"Has he really fallen out with me?" Chen Ang looked around and realized that he was in a secluded forest. He was already at an extremely high place. Looking around, he could see thousands of mountains like halberds and tens of thousands of feet spread out. The plants and trees on his left and right were the Four Seasons Excellent Trees and Strange Zoysia Grass. They were not the same as the mortals. He understood that the Lord had interfered with the process of his return and did not know which world he had been banished to.
Chen Ang's various arrangements in the Lord God's space eventually triggered the cleaning mechanism of the Lord God's space. The Lord God couldn't do anything to him. He could only wait for him to return and then think of a way to kick him out. This world was used by the Lord God to exile him. It was most likely an extremely dangerous world, and it might even make the Lord God suffer.
Chen Ang took a glance and went deep into the microscopic origin of this world. Only then did he realize that there were no atoms or molecules in this world. It was all formed by Qi. Vital Qi created the world, and Qi formed the world. This was the most orthodox world view of the Immortal Dao.
He felt that he was incompatible with this world. He smiled slightly and with a turn, he recovered his Heavenly River Dharma power and changed into a Daoist priest's attire.
At this moment, a song suddenly sounded in front of him. "Watching the chess game, chopping wood, walking slowly at the entrance of the valley by the cloud. Selling firewood for wine, laughing wildly to cultivate one's love. Facing the moon and resting at the roots, one sleeps until dawn … "Chen Ang came to a realization." So it's a world created by the Taiqing Perfected … The Lord is indeed sinister. He wants to use the Taiqing to get rid of me … It's a pity that the Taiqing does nothing. As the saying goes, there is no prohibition! Why would he make things difficult for me? He would probably just find it interesting! "
Among the Three Pure Ones, the Taiqing did nothing. The world he created did not have a tight karma net like the world of Shushan. That Sect Master Chen and the Taiqing were both Sect Master Saints. It would probably be more convenient for Chen Ang to be here.
After singing once, Chen Ang saw a woodcutter with a bamboo hat on his head, dressed in cloth clothes, and holding a steel axe in his hand. He turned around quietly and was suddenly stopped by a macaque halfway down the mountain. The man and the monkey kept talking there. Chen Ang felt a little emotional. In the world created by Perfected Taiqing, the Divine Dao was superior to the Human Dao. It was really not what he wanted.
In this world, the path of godhood was superior to that of humanity. Smelting, farming, and customs were all interfered with by the gods. Perhaps it had long deviated from the path of development of humanity. That was why there were things like woodcutters using steel axes in the mountains during the Spring and Autumn Period. In this world where gods interfered with everything, one really could not use the common sense of those worlds where humanity flourished. Perhaps the rise and fall of dynasties and the pattern of humanity were all affected by the path of godhood.
The macaque in front talked about the woodcutter for a long time before turning around to go up the mountain. Halfway up the mountain, he saw a Daoist dressed in feathered robes and wearing a starry crown. His face was like jade as he looked out of the mountain endlessly. The mist between the peaks churned and landed under the Daoist's feet, making him look like a celestial being. The macaque hurriedly went up and asked, "Old immortal! Old Immortal! Disciple is going to … "
Chen Ang smiled at him and shook his head, "You macaque, why are you calling everyone immortal? Did you think that I didn't hear you asking the woodcutter down there?"
At this moment, the macaque didn't have a name and only had a nickname. It was called the Monkey King. It mimicked humans and bowed, "Old immortal, since you heard it, then allow me to explain. I'm a disciple from the East Sea's Ao Lai Country who came here to cultivate. I heard from Big Brother Woodcutter that this is Mount Lingtai Fangcun and there's a Patriarch Subhuti here. He's an old immortal with great achievements in cultivation.
"I'm not Patriarch Subhuti!" Chen Ang shook his head, "However, I've heard of his great name before. He has a cave abode on the mountain called the Cave of Three Stars Slanting Moon. Because this name has something to do with an evil sect ten thousand miles to the west, I've never been fond of it. Therefore, I've never had much contact with it. I've only heard that he has many disciples under him and they teach immortals, divination, plucking yin and yang, and the ability to harmonize women's breasts."
"With this kind of fake cultivation, how can you enter the real sect?" Chen Ang looked at the macaque and shook his head, "Could it be that you, a macaque, are also willing to imitate humans and consume human milk, plucking yin to nourish yang … I've heard that apes and monkeys are lustful. There are often demons who become famous and go around abducting beautiful women. Some are called Shen Chungong, some are called Saolang, and there are also people like Zhou Jia and Bo Fu. They're extremely lecherous. The courageous male monkeys call themselves the Omnipotent Sage, Monkey King, and the female monkeys call themselves Old Mother of Mount Li … Do you want to learn from them?"
The macaque said, "I don't dare, I don't dare … Disciple is a proper cultivator and doesn't dare to have such messy thoughts."
"Then what do you want to learn?" Chen Ang asked with a serious expression.
The macaque bowed his head and said, "Disciple was originally a stone monkey in the mountain. I played and played all day, plucking flowers and fruits, living a carefree life. After a long time, I saw the old monkey in the mountain die of old age. Only then did I realize that there's a great terror between life and death. Thus, the desire to pursue immortality was born. I came all the way from Ao Lai Country just for the sake of immortality. I beg the old immortal to give me one or two pointers. "
"The Art of Immortality!" Chen Ang said ruefully, "The highest class eats fruits, the middle class becomes an official, and only the lowest class seeks the Dao. You came here … seeking fish from a tree, seeking fish from a tree!"
The macaque heard that there were three classes of immortality. He had bitterly sought immortality for more than ten years, but it was like the moon in the water or the flower in the mirror. Now that he asked, he was overjoyed. He kowtowed and asked, "Teacher, please enlighten me!"
Chen Ang said, "Go west to the Fifth Manor Monastery of Longevity Mountain. There's an expert called Zhen Yuanzi. His family has a ginseng fruit tree. If one is fated to obtain the fruit and smell it, they can live three hundred and sixty years. If one eats it, they can live forty-seven thousand years. High up in the sky, where the Jade Pool of the Queen Mother is, there are three thousand and six hundred immortal peach trees. In front, there are one thousand and two hundred immortal peach trees. The flowers and fruits are small and mature once every three thousand years. If one eats them, he can become an immortal. In the middle, there are one thousand and two hundred immortal peach trees. They ripen once every six thousand years. If one eats them, he can ascend and become immortal. At the back, there are one thousand and two hundred immortal peach trees. They have purple marks and fine seeds. They ripen once every nine thousand years. If one eats them, he can live as long as heaven and earth. "
"There's also the Zoysia Horse Immortal Grass and Fleeceflower Ginseng. They can prolong one's life. If one eats them, they can become immortals."
The macaque was fascinated. For a moment, he couldn't control himself. The macaque liked to eat peaches. How could he hold himself back after hearing such a good thing? He hurriedly asked, "Teacher, can you tell me … how can I eat the immortal peach?"
"About this!" Chen Ang hesitated. "Normal people … can't eat it, can't eat it! You have to wait for the Celestial Heavens' celebration, when the Queen Mother Jade Emperor invites the immortals of the nine heavens and ten lands to hold the Immortal Peach Sacred Meeting. It's not something normal people can eat … Only immortals can eat it … That's why I said, after a middle class official registers as an immortal, not only can he ascend and become immortal, he can also participate in the Immortal Peach Feast. If he's lucky enough to eat a peach … what's the point of learning? His lifespan will be the same as the heaven's. "
The macaque was confused. He counted with his fingers. "Only immortals can eat the immortal peach? But aren't immortals immortal? If I want to eat the immortal peach, I have to become an immortal. But if I become an immortal, why would I still eat the immortal peach? Those immortals are immortal, they eat the immortal peach … Old immortal … you're making me confused! "
"What's there to be confused about?" Chen Ang calculated for him. "It's like a mortal … If he wants to become an official, he first needs an official to recommend him. If he has an official's recommendation, he would already be an official! It's you people who have nothing to do with being an official … "
"Immortals don't need to eat the immortal peach. Those who need to eat the immortal peach can't eat it!"
The macaque flew into a rage. He scolded, "What a bastard of immortals, they're all immortal! And they're still fighting with us for the immortal peach … Old immortal, where is the Fifth Manor Temple? "
"What are you going there for?" Chen Ang asked: "Are you going to ask for a ginseng fruit to eat?"
The macaque nodded and said, "The sky is so high that I can't see the bottom, and the Jasper Lake is so high that I don't have the ability to go there. The Fifth Manor Monastery is closer. If that Great Deity Zhenyuan is a kind person, I'll ask him for a ginseng fruit to eat. If he's like those immortals … I'll steal one. If I can steal two, I'll give you half."
Chen Ang said with a smile, "Do you know how powerful Zhenyuanzi is? You want to steal his ginseng fruit to eat?"
"Let me tell you how to become an official!" Chen Ang said, "Three Tribulations and Nine Tribulations. Let's not talk about him, this is heaven and earth coming to kill you. Just talking about becoming an official in the Celestial Court's Spirited Mountain, there will be countless tribulations. For those with lower ranks, there will be hundreds of tribulations. For those with higher ranks, there will be millions of tribulations. That would require an immeasurable amount of tribulations, the hacking of sabers and axes, the bombardment of lightning and the burning of fire. It's as difficult as ascending to the heavens! "
The macaque was so frightened that he held his breath and asked in horror, "Do all the immortals in the celestial heavens cultivate like this? How can there be so many immortals with such suffering? "
"That's not it!" Chen Ang said with a smile, "How can anyone become an immortal with such suffering?"
"Of course they buy and sell positions, curry favor, get help from friends and family, or wait for immortals to admire you and help you become immortals. There are also the kind people in the human world. After reincarnating into the Celestial Dao, they will become immortals in the celestial heavens. If they are lucky enough to serve an immortal, they will reach out and help you, and you can become an immortal too!"
"There are also people who kill and set fires, become demons, train demon soldiers, form camps and patrol the mountains. After gathering in the forest, they will wait for the immortals in the heavens to come and recruit you! In order to calm the situation, they will give you a small official position, and you will become an immortal or a Buddha, an official or a general! "
Looking at the dumbfounded monkey, Chen Ang shook his head and said, "You can't do this. Even if you are lucky enough to become an immortal, you will offend your colleagues, be framed, or violate the heavenly rules. You will only end up walking on the Immortal Slaying Platform. It is better to go to the human world and train for tens of years! "I see that you have more than half of your lifespan left. Go to the human world and be an official for a hundred years. Settle the various dojos of the celestial heavens in the human world, and then find a chance to go up!"
Two of the monkey's three souls had left, and three of its six spirits had scattered. After listening to Chen Ang talk about the celestial heavens' official matters, it unknowingly followed him to the mountain. From afar, it saw a cave abode with the aura of an immortal. It was extraordinary, and on its left was a stone tablet with the words: Mount Lingtai Fangcun, Cave of Slanting Moon and Three Stars!
The monkey knew that they had reached the place, but it wasn't very happy.
It saw a boy standing at the entrance of the cave abode, but it didn't rush over. Instead, it grabbed onto Chen Ang's clothes and asked, "This boy is handsome and extraordinary, and he has accompanied the immortals. Can he become an immortal?"
Chen Ang looked straight at the boy and divined his past and present lives, seeing through his internal organs. He shook his head and said, "He hasn't shed his mortal bones. In the future, he will only be a Daoist with some abilities. He won't be able to become an immortal!"
The macaque rushed over and asked, "You are disturbing the celestial boy!"
The boy said seriously, "Are you the one who came to visit the Dao? Why did you make me wait for so long? Quickly come with me to meet the patriarch! "
The macaque apologized, "I'm here to learn the art of immortality … May I ask the celestial boy, can you become an immortal?"
