Honghuang: I Am the Six-Eared Macaque, Clear-Eyed in the Mortal World

A spirit monkey took form from an immortal stone born when Heaven and Earth were created.

He was called Six-Eared. He could hear what anyone said, discern sounds and understand their meaning, know what came before and after, and comprehend all things.

Zhuang Zhou dreamed he was a butterfly, and the butterfly dreamed it was Zhuang Zhou. When he gained the memories from his dream, he discovered that they matched the reality of the primordial world.

So he began to make plans and steadily cultivate, becoming a clear-headed monkey.

If others left him alone, he would leave them in peace.

If anyone crossed him, he would wipe them out root and branch!

In cultivation, he charged ahead with the current. In dealing with others, he spoke to people in their own language and to demons in theirs.

Using Flower-Fruit Mountain as his base and the memories of his dream as his guide, he seized the source of power, cultivated divine abilities from later ages, obtained Innate Spiritual Treasures, and sought boundless merit.

The Three Teachings? Taiqing was non-interfering, Yuanshi was full of schemes, and Tongtian was isolated and without support.

The Western Teachings? Too many rules, no freedom.

During the Witch-Demon Tribulation, he used his wits to keep one region safe.

During the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, he plotted from behind the scenes.

During the Journey to the West Tribulation, he controlled everything.

In the end, he attained the Dao and became a legend.

He walked with the Three Pure Ones, admired the moon with Nuwa, and discussed the Dao with the sages, free and at ease.

He was the most clear-eyed man in the primordial world.
