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

Chapter 444 Two Hundred Years in the Blink of an Eye, Leaving Fangcun Mountain

Sun Wukong smiled and, without holding back, directly passed the Somersault Cloud to Wujue. Wujue carefully comprehended the profound mystery of the Somersault Cloud, becoming completely absorbed in it and unable to extricate himself.

A full fifteen minutes passed before he finally came to his senses, and he stammered excitedly, "Junior Brother Wukong, this..."

Sun Wukong patted Wujue on the shoulder with relief, smiled and nodded, "Practice with peace of mind. If you encounter anything you don't understand, feel free to come and ask me."

"Junior Brother Wukong."

Wujue's eyes welled up with tears; he was deeply moved.

After Subhuti taught Sun Wukong the Somersault Cloud technique, and Sun Wukong then taught it to Wujue, three months passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Subhuti once again opened his altar to preach, and his disciples flocked to him. After the sermon, Subhuti ordered Sun Wukong to come and find him again.

At midnight, Sun Wukong arrived as scheduled. This time, Subhuti taught him the Great Celestial Immortal Technique. Upon receiving the Great Celestial Immortal Technique, Sun Wukong was not happy at all; instead, he showed disgust on his face. Compared with the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique, what exactly was this Great Celestial Immortal Technique?

Upon returning to his cave, Sun Wukong did not hesitate at all and immediately taught Wujue the Great Celestial Immortal Technique.

Having realized the wondrous methods of immortality, he was overjoyed and practiced diligently every day, never daring to slack off. His cultivation level rose steadily, and his accumulation became deeper day by day.

Over the next year, Subhuti selected the Seventy-Two Transformations and taught them to Sun Wukong.

The Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang and the Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earthly Fiends were both techniques that were categorized and organized after the Dao Ancestor Hongjun preached and explained them in the Zixiao Palace.

The Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang, in essence, are all derived from laws. For example, the Golden Light of the Earth, when cultivated to its greatest extent, allows one to comprehend the laws of space.

By manipulating creation and cultivating to the highest level, one can comprehend the laws of creation. The Five Elements Great Escape represents the laws of the Five Elements, while the Seven Arrows of Nailhead represent the laws of curses.

Therefore, the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang is also known as an endless immortal technique, because according to the core of the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang, theoretically, one can continue to cultivate indefinitely. Of course, theory is just theory, and whether one can continue to cultivate indefinitely depends on the cultivator's aptitude, fortune, and luck.

As for the Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends, their power is clearly a level lower. As the name suggests, it is merely a simple transformation technique and has nothing to do with laws.

With the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Skill at his disposal, Sun Wukong naturally looked down on the Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends and passed them all on to Wujue.

After passing on all the things he had prepared in advance to Sun Wukong, Subhuti rarely appeared in public anymore, but instead kept a close watch on Sun Wukong in the dark.

Once Sun Wukong's cultivation reached a certain level, he went with the flow and began to plan the great calamity of the Journey to the West.

Subhuti stopped preaching, leaving plenty of time for Sun Wukong to cultivate.

Ten years after becoming a disciple of Fangcun Mountain, Sun Wukong, having mastered all the skills, reached the celestial realm.

In the twenty-fifth year, he went a step further and reached the level of a true immortal.

In his sixtieth year, he broke through to the Xuanxian realm.

Time flies, and a great calamity is brewing. Two hundred years after Sun Wukong arrived at Fangcun Mountain, he achieved the Five Elements Convergence and cultivated to the point of Golden Immortal perfection. He was only one step away from becoming a Taiyi Golden Immortal who could condense the Three Flowers on his head.

During these two hundred years, Sun Wukong did not make a move. He was at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, but no one knew his true strength.

Inside the Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars, Subhuti secretly calculated with his fingers and slowly made up his mind. He could not delay any longer. The monkey was already at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm. The great tribulation was about to begin, and the next step of the operation could be carried out. The stronger the monkey's cultivation was, the more difficult it would be for the Buddhist sect to control him.

On this day, the long-lost sound of the Dao resounded in the Three Star Cave, and the disciples' faces showed surprise and joy. The patriarch was going to preach again.

Behind the mountain, in the dense forest, two wooden houses stood side by side. Suddenly, the door of one of the houses was pushed open, and Wujue, with his clear features and extraordinary demeanor, walked out, his brows full of confidence.

Wujue walked to another gate and gently knocked on it. "Senior Brother, the Patriarch is about to give a sermon."

A moment later, the gate opened, and Sun Wukong walked out. He was still the same as when he first arrived at Fangcun Mountain more than two hundred years ago, except that his aura had become even more profound and vast.

"We certainly can't miss the patriarch's sermons."

Sun Wukong called out and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars. Wujue quickly followed behind.

Two hundred years have passed, and Wujue has made great progress. He is now a proper celestial cultivator and, apart from Sun Wukong, can be considered the number one person in the Fangcun Mountain lineage.

The two arrived at the Three Star Cave, where there were already many people, almost all the disciples of the Fangcun Mountain lineage had arrived.

A moment later, Subhuti slowly emerged from the cave, glanced at his disciples, and said, "I have not summoned you here today to impart knowledge and answer your questions, but to tell you something else."

The disciples felt a chill run down their spines. For some reason, they had a bad feeling, as if something terrible was about to happen.

Subhuti said slowly and deliberately, "All good things must come to an end. I have been in Xiniu Hezhou for quite some time. From this day forward, I will be traveling through the Three Realms. You should all go down the mountain. From now on, there will be no Subhuti on Fangcun Mountain, nor any disciples of the Fangcun Mountain lineage."

"The Patriarch."

The disciples' faces clearly showed their reluctance to part.

Subhuti waved his hand, then gave Sun Wukong a meaningful look. "After you go down the mountain, you are not allowed to say that you are Subhuti's disciples. If you carelessly reveal your master's lineage, I will personally skin you alive, tear out your tendons, and banish your primordial spirit to the deepest hell, where you will never be reborn. Do you all understand?"

The disciples had always known that once the patriarch made a decision, it could not be changed, so they nodded with tears in their eyes.

Subhuti's figure flashed and then suddenly dissipated. The disciples felt a dizzying sensation, and when they opened their eyes again, they were already outside the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave.

Suddenly, a disciple cried out in surprise. Everyone looked over and saw that the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave was dissipating inch by inch. In the blink of an eye, it had vanished completely, as if it had never existed.

"The patriarch is truly gone."

Some disciples couldn't believe it, their expressions blank.

However, some disciples took it all in stride, turning back to pack their things and prepare to descend the mountain. They believed that what they had learned on this small platform would be enough to benefit them for a lifetime.

Sun Wukong casually asked Wujue, "Now that the Patriarch is gone, what are your plans?"

"I have no parents, and my patriarch has passed away; I don't know where to go."

Wujue shook his head dejectedly, his eyes filled with confusion.

Sun Wukong took the initiative to invite, "Junior Brother Wujue, if you don't mind that my hometown, Flower Fruit Mountain, is remote, why don't you come back to Flower Fruit Mountain with me?"

Wujue's eyes lit up. "Really? It's possible?"

"Why not?"

Sun Wukong asked in return.

"Okay, then I'll go with you."

Wu Jue nodded firmly.
