The monkey, scorned and choked, couldn't claim that it hadn't done wrong; not regretting that it had been sealed, it only regretted its insufficient mana—that it couldn't obliterate the owners of those pets as well.
Thus, it also dragged its master into this trouble, spending 10,000 years contemplating where those mythical Immortals, compassionate and benevolent, were. There was no Avalokitesvara to guide its master on a quest for scriptures.
But having been discovered by a human pet for the first time in tens of millions of years, perhaps this was its sole chance to escape.
Even though the monkey's mana wasn't very strong, it sensed the qi of a Divine Beast emanating from the dragon that had beaten it, and further in the sky not too far away, it detected the presence of humans.
The monkey also felt even more solidarity with its master from when they were mortals together, sensing that these humans were now powerful beings within the Cultivation World.
