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

Time flew by, and another three years passed quietly.

One day, Sun Wukong pestered Li Xuancang to go to the back mountain to pick peaches. Li Xuancang was about to ride the cloud, but Sun Wukong waved his hand.

"Hehe... Senior brother, I, Old Sun, have now also mastered the skill of flying through the clouds. Watch closely, senior brother!"

Sun Wukong made a hand seal in a very professional manner, and then a cloud of mist appeared beneath his feet.

At this moment, Sun Wukong was like someone who had just learned to dog paddle, digging around in the clouds and mist.

As Sun Wukong moved, the entire monkey slowly rose two or three zhang (approximately 6.6-9 meters) off the ground…

Seeing himself take flight, Sun Wukong looked at Li Xuancang with considerable pride.

"Senior brother, what do you think? I, Old Sun, can fly now!"

But Li Xuancang took a step forward, clouds rose from the void, and he appeared beside Sun Wukong in the blink of an eye.

"Wukong, what kind of cloud-riding is that?"

"Being two or three zhang off the ground, what you're doing can barely be considered climbing the clouds."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong scratched his head somewhat embarrassed.

"Hehe... I'm already very happy to be able to fly!"

Upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, Li Xuancang nodded.

"So you're already satisfied with this? I was originally thinking of teaching you a magical ability to fly through the clouds, but it seems I won't need to now."

Sun Wukong immediately became anxious upon hearing this!

"No, no! Senior brother, I, Old Sun, am not satisfied, not at all! I wonder what the name is of that cloud-riding supernatural power you mentioned?"

Seeing Sun Wukong's rather impatient appearance, Li Xuancang spoke softly.

"This supernatural power is called the Somersault Cloud..."

"To be honest, I think this supernatural power suits you quite well."

"Don't you usually like to do somersaults?"

"You should know that this supernatural power allows one to travel 108,000 li in a single somersault!"

"So, want to learn?"

Li Xuancang looked at Sun Wukong with a doting expression, while Sun Wukong nodded frantically without waiting.

"I want to learn! I want to learn! I, Old Sun, want to learn!"

"Please teach me, senior brother!!!"

In this way, Li Xuancang also taught Sun Wukong the method of cultivating the Somersault Cloud.

At this point, Sun Wukong can no longer be considered fully equipped; he is definitely top-tier!

The Great Celestial Immortal Technique, along with the Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts, and in addition, the Thirty-Six Great Divine Powers of the Heavenly Gang and the Seventy-Two Minor Divine Powers of the Earthly Fiends.

Now another somersault cloud has appeared...

The Sun Wukong of today is much stronger than the one in the original story.

Time flies when you're in Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, and several years pass by in the blink of an eye.

Sun Wukong possessed extraordinary talent, and in just a few years, he mastered various supernatural abilities with ease.

Aside from his cultivation, Sun Wukong's favorite thing to do every day was to pester his senior brother, Li Xuancang.

Li Xuancang did not remain in Lingtai Fangcun Mountain for arduous cultivation; he also went out several times during this period.

They created some cultivation techniques, crafted some magical artifacts, and exchanged some skill proficiency enhancement cards from players in batches.

Li Xuancang has now used upgrade cards to boost his cultivation to the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

In the current primordial world, a cultivation level of Taiyi Golden Immortal is already considered a powerful being.

In addition, Li Xuancang also learned a lot about Blue Star from the forum on his own game panel.

Firstly, the revival of spiritual energy on Earth has been ongoing.

The most obvious sign is that the amount of spiritual energy is increasing!

As the total amount of spiritual energy increased, the physical fitness of the Earthlings improved.

Besides that, what shocked the people of Blue Star the most was that the cultivation techniques in the game world seemed to be able to work in the real world as the spiritual energy in Blue Star increased!

This has made countless people on Earth even more eager to play the game Journey to the West.

Besides the revival of spiritual energy, another point is that the length of a day in the game is gradually increasing after players log in.

Many players speculate that, as the game progresses, the time spent in the game may eventually reach a one-to-one ratio with the time spent in real life.

Of course, this is all just speculation, and nobody knows what the final ratio of game time to real-life time will be...

Finally, there's the increasing number of paranormal events on Earth.

It may not be appropriate to call it a paranormal event, because the changes on Earth occurred as spiritual energy revived.

Some people saw ghosts, while others saw animals that could speak simple human language!

As players learn more about the game Journey to the West, the people of Blue Star unanimously believe that ghosts and monsters are real.

Moreover, as the game has progressed, although no player has actually become an immortal, everyone has a fairly good understanding of the background world of Journey to the West.

Therefore, the people of Earth firmly believe that terrifying forces such as the Heavenly Court and the Underworld absolutely exist!

Li Xuancang only learned about some changes on Blue Star through the game forums, and didn't know much in detail. He only learned bits and pieces through some exchanges between players.

Li Xuancang didn't really care about how things changed on Blue Star.

After all, from a player's perspective, they are now just an NPC.

Even though he has now reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, he still cannot return to Blue Star…

As time went on, Li Xuancang also knew that the day when Sun Wukong would leave Lingtai Fangcun Mountain was approaching.

According to his master's arrangement, after Sun Wukong left Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, he himself was about to head to the Heavenly Court.

With his hands behind his back, gazing at the vast sky, he realized that although he had cultivated for over three thousand years and had even met Nezha and Li Jing before, he still had no idea what the Heavenly Court looked like.

Just then, Li Xuancang suddenly heard a commotion coming from the front mountain.

Looking into the distance, it turned out to be Sun Wukong and his fellow disciples using their supernatural powers...

However, at that moment, Subhuti slowly walked to where his disciples were.

"Why are you making such a fuss here?"

The disciples looked at each other, bowed, and then hurriedly and obediently left.

Just as Sun Wukong was about to leave, he was stopped by Patriarch Subhuti.

"Wukong~"

Upon hearing his master call his name, Sun Wukong hurriedly turned around.

But at this moment, Subhuti's expression looked very serious...

"Wukong, do you practice transformation techniques just to show off in front of others?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong hurriedly bowed.

"Master, I know I was wrong, and I beg your forgiveness!"

Upon hearing this, Subhuti nodded and spoke softly…

"I won't punish you... You... Go..."

Sun Wukong initially thought his master was simply telling him to step back, but as soon as he turned around, he sensed something was amiss.

"Master, where do you want me to go?"

"Where we come from, we return to where we came from," said Subhuti, gazing into the distance.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately became anxious and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Subhuti's robe.

"ah?!"

"Master, I have received immense kindness from your teachings, and I am unable to repay it. How can I leave?!"

But Subhuti remained unmoved.

"Forget about repaying me. Just don't mention it if you cause trouble in the future."
