Between the mountain folds.
Then, a monkey with a benevolent face emerged.
He looked directly at Liu Chang Kong on the other side.
In those eyes.
There was a great deal of scrutiny.
His eyes shimmered with light, as if able to see countless things.
“This desolate place, it's unexpected to have a benefactor come here.”
The old monkey slowly sat down on a nearby tree, as peaceful as a monk.
Liu Chang Kong held his steel fork tightly in his right hand.
He feigned confusion and looked at the old monkey.
“Seems like you came here to hear about Sun Wukong’s story.”
The old monkey sighed softly, explaining, “It just so happens that I have some free time today, I can tell you about the tale of Sun Wukong.”
He smoothed his sleeves.
Then, he began to recount the final story of Sun Wukong.
He was surrounded by Heavenly Soldiers led by Erlang Shen.
The Tight-箍咒 (Jin Gu Zhu) awakened, so he eventually perished at their hands.
But he was born of heaven and earth, so his soul did not perish.
He simply transformed into six spiritual objects.
“Ancient legends say,”
The old monkey slowly walked to the edge of the cliff, saying, “As long as those six spiritual objects are gathered, the Great Sage can be resurrected. However, I’m old now, and cannot see the vastness of this world any longer.”
His gaze drifted towards the distance.
It was clear that he wanted Liu Chang Kong to go and see it.
Liu Chang Kong pondered for a moment, but ultimately didn't say anything.
“Since you have come to this place of the Great Sage’s birth and death, it is destined.”
The old monkey casually grabbed a stick with his right hand, saying, “This stick is for your protection, when you travel the world, help me keep an eye out for stories of the Great Sage.”
As he spoke, he threw the stick out.
Liu Chang Kong caught it with both hands and felt its weight.
He looked closely.
He saw that the stick was made entirely of tempered copper.
Flowing clouds seemed to be etched upon it.
Just looking at it revealed its extraordinary nature.
After speaking, the old monkey vanished, leaving behind only a number of monkeys.
Liu Chang Kong pondered for a moment.
He felt there was something off about the old monkey.
“Whatever, I should go see my Master first.”
Liu Chang Kong turned back to look at the rock, then walked down the mountain.
He still had many questions.
He also wanted to see if his Master was actually Yang Erlang.
At the foot of the Flower-Fruit Mountain.
Yang Erlang stood with his hands behind his back.
His phoenix eyes looked towards the sky.
It was unclear what he was thinking.
“Master.”
Liu Chang Kong slowly walked beside Yang Erlang.
He then began to scan him.

【Sweep Away the Mud and Exalt the Clear has been activated, you can randomly select a keyword from the opponent and copy it, do you want to draw now?】
【Note: The acquired keyword can be used by yourself or applied to others.】
Seeing these luxurious keywords.
Liu Chang Kong was astonished.
It’s truly worthy of being Erlang Shen, the Manifest Saint.
The keywords were truly luxurious, with many golden keywords.
No matter which golden keyword he copied.
It would be an incredible gain.
“Master is indeed Erlang Shen!”
Liu Chang Kong simultaneously understood this in his heart, silently contemplating, “But I’m a Heaven-Mandated Person, doesn't that mean…”
He had a complex mix of emotions.
He heard the prompt to draw again.
“Draw!”
He didn’t think about it any longer.
He immediately drew a keyword.
Knowing that this was the world of Black Myth, he naturally needed to quickly become stronger!
And if he could draw a golden keyword from Erlang Shen.
Then, in this dangerous world.
He would have a little more peace of mind.
【Drawing complete, you have obtained the keyword Carrying Mountains and Chasing the Sun, please make a choice.】
Liu Chang Kong saw the drawn keyword.
He felt a surge of joy.
He immediately applied the keyword to himself.
He then began to check the keyword.
【Carrying Mountains and Chasing the Sun: Possess Erlang’s strength to carry mountains, transcend the ordinary, even with mountains on your shoulders, you can chase ten suns, greatly increasing your physical strength and speed.】
In that moment.
Liu Chang Kong felt a surge of power throughout his body.
The density of his muscles seemed to be changing.
Infinite divine power flowed, his body fundamentally transforming.
When Yang Erlang turned his head.
He saw Liu Chang Kong's body trembling slightly.
His brows furrowed slightly, and a flash of light seemed to appear between his brows.
But it quickly disappeared.
He looked up at the area above the sky.
Then, he lowered his head and said with a smile, “Looks like you have gained something while on this mountain. This stick is good, you should learn some staff techniques, it might come in handy.”
“Master…”
Liu Chang Kong wanted to hand him the stick.
Yang Erlang shook his head gently, turning around and saying, “Since you have gained something, then go and experience it. The justice or evil of this world, use your heart to feel it.”
