Ten years later.
Fangcun Mountain.
On this day, Cheng Longfu felt so spiritual that he walked out of Sanxing Cave and sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain.
Boom.
There was a loud sound, and surrounded by endless fairy light, three flowers slowly bloomed above Cheng Long's head.
One piece, two pieces, three pieces...
Cheng Long took his time and waited quietly for the three flowers to bloom.
However, the spiritual energy within thousands of miles of Fangcun Mountain fell into a violent state and became extremely active. The spiritual energy floating in the void gathered together and headed towards Fangcun Mountain like a stormy wave. Coming quickly.
"The clouds swallow the sun and the moon, and the energy flows through the mountains and rivers..."
Cheng Long stands proudly, with the pores of his body stretched, and he does not refuse the spiritual energy that is pouring in. Maybe he absorbs it too quickly. , causing whirlpools of spiritual energy to appear around him, and the wind was very noisy, disturbing the entire Fangcun Mountain.
Such a terrifying devouring speed inevitably attracted the attention of many forces including heaven, underworld, and Lingshan.
The gods in the sky, the scattered immortals on the earth, the living Buddhas in Lingshan, the underworld gods...
At this moment, all the immortals, Buddhas, gods and demons with some ability have set their sights on Lingtai Fangcun Mountain. Those who know The great emperor, deity, Buddha, and bodhisattva who were Cheng Long all showed expressions of astonishment without exception.
“What is Patriarch Bodhi doing?”
“In just over ten years, he taught me a great golden immortal?”
In Lingshan, in the Mahavira Hall, Tathagata Buddha, who was sitting at the highest place, was so angry that he wanted to curse, but considering his identity as Patriarch Bodhi, he did not dare to curse.
Daluo Jinxian has extremely scarce high-end combat power whether in heaven, underworld or in Buddhism. This means that if the good script they arranged continues, the losses caused will definitely be ten times. , a hundred-fold, a thousand-fold increase.
It will even cause the death of some gods.
To put it more bluntly, the Daluo Jinxian making trouble in the Heavenly Palace is really making trouble, and in the original work, the monkeys making trouble in the Heavenly Palace during the Golden Immortal period were just gods and Buddhas all over the sky playing monkey tricks.
Although some losses will be caused, these are renewable resources, and Buddhists can afford to pay for their great cause.
It is different now. Once "Sun Wukong" causes trouble, such as killing a certain god with a background, even if the Buddhist family has a great cause, it will provoke unnecessary powerful enemies.
It's easy to provoke one or two veteran quasi-sages, but if you provoke too many, Buddhism will have to break its muscles and bones!
Just when Tathagata Buddha was upset, Cheng Long, sitting cross-legged on the top of Fangcun Mountain, saw the long river of destiny. In the long river of destiny, he saw the past and memory fragments of Sun Wukong.
They are all pictures exposed to the sun, very fragmented. After all, when Brother Monkey was taken away and banned by him, he had not yet had a complete mind, but only a little spirituality.
So the memory of Sun Wukong in the long river of fate soon disappeared without a trace.
This also means that Cheng Long's clone Sun Wukong has officially jumped out of the Three Realms and is no longer in the Five Elements. If you transcend the long river of destiny, you can successfully attain Daluo and gain freedom in this world.
The detachment of Daluo Jinxian only means that they can live forever in their native world. As long as they do not provoke quasi-sages and saints, they will not fall. It is not the same concept as the detachment that saints seek.
......
"The flowers bloom at the ninth level!"
Lingxiao Palace.
The immortals headed by the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother looked at Cheng Long who stood on the top of Fangcun Mountain and swallowed up the mountains and rivers with envy.
There is no shortage of Daluo Jinxian among them.
But the problem is that it took at least tens of thousands of years for everyone here to cultivate to the Daluo realm.
When some of them break through, they only bloom at the fifth or sixth level, and very few bloom at the seventh level.
This made the immortals couldn't help but talk about it.
"Sun Wukong is indeed a born stone spirit. He has only been a disciple for more than ten years. Not only has he cultivated to the Daluo realm, but he even has the potential to become a saint!"
"Buddhism is really a big bargain, like this He is born sacred and should belong to heaven."
"Jade Emperor, why don't you discuss it with Tathagata Buddha and see if you can change the person who takes the scriptures?"
"Yes, Jade Emperor, the person Buddhism needs to learn scriptures was supposed to be a stone monkey. Now the stone monkey has transformed into a human being as soon as it was born. Now it has cultivated into a Daluo Jinxian. In another three to five hundred years, maybe all of them will become human beings." Is it possible to be a saint, especially one that is so easy to control? The six-eared macaque is still wandering across the four continents. Why not give it a chance to become a Buddha? "
"Jade Emperor, this is a great plan."
< br>
"..."
Although there are many Buddhists in Heaven, when they heard Taibai Jinxing's suggestion, they all began to ponder in unison.
Sun Wukong is really not easy to control. This breakthrough, his cultivation level is higher than them all. If he causes trouble in the Heavenly Palace, he might accidentally hurt his own people.
If you switch to a six-eared macaque, you won’t have this worry.
Liu Er is also unlucky. He was born not much later than the old quasi-sages such as Zhen Yuanzi, Ming He, Kunpeng and so on. However, because of Taozu's words, "The law is not passed on to Liu Er", he lost his ability to listen to Taoism. opportunity.
The three thousand Zixiao guests did not dare to accept Liu Er as a disciple because of a word from the Taoist ancestors, and they did not even dare to privately grant him the method of cultivation.
If the Six-Eared Macaque hadn't come from the bloodline of the Chaos Demon Ape and was one of the "Four Monkeys in the Chaos World", good at listening to sounds, able to sense things, know the front and back, and understand everything, maybe even the current Golden Immortal's cultivation level would be confused. Not on.
Cheng Long’s stone spirit clone, Sun Wukong, also has the blood of the Chaos Demon Ape. It was only after merging with the blood of Nuwa that he jumped out of the four monkeys and successfully transformed into a human.
Otherwise, even if Cheng Long's subjective consciousness wants to transform into a human being, after transforming, his body may still have the characteristics of a monkey, such as Sun Wukong Kakarot in the Dragon Ball world, with an extra tail behind his back. .
Or maybe it's a characteristic of the demon ape such as having abundant body hair.
Now Sun Wukong's focus has always been on developing the bloodline of his mother, Nuwa. The bloodline of the Chaos Demon Ape has long been devoured by the Devouring Law he has learned in recent years.
“Let’s take a look and talk about it!”
Faced with Taibai Jinxing’s extremely tempting proposal, the Jade Emperor was actually moved, but Sun Wukong was the Buddhist scripture seeker who liked it, and it was Jin who Besides Cicada, the most indispensable one.
Buddhism will never give up on Sun Wukong unless forced to do so. The six-eared macaque is just a substitute after all.
……
Square inch mountain.
Just when the gods and Buddhas all over the sky thought that Cheng Long’s breakthrough was about to end after he blossomed into the ninth rank.
Boom!
An even larger spiritual energy vortex formed from a distance, and was sucked into Cheng Long's belly like a dragon absorbing water. The realm he had just broken through once again grew.
The three flowers of heaven, earth, and people blooming on the top actually began to grow their tenth leaf.
"The flower blooms at the tenth level!"
This time, it really shocked the gods and Buddhas all over the sky. The flower blooming at the ninth level is the qualification of a quasi-sage. The flower blooming at the tenth level is the qualification of a saint.
Doesn’t it mean that Sun Wukong has the talent to become a saint if his flowers bloom to the tenth level? The Jade Emperor who witnessed this scene with his own eyes was even more moved.
I saw him disappearing into the Lingxiao Palace without hesitation, teleporting to Lingshan, and discussing with Tathagata Buddha in person.
"Tathagata Buddha, with Sun Wukong's talent, he is destined to be a scripture collector. He is really overqualified. Why don't you give him to the heaven. Just ask for whatever you need."
What the Jade Emperor wants to do most now is to give him to the heaven. The third of the six emperors occupied by Chanjiao took one place and assigned it to Sun Wukong, who was breaking through the lower realm.
The Jade Emperor's pain in the heart of the Jade Emperor has always been to dominate the Antarctic Changsheng Emperor, the Western Emperor Gouchen, and the Eastern Qinghua Emperor.
It would be fine if the Antarctic Immortal Emperor and the Eastern Qinghua Emperor were taken away by the Antarctic Immortal Old Man and Taiyi Zhenren. After all, these two are quasi-sages with high levels of cultivation.
It is unreasonable that Emperor Gouchen was taken away by the third generation disciples of Chanjiao.
In particular, Lei Zhenzi has not yet broken through to the Great Luo Jinxian so far. He is stuck at the peak of Taiyi and has not yet broken through, which makes him even more unqualified.
"Jade Emperor, Sun Wukong is my Buddha's long-decided person to learn scriptures. How can you and I have control over it? Don't mention this matter again." Tathagata rejected the Jade Emperor's request without hesitation.
Although Sun Wukong, who is gifted as a monster, has already exceeded their expectations and is difficult to control, Buddhism does not lack quasi-sages.
Randeng, Maitreya, Pharmacist, Avalokitesvara, Ksitigarbha, Manjusri, and Samantabhadra are all quasi-sages.
The little stone spirit can be manipulated by anyone.
If necessary, Tathagata Buddha can also come in person to suppress Sun Wukong for five hundred years.
"Tathagata, if, I mean if..." The Jade Emperor said with a smile: "When Sun Wukong becomes a disciple, he likes heaven and is willing to stay in heaven and contribute his strength. I miss you two. A saint wouldn't be so arrogant as to make a big fuss in heaven, right? The palace is a necessary part for Sun Wukong to become famous. Without the participation of Heaven, it would not be that easy for Sun Wukong to become famous. "
"Jade Emperor, what do you mean?"
Tathagata? Buddha narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of danger.
With the size of Heaven, it is really not difficult to keep Sun Wukong.
The Jade Emperor has always been thirsty for talents, and maybe he can give Sun Wukong some benefits and really make people stay.
"It's not interesting. I just want to discuss with you the ownership of Sun Wukong. I will continue to act in the script I have agreed with you before. In the end, whether Sun Wukong leaves or stays, Buddhism is not allowed to interfere." There is a Taoist ancestor behind the Jade Emperor. Stand up, you are not weak at all when facing Buddhism.
As long as it is not an open robbery and the choice is given to Sun Wukong, Tathagata will not be able to do anything to him.
"Okay, it's up to you."
Tathagata nodded helplessly.
If the Jade Emperor becomes tough, the three Qings will have to give face, not to mention he is a puppet who is pushed to the stage.
After the two top power leaders discussed the future ownership of 'Sun Wukong', Cheng Long, who made a big fuss, finally had no successors and was unable to support the three flowers after the three flowers on his head bloomed into the tenth grade. The eleventh item was opened.
When Cheng Long's original body broke through, the movement was actually far less than that of the clone. It was only the flower blooming at the ninth level, and it was still touched by the light of the golden wheel of merit. Without the support of huge merit, it was difficult to even bloom the ninth level flower. When it arrives, only seven or eight flowers can bloom.
But fortunately, there is no need to pay attention to these things when killing. Just kill and kill. Even if you don’t have talent, you can still rely on the law of killing to carve out a road to the sky.
As for the clone of Superman who remains in the DC universe, he has now cultivated to the Daluo realm, but the path to becoming a saint in the physical body is mainly based on the Kryptonian bloodline talent and the Nine-turn Mysterious Technique, and is not a traditional immortal path. .
Therefore, Superman's clone does not have three flowers on top or five qi in his chest.
The talent of the second soul, Youming, is the same as that of Cheng Long. After all, it is the life-saving trump card of the splitting of the original soul. Therefore, when Youming set foot in the Daluo realm, he was also in the ninth level.
Nowadays, the cultivation level of the second Yuan Shen Youming has reached the same level as the original one, staying at the early stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
When Nuwa was refining the Nether Mirror, she had seen Nether Soul and Xie Ling inside the soul-nurturing jade, and knew her son's biggest trump card.
Nuwa was just happy about this. The more cautious her son was, the longer he would live.
It's no wonder that a mere 'quasi-sage' can travel through the heavens and sign the Three Purities of the Lotus Lantern World. People who can do these things cannot do without some real ability...
" Wukong, it’s time for you to start training.”
Cheng Long finished his practice, and Patriarch Bodhi suddenly appeared out of thin air, with a floating cloud under his feet and his clothes fluttering in front of him.
"Master, isn't this too hasty? I haven't even had time to say goodbye to my senior brothers and sisters!"
Although Cheng Long rarely chats with his fellow senior brothers and sisters, But after all, they have lived under the same roof for fourteen years, and they are more or less like the same family.
"There is no need for affection, just leave! Your senior brother and sister's future path is different from yours. It will be bad if you have too much contact."
Bodhi Patriarch waved his hand, signaling Cheng Long to hurry down the mountain.
But in just over ten years, Wukong, the youngest disciple, surpassed the eldest disciple who had been practicing for more than two hundred years, and jumped out of the Three Realms and was no longer in the Five Elements.
He was really afraid that if he continued to teach, Wukong would become a quasi-sage.
By then, what monster will be able to defeat Wukong on the journey to the west?
Even now, there are not many Daluo Jinxian level monsters that can stop Tang Monk and his party from traveling westward to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
A group of senior officials in Buddhism are having a headache!
If it weren't for Nuwa's words that Wukong's growth could not be restricted, Patriarch Bodhi would have personally taken action to seal his disciple's cultivation.
"Master, can I come back to visit you after I leave the profession?"
Cheng Long didn't have much ill will towards Patriarch Bodhi. He didn't want to learn the real skills before, he just wanted to reduce the cause and effect. Later, I learned the Thirty-six Tiangang Dharma from Patriarch Bodhi, which corrected the previously unclear and even wrong things.
The cause and effect of preaching and solving doubts is considered to be involved.
Master Bodhi shook his head and said reluctantly: "After you leave, Fangcun Mountain will no longer exist."
"Master, take care!"
Cheng Longbin He did not kneel down to say goodbye, but the gratitude and melancholy in his eyes could not be faked. After teleporting out of the Lingtai boundary, he went straight to the purple bamboo forest in the South China Sea.
There, he met the little fox he had not seen for fourteen years.
Hanayue, who had the appearance of a twelve or thirteen-year-old human girl when she first took form, has now grown into a grown-up girl, turning into a beautiful girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a light and elegant blue dress, and a hat on her head. She wore a lotus flower hairpin, but she looked a little cold, seeing that Cheng Long was no longer lively and cute as before.
"Brother Sun, why did you come to Nanhai?"
Hua Yue saw Brother Sun, whom she had not seen for many years, and her eyebrows were filled with joy. However, practicing Buddhism for more than ten years has changed her. His original personality began to become reserved.
"Master asked me to become a disciple. When I was confused, I thought of you, so I came here to take a look." Cheng Long said with a smile: "What about you, what have you learned from following the Bodhisattva?"
"Master taught me a lot, including the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra for cultivating Buddhism, the Avalokitesvara Sutra for cultivating the mind, and the six-character Dharma seal, the Great Buddha's Hand and other magical powers and secrets."
Huayue is still the little fox, but she has learned more, grown up, lost her former innocence, and has no defense against Cheng Long.
This is also the effect Guanyin Bodhisattva wants.
After all, the little fox is the bond she prepared for the destiny seekers, a trump card to control them.
The relationship between the little fox and Cheng Long is naturally the deeper the better... (End of this chapter)
