha Buddha.

"teacher."

When the Six-Eared Macaque saw Amitabha Buddha, he hurriedly stepped forward to bow and greet him.

Amitabha Buddha glanced at the Six-Eared Macaque and laughed, "Well done! You've been blessed with good fortune."

"It's all thanks to the teacher's favor and the saintly master's blessing."

The Six-Eared Macaque scratched his head and laughed.

"Very good! Today I will bestow upon you another blessing," Amitabha Buddha said with a smile.

A glint of light flashed in the Six-Eared Macaque's eyes. "Please, teacher, speak frankly."

"Do you know about the Journey to the West?" Amitabha Buddha asked.

"This disciple understands."

The Six-Eared Macaque nodded, but he didn't know why his teacher was telling him this.

"Do you know about Sun Wukong, the eldest disciple of Jin Chanzi?" Amitabha Buddha asked again.

The Six-Eared Macaque nodded, and said with a mocking smile, "How could this disciple not know this boy? Isn't he the same stable boy who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace?"

Sun Wukong felt that his past havoc in the Heavenly Palace was a great feat, so when he went outside to introduce himself, he said, "I am the Great Sage Equal to Heaven who once wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace."

He felt extremely honored by his actions.

But the six-eared macaque found it utterly ridiculous.

The so-called havoc in the Heavenly Palace is utterly absurd. The Heavenly Court is a place where hidden masters reside, and the real experts simply haven't made a move yet.

If the Six Emperors, the Three Primal Palaces, and the Immortal Elder Yuanfu were to take action, they could probably suppress it very easily.

Even if Venus were to make a slight move, his Heavenly Palace wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

His so-called "storming up the Heavenly Palace" was nothing more than a play staged by the Buddhist sect to pressure the Heavenly Court into acting on his behalf.

This is just to fool those ignorant monsters.

But the Six-Eared Macaque was different; he clearly knew how deep the waters of the primordial world were.

After all, he was born with ears that could hear everything happening in the world.

As a fellow monkey, he naturally despised Sun Wukong, an ignorant monkey.

"Now that he has come to the West with Jin Chanzi to obtain the scriptures, once his merits are fulfilled, he will surely attain the true fruit of Buddhism and become a Buddha in his own right," Amitabha Buddha said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the disdain in the eyes of the Six-Eared Macaque vanished, replaced by envy, jealousy, and hatred.

What merit or ability does Sun Wukong possess that he has such good fortune?!

After all, Buddhism is one of the great religions of the primordial world. If one could attain enlightenment here, enjoy immeasurable merit, and become a patriarch in the human world, what a joy that would be!

Ultimately, for monsters like them, achieving enlightenment within a major sect is inherently extremely difficult...

"What? Are you envious?" Amitabha Buddha asked with a smile.

The Six-Eared Macaque chuckled awkwardly, "Master, that monkey's supernatural powers and magic are not necessarily superior to mine, so what merit do I have to attain such a high level of enlightenment!"

"In that case, go and kill him, and take his place to accomplish this great deed," Amitabha Buddha said calmly.

Upon hearing this, it was as if a thunderclap had struck the Six-Eared Macaque's ears. He never expected that his teacher would ask him to do such a thing.

However, he was a daring and unconventional person who disregarded good and evil. Despite his surprise, a strange sense of excitement rose within him.

However, he still had one last concern.

"But this journey to the West to obtain the scriptures was personally decided by the Buddha himself. Above him are two other religious leaders and saints. If I were to do this, wouldn't I offend them?"

Amitabha Buddha chuckled, "Don't worry, my disciple. If you can truly do it, I will naturally handle the matter with the two leaders. As for the Tathagata Buddha..."

He shook his head, completely disregarding the Buddha.

The Buddha was also aware that he wanted to replace Sun Wukong with the Six-Eared Macaque.

This also stemmed from a bet he made with Shakyamuni Buddha.

This was also the greatest tribulation for Sun Wukong to achieve enlightenment.

If Sun Wukong can overcome this tribulation, his future will be limitless, and he will be able to truly attain Buddhahood.

But if the Six-Eared Macaque succeeds, then everything Sun Wukong has, including his own name and even his fortune, will be taken away by the Six-Eared Macaque...

If the Six-Eared Macaque wins the final victory, according to their bet, in the future, when the Buddha Tathagata orders his disciples to perform various rituals, they must all recite the name of Amitabha Buddha to help him fulfill his great vow.

Conversely, if Sun Wukong wins, Amitabha Buddha would need to relinquish his position as one of the three leaders and hand it over to Shakyamuni Buddha.

Of course, both religious leaders and saints were aware of this bet.

Neither of them commented on this matter. Even though Sun Wukong was Zhunti Daoist's disciple, he didn't say much about it, out of respect for Amitabha Buddha.

Everything was left to the Six-Eared Macaque and Sun Wukong to solve themselves.

In a fair fight, let's see what fate has in store for both of them...

Upon hearing Amitabha Buddha's assurance, the Six-Eared Macaque's doubts vanished, and he immediately began to prepare to seize everything from Sun Wukong.

"Master, your disciple is leaving!"

The Six-Eared Macaque bowed to Amitabha Buddha one last time before leaving.

"Wait! I will bestow upon you a treasure to lend you a helping hand."

After Amitabha Buddha stopped the Six-Eared Macaque, he took out a magic staff that could stabilize the sea and handed it to him.

In the past, Yu the Great forged four magic needles to stabilize the seas, and each of the four seas obtained one.

Sun Wukong took the Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel) from the East Sea.

Amitabha Buddha, however, took the one from the Western Sea and gave it to the Six-Eared Macaque today.

The Six-Eared Macaque took the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) in his hand, shook it, and it instantly transformed into a handy iron rod. After twirling it around for a while, he bid farewell once more.

Amitabha Buddha gave one last instruction: "Your outcome this time is uncertain, but remember one thing: a calamity will soon befall you, and you will not be able to see the Tathagata."

The Six-Eared Macaque nodded, and immediately rose on his somersault cloud, heading straight east.

Lingshan.

The Great Buddha Hall.

The Buddha's pair of wise eyes can see the heavens and the earth, the three realms and the six paths.

The Six-Eared Macaque rode the clouds away from Mount Ling, which naturally could not be hidden from him.

However, he only glanced at it before looking away.

Although he hoped that Sun Wukong would win, he could not take action himself due to the bet.

Everything is up to those two monkeys to solve themselves...

Not long after, the Six-Eared Macaque found the group of pilgrims. Standing on a cloud and looking down, he immediately spotted the monkey leading the way.

As if by some unseen force, Sun Wukong felt as if he were being watched by something evil, and looked around in confusion.

Seeing this, the six-eared macaque, not wanting to alert the snake, quickly withdrew its gaze.

He then quietly followed the group, observing their every move.

He quickly found an opportunity to make his move.

It turned out that Tang Sanzang had just considered Sun Wukong an unrighteous and immoral person because Sun Wukong had killed the bandits. Ignoring the advice of Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie, he cruelly drove Sun Wukong away.

Left with no other option, Sun Wukong had to seek advice from Guanyin Bodhisattva.

The six-eared macaque, who had been watching from the sidelines for a long time, knew that his chance had finally come...
