Four Dimitrios Monkeys

It could be accidental if it happened once, however, he had already dreamt about that person every time he entered the Heavenly Dragon Prison. His curiosity was piqued.

“Today, I will identify who you are no matter what.” Jiang Chen squinted his eyes and said.

It was impossible for him to enter the 17th floor, therefore, he resorted to using his spiritual strength to increasingly spread out and see what’s in there.

Jiang Chen focused upon his spirit. Theoretically, there shouldn’t be any hindrances imposed upon his God Emperor spirit, but there was a powerful barrier trying to hinder him when he tried to scout the 17th and 18th floor. It was at least a Divine Emperor level barrier. He did not succeed in breaking through that barrier even after two attempts.

“Damn it, looks like the guy who placed that barrier is at least a Divine Emperor.” Jiang Chen was extremely angered.

He needed to be a Divine Emperor to break through the barrier.

However, at this moment, Jiang Chen felt two powerful entities enter the Heavenly Dragon Prison, swiftly descending with extreme speed, 10th, 11th, 12th…

Jiang Chen instantly hid in the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda, floating amidst the boundary between the 16th and 17th floor.

“Third Brother, how goes ThunderCloud Zone?” The Second Palace Lord asked quietly.

“It’s still not enough, the Heavenly Lightning Crystals are still lacking compared to the Heavenly Flame Crystals. The Heavenly Flame Crystals should be sufficient within a thousand years. However, the Heavenly Lightning Crystals will at least need another 3 to 5000 years to reach the needed amount.” The Third Brother said.

Lin Youkang would’ve recognised him if he was here. He was the Profound Connection Divine Palace’s third Palace Lord.

“Still? That long? Can you increase the pace? The time that Big Brother had left for us is running out. 500 years tops and Big Brother is going to return.” The Second Palace Lord frowned and said.

The Third Palace Lord gave a bitter laugh and shook his head as he sighed:

“Second Brother, you ought to know that I’m not slacking off. It’s been so many years that us brothers have been locked inside the Heavenly Dragon Tower and Lightning-Gathering Peak. It’s hard for us to even continue our cultivation, otherwise, we would’ve surpassed the Eldest, entering the Divine Emperor Realm.”

“There’s nothing we can do about it, Big Brother’s goal is the Heavenly Dragon Prison, mine’s the Lightning-Gathering Peak and yours is the Spectre Valley. As long as the three of us stay true to our path, our ascension towards the God Emperor Realm is guaranteed. Otherwise, it’s nigh impossible. There has not been a single God Emperor born for the past billions of years, at least that’s true  for the Northern Cold Divine Region.”

The Third Palace Lord gritted his teeth and silently nodded.

“No pain, no gain, I understand that, Second Brother, it’s all for our future.”

“It’s great that you understand, hahaha, a mere Profound Connection Divine Palace is not the end of our journey.” The Second Palace Lord smiled.

“Oh right, Second Brother, that demon is still unwilling to submit?”

“I get angry just thinking about it, to think he’s still that stubborn after 100 years of torture, I would’ve killed him if it wasn’t for his powerful bloodline, to think it’s so hard to make him submit to me.” The Second Palace Lord’s expression became cold, his face was filled with ice.

“Not even the 18th floor’s Heavenly Purgatory Flame could move him?” The Third Palace Lord frowned.

“Not enough, do you know what demon that fella is?” The Second Palace Lord gave a mysterious smile.

“Ancient Divine Beats are the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuan Wu, Qilin and Kunpeng. That fella is a monkey, how great could it be?” The Third Palace Lord was doubtful.

“Third Brother, that’s where you’re wrong. Those Divine Beasts were born after Pangu created the universe. There are four spiritual beasts that are out of the three realms, not within the five elements, and will not receive any punishment from the Heavens.”

“There is such a Divine Beast?” The Third Palace Lord was shocked.

“I accidentally found a record of it within an Immemorial Age relic site. The Four Dimitrios Monkeys…  First, the Six-Eared Macaque, great at listening, able to investigate and know karma, knows everything. Second, the Long-Armed Heavenly Ape, able to steal the sun and moon, shrink mountains, knows what’s right and wrong. Third, Scarlet-Ass Macaque, fluent in the art of yin-yang and the five elements, great in the matters of human affairs, able to evade death and thrive in the living. Fourth, Ling Ming Stone Monkey, great in shape-shifting, all-knowing, able to do the impossible. These four monkeys are called the Four Dimitrios Monkeys, not confined within the three realms and five elements, much rarer than the Divine Beasts; there has only been one or two in the records of history, as they are extremely difficult to find.” The Second Palace Lord said with a solemn expression.

The Third Palace Lord’s eye shone brightly and said excitedly:

“Could it be that it’s one of the Four Dimitrios Monkeys?”

“You’re right, he’s the Ling Ming Stone Monkey.” The Second Palace Lord’s eyes shone brightly as his lips curved into a smile.

He’d be able to reign supreme if he managed to obtain the beast, reaching and breaking past the God Emperor Realm without problem.

“Second Brother, you are blessed with great fortune.” The Third Palace Lord’s expression was filled with envy.

“It’s not that easy, it’s still too early to congratulate me, this monkey is not easy to handle, he’s still as firm as before. He had never once frowned nor winced, the difficulty of handling that fella is out of your imagination.” The Second Palace Lord shook his head.

“Second Brother’s divine might is unparalleled, hahaha, a mere monkey will not stop you. Once you’ve obtained the fella, you’ll be invincible amongst God Emperors.” The Third Palace Lord laughed.

“Hard to determine, let’s see whether that fella is going to submit, the Four Dimitrios Monkeys is greater than Divine Beasts. However, I will certainly make him submit to me.” The Second Palace Lord clenched his fist with a cold expression as he released a murderous intent!

“Ling Ming Stone Monkey?” Jiang Chen frowned.

He felt that he had heard this name before, or seen it, however it was far too long ago.

After that, the Second Palace Lord and Third Palace Lord opened up the gates of the 17th floor of the Heavenly Dragon Prison.

At that moment, Jiang Chen finally saw the bloody back of that person, his eyes immediately froze!
