"Brother, is this thing really as useful as you say?"
At the top of Korin Tower, Xu Xiao and Sun Wukong continued to ascend to higher levels, with Wukong curiously examining a Senzu Bean.
"Just try one and you'll see. This stuff shouldn't disappoint you or me."
Xu Xiao took out a Senzu Bean from his pocket and popped it into his mouth first.
As soon as he bit into it, a rich life force burst forth from the Senzu Bean, instantly spreading throughout Xu Xiao's entire body. His stomach also felt as if he had eaten a lot of food, giving him a feeling of fullness.
Sun Wukong, standing nearby, also imitated Xu Xiao, throwing Senzu Bean into his mouth. After chewing it, his eyes lit up.
"Brother, this is indeed a good thing. It has a very strong life force, and its effects are comparable to some rare and precious herbs."
"Yes, this thing's vitality is extremely beneficial for repairing bodily damage."
Xu Xiao nodded and started talking to Wukong about the drawbacks of this world.
"The people of this world have studied the destructive power of Qi and developed its combat attributes to the extreme, but they haven't done much to develop their own physical bodies."
"While Qi excels in destructive and defensive capabilities, it cannot mask its weaknesses; in terms of recovery and healing, Qi has essentially remained undeveloped."
"Those powerful warriors who can shatter mountains and cleave rivers, even destroy planets, rely entirely on qi (vital energy), not their physical bodies."
"Once they lack vital energy, they become barely stronger than ordinary people, and even some diseases can kill them. They are severely unbalanced in their abilities."
"With Senzu Bean, the weakness of those warriors who possess ki in terms of recovery will be compensated, which will be of great help to my future plans."
"Moreover, this powerful life force won't be wasted; I can use it to cultivate other abilities."
Upon hearing this, Wukong nodded, agreeing with Xu Xiao's viewpoint.
"While this power is formidable in Douzhan, it has been reduced to a mere technique and has failed to evolve into a true path."
"It can't even ward off basic diseases or achieve immortality; this power is truly useless."
Wukong himself felt that the ki system of the Dragon Ball World was just average. No matter how strong this power was, it was at most at the level of a single universe, which is below the level of Golden Immortal, and he couldn't even defeat some Heavenly Immortal were proficient in the Great Dao.
No matter how strong your Qi is, what can you do against powerful beings who directly distort the laws of the world, or even directly modify the laws of life energy?
It's important to understand that even Wukong himself pursued the path of Dao of Battle. Techniques like the Seventy-Two Transformations and the Vajra Indestructibility were all used to protect his path.
If a cultivator puts the cart before the horse and blindly pursues the power of techniques, they will ultimately be unable to attain the Great Dao.
Of course, there are some exceptionally talented individuals with extraordinary luck who can forge new paths, but such individuals are extremely rare.
"Yes, but there's no rush. Once we reach the Kami's Lookout, I will teach you another kind of power, one that can touch upon the principles of the Dao. Combining the two, I hope it will bring you something new."
Xu Xiao comforted Wukong for a couple of minutes and then continued towards the Kami's Lookout.
"Understood. Following you, brother, will allow me to learn a lot and broaden my horizons. It's much more interesting than learning from a master in the mountains."
Wukong replied, his eyes filled with joy.
Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Xu Xiao's eyes, but he didn't say anything more.
The monkey's greatest causal link, besides Buddhist Sect, is Subhuti. If it weren't for Subhuti's intervention, Subhuti would be the person the monkey is most grateful to.
Currently, the biggest cause and effect in the monkey's case are two: one is connected to Xu Xiao's own body, and the other is connected to the Buddhist Sect.
In the Dragon Ball World, Xu Xiao's clone is also bound together by increasingly dense causal threads.
' Bodhi, oh Bodhi, I know which one you are the incarnation of the Three Corpses, but that doesn't mean I'll let go.'
'The connection between the monkey and me is growing ever stronger. Even if you reveal your true identity later, you won't be able to pull him back into the Western Sect's camp.'
Xu Xiao had already met Subhuti, and even knew from snippets of conversation with Laojun and other beings that Subhuti's position as the Monkey King's master was unchangeable.
Through various means, he preemptively seized the identity of the monkey as the enlightener, planting the seeds in order to guard against the future undermining of the Western Sect.
If the other party were to bring up Subhuti and try to influence him through their master-disciple relationship, the monkey might actually feel like he's being used and manipulated.
On the contrary, he had spoken frankly with the monkey early on, and then took him on a journey through the heavens and the world, establishing karmic connections with the reincarnations of different monkeys.
It's like a spider spinning a web; it may seem like a thin layer, but it's incredibly dense and intricately wrapped.
As long as he continues to deepen his causal connection with the monkey, he will eventually make that connection the monkey's most important bond. In that case, the God of Battle will definitely stand on Xu Xiao's side.
Xu Xiao always considers things carefully before taking action. Bringing the monkey along not only increases their mutual strength but also deepens their karmic connection.
"Once we reach Kami's Lookout and meet the Planet Namek Celestials, I will study the principles Dragon Ball. Then, Wukong, you can follow my plan and completely change this world."
"Since it is a world of Martial Dao, it cannot be the exclusive domain of any one person or thing. Rather, it should be a grand celebration for all worlds, a feast where all living beings can equally benefit."
"Only with enough living beings participating can enough powerful beings be born, and you will be able to enjoy the thrill of battle with sufficiently strong warriors."
Upon hearing this, the monkey's eyes shone even brighter, and a strong fighting spirit rose within it.
As someone who knew about Xu Xiao's plan, even though Xu Xiao's behavior was somewhat arbitrary and domineering, it was still acceptable to Monkey.
There should never be a single way of doing things. This approach, which allows all living beings in the world to enjoy the same opportunities, is the kind of immortal that Wukong admires.
Xu Xiao's idea was simple: to give most people the opportunity to come into contact with Qi, while lowering the threshold for cultivating Qi, and radiating outwards from Earth to other star systems, so that the entire Universe 7 could enter a golden age of Martial Dao arts.
"Wouldn't that be enough to reverse the course of this world and acquire enough Power of Variables?"
