Accounts of the Peak Dao Venerables

"Ay, it's a good thing you didn't become a disciple of those two freaks... tsk tsk. Truly this Great Venerable's eyes are so good, back at the Divine Realm I sensed a great talent such as yourself!"

Back down at the Soaring Dragon Peaks, Zhou Fengren along with his disciples continued on their way to the top. Sun Wukong, the monkey Zhou Fengren took on as a new disciple was covered in sweat.

His eyes seemed to dart back and forth, glancing from time to time at Zhou Fengren shoving the massive amount of food down his throat.

'This is absurd! Those three old men are crazy! That Buddha is crazy! That Good Fortune Master is crazy! Now this man... I have a feeling he's crazier than all the rest! I wish I could have stayed sealed!' Sun Wukong thought.

Zhou Fengren continued to speak, "You know, Buddha... he has completely crazy disciples! The Buddhist Pure Lands may seem like a paradise, but it is hell!"

"One of his disciples, the Happy Talking Buddha's blessings are actually curses! One time, a young couple went out to seek blessings at his temple. The Happy Talking Buddha smiled at the couple, and wished them to have a happy life and have great children!"

"A few days later... the husband was pregnant! It was completely horrifying! His wife was so traumatized by the event that she left him. Years later, that man agonizingly gave birth to octuplets... those octuplets were born perfectly bald, emanating Buddhist auras. They even had a halo filled with good karma. But the man committed suicide after that, traumatized after feeling the Buddhist auras which caused him to have flashbacks about the Happy Talking Buddha."

Zhou Fengren sighed. Zhou Fengren's disciples were in disbelief. Sun Wukong was drowning in sweat.

'Ah... good thing that giant golden man didn't catch me... it would have been the end of the line for me!' Sun Wukong thought.

"And that old geezer, the Good Fortune Numinous Master? His disciples are too eccentric! Countless years ago, he managed to pick up a supreme peerless talent and took that boy under him." Zhou Fengren shook his head in pity, sighing once again before continuing.

"Then, a few days after arriving at the old geezer's sect, he died a horrible death! His body became a rotten corpse. All his attainments in the Dao were wasted! That peerless talent's face froze into a face of utter horror right before he died. It was obvious his Dao Heart broke."

"This was all because of one of that old geezer's disciples, the Scarlet Poison King! That brat is completely vicious. He spends most of his time in seclusion, creating various disgusting pills and such at the Ten Thousand Treasures Mountain. He killed his brand new junior brother due to one of his new concoctions..."

Sun Wukong was drowning in sweat. He was truly shocked at those terrifying accounts of the crazy disciples of the Peak Dao Venerables.

'But I have a feeling... this old geezer might be completely worse!' thought Sun Wukong. He truly had an ominous feeling about Zhou Fengren, but of course he didn't dare to speak of that out loud.

"As you know kid, there's other Peak Dao Venerables out there, or as we also call them now, Immortal Sovereigns. For instance, the leader of the Ancestral God race is Patriarch Godhaven. The Ancestral God race is probably the most talented race out there. While there may be very few of them, every one of their offspring is almost guaranteed to be a Dao Venerable!"

"Then there's the progenitor of the Fleeting Void Sect, Old Man Fleeting Void. That old geezer loves to act mysterious and hasn't appeared in so long. Last time he went out of seclusion was countless eras before the Celestial Emperor and Immemorial Abyss Godfiend became Heavenly Monarchs."

"Then there's True Devil Myriad Kalpa, who has an undying hatred against the Buddha. Another is the Beast Lord, ruler of all magical beasts and demons. That guy isn't even actually a beast, he's an Ancestral God."

"Finally, the most recent Immortal Sovereign, and also the youngest - the Human Sovereign. He is the leader of the Imperial Dao Dynasty."

"There will be a new one soon. Titan Emperor Ouroboros - he's almost finished assimilating his third Dao Seed from what I've heard. That man is completely out of control. He loves fighting more than anything else. That idiot actually tried to challenge me years ago, and he ended up completely crushed. Ever since, his fat arrogant stomach stayed in seclusion to this day."

"Ah, don't forget to remember Yours Truly over here, Great Venerable Zhou Fengren! Let me tell you, if one of those crazy old maniacs ever get near you, don't be afraid to tell me. They will cry like babies before me!"

"Yes, yes. Of course revered master." Sun Wukong licked Fengren's shoes, but inside he didn't believe him that much.

"Speaking of which, does revered master know about the Immortal Sovereigns of us Primordials? There is the Heaven-Devouring Great Terrifying Cockroach, who is so disgustingly scary that everything it encounters runs away from it..."

"Then there is the World-Crushing Furious Ape, who has countless lower worlds filled with his imperial harem... even he stole wives from other Immortal Sovereigns. Another truly terrifying entity. You would never know if your loved ones are already part of his harem..."

The monkey spoke with pride before being interrupted by Zhou Fengren. "Yeah, yeah! I don't care about those pieces of trash... tell me something more interesting. Like the rumored beings above Heavenly Monarchs?"

"This... revered master, we're not sure if those beings truly exist. But I've heard that the great Godbeast once said that there were two Primordials that came before him. One was a massive towering beast, who was capable of crushing everything. It is said to have held a massive mighty axe capable of splitting even Heavenly Monarchs apart."

"Then the other entity is apparently even more terrifying. Apparently, it was a bird releasing a boundless holy light of purity. Even that giant beast was said to be serving that Primordial."

"Oh? Could it be... I should ask Xing Tian about that. He should know about those two." Zhou Fengren smiled.
