Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 496 Finally Becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal
In the Three Realms, at this moment, beautiful and dazzling celestial flowers are slowly falling. Compared with the celestial flower shower that covered the Southern Continent in the past, this celestial phenomenon is obviously larger in scope, covering the entire Three Realms.

In the territory of Jindu Mountain, the little bull spirits standing among the mountains and fields were somewhat surprised to see the falling flowers from the sky, but they were not afraid at all. They were just amazed by the scene.

Meanwhile, atop the mountain, the four people in the pond pavilion watched this scene with anticipation in their eyes.

Jin Feng and Jin Yun looked expectantly at the local earth god in front of them and Ao Xuan beside him.

"Lord Earth God, Brother Ao Xuan, could it be that Master has broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm?"

Having followed Niu Yi for many years, these little fellows, though not particularly talented, were nonetheless quite knowledgeable. The scene before them clearly indicated the birth of another Great Luo Golden Immortal, a cause for celebration throughout the world.

The Earth God of Jindu Mountain stretched out his palm and caught a celestial flower that was slowly dissipating. He was inexplicably certain that this was a celestial phenomenon celebrating the young man who had come to Jindu Mountain alone years ago.

"I think so."

Outside the boundaries of Jindou Mountain, in the valley of Falling Cherry Blossoms, the two local deities, Baoquanjian and Falling Cherry Blossoms, are gathered together. However, the expression of the Falling Cherry Blossoms local deity is noticeably forlorn.

“Alas, the local earth god of Yunwu Mountain left to become the city god, the one from Huxiao Mountain also went to the Heavenly Court, and the local earth god of Jindu Mountain is now following Chief Niu Yi. His position is too high now, and we feel quite uncomfortable when we see him.”

"Now, it's just the two of us who can get together often, but now you're leaving to become the River God elsewhere. My Cherry Blossom Valley will truly become deserted in the future."

When Yao Qing'er's lifespan came to an end, she nurtured many peach blossom spirits before being reincarnated. However, over the years, those peach blossom spirits have all left one after another.

His friends have all gone on to achieve great things, but he, despite his increasing abilities over the past thousands of years, remains the local deity of Cherry Blossom Valley, guarding the valley year after year.

The local deity of Baoquanjian shook his head and said:

“We should be content. If it weren’t for Chief Niu Yi’s consideration of our past relationship and his assistance with the incense offerings in the divine realm, how could we have lived to this day? How could Yao Qing’er and my stupid fish have broken through to the Demon General realm and gained a thousand years of lifespan? With their talents, Demon General is the end.”

The land deity of Cherry Blossom Valley nodded with emotion, about to say something, when suddenly he saw streaks of celestial flowers appear before him and slowly fall.

"This is."

The local deities of Cherry Blossom Valley were momentarily stunned. Just then, cherry blossoms, along with the seemingly endless celestial flowers, slowly fell from the sky. A graceful figure holding a long pink umbrella also descended slowly into Cherry Blossom Valley, turned around, and smiled at the two local deities who had suddenly widened their eyes.

"Ying Qing, a disciple of Daojun Mountain in Xiniu Hezhou, greets the two local earth gods."

In Wuzhuang Temple, the two Daoist boys, Qingfeng and Mingyue, were leading a group of young immortals in training. More than three thousand years had passed, and they were no longer the youngest disciples of Wuzhuang Temple, but they still looked like Daoist boys, serving their master.

As the showers of flowers fell, Zhen Yuanzi, the abbot of Wuzhuang Temple who was in meditation, appeared on the plaza.

Upon seeing this, Qingfeng and Mingyue quickly led everyone to bow in greeting.

"Master."

"Hmm~"

Zhenyuan Daxian nodded slightly, looking at the falling flowers in the sky, a wistful smile appearing on his face.

"Excellent, excellent! Finally, a Grand Luo Immortal has appeared in this world. I thought he would be a step behind that monkey, but now he's much faster!"

"With the completion of the Primordial Dao Fruit, we will have one more fellow Daoist to accompany us. This is truly a cause for celebration!"

In the Southern Continent, at the Golden Light Cave of Mount Qianyuan, Master Taiyi rubbed his head helplessly as he watched Nezha wandering around his garden.

"My dear disciple, the golden bamboo you requested isn't ripe yet. Hey! I need to refine that bellflower for alchemy! Put it down!!!"

Seeing that Nezha was about to grab him, Taiyi Zhenren quickly transformed into a golden light and appeared in front of Nezha, stopping him.

Nezha looked at Taiyi Zhenren, who was standing in front of him with a glare and a bristling beard, and blinked, saying:
"It's not what I want, Master, it's what my little sister wants."

"Your little sister"

Master Taiyi felt a headache coming on whenever he thought of the girl who had visited Golden Light Cave last time. The arrival of the siblings had turned Golden Light Cave into a complete mess. Compared to that clever and mischievous girl, his disciple was actually quite good.

Nezha smiled as he looked at his master, who had a headache on his face. Just then, he suddenly sensed something and quickly looked up at the sky.

"Ok?"

Hearing the voice beside him, Taiyi Zhenren opened his eyes, gave Nezha a disgruntled look, and then followed Nezha's gaze, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"A celestial phenomenon that has enveloped the entire Three Realms? It seems that Fellow Daoist Guangyi has already cultivated the Primordial Dao Fruit and become a Great Luo Golden Immortal."

Upon hearing this, Nezha smiled, genuinely happy for his brother. Of course, he wouldn't fall behind for long. Even if he couldn't cultivate the Primordial Dao Fruit, he was still confident that he could break through to the Great Luo realm within two thousand years!

In the underworld, as streaks of celestial flowers fell from the dim sky, the entire underworld was plunged into a clamor.

Before the gates of Cuiyun Palace, the Ox-Head and Horse-Face guardians, each wielding a steel fork, watched the celestial flowers slowly drifting down from the sky and transmitted their voices to each other:
“Abang, look at this strange phenomenon. Could it be that a Great Immortal has emerged from the Underworld? But if there really is a ghost in the Underworld who has achieved the status of a Great Immortal, it shouldn’t be this kind of ethereal and otherworldly phenomenon.”

"Hey, you haven't forgotten that if our brother Guangyi succeeds in cultivating the Primordial Dao Fruit, the Three Realms will celebrate for him. It's not surprising that such a celestial phenomenon has occurred."

"Crunch~~"

As the deep blue gates of the Emerald Cloud Palace slowly opened, Ox-Head and Horse-Face immediately fell silent.

Within this incredibly tall gate, the figure of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva slowly emerges.

"Buddha!"

The Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, resembling a handsome young monk, nodded slightly, gazing at the dazzling celestial flowers slowly descending from the sky. A smile appeared on his face as he softly said:

"The underworld hasn't seen such a beautiful sight in a long time. It seems your junior brother is almost catching up with you."

The East Sea, an overseas fairy mountain, on Fangzhang Fairy Mountain.

At this moment, a banquet was being held under the branches of the Jianmu tree on Fangzhang Immortal Mountain. The Three Star Gods of Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity from Penglai Immortal Mountain, the Ten Elders from Yingzhou Immortal Mountain, the Eight Immortals of the Chunyang lineage, and a host of other immortals were all present, drinking and having a good time.

As the celestial blossoms fell from the sky, the Eastern Emperor, seated at the head of the table, nodded and laughed heartily:

"Hahaha, fellow Daoists, how wonderful this Yuan is!"
