Reality Is Like This

[System Notification: Host has completed the second diary entry, rewarded with Golden Immortal Pill!]

[Rewarded with Jingwei's Heavenly-Grade Sea-Filling Technique!]

[Heavenly-Grade Sea-Filling Technique: Created by Jingwei in the past, it can move mountains and fill seas.]

Chen Tong's heart burned with excitement upon seeing this reward. It was free, after all, so why refuse it?

He truly deserved his System; it was so generous, making him feel deeply touched.

At this moment, Chen Tong looked at the monkey with eyes as if he were looking at a living god of wealth.

The monkey swallowed, saying, "Benefactor, what's wrong with me?"

"Is there something on my face?"

Chen Tong shook his head and said, "Nothing, you're fine. There's nothing on your face."

"Then, Benefactor, your gaze..."

"It's nothing."

Chen Tong was beaming, holding the Golden Immortal Pill the System had bestowed upon him.

He hadn't expected that being transmigrated would be such a joyful experience.

Without a word, he sat down cross-legged and swallowed the Golden Immortal Pill.

A surging aura erupted violently.

Sun Wukong was greatly astonished, never imagining that his benefactor's breakthrough to Golden Immortal would be accompanied by such immense power.

Such might was unprecedented.

He suspected that even the Jade Emperor himself hadn't experienced such a phenomenon when breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm.

Sun Wukong's gaze grew solemn.

He could clearly sense the purity of the power surging through his benefactor during the breakthrough.

It could even be said to have reached an inconceivable level.

If nothing unexpected happened, his benefactor, continuing on this path, could very well reach the level of Buddha.

Sun Wukong's thoughts raced, acknowledging his benefactor's extraordinary strength.

His divine abilities, cultivation techniques, elixirs, and artifacts were all top-tier.

What was his benefactor's true identity, and why had he saved him?

The monkey didn't know, but he was certain his benefactor was protecting him.

This was something he understood very clearly.

Chen Tong, on the other hand, was overjoyed. This surging power made his body and mind feel incredibly light.

It had also made his previous strength even greater.

He took a deep breath, and the vast power coursed through his body.

If it were similar to Taishang Laojun's alchemy, he might have had to worry about side effects.

However, what the System gave was naturally the best, so such drawbacks were completely nonexistent.

Chen Tong didn't know how much time had passed before his eyes snapped open, a sharp glint erupting from them.

Sun Wukong, who had been dozing, felt the surge of power.

"Benefactor, you're awake?"

Sun Wukong asked.

"What time is it?"

"I don't know."

"Evening, probably."

Chen Tong was speechless. The monkey had no real concept of time.

He himself knew it was evening; he could see Chang'e winking at him just by looking up.

Chen Tong: "..."

"I know it's evening."

Sun Wukong scratched his head and asked, "Benefactor, what do we do now?"

Sun Wukong truly lacked direction. If not for his benefactor, his fate would have already been manipulated by others.

Chen Tong coughed and said, "First, tell me what you're thinking. Let's have a good talk."

"My idea is revenge."

Chen Tong made a shushing gesture. "I admit, young man, you certainly have ideas, but can you succeed in your revenge?"

At this moment, the flames of vengeance flickered in Sun Wukong's eyes.

"Benefactor, I must have my revenge. If it weren't for your presence, I fear I would have been manipulated by those people."

Chen Tong was speechless. You actually have some self-awareness? You know that if it weren't for me, you would have already been suppressed under this Five Elements Mountain by that Buddha.

And now you have such thoughts? They're incredibly bold.

This isn't boldness, this is just thinking your life is too long.

"Listen to my advice, you can't handle this revenge. You should give up."

Chen Tong sighed and patted the monkey's shoulder.

"No, benefactor, you can't say that."

"They treated me like this, how could I not seek revenge?"

Sun Wukong said righteously.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes."

Chen Tong quickly agreed. "Then what will you use to get revenge? How many people do they have, and how many do you have?"

"Even if you count me, they have a vast army. What will you do then?"

Sun Wukong was silent for a long time after hearing this. What was said was indeed reasonable, and it was the current reality.

No matter how fierce Sun Wukong was, he couldn't fight so many people alone.

Chen Tong's tone was heavy. "Let me put it this way, I'm invincible in this water. But the two of us can't stay in this water forever, right?"

Sun Wukong nodded. "What benefactor says is indeed reasonable."

Chen Tong secretly wiped a bead of sweat. This monkey is truly reckless. No wonder he was so easily manipulated.

However, this is also unavoidable. He is, after all, a Stone Monkey born from the spirit of heaven and earth, without much guidance.

"So, do you still want revenge now?"

"Not really."

"As the saying goes, a gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years."

The monkey spat out this sentence at this moment.

Chen Tong was stunned. He couldn't defeat that Buddha in these hundred years either.

"Let's give up for now."

Chen Tong said.

Sun Wukong hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Everything will be based on benefactor's opinion."

Chen Tong suddenly felt a great weight lift from his heart.

This Sun Wukong actually has some intelligence.

Otherwise, what would I have done?

Heavenly Court.

"Report, report, report! Urgent news, Tathagata has returned in defeat!"

"Ah?!"

For a moment, this news caused a huge stir in the Heavenly Court.

The Jade Emperor's expression was uncertain. "What exactly is going on?"

"Who is that Heavenly Immortal?"

"Why would he protect that monkey? And he's someone without a title."

Thousand-Mile Eye and Wind-Following Ear exchanged glances. "We don't know, but judging by the aura of that region..."

"This person was a Heavenly Immortal just two days ago, but today he has already become a Golden Immortal."

"Moreover, when this person broke through, there were heavenly phenomena, with a million auspicious beasts coming to congratulate him."
