Three Star Bodhi Cave, Spirit Fangcun Mountain.
The celestial mountain was high, surrounded by clouds and mist. It seemed to be extremely far away yet close at hand.
On the peak of the mountain, a figure sat cross-legged. He had golden hair and a calm demeanor. His divine light was restrained and no longer had any wildness. Instead, he emitted a clear light.
There was no sense of time in the mountains. As his cultivation deepened, he was no longer a wild monkey in the mountains but a true cultivator who had attained the Dao.
A spot of spiritual light flew over from the horizon and landed on a shooting star.
The monkey opened its eyes, and a sharp light flashed in its golden eyes. It stood up and looked down at the surroundings. The entire world was in its eyes, causing one's temperament to expand.
Cultivating the heart and temperament.
The stone monkey's expression was calm and lofty, without any ripples.
The heart monkey was subdued, unfazed.
After bitter cultivation, the stone monkey finally subdued its own malevolence and wildness, entering the realm of creation.
Feng Lin hid in the depths of the stone monkey's heart, quietly observing the changes before him.
Although the mythological illusion-scape was illusory, it wasn't completely fake.
If he rashly interfered, any action he took would cause unpredictable changes.
As long as he observed the stone monkey's growth process, he would naturally be able to comprehend the true meaning of breaking through to the next realm. Why was there a need to do something unnecessary?
One must know that cultivating in Fangcun Mountain was the stone monkey's transformation from a wild monkey to a great sage of the three realms!
Although the stone monkey was an innate spiritual monkey with heaven as its father and earth as its mother, it was born in the wilderness and stepped into cultivation. Compared to humans who were born with innate dao bodies, it was still discriminated against.
Given the stone monkey's lawless temperament in the Flowerfruit Mountain, it would have long caused a huge ruckus in Fangcun Mountain after suffering all sorts of humiliation.
After decades of tempering in the mortal world, it finally arrived at the celestial mountain.
The difficulty of seeking the Dao caused it to cherish the fortuitous encounters in cultivation. This was why it restrained its temperament.
Every sip and every peck was predestined.
Maybe it was because of this that the moment it entered the sect, it rose to the skies and gained the favor of the old ancestor. It soon stood out and was imparted the Great Dao.
After countless tempering, the monkey finally had a leakless Dao heart. Maybe this was the true meaning behind the Grand-grade Heavenly Immortal Art imparting to it by Patriarch Subhuti.
In terms of aptitude, the innate stone monkey was definitely the best in the world.
The monkey's temperament wasn't bad either.
In comparison, compared to those mediocre and mediocre people, the monkey naturally stood out from the rest and received the teachings.
In fact, the monkey didn't let the Old Ancestor down. Its cultivation speed was extremely fast.
As a Spirit Being of the heavens and the earth, every single breath he took would cause the spirit energy of the heavens and the earth to converge over from all directions, and it formed into a vast and mighty aura that could topple mountains and overturn the seas.
Qi Refining Spirit Early-stage, Middle-stage, Late-stage …
Year after year, year after year!
In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.
The monkey advanced to a new realm every year. Very soon, it reached the late stage of cultivating qi and restoring divinity, achieving perfection in its cultivation.
As long as one stepped out of this checkpoint, one would be able to enter a whole new world and refine one's spirit into the void!
At this stage, a cultivator's Primordial Spirit would be in harmony with heaven and earth. Their words would be followed, and the power of heaven and earth would surround their bodies. They would transcend mortality and enter sainthood. They could become Earth Immortals and were known as Rogue Immortals.
Although he was only an Itinerant Immortal, as long as he stepped into the Immortal Realm, he would no longer be the same as mortals. Immortality was not child's play.
With one step, the difference between an immortal and a mortal was completely different!
No matter how resolute the stone monkey's heart was, it couldn't help but feel agitated. It wanted nothing more than to break through immediately.
In one spurt of energy, it wanted to make use of this opportunity to break through in one go.
The true origin energy in its body gushed out, wanting to break through a layer of restraints and enter the next realm.
The checkpoint swayed.
His divine soul naturally broke through the restraints of his physical body and connected with heaven and earth. Strange phenomena were born.
Tribulation qi gathered and lightning was born.
Dark clouds enveloped the sky above Fangcun Mountain. It was extremely stifling, causing many cultivators to run around in a panic.
"Who on earth is going through the tribulation?"
"This tribulation qi is so thick and is about to take form! How great will its prowess be? "
"Who is it that has such a cultivation?
An indifferent pair of eyes opened, looking at the stone monkey across space. It was filled with praise.
Rumble rumble rumble!
It was as if thunder had exploded in the formless void. All of a sudden, the stone monkey felt a great sense of danger rapidly forming above his head. Out of wariness, he immediately woke up.
A pair of golden eyes stared at the sky.
Although the tribulation clouds had already dissipated, the terror was still there.
As long as he took a step out, it was as if endless terror would descend and smash him into pieces.
Cultivation was something that went against the heavens. Those who were outstanding would definitely be punished by the heavens.
The instincts of a cultivator made the stone monkey not dare to act recklessly.
Just as he was hesitating, a loud voice suddenly rang out from the horizon.
"Today, I'll be giving a lecture. Those who are interested, come quickly!"
The Ancestor was going to give a lecture?
The stone monkey couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
It had been a total of three years since the last time the Ancestor had imparted the Dao. The Ancestor was finally going to give a lecture again!
It was just right!
He had countless questions in his heart and wanted to ask the Ancestor for guidance.
The stone monkey soared into the sky, turning into a stream of light and flying away.
The Ancestor sat on the cloud platform of Fangcun Mountain. Flowers were spitting out from his head as he chanted sutras.
The group of disciples below the platform were already in a daze as they listened.
Although this phenomenon looked extraordinary, the logic behind it was very simple.
The stone monkey was already at the late-stage of the Qi Refinement Realm, becoming an immortal in a single step.
Naturally, these shallow spells could no longer attract his attention.
However, his heart had already calmed down and he was no longer as reckless as before. Instead, he silently came to the Ancestor's seat and listened seriously.
The Ancestor chanted the profound sutras with a strange rhythm that penetrated deep into one's heart, causing one to naturally be immersed in the comprehension of the Great Dao.
The stone monkey also listened respectfully, combing through his cultivation path and learning new things from the past. He also gained a lot and his foundation became increasingly sturdy.
The Ancestor's eyes opened slightly and a clear light swept over him, filled with praise.
Two hours passed by quickly. The words of the sutras were like gold and the Ancestor had already finished his lecture.
Everyone had a look of longing on their faces.
The Ancestor suddenly asked, "Where is Wukong?"
The stone monkey hurriedly knelt down. "Disciple is here."
The Ancestor said, "What Dao have you been cultivating?"
The stone monkey said, "Disciple's dharmic nature has improved recently. My foundation is also gradually becoming more sturdy."
The Ancestor said, "Since you've comprehended the dharmic nature, you'll be able to obtain the foundation and you've already infused your divine body. However, you still need to be on guard against the 'three calamities'."
When the stone monkey heard that, he instinctively felt his heart palpitating. He thought of the great terror that had been accumulating power above his head earlier. It was as if it could descend at any moment and turn him into ashes.
However, his knowledge of cultivation was limited and he didn't know what it was.
The stone monkey couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Master, please tell me! I've often heard that Gao Delong has the same lifespan as the heavens, complementing fire and water, and being immune to all diseases. However, why are there three calamities? "
The Ancestor asked with a smile, "This is an extraordinary Dao. Seizing the good fortune of heaven and earth, invading the mysteries of the sun and moon. After the pill is formed, even ghosts and gods won't be able to tolerate it. "Although you can maintain your youthful looks and increase your lifespan, five hundred years later, when the heavens send a lightning calamity to strike you, you'll need to understand your nature and heart and avoid it in advance. "If you can avoid it, your lifespan will be as long as the heavens, but if you can't, you'll lose your life. "Another five hundred years later, a fire will descend from the heavens to burn you. "This fire isn't a heavenly fire or an ordinary fire. It's called 'Yin fire'. "It will burn from the Yongquan acupoint in your body and penetrate through your palace. Your organs will turn into ashes and your limbs will rot, turning 1,000 years of bitter cultivation into an illusion. "Another five hundred years later, a wind calamity will strike you. "This wind isn't from the north, south, east, or west. It's not the north wind that melts gold, nor is it the wind of flowers, willows, and pines. "It blows from the fontanelle into the six organs, passes through the dantian, and passes through the nine apertures. the bones and flesh will dissipate, and the body will dissolve. "Therefore, you'll have to avoid it."
When the monkey heard this, it immediately felt its hair stand on end. It kowtowed and said, "Master, please have mercy on me and teach me the art to avoid the three calamities. I won't dare to forget your kindness."
Was he finally going to teach Feng Lin the seventy-two transformations?
Feng Lin secretly rejoiced, feeling like he was witnessing a legend. He couldn't help but be filled with anticipation.
At this moment, the Ancestor said, "This isn't difficult either. It's just that you're different from others, so you can't be taught."
The stone monkey said, "I also have a round head that reaches the sky, and my feet are square. I usually have nine apertures, four limbs, and five viscera and six bowels. How can I be different from others? "
The Ancestor said, "Although you look like a human, you have fewer cheeks than humans."
By saying this, he was referring to the fact that the monkey had a concave face and a sharp mouth. It was hard for him to learn the transformations.
The stone monkey immediately frowned. However, as expected of a spiritual creature born from the heavens and earth. It stretched out its hand and touched its head. Its eyeballs spun and it immediately smiled. "Master didn't predict it! Although I have fewer cheeks, I have more cheeks than humans. It's about the same. "
When the Ancestor heard this, he instantly laughed. "You monkey! Forget it, which transformation do you want to learn? There are thirty-six transformations in the Heavenly Dipper Chart and seventy-two transformations in the Earthly Fiend Chart. They can help you avoid the three calamities. "
The stone monkey didn't even think about it. It opened its mouth and said, "This disciple is willing to go further and learn the Earthly Fiend Transformation."
The Ancestor said, "Since that's the case, come forward and I'll teach you the incantation."
The Ancestor hurriedly scurried over.
The Ancestor taught the incantation in a low voice.
Upon hearing the wonders of the incantation, the monkey couldn't help but be overjoyed. It started to jump around, unable to suppress its joy.
The others also stretched out their necks, wanting nothing more than to eavesdrop on what the Ancestor said.
It was a pity that the incantation could only be taught to those who were fated.
The Ancestor was clearly imparting the incantation before them, yet they couldn't hear a single word.
The incantation couldn't be transmitted to six ears!
They could only sigh helplessly.
However, they didn't know that all of this was heard by another person.
