From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

“We passed through Baoxiang Kingdom. Our eldest brother killed the six-tusked white elephant that occupied the capital, but he also fell victim to its trick and was imprisoned in the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle… Our eldest brother said that only you can rescue him.” Hu Jue explained the situation succinctly and said firmly, “Come back with us.”

"Humph!"

Bajie has already solidified his foundation, clearly understood the Golden Elixir and the Sacred Embryo, and his mind is completely clear:

How could that monkey be trapped by that Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle?

It's clearly a test to temper the tempers of these two tigers!

"Don't joke with Old Pig."

"Is it possible that you two couldn't endure the hardships of the journey to the west and secretly fled eastward, hoping to seek refuge with me, Old Pig?"

In an instant.

Hu Yuan was furious.

Hu Jue was furious.

But the two suppressed their anger and asked fiercely, "What do you want in return for us?"

"Is this how you treat people when you hire them?"

Bajie yawned, "At least you should say 'please'."

"Please... come back with us."

Hu Yuan bared his teeth and let out a tiger's roar, but a line of words still popped out from between his sharp teeth.

"Too light."

"Old Pig's ears aren't as big as an elephant's, so he can't hear."

Pigsy, taking advantage of the situation, lifted a pig's hoof, picked his nose, and looked at Pigsy with a smug expression.

"Please come back with us!"

Hu Yuan roared.

“Since you two came together, you have to say it together, otherwise it won’t be sincere.” Seeing Hu Yuan’s eyes redden, Bajie said with a grin.

"you!"

Hu Jue stretched out his claws and cursed, "Do you want to fight?"

"If you want to fight with me, then I'll have Gu Yue Yuanjue come and invite you personally!" Pigsy put his hands on his hips and grinned.

The eldest brother is already trapped inside the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle, and he can't even lift the bottle. How can he come to invite him in person?

Hu Yuan and Hu Jue were furious, but they could only vent their anger for a moment. Fearing that it would delay the rescue of their senior brother, they had no choice but to swallow their anger, clear their chests and lungs, and bowed together, pleading, "Second Senior Brother, don't be angry! Our senior brother is really in trouble and needs your help. If we are late, his life may be in danger!"

"it is good!"

Hearing the two tigers call him "Second Brother," Pigsy finally smiled—although the two tigers called him that reluctantly, they did it nonetheless.

He can't afford to be so arrogant, or he'll really make an enemy of him...

Chapter 1446 The Five Elements Return to Their Positions to Refine Yin and Yang

Upon hearing that Pigsy was leaving, the people of the village hurriedly pleaded with him to stay: "Bodhisattva, if you leave, what will we do if monsters come again?"

Bajie said, “Fellow villagers, Mao Erzhuang is my home, so how could I leave and not return? As for the monsters... it’s better to rely on yourself than others. I have already taken a talented disciple as my apprentice and taught him my skills. If you want to learn kung fu, you can go to Fuling Mountain and practice with him.”

Seeing that Bajie was determined to leave, the people of Mao'er Village, though reluctant, knew that everyone has their own ambitions and dared not force him. They could only watch as Bajie, Hu Yuan, and Hu Jue rode the clouds together and flew westward.

This is exactly:

Metal follows wood to refine the body, and compassion cleanses the heart. With sincerity and determination, seek lasting salvation; the center is the gateway to enlightenment, where all is united.

To realize one's true nature, one must first understand its principles and then solidify them. When the Three Primal Elements open up heaven and earth, the work will be accomplished, and the Elixir Embryo will be formed.

The three of them rode the clouds and mist, and in less than half a day, they had already flown tens of thousands of miles back to the Kingdom of Baoxiang, where they saw the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle at the city gate.

"Senior Brother, I'm back!"

Pigsy, with his cheerful nature, laughed loudly, "How could you be so careless as to get trapped in this bottle, making yourself a laughingstock?"

"Stop joking, Pigsy, hurry and get me out of here."

The river flows silently.

"okay!"

Bajie, however, did not slack off. He raised his nine-toothed rake high and struck the bottle with all his might, but was bounced back. Even the rake teeth were broken, and his tiger's mouth was throbbing with pain. He was so shocked that he was dumbfounded. "Amazing! Amazing! This bottle is no less impressive than the Crouching Tiger Stone of Yellow Wind Ridge!"

"I didn't tell you to use brute force."

Inside the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle, Jiang Liu chuckled, but he didn't mince words, revealing the fundamental truth: "This bottle is connected to the four seasons and six energies of heaven and earth, and it cultivates Yin and Yang within. To break it open, one needs the assistance of the five elements."

I am the Mind Monkey, Bajing is the Will Horse, Bajie is the Wood Mother, Huyuan and Hujue are the Metal Duke, and Liangluzhen is the Yellow Woman. You five place your hands on the mouth of the bottle, so that the Will Horse, Wood Mother, Metal Duke, and Yellow Woman within your bodies and minds may return to my body and mind, and then I can leave.”

This was another purpose of Jiang Liu's.

Teach the Golden Lord, the Wooden Mother, the Will Horse, and the Yellow Woman to return to their primordial spirit.

This is a perfect opportunity to further refine the five internal organs and five vital energies of this divinely ordained human body using the yin and yang energies of the Yin-yang Two Qi Bottle, making the golden elixir of body and mind more and more perfect, so as to match the primordial spirit and cultivate a second solemn body in addition to the original body.

Without hesitation, Bajing transformed into human form and placed his hand on the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle first, followed by Bajie, then Huyuan and Hujue, and finally Liangluzhen.

The five people, led by Pigsy, used the incantation of the river flowing in the bottle to separate the mind, body, and spirit of the spirit, the wood mother, the golden father, and the yellow mother, and pour them into the bottle.

The five gods returned to their positions, the five elements rotated, and yin and yang merged, causing Jiang Liu's body, which was destined for greatness, to grow continuously in order to truly match Jiang Liu's primordial spirit.

Therefore, the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle is connected to the twenty-four qi of the primordial world. As long as the bottle is not destroyed, the Yin-Yang Two Qi will be inexhaustible, causing the body of the Heavenly Man to continuously transform into twelve zhang, level with the body of Jiang Liu.

Take this opportunity.

Jiang Liu then practiced the White Bone Contemplation.

However, he has already reached the stage of bone regeneration, and before his six senses are completely purified and perfected, he can forget about cultivating the radiant light of white bones... So-called cultivation is just taking this opportunity to nurture the remains left by the bone spirit, so that they can merge with the "Guanyin" in his primordial spirit.

In this way, he would be able to create a true avatar, and then give all the gods and Buddhas in the world, especially the Yellow-Eyebrowed Old Monster of Little Western Paradise, a big surprise.

Click!

Once the bone spirit's white bones and flesh had regenerated and completely merged with Guanyin within Jiang Liu's primordial spirit, Jiang Liu secretly sent Guanyin to the West. Then, he took out his Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel), blew a breath of immortal energy, and transformed it into a drill, which he used to drill into the bottom of the bottle.

This is precisely:

The monkey mind penetrates the Yin and Yang orifices, and only then can the twenty-four solar terms be fully understood!

The Yin-Yang Qi Bottle shattered, and Jiang Liu leaped out from it. His twelve-zhang-tall body instantly transformed into the Mandate of Heaven, thanking the five people.

"What a strange thing, Senior Brother! You actually thanked me, Old Pig?" Pigsy was incredulous, then patted his belly and laughed so hard he almost fell over.

To know.

On the previous journey to the West, even though he helped Wukong many times, he never received a single word of thanks.

"The practitioners are the same person, so there is no need for thanks."

Jiang Liu smiled faintly, "It's just that we are still in the process of cultivation, and our Dao fruits have not yet been perfected. However, we should put ourselves in each other's shoes, since our bodies and minds are different."

"Master!"

Just then.

Baihua Ai and Kuilang led the civil and military officials to the scene.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Unlike before, Baihua Ai is no longer the wife of a merchant. She has been elected as Empress by the civil and military officials of the court and the people of the country.

As the Empress's husband, Kui Lang was no longer a merchant but a prince.

"There's no need to address me like that, Master. Just call me as usual."

Upon hearing "Your Majesty," Baihua Ai became slightly reserved and quickly said, "My husband and I have prepared a banquet, and we would like to invite the six monks to come to the palace to celebrate."

"The capital is in dire need of reconstruction; how can we allow the people to suffer financial losses?"

Jiang Liu declined Bai Huaxiu's offer, saying, "Just prepare some simple food and dry biscuits for us, and we will continue westward."

"I hope Master Guyue knows that it is not that my husband and I are heartless, but the wine and food in the palace were all provided by the people of the city."

Kui Lang quickly added, "Master, these are all the people's good wishes."

"If that's the case—"

Seeing Liang Luzhen, Hu Yuan, and Hu Jue swallowing hard, Jiang Liu stopped insisting and said with a smile, "Then please lead the way, brother. We will certainly not let the people down."

Upon hearing this, Kui Lang, Bai Hua Ai, and the civil and military officials who followed them were overjoyed and escorted Jiang Liu and his entourage toward the palace.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

Baihua asked, "Master, would you all be willing to stay in Baoxiang Kingdom?"

"That won't work."

Jiang Liu shook his head, but he understood that Baihua's concern was simply that if another powerful demon attacked, the people in the city would be unable to resist.

So he painted out a picture of the inner workings of a fire, and also sketched mountains and rivers, creating a feng shui map, which he then gifted to Baihua Ai.

"This is?"

Upon receiving the picture, Baihua looked through it but couldn't understand its meaning.

"This country is called Baoxiang Kingdom, and this map is called the Baoxiang Kingdom Seal Map. It is both the basis for cultivation and a map. By reconstructing the Baoxiang Kingdom according to this map, one can connect with the energy of heaven and earth, making the Baoxiang Kingdom a world of its own."

Jiang Liu laughed and said, "Whether you are an immortal or a Buddha, or a demon, if you do not cultivate the nine orifices and do not circulate your energy, but only cultivate your magical power and learn magic, you will not be able to enter your kingdom."

Immediately, Baihua Ai, Kuilang, and all the civil and military officials in the court were overjoyed and rose to bow and thank Jiang Liu.

"Do not worship me. It is only because the demons are no longer causing trouble that you must pay more attention to cultivating your character in the future. If you enter into a heretical sect, you will be doomed forever!"

Jiang Liu's smile faded, and his tone became serious.

“We will definitely focus on our practice.”

Flowers love to make vows.

Kyulang also swore an oath.

The banquet then resumed and did not truly end until three days later.

Jiang Liu, along with Bajie, Bajing, Huyuan, Hujue, and Liangluzhen, did not linger. With the reluctance of the Baoxiang people, they bid farewell to Baihua'ai, Kuilang, and the eight laborers, turning their backs to the rising sun and heading west…
