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

Chapter 483 Sun Wukong's Growth Over Five Hundred Years

Liu Boqin's home was a large, simple wooden house.

It was quite large, and filled with the pelts of all kinds of prey.

The most common skin is tiger skin, followed by fox skin, then cowhide, deer skin, bear skin, and leopard skin.

Besides these, there are all kinds of cured meat, tiger meat, venison, bear meat, snake meat, and many other varieties.

Liu Boqin's father died early, leaving only his mother at home. She suffered from an eye disease and could not see clearly.

As soon as Liu Boqin entered the house, he said happily, "Mother, an elder from the Great Tang Dynasty has come to our house today."

Although Liu Boqin's eyesight was failing, his hearing was excellent. He immediately came out of the house and said happily, "Elder from the East, Boqin, you must treat him well."

"Don't worry, Mother. Tomorrow is Father's death anniversary. The elders said they will perform a ritual for him tomorrow."

"That's good! Your father suffered his whole life. If a wise person can help him pass on, that would be better than anything else."

It was almost noon, so Liu Boqin went to cook. Looking at the house full of meat, and considering that Jiang Liuer was a nun, he asked awkwardly.

"The elder is a monk, and monks eat vegetarian food. I'll go and get some mountain delicacies and vegetarian dishes right away."

Jiang Liuer waved his hand, "Who said monks don't eat meat? Tiger meat, venison, bear meat, bring it all. And if you have wine, bring it all too."

Liu Boqin's eyes widened, and he stood there stunned for a moment.

Jiang Liuer smiled and said, "Has Taibao ever heard of a saying?"

"Please speak, Elder."

"Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha remains in the heart. As long as Buddha is in your heart, Buddha resides there. What use is vegetarianism and chanting if Buddha is not in your heart?"

Jiang Liuer said with a faint smile.

"Yes, Elder is right, I'll go cook now."

Liu Boqin immediately grabbed a large piece of bear meat and ran into the kitchen.

A full hour and a half later, Liu Boqin opened the kitchen door, and a strong aroma burst out!

Liu Boqin carried out plates of various meats, including venison, snake meat, tiger meat, and bear meat, as well as three large tiger penises, each as long as a child's arm—a highly nutritious food.

In addition, Liu Boqin also brought out his ginseng wine, which he had treasured for many years.

At the dinner table, Jiang Liuer ate meat and drank wine heartily.

Of the three stewed tiger penises, Jiang Liuer ate two and a half by himself.

After finishing the meal, Jiang Liuer felt like he was about to ascend to heaven!

A strong heat rose from my lower abdomen, my face turned red, and I felt like I had inexhaustible energy. It was so nourishing!

"Elder, are you alright?"

Liu Boqin is still somewhat alarmed.

The elder can really eat! Tiger meat and bear meat aside, tiger penis, the most yang-tonifying and highly nourishing substance, he ate two and a half of them in one go. Who could stand that?

"I'm fine, Tai-bao, don't worry."

Jiang Liuer waved his hand, picked up the ginseng wine in his hand, drank it all in one gulp, and then lay down on the table, snoring loudly.

The next morning, Jiang Liuer woke up feeling refreshed and inexplicably comfortable.

Stepping out of the room, Liu Boqin was already tidying up, holding paper money, incense, and candles. Seeing Jiang Liuer wake up, he couldn't help but laugh, "I thought the elder wouldn't get up until the sun was high in the sky, but I didn't expect him to wake up so early."

"Is everything prepared?"

"Everything is ready."

"Alright, let's go then."

Jiang Liuer also packed his bags, and Liu Boqin said, "Elder, please stay a few more days."

Jiang Liuer laughed nonchalantly, "I've slept and eaten, what difference does a day or a month make? I might as well leave now."

"Yes, Elder."

After bidding farewell to Liu's mother, Jiang Liuer followed Liu Boqin to Liu's father's grave.

Jiang Liuer clasped his hands together and recited the Diamond Sutra, repeating it nine times before he finished.

"No matter how great your father's sins are, these nine recitations of the Diamond Sutra are enough to cleanse his sins."

"Thank you, Elder."

After Liu Boqin finished speaking, he added, "It's still over a hundred miles from here to Liangjie Mountain. The mountains are high and the forests are dense, with many tigers, leopards, wolves, and jackals. Why don't I escort the elder to Liangjie Mountain?"

"You have an elderly mother at home, how can this be?"

Liu Boqin said, "I have already set a trap next to the wooden house. Wild beasts will not dare to come near. Mother can cook some food to fill our stomachs. Two or three days should not be a problem."

Seeing that Liu Boqin was so insistent, Jiang Liuer had no choice but to agree.

Jiang Liuer mounted his white horse, and Liu Boqin led the horse, heading straight for Liangjie Mountain.

Three or four days later, the two arrived at the foot of Liangjie Mountain. Further west of Liangjie Mountain was a vast plain, which was much less dangerous than the deep mountains and forests.

Liu Boqin cupped his hands and said, "On your journey to the Western Paradise, please take care, Elder. If you ever return to the Eastern Land, please remember to visit my home again."

"Don't worry, it will."

Jiang Liuer nodded solemnly, patted the horse's rump, and galloped towards Liangjie Mountain.

Soon, Jiang Liuer gradually approached the Two Realms Mountain. Although he hadn't arrived yet, he could already sense an indescribable aura—the aura of an unparalleled demon!

Deep within the Five Finger Mountain, in a spacious area, Sun Wukong sat on a stone platform.

The Monkey King of yesteryear has shed the sharp edge he once displayed when he wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace; all that remains is profound wisdom.

He wore a simple gray robe, his face was calm, and his aura was like a vast ocean, with no limit to its detection!

"What the teacher said is indeed true. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If it weren't for these Taoist scriptures, how could I, Old Sun, be where I am today?"

The aura of a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal emanated from Sun Wukong, and with the slightest movement, it had the power to cause the heavens and earth to collapse!

Back then, Zhao Gongming captured the Five Finger Mountain and suppressed Sun Wukong for five hundred years.

A restriction was set so that Sun Wukong could only break out of the hole when his cultivation reached the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Sun Wukong now possesses this power!

"The five-hundred-year period has arrived. The pilgrim the teacher mentioned should be arriving soon, right? I'm really looking forward to it."

A look of anticipation flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes, then he closed them again and began to cultivate in seclusion.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Liuer rode his steed to the foot of Liangjie Mountain.

Soon, ripples spread through the space, and the Five Directions of the Heavenly Kings emerged from them.

Who are you?

Jiang Liuer said calmly, "My name is Jiang Liuer. I come from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East and am going to the Western Paradise to seek the true scriptures."

"Jin Chanzi!"

The Five Directions Protector narrowed his eyes, slowly nodded, and pointed to Five Finger Mountain.

"Five hundred years ago, a monkey wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, fighting for the thirty-three heavens. The sage was furious and used his great supernatural powers to suppress the monkey at the foot of this mountain. He said that five hundred years later, a pilgrim would go to the Western Paradise to obtain the scriptures. When the time came, the monkey would come out of the mountain and escort the pilgrim on his journey to the west."

"If you are the one on the pilgrimage, today is the day this monkey comes out of the mountain."

Jiang Liuer nodded. "I see. I understand now."

After the Five Directions Protector finished speaking, he transformed into a stream of light and flew away from the Five Finger Mountain.

Jiang Liuer tethered the white horse, walked into Wuzhi Mountain, and placed his hand on the mountain wall.

"Could the monkeys in the mountains hear me?"
