The sea waves seethed, each wave higher than the previous, soaring high into the sky. However, they brought along a tremendous force and came crashing down, bringing forth even more turbulent waves.
Under the mighty power of heaven and earth, everything was crushed into dust.
Amidst the raging waves, there was a small boat swaying. It was on the verge of collapsing under the ravages of the storm, but it faced the attacks head-on. It was slammed into the seawater time and time again, but it floated up firmly. The wind couldn't blow it down, and the water couldn't destroy it … It fearlessly charged into the storm time and time again.
A golden figure stood on it. His seemingly hunched body had a resolute and unwavering disposition. He held onto the sail tightly with both hands and set sail against the wind. His body swayed along with the boat, as if he was in danger of dying at the bottom of the sea at any moment.
However, that pair of golden eyes remained as bright as the most resplendent stars in the sky, inextinguishable.
This heart and this will couldn't be shaken!
This time around, I must definitely find an unfettered art that will allow me to live forever!
…
His faith was like an ancient rock that couldn't be burned or smashed. It was as if nothing in the world was able to shake his will.
The strongest thing in the world had never been the innate divinity.
Only by being invincible in one's heart would one be truly invincible!
The golden monkey faced the thousand-layer waves, vowing not to return until it attained immortality!
Although the powers of heaven and earth were boundless, there would eventually be a time when they were exhausted.
Finally, the storm calmed down, and a rainbow streaked across the sky.
The small boat was pushed forward by the tide, drifting straight ahead.
The storm had really passed. Only then did the golden monkey heave a deep sigh of relief. Only then did its tensed heart completely relax. It lay on the small boat and slept soundly.
It was tired!
The moment it slept, the world turned dark, and the sun and moon rotated.
When it opened its eyes again, golden light flashed, shooting out a glow of wisdom that hadn't been there before.
Had he come to the mythological illusion-scape again?
Feng Lin stood up and looked at the surroundings. The sea was vast, and it seemed that he had already left the Flowerfruit Mountain.
If he didn't see wrongly, what he was experiencing now should be the scene of the stone monkey going out to seek the Dao.
This would be an extremely long path until he found Patriarch Subhuti in the Aparagodānīya Continent!
However, no matter how long he experienced in the illusion-scape, it was just an instant in the outside world. it was like a dream.
Feng Lin wasn't anxious either. He immersed himself in comprehending the mythological mysteries.
The small boat swayed, slowly but inexorably moving toward the land at the end of the sea. That place was …
South State!
The sea was merciless, and the journey was endless.
Feng Lin's spirit force concealed itself as he followed the monkey's footsteps.
Storms raged incessantly all along the way, and they experienced all sorts of dangers that seemed like they could destroy the heavens and the earth. Everything seemed real, and it caused one's state of mind to rise and fall. It was extremely shocking.
On the other hand, the stone monkey's Dao Heart was firm like a rock, and it hadn't been damaged in the slightest after experiencing the tempering of wind and rain. On the contrary, it became sharper and sharper as it was tempered, and it transformed into a dazzling and crystalline heart that didn't have the slightest distracting thoughts.
This was the path of seeking immortality, and also the path of seeking the Dao, to understand one's own heart.
Feng Lin was immersed in the scene. It was as though he had fused together with the monkey, and there was no distinction between them. His spirit also gradually sank into a tranquil state, like an ancient well without any ripples.
Traveling together with myths and legends, unearthing genes and tempering one's spirit — this was where the profoundness of the Mythology Deduction Method lay.
Feng Lin suddenly sensed that he had comprehended a deeper profoundness of the Daoheart Gene. His genetic power was already stirring.
But this was not enough!
He wanted to find the path to break through to the adept realm in one go and awaken the Houtian Gene, which was above the Heaven Gene.
The sea was vast, and there was still a limit to it.
Finally, the small boat reached the shore, and the stone monkey stepped onto a vast land. There were countless countries, and countless legends of humanity were played out.
All of this was so novel to the monkey that it had exceeded its imagination.
These races were the same as it. They also had four arms and four legs, but they didn't have tails.
They looked like the same species as it, yet they didn't. This caused it to feel strange and surprised.
However, when it harbored great curiosity and stepped into the human world, it attracted a series of cries of 'demons'. There were also many so-called immortal cultivators who came to subdue the demons.
The stone monkey could only scurry away like a rat.
Feng Lin watched this scene from the side and smiled.
An idea flashed through his mind. This time around, it was different from before. He didn't insert his own consciousness into it and control this stone monkey's body.
The path of seeking immortality was a journey for the stone monkey to temper its Dao heart. It was a cultivation of the spirit.
The onlooker saw things clearly.
Perhaps, from the perspective of an onlooker, he could dig out the truth of this legend and understand his own heart.
It had just entered the human world and was filled with danger.
However, the stone monkey was an innate spiritual creature after all. Its spirituality was astonishing, and it soon comprehended the crux. It used its innate transformation technique to transform into a human form and silently blended into the human race, no longer attracting any strange gazes.
This went on for eight to nine years. The stone monkey traversed the Great Wall of the South Continent, toured small counties, and traveled to various countries. Unknowingly, it was no different from ordinary people.
Feng Lin's memories flashed by like he was viewing flowers on horseback. He personally witnessed how this stone monkey grew from a wild monkey to a human-like appearance, almost no different from a human.
It had begged, studied, and worked as a merchant …
The stone monkey relied on its transformation technique to roam the human world. It had rich experiences, experienced different lives, and experienced the tempering of the world of mortals.
Each of its experiences was more exciting than the life of ordinary people. Feng Lin clicked his tongue in wonder as he watched.
The flowers gradually bewitched one's eyes!
The world of mortals was bewitching, causing one to sink into oblivion.
The deeper one went into it, not only was the stone monkey's heart untainted, but it also learned human knowledge and comprehended all sorts of principles. Its Dao heart became increasingly pure, even becoming an obsession that was hard to dispel.
In the past, it was said that it had an innate Dao heart that was like an exquisite and beautiful jade without any flaws.
Now, it was like a pure lotus flower that had emerged from the mud but was untainted. Its Dao heart was tempered and untainted.
After nine years of tempering in the human world, it still didn't find any method to attain immortality.
The stone monkey finally couldn't hold it in anymore. One day, it suddenly heard that there was an immortal mountain on the sea. It didn't care about anything else and went out to sea on a raft, once again heading toward the vast sea.
It headed toward the west. At the end of the distant sea was another world. There were legends of immortals there. That place was …
Aparagodaniya Continent!
Storms blocked its path again, and its future was uncertain.
The stone monkey advanced forward, unknowingly following its path. Feng Lin's heart was also tempered to an increasingly exquisite degree.
This immersive tempering feeling was as if the stone monkey was personally displaying its growth experience to him.
There were only a few records in the myths, but in his eyes, it was the truth that was accumulated from countless experiences.
How difficult was it to seek the Dao?
This stone monkey was born and nurtured by the heavens and earth, but it was also filled with difficulties and faced many dangerous situations.
If it wasn't for the fact that it had an innate stone monkey body that was tough and unbreakable, as well as being proficient in the art of transformation, allowing it to deal with many dangerous situations, ordinary people would have long since died.
But even so, the stone monkey was covered in injuries. It took great effort to ascend to the Aparagodaniya Continent, and it was another arduous journey to seek the Dao. However, it ended up with nothing.
The so-called immortals in the world were mostly swindlers. A few of them only had a rough understanding of magical arts, and it was hard for them to attain immortality.
Ever since it set out to sea, it had gained nothing.
Just when the stone monkey thought that there was no way for it to transcend in this world and was preparing to cross the sea once again, one day, it suddenly swayed in the mountain ridges as if it had been attracted by some invisible force. It walked toward the depths of the mountains as if it was possessed.
A beautiful mountain range appeared before its eyes. There were strange flowers and grass, tall bamboos, and tall pine trees. There were many valleys and orchids, and moss grew everywhere.
The mountain range rose and fell, and dragon veins were hidden. It was truly a place with good water, and it naturally had its own spirituality and elegance.
When the stone monkey was looking at it, a singing voice suddenly rang out from the depths of the forest. It was carefree and elegant, exuding an endless sense of freedom.
"Watching a chess game, felling wood. Selling firewood at the entrance of a valley by the clouds, laughing wildly while indulging in love. Facing the moon in autumn, resting on a pine tree and sleeping until dawn … "
