The primordial chaos has arrived, and you have to choose the crow at the start.

One by one they came out, and each of them received a suitable cultivation method.

According to them, when the patriarch was preaching, they would ask him questions and everyone else around them would disappear, as if the patriarch was preaching to them one-on-one.

Finally, Dong Xiaomiao also emerged, slightly in a semi-automatic state, but she was still in a state of enlightenment, looking dazed and absent-minded.

As soon as Li Shuangyan and Li Bairen came out, they went straight to their residence to tidy up the house.

Chen Geng is not a disciple, and he does not own a house, but fortunately he does not need one, so he declined the invitation from his fellow Earthlings.

So every day he would watch everyone's cultivation in the peach grove behind the mountain.

Although the patriarch said he would not preach to Chen Geng, he did not refuse Chen Geng to read it himself.

He is truly gifted; he can see the essence of those immortal techniques at a glance and analyze their causes and effects.

Li Shuangyan was lucky. She had learned the hand breathing technique in Zhongnan Mountain and was now accepted as a disciple. She was also of the Wu generation, and her ancestor passed on the Heart Sword Dao to her.

This Heart Sword Dao is based on the heart, refining the heart into sword intent. The stronger the heart, the stronger the sword intent, and theoretically, there is no upper limit to the power it can unleash.

This can be considered the way of the sword, or the way of the mind. Chen Geng deduced the two essential paths through the various qualities of the sword and mind displayed by Li Shuangyan.

Unfortunately, she is still in the early stages, and it will take a long time before we can see more of her.

Chen Geng's main focus remained on the stone monkey.

After the monkey arrived, he served tea and water, read books and learned to write, and was given the name Wukong by the patriarch.

Chen Geng had tried to get close to him, but the stone monkey, being a truly intelligent stone monkey, was able to sense Chen Geng's intention to use him and refused to approach him.

Today he felt it was time for him to have a heart-to-heart talk with the stone monkey.

On the back of Fangcun Mountain, after listening to the sermon that day, Sun Wukong was thinking about peaches. He immediately ran to the peach grove to look for edible peaches.

But no matter how hard he looked, there weren't many ripe peaches, and he was so anxious that he jumped up and down in frustration.

"Sun Wukong".

A voice rang out, and Chen Geng blocked his way.

"It's you again."

Sun Wukong scratched his cheek in annoyance, blinked, and looked him up and down: "Why do you always come looking for me? I, Old Sun, don't have anything to give you, so why are you so persistent?"

  

"Ugh, so annoying, so annoying!"

"I'm not a good person."

Chen Geng cut to the chase: "Monkey, the Patriarch won't accept me, but I want to learn something, so I'd like to make a deal with you."

Sun Wukong was taken aback upon hearing this, then his eyes darted around and he circled Chen Geng several times.

"If the patriarch won't accept you, then why are you still on the mountain?"

"The patriarch wouldn't accept me, but He also wouldn't drive me away."

Chen Geng smiled and said, "You are the intelligent stone monkey, you should be able to understand."

Sun Wukong paused for a moment while scratching his cheek, then turned his back and said, "No, no, I'll ask the Patriarch tomorrow. If he agrees, I'll make a deal with you."

This monkey is clever; it truly lives up to its name as the Spiritual Stone Monkey.

Chen Geng thought to himself, everyone probably underestimated this monkey.

He remained in the peach grove, and Sun Wukong returned the next day.

"The patriarch did not answer me."

He scratched his head: "Um, tell me what kind of deal it is?"

"Simple. Just show me what you've learned each day."

"Just once, can you understand it?"

Sun Wukong didn't believe him: "I have to think about it several times. If you can understand it, then..."

"So what are my benefits?"

"The benefit is that I'll give you a handy weapon."

Chen Geng looked out of the mountains and saw a familiar face wandering around Fangcun Mountain.

Ao Mi, the eighth prince of the West Sea Dragon Clan, is bound to cause trouble for the Dragon Clan.

"weapon?"

Sun Wukong's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "What kind of weapon is this? Don't try to fool me with just any random one."

"It's definitely not bad. If you're not satisfied, I'll change it until you are."

Sun Wukong still didn't answer directly, but told him that he should ask his ancestor.

On the third day, the monkey came scratching his head. Chen Geng asked him what happened and found out that he had gotten annoyed by asking the patriarch questions and had been beaten.

"How many times did you get hit?"

"Ouch, that hurt so much!"

Oh... so it seems that it's not about teaching him the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends Divine Powers, but rather that he's genuinely tired of being asked questions.

But the Earthly Fiends Divine Power wasn't enough; the true skills taught by Patriarch Bodhi included the Thirty-Six Heavenly Divine Powers.

Chen Geng then went to find Li Bairen.

Li Bairen was cultivating, consuming qi and mist, and his cultivation was progressing by leaps and bounds every day.

On the first day, he had no cultivation level, but by the second day, he had already cultivated Qi.

By the third day, he had already reached the Divine Realm, truly progressing through a new realm each day.

On the fourth day, the fifth day... Li Bairen's cultivation had surpassed that of Li Shuangyan.

He has an exceptionally high level of comprehension; he can learn anything at a glance and master it in no time.

When Patriarch Bodhi was preaching, Sun Wukong had just begun to understand, but he was already summarizing it.

The title of Lord of the Three Realms is well-deserved; even his mortal trials cannot conceal his talent.

"Uncle Chen Geng, you were looking for me?"

Li Bairen sat cross-legged in front of Chen Geng, his body faintly radiating an aura of fortune.

"Hmm, do you know what the true abilities of Patriarch Bodhi were?"

Chen Geng said to him, "The Thirty-Six Heavenly Divine Powers, each one of them points directly to the Great Dao."

"If you want to learn something truly valuable, you have to seek guidance from the masters."

"You're the one who wants to learn, aren't you?"

Li Bairen saw through Chen Geng's thoughts: "I will ask the patriarch tomorrow."

That's how it is when you chat with smart people; you don't need to say much, they already know what you want to ask.

Chen Geng watched and waited day after day, but he grew increasingly anxious.

It's too slow, it's just too slow.

As time went by, he had not even fully mastered a single supernatural power, while Patriarch Bodhi could leave with his temple at any moment.

He knew that once Sun Wukong mastered the skills, he would disband Fangcun Mountain, and all his efforts would be in vain.

He was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

But on this day, as usual, he was meditating on the back mountain when he suddenly felt someone coming in front of him. When he opened his eyes, he found it was Bodhi Patriarch.

He walked past Chen Geng with his hands behind his back, and a Bodhi seed fell to the ground.

Chen Geng immediately picked it up, then his heart skipped a beat!

Bodhi seeds grow on the Bodhi tree, one of the ten innate spiritual roots!

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but only saw the back of the Bodhi Patriarch, who was heading down the mountain path.

Bodhi seeds are believed to have a strong capacity for enlightenment; legend has it that Shakyamuni Buddha attained enlightenment under a Bodhi tree.

The moment he grasped the Bodhi seed, his mind became clear and insightful, and the great Dao of heaven and earth became clearly visible before his eyes.

This……

He took a deep breath, knowing that it was the Bodhi Patriarch's kind heart that made him bow to him from afar.

Rewind to the day before, Bodhi Patriarch looked at Chen Geng in the peach grove behind the mountain with a complex expression.

"Master, what are you looking at?" Yingli asked curiously as he served her carefully.

Bodhi sighed, "A child."

What He saw was not a demon prince, but a child who was born without love and destined to die young.

"If that child doesn't become a great immortal, he is destined to die young, and his life will be full of misfortunes and instability."
