Humans in the primordial world, inscribing the Way of Heaven!

Chapter 21 [Learn from Nature, and Be Equal to Heaven]

Dark clouds obscured the sun, banners covered the sky, and 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals arrived with twelve heavenly nets, completely sealing off the void surrounding Flower Fruit Mountain.

"You demon monkey, you refuse to surrender!"

Holding the pagoda, Li Jing stood before the army, exuding an imposing aura. He roared, "His Majesty has bestowed upon you the title of弼马温 (Bima Wen, a lowly official in charge of horses), yet you, you wicked monkey, are ungrateful and have rebelled against Heaven by letting your heavenly horse run wild! If you surrender today, I may speak well of you before the Jade Emperor! But if you are ungrateful and lead this wicked monkey from Flower Fruit Mountain to resist stubbornly, then you will only face certain death!"

Seeing that no one answered, Li Jing immediately sent the Giant Spirit God as the vanguard to enter the area of ​​Flower Fruit Mountain.

As its name suggests, the Giant Spirit God is most skilled in the Giant Spirit Technique. In the blink of an eye, its physical body became as tall as Flower Fruit Mountain. When the little demons on the mountain saw this, they were all terrified and hurriedly fled in all directions!
But Sun Wukong remained fearless, ordering his monkey followers to beat drums in celebration and having his two generals, Bengba and Erjiang, display the title "Great Sage Equal to Heaven" on Flower Fruit Mountain.

He laughed loudly, "That hairy god, go back and tell the Jade Emperor that I have extraordinary abilities, yet he doesn't employ my talents and instead makes me raise horses for him. This is truly outrageous!"

"Look at the title on my banner. If someone is promoted based on this title, I won't lift a finger!"

"But if the Jade Emperor doesn't do as I, Old Sun, wish, I will storm the Lingxiao Palace tomorrow and make sure he can't sit comfortably on his dragon bed!"

Before he finished speaking, Sun Wukong used the "Heaven and Earth Transformation" technique, making his figure even taller than the Giant Spirit God, and directly blasted the opponent away with two blows.

After listening to Xuan Yin recount Wu Zhiqi's many deeds, Sun Wukong knew that if the Heavenly Court wanted to bestow upon him the title of Great Sage Equaling Heaven, then the gods of the Heavenly Court had to first witness his supernatural powers.

Therefore, he immediately unleashed his full power, showing no mercy whatsoever.

"Nezha, go!"

Upon seeing this, Li Jing was greatly alarmed, knowing that among the gods present, perhaps only Nezha could contend with Sun Wukong with his magical weapons.

Nezha did not respond, but his movements were not slow at all. In the blink of an eye, he rode his Wind Fire Wheels to Sun Wukong.

In the blink of an eye, the two were locked in a fierce battle. Nezha, with his three heads and six arms, used various magical treasures such as the Universe Ring, the Hun Tian Ling, and the Demon-Slaying Sword to bombard Sun Wukong in turn, causing the void to tremble. Countless streams of fire fell from the sky into Flower Fruit Mountain.

Sun Wukong was fearless. He split his golden cudgel into countless forms, which, combined with the monkey hairs that transformed into his own, allowed him to outnumber Nezha and catch him completely off guard.

After several dozen rounds, Nezha was defeated and retreated, while Sun Wukong's arrogance grew even stronger.

Seeing this, Li Jing's expression grew even more grim, and he immediately ordered the Four Heavenly Kings, the Nine Luminaries, the Twenty-Eight Constellations, and other celestial deities to take action.

In addition, he also ordered the Twelve Earthly Branches, the Six Ding and Six Jia, to lead heavenly soldiers in a fierce attack on Flower Fruit Mountain, hoping to make Sun Wukong hesitate to act against him.

This time, without the help of the Bull Demon King and others, if Sun Wukong were to rely solely on himself, even if he could win, the entire Flower Fruit Mountain would surely suffer heavy losses.

"It's my turn!"

Xuan Yin did not hesitate. Having decided to get involved himself, he naturally wouldn't choose to stand by and watch. Under his command, the earth vein power of the Ten Continents and Three Islands instantly transformed into barriers that shot into the sky.

Boom!

The methods of the Twelve Yuan Chen and others were like mud oxen entering the sea when they hit the great formation. However, since the great formation set up by Xuan Yin was connected to the earth veins, their methods were indeed hitting the earth veins.

"wrong!"

"Stop!"

Li Jing immediately realized something was wrong. If the formation at Huaguo Mountain continued to be bombarded, it would cause problems with the earth veins of the entire Dongsheng Divine Continent. The backlash from the earth veins would definitely affect the fortune of the Heavenly Court.

The gain outweighs the loss!
Li Jing is now in a dilemma. If he retreats, it will damage the dignity of the Heavenly Court. However, if he continues to attack Huaguo Mountain, they will not be able to break through its great formation.

Although he was the Heavenly King of Heaven, his other two sons were in the Buddhist order, so they were naturally aware of the Buddhist sect's plans against Sun Wukong.

But now, with Flower Fruit Mountain shrouded in a great formation, Sun Wukong is like a rock in a latrine—stinky and hard, making it really difficult to attack him!
"The secrets of heaven have changed!" The moment the great formation appeared, the Jade Emperor, Buddha, Guanyin, and other powerful beings who were paying close attention to Sun Wukong were all filled with shock and disbelief.

"Who changed Sun Wukong's fate?"

The Buddha sat serenely on the lotus throne, his countenance solemn and dignified, yet his face still bore an expression of disbelief.

As one of the strongest beings in this world, he could sense the existence of destiny, and he also knew that Sun Wukong was the one destined to go on the pilgrimage to the West.

Even the Jade Emperor frowned.

If the Heavenly Court truly wanted to subdue Sun Wukong, it would only need to send a few truly powerful deities.

But that was only under the premise that Sun Wukong did not have this kind of "moral blackmail" method. Now even he is somewhat hesitant to act rashly.

"Ha ha!"

Seeing that Flower Fruit Mountain was protected, Sun Wukong had no more worries and became stronger and stronger in battle, suppressing many gods and immortals of the Heavenly Court with his own strength.

Logically speaking, this is impossible. Although Sun Wukong is powerful, these immortals and gods are also among the best in this world.

"Blessed by Heaven!"

Those immortals and gods couldn't understand it, but Xuan Yin could see it clearly. At the same level, Sun Wukong could manipulate more of the power of heaven and earth than him.

When the time is right, heaven and earth lend their strength. As the chosen one, as Sun Wukong's own will grows stronger, he can mobilize more and more of the power of heaven and earth.

In some situations, they can even fight beyond their level and break through the barriers between realms.

It should be understood that each realm is a different world. The reason why the Buddha was able to suppress Sun Wukong was because his own realm was far superior to Sun Wukong's.

In the Primordial True Realm, without innate spiritual treasures, it is impossible to fight beyond one's level by relying solely on oneself. Although there are some differences between the rules of this realm and the Primordial True Realm, they are still very similar in general.

"No, Sun Wukong's current state should be one of learning from nature and attaining the same level as Heaven!"

Seeing Sun Wukong's appearance, a glint of light flashed in Xuan Yin's eyes, and boundless power of heaven and earth appeared around him.

He previously thought that his Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit was completely perfect, but now it seems that it can only be considered perfect under the Heavenly Dao!

What is the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?

It's not a title, but a practice, a way to reach a point where one's own path is on par with the heavens, and the primordial energy of heaven and earth becomes the subject of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

Suddenly, Xuan Yin had a flash of inspiration, and some plans for this world flashed through his mind.

Huaguo Mountain is the source of the three islands and the ancestral vein of the ten continents. Doesn't it correspond to the three jiaos of the human body and the ten organs connected to the three jiaos?
There's also Fangcun Mountain, Lingtai Fangcun. Literally, isn't it just the character for "heart"?

Xuan Yin suddenly realized: "The eighty-one tribulations are not actually tests, but methods of cultivation! The restless mind and wandering will are one thing, but the eighty-one tribulations are precisely the timing and intensity of cultivation! The fire in the Eight Trigrams Furnace and the fire of the Flaming Mountain are both Samadhi True Fires that can temper the primordial spirit!"

"The tests of love in the Women's Kingdom correspond to the state of constant responsiveness and tranquility, don't they?"

"The golden headband is a method to subdue the mind. The story of the true and false Monkey Kings is about subduing their minds, and the journey to the West to obtain the scriptures is a process of realizing one's true nature!"

"Man follows the Earth, Earth follows Heaven, Heaven follows the Dao, and the Dao follows Nature. Everything in this world is actually the core cultivation method of the Taiqing lineage!"

Upon realizing all this, Xuan Yin immediately discovered that the shackles that had bound him to the Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit had vanished without a trace!
As the Bodhi Patriarch said, there is more than one opportunity in this world. Now it seems that this world is the greatest opportunity for spiritual practice!

The inheritances of the Four Chaotic Monkeys and the Chaotic Demon Ape can only be considered minor opportunities!
