Let you conquer the world of low-level martial arts, what the hell is Journey to the West?

Chapter 55: The Changes and Flaws of the Disha Magical Power
When Patriarch Bodhi mentioned the name of Patriarch Wuliang, Zhang Tian's eyes were a little confused. He lowered his head and thought about all the characters that appeared in Journey to the West, and it seemed that this person had never appeared.

Which deity is this?

Just as he was about to look up and ask, he saw Patriarch Bodhi slowly closing his eyes. He didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. After a few breaths, those brothers who were trapped in chaos woke up from their perception, as if they were still a little unsatisfied.

See this.

Zhang Tian did not ask any further questions. After bidding farewell to Patriarch Bodhi, he followed many of his fellow brothers and left Sanxing Cave. As they walked, he and the monkey came to the back of the group.

Seeing that there was no one around, the monkey asked curiously, "My good junior brother, you have read many books and know the thirty-three layers of heaven and the eighteen layers of the underworld. Do you know who this Wuliang Patriarch is and how he can be called the Patriarch? Does he have real ability?"

Zhang Tian has indeed read a lot of books, at least tens of thousands of them. In ancient times, he would definitely be considered a well-read man with profound knowledge. Of course, this would not be considered a person of later times, otherwise a high school student who loves reading novels would be able to defeat him in seconds.

He frowned slightly, recalling the many books he had read and all the memories of his past and present lives, but still could not find any clues. He blamed his lack of knowledge, and for a moment he was unable to recognize a true immortal.

So Zhang Tian shook his head, "The books record some insights into Taoism, and are all scriptures collected by the master, such as Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Yin-Yang School, or medical books. They cover a wide range of things, but there don't seem to be many books about the gods..."

He didn't know why either.

Patriarch Bodhi seemed to intentionally avoid records related to gods and immortals. The only thing that was barely related to gods and immortals should be the Hundred Treasures Sutra that Zhang Tian found in the library last time.

The owner of the book was very arrogant and called himself the Taoist of Hundred Treasures. He was able to imitate all the magic weapons in the world and was even so proud of himself that he said that not even the Golden Immortal could hurt him. Although he might be exaggerating, he should be a god.

Zhang Tian was surprised.

Not only had he never heard of the name of Wuliang Patriarch, he seemed to have never even heard of this Baibao Taoist.

Who is it?
Just as he was pondering, the monkey scratched his head and then spoke, "I am from the Flower-Fruit Mountain in the Eastern Continent of the Gods. When I was seeking immortals and asking for advice in the Western Continent of the Gods, I spent some time in the human world and met some wandering Taoist priests who called themselves the Wuliang Tianzun."

"Could it be that the Wuliang Patriarch is the Wuliang Tianzun mentioned by those Taoists?"

Before the monkey could finish, Zhang Tian shook his head. After the monkey finished speaking, he began to explain:
"This Xiniu Hezhou is a holy place of Buddhism, and there are few Taoists. I don't know anything else. I only know that the Taoist sect mentioned in the book is called Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, not Wuliang Tianzun."

"That is, the source of blessings comes from the infinite Heavenly Lord. It is a word of blessing, not some infinite Heavenly Lord."

"As for whether the other party is a powerful person or has real abilities, it seems unlikely..."

In the world of Journey to the West.

There is no clear standard of strength between masters and novices, just like the monkeys in the future, anyone can fight for hundreds of rounds, no matter what kind of demon or god he is.

Not only him, but even the future Marshal Tianpeng and the former General Juanlian were like this. They would fight for dozens of rounds to defeat a small monster. Of course, it was not ruled out that they were both noobs.

But the difference between a strong man and one with great supernatural powers is extremely obvious. The monkey is considered the strongest among the strong.

Just like the Marshal Tianpeng who guards the Milky Way, he once had a dispute with the monkey Maluo over letting his horses graze, but he was still the Horse Keeper at that time. The monkey beat him into submission with just three punches and two kicks. At that time, he was still the Marshal Tianpeng before his reincarnation, so it can be seen that his strength was indeed extraordinary.

But when the monkey faces other people with great supernatural powers, he is basically unable to withstand them. The opponents either possess great supernatural powers, like Zhen Yuanzi, or possess extremely powerful magic weapons, like Maitreya Buddha.

Except for the Jade Emperor who never took action and it was difficult to assess the opponent's strength, almost all other great masters were like this. They either used their supernatural powers or magic weapons, and almost never entangled with others. They could defeat the enemy in one or two moves and killed them instantly. There was no such thing as dozens of rounds of close combat.

So in Zhang Tian's opinion, since the Wuliang Patriarch was invited by Bodhi Patriarch to teach him how to practice the Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts, he should be an expert in the physical body, not a person with great supernatural powers. Could it be... Erlang Shen or Nezha?
Or maybe... Wude Star Lord or Taibai Jinxing?
He was daydreaming, and then he heard the monkey curiously asking, "Good Junior Brother, I have been practicing this magical art for a month. I think I have figured it out. My transformations are so good that I can't tell the difference between the master and the real one. How come you can see through it at a glance?"

Zhang Tian laughed out loud.

The monkey's transformation skills were indeed amazing, but it must be said that the opponent had three fatal flaws, which caused him to suffer great losses later on.

One was when he was fighting with Erlang Shen, and he used the art of transformation, but he was unable to retract his tail, and could only transform into an upright flagpole. The opponent saw through his trick and almost had his front teeth poked out and his eyes smashed.

The second time was when she was saving Zhu Bajie, she transformed into someone's grandmother. In order to reassure Zhu Bajie, she deliberately revealed her flaws. When the monkey transformed into a human, except for the face, the monkey hair all over the body and the red butt could not be hidden.

The third flaw is even more fatal. The monkey cannot laugh when it changes into human form. If it laughs, it will immediately return to its original appearance. It was because of his laughter at Lion Camel Ridge that the monster saw through his transformation technique and put him into the Yin and Yang Qi Bottle, and he almost died.

And it is also the art of change.

Others like Erlang Shen, Bull Demon King and others did not have such defects. Zhang Tian did not understand it before, but after practicing the Eight-Nine Profound Art, he finally realized the reason.

"It's because you were born as a stone monkey and didn't have a human form. Other practitioners first cultivated a human form and then practiced this magical power. Naturally, they don't have these defects!"

Zhang Tian said solemnly, "If you don't cultivate into a human form, this defect will follow you for the rest of your life and you will never be able to change it."

He looked at the monkey's expression, which was clearly full of disbelief and dissatisfaction, but Zhang Tian was full of confidence. After all, even if the monkey set out on the journey to the west in the future, it would not be able to correct these defects even after hundreds of years.

He doesn't believe it!

In just a few years, the other party will be able to change! If the monkey can do it, he is willing to eat it.

After parting with the monkey and returning to his own mountain, Zhang Tian took stock of his gains for the day. With the guidance of Patriarch Bodhi, he had completely understood the questions about the Eight-Nine Profound Arts that had puzzled him for a long time. In addition to that, he had also gained nearly 160 years of Taoism practice.

This was the biggest gain he had ever made since he came to Fangcun Mountain. This surprised Zhang Tian so much that he quickly divided it into two parts and added them to his Tiangang Divine Power and Bajiu Xuan Gong.

He was immediately immersed in the mystery and couldn't extricate himself. He didn't know how long he was lost in the ethereal state, and he heard a call in his ears.

"Wu Jing! Come and see the Wuliang Patriarch quickly!"

It was the call from Bodhi Patriarch. Zhang Tian was pleasantly surprised. He looked up and saw Bodhi Patriarch standing on the clouds in the sky outside the window. Next to him stood a celestial being who was radiating golden light, had a handsome face and was extremely powerful. He was holding a gilded dragon stick in his hand, and he was obviously extraordinary.

Zhang Tian was shocked.

He bowed hastily, and just as he was about to say that he was so absorbed in his spiritual practice and enlightenment that he had forgotten the time, he saw Patriarch Bodhi doing somersaults in the clouds with joy, touching his face with both hands, and gazing up at the sky with comfort, as if intoxicated.

"what!"

"Finally got fooled!"

"Haha...hahaha!"
