Although he was bloodthirsty, it was only because the clone amplified a certain aspect of Sun Wukong's personality, and not because he was indiscriminately bloodthirsty.
To give a simple example, he is like a killing god on the battlefield, but outside the battlefield, he will not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
Therefore, Sun Wukong was quite regretful about being controlled by murderous thoughts.
Chu Yang narrowed his eyes and asked, "This world seems lifeless to me. You didn't kill all the living beings in this world, did you?"
Sun Wukong paused for a moment, then shook his head, pointed to the golden headband pattern on his forehead, and said:
"Although I was influenced by the thought of killing at the time, I did not completely lose my rationality, and besides, I still have the Buddha-nature in my blood."
Chu Yang didn't say anything more, but waited for what would happen next. Since Sun Wukong hadn't been completely controlled by the killing intent, there must be another reason why he ended up in this state.
Sun Wukong glanced at a stone sculpture in the main hall, then sighed and said:
"After arriving here, I suppressed my murderous intent and searched for a way back."
"Finally, I accidentally discovered an extremely special inheritance here and learned about the history of this world."
"This world was once teeming with powerful beings, but it was invaded by the demon race. In the end, to drive out the demon race, ninety percent of the beings in this world voluntarily sacrificed themselves, just to forge an unparalleled god of slaughter through a blood sacrifice!"
"They succeeded, but they also failed."
Sun Wukong didn't continue speaking, but Chu Yang had already guessed what would happen next.
Success, of course, means driving out the demon race, and those so-called demon race are most likely extraterrestrial evil races.
As for the failure, it's probably because the god of slaughter completely lost his mind and ultimately wiped out all living beings in the world.
Sun Wukong took a deep breath and said, "When he fell, the God of Slaughter regained his sanity and left his legacy here, hoping that future generations would inherit his legacy and find the source of the demonic chaos and wipe out the demon race!"
Sun Wukong looked helpless. "Moreover, only by inheriting his legacy can one leave this world."
"So I accepted the inheritance, but I couldn't withstand the influence of the killing intent, and could only barely suppress it with the Buddha-nature in my blood."
Chu Yang nodded. Sun Wukong was still Sun Wukong after all. No matter how much his bloodlust was amplified, it could not cover up his humanity, or rather, the other brilliance within his divinity.
However, Sun Wukong's condition is obviously very poor right now. Although the golden headband pattern has temporarily suppressed his murderous intent, he will inevitably be controlled by it again once he fights with someone.
Chu Yang couldn't keep using [Tianque] to suppress him forever, so he had to find a solution.
For a moment, even Chu Yang felt a headache coming on. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly said:
"Is it possible to turn adversity into prosperity, combine with Buddha-nature, and attain enlightenment through killing?"
Sun Wukong's eyes narrowed, and he nodded, saying, "Theoretically speaking, this method is indeed feasible."
"But if you take even the slightest wrong step, you will be doomed!"
"If I keep losing control, it could lead to irreparable consequences!"
Chu Yang waved his hand and said, "It's alright, go ahead and try your best. If things don't work out, I'll end you myself."
"But don't worry, I have a way to save all your data and allow you to be reborn in an alternative way."
The so-called rebirth is to create a clone and implant data that was not present.
In this way, the new clone and the current Sun Wukong will be identical except for their strength and cultivation.
"But... I, Old Sun, only kill those who deserve to die. Where am I supposed to find so many people who deserve to die for me to kill?" Sun Wukong hesitated.
Chu Yang chuckled, looked up at the outside of the hall, and said softly, "Since the extraterrestrial evil race has been here before, even though this world has been completely sealed, they were still able to find a spatial rift leading to the outside world."
“I can send you into it. There are no innocent people among the extraterrestrial evil races.”
"However, if you've completely lost control by the next time we meet, I won't hesitate to take action."
Sun Wukong took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "No problem! What do I, Old Sun, have to fear from death?"
"Then wait for my news here!" Chu Yang stood up and walked out of the hall.
Searching for spatial rifts was not a difficult task for Chu Yang. Wherever he went, if there were any spatial rifts, he would be able to find them immediately.
At his speed, it would only take him a few days at most to conduct a comprehensive search of this world.
Chu Yang was so confident that he could find the spatial rift leading to the outer realm because he and Sun Wukong had both come here through the spatial rift of the Dou Qi Continent.
Since there exists a spatial rift that connects the Dou Qi Continent and this world, there must also be spatial rifts that connect to the outer realms.
Over five days, Chu Yang traversed most of the land and rivers of this world and finally found his target.
Standing amidst the spatial storm, gazing at the turbulent spatial currents ahead, Chu Yang murmured, "There is no turning back from here. It's either complete annihilation or a metamorphosis."
“You now have another option, which is to give up the inheritance. I can help you break free from it.”
Sun Wukong shook his head calmly and said, "Since I have taken on the responsibility of this realm, how can I give up halfway?"
"Those extraterrestrial evil races treat human life like dirt. Even if I, Old Sun, am consumed by murderous intent, I will definitely turn the world upside down!"
Chu Yang smiled and nodded. Just as he had thought, Sun Wukong was still the same Sun Wukong. Even as a clone, he still couldn't hide his deep-seated hatred of evil.
I'm afraid this guy chose to prove his path through killing, probably not for his own sake, but to slaughter those extraterrestrial evil races.
Gathering his thoughts, Chu Yang raised his hand and made a loose grasp.
Amidst the spatial turbulence, he forcibly tore open a tiny spatial rift.
The gap widened until it was large enough for one person to pass through, at which point Chu Yang looked at Sun Wukong.
Without hesitation, Sun Wukong leaped into the space, his voice echoing intermittently through the spatial storm.
"See you later!"
These four simple words are filled with murderous intent and confidence!
Chu Yang stared at the spatial rift until it slowly closed before turning and leaving.
…………
On the outer edge of the Beast Domain of the Dou Qi Continent.
Chu Yang, carrying Tang Huo'er, flew towards the center of Zhongzhou while asking with a smile, "What's your impression of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan?"
Tang Huo'er replied softly, "They are very proud, but also very smart. They are ambitious, but they know how to assess the situation."
"It is a double-edged sword. If used well, it can be invincible, but if used poorly, it will backfire."
Chu Yang nodded and said, "That's right, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan is worth paying attention to. Their main clan is a force not to be underestimated."
"The main clan?" Tang Huo'er was stunned, somewhat confused.
Chu Yang smiled and said, "Whether it is the Ancient Void Dragon, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, or the Ancient Dragon Phoenix, in the final analysis, they are all just derivative bloodlines of true dragons and true phoenixes."
Tang Huo'er looked shocked. "Teacher, could there really be true dragons and phoenixes in this world?"
Chu Yang said meaningfully, "Although the Dou Qi Continent is very large, it is just a tiny speck of dust in the myriad worlds."
This was the first time Tang Huo'er had heard of the concept of "all the heavens and myriad worlds." She understood some things but not others, and found them somewhat unbelievable.
Over the next two weeks, the master and disciple visited the Tianming Sect, Ice River Valley, Starfall Pavilion, Wind and Thunder Pavilion, Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, and Yellow Springs Pavilion.
Among the visible forces in Zhongzhou, the most powerful are the One Palace, One Tower, Two Sects, Three Valleys, and Four Directions Pavilion.
Since both Danta and Burning Smoke Valley are our own people, there's no need to go to the trouble of visiting them again.
Besides these, only Hua Zong and Yin Gu remain.
The former was deliberately left for last by Chu Yang, while the latter was the most mysterious force in Zhongzhou, which would not participate in future power struggles.
Even in the original storyline, when Zhongzhou was in such a state of chaos, Yin Gu remained uninvolved.
Therefore, even Chu Yang was somewhat curious about Yin Valley, partly because he was curious about the overall strength of this force and its heritage.
On the other hand, there is curiosity about the source of this power.
The founders of all the top powers were powerful figures who were renowned throughout the continent in a certain era, but people know nothing about the founder of Yin Valley.
"Teacher, where do we go next?"
Five years have passed in a dream, and with the addition of visiting various forces and engaging in strategic maneuvering with bigwigs, Tang Huo'er has already undergone a transformation.
Now he is no longer like before, always trying to hide behind Zhu Yang, but has truly gained the confidence to stand on his own.
"Flower Sect!" Chu Yang said without hesitation.
So the master and disciple headed straight for the Flower Sect.
The news of Chu Yang and his apprentice visiting various powerful forces had already spread like wildfire throughout Zhongzhou. In addition, since they did not deliberately conceal their whereabouts, their visiting routes were also known to everyone.
Nowadays, apart from the seven ancient clans, the only visible forces in Zhongzhou are the Flower Sect and the Sound Valley.
It is unknown what Yin Gu's attitude is, but at least Hua Zong has already made the highest level of preparation, ready to welcome Chu Yang at any time.
The Flower Sect is situated in a range of mountains, and its mountain gate is covered by a sea of flowers, which forms the sect's protective array.
When Chu Yang and Tang Huo'er arrived, the Flower Sect had obviously already learned of the news in advance. A group of high-ranking members had been waiting for them for a long time, and even the two immortals of Qinghua, who had been in seclusion for many years, were invited out.
There was no other way; the strongest person in the Flower Sect on the surface was only a Dou Zun, so they really didn't have the confidence to face Chu Yang.
"Welcome, Emperor Chu!"
Upon Chu Yang's arrival, all the high-ranking officials of Central China, led by the two immortals of Qinghua, bowed in unison.
Chu Yang waved his hand, but instead of looking at them, he looked towards the depths of the Flower Sect and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The higher-ups of the Flower Sect also knew that although Chu Yang personally visited various forces, it was only to build momentum for his disciples. The person who would actually talk to them was that seemingly very young girl.
Just then, Chu Yang suddenly asked, "Who is the current sect leader of the Flower Sect?"
