Four Seasons Everlasting Wonders Mountain
Liu Changsheng was arrested, and like Zhu Bajie, the two became brothers in misfortune.
The plot continues as the group arrives at the Sacred Buddha Cave to capture Chenxiang. Due to Zhu Bajie's constant provocations and Howling Celestial Dog's taunts, Sun Wukong loses his temper and tears off Howling Celestial Dog's nose. In the end, Sun Wukong and Yang Jian engage in a fierce battle.
This was also the first time that the people of the Azure Dragon Continent had witnessed a battle of god-like power.
One blow darkens the heavens and earth; one shot changes the sun and moon.
Mountains crumbled and rivers broke apart.
The practitioners outside the Bookstore watched this scene in silence, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"Immortals, this is a battle between immortals!" Finally, a cultivator couldn't help but shout.
For a moment, all the cultivators were stunned, and then they became excited one by one.
"Yes! Only immortals could pull off such an earth-shattering, awe-inspiring battle; they must be immortals!"
"After 30,000 years, we have finally seen immortals again!"
Since ancient times, no immortals have appeared on the Azure Dragon Continent for 30,000 years. Immortals have long since become legends and a kind of belief.
Thirty thousand years later, the earth-shattering battle caused by those two figures with the qualities of immortals has once again brought the word "immortal" to everyone's mind.
"I finally understand what the shopkeeper meant by the mythical world—it's the ancient era!" A cultivator stared intently at the projection, muttering to himself, clearly a little too excited.
Do you think the shop owner might be a celestial being?
Suddenly, a cultivator uttered a sentence that made everyone fall into deep thought.
A mysterious and magical Bookstore, filled with all sorts of wondrous books from which one can acquire cultivation techniques, martial arts skills, high-level spiritual artifacts, and even sprites...
It seemed to appear out of thin air, forming a unique landscape on the Azure Dragon Continent.
It is so alluring, yet so mysterious and unpredictable.
No one ever imagined that one day they wouldn't have to risk their lives to search for opportunities in secret realms, or spend all their time cultivating; all they would need to do is go to Bookstore, pick up a book, find a quiet place to sit down, and spend a day reading the contents and savoring the various aspects of life depicted within.
Then... you can obtain what cultivators dream of their entire lives: cultivation level, cultivation techniques and martial arts skills, spiritual weapons, and spirit beasts...
This feeling is like a dream.
But the facts are right before our eyes: some people obtained ninth-tier Spirit Sword from Bookstore, some obtained Sacred Beast- quality sprites from Bookstore, and some even Transcendent to Saint from there!
Everything stems from this little Bookstore!
If a small Bookstore possesses so many miraculous effects, then who exactly is Ma Feifei, the owner of this Mysterious Bookstore Bookstore? What kind of person could casually write a book that could grant people Transcendent to Saint, martial arts techniques, magical weapons, and even spirit beasts?
Even every book of Yellow Quality or higher that the shop owner writes about possesses a special magical effect: each book is a world unto itself!
The world of elves, the world of Shushan, the world of tomb raiding, the world of Buddha, and now the world of mythology!
The books written by the shop owner seem to possess a magical power, capable of transforming the words within into a real world, turning those words into reality, and making the abstract concrete.
This ability has never existed in the Azure Dragon Continent in the past 30,000 years, and it may not even have existed in the distant ancient times.
Does this mean that the shop owner's own strength has reached the Immortal Realm, or even higher?
While everyone was still speculating about Ma Feifei's strength, more than half of the plot in the projection had already passed.
With the intervention of the Jade Emperor, Erlang Shen and Sun Wukong stopped fighting and were asked to Erlang Shen the Seven Freaks of Mei Mountain out of Emei Mountain. However, Erlang Shen did not give up. Instead, he ordered the Seven Freaks of Mei Mountain to block all the exits of Emei Mountain and wait for Chenxiang to come out.
At this moment, in front of the Sacred Buddha Cave, Zhu Bajie and Chenxiang once again asked Sun Wukong to take them as disciples.
At this point in the story, Sun Wukong was expected to refuse again, but to Ma Feifei's surprise, Sun Wukong glanced at Liu Changsheng, who was silently healing in the corner, waved to him, and said, "Hey, outsider, come here."
Liu Changsheng hesitated for a moment, but still chose to run over and come to Sun Wukong's side.
Both Zhu Bajie and Chenxiang looked at Liu Changsheng with puzzled expressions, wondering why Sun Wukong had suddenly called this stranger over.
Sun Wukong chuckled, opened his palm, and an Orange Fragment appeared in his hand.
Liu Changsheng's eyes lit up.
"Do you want it?" Sun Wukong asked.
Liu Changsheng nodded.
"You can want it, but you need to do one thing first."
Sun Wukong put away the Orange Fragment and mischievously ran around. Finally, after whetting everyone's appetite, he slowly said, "The Buddhists say: 'To understand one's true nature, one must undergo ascetic practices.' One of you wants to take the fragment from Old Sun, and the other wants to become Old Sun disciple. So let's follow the rules of Buddhism and have you undergo some ascetic practices."
Liu Changsheng and Chenxiang looked completely bewildered, while Zhu Bajie remained silent to the side.
"Victorious Fighting Buddha, how do you practice this asceticism?" Chenxiang asked anxiously.
What exactly constitutes asceticism is not important to Chenxiang. As long as Sun Wukong agrees to take him as a disciple, he will do whatever the demands are, no matter how difficult they are.
Sun Wukong chuckled, offered no explanation, and with a little magic, transported the Soaring Cloud Riding Mist to the foot of another peak in Mount Emei Mountain.
Ma Feifei, above the clouds, frowned. This wasn't part of the original story. Sun Wukong suddenly made such a demand for ascetic practices. What if Chenxiang completed it? Wouldn't that break his agreement with the Jade Emperor to take Chenxiang as his disciple?
Although Sun Wukong later accepted Chenxiang as his disciple, he initially did so under a different identity, transforming into Laodao to teach Chenxiang magic.
If Chenxiang fulfills the requirements, and Sun Wukong accepts Chenxiang as his disciple, will the subsequent Laodao plot still be relevant?
"Let's wait and see. Since Sun Wukong brought up this mission himself, it must have been arranged by the system." Ma Feifei pondered for a moment and decided to wait and see how things developed.
At this moment, Sun Wukong below also explained his so-called ascetic requirements.
"It's very simple. Whoever climbs to the top of this mountain first, Old Sun, will grant their request."
"That simple?" Chenxiang and Liu Changsheng exchanged a glance, somewhat puzzled.
Sun Wukong chuckled and waved his hand.
"Boom!"
The sky changed color, and the mountain in front of us instantly transformed into a snow-capped mountain. Snowflakes continued to fall from the sky, and the temperature in the air dropped to its lowest point.
"This is the Four Seasons Everlasting Wonders Mountain, which contains many natural wonders. Only those with great Guts can ascend it." After Sun Wukong finished speaking, two more golden beams shot from his hands towards the two, sealing away all their cultivation.
"Please, both of you."
