Chapter Four: A Cultivation Technique for the Primordial Grand Unity

At the same time, Wu Feng could also receive a portion of those Exchange Points.

"That comes to nine hundred and eighty points. We're still short twenty points." Wu Feng counted them up before finally speaking.

"Ah..." Sun Wukong scratched his head. "But, Shopkeeper, I don't have anything left on me now."

"That cudgel looks pretty good. It should be worth something." Wu Feng's gaze fell on the Golden Cudgel in Sun Wukong's hand.

"This..." Sun Wukong looked at the Golden Cudgel in his hand, his expression turning sorrowful.

This was a treasure he had obtained only recently. He was extremely reluctant to hand it over.

But he also wanted to read Journey to the West immediately.

At that moment, Sun Wukong's mind was torn between two choices.

Should I give it to him or not?

"Enough, Sun Wukong. That Chain Mail you're wearing should still be worth some Exchange Points. Just give it to me." Wu Feng shook his head.

"Oh, all right, all right." Sun Wukong hurriedly stripped off the Chain Mail he was wearing.

Compared to the Golden Cudgel, Sun Wukong was not particularly attached to the Chain Mail.

As for ending up naked after taking it off, that was not a problem either.

During the several hundred years after he was born, he had only used leaves to cover his body.

"Exactly one thousand points." Wu Feng nodded in satisfaction. "Sun Wukong, you can read this book properly now. I believe it will bring a change to your fate."

Wu Feng's words carried a profound meaning.

As a transmigrator, Wu Feng knew that the entire journey to the West was nothing more than an arrangement made by the immortals.

The havoc in Heaven was the same.

Sun Wukong was, for the most part, merely a puppet being manipulated by others.

Perhaps Journey to the West could now grant the Sun Wukong of this era a little more insight.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper." Sun Wukong nodded excitedly, picked up Journey to the West, and continued reading.

Seeing Sun Wukong immersed in the book, Wu Feng did not remain there. He returned to his own courtyard.

"These cultivation techniques I exchanged for are just what I need to cultivate." Wu Feng looked at the techniques in his hands. He could not learn the cultivation manuals in the General Store, but those he obtained from customers were not subject to that restriction.

"..."

"How am I supposed to cultivate?"

As an ordinary mortal, Wu Feng was somewhat dumbfounded.

He did not have Patriarch Bodhi to guide him.

"Wait, I can use Exchange Points." Wu Feng's eyes lit up.

Half of Sun Wukong's Exchange Points had gone to the General Store, but the other half had fallen into Wu Feng's hands.

"Great Celestial Immortal Art."

Wu Feng took out this cultivation technique.

This was the technique Patriarch Bodhi had taught Sun Wukong, and it was an exceptional technique.

"Boom..."

With the power of the Exchange Points, Wu Feng instantly attained entry into the Great Celestial Immortal Art. Astonishing immortal power surged within his body.

In the Journey to the West World, the levels of cultivation went from the mortal realm to Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, and Celestial Immortal, followed by Mysterious Immortal, Golden Immortal, and Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

As a Spiritual Stone Monkey, Sun Wukong was currently at the power level of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

After the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm came the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm of the Great Unity.

The Grand Unity realm was already the pinnacle among immortals.

After that came the Quasi-Saint realm.

During the Wilderness Era, Quasi-Saints could be found everywhere. By the time of the Journey to the West, however, Quasi-Saints had almost entirely vanished from public view.

As for Saints, even those powerful Quasi-Saint beings had never considered reaching that level.

Apart from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Wilderness World had six Saints.

Those six Saints had all become Saints during the Witch-Demon Era.

From the end of the Witch-Demon Era until now, not a single cultivator had broken through to become a Saint.

Gradually, many powerful beings abandoned this ambition in their hearts.

Becoming a Saint might already be impossible.

This time, with the help of the Exchange Points and the Great Celestial Immortal Art, Wu Feng directly broke through to the Celestial Immortal level.

As a Celestial Immortal, Wu Feng had already shed his mortal body, and the essence of his life had changed.

"Although I used up all the Exchange Points, they helped me tremendously." Wu Feng exhaled.

Becoming a Celestial Immortal felt completely different from being a mortal.

Although he was invincible within the General Store,

after coming to the Journey to the West World, Wu Feng naturally wanted to become a true powerhouse.

The existence of the General Store had given Wu Feng that opportunity.

"Ah..." A furious roar rang out.

"I want the heavens to never cover my eyes again! I want the earth to never bury my heart again! I want all living beings to understand my will! I want all the Buddhas to vanish into smoke!"

The voice rang in Wu Feng's ears.

It was Sun Wukong's voice.

"Have you finished reading?" Wu Feng asked as he walked back into the General Store.

At that moment, Sun Wukong was holding Journey to the West. His pupils were blazing with anger, and fury flashed across his body.

The Sun Wukong in this book had been completely toyed with by the gods and Buddhas.

The gods and Buddhas stood high above all others. No matter how hard the Sun Wukong in the book struggled, he was merely making futile efforts.

This made Sun Wukong feel a shared hatred for their enemies.

He had completely projected himself into the Sun Wukong in the book.

Fortunately, this was only a story, not reality.

"Shopkeeper, are the gods and Buddhas really as lofty and utterly hypocritical as they are portrayed?" Sun Wukong asked.

"Sun Wukong, whether the gods and Buddhas are truly like that is something you must see for yourself. Besides, Journey to the West is not merely a story." Wu Feng spoke meaningfully.

"Not a story?" Sun Wukong's heart jolted.

He thought of himself.

Could this be my future?

But that could not be. There was no Zixia at Flower-Fruit Mountain.

"Shopkeeper, I'll be back." In the end, Sun Wukong cupped his fists toward Wu Feng and left the General Store.

He needed to digest the story he had just seen.

Chapter Four: A Cultivation Technique for the Primordial Grand Unity

"Hmm..."

When Sun Wukong stepped out of the General Store, a cultivation technique surfaced in his mind.

Fight, fight, fight...

The character in his mind continuously radiated light.

"Heaven-Battling Art."

In the end, those characters formed a cultivation technique: the Heaven-Battling Art.

There was no doubt that merely sensing the aura of this cultivation technique was enough for Sun Wukong to understand that it surpassed the Great Celestial Immortal Art.

"Could this be the cultivation technique I comprehended from Journey to the West?" Sun Wukong's eyes shifted.

Apart from that explanation, there should be no other answer.

"No wonder it required so many things to finish reading this book." Sun Wukong muttered to himself. "With this cultivation technique, I feel that I might even have a chance to become a Grand Unity Golden Immortal of the Great Unity."

Becoming a Grand Unity Golden Immortal was considered one of the limits of being a Spiritual Stone Monkey.

Moreover, Sun Wukong had broken through to his current level in an extremely short time. This was also because he possessed Nuwa's Sky-Mending Stone, in addition to the aptitude of a Spiritual Stone Monkey. Otherwise, how could he have attained the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm in such a short time?

Even during the Wilderness Era, becoming a Grand Unity Golden Immortal required a certain amount of time.

That said, Sun Wukong's achievement was also related to his status as the protagonist of a tribulation.

In the Journey to the West Tribulation, Sun Wukong was one of the important protagonists.

The prosperity of Buddhism depended heavily on him.
