The Stone Monkey Must Storm the East Sea, Break into the Underworld, and Wreak Havoc in Heaven

As the eldest and second senior brothers of the Expounding Teaching, Nine Li and Guang Chengzi naturally understood the international situation-pah, the situation in the Primordial World-very well. In the coming kalpa, the Primordial World would become Buddhism's stage: Mystery-Hidden Buddha's Rise. And that Stone Monkey would be the protagonist who ushered in Buddhism's rise!

"Whoosh!" The streak of Jade Pure Immortal Light landed and transformed into a Daoist wearing green robes, with a writing brush tucked into his hair and a rather pleasing face. He cupped his hands before Nine Li and Guang Chengzi. "Greetings, senior brothers."

Nine Li and Guang Chengzi returned his greeting together. Then Nine Li said, "Thank you for your efforts on this trip, junior brother."

"You're too kind, eldest senior brother. All I did was teach a disciple. It was hardly any trouble," True Person Yuding said with a smile.

"Junior brother, how is that monkey doing now? Has he already mastered his abilities?" Guang Chengzi asked curiously.

At the mention of his disciple, Yuding immediately perked up. Stroking his beard, he said with a hint of bragging, "Well, senior brother, that disciple of mine... ah, he's done fairly well. He's already learned the Seventy-Two Earthly Baleful Transformations and the Somersault Cloud. I passed on the Great Grade Heavenly Immortal Canon as the foundation for his cultivation, and to my surprise, he mastered that in no time too. Not bad. He's no worse than his senior brother."

Nine Li asked, "What is his cultivation level now?"

True Person Yuding replied, "He has entered the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm."

Hearing Yuding say that the monkey had already become a Taiyi Golden Immortal, Guang Chengzi's expression shifted slightly. Back then, who knew how many years he had spent advancing from Golden Immortal to Taiyi Golden Immortal?
