The Cold Monkey Bro Became Cultivation Resources

"So what if he rebelled against Heaven? At least he had real ability."

"Wait, Grandmaster, why are you speaking up for the Heavenly Court? Haven't you always thought it was bad?"

Yu Xiaogang rejoiced inwardly. I was just waiting for you to ask that.

"The Heavenly Court is bad because it doesn't use my theories to manage its Immortals."

Yu Xiaogang held up his notebook.

"If it used my theories, the Handsome Monkey King would never have rebelled against the Heavenly Court."

"Teacher is right."

Tang San stepped forward to support him.

"The Heavenly Court has the power, yet lets the Demon Beasts of the Northern Julu Continent run rampant, and does nothing about the monks of the Western Ox Continent collaborating with Demon Beasts."

"It truly disgraces the name of the Heavenly Court!"

As soon as Tang San spoke, Dai Mubai and Oscar exchanged a glance, then lowered their heads without a word.

The two had worked out what this was about. Isn't this just because the Heavenly Court didn't go save your Xiao Wu? Did you have to go that far?

As for Yu Xiaogang, he was pure trash. They really wanted to know what he could amount to in the Primordial World.

But they dared not say much. With Tang Hao here, anything Tang San said was right.

At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi was just about to say something when he suddenly noticed new words appearing on the sky screen.

[The second batch of people to ascend to the Primordial World will be selected in three days. Living beings of the Douluo Continent, please prepare.]

"Rongrong, come here. I have something to tell you."

"Dad, they only pick four people each time. I don't think they'll pick me. Maybe you'll be the one ascending this time?"

Ning Rongrong pouted. She hated listening to her father's lectures most of all.

"You still need to prepare."

At Shrek Academy, once Yu Xiaogang read the words on the sky screen clearly, he ran toward his room without another word.

"Hey, Xiaogang, where are you going?"

Flender thought something had happened.

"Don't disturb me. I have something important to do."

Yu Xiaogang tossed back a reply. Nearby, Dai Mubai suddenly guessed something and immediately ran toward the dormitory too.

"Boss Dai, why are you running off too?"

Oscar could not call him back.

Tang San silently felt the Hidden Weapon on his wrist.

"If I'm chosen, I'll definitely survive in the Primordial World with my Tang Sect Hidden Weapons. There's also the Mysterious Heaven Skill. Once it absorbs Spiritual Qi, it definitely won't be weaker than the cultivation methods of the Primordial World. Besides, the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record encompasses all things. It's enough for me to establish myself there."

Tang San trusted the things he had brought from his previous life unconditionally.

These were things he had spent nearly thirty years studying in his previous life.

In his eyes, Tai Tan becoming a god was nothing special. As long as he could make those few more powerful Hidden Weapons, he would be in absolutely no danger, provided he did not encounter the Great Gods who had captured Sun Wukong.

"Xiao Wu, wait for me."

Tang San clenched his fists. "The last ascension separated me from Xiao Wu. Douluo Star Will, if you still don't choose me this time, you've already chosen the path to your own death."

Beside him, Tang Hao's expression shifted repeatedly. He was wondering whether to take Tang San back to the sect. He knew the sect had sent people looking for him lately, but he had never shown himself.

Another selection for ascension was coming soon. If he returned to the sect, perhaps its people could offer some advice. If he really was chosen, it would give him a slightly better chance of survival.

But in the end, he abandoned the thought.

"Once Little San and I have avenged the sect, we'll naturally return."

Before long, Yu Xiaogang came back, looking like an entirely different person.

Not only had he changed clothes, but he had clearly bathed and even put on perfume.

"Xiaogang, you..."

Flender rubbed his eyes.

Yu Xiaogang wore an arrogant expression, keeping his hands behind his back and saying nothing as he posed as an expert.

He could hardly say he was cleaning himself up in preparation to go woo a Princess of the Heavenly Court in the Primordial World.

He had looked at those Immortals, after all, although the only female Immortal he had seen so far was Chang'e on the moon.

But she alone was beautiful enough to astonish heaven. He simply had to spruce himself up properly.

He came up to Tang San with a smile on his face.

"Little San, don't worry. If I'm chosen to ascend this time, I won't spare no expense to help you rescue Xiao Wu."

"Teacher, thank you."

Tang San was touched. Just as the two were displaying their teacher-student affection, Dai Mubai returned as well, having likewise bathed and changed clothes.

Zhao Wuji watched all of this from a corner, a trace of disdain curling his lips.

No matter how some people dressed themselves up, they could not hide the fact that they were trash.

Spirit Hall.

"Listen carefully, all of you. If anyone from Spirit Hall ascends and happens to arrive on the Eastern Continent of Superior Body, go find the young mistress if you're not far away. If you're too far away, forget it. Stay alive first."

"If you're unfortunate enough to end up on the Northern Julu Continent or the Western Ox Continent, do everything you can to survive, whatever methods it takes. One day, Spirit Hall will go rescue you."

Qian Daoliu was rallying everyone, his eyes flicking toward Bibi Dong from time to time.

Bibi Dong had just gone back to the Papal Emperor Palace, and Qian Daoliu knew that by now, it had probably been all but emptied out.

Bibi Dong's heart had long since flown to the Primordial World.

But truth be told, he wanted to go too.

Star Dou Great Forest.

"My lord, if we're chosen this time, what arrangements should we make once we reach the Primordial World?"

Di Tian questioned the Silver Dragon King.

The Silver Dragon King's eyes held world-shaking wisdom, but she remained silent for a long time.

We watched the livestream together, and you're asking me what arrangements to make? How would I know?

The Primordial World is so dangerous. If I offered you a plan, would you dare use it?

Seeing the Silver Dragon King remain silent for so long, Di Tian was somewhat disappointed.

This had happened several times already. His lord could never come up with a definite idea.

He was deeply loyal, but this lord truly made him feel she could accomplish nothing.

Now he saw another possibility: going to the Primordial World to seek a way to survive. That path offered great rewards, but even greater risks.

He might as well first see whether he would be selected.

"Marry into a family."

Just then, a voice rang out without warning.

Di Tian looked at the Silver Dragon King in shock. Holy beans, my lord actually came up with an idea this time.

But this idea...

Di Tian pointed at his own nose, then tilted his head to look at Bi Ji, the Emerald Swan.

"Marry into a powerful faction, then seize the opportunity to swallow it up."

The Silver Dragon King added this explanation.

Di Tian wore the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone.

My lord, that was very well said, but please don't say it again.

The Far North.

"Don't pick me, unless you let Sister Xue'er come with me!"

The Ice Empress was panicking, clinging to the Snow Empress and refusing to let go.

The various factions across the continent reacted much the same way.

They were all gathering their powerful members and younger generations, making every preparation for ascension.

"Once you reach the Primordial World, join the Heavenly Court if you can. Even if you can't, build a good relationship with the Earth God. Try to stay alive as long as possible."

"If I'm picked, I hope I end up on the Eastern Continent of Superior Body. Whatever happens, please, please don't let it be the Western Ox Continent or the Northern Julu Continent."

The Primordial World.

Qian Renxue was gathering the monkey corpses scattered over the mountains and fields, while the Underworld Constables collected their souls. The two sides worked together seamlessly.

As for Flower-Fruit Mountain, although it looked utterly devastated, its earth veins had not actually been damaged. It only needed time to recover on its own.

It took Qian Renxue two days to bury all the monkey corpses.

Two large burial mounds now stood on Flower-Fruit Mountain.

One held the bodies of all the monkeys who had died in this battle. The other was a cenotaph, with a gravestone before it bearing the large words "Tomb of the Handsome Monkey King."

She had not dared write "Great Sage Equal to Heaven," fearing trouble.

"Ah... consider this repayment for your peach and wine. If you have another life, be a good person. No, with the crimes you committed, you might not get to be human in your next life. You might even have to take a trip through the Eighteen Levels of Hell. In any case, reform yourself properly in the Underworld."

"If I rise through the ranks quickly enough and get a chance to visit the Underworld, I'll come see you."

Qian Renxue had previously sensed that they were holding back somewhat while capturing Sun Wukong, but after Taishang Laojun appeared, she was no longer certain.

What kind of performance could possibly bring out a mighty figure like that in person?

Qian Renxue glanced at the now-silent Flower-Fruit Mountain. From now on, she held the highest authority here, yet she did not feel all that happy.

Noticing some little monkeys who had fled returning one after another, Qian Renxue left them alone. All the surviving monkeys still had years left in their allotted lifespans. Those whose names had been crossed out had already had their souls taken away.

Qian Renxue returned wearily to the Vihara and took out the peaches and wine.

Compared with the cold Monkey Bro, these cultivation resources warmed her heart much more.

Qian Renxue decided that after emerging from seclusion, she would burn some paper money for the monkey so he could live a little more comfortably down below.

"I wonder how much I can improve."

A faint smile appeared on Qian Renxue's face.
