I start by accepting Sun Wukong as my disciple and reshape the Journey to the West

Chapter 1: Entering the Quasi-Sage Stage and Starting the Journey to the West
The sage lies high in the ninth heaven, and the four continents are beginning to experience the beginning of the catastrophe.

In the land of primordial chaos, four continents rose up, including the Dongsheng Shenzhou, the Xiniu Hezhou, the Beijuluzhou, and the Nanzhanbuzhou.

At this time in the Dongsheng Continent, the divine monkey had already been born, which had already alarmed the Jade Emperor Haotian. After another three to five hundred years, the divine monkey finally went out to sea to seek a teacher under the instigation of the Tongbei Monkey.

The Flower-Fruit Mountain is now at its quietest. After all, the Son of Fortune is not here, so it is a good time to develop secretly under the dark side of the lamp.

It is said that there is a secret room inside the wall of the Water Curtain Cave.

The power of Hunyuan surged around Ye Xuantian, and the pressure on him was overwhelming. He already had the aura of a perfect Daluo Jinxian and could break through at any time.

You must know that now is the time when the catastrophe of Journey to the West is about to come. It is no longer the situation in the early years when the primitive times were just beginning and there were quasi-saints everywhere and great Luos as numerous as dogs.

After the Conferred God Ceremony, apart from Yuanshi Tianzun in the Nine Heavens who maintained the strength of a saint, there were only a few emperors of respected status such as the current Emperor Haotian, Queen Mother of the West, Tathagata Buddha, Taishang Laojun, Ziwei Emperor, and Donghua Emperor who maintained the cultivation level of quasi-saints, which was above the Daluo Jinxian.

[Special note: The cultivation levels in Journey to the West have been adjusted to maintain the Quasi-Sage level above Daluo Perfection.]

Ye Xuantian escaped the pursuit of the Heavenly Tribulation several times, and was reluctant to break through, just to survive until the Journey to the West Tribulation. Now he noticed that the power of the Heavenly Secrets around him was weak, and without any hesitation, he immediately released the Qi Sea around his body and madly absorbed spiritual energy.

In an instant, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was drained away.

puff!
There seemed to be a light sound, and Ye Xuantian only felt that his mind was clear, the five energies were converging, and the three flowers were gathering at the top of his head.

In the vast river of time, Ye Xuantian looked at the past, present and future. In just a moment, he collected his mind.

He finally surpassed the level of Golden Immortal and became a Quasi-Sage. From then on, if no saint took action, he would be immortal.

Rumble!
Muffled thunder sounded between heaven and earth. Above the Flower-Fruit Mountain, thunderclouds surged and purple thunder gathered.

Above the Ninth Heaven, Yuanshi Tianzun opened his eyes from his cushion, and his mind felt something, and he wanted to direct his thoughts towards the stone monkey, but at this moment, the Bagua Formation around the Flower-Fruit Mountain flashed.

Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head slightly: It's too early! He hasn't even become a disciple yet!
"Could it be that Zhen Yuanzi has achieved a breakthrough? The Journey to the West tribulation hasn't ended yet, and there's no primordial purple energy descending. Even if Zhen Yuanzi has many believers and worshippers in the secular world, it's too outrageous for him to have achieved a breakthrough to the level of a saint."

Yuanshi Tianzun waved his sleeves, and suddenly five-colored light appeared in front of him, like a mirror, revealing the location of Wuzhuang Temple.

Inside the Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of earthly immortals, was cleaning up the fallen leaves around the ginseng fruit tree. Suddenly, he felt something and looked into the void.

"What are the instructions of the Yuanshi Saint?"

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly, not caring, and waved his sleeves to block the surveillance, but there was a hint of coldness between his brows.

He is a saint, yet he got it wrong!!!

interesting!

He began to count on his fingers.

In the lower world, where the Flower-Fruit Mountain is located, Ye Xuantian looked up, and his eyes seemed to see through the mountain and the thunderclouds in the sky.

"During these past few calamities, I've witnessed how weak you've become. Only after becoming a god were the rules of the Heavenly Dao complete. Now, you're useless except for my nourishment."

"If you want to bring down heavenly punishment and stop me from moving forward, only a saint can come in person! I have been planning this for many years. Since I dare to break through today, I must have the confidence."

As if in response to Ye Xuantian's words, a huge Bagua Formation emerged from the entire Huaguo Mountain and flew towards the sky.

At the same time, Ye Xuantian's figure appeared in the void, his palm turned over, and the Bagua Formation turned into a pocket shape, flying towards the thunder in the sky and earth.

The thunder in the thundercloud seemed to sense the danger and was about to escape into the void.

"I've been hiding for so many years, and a mere initial-stage quasi-saint can't satisfy me! It's too late to run away now, the net is tight!" Ye Xuantian snorted coldly.

Wow!
Thunderclouds surged, and golden threads flew out from the Bagua Formation, wrapping around the silver lightning first.

Almost at the same time as the net of heaven and earth wrapped around the lightning, the Bagua Formation also arrived, completely wrapping up the lightning.

The silver light moved and flickered in all directions within the Bagua Formation, but it could not escape at all.

Ye Xuantian opened his palm, and the pocket of the Bagua Formation fell into his hand. Ye Xuantian reached out and grabbed the silver light, swallowing it in one gulp. Swallowed it? ? ?

In an instant, the aura around Ye Xuantian surged again, and the power of laws surrounded his body. If there was an immortal here, he would definitely find a strange phenomenon: Ye Xuantian could only be seen but could not be perceived by the spirit.

At this moment, Ye Xuantian seemed to have merged into one with the heaven and earth.

"My observations are indeed correct. Devouring the laws of heaven can not only bless oneself, but also make oneself and the heavenly secrets undetectable. Although it is not as overbearing as the Hongmeng Purple Qi, it is also not bad. Quasi-Saint perfection is as easy as taking something out of a bag!"

puff puff!

Two more soft sounds were heard, and the aura around Ye Xuantian became extremely vast, and the power of all the laws merged perfectly with him.

Quasi-sage perfection!

"Integrating the laws into the body, becoming one with the heaven and earth, and being immortal, is this the feeling of being close to a saint?" Ye Xuantian felt his own strength and was very satisfied.

In this way, with all the saints in seclusion, he only needs to be cautious and avoid being targeted by Saint Yuanshi Tianzun, and he will be safe.

When there is thought in the mind, there are feelings in all directions.

Although Ye Xuantian had previously disturbed Yuanshi Tianzun's thoughts through the Bagua Formation, when Yuanshi Tianzun began to calculate, his Bagua Formation had no effect.

"escape!"

Ye Xuantian's figure once again sank into the stone cave of the Water Curtain Cave. At the same time, he began to petrify and turned into a stone statue.

Almost at the same time, Yuanshi Tianzun waved his sleeves again on the ninth heaven, and a mirror appeared in the void in front of him. It was the Flower-Fruit Mountain, but at this time the Flower-Fruit Mountain was unspeakably quiet.

There was not even a trace of the aura of a cultivator in the air.

"What's going on? Two wrong sensings? How could this happen?" Yuanshi Tianzun murmured.

Yuanshi Tianzun believed that his calculations were correct, which meant that there must be something wrong with the location of Huaguo Mountain. He was about to stand up, and at once all the energy in the Nine Heavens was drawn away.

When a sage makes a move, heaven and earth both respond.

At this moment, a monkey with a hairy face and a thunder god's mouth appeared in the picture. It was born as a stone monkey. The stone monkey was sitting on a bamboo raft, floating towards the land of Huaguo Mountain.

"Hmm? Shouldn't this monkey be traveling across the ocean to find a famous teacher? Why is he back?"

Almost at the same time, Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to point his finger at the screen. He wanted to see what was happening.

But just as he was about to take action, a voice came from the void.

"The catastrophe begins again!"

These four short words were filled with endless power, and all living beings felt it for a moment.

Dao order!

This is the decree of Heaven. The West is weak, and these decrees are meant to complete the cause and effect of the West.

In this way, it makes sense that the monkey from Huaguo Mountain could invoke the laws of heaven.

"The catastrophe has begun, so I'm not in a position to interfere, lest the two from the West argue with each other! It's time to comprehend the new Heavenly Dao."

As Yuanshi Tianzun finished speaking, he collected all his thoughts. At that moment, he was enveloped by hazy chaos and laws. He could no longer be seen or observed in the Nine Heavens, as if there was nothing there except a cushion.

In the Flower-Fruit Mountain in the lower world, a curve appeared on Ye Xuantian’s lips, and the petrification effect dissipated.

Sensing the stone monkey coming ashore, he let out a deep breath.

"The Journey to the West has begun. I will take this monkey in on behalf of Patriarch Bodhi!"
