Oh! I Have Attained the Dao!

Unexpectedly, Sun Wukong would say something like that, leaving the fat man with jackfruit scars on his head speechless for a moment. However, Feng Xue wasn't going to waste any more words with him. Now that the Trait was complete, he naturally had no intention of going to jail, and immediately said:

"You want me to go to jail? Heh heh, you're welcome to try!"

With that, he snapped his fingers, and a cloud of auspiciousness suddenly appeared beneath his feet. And so, right before the eyes of the entire world, the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven Sun Wukong, rode away on his Somersault Cloud!

Some say that the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven's skills were so great that he brought both culinary and martial arts to their peak before ascending to heaven.

Some people say that the cloud was just a special effect, actually a smoke bomb, and that the person ran away while the smoke was being released.

Some say that Sun Wukong was intercepted by a great monk from the Western Regions and imprisoned in a gourmet prison for five hundred years, all to completely erase the peaches of immortality that suppressed the various kingdoms from history...

However, later on, occasionally someone would encounter a strangely dressed man on the street, receive a peach from him, and thus understand the ultimate taste of life. As for whether that man was Sun Wukong himself, that's up to you to believe...

This battle severely damaged the reputation of the Central Plains Culinary World, and the tradition of the International Culinary Conference fell to the Western Regions. Years later, another unparalleled genius emerged from the Central Plains, leading numerous chefs to the Western Regions to reclaim the culinary conference's legacy—but that's another story...

"It worked!"

Leaving the world of "Journey to the West," Feng Xue's face lit up with joy, because that final display of divine power had finally transformed the Somersault Cloud into a true Phantom Object.

Name: Phantom Object - Somersault Cloud

Elements: [Vehicles], [Clouds], [Flight], [Technology], [Escape]

Description: A cloud used by Great Sage, Equal to Heaven, the Monkey Sun Wukong, to escape the Peach Banquet. It is extremely fast and has a smoke effect, effectively evading various pursuers.

Note: Once you get on it, no one can catch you, provided you don't stop to pee!

"Who would pee on Somersault Cloud? I'm not Monkey!" Feng Xue rolled his eyes, then raised an eyebrow, looking at his Live Broadcast Drone some surprise. There was nothing wrong with the drone itself, but it had an extra Phantom Object symbol on it—

Title: Phantom Object: The Great Sage Chef Scripture

Elements: [Cooking], [Martial], [Secret Manuals], [Absolute Skill], [Ascension]

Synopsis: This video depicts Sun Wukong, the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven, preparing peaches at the Peach Banquet. It showcases his powerful Martial Arts and superb culinary skills. Legend has it that this is the method for ascension left behind by Sun Wukong. If one can comprehend its mysteries, one can not only create Longevity Cooking but also attain Attain Dao and Ascend.

Note: The pie was born of nature, and a stroke of genius came about by chance.

"Damn, I really didn't just make empty promises this time!"

Feng Xue stared wide-eyed at the description displayed by the Golden Finger in disbelief. Actually, there's nothing wrong with the idea of drawing a pie in the sky. He already had two pie in the sky, the Six Completions Way and the Xuanjun Secret Scripture, so he didn't care about having one more. What really surprised him was that this was the first time he had ever seen Phantom Object without a physical form.

Most Phantom Object in the past had a specific form. Even a secret manual would at least have a book or a few pages. But this thing was a video completely stored in the memory of Live Broadcast Drone. Although as Phantom Object, it could not be copied as easily as a normal video, the structure of relying on other carriers was itself very intriguing.

However, there are countless forms of Phantom Object, so Feng Xue didn't dwell too much on these minor differences. He tidied up his belongings but glanced at the calendar.

Although, aside from the time difference, the flow of time in the other world is roughly the same as in the present world and the Infinite City, with only some time differences caused by the different rotation speeds of planets, this does not mean that different worlds use the same calendar. After spending two months there, Feng Xue recalibrated the time in the present world.

"It's already November... So, there's only one month left before the resurrection cooldown resets?"

Feng Xue muttered to herself, then immediately took out a gourd.

This is precisely the golden elixir that, along with the Weird Tale of Sun Wukong, condensed and transformed into his Companion Phantom.

Because it wasn't produced by itself, it can't Infinite Regeneration like Phantom Object such as Buffer Ball, M&Ms, or Coffin board. Once this gourd is used up, it's completely gone.

However, since it's Companion Phantom, it refreshes every time he revives, so it's not really that valuable.

Shaking the gourd, he poured out a golden pill. As its refreshing fragrance spread, it gave Feng Xue a completely different feeling than before.

After becoming Phantom Object, this thing is still essentially a spice, but in its design, it has acquired the characteristics of a "golden elixir".

Then...

"Damn, this thing really is a 'Golden Core'!"

Feeling the restlessness of her [Immortal] and [Martial] powers, Feng Xue stared dumbfounded at the small pill. This golden core was not only Laojun's pill, but also the golden core of the Golden Core Dao!

In other words, this thing can not only be eaten, but after being refined, it can even be used as the Purple Mansion Golden Core for the Golden Core stage, or as the "Dan" for martial arts to form the Golden Core.

Moreover, this thing doesn't have the problem of unstable cultivation levels caused by excessive drug use, as seen in traditional cultivation novels. Weird Tale only focus on the setting; if it's not mentioned in the setting, then it doesn't exist!

Without much thought, she directly popped a golden pill into her mouth. The moment the pill touched her tongue, it burst forth with an incredibly rich aroma that almost made Feng Xue lose her sense of taste. It then transformed into a pool of golden liquid, rushing into her Purple Mansion along the Heavenly Bridge, and regrouping before the Spiritual Platform Bright Mirror.

The runes symbolizing the celestial constellations on the Spiritual Platform Bright Mirror were reflected on the golden elixir, and lines of elixir patterns were engraved on it. After nine cycles of cultivation, true qi was generated spontaneously, and the spiritual energy of the five Internal Force organs was refined into one. The acquired celestial qi transformed into innate qi, flowing through the limbs and bones. At this moment, essence, qi, and spirit converged in the elixir, the dragon and tiger harmonized, the tortoise and snake intertwined, yin and yang flowed, and everything was perfectly integrated. This is called the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown and the Five Energies Returning to the Origin.

Upon opening his eyes, a beam of Spiritual Light shot straight into the sky from them. However, as his aura subsided, both the divine light in his eyes and the immense presence disappeared once again within a few breaths into his seemingly ordinary body.

"My darling, my darling!"

Feng Xue patted the gourd, suddenly became interested, and immediately whistled. The Somersault Cloud, which was originally just a technological creation, seemed to have come to life and immediately darted in front of him.

Leaping onto the Somersault Cloud, the sensation beneath her feet was completely different from the previous footboard. The fluffy, soft texture, like Cotton Wadding, allowed the power of the background music to be unleashed at full force, and the Somersault Cloud, following Feng Xue's will, raced wildly through the Infinite City.

That day, the Cloud Palace Swift Sound echoed throughout the entire Infinite City...

Regarding the journey to the West many years later... well, like the Great Adventure of Amon, this will probably be written as a side story after this book is finished. I won't write about it here, since it's long enough for a whole volume and doesn't really have anything to do with the main plot...
