Journey to the West: The Eighty-One Tribulations of Being Hairless

Zhou Yi certainly wouldn't take Donghua Dijun's well-intentioned reminder lightly. If even a big shot like the Emperor thinks that Buddhism is petty and holds grudges, then he must be right.

It seems I need to be more careful about Buddhism in the future.

Zhou Yi thought to himself.

After leaving the Taichen Palace in the Thirty-Second Heaven, Zhou Yi, under the guidance of True Monarch Ke Han, first went to the Heavenly Treasury in the Nineteenth Heaven to receive a high-grade immortal treasure robe and a mid-grade immortal treasure spear.

Then, they went to the Thirty-Sixth Heaven, the Great Luo Heaven, the Langhuan Pavilion, the place where the Heavenly Court stored cultivation techniques, supernatural powers and secret arts!

In fact, newly ascended immortals and gods usually join the Heavenly Soldiers, and have five Heavenly Immortal-level cultivation techniques with the five elements to choose from, which are free. This is especially true for the Heavenly Enforcement Department that Zhou Yi joined.

As a seventh-rank law enforcement official, the department can provide one Golden Immortal-level cultivation technique free of charge, and you can also choose two Earthly Fiend Divine Powers or one Heavenly Divine Power secret technique.

Instead of going to the Langhuan Pavilion in the Thirty-Sixth Heaven to buy cultivation techniques!

Yes, it's about buying the cultivation method!

The cultivation techniques in Langhuan Pavilion cost money, and the money in Heaven comes from merit and incense offerings, with merit being the most important. Everyone knows that Zhou Yi is currently in a position of great merit.

Therefore, it was Han Zhangren Zhenjun who suggested that Zhou Yi go to Langhuan Pavilion to buy cultivation techniques!

Zhou Yi agreed without even thinking about it.

The reason is simple: this is also his purpose in ascending to the upper realm!

The world of ghosts and gods in Liaozhai that he was in before was originally just a mid-level minor world. Zhou Yi forcibly upgraded it from a mid-level minor world to a high-level, top-level world, and then made it the current mid-level world.

It was achieved in just a few hundred years.

It can be said that although the Middle Thousand Worlds can support cultivators with higher cultivation levels, its foundation is too shallow, insufficient for the Primordial Great Dao Tree within Zhou Yi's body to absorb more Great Dao information and condense higher-level Dao Fruits!

Yes, it's the Primordial Dao Tree!

This is also Zhou Yi's cheat code for time travel.

This Primordial Dao Tree is a primordial wonder that appeared when Zhou Yi transmigrated to the world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. Zhou Yi did not know exactly what level of primordial wonder it was.

However, its very function is the reason why the Book of Changes could rise to prominence in the world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, where demons and monsters wreaked havoc on humanity.

And its function is to nurture the fruit of the Tao!

There are three kinds of fruits of the path!

The first is the fruit of the Tao!

What is the Tao?

Daoist methods are not simply techniques, but rather a lineage of laws and traditions. A Daoist method is equivalent to opening up a lineage of laws and traditions of one's own, just like the Supreme Daoist Ancestor opening up the Great Dao of Golden Elixir.

However, resources are needed to cultivate the Dao fruit.

The most important resource is merit. Apart from merit, the path to enlightenment also requires information about the Great Dao. The simplest way to obtain information about the Great Dao is to listen to the Dao or collect it from different cultivation methods!

Because different cultivation methods contain different Daoist information.

The Magic Fruit is much simpler. However, compared to the Dao Fruit, which opens up a new lineage of laws, the Magic Fruit is not as extraordinary. It simply evolves and strengthens magical abilities, including skills such as painting and the throwing knife skills that Zhou Yi mastered when he first transmigrated.

The merit required for a magic fruit of the same level is much less than that required for a Taoist fruit.

Besides the Dao Fruit and the Magic Fruit, the last one is the World Fruit!

Yes, it is the fruit of the world. This is something Zhou Yi only realized after he elevated the world of Liaozhai to the Middle Thousand World and obtained the creative sovereignty over the entire world.

There was no world fruit before this.

After seizing control of the Creator's authority, a World Fruit was conceived on the Primordial Dao Tree.

Langhuan Pavilion!

The Heavenly Scripture Pavilion was built by the ancient demon race's Heavenly Court during the reign of Emperor Jun, under the supervision of Celestial Master Bai Ze. This pavilion has four floors and is perfectly round. It is a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure jointly crafted by Fuxi and Emperor Jun!

Later, after spreading the Dharma and accumulating merit, it naturally became a supreme acquired spiritual treasure.

It can be described as a supreme treasure, with the function of suppressing the heavenly court's fortune.

The four-story Langhuan Pavilion has Golden Immortal-level cultivation techniques and Earthly Fiend Divine Powers on the first floor, and Taiyi-level and Heavenly Gang Divine Powers on the second floor.

The third level consists of the Great Luo Technique and Supreme Divine Power!

The final layer contains some quasi-saint level secret techniques, and even supposedly methods to achieve sainthood and divine powers of the Heavenly Dao, though its veracity is unknown.

"Young friend Qinglian, how are you?"

Have you made up your mind? ......

Young friend, the cultivation techniques in Heaven are very affordable. A Great Luo level cultivation technique only costs 500,000 merits. In the mortal realm, let alone 500,000, you probably couldn't even get a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure in exchange!

In the lower realms, such cultivation techniques are the most prized secrets of top sects, the kind that are priceless and unavailable!

Moreover, I'll give you a buy-one-get-two-free deal. For every Grand Luo level cultivation technique you purchase now, I'll give you two Golden Immortal level techniques as a bonus. How about it?

Venus looked at Zhou Yi with a smile and asked with a hint of hope.

As the highest-ranking celestial official in charge of Langhuan Pavilion, he receives a commission for selling the cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities within the pavilion!

Five percent of the total revenue generated by the Langhuan Pavilion's charitable donations each year is his personal bonus!

After listening to Venus's introduction to the Langhuan Pavilion, Zhou Yi was also impressed by the Heavenly Court's profound resources. He had asked the Immortal Cangjie about the price of top-grade acquired spiritual treasures when he was in the Heavenly Treasury!

It would require a million merits.

It can be said that a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure can be exchanged for two Great Luo level cultivation techniques!

Buy one now for 500,000 merits and receive two Golden Immortal-level cultivation techniques as a gift, plus the Golden Immortal-level cultivation technique "Limitless Profound Origin Technique" bestowed upon you by the Heavenly Court's Enforcement Department.

In this way, he would have three Golden Immortal-level cultivation techniques and one Great Luo-level cultivation technique!

The Dao information contained in the four cultivation methods should be sufficient for his Primordial Dao Tree to nurture a lineage of Dao techniques at the Taiyi level.

"In that case, I would like to ask you, senior, to help me find a Grand Luo level cultivation technique for the Golden Core Path!"

Zhou Yi thought for a while and then spoke to Venus.

"Oh? So you cultivate the Golden Core Dao, young friend? That makes sense. The Supreme Dao Ancestor traveled through countless heavens and passed down the Golden Core method in countless worlds, and the Golden Core method is most suitable for the human race... Hmm... This is difficult. Let me do some calculations..."

Taibai stroked his long beard, his expression somewhat troubled!

The Golden Elixir Dao lineage established by the Supreme Dao Ancestor is indeed very suitable for the human race. The Golden Elixir Dao is divided into nine grades, with grades one, two, and three being superior grades, and grades seven, eight, and nine being inferior grades.

Those who are not of the highest rank will find it difficult to become Golden Immortals!

Those who do not reach the first rank have no hope of becoming a Grand Luo!

In other words, to advance to the Great Luo Path, one must first achieve the First Grade Golden Core. However, there are very few cultivation methods for the First Grade Golden Core in the Three Realms. Most of them are within the Human Sect and are rarely passed on to outsiders.

With his eyes slightly closed and his mind working, he suddenly opened his eyes and made a casual gesture within two breaths.

Whoosh...

A golden light flew over; it was a golden jade slip!

"This technique is the Golden Elixir Method created by the Buddhist Peacock King when he sought enlightenment at Shouyang Mountain. It is called the Five Elements One Qi Golden Elixir Technique. However, this method requires the cultivation of five Golden Elixirs, and its resource consumption is five times that of other cultivators."

Therefore, it has been kept on the shelf for a long time!

However, this technique is also the Golden Elixir Method that gives the human race the best chance of advancing to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. When one achieves the Taiyi realm, the five elements unite to form the Primordial Qi, forging the Innate Qi Creation Body!

With innate talent and potential, there is hope for him to become a great immortal...
