Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start.

P.S. Fixed a minor bug.

The boy guarding the entrance to the Cave of Slanting Moon and Three Stars is of the "Wu" generation, not the "Kong" generation; this has been corrected.

Inside the Three Star Cave, Patriarch Bodhi gazed at the stone monkey and slowly said, "My disciples are divided into twelve generations: Guang, Da, Zhi, Hui, Zhen, Ru, Xing, Hai, Ying, Wu, Yuan, and Jue."

"If you become a disciple, you will be of the same generation as Wujue, with the character 'Wu' in your name."

Subhuti pretended to calculate and said, "You are a monkey, and you look like a monkey, so choose one of these characters as your surname. I think 'Sun' is good. What do you think?"

The stone monkey cupped his hands and said, "It is entirely up to the patriarch to decide."

Subhuti nodded and said, "Your surname is Sun, and your generation name is Wu, so how about I name you Sun Wukong?"

"Sun Wukong?"

The stone monkey suddenly raised its eyes, which shone brightly with a powerful light.

This name seemed to have been his from birth; once Subhuti uttered it, it became inextricably linked to him by blood, and could never be dispelled.

The stone monkey's expression became more serious, and he said, word by word, "Alright, from now on, I will be called Sun Wukong!"

Subhuti stroked his long beard with satisfaction and said to the boy, "Wujue, take your junior brother Wukong down first, choose a pavilion to live in, and familiarize yourself with the environment. When I open the altar to preach, you can come and listen."

Subhuti came to this Fangcun Mountain several hundred years ago.

Although they have continuously recruited dozens of disciples, they have adopted a hands-off approach to teaching them.

He only preaches the Way, and all disciples can come and listen, understanding as much as they can and comprehending as they can.

The timing of each sermon varies greatly; sometimes I preach every few days, and sometimes I don't preach for an entire year.

"I have received the Patriarch's teachings and have attained enlightenment."

Wujue cupped his hands in greeting and led Sun Wukong toward the back mountain.

Suddenly, only Subhuti remained in the Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars.

Cheng took in the stone monkey, named him Sun Wukong, and successfully drew away the calamity energy!

The calamity surged, drawing in good fortune, which all poured into the West!

In the west, above the Great Thunderclap Temple, the Sea of ​​Fortune rippled and began to rise sharply.

In the tranquil space, Subhuti's lips curled into a knowing smile.

Steady progress, step by step, that's what true greatness is!

If we continue in this way step by step, why should we worry that the West cannot prosper?

Wujue led Sun Wukong to the back of Fangcun Mountain.

The back mountain was neatly arranged by Subhuti's disciples, with dozens of courtyards situated there, each occupied by a single person.

In his spare time, when he wasn't listening to lectures, he would meditate on the Great Dao and practice magic in the courtyard.

If the patriarch opened an altar to preach, people would flock to the Three Star Cave to listen to his teachings.

There are dozens of courtyards, enough to accommodate all the current disciples, with quite a few remaining.

Wujue chose the best-looking place for Sun Wukong, and Sun Wukong had no objections and settled in.

Sun Wukong asked, "Brother Wujue, may I ask when the Patriarch will begin his sermon?"

Wujue shook his head and said, "The time when the Patriarch preaches is uncertain. Sometimes he preaches every few days, and sometimes he doesn't preach even once a year. We can only wait."

The stone monkey then asked, "I heard that the Patriarch took in dozens of disciples. I wonder what our cultivation levels are?"

At this point, a glimmer of longing flashed in Wujue's eyes, followed by a hint of fear.

"Our eldest brother is named Guangfa. He was the first to join the sect and is said to have become an immortal. Not only is his cultivation the most profound, but he is also very decisive and unwavering. He is undoubtedly the number one among all the disciples."

"The remaining senior brothers are also quite accomplished in their cultivation. Many have achieved the Refinement of Spirit to Return to Emptiness or the Refinement of Emptiness to Merge with the Dao. Some have also achieved the Refinement of Essence to Transform into Qi or the Refinement of Qi to Transform into Spirit. Although I have been by the Ancestral Master's side for many years, I have only just entered the realm of cultivation."

Wu Jue sighed, somewhat frustrated. After cultivating for so long, he had only just barely entered the Refining Essence into Qi realm.

Could it be that he, Wujue, is truly not a potential cultivator?

Sun Wukong smiled and encouraged Wujue, saying, "There is an immortal in the East who once said that as long as you persevere in doing something, you will eventually reap the rewards. There are countless great talents in the world who achieve great things later in life, so there is no need to belittle yourself."

Wu Jue's eyes lit up, and he gradually clenched his fists. "The immortal is right. There's no need to underestimate yourself. Among the thousands of cultivators in the world, there are always those who achieve great things later in life."

The stone monkey thought to itself, "Of course, these are the words of the immortals on the nameless immortal island, the true words of the Great Dao."

Sun Wukong thought for a moment, then said to Wujue, "Brother Wujue, you can come and cultivate at the edge of my courtyard from now on."

Wujue was taken aback. Although he was a novice, he had his own courtyard. Why did he need to cultivate next to someone else's courtyard?

But when faced with Sun Wukong's gaze, Wujue surprisingly did not refute him.

After seeing Wujue off, Sun Wukong closed the gate and began his first training session since arriving at Fangcun Mountain.

The Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique is a supreme and wondrous method for tempering the body and refining the spirit.

Sun Wukong possesses unparalleled talent, making him a perfect match for the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique.

Having spent over a decade on the Immortal Island, under Zhao Gongming's meticulous guidance, I have already entered the basics. What I need next is to cultivate step by step.

Inside the courtyard, on an ordinary futon, Sun Wukong was practicing his breathing exercises!

His whole body seemed to have become a small black hole, emitting infinite gravitational force!

Centered on him, the spiritual energy of the surrounding world began to tremble violently, then surged into his body, nourishing his Dao body!

Wujue also arrived outside Sun Wukong's courtyard.

He laid out a prayer mat and began his cultivation, but before his magical power could even complete a full cycle within his body, Wujue was shocked and his eyes widened in surprise!

"Spiritual energy, such rich spiritual energy!"

Wujue's residence was extremely remote, and the spiritual energy there was very thin.

Daily breathing exercises require a great deal of effort, but yield only a 50-60% result, making it a case of doing twice the work for half the benefit.

But practicing next to Sun Wukong's courtyard made Wujue realize for the first time that cultivation was such a wonderful thing.

Time flies when you're in spiritual practice; in the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed!

For the past two weeks, Wujue has been going out to chop wood and fetch water every morning.

He would go to Sun Wukong's courtyard to cultivate at night, and in just over half a month, his magical power had increased by almost twice!

Xi was overjoyed, shaking his head and shaking his head.

But some doubts also arose in my mind!

Brother Wukong, you came to Fangcun Mountain to become a disciple, but judging from your appearance, you already possess wonderful magical abilities!

If that's the case, then why come to Fangcun Mountain to become an apprentice?

Wujue racked his brains but couldn't come up with a solution, so he simply stopped thinking about it and quietly enjoyed the abundant spiritual energy brought by Sun Wukong's cultivation.

For the past two weeks, Sun Wukong has been enjoying his spiritual practice immensely.

However, the other disciples under Subhuti sensed something extremely wrong.

The once misty, mysterious, and pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth has all vanished.

With only a tiny amount of spiritual energy remaining, even after diligently breathing it in for a day and a night, one can only increase their magical power by a negligible amount!

If this continues, how will we be able to understand when the patriarch preaches again?

In the largest courtyard on the back mountain, Guangfa, who had already achieved the status of a terrestrial immortal, flew out.

The aura of a celestial being spread across the back mountain, alarming many courtyards. (End of Chapter)
