Journey to the West: I am the fiercest bird under Bodhi's seat

He chuckled inwardly: This stupid monkey is still the same as ever; a few sweet words are all it takes to fool him.

He waved his hand and laughed, "Now that you understand, let's have a good time together! Come, get the wine!"

The monkey immediately perked up, turned around and ran to the side, actually lifting up a huge vat.

The aroma of the wine in the vat was enticing; it was the newly brewed Jade Elixir from the Jade Pool.

With a crash, the large vat hit the ground, and the monkey grinned, "Senior brother, please!"

Ye Feng glanced at the vat, then subtly stepped aside, saying, "Junior brother, please do as you please. I'll go take a walk over there."

He slowly walked towards the other side of the Peach Banquet.

Everywhere you look, there are delicacies and rare treasures, and the air is filled with ethereal beauty.

The monkey watched his retreating figure, laughing and shouting, "Senior brother, your magical powers are boundless, but your alcohol tolerance is terrible!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already grabbed the wine jar and tilted his head back to drink it down in a frenzy.

In a short while, the monkey's face turned bright red, its steps faltered, and its body swayed like a withered leaf in the wind.

Ye Feng glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and shook his head silently.

He turned his attention to the delicacies on the table, where he saw various kinds of strange animal organs, bones and flesh, fried or roasted, golden and shiny, with an irresistible aroma.

He casually picked up a plate and put it in his mouth, and his eyes immediately lit up.

Not only is it incredibly delicious, but it also possesses a rich spiritual essence.

Ordinary immortals can absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth without needing to eat or drink.

But Ye Feng could see clearly that most of the immortals in the Heavenly Court were greedy for food and drink.

The ingredients here are all extraordinary, imbued with spiritual energy.

The stronger the spiritual energy, the better the taste, hence its popularity.

Such grand events as the Peach Banquet used top-grade tribute items, which were rarely seen on ordinary days.

How could we possibly miss such an opportunity?

He opened his mouth and inhaled, and the entire plate of delicacies instantly entered his stomach.

After chewing it a couple of times, I swallowed it, and a warm current immediately rose from my lower abdomen.

He silently circulated the "Chaotic Golden Crow Technique," and the pure spiritual energy was rapidly refined, which actually helped him gain a hundred years of cultivation!

Ye Feng was overjoyed: The Queen Mother was indeed generous; the food served to her guests was all of the highest quality.

At his current level, ordinary immortal wine and fruits are merely a craving, offering little benefit.

At this moment, no waste was allowed, so they immediately opened their appetites and devoured all kinds of delicacies and wines.

Despite his appearance being no different from that of an ordinary person, if he were to reveal his true form, he would be hundreds of thousands of feet tall and could swallow all the guests of Yaochi in one gulp.

He indulged in this unrestrained feasting, and in a short time, he accumulated a thousand years of cultivation.

In addition to the power of the nine-thousand-year-old peach he had previously consumed, it is estimated that he has accumulated more than 100,000 years of magical power.

In this way, we are one step closer to the realm of the One Yuan Hui.

Seeing him eating so heartily, the monkeys kicked the wine jar aside and stumbled over to snatch the food.

Half a jar of fine wine was spilled onto the ground, turning into a shimmering, ethereal mist.

The two of them, without any restraint, turned the entire Peach Banquet into a mess, with cups and plates scattered everywhere.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the monkey was completely drunk, muttering that he couldn't even tell which way was which.

Although Ye Feng had drunk quite a bit, he remained clear-headed.

Seeing this, he whispered, "It's almost time, we should go."

The monkey mumbled in response, "Yes, yes, yes... If we don't leave now, we'll get caught and won't be able to escape..."

As he spoke, he was still carrying half a jar of leftover wine and was about to move it outside.

Ye Feng stopped him abruptly: "Wait, are you just going to leave like this?"

The monkey turned around in confusion.

Ye Feng smiled slightly: "Wouldn't it be a pity to leave so many fine wines and immortal treasures here?"

Why not take them all with us, so that the little monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain can broaden their horizons and taste the flavors of heaven?

The Monkey King trembled, his drunkenness subsiding slightly: "Brother is right, I, Old Sun, was so drunk that I forgot all about the children of Flower Fruit Mountain."

Before he finished speaking, he made a hand seal and chanted an incantation, took out a piece of cloth, spread it out, and gathered all the leftover food from the banquet into it.

Then roll it up into a package and carry it in your hand.

Seeing this, Ye Feng chuckled and said, "You lead the way."

Caught off guard, the monkey wobbled away.

Ye Feng was clear-headed and followed at a distance.

Although the hairy spirit staggered, it was indeed heading towards the South Heavenly Gate.

After leaving the Jade Pool, all around was deserted, and there were no immortals coming or going.

The two traveled on clouds, without seeing a single person along the way, only swirling celestial mist, like woven satin, paving a hidden path in the air.

The monkey, oblivious to anything amiss, took steps onto the cloud path, emboldened by the alcohol.

Ye Feng remained silent and quietly followed.

About two hours later, the view ahead suddenly opened up, revealing an ancient and solemn palace.

An altar was set up in front of the hall, arranged according to the eight trigrams.

The Monkey King was taken aback. He looked up and saw the four large characters "Tushuai Heaven Palace" written on the plaque.

"How strange! We were heading towards the South Heavenly Gate, how did we end up at the Tushita Palace?"

He scratched his head, completely baffled.

Ye Feng closed his eyes slightly, gazing at the palace before him, his heart filled with turbulent emotions.

Although I knew this was inevitable, I still couldn't help but smile wryly when it actually happened.

They all acted so bluntly... they could only fool this silly monkey.

This place is the highest point of the Thirty-Three Heavens—the Heaven of Separation from Hatred, the abode of Laozi, also known as the Tushita Heaven Palace.

And Laozi is the incarnation of Lao Tzu.

They reside permanently in the Heavenly Court, holding an extremely prestigious position.

How revered was he? Even Ye Feng, the Great Emperor of Tai, who had stayed in the Heavenly Realm for many days, had never seen him once.

Ye Feng stepped forward and said in a calm tone, "Wukong, we have long admired the name of the Supreme Lord, but have had no chance to meet him since entering the Heavenly Court. Now that we are here, why not pay him a visit? Wouldn't that be a good opportunity?"

Without a doubt, the monkey grinned and said, "Senior brother is right! It would be good to go and say hello; maybe we can even get a few elixirs to try."

The two talked as they walked toward the palace gate.

The surroundings were completely silent, and not a single person was in sight.

The monkey frowned and muttered, "Where did Laozi go? He didn't even leave a gatekeeper?"

A bead of cold sweat immediately appeared on Ye Feng's forehead.

This monkey is truly fearless.

How dare they ridicule a sage like this?

Although the order of heaven and earth was restored after the Investiture of the Gods, the sages retreated into seclusion, and the Heavenly Court was the most revered in the Three Realms.

Nowadays, most people are unaware of the power of sages, but this monkey is a prime example.

He didn't even know that Bodhi Patriarch was one of the saints.

Ye Feng followed closely behind, cautiously venturing deeper into the palace.

The monkey, still intoxicated and utterly fearless, continued shouting and yelling until he discovered the entire Tushita Palace was deserted, filling him with doubt.

He glanced back at Ye Feng, who was looking around, and asked, "Senior brother, what are you looking for?"

Ye Feng casually replied, "Of course, I'll find the alchemy room."

The monkey's eyes lit up: "Oh, that makes sense! Everyone says that the Supreme Dao Ancestor is the best alchemist in the world, and that Nine-Turn Golden Elixir is even more precious than a nine-thousand-year-old peach. As the saying goes, since we've come all this way, how can we leave empty-handed? We have to bring back some treasures."

As he spoke, he looked around and suddenly saw a side hall not far away, from which a faint light emanated.

As the two approached, they saw that it was indeed the alchemy room, with the door half-open and no restrictions or barriers.

The monkey pushed open the door and entered. He saw that the house was spacious, with a furnace in the center, and the Eight Trigrams Furnace on it was burning fiercely, with hot steam rising.

A cinnabar stand stands beside the furnace, with five gourds neatly arranged on either side.

The Monkey King was overjoyed and rushed forward to take the gourd. He held it to his ear and shook it gently, hearing a tinkling sound.

He exclaimed excitedly, "Senior brother, look! This gourd contains the golden elixir!"

Pull out the stopper, pour it into your mouth, and swallow it one after another like chewing beans.

There weren't many gourds left, only seven or eight, and he ate them all up in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Ye Feng was afraid that if he was too slow, he would lose the initiative, so he quickly took action and grabbed the other three gourds into his arms.

Upon opening one of them, a unique fragrance immediately fills the air. With just a gentle sniff, one feels refreshed and clear-headed, with all five senses activated.

If an ordinary person were to inhale this breath, they would likely be cured of all diseases on the spot, and extending their lifespan by eight hundred years would not be difficult.

Unlike monkeys, he didn't waste the precious item; he carefully poured out a single pill and swallowed it.

In an instant, a surge of powerful spiritual energy flowed down his throat and into his meridians, its force far surpassing that of a nine-thousand-year-old peach.

Ye Feng immediately channeled his inner energy to refine the energy, and within moments, he felt his magical power increase significantly.

Upon silently calculating, he was shocked—a single golden pill had actually added ten thousand years to his cultivation!

Its effects were even better than those of the peaches of immortality!

His magical power has now reached over 110,000 years, a state of perfection. Taking another pill will bring him close to the number of a full cycle.

At that moment, he finally had the opportunity to break through to the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Looking down at the gourd in his arms, he saw that the one he had opened earlier still contained seven golden pills.

Meanwhile, the monkey beside him had already picked up another gourd, tilted its head back and drank it down, the spiritual liquid pouring into its mouth like rain.

He no longer cared about manners and immediately began to swallow the golden pills into the gourd.

After finishing the whole gourd, he quickly opened the remaining two and poured all the pills into his stomach without stopping.

The three gourds contained a total of twenty-four Nine-Turn Golden Pills, whose medicinal power erupted instantly.

The magical power within his body surged forth like a river bursting its banks, endlessly flowing and converging into a vast and boundless ocean.

Combined with the foundation they had already accumulated, they actually condensed into a massive magical power equivalent to three eons.

This power was too violent, even he himself could not suppress it, so he immediately sat down cross-legged and began to circulate the Chaos Golden Crow Technique.

A dazzling golden light emerged from its surface, like the rising sun.

Without any hindrance, it broke through the long-standing constraints in one fell swoop.

This is a breakthrough achieved by crushing the bottleneck with absolute power and relying entirely on powerful magic.

The power of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir is unparalleled, and the Three Elements Assembly's magical power surges and roars, causing the heavens and earth to change color.

About fifteen minutes later, he slowly opened his eyes, and the world around him suddenly became clear.

With a slight shift in his mind, the trajectory of the Great Dao's origin became clearer than ever before.

The Chaos Golden Crow Technique also leaped to the next level—

Great Golden Immortal.

The ultimate path to immortality.

Ye Feng let out a long breath, his heart filled with emotion: this trip had yielded far more than he had expected.

Now he has truly joined the ranks of the top experts.

With the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm as its foundation, supplemented by its own supernatural powers and numerous spiritual treasures, it is enough to rank among the top in the Three Realms.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a monkey squatting in front of me, its eyes sparkling with surprise.

"Why are you staring at me?" Ye Feng asked.

The monkey grinned: "Senior brother, you really don't know?"

Just now, golden flames suddenly erupted from your body, transforming into a phantom of a golden crow that soared into the sky, radiating boundless light and unleashing a scorching heat wave. Even I, Old Sun, could not stand firm! Fortunately, the roof of this alchemy room is extraordinary, stopping the golden crow's soaring momentum. It only returned to your body after you awoke.

Ye Feng was startled, realizing that this was an unusual phenomenon caused by his attainment of the Great Luo Dao.

This alchemy room was indeed the abode of Laozi, as it was able to suppress the golden crow form created by the true fire of the sun.

If this technique were used outdoors, this wondrous sight would likely be visible throughout the thirty-three heavens.

After swallowing two gourds of golden pills, the monkey sobered up and was now somewhat uneasy.
