Lingxuan Dao Palace, Primordial Book Library.

The monkey finished reading Lunyu, utterly baffled.

The monkey finished reading Journey to the West, and fell silent.

The monkey finished reading The Legend of Wukong, and let out a sigh.

The monkey finished reading A Chinese Odyssey, and shed a single tear.

The monkey finished reading Dragon Ball, his eyes blazing with fierce fury. He charged out of the courtyard, pointed at the heavens, and cursed:

"Heavenly Court, I fuck your grandpa!"

"Tathagata, I fuck your mother's stone slab!"

After those two roars, Sun Wukong howled again:

"Super Saiyan Monkey, transform!!!"

Boom!

Sun Wukong suddenly threw his head back and roared!

That single roar made the Great Earth tremble and the sky collapse!

His form began to swell wildly!

A body seven feet tall, in the blink of an eye, had already soared to ten thousand zhang!

Golden fur stood on end, each strand forged like divine iron!

His eyes burned a scorching crimson, radiating an indescribable pressure and fury!

The void behind him rumbled, and a phantom of a demon ape materialized!

In that instant!

He had awakened the ancient bloodline of the Chaos Demon Ape within him!

At the same time, countless profound Great Dao Laws and ancient divine runes surged madly into the depths of Sun Wukong's spiritual consciousness.

On the other side, Zhou Xuan lay sprawled on a rocking chair, leisurely reading Time Stopped at the Gym, and I Was at a Loss with a Room Full of Beauties.

Just as he was thoroughly engrossed, the system's voice rang out in his mind:

[Ding, your disciple Sun Wukong has activated the Chaos Demon Ape bloodline, strengthening his physical body by a factor of one hundred thousand.]

[Ten Billion Times Share activated, host's physical body strengthened by a factor of one quadrillion.]

[Ding, Sun Wukong has comprehended the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin level cultivation method, Nine Transformations of the Demon Ape.]

[Ding, Ten Billion Times Share, host has comprehended the Hunyuan 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's prompts, Zhou Xuan stretched contentedly.

"Having a disciple is really something!"

"This feeling of getting stronger while lying around slacking off is way too satisfying!"

Zhou Xuan said with a grin, feeling the sheer power of his flesh.

He had already slept in the chaos for who knows how many years, absorbing countless Primordial Chaos Origins and Great Dao Divine Runes. His physical body had long reached a terrifying level, comparable to an Innate Supreme Treasure!

Now, after being strengthened by a factor of one quadrillion, the toughness of his flesh was such that even a Chaos Supreme Treasure might not be able to break through his physical defense!

"Maybe I could even take a hit from Pangu's Sky-Opening Axe!"

Zhou Xuan then checked his gains.

This Primordial Nine Heavens involved cultivating the Qi of the Nine Heavens within the body.

The First Heaven could reach the Human Immortal realm.

The Second Heaven could step into the Earth Immortal realm.

The Third Heaven was the Heavenly Immortal realm.

The Fourth Heaven could become a Profound Immortal.

The Fifth Heaven directly reached the Golden Immortal.

The Sixth Heaven entered the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.

The Seventh Heaven was the Great Luo Golden Immortal, comprehending the power of laws.

The Eighth Heaven could step into the Golden Immortal of the Origin (Quasi-Saint), at which point the power of laws would be perfected, allowing a charge into the Ninth Heaven.

And when one reaches the Ninth Heaven, that is truly extraordinary—by proving the Dao through the power of laws, one can become a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin and attain the fruit of a Saint.

However, if one can refine these Nine Heavens and merge them into one, they may step into the realm of the Hunyuan Taiji Celestial Venerable.

At this level, one is infinitely close to the Heavenly Dao. Hongjun is currently at this realm, though he merged his body with the Dao, making him a False Saint, still bound by the Heavenly Dao!

But by proving the Dao through the power of laws and stepping into the peak realm, even the Heavenly Dao can do nothing about it.

Still, this cultivation technique is of no use to Zhou Xuan. What truly interests him is this skill, "Five-Five Split Between Heaven, Earth, and All Things."

Soon, Zhou Xuan figured out the skill.

This thing, as the name suggests.

[Five-Five Split Between Heaven, Earth, and All Things]: Between heaven and earth, no one can defeat it, and no one can be defeated by it.

Simply put, its combat power is unknown—stronger against the strong, even stronger against the even stronger. Even facing an ant, it would fight to a draw.

"Damn, the system is awesome! This skill is great!"

Zhou Xuan was overjoyed.

No joke—with this skill, no one could beat him!

But there was also a downside: no one could be beaten by him either.

At least it could save his life!

As long as he lived, he would eventually be invincible!

As long as he didn't die, there was still a chance!

"Now my safety is even more guaranteed!"

Zhou Xuan yawned and was about to take a short nap when Sun Wukong came hopping over, his face full of excitement.

"Master, Old Sun has realized it! Old Sun has realized it!"

Zhou Xuan glanced at him and scolded with a laugh:

"You monkey, getting this worked up over comprehending just a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin technique?"

Sun Wukong was stunned!

He had read Journey to the West and The Legend of Wukong, and inherited the bloodline and will of the ancient Chaos Demon Ape, giving him a very deep understanding of cultivation.

"Master, isn't the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin already impressive enough? That's already a Saint!"

"Empress Nuwa and the Three Pure Ancestors are all at this level!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xuan snorted with a laugh, rubbed the monkey's head—furry, much more comfortable than petting a cat.

"Monkey, what's a Saint worth..."

"Even if the Heavenly Dao took form, it couldn't beat me! Let alone a Saint!"

"Right now, I'll tailor a technique for you that can single-handedly challenge the Heavenly Dao!"

With that, Zhou Xuan reached out and gently stroked the monkey's head!

An Immortal strokes my crown!

Binding hair, receiving eternal life!

Boom!!!

Like a sudden enlightenment!

Sun Wukong instantly comprehended the technique of the Primordial Nine Heavens.

But the more he understood, the more shocked he became!

This Primordial Nine Heavens seemed tailor-made for him, perfectly matching his bloodline and divine abilities!

And it appeared to have evolved from the Nine Transformations of the Demon Ape!

Thinking this, Sun Wukong's heart was even more moved!

"Master seems careless and free-spirited!"

"But he's always been watching over Old Sun!"

"And he even spent his energy to tailor the Primordial Nine Heavens for me!"

"Boo hoo, a master like this is the only one under heaven and earth!"

At this moment, Sun Wukong was so moved that tears streamed down his face. Then he thought of that old fraud BodhiOld Sun listened to you blow hot air for seven years, and when I wanted to learn a longevity technique, you hemmed and hawed!

Without comparison, there's no realization!

With comparison, who's the clown is clear as day!

Old thief Bodhi! You wasted seven years of Old Sun's youth—if you don't pay youth compensation, I'll never let it rest!!!

"Little monkey, why are you crying?"

Zhou Xuan was a bit puzzled, reached out to smooth the monkey's head—this golden fur was really soft!

Sun Wukong fell to his knees with a thud!

"Master's great kindness and virtue, Old Sun has no way to repay!"

"From this day forward, Master, you shall be my own flesh-and-blood father!"

"Father above, Wukong kowtows to you!"

Thump thump thump!

Sun Wukong performed the three kneels and nine prostrations!

Zhou Xuan waved a hand, and Sun Wukong was immediately helped upright:

"Enough, I accept your sincerity, but I am not yet married—how could I acknowledge you as a son?"

Hearing this, Sun Wukong first felt sorrow, then joy, and said:

"Master, is it that once you have a Mistress, you can acknowledge me as your son?"
