Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 756 - 680: Showdown_2
After the little monkey finished speaking, Sun Wukong instantly understood what the little monkey was referring to. He hurriedly reached up to touch his forehead, exclaiming in surprise, "What on Earth is going on? Why is there a flower on my forehead? And why does this flower look so odd?" The moment Sun Wukong touched his forehead, he discovered that a dark black five-petal lotus tattoo had appeared there. Moreover, the petals of this lotus were not all the same: four were dark black, but one was blood red. Sun Wukong quickly remembered that memory which he had almost neglected.
Clutching his head, which was somewhat in pain, Sun Wukong's brows were deeply furrowed. The little monkey sighed softly and said, "The five-petal lotus on your forehead is what you gained from this canyon. It's also a reward for all the pain you've suffered. This lotus tattoo is known as the Three Spirits Flower. The one on your forehead is just one Spirit of the Three Spirits Flower. Its purpose is to greatly enhance your physical body. When all five petals turn blood red, your physical body will be enhanced to a level you can't even imagine. And the process of enhancement requires you to consume that fruit. Only the medicinal power of the Holy Blood Fruit can stimulate the Three Spirits Flower."
Sun Wukong's mind was becoming muddled again, so he didn't respond to the little monkey's words. The little monkey, regardless, continued, "You must believe in yourself, your potential far exceeds your imagination, and all of this is necessary. You can't escape it, nor should you try to. Although you may not understand it now, this is an essential step in the resurrection plan. At this stage, many lives have been sacrificed and a great price has been paid, so I won't allow you to refuse. In fact, even if you did refuse, I would still find a way!"
After the little monkey had said this, he noticed that Sun Wukong seemed to be listening. Just when the little monkey thought Sun Wukong might be scared, Sun Wukong suddenly raised his head, his gaze intense, and asked each word pointedly, "Who are you exactly? What is your purpose in doing all this?" The little monkey appeared somewhat taken aback, not expecting Sun Wukong to ask this at such a time, and somewhat helplessly shook his head, "Who I am is something I can't tell you right now, but one thing I can assure you of is that I will definitely not harm you. Although the process may be extremely painful, everything I'm doing is for you. Maybe many people have designs on you and have plotted against you with all kinds of schemes, but I am the only one who won't!"
Sun Wukong, unimpressed, asked again, "Who exactly are you? If I can't know with certainty, then even if what you're doing benefits me immensely, I still don't care for it. I, Sun Wukong, won't let others control my fate any longer. So if you don't want everything to turn to naught, you'd better tell me everything!" Sun Wukong's voice wasn't loud, but the determination in his words shook the little monkey. The little monkey then set aside all emotions and asked seriously, "What if I don't tell you?"
Sun Wukong suddenly smiled indifferently and said, "I have two options, one is to kill you and then wreak havoc here. The other is, if I find I can't manage the first, to choose suicide or take you down with me. You shouldn't doubt whether I can do it, if you don't believe me, then you can try me!" Suddenly, the relationship between the two became awkward. Before, they had always joked despite their transactional relationship, which was quite harmonious. But now, it seemed like they were at odds —a change that was completely abrupt, leaving no time for mental preparation.

The little monkey looked at Sun Wukong, and Sun Wukong looked back at him. After a long moment, the little monkey seemed unable to hold on any longer and his gaze flickered with hesitance before he asked, "Does it really have to be this way? You should know, once a man dies, it's all over, everything is gone." Sun Wukong, however, proudly replied, "I'd rather die than live a life being manipulated by others!" At last, the little monkey gave up his stubbornness. His gaze toward Sun Wukong suddenly became devoid of meaning. Turning his head to look at the canyon where Sun Wukong had almost lost his life, he sighed deeply.
"All right, this plan allows for no possibility of failure, so I concede. But I hope that when you know everything, you will think it over carefully. You are confident of dying with me, and I also have the means to forcefully make you complete all the plans, but right now I'd rather you willingly accept it all," said the little monkey, pausing for a moment before continuing, "What I am doing now is just preparing for the final plan. My visit to Grandfather Turtle was to verify whether you were truly the person I've been waiting for, and your arrival here proves that you are. This canyon was a trial, but also meant to let you obtain the first of the Three Spirits Flower, which is the tattoo on your forehead. You must have encountered a similar flower in the canyon, otherwise, it would not be possible to attain it. Now what I need to do is utilize the medicinal power of the Holy Blood Fruit to fully activate the power of the first Spirits Flower, enhancing your flesh. When all five petals turn blood red, the first step will be complete. Then I'll take you to the second location, which has the second of the Three Spirits Flowers. That flower will enhance your soul. If you're still alive by then, I'll take you to the next place, where the last of the Three Spirits Flower is, a flower that can merge your enhanced body and soul. Oh, and something I must say, your current physical condition is absolutely terrible!"
