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

Mount Sumeru!

The primordial spiritual energy rose up and liquefied, enveloping the entire mountain range for tens of thousands of miles!

Since the Investiture of the Gods, the two Western Saints used this as a foundation to establish Buddhism, take charge of the Western world, and spread their fortunes far and wide, enlightening the world. They have done immeasurable good deeds.

Lingshan, a naturally formed mountain peak, within a magnificent Buddhist temple, Jin Chanzi frowned as he looked at the young monk before him.

"How strange, how strange!"

Why is the supernatural power of this True Immortal cultivator so strange, constantly devouring the source of life...?

"Teacher, save me!"

The young monk's eyes were filled with panic. He had finally cultivated to become a Golden Immortal, but he never expected to fall into the trap of a junior True Immortal. He knew that the junior was two realms higher than him!

After True Immortal comes Celestial Immortal, and only after Celestial Immortal does Golden Immortal come!

Although I have only just broken through to the first rank of Golden Immortal!

But he was confident that he would become a Great Immortal in the future, because his Golden Cicada clan had great potential and was born with the opportunity to awaken their innate supernatural powers.

"Don't be impatient!"

"As your teacher, I would never stand by and watch someone die!"

Looking at the young monk before him, Jin Chanzi felt helpless!

The Golden Cicada clan are primordial ferocious insects, born with their spirituality obscured. Unless something unexpected happens, it is difficult for them to awaken their intelligence and attain enlightenment!

Cicadas come in different grades: eight-winged cicadas, six-winged cicadas, four-winged cicadas, and the lowest grade, two-winged cicadas!

Generally speaking, the more wings a person has, the higher their potential and the stronger their awakened time-related supernatural powers. However, this also means that the chances of nurturing spirituality become smaller.

Jin Chanzi himself was an eight-winged golden cicada, a Great Luo Golden Immortal!

When the Daoist Zhunti attained enlightenment, he transformed into a Bodhi tree. He flew to the Bodhi tree and took a deep breath of the sap from the Bodhi tree, which opened his mind, broke through the primordial chaos, awakened his spirituality, and nurtured wisdom.

Seeing his great potential, the Taoist Master Zhunti accepted him as his second disciple.

As a member of the Golden Cicada clan, Golden Cicada also wanted to train and cultivate his own power. He was a disciple of a sage, but the position of Buddha in Buddhism was passed on to outsiders by his two teachers.

This made him very resentful.

Therefore, he thought of his own Golden Cicada clan, which has great potential. As long as they awaken their spirituality and open their wisdom, he will definitely have a place in Buddhism in the future, and may even overthrow the Tathagata Many Treasures and become the Buddha himself.

At the very least, one should set up a small Buddhist temple like Lu Ya did.

However, after numerous experiments, it was found that only the two-winged cicada was most likely to awaken its intelligence. Once the cicada awakened its intelligence, the number of its wings would not increase, meaning that its potential would not increase.

The two-winged golden cicada, having awakened its intelligence, has a potential that is at most at the level of a celestial being.

The four-winged golden cicada has the potential to become a Taiyi.

If one possesses a six-winged golden cicada, there is hope of achieving the status of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal is not weak; in Buddhism, that would be considered a Bodhisattva level.

The young monk before him was the only six-winged golden cicada he had successfully awakened to wisdom. Therefore, although he did not take him as a personal disciple, he valued him highly and trained him to the standards of a personal disciple.

"Buzzing..."

After thinking it over, Jin Chanzi once again used his time magic, and a mysterious silver-gray light enveloped the little monk.

However, within a few breaths, Jin Chanzi realized that it had no effect whatsoever.

The young monk's face grew even paler, and he even showed signs of aging, which shocked Jin Chanzi!

Although a Golden Immortal isn't considered a top expert in the Three Realms, it's still the first step towards immortality!

May you live forever!

Once you become a Golden Immortal, you will have an infinite lifespan, as long as the heavens, and you will never have to worry about running out of lifespan. You can then focus on studying supernatural powers and secret techniques, and pursue your hobbies as you please!

Cultivating merit, cultivating fortune, and seeking opportunities are things that cultivators in the Three Realms generally begin to do after they have achieved the status of Golden Immortal.

And now, what does he see?

I was surprised to see that the Golden Immortal cultivator had aged.

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

This time-manipulation ability is truly powerful; it's probably not just an ordinary Heavenly Gang level time-manipulation ability, is it?

The supernatural powers of the Three Realms are generally divided into four levels: Earthly Fiends, Heavenly Generals, Supreme, and Heavenly Dao!

Earthly Fiends are generally supernatural powers cultivated by cultivators below the Great Luo level, while Heavenly Gang are entirely supernatural powers of Great Luo Golden Immortals. This supernatural power can injure Quasi-Saints. As for Supreme Supernatural Powers and Heavenly Dao Supernatural Powers...

This is not something that ordinary people can access!

Unless one can join a powerful force or become a disciple of a saint.

As for the time-related divine abilities at the Heavenly Gang level, Jin Chanzi had awakened two of them.

Recently, he has begun to study the supreme level of time magic. If he can master the supreme level of time magic, with the profound and powerful nature of the Great Dao of Time, he will surely have a place in the Three Realms in the future.

Kong Xuan was known as the number one person below the sage, wasn't that precisely because of his supreme divine power, the Five-Colored Divine Light!

The Great Dao of Time is far more profound than the Great Dao of the Five Elements!

If he succeeds, he dares not say he will be the number one person below the sage, after all, he only has the cultivation of a perfect Great Luo Golden Immortal, but it is certain that no one below the sage can restrain him.

"A supreme-level time-manipulation technique?"

Thinking of this, Jin Chanzi's eyes lit up. "Isn't this my goal!"

Creating a supreme divine power is no easy feat, even for a saint. Unless one is a saint who has attained enlightenment through the Great Dao of Time, and Jin Chanzi is only at the Great Luo Perfection stage, the difficulty is even greater!

Even though the Golden Cicada Clan is a race born from the origin of time, and is naturally in harmony with the Great Dao of Time.

However, creating a time-related supernatural power is difficult, but learning a time-related supernatural power, even a supreme-level one, is absolutely no difficulty for Jin Chanzi, who is born from the origin of time!

"A middle-thousand-world system, possessing supreme time-manipulation abilities..."

"This child has a connection with our Buddhist sect!" Jin Chanzi murmured to himself, his eyes slightly narrowed.

.......

In the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, a nine-tiered golden lotus radiating sacred light enveloped the young monk. Under the divine light, the power of time within the young monk's body was slowly being drawn away.

"This time-related supernatural power is truly profound. If I hadn't comprehended some aspects of the Great Dao of Reincarnation and used its power to cleanse his body, it would have been very difficult to resolve the time poison within him!"

The compassionate-looking Daoist shook his head slightly.

"Senior brother, do you think this child has truly received the blessings of the Great God Pangu?"

Daoist Zhunti also asked curiously.

"That should be the case. If it weren't for the legacy of the Great God Pangu, how could he, with only a minor world, have the ability to upgrade a minor world into a middle world, let alone this mysterious time-related divine power!"

"I fear it truly possesses the supreme divine power that my junior disciple Jin Chan spoke of!"

"This kid is incredibly audacious. He dares to forcibly advance to the World Realm without any innate spiritual root. If he fails, under the karmic force of the Great Dao, in the vast Chaos Realm, there might be no place for him to hide!"

After saying that, Zhunti turned to look at Jin Chanzi and changed the subject!

"Disciple... you have been my disciple for quite some time now, since I became your master. You have been with me since the time I attained enlightenment. With your potential as an Eight-Winged Golden Cicada, reaching the Quasi-Saint Perfection stage should not be difficult, let alone reaching the Primordial Chaos stage."

Yet, to this day, you are still only at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Do you know why?
