I'm already a Great Luo Golden Immortal, how come you're only Martial Saints?

A large, robust gibbon, much more imposing than the other monkeys, crawled in carrying a pile of wild fruits and herbs it had gathered.

It is agile, has sharp eyes, wears armor, and has arms that reach past its knees, showing considerable strength.

When the gibbon entered the cave and saw Sun Wukong, it also showed a look of surprise and delight.

The gibbon quickly and gently placed the wild fruits and herbs on the ground, knelt down, and sobbed.

"Your Majesty, you're finally back!"

Sun Wukong helped him up, and the two monkeys chatted for a while before mentioning the rest.

"The gibbon whispered."

"Your Majesty, Elder, this is all we've found today. There's less and less food around. That Demon King is even more harsh on us monkey soldiers; he beats and scolds us for the slightest dissatisfaction..."

"If all else fails, you should follow the King to a distant land; perhaps there will be a glimmer of hope there..."

The appearance of the gibbon was like a bolt of lightning, instantly giving Ning Chen an idea!

Long-armed ape!

General Beng and General Ba!

After Sun Wukong returned from learning his skills at Fangcun Mountain, he defeated the Demon King of Chaos, reorganized Flower Fruit Mountain, and trained the monkeys.

Among his four generals, two red-bottomed macaques were appointed as Marshals Ma and Liu, and two long-armed apes were appointed as Generals Beng and Ba!

When the Heavenly Court came to war, these monkeys from Flower Fruit Mountain were even able to fight the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals for several rounds.

Ning Chen pulled Sun Wukong aside.

"Senior brother, how strong are the monkeys from your Flower Fruit Mountain?"

Sun Wukong scratched his cheek, somewhat puzzled by his junior brother's question.

"What do you mean, junior brother? Before I went out to sea to seek the Dao, ordinary monkeys, three or five at a time, couldn't get close to me. But if there were eight or nine of them attacking me together, even I would have to be careful!"

Ning Chen's eyes suddenly lit up. Before Sun Wukong went to sea, his strength was also quite remarkable.

Huaguo Mountain has an extraordinary origin. This mountain is the ancestral vein of the ten continents and the source of the three islands. It was established when the clear and turbid were separated and formed after the primordial chaos was divided.

These monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain live in a celestial abode, eat spiritual fruits, and drink from celestial springs. Each of them has an extraordinary physique and has developed intelligence, making them no ordinary monkeys.

To put it bluntly, in the Flower Fruit Mountain region, even a pig can become a demon if it lives long enough.

so...........

Ning Chen looked the gibbon that was delivering fruit up and down, and then looked at the old ape that was clearly quite intelligent.

A plan to turn the tide quickly took shape in his mind!

.........

Ning Chen took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over the monkeys in the cave before finally settling on Sun Wukong, and said in a deep voice.

"Senior brother, confronting the Demon King head-on is indeed like throwing an egg against a rock, but we are not without a chance of victory. The key to the outcome of this battle lies not with you or me, but with them!"

He raised his hand and pointed to the emaciated monkeys and their offspring inside the cave.

"With proper training, we can surely achieve victory against overwhelming odds and break through the demon king's overwhelming ferocity with battle formations!"

Sun Wukong looked in the direction Ning Chen was pointing, his golden eyes filled with incomprehension and disbelief.

"Them? Junior brother, are you out of your mind? These children can't even beat those patrolling demons, how could they possibly stand against a demon king at the level of a rogue immortal?"

"Even with my body of copper and iron, without the aid of immortal magic, I couldn't withstand a single strike from that demon king!"

"Their charge will only be a death sentence, adding to that demon's feast!"

Sun Wukong scratched his ears and cheeks, so anxious that he spun around in circles.

"Furthermore, the method of group training in battle formations? I've never heard the patriarch speak of such military tactics on Fangcun Mountain! Could it be that the patriarch secretly taught it to you in the moments before you left the mountain?"

Ning Chen smiled confidently.

"Our patriarch possessed great supernatural powers and followed the natural way. He emphasized personal transcendence and enlightening all living beings. However, he never taught me these methods of military drills and combined battle formations."

"What should we do?"

Sun Wukong looked even more puzzled.

"But my sources of information extend far beyond the patriarch!"

A glint flashed in Ning Chen's eyes. He stopped explaining and immediately closed his eyes to concentrate.

Ning Chen moved his mind slightly and summoned the Divine Realm chat box.

"Teacher Luo, it's extremely urgent! I need a quick method for training battle formations! Ideally, it should be a formation that leverages numerical superiority to defeat stronger opponents, and utilizes simple weapons!"

The message was sent, and Luo Zhantian replied almost instantly.

Luo Zhantian: "Received! Yes, yes, what the teacher has the least shortage of is battle formations. I have the Shaolin Eighteen Bronze Men Formation, the Shaolin One Hundred and Eight Arhats Staff Formation... and a set of combined combat techniques from the Trapped Camp in the army. It's simple and direct. Which one do you want?"

Ning Chen's lips twitched slightly. Teacher Luo was practically the encyclopedia of Shaolin martial arts. Could it be that he had emptied the entire Shaolin Temple's Sutra Repository?

"Give them all to me. As the saying goes, 'It's never a bad thing to have many skills!'"

"By the way, I'd like to ask, teacher, did you empty out the Shaolin Temple?"

Luo Zhantian chuckled.

"What are you talking about? Do I need to move?"

"Teacher, I am the 34th abbot of Shaolin Temple!"

"what!"

Several cultivation manuals popped up in the chat group, and Ning Chen accepted them one by one.

A massive flow of information flooded into Ning Chen's sea of ​​consciousness.

He instantly mastered a vast amount of text and images about formation changes, footwork coordination, breath guidance, staff techniques, and body tempering methods, thanks to his over 1,000 points of comprehension!

The solemnity of the ancient Shaolin temple and the fierce, bloodthirsty aura of battlefield combat were perfectly integrated in his mind.

Ning Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and it seemed as if countless figures and sticks flashed before his eyes. He looked at Sun Wukong and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"We have the technique! With just a little practice, we can achieve great things!"

"You got it? So fast?"

Although Sun Wukong didn't understand why, seeing Ning Chen's certainty and recalling the various extraordinary things about his junior brother, most of his doubts disappeared, replaced by a flame of hope.

"Alright! Junior brother, whatever you say, I'll do!"

Ning Chen nodded and immediately turned to the gibbon.

"Time is of the essence! I need you to do a few things immediately. First, secretly contact all the able-bodied monkey soldiers you can reach who have been recruited by that mischievous demon king to serve as laborers or do menial tasks! Tell them that the Monkey King has returned, bringing his magical powers to save everyone!"

"Tell them to be patient and secretly observe the Demon King and his demon soldiers' daily routines and shift changes, especially the location of the armory! Await further instructions!"

"Secondly, secretly gather all the monkeys here that are still able to move, regardless of age, and bring them here!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! Immortal Master!"

The gibbon was greatly encouraged, and its eyes shone with an amazing light.

He knew this was his last chance, so he immediately called on a few of the more clever monkeys, and they quietly slipped out of the cave and disappeared into the night.

"Senior brother."

Ning Chen then looked at Sun Wukong.

"You've rallied the monkey troop and boosted their morale!"

"Select the most agile and relatively strong group to teach basic staff techniques and combat skills!"

"Okay! I'll take care of it!"

Sun Wukong was eager to try his hand at it. He was extremely confident in his staff skills, and the skills he had learned at Fangcun Mountain finally had a chance to be put to use.

After all this was arranged, monkeys soon gathered around, and the scene immediately became noisy.

Despite Wukong's best efforts to control it, it was still extremely noisy.

The old monkey grew anxious. If things continued like this, it wouldn't be long before the mischievous demon king noticed.

But silencing these monkeys is incredibly difficult.

Sun Wukong was so anxious that he scratched his head, unable to hit him or scold him.

"Senior brother, don't be impatient, calm down!"

Ning Chen smiled faintly, took a deep breath, sat down cross-legged, and communicated with the Sun and Moon Pearl floating in his dantian. He silently recited the profound meaning of the Taiyin Moon Shadow Escape Technique regarding the concealment of moonlight.

"The moonlight flows, all sounds return to silence, the vital energy is obscured, the secrets of heaven are hidden, by imperial decree!"

hum!

The Sun and Moon Pearl flew out, hovered in mid-air, and gently trembled, scattering endless clear light.

The radiance did not emanate outwards, but instead transformed into an invisible barrier.

Centered on the Sun and Moon Pearl, it rapidly spread out, quietly enveloping the valley and the area surrounding the cave.
