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

Chapter 274 The Journey to the West is Settled, the Great Dao is in Sight

The Thirty-Third Heaven, the Tushita Palace.

Seeing that the palace was empty, Sun Wukong immediately understood.

Like the Hundred Fruit Garden, this place was also a benefit bestowed upon him by the Heavenly Court.

In that case, he certainly wouldn't be polite.

Seeing all sorts of miraculous pills and medicines, Sun Wukong ate and took them without hesitation.

These pills were all personally refined by Laozi, and each one is a top-grade product from the primordial era.

Moreover, these were all elixirs specially selected by Laozi based on Sun Wukong's condition.

Sun Wukong had just swallowed a handful of pills, and his realm, which had been dormant for many years, immediately began to react.

Before long, he broke through to the mid-stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

But he did not stop there. The advantage of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique is that it has a solid foundation. Whether refining innate spiritual roots or taking pills, there will be no unstable foundation.

With no worries about the future, Sun Wukong didn't stop at all.

About ten years later, his cultivation level rose to the peak of the mid-stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

However, this time his cultivation only paused for a few years before he broke through the bottleneck again and reached the late stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

A hundred years later, Sun Wukong broke through to the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, only one step away from becoming a Daluo Golden Immortal.

However, this final step stopped 99% of the Taiyi Golden Immortals in the primordial world.

It doesn't mean that once you reach a certain level of cultivation, you can break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

To achieve the highest level of enlightenment, one needs both accumulation of knowledge and favorable opportunities.

If one does not accumulate enough knowledge or make sufficient preparations, the final result will be the complete annihilation of body and soul under the heavenly tribulation.

If one lacks the right opportunity, even if one manages to overcome the heavenly tribulation, one will be lost in the river of fate and never be able to transcend it.

While at Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Bai Mi told Sun Wukong about this, advising him not to rush into a breakthrough in the future, but to wait until he was at least 98% certain before attempting it, as this was a tradition of their lineage.

Although Sun Wukong didn't know the significance of the "lineage" Bai Mi mentioned, he never questioned Bai Mi's words.

Therefore, after breaking through to the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, he stopped improving his cultivation.

He then activated the Nine Revolutions Mystic Technique, using the spiritual energy within the elixir to temper his body.

More than ten years later, Sun Wukong consumed dozens of gourds of pills, making some progress in the art of body refinement, achieving an indestructible body, and greatly increasing his strength.

His physical strength has been raised to the extreme of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, and he did so through the top-tier Nine Revolutions Profound Technique.

He had a vague feeling that with his current physical strength, combined with the supernatural powers and combat techniques taught by Bai Mi, he would dare to fight even a Great Luo Golden Immortal!

"I wonder if my current strength is within the Heavenly Court's plans, or if it exceeds their expectations..."

Sun Wukong's eyes flickered slightly, and he began to have more guesses about all of this.

"perhaps……"

"Master Bai Mi knew about the Heavenly Court's plans, which is why he specially taught me the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, hoping that I could gain more benefits."

"I wonder if I have disappointed Master Bai Mi, or if I have exceeded the Heavenly Court's expectations..."

Sun Wukong stopped thinking about it and cooperated with the Heavenly Court's act, using his escape light to flee the Heavenly Court and return to Flower Fruit Mountain.

Haotian was naturally aware of what Sun Wukong had done.

He realized that Sun Wukong's cultivation had already broken through to the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and he was greatly surprised. He subconsciously looked at Guixu.

According to the original plans of the powerful figures, when Sun Wukong left the Heavenly Court again, his cultivation level would at most be at the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Now, Sun Wukong has not only improved his cultivation to the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, but his physical body has also been improved to the extreme of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Even compared to disciples of major sects, Sun Wukong is in no way inferior. In fact, at the same level, some disciples of major sects whose magical powers and treasures are not strong enough may not be a match for Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong's transformation was all thanks to Huanglong.

Without Huanglong's Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, even if the number of innate spiritual fruits in the Hundred Fruit Garden and the number of spiritual pills in the Tushita Palace remained unchanged.

He wouldn't be able to eat so much at once like he does now.

If an ordinary being were to do this, it would be a matter of unstable foundation. Consuming so many innate spiritual fruits and pills in a short period of time would definitely cause it to burst!

"I wonder how Buddhism will subdue Sun Wukong like this. What if, in the end, he also falls into the hands of Guixu..."

Haotian chuckled and then dispatched a large number of heavenly soldiers and generals to the mortal realm to capture the demon monkey.

……

Huaguoshan.

"Sun Wukong, you have violated the Heavenly Laws! Surrender now and come with me to Heaven to await the Jade Emperor's judgment!"

Upon hearing Li Jing's shout, a mocking smile appeared on Sun Wukong's face.

At this moment, he was all alone on Flower Fruit Mountain.

After he returned, he sent the monkey clan and the seventy-two cave demon kings out of Flower Fruit Mountain and sent them to the East Sea.

He knew that the Heavenly Court must have something for him to do, since it had given him so many benefits, and it wouldn't harm his life.

But his monkey offspring and the demons of Flower Fruit Mountain are another matter entirely.

To a powerful force like the Heavenly Court, these are nothing more than ants that can be easily destroyed.

Better safe than sorry, these monkeys and their offspring, along with the rest of the demon race, should probably leave Flower Fruit Mountain for safety.

As far as he knew, besides the Dragon Clan, there were two other major forces in the East Sea: the Jie Sect and the Guixu Sect.

Even a Great Immortal would have to restrain his brilliance and behave himself when he arrived in the East Sea.

The Heavenly Court will definitely be serious this time. There's no need for the demons below to risk their lives with him. In the face of a true powerhouse, numbers are useless.

"You think your Grandpa Sun will surrender? No way!"

Sun Wukong sat on the stone chair, looking at the many heavenly soldiers and generals above Flower Fruit Mountain, without the slightest fear on his face.

Aside from a few cowards, who would willingly be captured?

At this moment, Sun Wukong's pride was fully revealed, like a sword drawn from its sheath, his brows filled with arrogance and unruliness.

Since they couldn't agree on anything, the two sides quickly engaged in a fierce battle.

Today, Sun Wukong not only possesses the cultivation of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, but also wields various powerful supernatural abilities with ease.

Seventy-two Transformations, Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill, Fighting Staff Technique, Great Dao of Water...

Each of his supernatural abilities possessed immense power, truly resembling the Monkey King.

Even when the Four Heavenly Kings joined forces to set up an array, they were unable to trap Sun Wukong. Without holding back at all, they were utterly defeated by him.

Neither the jade pipa nor the green-edged sword could harm Sun Wukong in the slightest. This demon monkey's blood and energy were as powerful and terrifying as a vast river.

Not only were Li Jing and the other heavenly generals astonished, but even other powerful figures who were paying attention to this matter were extremely surprised.

Unexpectedly, Sun Wukong grew up so rapidly, completely beyond expectations.

They were aware of the Four Heavenly Kings' strength.

Individually, he would rank among the top among all the Taiyi Golden Immortals.

When the four of them work together to form a formation, they can even rival some Grand Luo Golden Immortals.

Even so, Sun Wukong was able to overpower four people all by himself, which shows how strong he was.

Soon, the Four Heavenly Kings were defeated, and the Twenty-Eight Constellations immediately took action, setting up the Star Array to attack Sun Wukong.

However, Sun Wukong still had the upper hand.

With only the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand, his blood and qi surged, radiating dazzling golden light, making him like an invincible war god, traversing the formation and sweeping all before him.

Relying on his strong physique, he withstood the attacks of the formation and defeated the Twenty-Eight Constellations one by one, winning another battle.

Seeing Sun Wukong forcefully break the Twenty-Eight Constellations Formation, the gods of Heaven fell silent.

Given Sun Wukong's demonstrated combat prowess, even if disciples from major sects came, the chances of defeating him at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm would be slim.

Finally, Guanyin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, arrived in Heaven and, according to the script, recommended Yang Jian to take the stage.

Yang Jian now possesses the cultivation level of a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Inviting him here was just a show.

Therefore, Yang Jian temporarily suppressed his cultivation to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm and began to fight Sun Wukong.

In the end, it was only because Laozi disregarded martial ethics and used the Vajra Bracelet, a magical treasure of merit, to launch a sneak attack and capture Sun Wukong in one fell swoop.

This battle spread Sun Wukong's name throughout the heavens and the myriad realms, with an effect even better than the Buddhist sect had anticipated.

It was precisely Sun Wukong's transformation that caused them some concern.

In name only, Sun Wukong was a disciple of Bai Mi, and they dared not forcibly convert him into Buddhism.

However, without using methods like converting him to Buddhism, they weren't entirely confident they could persuade Sun Wukong to become a Buddhist.

Sun Wukong proved through his actions how strong his fighting power was and how high his potential was.

Even Jieyin and Zhunti would feel sorry if Sun Wukong were to join the Guixu Sect.

……

heaven.

Following the agreed-upon script, Haotian first pressed Sun Wukong to the Execution Platform, but was unable to harm him in the slightest. Helpless, he had no choice but to hand him over to Laozi, who placed him in the Eight Trigrams Furnace to refine him.

Amidst the burning power of the Purple Flame of Douluo, Sun Wukong, in his agony, sensed a profound Daoist aura.

Although he didn't know the reason, he knew that this was probably one of the Heavenly Court's plans.

Without giving it much thought, he hurriedly activated the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique, carefully sensing the Daoist principles within.

Judging from the current situation, after the Journey to the West tribulation ends, Sun Wukong will most likely not belong to Buddhism, but will instead join the Guixu lineage.

Speaking of which, the Sage Taiqing owes Huanglong quite a bit over the years.

So, taking this opportunity, they used Laozi to repay part of the karmic debt and help the monkey.

Of course, whether or not Sun Wukong can seize this opportunity depends on his own abilities; Laozi will not give any hints or further assistance.

boom--!

this day.

A deafening roar came from inside the Tushita Palace, and a fire monkey leaped out of the Eight Trigrams Furnace. Its eyes shone with golden light, surrounded by flames, and its whole body exuded a terrifying aura.

This aura no longer belongs to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, but rather has one foot in the Daluo Golden Immortal realm!

By comprehending the Daoist principles within the Eight Trigrams Furnace, his physical body broke through the limits of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, acquiring the physical body of a half-step Daluo Golden Immortal.

Furthermore, his cultivation level advanced further, breaking through the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm and entering the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

In this way, he was confident that he could survive the Heavenly Tribulation. As long as he had enough opportunities, he could attract the Heavenly Tribulation and achieve the Great Luo Fruit.

However, now is clearly not the time to undergo tribulation. He doesn't know what the Heavenly Court wants to do, but he understands what he should do.

So he glanced at Laozi, and then...

They then set up their escape light, intending to flee the Heavenly Court.

According to the original script, Sun Wukong should have been blinded by rage and gone on a killing spree.

But now, Sun Wukong is clearly more composed and has not made any irrational moves.

The Buddhist community had been keeping an eye on Sun Wukong, so naturally they didn't miss this scene.

Seeing that he was once again acting out of the script, the Buddhist master became anxious.

Shakyamuni, who had been waiting nearby, took the initiative to appear and directly used his Five Elements Great Divine Power to transform his five fingers into a mountain, suppressing Sun Wukong under the Five Fingers Mountain.

Contrary to the time traveler's memory, after Sun Wukong was suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain, the Buddhist sect did not make him eat iron pellets or drink molten copper.

The reason was simple: Bai Mi, the eldest disciple of the Guixu lineage, personally blocked the entrance to Mount Sumeru, but said nothing.

How could the Buddhist community not understand her meaning?

Other beings in the primordial world may not know this, but the Sage Sect knows it all: Bai Mi is the nuclear switch for the Guixu lineage.

You may have offended the Queen Mother of the West and others in Guixu, but perhaps nothing will happen to you.

But if you offend Bai Mi, Huang Long might personally take action.

Left with no other option, the Buddhist sect simply suppressed Sun Wukong under the Five Fingers Mountain, without affecting his cultivation.

If we're talking about punishment, his hands and feet are bound by shackles made of innate black iron, and every thousand years he will suffer a hundred years of lightning and fire torture.

The current primordial world is not what the transmigrator remembered. In just five hundred years, nothing can be done, and the Buddhist sect's goals cannot be achieved.

Therefore, according to the Buddhist script, Sun Wukong needs to be suppressed for 50,000 years.

As for the Thunder and Fire Punishment, it was Huanglong's idea, who wanted to use it to help him break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Thunder is both destruction and creation!

As long as Sun Wukong properly circulates the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, refines the power of thunder and fire, and brings his magical power and primordial spirit to their peak, he can successfully pass through the Heavenly Tribulation.

It can also increase the chance of finding the true spirit, and after achieving the Great Luo Fruit level, it can also improve the quality of the Three Flowers.

Once things had temporarily settled down, the Buddhist sect and the Heavenly Court jointly held a grand ceremony to pacify the heavens. Ostensibly, it was to celebrate the suppression of the demon monkey, but in reality, it was an exchange of interests between the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect.

Guixu, a Taoist temple hidden in the clouds.

After Sun Wukong was temporarily suppressed, Huanglong withdrew his gaze.

Now, the Journey to the West is gradually getting on track, as long as Sun Wukong can break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

With Huanglong's years of preparation, the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West was completely under Huanglong's control.

With this matter temporarily settled, Huang Long turned his attention to the human race's nine provinces.

With the completion of the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Zhuan Ling Grand Array and the continuous improvement of the Primordial World, his Chaos Dao Tree had long since become one color.

The Dao Fruit of the Path of Death has been completely integrated with the Chaos Dao Tree.

When the primordial world is upgraded to the eternal world, the constraints on the Great Dao will be reduced, and he will be able to maintain the state of assimilation between life, the Great Dao, and the Chaos Dao Tree, obtain the Dao Fruit of the Great Dao, and master the Chaos Great Dao!

The Chaos Gourd Vine is only one step away from completing its evolution.

It happened even faster than he had anticipated. Everything is now ready. Once the Primordial World is upgraded to an Eternal World, he will be able to attain the Great Primordial Golden Immortal realm...
