Sun Wukong Learns Spells, Yuan Hong Secretly Becomes the Monkey King

Yuan Hong nodded at this and said, "So that's how it is... By the way, Master, when do you think I can go to Flower-Fruit Mountain and fill in as the Monkey King? Zhu Yan made a killing last time. I'm jealous just watching."

Yun Ting pondered for a moment and said, "No rush, no rush. Wait until that monkey starts learning his arts first. It'll only be a few years..."

Yuan Hong nodded and said, "All right, then I'll wait for now. By the way, Master, after this Spiritual Stone Monkey follows Ancestor Bodhi, what level do you think he'll reach by the time he leaves the mountain?"

Yun Ting considered it for a moment before saying, "If he only has the cultivation of a Golden Immortal or Taiyi, then putting on the act of wreaking havoc in Heaven would be far too fake. But a Grand Unity Golden Immortal... For Ancestor Bodhi to raise Sun Wukong to the realm of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal in such a short time, the price he pays will definitely be no small one."

Jingwei asked in confusion from the side, "Holy Envoy, why are you only guessing Taiyi or Great Luo? Is the realm of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal alone enough to handle the Journey to the West Kalpa Tribulation? Every sect along the way will be waiting to make trouble for the Buddhist Sect. Won't the Monkey of Destiny get beaten into depression?"

Yun Ting chuckled. "Tell me, if an unruly monkey were raised to become a Quasi-Saint, could the Buddhist Sect still control him? By then, they wouldn't be training a Buddhist protector—they'd be raising an enemy. So they can only let him cause trouble first, then slowly tame his heart. All right, just sit back and enjoy
