Under One Person: My Inner Realm Connects to All Worlds!

Chapter 178 Mind Monkey and Kidney Pig
The little black pig trembled, and its originally cloudy eyes gradually became clear. It looked up at Han Yun, and its eyes revealed complex, human-like emotions.

Then, he raised his hooves and respectfully bowed to Han Yun.

This bow is to thank Han Yun for enabling it to understand its own nature and no longer suffer from that confused and ignorant state.

The young novice monk stared in disbelief, pointing at it and saying, "This...this pig...?"

Han Yun smiled slightly and said to the little black pig, "Although the monk Fengdian has passed away, his legacy has not been severed. Since you are his incarnation, you should return to your origin."

After saying that, Han Yun condensed a wisp of golden, empty Buddhist light in his palm and slowly injected it into the little black pig's body.

In an instant, a faint golden light emanated from the little black pig, its form gradually becoming ethereal, and finally transforming into a crystal-clear relic, floating in Han Yun's palm.

Within that relic was a Buddha in the shape of a pig's head and a human body, sitting cross-legged.

"This, this is..."

The young novice was so shocked he couldn't speak.

Han Yun put away the relic and explained, "This is the relic transformed from the body of the eccentric monk Feng Dian, containing a portion of the merits and vows of his life's cultivation. Now that his worldly ties are severed, it should return to the right path."

Then, Han Yun produced a peach and placed it in the little novice's hand.

"Take this peach. Eating it will help you become an extraordinary person. When that happens, just inform others wherever you go. It will also be considered as repaying the kindness of the monk Fengdian for the meals he provided."

After saying that, Han Yun's figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only the little novice monk holding the peaches, at a loss.

"Have I... have I met a deity?"

------

Interior space.

Han Yun placed the relic in a celestial cave. The cave contained water veins and the Qi of Kan water, while outside the cave, the Qi of clouds and mist rose, forming a dense and continuous ladder of heaven.

Then, it is infused with inner landscape energy, which mixes with the Qi of Kanyuan Water Marsh and slowly nurtures it.

With a light tap of Han Yun's fingertip, the relic slowly sank into the depths of the water vein, merging with the Qi of the Kan water.

Suddenly, chanting echoed in the cave, and the phantom of the Buddha with a pig's head and a human body sat cross-legged on its own, with ripples of golden waves spreading around its body.

"Though the physical body is crippled, the Buddha-nature remains."

With a thought, Han Yun summoned wind and clouds, and the Qi of clouds and mist condensed like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, forming auspicious clouds on the cave ceiling, adorned with a seven-jeweled necklace; the Qi of the Kan Yuan Water Margin flowed around the relic, transforming it and reshaping its body.

However, there is one point: this self-awakening body has gone through hundreds of reincarnations and has long been tainted by the wishes of countless beings and the turbidity of the mortal world, and has acquired all kinds of human vices.

Even if it hatches, it will probably be somewhat cunning, lazy, greedy, and gluttonous.

However, its flaws do not overshadow its merits; its fundamental nature is always good.

Afterwards, Han Yun left the Cloud Stack Cave and came to the Bodhi tree in the Peach Garden. Looking at the golden monkey being nurtured in the stone egg, a wisp of Samadhi True Fire appeared at his fingertips.

The monkey corresponds to the heart, belongs to the fire element in the Five Elements theory, and symbolizes the yang energy of the heart. Its characteristics are lively and active, and a pursuit of freedom. It needs to go through experience and trials to reach the perfect state of "Wukong" (the Monkey King).

Zhu Wuneng corresponds to the kidneys, belongs to the water element in the Five Elements theory, and represents the yin energy of the kidneys. His characteristics are a love of pleasure and being consumed by desires, which need to be balanced through observing precepts.

Currently, Han Yun is using three golden lotuses, ten clumps of purple bamboo, and the earth's veins and springs to nurture this golden monkey, imitating the ancestral veins of the ten continents and the dragon veins of the three islands. Only this wisp of fire energy is needed to condense the ape's essence and help it undergo a complete transformation.

With a flick of his finger, Han Yun sent the wisp of Samadhi True Fire plummeting into the stone egg like a shooting star. Instantly, crimson patterns appeared on the surface of the stone egg, flowing like magma, and the faint image of a golden monkey curled up inside could be seen trembling slightly.

"The restless mind belongs to the fire element, and it is most averse to agitation. Only when water and fire are in balance can perfection be achieved."

He raised his hand and activated the spiritual spring in the Peach Garden, which transformed into a misty drizzle. The water vapor met the Samadhi True Fire and condensed into illusory lotus flowers, lifting the stone egg and suspending it in mid-air.

The monkey, which had been scratching its ears and cheeks inside the egg, gradually calmed down, and its body began to glow with a lustrous, jewel-like light.

"No need to rush, no need to rush, it's still a long time before you're born!"

After doing all this, Han Yun summoned the five dragons and said to them, "You should return to the Non-Human World first, and while you're at it, please pass on a message to Ming Kong: if possible, I want a drop of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie's essence blood."

Upon hearing this, Wu Long immediately nodded.

------

A world beyond human comprehension.

After hearing the explanation from the Five Dragons, Mingkong couldn't help but smile bitterly and mutter, "The original master really thinks highly of me."

"But I'm afraid I've forgotten that Sun Wukong from the Non-Human World was actually made of stone. Even if he were to scrub him in the bath, he would only scrub off a bunch of stones."

"This essence blood... never mind, I'd better go ask Guanyin Bodhisattva first!"

Since Mingkong was introduced to Guanyin and Maitreya in September, the group has frequently exchanged ideas and their friendship has deepened.

Especially after Mingkong expressed his interest in the essence of the divine beast, Guanyin Bodhisattva felt as if she had found a kindred spirit.

Guanyin Bodhisattva particularly liked keeping all sorts of mythical beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas at home, and Mingkong often exchanged peaches for the essence and blood of his mythical beasts.

Then Ming Konghai showed Guanyin the various possibilities of crossbreeding between the bloodlines of divine beasts. Guanyin became very interested in this and even specially opened a temple to cultivate new types of divine beasts.

Because Nezha has not yet been handed over to Guanyin Bodhisattva by Li Tianwang and is staying at Guanyin Bodhisattva's house, Guanyin Bodhisattva still returns to Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea whenever the company has a two-day weekend.

When Mingkong arrived at the Purple Bamboo Forest in the South China Sea, he happened to see Guanyin Bodhisattva holding a jade bottle, feeding a lion-like creature with nine heads with celestial dew.

"Great Master, I apologize for disturbing you." Mingkong clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

Guanyin Bodhisattva turned around, smiling kindly, and said, "Junior Brother Mingkong, what new ideas do you have today?"

Mingkong coughed lightly and said somewhat embarrassedly, "To be honest, I've come here to ask the Great Master for a favor. I want to obtain a drop of essence blood from Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie. I wonder if the Great Master has any way to do that?"

Upon hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva raised an eyebrow and looked at Mingkong with a half-smile: "Oh? What do you want their essence and blood for? You can't possibly want to conceive another Sun Wukong, can you?"

"Besides, given your relationship with that monkey, isn't it just a matter of opening your mouth?"

The unspoken meaning behind Guanyin's words is that it's much easier for you two fellow disciples to talk to each other than it is for me.

Mingkong sighed softly, his face showing just the right amount of helplessness and respect: "My master has strict rules, and he strictly forbids his disciples from easily using his name to act outside. Whether and when my senior brother Dasheng recognizes me is all subject to my master's decree, and I dare not overstep my bounds."

He paused, his tone revealing a mixture of understanding and concern for Sun Wukong's temperament: "Besides, if I rashly go to ask for it, given the Great Sage's fiery eyes and cautious nature, if he sees that I can't explain my lineage, he'll probably immediately suspect that I'm some unknown nobody trying to trick him with a fabricated story. In that case, I won't get the essence blood, and I might even get hit by his staff. Wouldn't that be a terrible injustice?"
