Primordial Era: I, Huanglong, have refined all the heavens, and will not join the Chan Sect.

Chapter 271 Wukong Becomes Bai Mi's Apprentice, Showing His Composure!

Three years later.

All the disciples on the Lingtai platform gained something, and Sun Wukong even successfully broke through to a higher realm, becoming a true immortal.

The speed at which he broke through to the next realm greatly surprised Bodhi Patriarch and the others.

Bai Mi couldn't hide her smile; she had come to Lingtai Mountain specifically for Sun Wukong.

However, she wasn't told what to do or how to do it; she was simply told to interact with Sun Wukong according to her own preferences.

Now that the sermon was over, and Sun Wukong had successfully broken through to the True Immortal realm, Bai Mi took the opportunity to distribute a large number of precious spiritual fruits.

After hearing about the white rice, Sun Wukong became very envious of these spiritual fruits. After bowing in thanks, he couldn't wait to put the spiritual fruits into his mouth.

"Ugh—! This, this…"

Feeling the surging spiritual power emanating from his abdomen, Sun Wukong's eyes widened instantly.

It wasn't until he experienced it firsthand that he realized the wonder of this innate spiritual fruit.

After listening to the Dao for three years, he had just broken through to the True Immortal Realm, and now he was showing signs of breaking through again.

To prevent his foundation from becoming unstable, Sun Wukong quickly suppressed his impulse and stored up the abundant spiritual energy, intending to save it for later use after his foundation was solidified.

Actually, his worry was unnecessary.

What Bai Mi took out was a top-grade innate spiritual fruit, while Sun Wukong's current cultivation level was only that of a True Immortal.

How could one's foundation become unstable after consuming a top-grade innate spiritual fruit?

Even if a Golden Immortal breaks through to the next level by consuming this spiritual fruit, there will be no foundation issues.

However, it's normal that Sun Wukong had never seen the innate spiritual fruit and didn't know this.

On the contrary, he was able to resist the temptation and forcefully suppress the urge to break through, which made Bai Mi and the other two very satisfied.

At their level, what they value most is their character and temperament.

Only with a firm enough mind can one go further; understanding comes second.

As for qualifications and good fortune, they didn't care about them at all.

Even if a disciple has the worst aptitude, they have ways to raise it to the top level, and good fortune is not a problem at all.

After watching for a while, Bodhi Patriarch and Golden Phoenix Fairy looked away and stopped staring.

Bai Mi did not leave, but instead played with the disciples as usual, giving them extra help and explaining some of their daily cultivation questions.

This time, however, there was an extra stone monkey among these disciples.

Bai Mi was quite fond of Sun Wukong's personality, and before leaving, she secretly slipped a primordial spiritual fruit into the stone monkey's hand.

Sun Wukong first improved his cultivation by listening to the Dao, and then obtained two precious innate spiritual fruits. In addition, Bai Mi's easy-going and unpretentious personality made Sun Wukong's favorability soar.

Watching Bai Mi leave, Sun Wukong gripped the spiritual fruit in his hand, his eyes filled with reluctance. If he could, he would rather follow this young master to cultivate the Dao.

However, now that he has embarked on the path of cultivation, time is no longer such a precious thing. In ten years, he will be able to see this little master again!

Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

this day.

A golden-furred monkey descended from the sky on a beam of light and arrived at the preaching hall of the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave to wait.

This streak of light was none other than the Somersault Cloud. In a single somersault, it covered 108,000 li (approximately 54,000 kilometers).

This golden-furred monkey is none other than Sun Wukong.

After ten years of cultivation, he has reached the peak of the Profound Immortal realm. He only needs one more opportunity to become a Golden Immortal, truly achieve longevity, and attain great success in his cultivation.

The fact that Sun Wukong was able to reach this level so quickly is not only due to his own firm will and extraordinary comprehension, but also to the two innate spiritual fruits given to him by Bai Mi.

Three years ago, after consolidating his foundation, he released the spiritual energy of the first innate spiritual fruit in his body and successfully broke through to the Xuanxian realm.

Eight years ago, he consumed his second mid-grade innate spiritual fruit and successfully broke through to the peak of the Profound Immortal realm.

During this period, his combat skills improved rapidly, and he also quickly mastered martial arts.

The reason he came to the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave today is because this day is the day Master Baimi preaches.

The other disciples in the mountains had also been waiting on the sidelines for a long time.

Compared to the two teachers, Subhuti and Jin Feng, on Fangcun Mountain, Master Bai Mi's sermons, though fewer in number, were simple and practical, without much obscure mystery.

Moreover, after each of Bai Mi's sermons, he would bestow upon them precious innate spiritual fruits, allowing their cultivation to rapidly improve.

Therefore, Bai Mi was also the most beloved master among the disciples in the mountains.

When the time came, the Nine-Rank Pure White Lotus appeared, and white rice appeared on the high platform.

The preaching hall was soon filled with a profound Taoist atmosphere, with golden flowers falling from the sky and golden lotuses emerging from the ground, and strange phenomena occurring frequently.

Compared to the last time he listened to the teachings, this time Sun Wukong's position was extremely far forward, only behind a few Golden Immortal senior brothers and sisters.

The effect of listening to the sermon was even better; they quickly became engrossed and gained many insights.

Later, a mysterious aura began to emanate from his body.

When the three-year sermon ended, a powerful aura emanated from Sun Wukong.

Through this opportunity to hear the Dao, he successfully seized the opportunity and attained the status of a Golden Immortal.

From then on, their lifespan will be long and prosperous. Unless they perish, they will not suffer the misfortune of dying peacefully in their old age, unless they experience the five signs of decay.

When Sun Wukong awoke, several days had passed. He opened his eyes and saw Bai Mi squatting beside him, munching on a spiritual fruit.

He was immediately excited and rushed over to kneel down and kowtow.

"Disciple Sun Wukong thanks Master for preaching the Dharma and protecting the Dharma; I will never forget this kindness."

"I have many questions about the methods of combat, and I hope that my teacher can have great compassion and give me some guidance."

Bai Mi patted Sun Wukong on the head, took out a primordial spiritual fruit and handed it to him, answering his questions.

In the years that followed, Sun Wukong often followed Bai Mi to cultivate.

Besides solving his cultivation problems, Bai Mi also gave him many precious spiritual fruits and told him many secrets and the division of power in the Three Realms.

This matter was entrusted to him by Huanglong. He did not want Sun Wukong to be like the arrogant, ignorant monkey who was manipulated by others, as the transmigrator remembered him.

One can have pride, but one cannot be ignorant!

To remain proud and fearless even when knowing everything is truly a sign of unyielding integrity!

It is foolish to be ignorant and allowed to be bossed around at will.

At the same time, Bai Mi also told Sun Wukong that becoming a Golden Immortal is only the beginning of the path to immortality, not the end, and carefully explained to him the different realms and differences in the path of cultivation.

In the end, Sun Wukong stayed by Bai Mi's side for five years.

With Bai Mi's guidance and the abundant resources of the ancient forest kingdom, his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.

In just five years, his cultivation reached the peak of the mid-stage Golden Immortal realm, and he also learned many powerful divine abilities.

Among them, the most precious is the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique.

Huanglong has long since repaid all the karmic debts he owed the Wu Clan, and the Wu Clan has even incurred a considerable karmic debt in return.

Now, any disciple of the Guixu lineage can learn the original Eight-Nine Arcane Arts if they wish.

However, the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts have too high a threshold and consume too many resources. Given Sun Wukong's situation, practicing the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts is not a good thing.

So Bai Mi passed on the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique to him. It was a simplified version of the Eight-Nine Profound Technique, and he could only cultivate it up to the ninth level, but it was still stronger than the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique of the Chan Sect.

After all, Huanglong's mastery of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts was the best in the primordial world, and the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts he simplified was far superior to the Nine Revolutions Arcane Arts of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Even though he had only just learned the Nine Revolutions Mystic Technique, Sun Wukong's physique had been greatly improved.

Five years later, following Huanglong's instructions, Baimi expelled Sun Wukong from the villa and sent him down the mountain to make his own way in the world.

Faced with the white rice that was avoiding him, Sun Wukong, with a reluctant expression, knelt down, his eyes red, and earnestly said:

"This disciple will obey Master's orders and will now descend the mountain to travel."

Looking at the still tightly closed gate, a resolute expression appeared on Sun Wukong's face. He solemnly kowtowed three times, then stood up, turning back every few steps.

Finally, gritting his teeth, he transformed into a golden streak of light and resolutely departed.

Inside the courtyard, watching Sun Wukong's departing figure, Bai Mi took a bite of the spiritual fruit, her eyes filled with reluctance.

But all good things must come to an end, and Sun Wukong still had his own path to walk.

Without the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Investiture of the Gods could not have begun.

Many sages devised numerous plans for the Investiture of the Gods, and Sun Wukong certainly could not stay on Lingtai Mountain for an extended period.

The fact that Bai Mi was able to give him an extra five years of private tutoring and teach him many powerful supernatural techniques was already an immense blessing for him.

Their connection had come to an end before the end of the Investiture of the Gods calamity.

The fact that Sun Wukong left Lingtai Fangcun Mountain could not be kept secret from the gods and sages of the heavens. Seeing that the protagonist had returned after completing his studies, the grand drama officially began.

……

Flower and Fruit Mountain, Water Curtain Cave.

After returning to the mountain, Sun Wukong first killed the Demon King of Chaos and established his authority over Flower Fruit Mountain.

Then, he taught some basic cultivation methods and combat techniques to the monkey troop.

When news of the Demon King's demise spread, representatives of various demon clans, including the Bull Demon King, the Roc Demon King, and the Flood Dragon Demon King, flocked to Sun Wukong, praising him highly and wanting to become sworn brothers with him.

After five years of exposure and influence, Sun Wukong was no longer the reckless and foolish monkey who was used as a tool by others.

After hearing the intentions of the Bull Demon King and his companions, he became wary.

The Mischievous Demon King was ultimately just a Mystic Immortal, while the Bull Demon King and others had at least the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal.

Why would the death of a troublesome demon king warrant these golden immortal demon kings traveling thousands of miles to get here?

There must be something fishy about this.

Although Sun Wukong was wary of the Bull Demon King and his companions who came with good intentions, after some thought, he ultimately made a show of it and chose to become sworn brothers with them.

However, Sun Wukong did not force his way into the underworld to prolong the lives of his monkey descendants, as the time traveler remembered.

He now understands very well that the correct way for his monkey offspring to prolong their lives is to guide them onto the path of spiritual cultivation.

As one's cultivation level increases, one's lifespan will naturally increase as well, and one's self-protection ability will also improve.

In today's vast and ancient world, every place is filled with abundant spiritual energy, making cultivation much easier than the transmigrators remembered.

Although achieving immortality is still not easy, it is quite simple to live for several thousand years if one is willing to cultivate oneself.

As for obeying the six demons' instigation to go to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea to ask for weapons, Sun Wukong ignored them completely.

He had already learned from Bai Mi that the East Sea Dragon Palace was the territory of the dragon race.

The Dragon Clan is one of the most powerful clans in the prehistoric world. With the Ancestral Dragon, a Primordial Golden Immortal, presiding over the clan, the Yellow Dragon, renowned throughout the prehistoric world, is the clan leader.

Even setting aside top-tier combat power at the saint level, the East Sea Dragon King of the East Sea Dragon Palace alone possesses cultivation at the quasi-saint level.

In addition, there are a large number of dragon clansmen at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in the East Sea Dragon Palace.

I have no relation to the Dragon King of the East Sea, nor do I know any of the creatures in the East Sea Dragon Palace. Going to the East Sea Dragon Palace to ask for weapons is just provoking them!

With his cultivation at the Golden Immortal level, he would probably be killed by the dragon race as soon as he entered.

Besides, Sun Wukong had long been wary of the Bull Demon King and his men, so how could he possibly follow their suggestion and go to the East Sea Dragon Palace like a fool?

After exchanging pleasantries, Sun Wukong sent the Bull Demon King and the others away, citing the need for cultivation.

Time flies, and a hundred years have passed.

During this period, Sun Wukong continued to teach his monkey followers the methods of cultivation.

Back when he was still at Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, he asked Bai Mi if he could pass on this method of cultivating the mind to the monkeys and their offspring at Huaguo Mountain.

Bai Mi naturally had no objection to this. As long as it wasn't the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique or other special supernatural abilities taught in private, he could teach anything else at will.

That is why Sun Wukong so decisively abandoned his idea of ​​going to the underworld after hearing the suggestion from the Bull Demon King and others.

If one can prolong life through cultivation, why bother going to the underworld to do such impractical things?

After years of cultivation, all the monkeys on Flower Fruit Mountain have embarked on the path of cultivation, and at least for the time being, they no longer need to worry about their lifespan.

Furthermore, Sun Wukong's cultivation level also advanced further, breaking through to the late stage of Golden Immortal, and he was not far from the perfection of Golden Immortal.

Furthermore, during his years of cultivation, his understanding of the Great Dao of Water, gained while he was adrift in the East Sea, gradually integrated into his own cultivation, resulting in a significant increase in his combat power.

During this time, the Bull Demon King and his companions came several more times, and each time they seemed to bring up the topic of weapons intentionally or unintentionally.

However, knowing the strength of the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, Sun Wukong never intended to set sail.

It's just a weapon; what's more important than my own life? I might as well not go!

Sun Wukong's composure left the powerful figures behind the scenes quite helpless, and they harbored many grievances against Bai Mi, but dared not say anything openly.

Left with no other choice, they had to change their strategy and arrange for Sun Wukong to have a chance encounter with the Dragon Clan.

Finally, through the introduction of this dragon clan member, he arrived at the East Sea Dragon Palace and successfully obtained the Ruyi Jingu Bang, a magical treasure of merit.

However, unlike the memories of the time traveler, Sun Wukong, though unruly, is no longer reckless and ignorant.

He was neither humble nor arrogant towards the Dragon King of the East Sea, and he also performed all the proper courtesies.

After learning the origin of the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff), he did not act rashly.

Instead, he first asked Ao Guang to calm the turbulent currents of the East China Sea before taking the treasure, thus averting a potential disaster that could harm the creatures of the sea and avoiding karmic retribution.

This pleased the Dragon King of the East Sea, who held Sun Wukong in even higher regard.

Arrogance is not the same as being conceited and ignorant, much less mindlessly arguing with everyone and everything.

True arrogance is hidden and unseen, like a sword concealed within, only to be drawn at the crucial moment.

If you don't call it, it's a blockbuster!

Sun Wukong has already achieved this in its initial stages.

After removing the magic staff, the Dragon King of the East Sea hosted a grand banquet for Sun Wukong.

Up to this point, all that has been done is to give Sun Wukong various benefits.

Next, it was the Heavenly Court's turn to take action and appoint this Monkey King as an official in Heaven.

This is no longer just a benefit, but also a crisis...
