Journey to the West: We're too early, Nezha is only seven years old.

"Why is such a blessed place unclaimed?" Zhou Xiaobai muttered to himself in surprise.

Qianyuan Mountain is the location of the Golden Light Cave, the abode of the Taiyi Zhenren, and is one of the most famous blessed lands in the world. The spiritual energy of this nameless island is comparable to that of the Taiyi Zhenren.

Theoretically, this island shouldn't be unknown; he recalled the legendary fairy island from his previous life.

"Could it be Flower Fruit Mountain?" he guessed.

This is not hard to confirm; he had seen a spectacular waterfall cascading from the mountaintop to the pool below.

He walked quickly to the waterfall and jumped in without hesitation.

Behind the waterfall is a cave, and inside the cave, one can faintly see a stone tablet inscribed with the words "Blessed Land of Flower and Fruit Mountain, Heavenly Cave of Water Curtain Cave".

When he tried to enter the Water Curtain Cave, he found a restriction that prevented him from going any further.

He shook his head. Sure enough, the Water Curtain Cave was an opportunity reserved for Sun Wukong, and everything was arranged.

No wonder such a blessed place as Flower Fruit Mountain is unclaimed; it's just a mystery how he was able to find it.

In fact, Zhou Xiaobai was unaware of his own special nature. His soul came from another world and was not within the calculations of the powerful beings in this world, which is why he was able to find this place before Sun Wukong was born.

Zhou Xiaobai did not forcibly break the restrictions on the Water Curtain Cave. This place did not belong to him in the first place, and forcibly occupying it would not bring any benefits, but rather a huge trouble.

He began searching again throughout Flower Fruit Mountain, believing that the stone that gave birth to Sun Wukong should be somewhere there at this moment.

Without much searching, he soon found the stone on the mountaintop.

This rock is so eye-catching; it is egg-shaped and located on the eastern side of the mountaintop.

Zhou Xiaobai came to the stone and examined it closely, but found nothing special about it.

Even when he used his mental powers to investigate, the result was the same; the stone seemed to be just an ordinary stone.

"Whose methods are these?" he wondered to himself.

His own strength was too weak; even if he knew that the stone in front of him was nurturing Sun Wukong, he was unable to explore its secrets.

However, he was not prepared to give up; he had his own methods.

He covered the stone with his own imprint space, and all the secrets within the imprint space were exposed.

He sensed that the front of the stone was imprinted with the Buddhist swastika symbol, while the back was marked with a tai chi symbol. The two symbols sealed the stone and simultaneously drew energy from the void, injecting it into the stone's interior.

His spirit skipped over the outer swastika and tai chi symbol and discovered a small monkey with its body curled up in a ball.

"Are you the mother?" Just as Zhou Xiaobai's mind made contact with the little monkey, a feedback message came through.

Zhou Xiaobai was startled, then felt a bit dumbfounded.

If the future Sun Wukong calls him "Mom," will Sun Wukong kill him when he remembers it later?

"I'm a man!" Zhou Xiaobai explained mentally.

"That's Daddy!" the little monkey exclaimed excitedly.

"I'm not!" Zhou Xiaobai quickly said, he wouldn't get involved in this mess.

"Daddy, Daddy!" the little monkey cried happily, ignoring his explanation.

Zhou Xiaobai sighed inwardly. Although this little monkey was born and raised by nature and had intelligence even when it was still in the womb, its intelligence had not yet fully developed.

Now, no matter what he explains, the little monkey won't listen; it will only stick to its own ideas.

This is normal. Baby monkeys are living beings too, and they have a natural affinity for the first living being they meet, so it's not surprising that they would treat it like their parents.

"I'll make a contract with you. I'll teach you the 'Eight-Nine Arcane Arts' now, and you'll teach me the 'Seventy-Two Transformations' later. Are you willing?" Zhou Xiaobai conveyed his thoughts to the little monkey through his mind.

He felt a little uneasy, as it was truly a case of getting something for nothing.

Because Sun Wukong had the opportunity to learn the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts," he used the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" that Sun Wukong learned later to exchange for the supernatural power of "Seventy-Two Transformations."

However, it wouldn't be accurate to say that Zhou Xiaobai benefited from this situation. The little monkey learned the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" early on, which allowed him to possess a certain level of combat power at a young age.

Furthermore, the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" and the "Seventy-Two Transformations" are roughly the same level of martial arts, so trading them is within the reasonable scope.

"Dad, I want to learn skills, I agree, I agree!" The little monkey agreed without hesitation when he heard that Zhou Xiaobai wanted to teach him the "Eight-Nine Arcane Skills".

The little monkey regarded Zhou Xiaobai as his father, and since he could sense that Zhou Xiaobai had good intentions, he readily agreed.

Zhou Xiaobai transferred all of the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" in his mind to the little monkey in one go.

As for whether the little monkey can cultivate the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts," that's beyond his consideration.

The little monkey received the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" and immediately stopped replying, seemingly engrossed in the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts".

Zhou Xiaobai wasn't in a hurry. After checking the time, he took a 'Heavenly Dragon Pill' and began cultivating the 'Great Celestial Immortal Technique'.

The spiritual energy here is extremely abundant, which makes his cultivation very effective and allows him to maximize the effects of the 'Heavenly Dragon Pill'.

When he finished his cultivation, he found the little monkey in a strange pose.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Xiaobai asked curiously.

Although he had some suspicions, he simply couldn't believe that the little monkey was practicing the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts".

He had possessed the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" for over a hundred days, yet he had only grasped the basics. He couldn't believe that the little monkey's talent could surpass his by so much.

"This is the 'Eight-Nine Arcane Skills' that Dad taught me!" the little monkey replied.

He then transmitted his understanding of the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" to Zhou Xiaobai through his mind. Zhou Xiaobai received this understanding while comparing it with his own superficial insights.

Zhou Xiaobai was shocked to discover that the little monkey had already comprehended the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" to the entry level, and could at least formally cultivate the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts".

An indescribable sense of loss rose in his heart. Thinking of Nezha, and then of the little monkey in front of him, the future Great Sage Equal to Heaven, the difference was so great that it almost caused his Dao heart to collapse.

"Don't compare yourself to Sun Wukong, he's a ruthless man who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace!" Zhou Xiaobai repeatedly warned himself.

The "Eight-Nine Mystic Arts" is also known as the Nine Revolutions Yuan Arts. The cultivation levels range from one to nine revolutions. Each revolution can enhance the cultivator's physical body by one realm. Once the physical body is cultivated to the first revolution, one can reach the Earth Immortal realm.

Once one cultivates to the ninth level, their physical body alone will possess the level of a saint.

This is a top-tier cultivation technique that directly leads to the path of physical cultivation. Only seven-year-old Nezha and Zhou Xiaobai, who knew nothing, dared to teach it casually.

Upon receiving the little monkey's understanding of the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts," Zhou Xiaobai hurriedly began practicing it.

He struck the same pose as the little monkey, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged into his body, constantly cleansing his flesh.

After a long time, at the hour of Chen (7-9 AM), a round sun rose from the east over the East China Sea.
