The monkey looked at him for a while before it finally couldn't help it, and decided to talk to him.
He heard a voice in his head, but he wasn't shocked by this. After all he had reached the Heavenly Mandate realm and could also utilize spiritual transmission to pass on messages and communicate.
The biggest advantage of this was that anyone even those that didn't have the same language could understand what was being conveyed easily.
"How come you have not opened any shackles?" It asked in a confused voice.
"Huh! You are talking to me?" He looked at the monkey, then himself and around only to realize he was the only one there.
"Otherwise! Do you think I'm talking to myself?" The monkey gave him a look of disdain after hearing this question.
Clearly it was looking at him, and he was acting as though it was talking to someone else.
Calming down, Situ asked, "What shackles are you talking about?"
