Below Mount Wuxing.

"Great Sage, wake up! I've picked the peaches you wanted!"

I slowly opened my eyes and saw the old land god sneakily holding some peaches and placing them beside me.

I took one and tasted it. Mmm, delicious!

"Great Sage, you eat first. I'll be on my way," said the old land god, wiping his hands and looking uneasily at me.

I glanced at him and nodded lightly.

And in the next moment, he vanished.

I looked up at the sky.

It had been five hundred years, and I had been trapped in this place for so long.

It was driving me crazy.

And to top it off, I had a dream that I became the Heavenly Emperor?

Tsk, is Buddha really a good person?

A good person wouldn't have kept me trapped here for so long!

"Was it really just a dream?"

I wondered to myself, feeling like that dream was so real.

Just as I was thinking this, a figure wearing a kasaya slowly approached and squatted in front of me, whispering softly,

"Monkey, is this the great world you risked your life for?"

My pupils shrank suddenly.

He smiled and revealed the face of a mortal I had seen in my dream!
