"Fugui, how are you?"
At that moment, Zhang Fugui saw his father hurry into the room and approach him with a concerned expression. "I told you to cultivate diligently, but you never listened. A dignified Qi Induction Stage cultivator actually fell down? From now on, you must cultivate properly!"
"Yes! Father, I understand!"
Having awakened the "memories of his past life" and seen the "visions of the future," Zhang Fugui had completely come to his senses. I am the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, yet I lived so miserably in this life. How utterly humiliating!
"Eh?"
Father Zhang froze. Since when had this little bastard become so obedient? Could he have knocked his brains loose in that fall? Still... this was a good sign!
"It's good that you understand!"
Father Zhang nodded in satisfaction. "Get some rest. Once you've recovered, cultivate diligently from then on."
A moment later, Father Zhang left the room.
"I will cultivate diligently! I absolutely will not let that future repeat itself!"
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Fugui spread open his palm and looked at the Ruyi Jingu Bang, no bigger than an embroidery needle, resting in it. A faint smile appeared on his face. "Old friend, it's been many years."
"Bzz..."
The Ruyi Jingu Bang in his palm gave a soft tremor, as though responding to Zhang Fugui's words.
"The Golden Cudgel is still here, but... my Fighting Buddha golden body and my Great Sage Equal to Heaven true body are gone. Do I have to start everything over?"
Raising his eyes to the sky, Zhang Fugui clenched his fist. "So what if I start over? I'll cultivate the Eight-Nine Arcane Art again and cultivate the Victorious Fighting Buddha Vow Sutra again. I can cultivate my true body and golden body anew!"
