Journey to the West: Start by giving Taishang Laojun a whole life

Chapter 242 Breakthrough, Great Freedom Golden Immortal! The Green Ox's disbelief!

The decree of Laozi (the Supreme Lord Lao).

It is incredibly precious.

So when Zhang Tian took them out one by one, the gods saw it and knew that this kid had won the favor of Laozi, so they naturally didn't say anything more.

Let's laugh off this ordeal.

This is all thanks to Zhang Tian's own abilities.

And the other side.

Guo Ying Qingniu was extremely envious. Although he also had the Supreme Decree, those things were all things he had embezzled over the years, unlike Zhang Tian's.

That was the culmination of his many years of hard work!

It feels like you've worked hard for years and finally have a million in savings at age 40, only to turn around and see a teenager with the same wealth.

Even if the other party is not as well off as you.

But the other person has a bright past that is different from yours.

He can resolve many past problems.

The green ox felt a pang of jealousy at its master, Laozi, for favoring Zhang Tian. Then it turned its attention to the monkey, its eyes filled with envy, and sighed, "I never thought that in just a hundred years, this monkey would become a Buddha."

This was not inside information he knew.

Rather, it was what he saw with his own eyes.

Old Niu witnessed firsthand the Buddha-like aura emanating from the monkey's body!

Zhang Tian saw it too.

While serving in the Heavenly Court, he heard other immortals say that the difference between a Golden Immortal and a True Immortal was not in cultivation or strength, but in their state of mind.

That is, the Way!
The monkeys of that time were incredibly powerful.

He was invincible in the Heavenly Palace.

On the journey to the West, there are countless demon kings as powerful as the Monkey King.

But they put them in the sky.

But they were never given a second glance by the gods, and were only regarded as walking mounts.

It's because of their strength.

But your cultivation is insufficient!
Zhang Tian didn't understand it before, only feeling that it was extremely abstract and difficult to comprehend. Now, after hearing Qingniu mention this matter, he secretly activated his primordial spirit and directly sent it out of his body.

Then I witnessed a shocking scene.

A vast Buddhist light emanated from the departing monkey, as if a true Buddha had descended to earth, illuminating the surrounding area and preventing any evil spirits from approaching.

Zhang Tian suddenly remembered.

During the ordeal of Master Kou.

The monkey went down to the underworld alone to rescue people. Without using any supernatural powers or magic, he radiated golden light, illuminating the underworld, the Bridge of Helplessness, the Mountain of Knives, and the City of the Wrongfully Dead, thus delivering the souls of those who had been trapped for many years and were unwilling to reincarnate.

The true Buddha has descended to earth!
Zhang Tian's primordial spirit was deeply moved and sensed the essence of the Buddha's light. He murmured, "Immeasurable Buddha, Immeasurable Light, Immeasurable Life, Immeasurable Compassion, this is where my heart leads, to comprehend the workings of all things in the world!"

He suddenly woke up.

Having understood the reason why Lao Tzu chose him as the project leader for this journey to the West, he realized that the so-called wordless scripture that could help people cultivate the Great Dao of Hunyuan was all a lie!
"Cultivating Buddhism is cultivating oneself."

"Understanding the mind reveals one's true nature!"

Zhang Tian's primordial spirit returned to its place, and as he comprehended the Buddhist light emanating from the monkey, the feeling in his heart grew stronger and stronger. He sat cross-legged on the ground and said with utmost confidence.

"I understand now, I understand!"

The blue ox standing to the side looked blank.

Qingniu: Ah?

Green Ox: What have you realized this time?
He looked as if he had seen a ghost. It was because he had known Zhang Tian since the mortal world that he knew Zhang Tian’s comprehension very well. It was extraordinary and unparalleled.

However, spiritual practice is not solely based on enlightenment.

And it also requires understanding!
It's one thing for a mortal to attain enlightenment and ascend to immortality in broad daylight, but now that they've already become immortals, why are they still doing this? Isn't that a bit excessive?

"Besides, since you went to the Heavenly Court, I, Old Ox, haven't seen you cultivate diligently at all..."

"you you you……"

"That's not right!"

Qingniu remembered clearly that since Zhang Tian entered the Heavenly Court, he had been busy with various matters. First, he became a disciple of the Supreme Lord and received the Daoist name Void True Man.

Then he went to Ziwei Star and released the primordial spirit Black Lotus.

He received guidance from the Supreme Being and cultivated the Samadhi Fire. He was ordered by the Jade Emperor to suppress Flower Fruit Mountain.

He received another invitation from Zhenwu and went to the North Sea.

Later, he took charge of the westward journey.

They were extremely busy.

And you even said your cultivation level has improved??

Green Ox: I don't understand!!!
Zhang Tian did not speak, but instead used the divine power of good and evil he had cultivated from Wu Tian to inhale and exhale the boundless good and evil energy of the human world.

The true meaning of the Five Elements in his heart.

It has already reached perfection through the cultivation of many great supernatural powers.

My mindset is now formed.

Then there was no resistance whatsoever.

Following Zhang Tian's thoughts, the true meaning of the Five Elements transformed into five streams of light, constructing a world within his chest. It was no longer divided as before, but perfectly round and harmonious, like a single entity.

"The unity of the five elements is perfect harmony!"

The universe within the body is being constructed.

Inhaling and exhaling.

That round of golden core fire was also burning fiercely, scorching Zhang Tian's body into pure gold, undergoing the tempering of heaven and earth, forming a supreme, indestructible Vajra body.

In the blink of an eye and a few breaths.

Under Qingniu's envious, incredulous, and almost gnashing-teeth gaze, he watched helplessly as his former little brother, who had followed him, gained immense wealth and status, and was now standing firmly on his side.

we can even say……

Even better!
The green ox had lost count of how many times it had felt envious today; the whole ox was practically green with envy. "Seeing the heavens, seeing the earth, seeing myself! I've achieved Golden Immortal status, and I've also mastered the Primordial Chaos Intent!!"

Accompanying his murmured words.

Accompanied by the change of color of the sky and earth.

Golden rays of light descended from the sky.

Auspicious clouds roll and swirl, bringing good fortune.

Zhang Tian slowly opened his eyes, enjoying the joyous celebration of heaven and earth. He felt the changes within himself. Compared to the True Immortal realm, the Golden Immortal realm was not a dramatic change from his previous state.

It simply created a world within the body.

It is self-sufficient and perfect.

No longer subject to the control of heaven and earth.

As for the change in strength, Zhang Tian felt that he was constantly merging with heaven and earth. It was no longer like before when he was controlling the power of heaven and earth. Instead, it was as if he was heaven and earth, and he could use Hunyuan to resonate with heaven and earth at any time to modify the laws between heaven and earth.

This feeling.

Very powerful!

Zhang Tian was completely absorbed in this feeling. He stood there calmly, without using any supernatural powers or spells, and his immortal power did not fluctuate at all.

But it did just like the monkey did.

It possesses the aura of Buddhism, the spirit of immortals, the glow of the sunset, and an air of holiness and auspiciousness.

He sighed softly, "After hundreds of years of cultivation, I have finally attained the Golden Immortal Dao. From now on, I will roam freely between heaven and earth, never seeing the King of Hell or the heavens!"

When the era ends, heaven and earth perish.

But I will not die!

This is the power of a Golden Immortal!

For once, the green ox was truly convinced. He said seriously, "You kid have now surpassed me, the old ox, in your cultivation of the Golden Immortal Path. You've progressed more perfectly than me. You truly deserve to be the prodigy and the filthy thing that the master has chosen."

"You can proceed directly to the next step of your cultivation."

The cultivation after becoming a Golden Immortal.

It's not as simple as just understanding the rules.

Absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

We have arrived in another world.

What kind of spiritual practice?
"Reincarnation!!"
