After finishing Lunyu, the monkey was completely baffled.
After finishing Journey to the West, the monkey fell silent.
After finishing The Legend of Wukong, the monkey let out a sigh.
After finishing A Chinese Odyssey, the monkey shed a single tear.
After finishing Dragon Ball, blazing fury flickered in the monkey's eyes. He charged outside and pointed at the sky, cursing:
"Heavenly Court, fuck your ancestors!"
"Tathagata, you son of a bitch!"
After roaring those two lines, Sun Wukong let out another furious bellow:
"Super Saiyan Monkey, transform!!!"
BOOM!
Sun Wukong threw his head back and roared!
His furious cry shook the earth and shattered the heavens!
His body began to swell at a frightening rate!
In the blink of an eye, his seven-foot frame had grown to a towering ten thousand feet!
Every strand of golden fur stood on end, each hair forged like divine iron!
His eyes blazed crimson, radiating an indescribable pressure and fury!
The void rumbled behind him, and the phantom image of a Chaos Demon Ape appeared!
In an instant!
He awakened the bloodline of the Primordial Chaos Demon Ape within him!
At the same time, countless abstruse Great Dao Laws and ancient divine runes surged into the depths of Sun Wukong's mind.
Elsewhere, Zhou Xuan lounged in a rocking chair, leisurely reading Time Stopped in the Gym, and I Was at a Loss in a Room Full of Beauties.
Just as he was engrossed in it, the system's voice rang in his mind:
[ Ding! Your disciple Sun Wukong has activated the Chaos Demon Ape bloodline. His physical strength has increased by 100,000 times. ]
[ Ten Billion Times Share activated. Host's physical strength has increased by one quadrillion times. ]
[ Ding! Sun Wukong has comprehended the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal-level technique Nine Transformations of the Demon Ape. ]
[ Ding! Ten Billion Times Share. Host has comprehended the Primordial Wuji cultivation method Primordial Nine Heavens. ]
[ Ding! Sun Wukong has comprehended the combat skill Super Saiyan Monkey. ]
[ Ding! Ten Billion Times Share. Host has comprehended the skill Five-Five Split Between Heaven, Earth, and All Things. ]
Listening to the system, Zhou Xuan stretched contentedly.
"Having a disciple really is great!"
"Getting stronger just by lying around and slacking off feels incredible!"
Zhou Xuan grinned as he felt the power of his body.
He had slept in the chaos for who knew how many years, absorbing countless strands of Primordial Chaos Origin and Great Dao Divine Runes. His body had long since reached a terrifying level, comparable to an Innate Supreme Treasure!
Now, after being strengthened by a quadrillion times, his physical body was so powerful that even a Chaos Supreme Treasure might not be able to break through his defenses!
"Maybe I could even take Pangu's Sky-Opening Axe head-on!"
Zhou Xuan took another look at what he had gained.
The Primordial Nine Heavens was a method for cultivating the Qi of the Nine Heavens within the body.
The first heaven could bring one to the Human Immortal realm.
The second could bring one into the Earth Immortal realm.
The third was the Heaven Immortal realm.
The fourth could bring one to the Profound Immortal realm.
The fifth led straight to the Golden Immortal realm.
The sixth entered the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
The seventh was the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, where one comprehended the power of the laws.
The eighth could bring one to the Primordial Golden Immortal (Quasi-Saint) realm. Once the power of the laws was perfected, one could advance to the ninth heaven.
The ninth heaven was extraordinary. Proving the Dao through the power of the laws would make one a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal and grant one the Dao Fruit of a Saint.
And once one refined all nine heavens and united them as one, one could reach the realm of the Hunyuan Taiji Celestial Venerable.
At that level, one would be infinitely close to the Heavenly Dao. Hongjun was currently at this level. Of course, Hongjun had joined with the Dao and was merely a False Saint, still constrained by the Heavenly Dao!
But one who proved the Dao through the power of the laws and reached the peak would be beyond even the Heavenly Dao's control.
Still, this cultivation method was of little use to Zhou Xuan. What truly interested him was the skill called "Five-Five Split Between Heaven, Earth, and All Things."
Soon, Zhou Xuan figured out how the skill worked.
It was exactly what the name suggested.
[Five-Five Split Between Heaven, Earth, and All Things]: Between heaven and earth, no one can beat anyone else. No one can beat anyone else.
Simply put, its power was unknown: the stronger the opponent, the stronger the user; the stronger still the opponent, the stronger the user became. Even against an ant, the fight would be evenly matched.
"Damn, the system's awesome! This skill is great!"
Zhou Xuan was delighted.
Seriously, with this skill, no one could beat anyone else!
Of course, the skill had one drawback: no one could beat anyone else.
But at least it could keep him alive!
As long as he lived, he would eventually become invincible!
As long as he didn't die, he still had a chance!
"This makes me even safer!"
Zhou Xuan yawned and was just about to take a nap when Sun Wukong came bounding over, his face brimming with excitement.
"Master, I've understood! I've understood!"
Zhou Xuan glanced at him and said with a teasing smile:
"You little monkey, you've only comprehended a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal technique. Is that really enough to get you this excited?"
Sun Wukong froze.
He had read Journey to the West and The Legend of Wukong, and inherited the bloodline and will of the ancient Chaos Demon Ape. He already had a deep understanding of cultivation.
"Master, is the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm not powerful enough? That's already the realm of a Saint!"
"Empress Nuwa and the Three Pure Ancestors are all at that level!"
Hearing this, Zhou Xuan scoffed and rubbed the monkey's head. Its fur was soft and fluffy, even nicer to pet than a cat.
"Monkey, what's a Saint worth..."
"Even if the Heavenly Dao took physical form, it still couldn't beat me! Saints are nothing by comparison!"
"I'll now create a technique just for you, one that can let you fight the Heavenly Dao one-on-one!"
With that, Zhou Xuan reached out and gently stroked the monkey's head!
"An Immortal strokes my crown!"
"Tying my hair, I receive eternal life!"
BOOM!!!
It was as if enlightenment had poured into him!
In an instant, Sun Wukong comprehended the Primordial Nine Heavens cultivation method.
But the more he understood it, the more stunned he became!
The Primordial Nine Heavens seemed tailor-made for him, perfectly suited to his bloodline and divine abilities!
It also seemed to have evolved from the Nine Transformations of the Demon Ape!
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong was even more moved.
"Master may seem carefree and unconcerned!"
"But in truth, he's been looking out for me all along!"
"And Master even spent so much effort creating the Primordial Nine Heavens just for me!"
"Waaah! There's no master like him in all heaven and earth! He's one of a kind!"
At that moment, Sun Wukong was weeping with gratitude. Then he thought of that old con artist Bodhi. He'd listened to Bodhi brag for seven years, and when he'd asked to learn the art of immortality, Bodhi had dragged his feet!
You wouldn't know the difference unless you compared them!
Once you did, it was plain as day who the real fool was!
"Bodhi, you old bastard! You wasted seven years of my youth. If you don't pay me compensation for that lost time, I'll never let you off!"
"Little monkey, why are you crying?"
Zhou Xuan was a little puzzled. He reached out to stroke the monkey's head. That golden fur really was soft!
Sun Wukong dropped to his knees with a thump!
"Master, I can never repay your great kindness!"
"From now on, you're my real father!"
"Father, your son Wukong is here to bow to you!"
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Sun Wukong kowtowed three times, then bowed nine times!
Zhou Xuan waved his hand, and Sun Wukong was immediately lifted to his feet.
"Enough. I appreciate the sentiment, but I'm not married. How could I take you as my son?"
At that, Sun Wukong first looked crestfallen, then brightened and said:
"Master, does that mean you can take me as your son once you have a mistress?"
Before you continue
