Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 132 Coming out of seclusion
In the fourth year of Niu Yi's retreat, Guangshan suddenly came to the foot of Lantao Mountain, intending to visit him, but was stopped by Taoist Guanghui.

"Big Brother, is Junior Brother Guangyi still in seclusion?"

Seeing the eldest brother nod with a smile, Guangshan also nodded with some regret and said:

"What a pity! After leaving the mountain this time, I don't know if I'll ever be able to return. I wanted to say goodbye to Junior Brother Guangyi, but now I've missed the opportunity."

That year, the many peach trees planted by Junior Brother Guangyi bore peaches. According to the agreement made that year, a large number of peaches were sent to him for him to taste. Guangshan then knew that Junior Brother Guangyi was a trustworthy person and he was willing to make friends with him.

Unfortunately, Junior Brother Guangyi is in seclusion now. After today, it will be difficult to see him again.

"Haha~ Guangshan, if you succeed in this trip, I believe we'll meet again someday."

Guangshan's expression straightened, and he bowed to the eldest brother and said:

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for your kind words. Master is currently in retreat, and I've asked Junior Brother Guangwu to pass on a message. Senior Brother, please take care of yourself in the future."

Guanghui nodded with a smile on his face, and looked at Guangshan who turned and walked away, muttering:
"I wish you success on this journey, Junior Brother Guangshan."

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

Guangwu, who was practicing, suddenly received a message from his senior brother, asking him to find him at the foot of Rotten Peach Mountain.

Guangwu's eyes lit up and he stood up quickly.

"Rotten Peach Mountain? Could it be that Junior Brother Guangyi has succeeded?"

When Guangwu thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. He walked out of the room quickly and headed towards Rotten Peach Mountain.

When Guangwu arrived at Rotten Peach Mountain, he was shocked to see his senior brother standing in front of the Rotten Peach Mountain, where everything seemed normal. He was looking at the Rotten Peach Mountain with a look of admiration on his face.

"Big Brother!"

Taoist Guanghui turned around, looked at Guangwu who was walking towards him quickly, and said with a smile:
"Junior Brother Guangyi is about to succeed. Let's go. I'll take you to Rotten Peach Mountain to have a look. Wait for Junior Brother Guangyi."

Upon hearing this, Guangwu nodded quickly, came to the side of Taoist Guanghui, and walked into the Rotten Peach Mountain with his eldest brother.

The invisible magic circle surrounding the Rotten Peach Mountain flashed slightly, and the Rotten Peach Mountain in front of the two people became very different.

"Such a rich Daoist aura, it actually fills the entire Rotten Peach Mountain."

Guangwu looked at the rhythm of the Tao of Earthly Dao that permeated the entire Rotten Peach Mountain, and couldn't help but look at Taoist Guanghui beside him in surprise.

These Dao rhymes were spreading from the top of the mountain, and were obviously the strange phenomena in heaven and earth caused by Junior Brother Guangyi's practice this time.

"Big Brother, could the Earth Yuan Pill refined by Senior Zhen Yuanzi actually have such a terrifying effect? ​​Junior Brother Guangyi is probably on the verge of fully understanding the Great Dao of Earthly Paths by now, right?"

Taoist Guanghui smiled and shook his head:

"That senior Zhen Yuanzi is an old friend of the ancestor. It is said that he is also quite protective of his own shortcomings. The elixir he refined for his disciples is certainly not simple, it can be said to be extremely mysterious."

"But a big commotion like your Junior Brother Guangyi's can't be made with just a Di Yuan Great Pill. I think even if your Junior Brother Guangyi hasn't completely comprehended the Great Dao of Earth Element, he's probably at least halfway there."

Guangwu heard this and nodded in sudden realization.

He was also very clear that Junior Brother Guangyi had an Earth Spirit Pearl in his hand. According to what the eldest senior brother said, Junior Brother Guangyi had other helpers in achieving his goal this time, and that should be the Earth Spirit Pearl.

Furthermore, Junior Brother Guangyi possessed an exceptionally high talent for the Earth Element. Perhaps it was precisely because of these three factors that he was able to improve at such a rapid rate. At this very moment, the Dao rhyme that permeated and nourished the entire Rotten Peach Mountain was rapidly converging towards the mountaintop. Simultaneously, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was also madly rushing towards the mountaintop.

"Junior brother, is he about to break through?"

"Not yet, but this time, his progress is indeed great."

Taoist Guanghui said with a smile and continued to walk towards the mountain with Guangwu.

When the two of them reached the top of the mountain, they immediately saw the peach forest that had completely become an acquired spiritual root and the thatched cottage in it that was constantly radiating golden light.

However, the golden light radiating from the hut became stronger and stronger, and the spiritual energy around it was also sweeping towards it madly. Soon, the hut could not bear the weight and fell apart, revealing the golden figure floating inside.

But at this moment, the golden figure was shining with golden light, full of the aura of immortality, and behind him, a nine-turn golden wheel was slowly rotating, with precious light shining on it.

"Junior Brother Guangyi has cultivated the Eight-Nine Profound Art quite well. It really suits him. I hope that one day he can compete with the person in Guanjiangkou who has also cultivated the Eight-Nine Profound Art and compare their strength."

"Junior brother has the blessing of his Duobao Divine Body. Who will win or lose is really exciting~"

"Could it be that the elder brother is talking about the Holy Lord Erlang who split the mountain to save his mother at Guanjiangkou?"

"Exactly."

At this moment, Niu Yi, who was floating in the air, suddenly had a golden bull phantom appear behind him. As the bull let out a long moo, the entire Rotten Peach Mountain seemed to tremble slightly with excitement.

"Moo——"

Guangwu's eyes lit up when he saw the golden bull shadow behind Junior Brother Guangyi. The last time he saw Junior Brother Guangyi in this form was when Junior Brother Guangyi was undergoing a tribulation.

Taoist Guanghui nodded slightly.

"This Rotten Peach Mountain has received the kindness of Junior Brother Guangyi, and it has also suffered the consequences of Junior Brother Guangyi's actions. If Junior Brother Guangyi wants to learn some more Shinto methods, I'm afraid he can become the mountain god of this Rotten Peach Mountain~"

But on Niu Yi's side, when all the Taoist rhyme in the mountain disappeared and the spiritual energy returned to normal, Niu Yi slowly opened his eyes and looked at the two senior brothers in front of him.

Niu Yi then went up to him with a smile.

"Senior Brother Guanghui, Senior Brother Guangwu."

Guangwu looked at his junior brother Guangyi in front of him. Although Guangyi seemed to be no different from before, he gave him a feeling of vastness, tolerance and invulnerability as if facing the boundless earth.

Guangwu couldn't help but said excitedly:
"Junior brother, you are truly amazing this time. Have you fully comprehended the Great Dao of Earthly Path?"

Niu Yi shook his head and said with a smile:
"Not yet, but it will be soon. I think within twenty years, I will be able to fully comprehend the Great Dao of Earth Element."

By then, he will be confident of breaking through to the realm of the Great Demon King!

Senior Zhen Yuanzi's Earth Yuan Pill was indeed extremely mysterious. With the help of that Earth Yuan Pill and the fact that the Earth Spirit Pearl had initially recognized its master, his cultivation speed increased greatly. During these five years of seclusion, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Demon King.

As long as you comprehend the great way of earth, you can break through the realm of the great demon king!

His elder brother Jinfu, the three-legged golden toad, and the thousand-year-old fox king of Jilei Mountain were only at this level, but they had gone further than him.
