My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

And that was it. In the original story, the Spiritual Stone Monkey was born and worshipped Heaven, Earth, and the four directions. His eyes shone with golden light, shooting towards the Dipper.

There are none now.

However, it possesses an inexhaustible and fierce aura, sweeping across the entire Flower Fruit Mountain with a spirit of fighting against heaven and earth and never admitting defeat.

The monkey was no more than five feet tall, but it seemed to be nourished by some mysterious energy, growing rapidly with the wind, reaching ten feet, then thirty, then ten feet...

The Buddhist monk, Yin Tou Jie Di, was greatly alarmed, not knowing why he had already used his magic to set up a barrier and drive away the spiritual energy of Flower Fruit Mountain.

The innate stone monkey could not absorb spiritual energy to nourish itself and could only eat wild fruits to fill its stomach. The acquired things polluted its aura, causing its innate nature to turn into an acquired one.

How can this stone monkey grow so rapidly after it is born?

Zhao Xuan sensed the surprise of the silver-headed Jiedi and scoffed.

The act of worshipping heaven, earth, and the four directions sounds nice, but it's merely a sign of weakness caused by a lack of spiritual nourishment.

Walking with a staggering gait, isn't that just like bowing to heaven, earth, and all directions?

In the primordial world, the cultivation of Qi is the primary practice. A weak body cannot withstand the powerful Qi and will dissipate.

Isn't that exactly what it means to have eyes that gleam with golden light, shooting straight towards the heavens?

Now that I have my own power, I will absolutely not let the Spirit Stone Monkey lose its innate energy.

When the Spiritual Stone Monkey grew to ten zhang (approximately 33 meters), the Silver-Headed Jiedi completely lost his ability to think and hurriedly sent the Guardian Jialan back to the Western Paradise for help.

Zhao Xuan wasn't in a hurry. He opened a void passage to let spiritual energy enter the Spirit Stone Monkey's body while helping the Spirit Stone Monkey filter and synthesize the two energies of Gang and Sha to help it stabilize its foundation.

The Spiritual Stone Monkey, a divine being of heaven and earth, was born with the body of a celestial being and possessed all the abilities of a human.

As long as one absorbs enough spiritual energy after birth, one can achieve immortality.

However, without sufficient spiritual energy, all the orifices will close, requiring gradual cultivation.

In the primordial world, the Earthly Fiend and Heavenly Divine Realms are for absorbing fiendish energy and divine energy to open up stable acupoints.

The aura of malevolent energy is also divided into different levels.

Among the fifteen Golden Immortal-level divine abilities passed down through the Fruition of Immortal status, two are used to condense Qi and Evil.

They are the Nine Heavens Divine Generals and the Nine Netherworld Earthly Fiends.

Once you cultivate both Qi, the entire world becomes your domain, allowing you to refine any spiritual energy in the world for cultivation, rather than being limited to refining only one type of spiritual energy.

They usually begin their cultivation after reaching the Golden Immortal level.

But who is Zhao Xuan? He directly fused the two energies together, using them as the foundation for the spiritual stone monkey's cultivation.

Silver-Headed Jiedi was so anxious he was practically sweating, but he didn't dare to intervene.

As the one destined for tribulation, the Spiritual Stone Monkey will be subject to tribulation for anyone who obstructs his cultivation.

Although the level of the Journey to the West Calamity is not high, it is relative to calamities like the Dragon-Han Initial Calamity and the Witch-Demon Calamity, which even quasi-saints would perish.

Although the level of the Journey to the West tribulation is not high, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal can perish in the tribulation if he is not careful.

Therefore, those who dare to stop the Spiritual Stone Monkey from cultivating are either Great Luo Golden Immortals or people with attained fruition.

Unfortunately, neither of them were the Silver-Headed Jiedi.

When Guanyin Bodhisattva arrived at Flower Fruit Mountain under the guidance of the Buddha.

The Lingming Stone Monkey's cultivation at the Immortal Realm had completely stabilized. In addition to stabilizing its hundred apertures, the Nine Heavens Divine Qi and the Nine Nether Earthly Fiends had transformed into a golden armor that covered the Lingming Stone Monkey's body.

In addition, there was a golden dragon-shaped staff held in the hand of the Spiritual Stone Monkey, and his golden-red cloak, though shimmering with spiritual energy, looked quite majestic.

These are also the supernatural powers recorded in the Fifteen Supernatural Powers: Qilin Divine Crown, Xuanwu Divine Armor, Phoenix Nirvana Cloak, Azure Dragon Escape Boots, and White Tiger God-Slaying Staff.

Subhuti taught Sun Wukong his skills, and the divine weapons and armor given to Sun Wukong by the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas were things he would have already possessed.

Giving them to you is to make you forget that you already have these things.

Supernatural powers are more flexible than magical treasures, and their potential for growth far surpasses that of magical treasures.

The spiritual treasures of the human and immortal realms are crafted based on supernatural powers.

Although the magical treasures in the primordial world form their own system, it is extremely difficult to advance without a great opportunity.

However, those with supernatural powers have a complete promotion path.

Moreover, supernatural powers are one's own, while spiritual treasures are external objects.

We should not overlook the power of supernatural abilities just because of the temporary strength of the magical treasure.

Of course, if supernatural powers and spiritual treasures are combined, that's another matter.

Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at the majestic and awe-inspiring stone monkey, and a hint of anger appeared on her face.

In order to control the intensity of the great calamity as much as possible, the Xuanmen and Buddhist sects tried every means to weaken the strength of those who were to face the calamity.

The reason why Jin Chanzi was reincarnated as Tang Xuanzang nine times is because Jin Chanzi's original form was the six-winged golden cicada, one of the four great ferocious insects of the primordial world. If he did not use reincarnation to wear down his ferocity, the calamity would bring disaster to all living beings.

Zhu Ganglie has the bloodline of a human emperor, and after embarking on cultivation, he will progress by leaps and bounds. With the blessing of calamity energy, he is on track to become a quasi-saint.

Therefore, the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir destroys one's foundation. Although the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir can lead one directly to the Great Luo Realm after consumption, once the foundation is destroyed, it becomes difficult to improve one's cultivation.

Sha Wujing is a human-shaman with the blood of the shaman clan, so he needs to suffer the pain of being pierced by a hundred swords every seven days in order to expel the turbid energy from his body.

Ao Lie possessed the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon, so the karma of the Dragon Clan was used to suppress his bloodline, making it difficult for him to cultivate the body of the Ancestral Dragon.

Leaving aside these four individuals, the Spiritual Stone Monkey is a holy spirit of heaven and earth, possessing the merit of mending the heavens, making it difficult for ordinary methods to be effective.

Therefore, the Buddhist sect personally intervened to isolate him from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at birth, causing him to lose his innate vital energy and return to the acquired state. They also devised many schemes to make him forget his own lineage.

Unexpectedly, the first step failed.

The educational merits of the intelligent stone monkey also brought in a large sum of money.

However, now that the Spiritual Stone Monkey has awakened its innate talent, how should this great merit be accounted for?

The seventy percent of the power of virtue that Buddhism promised to Xuanmen included the teachings and merits of the Spiritual Stone Monkey.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and his aura spread out uncontrollably. Under the terrifying aura, the Spirit Stone Monkey seemed to sense something, opened its tightly closed eyes, and two golden beams of light looked towards the place where it was.

Guanyin Bodhisattva was startled. She concealed her aura and released streams of magical power, enveloping herself, the Silver-Headed Jiedi, and the Dharma Protectors, thus escaping the detection of Guanyin Bodhisattva's Fiery Eyes.

Then, with a heavy heart, she plucked a few leaves from the willow branch stuck in the jade bottle in her hand and silently flew them toward the Spirit Stone Monkey, sealing all its orifices.

The Spirit Stone Monkey trembled and slowly shrank, transforming into a five-foot-tall golden-haired macaque lying on the ground.

He instructed the Silver-Headed Guardian to continue monitoring the situation of the Spiritual Stone Monkey, while he himself flew to Mount Ling to discuss matters with the Buddha.

Zhao Xuan hid deep within the space, watching Guanyin Bodhisattva depart.

He just chuckled twice.

A jade bottle identical to the one held by Guanyin appeared in his hand, with the same willow branch inserted inside.

“Seal, you also need to seal it, Master.” Zhao Xuan looked at the jade bottle in his hand and laughed.

Under the laws of mythology, mythical figures and mythical objects will only serve as nourishment for its growth.

Guanyin Bodhisattva sealed the hundred orifices of the Spiritual Stone Monkey with willow leaves, which was equivalent to showing the Dharma principles of the Jade Bottle to Zhao Xuan.

It then became the resources for Zhao Xuan's advancement in the Mythical Law.

The laws of mythology have grown even more.

Five points were due to the image of the Spiritual Stone Monkey beginning to resemble the mythical Sun Wukong in his mind, and the other five points were due to Guanyin.

After receiving the Jade Purification Bottle, Zhao Xuan simply controlled the spiritual energy to strengthen the physical body of the Spirit Stone Monkey and did not do anything further.

After all, Sun Wukong is a spiritual stone monkey, but a spiritual stone monkey is not necessarily Sun Wukong. Only after being educated and having the heart to subdue demons and uphold justice can one become the Sun Wukong in one's own heart.

The Lingming Stone Monkey is now just the Lingming Stone Monkey.

He created a clone that hid inside the Spirit Stone Monkey's body to help strengthen its physical form.

Its true form appeared silently in the East China Sea.

They then quietly arrived next to the Zhenhai Divine Iron.

With a flash, the green bamboo staff in his hand split into two, and then one half became something similar to the Zhenhai Divine Iron, which then merged into the Zhenhai Divine Iron.

The green bamboo staff had been with Zhao Xuan ever since he began his cultivation, but unfortunately, the divine weapon had no use for it.

However, whenever Zhao Xuan achieved results in his cultivation, the first to benefit was always the Green Bamboo Staff.

Even today, that green bamboo staff is also made of primordial and yellow matter, containing twenty-four small worlds within it.

With a wave of its hand, it possesses boundless power, and with twenty-four solar terms, its might is inexhaustible.

Confiscating it is like being hit; even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would be injured if he touched it.

Even the twenty-four heavens created by Dipankara Buddha, one of the three great Buddhas of Buddhism, with his measuring ruler and twenty sea-stabilizing pearls, might not be as heavy as the green bamboo staff.

When he left the Human Immortal Realm, due to the power of the Mythical Great Luo Golden Immortal Law, although he only managed to evolve it to 70% with the help of the gods, Zhao Xuan had already far surpassed the Void and the Starry Sky.

He was already equivalent to a quasi-saint in the primordial world, and a quasi-saint who had severed his three corpses.

Once the mythical Great Luo Golden Immortal completes its transformation according to the laws, it becomes the master of the Great Dao Laws, comparable to a Heavenly Dao Saint.

It's normal for such a being to have personal items that reach the level of innate top-grade spiritual treasures.

The fusion of the green bamboo staff and the Zhenhai Divine Iron went very smoothly.

It was less a fusion and more a devouring; the Green Bamboo Staff devoured the Sea-Suppressing Divine Treasure.

After all, Zhao Xuan had already comprehended all the power of the Eight Trigrams Furnace through the interaction of their energies, and could even materialize the Eight Trigrams Furnace and all the items it had ever refined.

The Zhenhai Divine Treasure itself was refined in the Bagua Furnace and lent by the Taiqing Daoist to Yu the Great for measuring rivers and lakes. Therefore, after Zhao Xuan transformed the Green Bamboo Staff into the Zhenhai Divine Treasure, the Zhenhai Divine Treasure sensed the same aura and was automatically devoured by the Zhenhai Divine Treasure transformed from the Green Bamboo Staff.

The green bamboo staff transformed into a new divine treasure for suppressing the East Sea.

The new Zhenhai Divine Treasure is not an acquired merit treasure, but rather a supreme acquired merit treasure, comparable to the Xuanhuang Measuring Ruler.

However, of the two great acquired treasures of the primordial world, the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda and the Xuanhuang Measuring Ruler, only the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda has been known to be the incarnation of the Taiqing Daoist.

However, no news of the Xuanhuang Measuring Ruler has emerged.

The material of such a magical treasure is only one aspect; what is more important is the merit contained within it.

The saying that "merit and spiritual treasures do not incur karmic consequences for killing" does not mean that one is truly immune to karma, but rather that merit is a product of the Great Dao, and using it to kill is equivalent to enforcing the law on behalf of Heaven.

Having the Merit Treasure is equivalent to having a formal position, and one is following the righteous path of heaven and earth.

Other magical treasures are equivalent to controlled knives.

Although the Green Bamboo Staff is powerful, it is not from the primordial world, and using it to kill people would be tantamount to a terrorist attack.

A person who kills with a bamboo staff is a terrorist.

It's likely that the entire prehistoric world will be engulfed in a counter-terrorism operation.

Therefore, if Zhao Xuan wanted the Green Bamboo Staff to work, he had to fuse it with the merit treasures of the Primordial World.

Merit-based spiritual treasures are extremely rare in the primordial world, and currently only the Zhenhai Divine Treasure is ownerless.

The Green Bamboo Staff does not need the Sea-Suppressing Treasure itself, but rather the merit contained within it.

With the merit within the Zhenhai Divine Treasure as a catalyst, Zhao Xuan can transform the merit, upgrading its grade as a merit-based spiritual treasure.

Once the new Zhenhai Divine Treasure was upgraded, Zhao Xuan left it in place and quietly waited for Sun Wukong to come and retrieve it.

As for the original body, it went to the Western Sea and merged the other half of the Green Bamboo Staff into the Sea-Suppressing Divine Iron of the Western Sea.

Although both are called the Divine Iron of the Sea-Suppressing Mountains, their origins are different.

The one in the East Sea was forged by Laozi from the divine iron used to determine the bottom of the Milky Way. Yu the Great borrowed it to measure the depth of rivers, lakes and seas. Later, Yu the Great was credited with controlling the floods, and his merits were bestowed upon it, transforming it into a divine object to suppress the floods.

Originally nameless, it can be directly called the material Tianhe Dingdi Shenzhen Iron, or it can be called the Lingyang Rod taken by Yu the Great.

But divine objects possess spirits; they have the merit of assisting Yu the Great in controlling the floods and the merit of suppressing the water disasters of the East China Sea, thus they are already spiritually connected.

After Sun Wukong obtained it, it transformed into the Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel), which became his protective magic weapon.

The Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) is not a name given to it by anyone, but rather a divine object manifesting itself.

The one in the Western Sea was crafted by the Buddha, and the material was the Heavenly River Bottom-Fixing Divine Iron taken from the bottom of the Heavenly River.

He only became aware of the Monkey King's spirit body because he was afraid that the Monkey King would not obey him.

However, after the Journey to the West ended, the Victorious Fighting Buddha returned to his position as a protector of Buddhism, so the stronger the better.

They borrowed the Six-Eared Macaque, a creature of the same origin, to help the Monkey King complete his spiritual body.

Therefore, the "True and False Monkey Kings" tribulation is one of the eighty-one tribulations.

Therefore, the Buddha forged a similar Heavenly River Bottom-Fixing Divine Iron and placed it in the Western Sea to suppress the Western Sea's floods, thus enhancing its quality through the merit of suppressing the sea.

This is the same iron rod used by the Six-Eared Macaque later on.

One is "as you wish," and the other is "as you please," but they actually mean the same thing.

Zhao Xuan planned to turn the real and fake Monkey Kings into an epic calamity, using the battle between the two divine apes to drag the Three Realms into disaster, so he first upgraded their weapons.

Let's see if, according to the plot, the Six-Eared Macaque's blow to Tang Xuanzang could kill him outright.

Next, of course, comes the epic upgrade to the Six-Eared Macaque.

Zhao Xuan began searching for the location of the Six-Eared Macaque.

Zhao Xuan guessed that even according to the conspiracy theory of Journey to the West, the Six-Eared Macaque is still free.

After all, the Six-Eared Macaque was the earliest born among the Four Mischievous Apes, and of course, the least promising.

The Four Mischievous Apes possess innate talents and should not seek external methods.

For example, Wuzhiqi, the red-bottomed macaque, and Yuan Hong, the long-armed ape, both cultivated their own lineages and were once prominent figures.

However, as the first six-eared macaque to be born, he became self-pitying and neglected his cultivation simply because the Dao Ancestor said that the Dharma would not be passed on to six ears.

Even after two tribulations, he was still only on par with Sun Wukong, who had lived for a thousand years.
