Marvel's Magic Master

The stone monkey born from the immortal stone is the Spiritual Stone Monkey, one of the Four Great Stone Monkeys of Chaos. It possesses an innate Dao embryo and its cultivation speed is incomparable to that of ordinary people.

The key point is that the stone monkey had not consumed any mortal substances at this time, which put it in the best state for cultivation, making the effect even better.

In the original story, after the stone monkey was born, it ingested some ordinary food, which caused impurities to enter its body and affect it, and its appearance quickly turned into that of an ordinary monkey.

Although it has a stronger body and a smarter brain than ordinary monkeys, its potential is still there.

However, since the cultivation process has shifted from innate to acquired before cultivation, the speed of cultivation in the future will be much slower compared to when it was innate.

This is why George was so eager to teach the stone monkey the methods of cultivation.

The point is to cultivate while it is still in its innate state.

Once the foundation is successfully established and the innate state is stabilized, consuming acquired mortal substances will not have any adverse effects.

Of course, given the aptitude of the Spirit Stone Monkey and the energy contained within its body, it's impossible for it to only reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

For three whole days and three nights, the stone monkey worked his way up through the stages of Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Void Refining, Mahayana, Earth Immortal, and finally Celestial Immortal before stopping.

Moreover, there wasn't even a heavenly tribulation required to become an immortal.

It can only be said that it is a naturally blessed creature favored by heaven and earth.

"Not bad, not bad. Your master is bestowing upon you a magic weapon. You must cultivate it diligently from now on."

George patted the stone monkey's head and took out the Ruyi Jingu Bang, the magic staff that had previously sealed the dragon clan.

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"

After receiving the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff), the stone monkey excitedly played with it, making it grow bigger and smaller at the same time.

It's still a newborn baby, and it has the temperament of a child.

"Come on, let your master take you to visit the human world."

With a wave of his hand, George took the stone monkey and rode away from Flower Fruit Mountain on a cloud.

The future Monkey King, Sun Wukong, is one of his chosen disciples, and now he is going to take on several other disciples.

Before leaving home, he calculated with his fingers that today was the best time to take on apprentices.

A moment later, a town came into view.

"It should be right here!"

George looked at the plaques in the town, then descended with the stone monkey, which had transformed into an ordinary little golden monkey.

Instead of immediately going to find the remaining apprentices, he wandered around the town.

"Master, what is that?"

Passing by a peach stall, the stone monkey perched on George's shoulder subconsciously swallowed.

"Those are peaches."

George casually tossed a few pieces of silver at the stall owner and bought two plump peaches, which he then threw to the stone monkey.

The Spiritual Stone Monkey Sun Wukong is now a celestial being, and all of his innate spiritual energy has been transformed into cultivation.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about consuming ordinary foods causing spiritual energy to be suppressed.

The stone monkey took the peach and immediately began to happily nibble on it, taking bites from the left and the right.

George smiled as he watched the stone monkey, its mouth smeared with warrior peach juice.
"Later, your master will take you to eat the Queen Mother's peaches."

The peaches of immortality are of little use to him at his current level of cultivation, but for Sun Wukong at this stage, they can definitely greatly enhance his cultivation.

The master and his apprentice strolled and ate their way through the area, and soon arrived at a magnificent mansion.

"Yang Mansion!"

George nodded as he looked at the plaque hanging above the mansion, then disappeared.

That's right, he is currently at the mouth of the Guanjiang River, and the Yang Mansion in front of him is the home of Erlang Shen, the True Lord Yang Jian.

The next disciples he would take on were the three siblings from the Yang family.

According to the gossip he had heard from Taiyi Zhenren, something of moderate importance happened in Heaven twenty years ago.

Those were the three-headed dragons guarding the jade pillars of the Lingxiao Palace. Because of their lustful desires, they stole the palace's dragon pearl and fled to the mortal realm.

Yao Ji, the goddess in charge of the Desire Realm and the Jade Emperor's younger sister, descended to the mortal world to hunt down the demon dragon, but has yet to capture it and bring it back to the realm.

For others, this was just gossip; they simply enjoyed watching the Heavenly Court make a fool of itself and didn't think much of it.

However, George knew that Yao Ji would likely meet a mortal named Yang Tianyou during her descent to the mortal realm, and give birth to three children with mixed divine and mortal blood.

Two of the children will become very famous in the future.

One of them is Erlang Shen, the True Lord of Manifestation, who obeys orders but not decrees, and whose strength is slightly better than that of Sun Wukong, who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

The other is the Third Holy Mother, the owner of the Lotus Lantern, who is also Chenxiang's mother.

"coming!"

After waiting for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, George saw large patches of clouds flying in from the sky.

Above those clouds were the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals of the Heavenly Court who had come to capture Yao Ji.

Yao Ji fell in love with a mortal, which violated the heavenly rules. The Jade Emperor sent the Golden Crow and Marshal Tianpeng with 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to capture Yao Ji.

Yang Tianyou, Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, and Yang Chan were executed and sent to the eighteenth level of hell, never to be reincarnated.

One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals surrounded the Yang residence, but Yang Tianyou stepped forward and took all the responsibility upon himself.

He attempted to use his own death to persuade the Heavenly Court to spare Yao Ji and her three children.

However, the Great Golden Crow was not a reasonable person and insisted on following the Jade Emperor's decree to execute Yang Tianyou and his three children.

Yao Ji had no choice but to disobey orders and fight to the death.

Despite possessing the cultivation of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, she was unable to defeat the Great Golden Crow, whose strength was comparable to hers and who was aided by 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, while protecting her family.

It quickly ended with Yang Tianyou and Yang Jiao being killed, and her own capture.

Fortunately, Marshal Tianpeng remembered Yao Ji's past kindness in letting him off the hook on several occasions, and deliberately used the Age-Cursing Palm to protect Yang Jian and Yang Chan, allowing the brother and sister to fake their deaths and escape.

"Master, aren't we going to save them?"

Looking down at the Yang family members lying on the ground and the grief-stricken Yao Ji, the stone monkey was also furious.

"This Heavenly Court is so unreasonable! If Yao Ji made a mistake, they could have just taken her back alone. Why did they have to kill her whole family!"

"Wukong, no rush, no rush, the time is not yet right."

George patted the stone monkey's head, his face showing no sign of urgency.

The Jade Emperor is, after all, the ruler of the Three Realms. If he were to openly take action, he would have no grounds to argue with the leader of the entire sect.

Moreover, it was Yao Ji who violated the heavenly rules first, so it was not wrong for others to come down to the mortal realm to capture her.

Therefore, he cannot make a move yet.

Of course, if he really wanted to take action, with his strength, he had many ways to rescue Yao Ji and the four members of the Yang family without showing himself.

But that would make it difficult for him to carry out his plan to attack the Heavenly Court later.

Only if Yao Ji is captured can Yang Jian and his two siblings have an excuse to attack the Heavenly Court to save their mother, and only then will they have the opportunity to plunder the Heavenly Court's various immortal fruits, immortal wines, and immortal pills to improve their cultivation.

Moreover, this is a matter within the Jade Emperor's family, and many powerful beings are not in a position to interfere.

Otherwise, if he were to attack the Heavenly Court, he would not only face the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, but also various powerful beings from the Three Realms.

"The time has come!"

Seeing that the heavenly soldiers and generals had suppressed Yao Ji and forced her to leave, George withdrew his invisibility and quickly pointed at the already dead Yang Tianyou and Yang Jiao.

Since the two had just died and their souls had not yet entered the underworld, it would not be difficult for them to be resurrected.

"Return to Three Immortal Islands."

George returned the souls of Yang Tianyou and Yang Jiao, who had been recalled, to their bodies, and with a wave of his hand, he took away all four members of the Yang family and the loyal donkey, erasing all traces of them.

Although the Heavenly Court is not as powerful as it will be in the future, it still has many skilled experts.

If the traces aren't erased, it's easy for someone to figure out their background. That night, in George's private cave on Three Immortal Islands, Yang Tianyou and his three sons awoke leisurely.

"I...I'm dead, aren't I?"

"Father, it's so good that you're still alive!"

"Jiao'er, you're still alive!"

"Father! Brother!"

"who are you?"

"How...how did we become like this?!"

"It's Jian'er and Chan'er. Can you see your mother?"

"No, Father, where is this?"

The four of them quickly confirmed each other's identities by talking over each other, and then began to look around.

Just then, Sun Wukong, who had just finished his training, heard the commotion and hopped over from his room.

"You're awake. This is Three Immortals Island. Master has gone out to discuss the Dao with a friend and will be back later."

"monkey?"

Upon seeing the stone monkey Sun Wukong dressed in a Taoist robe, the four were initially taken aback. Then, Yang Tianyou stood up, bowed, and very politely asked:
"May I ask, sir, who is your master? Why are we here? Have you seen my wife, Yao Ji?"

“My master is the Black Dragon Taoist. Today, he was passing by Guanjiang Estuary and saw you being killed by those unreasonable people from the Heavenly Court. He kindly rescued you.”

However, I don't know anything about your wife since she has already been captured by the Heavenly Court.

Wukong jumped onto the table, scratched his hand, and recounted what he had seen during the day.

"As for you two, Master said that Marshal Tianpeng showed mercy and gave you the Age-Inducing Palm, so you look like you've grown up a lot all of a sudden."

"It seems you've woken up."

At this moment, George, who discovered that the four members of the Yang family had awakened inside the cave, also teleported back to the cave.

The Three Immortals Island was very large, so after obtaining permission from the Three Immortal Maidens, everyone found a suitable place to build their own cave dwellings for cultivation.

Actually, it mainly involved him, Shen Gongbao's family, and Shi Ji.

The dragons of the four seas all live in the sea, so they built the palace in the sea area near the Three Immortal Islands.

"Thank you so much, Taoist priest, for saving my life!"

When Yang Tianyou saw George appear, he quickly led his three children to kneel on the ground and bow deeply to George.

George smiled and helped them up.

"I also can't stand that the Heavenly Court doesn't even spare children."

"Does the Master know anything about my wife, Yao Ji?"

Seeing that George could even resurrect the dead and showed no fear when talking about the Heavenly Court, he knew that George must be one of those highly skilled cultivators his wife often talked about.

So I wanted to see if I could find out any news about my wife after she was taken away by the Heavenly Court.

He worried that the Jade Emperor wouldn't even spare his own sister.

"Don't worry, Princess Yaoji is not in any danger. She has simply been suppressed under Peach Mountain by the Jade Emperor using the Heavenly Rules."

After placing the four members of the Yang family in his cave, George went to greet the Three Immortals of Sanxiao and then quietly sneaked into the Heavenly Court.

They also witnessed the entire process of Yao Ji being suppressed.

To be honest, although the Jade Emperor was ruthless towards Yang Tianyou and his two nephews and niece, he was quite good to his own sister, Yao Ji.

Even though Yao Ji refused to back down and even went berserk on the spot, threatening to attack the Jade Emperor, the Jade Emperor could only suppress her under Peach Mountain.

Moreover, judging from her tone, as long as Yao Ji admits her mistake, she can still return to the Heavenly Court and continue to be the eldest princess.

He could understand the Jade Emperor's feelings. He was the ruler of the Three Realms, yet his sister openly defied the Heavenly Laws to marry a mere mortal who was only a hundred years old.

That's a complete slap in the face.

He also wanted to kill Yang Tianyou, but the three children were innocent.

Furthermore, immortals are forbidden from falling in love or getting married; they must be ruthless and devoid of affection. This is not without reason, as it is a heavenly rule.

After all, compared to the weakness of mortals, immortals are far too powerful.

If one's worldly desires are stirred and one is prone to infidelity, it will indeed lead to chaos in the Three Realms.

However, relying on divine rules to suppress it is not a long-term solution.

In his view, if a deity were to have mortal desires, he should simply demote them to mortal status and live their life as a mortal.

If you're unwilling to give up your magical powers, that's not true love.

Of course, this is just theory; his acceptance of the Heavenly Court's rules doesn't mean he'll side with the Heavenly Court.

In order to cultivate a top-notch disciple, he would definitely have to stand on the opposite side of the Heavenly Court.

"He's not dead, thank goodness he's not dead."

Upon hearing this, Yang Tianyou breathed a long sigh of relief.

"That wretched Heavenly Court has imprisoned my mother under Peach Mountain. I must rescue her."

Yang Jian said through gritted teeth.

Yang Jiao patted his younger brother, who was now a head taller than him, on the shoulder.

Upon hearing this, Yang Tianyou's eyes dimmed instantly.

Because he knew it was impossible.

He and his three children were all mortals, so how could they possibly fight against the Jade Emperor, the ruler of the Three Realms, or against 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals?

"Master, do you have a way to save our mother?"

At this moment, Yang Chan, the youngest but most clever girl, suddenly asked George a question.

She had witnessed the power of the heavenly soldiers and generals firsthand, and knew that they alone could never rescue her mother in a lifetime.

Their only hope was to see if they could get help from the kind-hearted Taoist priest in front of them.

Even a little guidance would be helpful.

"The Jade Emperor's Heavenly Rules are formed from the condensed laws of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Even if I were to take action, I could not break them by brute force."

George was just waiting for Yang Chan to ask a question.

But instead of immediately revealing his purpose, he took a roundabout approach.

"However, I see that all three of you children have excellent talent for cultivation. If you can cultivate diligently, you may have the opportunity to become saints in the future."

"If you can become a saint, you can forcefully break through those great laws and rescue your mother."

"Greetings, Master! Please accept us as your disciples!"

Upon hearing George's words, Yang Chan did not hesitate at all, immediately kneeling down in front of George and bowing deeply in worship.

Then, while bowing, he grabbed his two older brothers' trouser legs to remind them.

Yang Jiao and Yang Jian were not fools; they understood their sister's meaning and quickly followed suit, bowing down as well.

"Excellent, excellent! This child is teachable! This child is teachable!"

George hadn't expected Yang Chan to be so clever, and immediately burst into laughter:

"Since that's the case, then I'll take the three of you in and train you well."

"If the three of you fail to become saints, then I will accompany you to fight your way to the Heavenly Court and make the Jade Emperor personally plead for the release of your mother!"

Upon hearing George's promise, Yang Jian and the other two's eyes lit up.

They felt that the master they had worshipped was such a good person!
