Ming Dynasty: Gain one supernatural power every day

Pigsy glanced down and saw that the jungle ahead was so dense that no light could penetrate, with ancient trees reaching for the sky and vines covering the ground, making it indeed inconvenient for the army to pass through.

However, to him, this kind of woodland was no different from the weeds in his own backyard.

He casually replied, "Your Majesty, brother, this is nothing. Please wait here for a moment, I, Old Pig, will be right back."

Zhu Di nodded slightly and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Marshal." He then instructed Zhu Gaoxu to go and relay the order.

Zhu Gaochi descended from the clouds and shouted to Zhang Fu, "Pass down the order: the army, stand by! My brother, Marshal Tianpeng is about to clear the way, so keep your eyes wide open and watch!"

After saying that, he couldn't wait to ride the cloud back to his original spot, took out the jade pendant and pointed it at Pigsy, afraid of missing a single moment.

Upon receiving the order, Zhang Fu immediately instructed the messenger to relay it to the entire army.

The tens of thousands of troops slowly came to a stop in the narrow valley. The footsteps of the rhinoceroses and war elephants gradually subsided, and the once grand marching activity fell silent in an instant.

Zhang Fu, Qiu Fu, officials from the Han Prince's residence, and officials from the Rui Prince's residence all looked up in unison, their eyes fixed on the golden-armored figure in the air.

Zhang Fu lowered his voice and said to Zheng Heng, "With Marshal Tianpeng, who commands 80,000 naval troops, making a move, we can finally broaden our horizons."

Without turning his head, Jung Hyung stared straight ahead, his eyes unblinking: "Don't talk, it's about to start."

Zhu Gaochi held up the jade tablet and shouted to Zhu Bajie, "Brother, we're waiting for you here! Let everyone witness your supernatural powers!"

"I, Pigsy, am off!" Pigsy laughed loudly, carrying his rake and riding a cloud forward.

He slowly descended to the front of the army formation. The moment he landed, his golden armor flashed in the sunlight, like a nail firmly planted on the ground.

Tens of thousands of soldiers gazed at the golden figure from afar. He had broad shoulders and a nine-toothed rake slung diagonally over his shoulder, its blade gleaming with an eerie light.

"Big"

Suddenly, the golden figure shouted, and its shape began to change rapidly.

First, my head went above the treetops, then my shoulders went over the mountainside, my waist was still being pulled upwards, and my legs were still sinking downwards.

Every gold leaf on the armor was magnified in sync, and the nine-toothed rake also grew longer and wider, with the light on the rake blade becoming brighter and brighter, like nine silver celestial blades.

"It's gotten bigger! Look! The Marshal has gotten bigger!" A soldier in the back shouted in surprise. This shout was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, and the whole crowd was in an uproar.

"Marshal Tianpeng has manifested his divine power!"

"My God, it's still getting bigger, so big, how big is it—" Exclamations and gasps rose and fell.

On the cloud, the jade pendant in Zhu Gaoxu's hand almost flew out.

He rode the Tiger King, watching helplessly as the figure below grew larger and larger, first reaching the level of the mountain, then the mountain peak only reached his waist, and then even the mountaintop only reached his knees.

The Tiger King let out a low roar, its four paws pawing nervously at the clouds, clearly also agitated by the sight before it.

While steadying his mount, Zhu Gaoxu shouted loudly, "Brother! Amazing! Absolutely amazing! No wonder you're Marshal Tianpeng!"

He had only ever seen this kind of magical ability to change size at will in Song and Yuan dynasty plays and storybooks before.

What kind of gods and demons could transform into beings thousands of feet tall, with heads like Mount Tai and waists like towering mountains? I saw it with my own eyes today, and it was truly awe-inspiring.

Zhu Gaoxi was also holding up the jade plaque while recording the video.

The "Transformation of Heaven and Earth" is Sun Wukong's signature supernatural power in Journey to the West. Although Zhu Bajie's transformation is not as exaggerated as Wukong's, Zhu Bajie seems to have said that he can grow so long that he can punch a hole in the sky.

He recalled the scene in the original story where Pigsy cleared a path through the Thorn Ridge. At that time, the second brother also grew bigger and used a rake to clear a path through the eight hundred miles of thorns.

Compared to the Thorn Ridge on the Journey to the West, this jungle in front of us is practically a miniature landscape.

Below, Zhang Fu looked up at the enormous figure that had already towered into the clouds, his facial muscles twitching slightly from shock.

He nudged Zheng Heng next to him with his elbow: "Old Zheng, how big...how big is this?"

"It's still getting bigger, Old Zhang! The Marshal is still getting bigger!" Zheng Heng's voice also changed.

"The head—the marshal's head has already disappeared into the clouds! I can't see his head anymore!" he said, standing on tiptoe, craning his neck to the limit, holding the jade pendant high in his hand, almost tilting his whole body over the back of the lion.

Qiu Fu stood on the broad back of the rhinoceros, much taller than when he was riding a horse.

Without the jade plaque, he could only watch helplessly as his colleagues around him held up their jade plaques and recorded videos, feeling both anxious and envious.

But the scene before them was so shocking that the figure was so large that it gave the illusion that it wasn't a person who had grown bigger, but rather the entire world that was shrinking.

He couldn't help but rub his hands together, a thought swirling in his mind: His Highness Prince Rui, you haven't forgotten the portion you said you'd give me separately, have you? You haven't forgotten, have you?

Zhu Gaoxi in the sky swept his mental energy across the area below.

Riding lions in front were Zhang Fu, Zheng Heng, and others, followed closely by officials from the Prince Rui's residence. Qiu Fu sat on the back of a rhinoceros slightly behind, with a soldier driving it beside him. He sat obediently to the side, looking rather pitiful.

Zhu Gaoxi suddenly remembered that he had promised to give Qiu Fu a separate mount and jade token, but one thing led to another and he completely forgot.

He secretly made a mental note: after we finish fighting at Ailiu Pass, I'll first give Qiu Fu the jade token and the mount.

At this moment, Pigsy's enormous body stood firmly between heaven and earth.

His head had already disappeared above the clouds; from below, all that could be seen were two massive legs thicker than mountains and the aura of golden armor around his waist.

The nine-toothed rake in his hand stretched across the clouds like a pillar supporting the sky, and the light on the rake blades drew streaks of golden lightning in the clouds.

When Pigsy heard Zhu Gaoxu's excited, incoherent shouts from the clouds, he turned his head slightly, the movement slow and heavy, carrying an indescribable air of authority.

His voice came down from the sky, deep and resonant like muffled thunder rolling overhead, each word making the valley hum: "Gentlemen, I, Old Pig, will make a fool of myself!"

Riding on the back of the Fierce Tiger King, Zhu Gaoxu was so excited that his beard stood on end. He shouted, "Brother, your supernatural powers are amazing! You've broadened our horizons! Brother, at this rate of growth, when will it ever end? Can you keep growing?"

Pigsy chuckled in the sky, his laughter shaking the clouds and startling several birds who tumbled down from them: "If I, Old Pig, were to grow to my fullest, I could grow so big I could poke a hole in the sky! But for now, this should be enough!"

Below, Zhang Fu took a deep breath and suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs, "Marshal, you are mighty!"

These four words were like a spark falling into a pile of dry firewood.
