Journey to the West: Become stronger by taking on disciples, start by recruiting a demonized Sun Wuk

Chu Qing said, "As my disciple, you must abide by the following rules."

"First, after you return to Qin, you must not mention my name, understand?"

Ying Zheng was puzzled, but respectfully replied, "This disciple has remembered!"

Chu Qing nodded: "Mm."

"Secondly, you are not allowed to disturb me when I am resting."

"Third, I will accept you as my apprentice, but I will not take the initiative to teach you any skills."

How much you can learn depends on your own efforts.

Chu Qing repeated what he had said to Sun Wukong to Ying Zheng.

"Wukong, take Ying Zheng to see the cultivation techniques pavilion and the library."

He then said to Ying Zheng, "From now on, you will follow Wukong."

Sun Wukong respectfully replied, "Yes, Master!"

Ying Zheng replied, "Yes, Master!"

Chu Qing added, "Wukong, besides the cultivation technique pavilion and the library, there's also the divine weapon pavilion; you can go there too."

"While you're at it, pick out a few handy weapons."

After saying that, Chu Qing raised his finger and pointed to the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Sun Wukong looked in that direction and saw a two-story pavilion amidst the swirling mist.

His eyes lit up immediately; this time, his master had given him a weapon!

"Alright, Master, I'm leaving now."

"Junior brother, come with me!"

Ying Zheng also said to Chu Qing, "Master, your disciple is leaving."

Chu Qing waved his sleeve: "You may go."

After saying that, he leaned back in his chair and soon started snoring.

Ying Zheng followed Sun Wukong into the cultivation techniques building and asked in a low voice, "Senior brother, is Master always like this?"

Sun Wukong nodded: "Junior brother, you'll get used to it."

"But you must remember, there are a few things your master told you you must never disobey."

"Otherwise, if Master gets angry, the consequences will be severe."

Sun Wukong had never seen his master truly angry, but he had heard that his master was terrifying when he was enraged!

Ying Zheng nodded quickly, keeping his senior brother's words in mind.

He knew he must never disobey his master's orders.

"Junior brother, don't worry. As long as you obey your master, he is actually very kind."

Ying Zheng nodded: "Senior brother, I understand. Where are we going?"

Sun Wukong replied, "Your senior brother will take you to the Cultivation Techniques Pavilion. There are cultivation techniques inside that you can practice."

"With the cultivation method, you can start practicing!"

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, and anticipation appeared on his usually composed face.

Cultivation techniques, practice, learn immortal arts!

……

In front of the Gongfa Building.

Sun Wukong and Ying Zheng stopped in their tracks.

"Junior brother, this is the cultivation technique building."

Sun Wukong pointed to the plaque and said, "Let's go in."

Ying Zheng stared at the plaque of the Cultivation Techniques Building, suppressing his excitement, and followed Sun Wukong into the building.

The doors of the Gongfa Building were wide open, and rows of bookshelves came into view, so many that they seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see.

Ying Zheng gasped, "Senior brother, are these all cultivation techniques?"

Sun Wukong nodded: "These bookshelves are full of cultivation techniques!"

Ying Zheng said, "My father did indeed find immortals."

"But they refused to teach the immortal techniques."

"So, the methods for achieving immortality and attaining enlightenment were just piled up on the bookshelf."

He was filled with emotion, lamenting that as the ruler of the country, he could not even obtain a cultivation manual.

There are as many cultivation techniques here as there are ordinary items.

What a world of difference!

Sun Wukong said, "Junior brother, didn't you see Master's strength? Master is the most powerful immortal in this world!"

Ying Zheng fully agreed.

He knew how powerful his master was.

He then asked, "Senior brother, what should I do?"

Sun Wukong's eyes darted around, and he deliberately teased Ying Zheng, also wanting to test his comprehension.

"Just choose one of these techniques."

Ying Zheng was surprised: "It's that simple?"

When he was a young master, he read novels about immortals and heroes, which all said that one had to go through many trials to obtain the skills.

Without much thought, Ying Zheng walked straight to the bookshelf and picked up a book at random.

"Senior brother, why is the cover of this cultivation manual blank, without a name?"

Sun Wukong said, "Open this book, and the names of the techniques will appear by themselves."

Ying Zheng completely believed it and reached out to turn the page.

Sun Wukong watched with a smile, as if he were enjoying a good show.

Ying Zheng used all his strength, but the book remained as still as a stone.

Ying Zheng asked in surprise, "Senior brother, why is that?"

Sun Wukong smiled and said, "Junior brother, you must figure it out for yourself."

Ying Zheng understood that his senior brother was both joking and testing him.

He stopped asking questions and lowered his head to think.

"My senior brother said it depends on comprehension. Does obtaining this technique really depend on comprehension?"

"No, I don't know the name of the cultivation technique, and I can't open the book. How can I learn it?"

Ying Zheng suddenly remembered what Chu Qing had said before.

Even if a master accepts you as an apprentice, he won't teach you proactively; how much you learn depends on yourself.

Ying Zheng's eyes immediately lit up.

He got it.

The key lies in the word "fate".

"Senior brother, I can't open this cultivation manual because I'm not destined to have it, right?"

Ying Zheng asked Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Junior brother is very clever, you guessed it right the first time, but you are a little less clever than me."

Sun Wukong was not lying.

It took him almost no time to figure it out.

After receiving confirmation, Ying Zheng said, "Senior brother, I understand now. So every word Master said had a purpose."

Sun Wukong said, "That's why I reminded you to remember every word your master said."

"Master sent you to the Cultivation Hall, not just for a casual stroll."

Ying Zheng nodded, understanding.

He vowed to remember every word Chu Qing said and to ponder it repeatedly.

Put the book back in its place and close your eyes.

The problem has been identified; the rest is up to fate.

Ying Zheng closed his eyes and carefully sensed the surroundings.

A sense of calling arose in his heart.

"Senior brother, I sensed it!"

Following the call, Ying Zheng walked deeper into the cultivation technique building.

Sun Wukong did not go with them.

Ying Zheng's destiny was his own; Sun Wukong's presence was useless to him.

After a quarter of an hour, Ying Zheng stopped in front of a bookshelf.

He held a book in his hands.

The moment Ying Zheng received the book, three ancient characters appeared on the plain white cover: "Casting a Holy Dynasty".

"This is my destiny!"

Ying Zheng smiled slightly and turned the pages of the book.

The complete mysteries of the Holy Dynasty surged into his consciousness.

A sacred-level secret manual that does not cultivate the physical body, the primordial spirit, or magical power, but focuses solely on cultivating the dynasty's fortune.

The dynasty's destiny forged a holy dynasty.

As long as the Holy Dynasty exists, cultivators will live forever.

When the Holy Dynasty collapsed, the cultivators perished, both in body and spirit.

……

Chu Qing received a system notification in her dream.

"Ding! Ying Zheng has obtained a Saint-level secret manual to forge a Holy Dynasty."

"The system has been synchronized and enhanced before being mapped to the host."

Chu Qing opened her eyes: "Ying Zheng obtained the cultivation technique so quickly? I need to see it."

He began to examine the profound meaning of forging a holy dynasty.

It's clear at a glance.

This sacred-level secret manual, which forges a holy dynasty, is a cultivation method designed for monarchs.

The cultivation system is completely different from that of the Journey to the West world.

The demand was to transform the illusory imperial destiny into reality and to forge the dynasty into an immortal holy dynasty.

The stronger the Holy Dynasty, the higher the cultivation level and strength of its cultivators.

Conversely, if the Holy Dynasty falls, all the cultivators' lifelong cultivation will disappear, and they themselves will turn to ashes.

Practicing this kind of skill means betting your entire life on the rise and fall of a dynasty.

This technique is a perfect match for Qin Shi Huang.

Chu Qing recalled the majestic scene of Emperor Qin Shi Huang conquering the six kingdoms and unifying the world on Blue Star in his previous life, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

If this child could also unify the Southern Continent and even the entire Journey to the West world like Qin Shi Huang on Earth, what a great achievement that would be!

"With this technique, he will surely be able to cultivate to sainthood!"

"If my disciple becomes a saint, I will also benefit from it."

Chu Yue became more and more excited as he thought about it, and he was completely unable to sleep.
