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

Just as Li Xuancang was secretly thinking to himself that the emperor was really cunning.

The Tongtian Sect Leader suddenly looked at Li Xuancang with a half-smile.

"Hmm? My disciple... why do I always feel like you're thinking something bad? You don't mean to think I'm too cunning, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xuancang hurriedly shook his head.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Master! You are my dearest and most respected master!"

"How could I possibly think of you that way?"

"Master, if you continue to say such things, I will sue you for defamation!"

After saying these words, Li Xuancang swallowed hard, thinking to himself.

I rely on! ! !

Are saints really that terrifying?

Is this the legendary mind-reading ability?

Can you see right through someone's heart at a glance?

Just then, the Tongtian Sect Leader slowly shook his head.

"My disciple, you're overthinking it. I don't possess any mind-reading abilities, but a sage can indeed see through another's heart at a glance. However, don't worry, I haven't seen through you..."

"Because I have taught so many disciples, I know that children all hope to have some private space."

"So don't worry, your teacher isn't someone without boundaries."

At this point, the Tongtian Sect Leader paused, but there was still one sentence left unsaid.

That is... even I, your teacher, truly cannot see through you...

However, Li Xuancang was shocked at this moment!

"Master! You still say you haven't seen through me?!"

Seeing his disciple's surprised expression, the Tongtian Sect Leader smiled again.

"Because you're too young, all your thoughts are written on your face."

"My disciple, you are very intelligent, but you must also remember your master's words: in this primordial world, strength is ultimately the most important thing."

"Wisdom without strength is ultimately just a castle in the air."

"For example, if you were to travel through the prehistoric world now, those truly powerful beings would only address you as 'young friend,' not 'fellow Daoist.'"

Xuan Cang was stunned when he heard this.

"Master, the true powerhouse you speak of is probably at least a Great Luo Golden Immortal or a Quasi-Saint, isn't it?"

"I haven't even reached the Human Immortal realm yet. In the eyes of such a powerful being, I'm probably just a mere ant."

"And what right do I have to be called a young friend?"

Seeing his disciple's puzzled look, the Tongtian Sect Leader burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha... Have you forgotten whose disciple you are?"

"If my disciples, who possess the Heavenly Power, dare to call themselves ants, then I, their master, will show them what it means to be ants even below the level of a sage!"

Upon hearing his master's words, Li Xuancang felt somewhat powerless.

good good!

This fantasy world of cultivation is truly divided into the realms of ants, junior friends, fellow Daoists, and seniors!

However, this also reminded Xuancang of some rumors.

That is, according to legend, the Three Pure Ones each represent a certain age group.

Taiqing Laozi is old, Yuanshi Tianzun is middle-aged, and Tongtian Jiaozhu is young.

Therefore, among the Three Pure Ones, the Tongtian Sect Leader is the most unconventional, the Primordial Heavenly Lord values ​​face the most, and the Taiqing Laozi is the most composed and also the most skilled in scheming.

Judging from the current situation, my master's personality does seem to be quite unpredictable...

After chatting with the Tongtian Sect Leader for a few more minutes, Li Xuancang asked the question that he most wanted to know the answer to.

"Master, you previously said that a chosen one would be born during the Journey to the West calamity. When will this chosen one be born?"

Li Xuancang naturally knew who the chosen one was—none other than the future Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong.

The reason for asking this question is to find out how much longer I can continue my peaceful cultivation in Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

Because after Sun Wukong finishes his apprenticeship, Subhuti, also known as Tongtian Jiaozhu, will leave Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

I don't know what my master will do for me then.

Upon hearing Li Xuancang's question, the Tongtian Sect Leader did not hide anything.

My disciple is intelligent, and he's right here under my nose, so it's alright to tell him about the great eons.

"Three thousand years from now will be the time when that chosen one is born..."

More than three thousand years?

Upon hearing this time, Li Xuancang breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems I still have over three thousand years to develop.

As mentioned in Journey to the West, Sun Wukong did not immediately set sail to seek immortality after his birth.

Instead, after enjoying himself on Huaguo Mountain for hundreds of years, he traveled across the ocean to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, where he only studied martial arts for a few years.

With over three thousand years of experience, my innate human heritage, and the personal guidance of a sage, my strength shouldn't be too bad when the Journey to the West begins, right?

People like Yang Jian and Nezha didn't actually cultivate for very long during the Investiture of the Gods calamity.

Even if I am not as good as the two of them, I have been cultivating for a long time!

After chatting for a few more minutes, the Master of Tongtian left the quiet room.

Meanwhile, Li Xuancang was also preparing to relax a bit.

Having just embarked on the path of cultivation, I'm finding it quite difficult to adjust at this stage.

The vast wilderness knows no years, and the sea has turned into mulberry fields.

Time stands still in this small mountain.

Time flies, and three years have passed quietly.

In fact, Li Xuancang himself couldn't remember how much time had passed since he became a disciple; he only knew that the peaches on the back mountain had ripened three times.

During these three years, the Tongtian Sect Leader often preached to Li Xuancang.

However, because Li Xuancang had not broken through to the Human Immortal realm, what the Tongtian Sect Leader explained was not the path of cultivation.

Instead, it contains various secrets of the primordial world, as well as stories of various forces and powerful figures...

It can be said that in these three years, Li Xuancang has basically understood the prehistoric world.

Previously, Li Xuancang's understanding of the subject was limited to myths and legends, but now it was being explained personally by a sage.

However, Li Xuancang did not spend the entire three years listening to stories.

Li Xuancang diligently practiced the Shangqing Immortal Techniques transmitted by the Tongtian Sect Master every day.

Today, Li Xuancang felt it was time for him to break through to the realm of human immortals!

Become an immortal in three years!!!

If this were placed in other low-level martial arts worlds or fantasy worlds, such a cultivation speed would be considered heaven-defying, and could even be called a genius that appears only once every 100,000 years.

But even this speed was considered ordinary by the Tongtian Sect Leader.

However, Li Xuancang was already very satisfied, because from today onwards he would be a true immortal.

Most importantly, after breaking through, one can then cultivate other supernatural abilities and techniques…

All that could be seen was Li Xuancang sitting cross-legged on a futon, the Shangqing Immortal Technique operating on its own, and spiritual energy flowing into his body.

The Shangqing Immortal Method is a path to sainthood, and Li Xuancang's origins are those of a primordial human, so breaking through to the realm of human immortals naturally did not involve any stagnation.

As spiritual energy surged into his dantian, Li Xuancang felt completely refreshed.

The spiritual energy within the meridians is several times stronger than before!

Most importantly, Li Xuancang could sense that what he was releasing with a wave of his hand now was real magical power, not the qi he used before.

In other words, from this moment on, I am no longer an ordinary person!
