Journey to the West Arrives: Start by becoming an apprentice of the Tongtian Sect Leader!

As the spiritual energy of Earth revived, the number of players logging into the Journey to the West game surged instantly.

The number of players has doubled instantly, from several billion to billions.

According to statistics, the number of players of the Journey to the West game has now exceeded 10 billion!

As more new players joined and their skill proficiency improved, the number of cards became abundant again, and cards began to circulate wildly among players.

Some people use the cards to improve their own strength, while others hoard the cards to resell and become rich overnight.

Another group of people haven't forgotten that in the game, there were immortals who would use cultivation techniques and magical artifacts to exchange for upgrade cards.

Therefore, hoarding cards is a way to try one's luck and see if one can encounter an immortal, in which case one can exchange them for higher-level cultivation techniques or magical artifacts.

Meanwhile, at Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

Li Xuancang also learned about the changes on Blue Star through the world channel on the game panel. From the exchanges between players in the world channel, Li Xuancang summarized a lot of information.

It seems my previous guess was indeed correct...

This world is absolutely a real world.

In the future, both Earth and this world will undergo unpredictable changes.

Thinking of this, Li Xuancang took a deep breath.

In any case, strength is the foundation!

Now that Sun Wukong has successfully become a disciple, according to the original Journey to the West story, he will leave Lingtai Fangcun Mountain in a dozen years.

At that time, my master Subhuti, also known as Tongtian Jiaozhu, will also leave this place...

According to Master's arrangement, I will go to Heaven at that time.

The great calamity of the Journey to the West will also be fully underway.

At that time, there will be a series of events such as Sun Wukong being recruited into the Heavenly Court and then causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

After I go to the Heavenly Court, I will most likely face off against Li Jing!

It seems I need to further enhance my strength before heading to the Heavenly Court.

At the very least, one needs to reach the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. With that strength, many things within this Journey to the West calamity will become much easier to manage…

While Li Xuancang was still thinking about the future development direction, Sun Wukong suddenly hopped and skipped to where Li Xuancang was.

"Hehe...Senior Brother!"

"Is Senior Brother cultivating?"

Sun Wukong swayed as he squatted down in front of Li Xuancang, looking at Li Xuancang, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, with some curiosity.

Looking at the mischievous little monkey in front of him, who would have thought that this little monkey would one day cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, and who would have thought that he himself had become the monkey's senior brother.

Li Xuancang smiled at Sun Wukong.

"You little monkey! Your master instructed you to cultivate etiquette and learn to read and write, so why don't you go and study properly instead of coming here to me?"

Sun Wukong just smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Hehe... Senior brother, I, Old Sun, have been smelling the fragrance of peaches wafting from the back mountain, and I really can't resist it."

"Our master is resting, so I thought I'd come and talk to my senior brother."

"Could I, Old Sun, go to the back hill and pick some peaches to eat?"

Sun Wukong was scratching his head as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Li Xuancang shook his head and chuckled...

All I can say is that a monkey is a monkey.

The scent of peaches from the back hill can be clearly smelled from the front hill.

Li Xuancang stood up and spoke.

"I have nothing else to do anyway. Since you want to go to the back mountain to pick peaches, then I'll accompany you."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong was overjoyed.

"Thank you so much, senior brother! Thank you so much, senior brother!"

Taking Sun Wukong along to pick peaches was naturally not a walk. Li Xuancang rode on a cloud, and Sun Wukong climbed onto the cloud in three quick steps.

Immediately afterwards, Li Xuancang rode the clouds toward the back mountain.

Sun Wukong, high above the clouds, was incredibly excited!

"Waaaaah!!! Awooooo!!!"

"Hehehe! Hahaha!"

"I, Old Sun, am flying! I, Old Sun, am flying!!!"

"Senior brother! Higher! Faster!"

"Hehehehehe!!!"

Sun Wukong was seen dancing excitedly on the clouds. Looking at this clever little monkey, Li Xuancang showed a doting smile.

As the senior brother, I naturally want my junior brother to fly higher and faster.

So Li Xuancang rode the clouds and flew around Lingtai Fangcun Mountain several times...

Sun Wukong experienced the feeling of flying through the clouds and was immediately satisfied.

The man and the monkey arrived at the back of Fangcun Mountain.

Sun Wukong asked with some curiosity.

"Senior brother, when do you think I, Old Sun, will be able to learn this skill of flying through the clouds?"

When Sun Wukong asked these questions, his eyes were filled with longing.

Li Xuancang spoke softly...

"When your master first taught you etiquette and literacy, it was actually to lay a solid foundation for you. Otherwise, if he passed on the cultivation techniques to you but you don't even know how to read, how will you learn them?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong felt that what his senior brother said didn't seem to make any mistakes.

However, Sun Wukong's desire for enlightenment was so strong that he asked again.

"Senior brother, how long have you been cultivating under our master's tutelage?"

Upon hearing this question, a hint of reminiscence appeared on Li Xuancang's face.

"I have been cultivating for over three thousand years..."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he hurriedly pressed for an answer.

"Senior brother has been cultivating for over three thousand years. Does that mean you have already achieved immortality?"

Li Xuancang casually picked a peach from the peach tree and threw it to Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong hurriedly reached out and took the peach, rubbed the fuzz off the peach with both hands, and then took a bite without waiting.

Meanwhile, Li Xuancang began answering Sun Wukong's question.

"Immortality? Heh... In ordinary terms, I have indeed achieved immortality."

"After all, I've been cultivating the Dao for over three thousand years. Among mortals, wouldn't that be considered immortality?"

"But Wukong, the path of cultivation has no end..."

"Your senior brother is currently at the Golden Immortal realm, but above the Golden Immortal realm is the Taiyi Golden Immortal, above the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm is the Daluo Golden Immortal, and above the Daluo Golden Immortal realm are other realms!"

"The path of cultivation can be said to be endless. If you only want to achieve ordinary longevity, with your talent, you can easily achieve longevity by learning a few things."

"But if you want to possess real skills, if you want to truly roam freely in this world, then you must learn something real!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong looked thoughtful and even forgot to finish the peach in his hand.

After thinking for a moment, Sun Wukong was somewhat confused.

"Senior brother, what do you mean by true skill?"

Li Xuancang burst into laughter upon hearing this…

"Hahahaha... Wukong, listen to this!"

"Soaring through the clouds isn't a real skill, nor is summoning wind and rain; even living for thousands of years doesn't qualify as a real skill!"

"If one day you stand atop the heavens, and all the gods and Buddhas bow before you, that is true skill!"
