Primordial Era: I am a member of the Jie Sect, and I am the God of Literature.

When Sun Wukong became restless and waited until midnight, he happily took the old path to the back door.

Sure enough, the door was half-open, and Sun Wukong was overjoyed.

"The old master is indeed attentive to preaching to me, which is why the door is open."

He then shuffled forward, slipped through the door, and went straight to the master's bedside.

Upon seeing his patriarch curled up asleep, Sun Wukong dared not disturb him and respectfully knelt before the bed.

After an unknown amount of time, the patriarch awoke. Although he did not look at Sun Wukong, he couldn't help but recite a poem.

"Difficult! Difficult! Difficult! The Dao is most profound; do not take the Golden Elixir lightly. Without encountering a sage to impart the secret formula, empty words will only leave your mouth weary and tongue dry!"

Sun Wukong then respectfully said, "Master, your disciple has been kneeling here waiting for a long time."

Su Shao Chen also stood up at this moment, looking at Sun Wukong with a serious expression. Sun Wukong also looked up, and their eyes met, which seemed to cause a dramatic change in the atmosphere of the place.

"Since you are fortunate enough to meet me today, I am pleased to speak. Now that you understand the hidden meaning in this matter, let me ask you: Why do you wish to cultivate the Dharma in the primordial world?"

Sun Wukong looked at his master's extremely serious gaze and pondered for a moment, "Master, I don't know."

"Sigh~"

Su Shaochen couldn't help but sigh softly, and the next moment the two figures disappeared directly into the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave.

In the boundless, pitch-black sky, Su Shao Chen and Sun Wukong stood, looking down at the world and clearly seeing Xiniu Hezhou.

Su Shao Chen stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the distant chaos. His body was emanating many profound laws, which made Sun Wukong look around, seemingly very envious and covetous of his teacher's supernatural powers.

"In the primordial world, all the cultivators of the myriad paths and all the spirits vie for that one sliver of transcendence, free from the constraints of heaven and earth. But even among the Great Luo Golden Immortals, Quasi-Saints, and Saints, who in the primordial world can truly be free from the constraints of heaven and earth?"

"Now that you have just entered the primordial world, you have not experienced the tribulations of heaven and earth, nor have you thought of the myriad paths. But today, your master hopes that your future cultivation will have a goal, so that you will not be confused and aimless."

"Those who cultivate immortality are naturally immune to the erosion of time. What is the profound Dao, and what is the purpose of pursuing it? These are questions that need to be considered throughout the ages."

"Some people cultivate themselves to change their destiny and achieve a better life, like Yuan Nong. Others desire to conquer the primordial world..."

Sun Wukong was also confused when he heard his master's words. It was as if he could understand what his master was saying, but he couldn't quite understand it.

Finally, he honestly reported to his master from the heavens, "Master, I am unaware."

"You'll know later," Su Shao Chen said softly, without answering Sun Wukong.

He then looked at Sun Wukong and said, "I have a method that can absorb and release all things. You must comprehend the meaning of this method yourself. Are you willing to learn it?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong replied without hesitation, "Master, your disciple is willing to learn!"

"Good, come closer and listen carefully, for I will impart to you the wondrous way to immortality."

Wukong kowtowed in thanks, listened attentively, and quietly listened to his patriarch's teachings from the heavens.

After the patriarch passed on the wonderful techniques to Sun Wukong, his already extraordinary talent began to absorb the endless spiritual energy in the sky.

Originally at the peak of the mortal realm, Sun Wukong directly broke through to the Earth Immortal realm, and his aura did not stop, but was breaking through at a rapid rate.

A moment later, Sun Wukong had already reached the middle stage of the Celestial Immortal realm. Sun Wukong also woke up at this time and bowed to his master again.

"Very well, then go and undergo your tribulation," Su Shao Chen said directly to the stone monkey.

"Yes, Master!" Sun Wukong felt the terrifying magical power within his body and soared into the sky.

Su Shao Chen couldn't help but look up at Sun Wukong. This technique was called the Myriad Paths Immortal Technique.

It is a technique that Su Shao Chen comprehended after the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, combining the myriad paths of the primordial world with the Western Wonders, the Xuanmen, the Wen, and the Wu paths. Although it is not as powerful as the Jade Purity Immortal Technique and the Upper Purity Immortal Technique created by the sages, it can merge the body with the Dao. The more Daos it absorbs, the stronger its realm and power become.

Even within the entire prehistoric world, this is an extremely powerful and extraordinary technique. Although it may not be suitable for all living beings in the prehistoric world, it is suitable for Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong is the one destined to face the great tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods. He is destined to suffer many great tribulations in the future. If he can maintain his original mind and integrate the tribulations of the myriad paths of the primordial world into his body, his future achievements will definitely not be lower than the high level of Quasi-Saint, and he may even reach the peak of Quasi-Saint.

Not only was Su Shao Chen watching Sun Wukong undergo his tribulation, but even the two Western Saints were now looking at Sun Wukong.

"Young friend Wenchang's method is indeed suitable for this mischievous monkey. Having endured countless tribulations, if he can merge with the Dao and accumulate further merit, he will surely be revered as a quasi-saint in the future!"

Upon hearing this, the Sage of Guidance couldn't help but laugh. "Haha, this young friend Wenchang is quite amusing; calling him 'Monkey Head' is quite fitting."

Upon hearing this, the Sage Zhunti nodded in agreement, and then the two sages continued to look at Sun Wukong.

Having broken through to the middle stage of the Celestial Immortal realm, Sun Wukong happily approached Su Shao Chen and respectfully bowed.

…………

Time flies, and nine years have passed in the blink of an eye. During these nine years, Su Shao Chen did not allow Sun Wukong to break through his realm again. Instead, he continued to solidify his foundation in the cave and would often take Sun Wukong to Beiju Luzhou for training.

Su Shao Chen also passed on the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang, the Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earthly Fiends, and the Word "Xing" Technique to Sun Wukong over the past few years.

Sun Wukong was given the opportunity to observe countless minor spells, and being exceptionally talented, he even managed to comprehend three different staff techniques from among them.

He would spend his days wielding a wooden stick, creating endless stick shadows in the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave, making countless disciples in the sect envious of their junior brother.

The cave contains countless magical arts, and the teacher will teach them according to their strengths, and impart supreme techniques, but their aptitude is inherently...

Even a hundred years of cultivation cannot compare to what the junior brother did.

Sometimes, disciples like Dang Huaiyu and Xiong Wu would lament, "It's all about timing and fate!"

Unbeknownst to him, Sun Wukong had been staying in the Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars for nearly a hundred years.

The eldest disciple, Yuan Nong, had already left. He knew that even if he continued to cultivate here, his cultivation level would probably not improve much. It would be better for him to benefit the people and do good deeds, so that he might have a chance to break through in the future.

Since her breakthrough to Earth Immortal after the last sermon, the second disciple, Dang Huaiyu, had spent several decades in seclusion at the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave. After breaking through to the middle level of Earth Immortal, she also returned to the Western Liang Women's Kingdom. Their talents were already so mediocre, so rather than staying here, they might as well go and see the myriad wonders of the primordial world.

On this day, Xiong Wu also bid farewell to Su Shao Chen. He had now reached the high-level Earth Immortal realm, which was more than enough for Wild Bear Mountain. (End of Chapter)
