Chapter 209

As soon as he finished speaking, a bluish-purple flame suddenly rose, Kama appeared on the other side of the Bodhi Tree.

"In the Eastern Continent of Divine Victory, there is a country called Aolai. Within Aolai, there is a naturally formed spiritual stone..."

Hebe began to tell the story of another monkey with a touch of nostalgia.

Kama was initially reluctant, but as Hebe narrated, she became engrossed in the story.

As for Hanuman, who was also a monkey, he was so excited that he scratched his head and cheeks.

When Hanuman heard that Sun Wukong had become a disciple, his face lit up with joy, as if he had thought of his own situation; when he heard that Sun Wukong had been expelled from the school, Hanuman's face turned sad, and he kept glancing pitifully at Hebe, as if he was afraid that he would also be expelled.

When Sun Wukong had ventured deep into the East Sea to borrow weapons and armor, Hanuman eyes darted around, as if he were thinking of the Purification Knights of the Righteousness.

Upon hearing that Sun Wukong had been summoned to the underworld, yet had casually altered the Book of Life and Death beyond recognition, Hanuman couldn't help but clap and cheer.

When Hanuman heard that Sun Wukong had single-handedly fought against 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, defeating all the celestial beings, spirit officials of the four directions, and heavenly generals, he was dumbfounded. He had never imagined that there could be such a strong, powerful, and domineering monkey in the world.

Upon hearing that Sun Wukong had been captured, wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and was then suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain, Hanuman gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, wishing he could immediately leap to the foot of the Five Fingers Mountain and rescue the Great Sage from there.

However, Hebe abruptly changed the subject and stopped talking.

"Hey, what's next?" Kama asked, looking lost.

Hebe winked at her discreetly, indicating that she would tell her secretly later.

Hanuman reacted more strongly, pleading, "Master, what happened next? What happened next? Did the Great Sage escape from the foot of the mountain? Did he once again storm the Heavenly Court and cause the Heavenly Emperor to fall from his throne? Please have mercy and tell me what happened next!"

Hebe laughed heartily, "You little monkey! You think I'm telling you a story?"

Hanuman was stunned. He looked closely at the slightly nostalgic smile on Hebe's face.

"Could it be...?"

His heart pounded with excitement.

"The Patriarch recounted each and every event in such detail that it would have been impossible for him to do so without witnessing them firsthand. Moreover, some details were clearly deliberately omitted by the Patriarch... That Great Sage also visited a certain 'Patriarch' and, like me, was tested for many years..."

"Could it be that I am now a disciple of the same patriarch as the Great Sage?! Heavens, this, this, this...!"

Deep down, Hanuman harbored an even more chilling suspicion.

—Could I be the reincarnation of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?

But he had no evidence and was afraid of offending the patriarch, so he didn't even dare to think about it carefully.

"Alright, I've told you the story of this Great Sage. It's just for your reference, or for you to learn from it." Hebe looked at Hanuman.

Hebe did not intend to give Hanuman many options.

After all, whether it's the Beast's Destiny the Remnant Wolf or the Sword Saint system of the Higashi.

While they have their merits, they are still not as good as the most orthodox Path of Ascension.

Back in the Higashi, Hebe had previously used the "Path of Ascension" as a cover for the "Heart Sutra." Later, in Atlantis, he successfully ascended his achievements to the level of "Golden Truth Leviathan."

In this world, no one understands the Path of Ascension better Hebe.

Since there are already excellent examples to follow, why go astray?

If the Path of Ascension is the Way, then Hebe will teach Hanuman next is the "Art".

Hebe tossed the White Deer Staff, which resembled a whisk, in his hand and spoke with an air of nonchalance, "I once possessed 3,650 Wild Arts. After fully mastering them, I simplified and innovated upon them, resulting in 108..."

"This disciple wishes to emulate the Great Sage and learn the Earthly Fiend Transformations..."

Before Hanuman could finish speaking, Hebe struck him on the forehead with a wooden stick.

"You have already subtly learned some of the Great Sage's Earthly Fiend Transformations while you were farming for the villagers!"

As Hebe brought down his stick, Hanuman immediately pictured himself carrying water, with clear water gushing from the bucket and irrigating the entire field.

Or perhaps it's the image of him walking across the water as if it were flat ground, completely unaware, while rushing to drive away wild boars early in the morning.

Every single thing he learned was a marvel he had subtly mastered through his work.

"So-called supernatural powers and transformations are originally from one's nature. The more you pursue supernatural powers, the less likely you are to comprehend them during cultivation," Hebe said. "Only by grasping this 'aloof' mindset can you achieve something."

"As for what I am going to teach you today, it is not the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Transformations like those of the Great Sage."

"I will only teach you three things." Hebe smiled mysteriously.

"Ah?" Hanuman couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Fine, three it is then. After all, I'm still far from being as good as that Great Sage.

"Master, may I ask about these three supernatural powers...?"

But then Hebe raised the White Deer Staff in his hand and gently placed it on Hanuman's head.

Suddenly, three sharp, clear buzzing sounds came from all directions.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

"This first feature is called 'Unlimited Stamina'," Hebe said. "With this unlimited stamina, you can try to do all sorts of incredible and illogical things."

If you have a sword in your hand, you can draw it and sheath it in an instant. By doing this rapidly, you can unleash hundreds or thousands of strikes in a flash, leaving your enemy utterly mutilated.

"This second function is called 'teleportation'," Hebe added. "With this teleportation, you can go anywhere in the world, whether it's the Forest of Asceticism or the palace of the Kshatriya, you can come and go freely."

However, be aware that if you offend the immortals, this teleportation won't protect you from their curses.

"The third function is incredible; it's called 'Damage Multiplier'!" Hebe said. "With this damage multiplier, you can dig a mountain out of a single finger, or punch with all your might without killing an ant. Its application is entirely up to you."

"Today I bestow these three functions upon you, and I hope you will practice them diligently and make good use of them."

Hanuman was so engrossed in listening that his head was spinning.

He knelt on the ground without thinking, "Master, if I cause trouble in the future..."

"Are you so quick to assume you've gotten yourself into trouble?" Hebe chuckled. "Besides, how can you be sure that what you did back then was definitely a disaster? Fine. If you do indeed commit a terrible crime by then, then call my name."

"Remember, your lineage is Bodhi Patriarch Bodhi from Spiritual Terrace, Square Inch Mountain, Slanting Moon, Three Stars Cave."

"No one under heaven can make you bow down!"

Hanuman lowered his head and clenched his fists, but in the end he said nothing and simply kowtowed heavily on the ground.

"Thank you, Master."

When he looked up, a slightly troubled expression appeared on his face.

"What's wrong?" Hebe asked.

"Master, you summoned me too quickly. I had promised the village chief that I would help them set up the venue."

"That's true." Hebe nodded slightly and reached out to tap Hanuman's forehead.

In an instant, the situation changed dramatically, and Hanuman found himself in the village.

Looking at the sky, it was exactly the same as before I went in.

Hebe escorted Hanuman out of Fangcun Mountain, then turned and waved to Kama.

"World Honored One, what's wrong?" Kama blinked.

"What do you mean 'what's wrong'?" Hebe laughed. "You don't think I would show favoritism, do you?"

"You choose three supernatural powers, and I'll bless them for you."

279 Sigh, anime kids

Just as immortals can bestow blessings upon others.

As a programming enthusiast, Hebe also developed a complete set of modifiers based on the Bharata operating environment.

Of course, this modifier itself was written on the independent server of Fangcun Mountain.

However, the computing power required for it to take effect was still stolen by Hebe from the Snow Mountain Pure Land.

Hebe is not generous enough to share its computing power.

Not to mention the possibility of being tracked by malicious individuals, the delay in the images spied on through the Great Radiant Light alone is something Hebe cannot tolerate.

But then again...

Hebe flicked her fingers, her eyes darting around.

There is no such thing as a free lunch without a reason. Her "disciples," whether Hanuman or Rama who was reincarnated as Sita, would ultimately have to fight their way into the quagmire of Bharata.

The stronger the blessing, the more complex the predicament they will face.

Hanuman was somewhat better off; after all, he was a descendant of the monkey tribe of the wilderness, and there was no way he could establish a dynasty in Bharata.

So Hebe promised him a way out.

But Rama cannot escape unscathed; Hebe will bestow upon her the most powerful blessing, and she will fight the toughest battle for Hebe in this mortal world.

Just like so many times before, Hebe once again put the chips on the table.

So she was also waiting for Kama's choice.

Those deep green eyes silently fell upon the Heavenly Demon.

Hebe heard Kama say to himself.

"World Honored One, I do not envy any kind of blessing, but if I am truly fortunate, I hope..."

Kama requested three blessings.

First, it directly elevates the target's positive feelings towards you to the highest level and locks them in; second, it's a continuous exploitation of weaknesses; third, it allows you to increase the target's sensitivity without limit through physical and eye contact.

This put Hebe in a bit of a dilemma.

Giving out these blessings means that Kama will become a force to be reckoned with, like a surprise attack.

Regardless of age, gender, or even inanimate objects, all will be swayed by her cheating-like blessing.

Hebe suddenly remembered that in the mythology of his previous life, Vishnu did indeed have a female incarnation named "Mohini".

It is said that Mohini was the most beautiful woman in the universe, and even the Mahadeva Shiva, who had abandoned asceticism, could not resist her and wanted to embrace her.

"World Honored One, if this is difficult..."

"Heh, what difficulty could there be?" Hebe smiled. "As you wish."

The White Deer Staff fell gently, striking Kama on the head.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Accompanied by three clear and resonant sounds that echoed throughout the four directions, the bluish-purple flames on Kama's body thinned out, revealing his exquisitely beautiful white skin and graceful body curves.

She clasped her hands together and took two steps toward Hebe.

"World Honored One, do you think I am beautiful now?"

The demon's dark red eyes stared intently at Hebe.

The latter sighed; she knew Kama would do that.

As a programming enthusiast, Hebe certainly wouldn't be trapped by his own blessings like the Trimurti.

Feeling the flames gradually rising deep within her heart, and the faint trembling of her body, Hebe smiled.

This shows that her blessing was indeed effective in Bharata.

She looked at Kama calmly. "Of course it's beautiful, Kama, but it's not enough."

"Let me tell you the story of Mohini, how she seduced the Demon King with her gaze to steal the elixir of immortality, and how she tempted the hearts of those who renounced asceticism with her dance..."

"World Honored One— "

Kama reached out and sealed Hebe's lips with hers, her eyes dangerous and burning.

—The "Heavenly Demon" has never been so close to the "World Honored One".

The Bodhi Tree seemed not to see this as a danger and allowed Kama to cross the boundary.

Although Hebe did not speak, her eyes remained calm and serene, and her voice rang in Kama's ears like icy water.

"This is 'transcendence.' Do you remember it?"

The burning dark red in Kama's eyes suddenly receded, replaced by fear.

She tried to escape in a panic, but Hebe grabbed her arm.
