Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 38 Understanding Cause and Effect
Early December.

In the sky, white snowflakes began to fall continuously.

The heavy snow had been falling for a whole day and night and had not stopped yet. The Jindou Mountain was already covered in silver, but the top of the Jindou Mountain was still full of green, colorful flowers, and a vibrant scene, like a fairyland.

From a close distance, I saw that when the heavy snow was about to fall to the top of the mountain, for some unknown reason it scattered on its own, avoided the top of the mountain, and drifted away into the distance.

The avoided range happened to be like a huge bowl-shaped shield.

At this time, in the thatched hut on the top of the mountain.

Niu Yi was sitting cross-legged on the bed, breathing in the green air that filled the thatched hut, his whole body shining with golden light and magical power.

The source of those streams of emerald green air was the scent of emerald agarwood on the table, which looked like emerald green jade and was about to burn out.

When the emerald agarwood fragrance was completely burned out, Niu Yi also inhaled the last wisp of green air into his nose, and the golden light and magic power on his body slowly gathered and disappeared.

After a moment, Niu Yi opened his eyes, and a ray of precious light flashed from the bottom of his deep eyes.

"Not far from the middle stage of the demon general."

"With the help of this jade and agarwood fragrance, I should be able to break through to the level of Demon Commander within ten years!"

With his current magical power, he can refine five furnaces of other spiritual incense a day, but this jade and agarwood incense requires more spiritual materials and is more difficult and complicated to refine, so he can only refine two furnaces a day.

Fortunately, it's all worth it.

The path of cultivation becomes more and more difficult as time goes by. Niu Yi originally thought that it would take him at least seventy years to break through to the realm of Demon Commander, which is the realm of True Immortal of the human race.

Unexpectedly, during this period of time, he obtained treasures one after another, and with the blessing of jade and agarwood incense, his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds.

At this moment, he was truly confident that within ten years, he could enter the realm of the Demon Commander and live for a thousand years!

Niu Yi was just about to get up when he suddenly felt an impulse. The three cause and effect coins on his chest trembled slightly, and lines of cause and effect appeared in his eyes. These lines of cause and effect quickly weaved into a picture that appeared in Niu Yi's eyes.

In the midst of ice and snow, a water-blue fish monster that had transformed into a human but still retained the features of scales and a fish head was traveling through the forest.

"My damn Baoquanjian land is too tiring. After running through Yunwu Mountain, I have to run to Luoying Valley. After running through Luoying Valley, I have to run to Huxiao Mountain. After running through Huxiao Mountain, I have to come to this Jindou Mountain!!"

"Damn it! They said you can only see sincerity by inviting someone in person! Why don't you just run away by yourself!"

"You're setting up a banquet, and you're leaving me, a fish demon, to travel in the snow. How could you possibly think of that?"

As the water blue fish demon spoke, he picked up the water blue gourd and poured out two water blue pills, then threw them into his mouth while cursing.

In the thatched cottage, as the causal lines in his eyes slowly dissipated, Niu Yi's eyes regained their deep calmness.

"He's a chatterbox~"

Niu Yi smiled, slowly stood up, took out the cause and effect divination coins from his arms, and placed them in his hand.

[Cause and Effect Divination Coin (Blue): This treasure is both a treasure and a manifestation of divine power. In its prime, it could observe the cause and effect of three generations and predict the future fortune and misfortune. However, this treasure has been severely damaged, and now only has some of its divination power left, which is to sense cause and effect.]

[Note: Under the nourishment of the treasure energy, the karma hexagram coin has regained some of its power, enhancing inspiration and making it easier to trigger inspiration.]

Niu Yi's mind moved slightly, and his eyes became deeper and more ethereal.

In Niu Yi's eyes, lines of cause and effect were emerging from all directions and connecting to his body. Among them, there was a line of cause and effect connected to the ground. It was as thick as a hemp rope and seemed particularly tough and tightly connected to him.

This is naturally the causal line between Niu Yi and Jindou Mountain. At this time, they are closely connected, and they will prosper together and suffer together.

In this causal line as thick as a hemp rope, a fork extended from his body and extended towards the direction of Huxiao Mountain, which was where the land of Jindou Mountain was at this time.

There is also an extremely thin silk thread that is trembling slightly, which is the causal line connected to the land of Baoquanjian.

[Theory of Cause and Effect (supernatural power): understand cause and effect, reveal the cause and effect line, tell fortunes, use cause and effect to observe the will of heaven] Niu Yi swept across the silk threads in front of him one by one. Most of the silk threads were extremely thin, almost invisible, just like him, the three land gods, and the Guo Family Village.

But in addition to the causal line between him and Jindou Mountain, there are four other quite obvious threads.

Two of them, one points to the east of Jindou Mountain, with a faint flickering moonlight on it, and the other points to the west of Jindou Mountain, with a faint shadow of a spirit monkey looming.

These are the Yuehua Deer Clan and the Monkey Demon Clan who are under his command and under his protection.

The other two silk threads were always looming, but they inexplicably made him feel extremely familiar.

Could it be.
Niu Yi stretched out his hand and pointed at one of the causal lines, but when he was about to point at that line, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Hahaha~ I was wondering who it was, it turns out to be you, my cow~"

When Niu Yi heard the hearty laughter, he was surprised for a moment, and then his expression was replaced by joy.

"Old Zen Master?"

"Yes, it's me. I didn't expect that a cow like you could actually cultivate the magical power of cause and effect. It's really amazing~"

"This supernatural power was given to me by my master, but I didn't expect to alarm the Zen master. I wonder how the old Zen master is doing these days?"

"Hahaha~ Thank you for your concern, Ox. I am naturally fine, but regarding your magical powers, I have a word of advice for you."

Niu Yi heard this and said quickly:

"Master, please speak."

"Your causal magical power must be used with caution. When your cultivation level rises in the future, it will undoubtedly involve many powerful beings from the Three Realms. These powerful beings are extremely sensitive to matters concerning themselves. As soon as you touch the causal line, they will probably know about it."

"And I see that your supernatural power has the ability to tell fortunes. Remember, when it comes to matters concerning these great powers, you must never even think of telling fortunes."

Niu Yi heard this and nodded quickly, saying:
"Thank you, old Zen Master. Niu Yi understands."

How could he not understand? He remembered clearly how the previous owner of the Karma Gua Qian died.

"Hahaha~ No need to be so serious. I said it all those years ago, that we can just be friends regardless of age. If you have some free time in the future, you can come to Futu Mountain and chat with me."

"sure!"

Hearing the old Zen master's hearty laughter getting farther and farther away, Niu Yi also retracted his supernatural powers and smiled.

Although this person is very low-key, he was a person who even the Monkey King could not do anything to him back then, and his identity is extremely mysterious.

When he passed by Mount Futu, it was this old Zen Master Wuchao who gave him half a volume of the Heart Sutra of Buddhism, a volume of the Five Elements Escape Technique, and a volume of the Qi Condensation Technique, which allowed him to embark on the right path of cultivation.

On the path of seeking, this person is indeed a great benefactor to him, and has a great cause and effect relationship with him, which is also natural.

"It seems that I should be more cautious when using this theory of cause and effect to reveal the cause and effect line in the future."

"As for the land of Baoquanjian, it seems that Baoquanjian has been completely restored, and they want to take the opportunity to host a banquet for us. Well, let's go and welcome the fish monster."

As Niu Yi spoke, he put the three cause and effect coins into his arms, used the earth escape technique, and disappeared in an instant.

In the alchemy room, Taoist Guanghui, who was sitting in meditation, slowly opened his eyes and smiled.

"This Zen Master Wuchao is truly concerned about my junior fellow apprentice."

"But the old Zen master doesn't know that my junior fellow disciple has a calm temperament. Not only has he stayed on Jindou Mountain the entire time, but he also likes to make friends and never caused any trouble. Even if trouble came, he would have no shortage of drastic measures..."
