Fantasy: I'm Really Not A Supreme Master!

Western Heaven, Brahma Court.

The endless Fan Tu always shimmered with compassionate golden light, illuminating all beings.

Within Fan Tu, in a certain Secret Realm, there stood a vast mountain.

The mountain was like five fingers, as if containing endless Secret Force.

From afar, atop the highest peak of the Five Elements Mountain, there were six characters of the Brahma Sect gleaming with Myriad Dao of golden light:

Om, Ma, Ni, Pa, Me, Hum!

This was the renowned Five Elements Mountain of the Brahma Sect.

Surrounding the Five Elements Mountain was desolate land.

Yet, at the base of the Five Elements Mountain, a monkey was being suppressed.

The monkey's body was crushed under the mountain, with only its monkey head and two arms exposed, as if it had been there for countless years, its fur wildly overgrown and leaves scattered in its hair.

"The peaches in front of the mountain have ripened thousands of times... Thousands of years have passed, why, has master not come yet..."

The monkey scratched its face with its hands, apparently growing impatient.

The bleak cold wind blew past, and the monkey sighed deeply, whispering:

"I, Zhexingsun... am ultimately just an imitator. The story has ended, perhaps, no bald heads will come here to save me..."

In its monkey eyes, there seemed to be a deep sense of loss.

Suddenly, as if perceiving something, it manifested its six ears at once, looking into the distance.

"Brahma Ancestor, old man, have you come to bring your grandfather Zhexingsun some food and drink?"

The monkey spoke.

As its voice fell, a Lotus Platform suddenly appeared in the space before it.

A Twelve-ranked Golden Lotus Platform, sacred and supreme.

Brahma Ancestor sat cross-legged on the Lotus Platform, benevolent and solemn, with Brahma light radiating, as if the savior of all ages.

On each side of the Brahma Ancestor stood two little bald acolytes, with each of them holding a Jade Vial in their hands.

——During the years that Zhexingsun was being suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain, every five hundred years, the Brahma Court would send someone to bring copper and iron juices for Zhexingsun to consume.

These copper and iron juices could prolong Zhexingsun's life.

Of course, they also continuously weakened and harmed Zhexingsun's body.

The Brahma Ancestor looked indifferently at the monkey beneath the mountain and said:

"Should I call you Zhexingsun, or should I call you Lu Shoushi?"

Lu Shoushi was the monkey's original name, Zhexingsun was the name it gave itself later.

Zhexingsun said:

"You can call me Grandpa."

The Brahma Ancestor's expression remained indifferent, serene without changing, and he said mildly:

"After being suppressed for so many years, drinking copper and iron juices, it seems your temper has still not changed."

Zhexingsun said:

"Brahma Ancestor, old man, stop beating around the bush, speak, what's the scheme this time!"

The Brahma Ancestor sighed softly and said:

"Monkey, the Brahma Sect is compassionate. I wish to guide you towards becoming a Saint."

"Your natural talent is something I truly cherish..."

"As long as you faithfully convert to me, I will grant you a supreme opportunity, not only will I release you from the pressure of this Five Elements Mountain, but I will also lead you past the Imperial challenges, how about it?"

His face was filled with solemn compassion, and his words brimmed with a kind of authority that brooked no questioning.

However, Zhexingsun just burst into loud laughter, his voice shaking the leaves off the trees on the entire mountain.

"Brahma Ancestor, stop your false compassion. Do you really think I can't see the fresh blood upon your Twelve-ranked Golden Lotus Platform?"

"You should be thrown into boiling oil even before those evil ghosts of the Dead Soil!"

Zhexingsun mocked to the extreme.

Upon hearing this, the Brahma Ancestor seemed to be filled with disappointment. With a slight sigh, he fell silent, staring at the Six-Eared Macaque for a long time before suddenly saying:

"The Six-Eared Macaque Tribe once had a significant origin."

"During the ancient Calamity Epoch, one of the Ten Spirits, the Divine Monkey, was tainted by a strange grey fog and turned into a stone statue..."

He spoke slowly and deliberately:

"To my knowledge, that statue was guarded by the Six-Eared Macaque Tribe... and you, you are the guardian of the seven thousand two hundred and thirteenth generation, aren't you?"

Hearing this, the monkeys at the base of the Five Elements Mountain flashed with a sharp light in their eyes!

They looked towards the Brahma Ancestor and said with a fierce voice:

"How do you know this?!"

At that moment, Zhexingsun seemed to be trembling.

Out of anger, out of the memory of a certain event.

——The Six-Eared Macaque Tribe was born between heaven and earth, and since ancient times, their extremely important mission was to guard a stone statue.

It was... a statue of one of the Ten Spirits from the ancient Calamity Era, a divine monkey that defied the heavens!

In the ancestral teachings passed down by the elders of the Six-Eared Macaque Tribe, that divine monkey once looked far into the future with its great magical power and proclaimed that one day it would return to fight the heavens again.

The Six-Eared Macaque Tribe has always guarded the statue of that Divine Monkey, waiting for that day to arrive.

This was a secret.

A secret only known to the Six-Eared Macaque Tribe.

But, ten thousand years ago, the Six-Eared Macaque Tribe suffered a catastrophe!

A supremely powerful being broke into the ancestral home of the Six-Eared Macaque Tribe and pressed towards their most secret place, intent on seizing that stone statue.

In that battle, the Venerables of the Six-Eared Macaque Tribe were all slain, and the entire tribe was nearly decimated, almost wiped out...

At that time, it was Zhexingsun... who through some unspeakable method, quelled that calamity and annihilated that powerful being.

But when Zhexingsun killed that being, he discovered that the powerful entity was merely a clone...

That battle cost the Six-Eared Macaque Tribe dearly, and Zhexingsun's own daughter sacrificed her life...

After that battle, Zhexingsun rose defiantly against fate, becoming the most dazzling existence in the Demon Realm since ancient times. Even before becoming an emperor, he was already unrivaled in the world, creating those earth-shattering incidents.

He established Flower-Fruit Mountain, refined the Sea-Calming Divine Needle from the East Sea into an iron rod, shattered Lingxiao, and made the Divine Realm of the Thirty-Three Heavens tremble...

All of this began with the catastrophe of the Six-Eared Macaque.

Only Zhexingsun himself knew that his battles across the heavens were not only in emulation of the tale he had heard but also in search of that enemy.

That enemy who had wrought such devastation upon the Six-Eared Macaque Tribe and even caused the loss of his daughter.

He could never forget that enigmatic being, shrouded in divine light, stepping over the bodies of his tribespeople...

Indeed, he even initiated the great war with the Demon God for the sake of vengeance!

For the aura of that enemy originated from the Imperial Court and the divine skills displayed were also from the Imperial Court.

But in that war with the Demon God, he was defeated and suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain by the Brahma Ancestor...

All along, Zhexingsun has always believed that the powerful being who massacred countless of his Six-Eared Macaque kin came from the Imperial Court.

But now...

The Brahma Ancestor also knew the secret of the Six-Eared Macaque Tribe?!

Zhexingsun's heart was tumultuous with towering waves, his suspicions incredibly intense.

Only those who knew the Six-Eared Macaque Tribe's most confidential secrets… could have orchestrated that massacre of yesteryear.

Yet, at this moment, Brahma Ancestor actually smiled.

"When the yellow smoke rises, the beacons of war calm; as Samsara emerges, the evil spirits are emptied... The turmoil returns, battling through all the heavens!"

Brahma Ancestor slowly spoke, saying,

"These were the last words left by that Divine Monkey."

"Do you know that its last words have now been fulfilled?"

"Just a few days ago, Samsara began anew, and now, within the Ghost Domain, not a single ghostly being remains."

Upon hearing this, Zhexingsun was even more shocked, his pupils constricting.

Samsara has reappeared?

Could it be... this epoch, the Six-Eared Macaque Tribe would finally wait, wait for the return of that Divine Monkey?

At the same time, doubts in Zhexingsun's heart grew denser. He lifted his eyes, staring at Brahma Ancestor, and shouted,

"You bald donkey, are you the one who launched an attack on our tribe's secret sanctuary all those years ago, creating an endless massacre?"

His voice was fierce, filled with rage.

Brahma Ancestor… knew too much, arousing Zhexingsun's suspicions.

Brahma Ancestor let out a slight sigh, saying,

"Regarding the events of the past… I am truly sorry."

"Sorry for not killing you, but instead allowing you, against all odds, to rise to power…"

He had no intention of concealing it, looking at Zhexingsun, he said,

"Even to this day, I am still curious, how exactly did you annihilate that clone of mine back then?"

He… admitted to it!

In that moment, rage flooded Zhexingsun's eyes. His teeth almost shattered with the force of his bite, veins on his entire body protruding violently as he struggled fiercely, almost as if he was about to break free from beneath the Five Elements Mountain!

"So it was you... it was you all along!"

"Brahma Ancestor, I, Lu Shoushi, will not rest until I have killed you a thousand, ten thousand times!!"

The entire Five Elements Mountain trembled with Zhexingsun's struggles.

But Brahma Ancestor simply raised his hand indifferently.

Upon the Five Elements Mountain, the six great characters of the Brahma light shone brightly.

Om, Ma, Ni, Pad, Me, Hum!

Zhexingsun, despite his fury, could only be suppressed.

Blood dripped from the corners of his mouth, his eyes aflame with anger and hate, incredibly intense.

Brahma Ancestor sighed slightly, saying, "This secret... I hadn't planned on letting you know."

"It's just unfortunate that as Samsara emerged, it just passed by me, and I failed to enter it... That stone statue of the Divine Monkey was my only chance."

He looked at Zhexingsun, and said,

"Tell me, where did you hide the most confidential location after the battle back then?"

"Speak, and I'll give you a chance, a chance to fight me. How does that sound?"

"Don't you want to kill me? Want revenge?"

"One secret in exchange for one opportunity to kill me, quite fair, isn't it?"

His words were indifferent.

Zhexingsun's eyes were full of murderous intent, grinding his teeth, he desperately wanted to fight!

But he took a deep breath and said,

"Brahma Ancestor, fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me, Zhexingsun."

"Years ago, your clone masqueraded as a powerful being from the Divine Court, tricking me into waging a great war against the Divine Realm, and in the end, you reaped all the benefits... This time, don't even think about it!"

"The secret location... you'll never find out where it is!"

Upon hearing this, Brahma Ancestor couldn't help feeling a little regretful, and said,

"Really?"

"Don't you even care about your daughter?"

He flicked his finger.

Suddenly, in the midst of the area, a crystal coffin appeared.

Inside the coffin lay a young girl.

She was clothed in a golden dress, her delicate features beautiful, with six clear and cute ears.

The girl appeared to be in a deep sleep, her eyes closed, hands folded over her chest, her right wrist bearing a bloodstain that had not yet dried.

Seeing the girl… Zhexingsun was momentarily stunned.

His eyes were filled with shock and outrage!

"The body of my daughter... Brahma Ancestor, you despicable and shameless old fool!"

Zhexingsun roared tremblingly.

After the battle those many years ago, his daughter had died, but with his great magical power, he preserved her body because he always believed that her life force had not been completely extinguished and that one day she might awaken!

His daughter… who should be guarded by the most formidable Venerables of his tribe, how did she end up in the hands of Brahma Court?

Brahma Ancestor, seeing Zhexingsun's fury, revealed a satisfied smile.

"Tell me, where is the Six-Eared Macaque Tribe's secret location?"

"Where is the stone statue of that Divine Monkey?"

"Otherwise, I will have the animals of this world feast upon your daughter's body right before your eyes..."

"Don't forget, her body is not yet dead, there's still life within."

Brahma Ancestor's face was filled with anticipation, saying,

"Such a beautiful body, to be used for the world's filthy, stinking animals to enjoy… Wouldn't that be such a pity?"

Zhexingsun seemed to tremble violently upon hearing this.

He looked at the girl in the coffin, his eyes brimming with hot tears, his teeth clenched in rage!

...

Meanwhile.

In the Forty-Ninth Star Field.

Ao Wushuang, accompanied by several Venerables, advanced.

Ahead was the Great Ruins Realm.

Cold sweat couldn't help but bead on Ao Wushuang's face!

Was he about to see that strange little village again, meet those sinister people...

"Ao Wushuang... don't be afraid, it should be fine this time,"

Lu Cailing seemed to notice Ao Wushuang's nervousness and couldn't help but gently hold his hand.

Ao Wushuang looked down only to notice, on Lu Cailing's right wrist, there was a blood-red line like blood...

...
