The Stone Monkey Is Born!

Chapter 736: The Stone Monkey Is Born!

How could he teach the monkey properly?

Li Changshou returned to Spiritual Platform Mountain and began pondering this profoundly difficult question.

To that end, he even took a trip through the mortal world, observing and visiting craftsmen who trained monkeys. It gave him some inspiration, and many ideas formed in his heart.

The Stone Monkey would surely be a being brimming with spirituality, far surpassing mortals.

It had neither father nor mother, born from a stone womb. Above, it could acknowledge Nuwa the Holy Mother as its mother; below, it could become an extraordinary being beyond the Three Realms and Five Elements.

And toward the Stone Monkey, Li Changshou actually held a measure of respect in his heart.

Great Sage Equal to Heaven...

What kind of hero would it take, and what kind of recklessness, to dare call oneself that?

A newborn calf feared no tiger; a newborn Stone Monkey feared no Dao Ancestor.

To teach a monkey, he naturally had to begin from two aspects.

One was preserving its nature; the other was teaching it the skills of combat.

Li Changshou's favored profound art was naturally the Eight-Nine Profound Technique, but the Eight-Nine Profound Technique was now a Dao Sect's protective sect art, spread only within the small circle of the Chan Teachings Twelve Golden Immortals.

In his "nominal" capacity, he could not obtain such an art.

Furthermore, the monkey's Seventy-two Transformations, Cloud Somersault, and Steel Muscles and Bones all needed to reach a "profound and wondrous" level before the monkey could face the myriad calamities ahead.

Li Changshou had never thought of arranging or plotting against the monkey. He wanted the monkey to retain its nature.

Yet Li Changshou calculated and considered every possible scenario.

Take combat power alone.
