The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Chapter 119: Discussing Fangcun Mountain

"Sixth Brother."

Lei Zhan bowed respectfully.

"Hahaha!" the monkey laughed heartily. "Get up! Get up! I, Old Sun, don't like this!"

"I've heard from Senior Brother Yin Yue and Jiang Jun that the Grandmaster has accepted two disciples in a row in recent years. Now it seems that Junior Brother is indeed not an ordinary person."

"Thank you for your kind words, senior brother." Lei Zhan smiled slightly and walked up the mountain along the rugged mountain road side by side with the monkey.

"Senior brother, did you just go to see the eldest brother?" Lei Zhan asked curiously.

The monkey was already a powerful being at the same level as the True God Daozu in ancient times, so it was not surprising that he could hide from his perception and suddenly appear behind him.

"I've just met the eldest brother." The monkey chuckled, "When I first became Master's disciple, the eldest brother showed me the way. Now that I'm back, of course I have to go see him."

"If I hadn't met the senior brother, I wouldn't have known that even the senior brother praised me highly."

"Brother, this..." Lei Zhan laughed, "All of you brothers are powerful beings who have achieved enlightenment since ancient times. If you praise me too much, I might become complacent!"

"Junior brother, you are just being modest. Come on, come on, after I pay my respects to the master, we brothers will have a good drink together!" Sun Wukong pulled Leizhan up the mountain.

Walking along the way, we soon arrived at the mountain gate.

There is a big stone next to the mountain gate, with five big characters on it - Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave!

"Junior brother, I will go to pay my respects to the master first. You have to wait for me!" After saying this, Sun Wukong turned around and walked towards the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain.

"Brother, just go!" Lei Zhan smiled slightly.

……

Palace of Immortals.

I saw a young man in black robe, a young man in white, and a tall figure in golden armor walking towards me from a distance.

"Master!"

"Uncle Master!"

"Uncle."

"Master!"

Along the way, many gods, demons, monsters, and humans looked over, and various names were heard.

In the open space outside the Palace of Immortals, a large number of humans, great demons, gods and monsters were looking at the three of them curiously.

"Brother, I do know Senior Uncle Jiang Jun and Senior Uncle Lei Zhan, but who is that person next to them? Why have I never seen him before?"

A disciple on the road looked at the golden-armored monkey figure with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"I haven't seen him either. Maybe he's a good friend of yours?"

"I can't sense his presence, but he can stand shoulder to shoulder with the two masters, so his strength should be quite strong."

"Hush!" A disciple who had been staying on the mountain for years had a slightly changed expression. He turned around and glared at the people who had come before him. "Shut up! This person is also a disciple of the ancestor, ranked sixth! This person is a powerful figure with a great reputation since ancient times!"

"Ranked sixth? Could it be..." Yi Fan Xu Shenmo suddenly thought of a possibility, with a hint of horror in his eyes, "Could it be that the Monkey King?"

"That's him! Master Wukong is the Demon King of Flower-Fruit Mountain, and he stays in the Flower-Fruit Mountain World all year round, so it's normal that you newcomers don't know him. You must remember this time!"

The disciples on the mountain lived together all year round, discussing the Dao together and exchanging information with each other quite frequently. The deeds of the Great Sage had long been circulated throughout the Three Realms, so they had naturally heard of them.

"It seems that Senior Brother has not been on the mountain for a long time, and some of the disciples on the mountain have become quite unfamiliar!" Jiang Jun turned around and smiled, "This means that Senior Brother should come back more often when he has time!"

"That's right. Ever since the ancient destruction war, I've been staying in my Flower-Fruit Mountain, and I'm getting a little bored. It just so happens that several of my fellow disciples are all here on the mountain. I'd like to come more often, drink and discuss Taoism with them, and even listen to the Grandmaster's teachings. It's such a joy."

"Exactly!" Jiang Jun said, "Master rarely preaches, and only preaches more after accepting a disciple. I've listened to the master's preaching over the past few times, and I feel that my understanding of the Water-walking Heavenly Dao has deepened a lot!"

"Water travels in the sky?" Sun Wukong shook his head.

"I, Old Sun, don't know anything about water! I don't know anything about water! If you ask me about the laws of fire, metal, or even earth, I can tell you everything. But when it comes to water, I'm probably not as good as you, Jiang Jun!"

He was indeed not very talented in the Water Path, and this had been the case since ancient times. However, after achieving Dao Ancestor status, he had become extremely proficient in both the Metal Path and the Earth Path.

"Sixth Senior Brother has actually realized so many Heavenly Daos?" Lei Zhan watched curiously from the side, but was amazed when he heard what he heard.

Generally, if one thoroughly comprehends one of the heavenly ways, one can become a Taoist ancestor. However, after hearing this, it turns out that Sun Wukong comprehended more than one heavenly way!
"Oh! I, Sun Wukong, must have made some progress from ancient times to the present." Sun Wukong waved his hands and looked far ahead.

Chatting along the way, the three of them had already passed through the crowd and arrived in front of the Fairy Palace.

"Senior Brother Yin Yue, I, Old Sun, have come with two of my junior brothers to have a drink with you!" Lei Zhan and Jiang Jun also looked over with a smile.

At the main entrance of the Palace of Immortals, there stood a handsome man in a white robe and holding a white feather fan. He was the Silver Moon God.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Silver Moon Celestial God waved his feather fan, also very happy. "Monkey, you came to drink with us brothers today. Did you bring enough Monkey Wine from Flower-Fruit Mountain this time?"

"Monkey wine? Of course! I've been collecting it for a thousand years, a total of 100,000 kilograms, enough for us to drink for ten days and a half!" Sun Wukong laughed heartily, "Come on, come on! Let's drink!"

……

On a flat cliff, the scenery is so beautiful that it looks like a fairyland on earth.

Leizhan, Yinyue, Sun Wukong, and Jiang Jun sat separately, with a huge table in front of them. Each table was filled with fine wine, spiritual fruits, and delicacies.

The most eye-catching among them is a fine wine that exudes a rich blend of heaven and earth energy and charming fruity aroma.

Silver Moon God sat cross-legged, holding a wine glass with a smile, "Junior Sister is in seclusion and can't leave, so only a few of us are here. Come, drink!"

"Drink, drink it all!" The monkey also laughed proudly, "I put a lot of peaches in this monkey wine this time. After the ancient destruction, I took advantage of the situation and harvested a few peaches from the Queen Mother of the West's peach tree. It's been hundreds of millions of years since some peaches began to grow, and I put them all in this wine!"

"Hmm? The peaches of the Queen Mother of the West?"

Both Silver Moon God and Jiang Jun had eaten the peaches in ancient times, so they naturally knew their taste. When they heard this, their eyes lit up.

"This is good stuff!" Jiang Jun smiled and turned to look at Lei Zhan, "But this monkey wine, little brother, please drink less."

"Yeah." Leizhan nodded. He had only taken a sip of the wine when he felt it instantly transform into a vast amount of heaven and earth energy.

If he hadn't dispersed it in time, drinking a few more sips might have directly raised his Qi flow cultivation to the perfection of Earth Immortal, and it would have been no fun if he had attracted a heavenly calamity.

A few people looked at the scenery, chatted casually and drank fine wine.

After drinking to his heart's content, Silver Moon Celestial God looked at the people around him and said with a smile, "Just drinking is too boring. Why don't we discuss the Dao?"

"Discussing the Dao?" Jiang Jun also smiled. "Junior Brother, I heard you went to the lower realms. I wonder if you got what you wanted?"

It was he who guided Leizhan to the lower world to the Evil Dragon River to absorb the essence of the weak water. Now that he is back, he naturally asked this question.

"Oh? Did you go to the lower world?" There was a hint of curiosity in Sun Wukong's eyes.

Silver Moon Celestial God also looked over. He knew that Junior Brother had descended to the mortal realm, but he wasn't sure why.

"Junior brother, I have almost swallowed up all the weak water source of the Evil Dragon River in the lower world. Naturally, this is what I wanted." Lei Zhan picked up the white jade wine glass with floral patterns in front of him and took a sip.

"Oh? Weak water? That's a type of true water! Junior brother is actually good at controlling water?"

Silver Moon Celestial God showed some interest. "Junior brother, are you willing to discuss the Dao with me? Junior brother's cultivation has reached the Return to Void stage, so I will create a trace of divine power to incarnate and test your ability to control True Water."

"With Senior Brother Yin Yue?" Lei Zhan's eyes were filled with surprise, but he still nodded and smiled, "Then I'll be grateful for your guidance, Senior Brother!"

Leizhan was also somewhat happy in his heart as he had made some progress in his magical power "Spiral River", but he was worried that he couldn't find an opponent to compete with.

The opportunity to enter the War Temple in the Water Palace had long been used up, and I thought I would have another chance only after leaving the Xieyue World.

Now, discussing Dao with the Silver Moon God was exactly what Lei Zhan wanted.

"Junior Brother, do you want to discuss Dao with Senior Brother Yin Yue?" Sun Wukong smiled and drank, praising him. "I heard that Junior Brother, although only at the Return to Void stage, has already comprehended several great Daos, even more remarkable than me when I was young. Now that I'm in the mood, I'd like to take a look at Junior Brother's demeanor!"

Wow.

Sun Wukong waved his hand, and several peaches with purple stripes suddenly appeared in his hand. "Of course, this discussion of the Dao must have a prize! These are the purple-striped peaches I obtained that are more potent and taste better than the peaches I put in the monkey wine. I'll use them as the prize for today's discussion."

"Purple-veined peaches?" Silver Moon Heavenly God smiled. "Junior brother is indeed worthy of being a True God and Dao Ancestor. He really has a lot of goodies! This is a big deal! This purple-veined peach is comparable to a Daluo Immortal Pill, and it can also help me comprehend the water and wood elements. Although it can't help me comprehend the way of heaven, it can still help me comprehend some of the great Dao."

"I'm a little jealous of the treasure that Sixth Senior Brother brought out! Senior Brother Yinyue and Junior Brother Leizhan, please come first. After you finish discussing it, let me have a taste of the peaches!"

Jiang Jun looked at the big peaches in Sun Wukong's hand and was also very envious.

He didn't care about the effect that was comparable to the Daluo Golden Elixir. He didn't practice the Eight-Nine Profound Art, and he didn't fight with others, so naturally he didn't care that much.

But what Jiang Jun valued most was its ability to help him comprehend the principles of water and wood. Even the taste of the peaches themselves was unforgettable to him.

You should know that the purple-striped peaches that make countless immortals and demons in the three realms linger are quite delicious.

"A purple-veined peach that's comparable to the Daluo Immortal Pill? It can even help one comprehend the great Dao?" Leizhan's eyes lit up. It went without saying that such a legendary treasure was extremely precious.

"Then, Senior Brother Yinyue, please give me some advice!"
