Chapter 13: Yu Monkey King
"Is this the state of Huaxuhedao?"
Li Anran closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and felt the changes in every part of his body.
The improvement of cultivation brings about an overall growth of spirit, energy and vitality, and the breakthrough to a higher realm is a qualitative change brought about by a quantitative change.
But this is just an external manifestation!
The real inner, core and most important gain is the understanding of immortality!
If the cultivators at the realm of Refining the Spirit and Returning to the Void only have a vague concept of becoming immortals, then the cultivators at the realm of Transforming the Void and Combining with the Tao have already found the way to becoming immortals and know how to become immortals!
but……
"This is of no use to me! It would be better to spend 100,000 experience points and get 10,000 back!"
Li Anran opened his eyes with disgust on his face.
Before, he said to Chen Yang in the Heavenly Prison, "I am the person who has the most self-awareness," and it was not a lie!
He is indeed such a person!
In his previous life, when all his friends and classmates were madly competing for financial freedom in the big city, he decisively chose to go home and lie down. He then took advantage of the opportunity to reap his first dividend from Tik Tok and became a well-known video blogger, never having to worry about food and drink.
In this life, when it comes to cultivation, he is also very self-aware.
He traveled across from Blue Star and knew nothing about cultivation.
My previous incarnation got a copy of "Yi Mu Jue" by chance, and spent more than sixty years cultivating to the second level of Refining the Spirit and Transforming the Void, but that was basically the end of it.
The two of them together are not even one-tenth, or even one-hundredth as good as Monkey Yang Jian!
Only by making good use of the system can he have the opportunity to change his fate and look down on all the others!
Li Anran did not waste time on how to become an immortal. This was not a problem for him at all.
A thought came to my mind.
The book of punishment for evil turned to the page of King Yuxiong.
Li Anran stared at the image of King Yu Monkey.
It was a golden monkey with round eyes, thick lips, red eyes, long tail, and covered with golden-red fur. It looked well-behaved and cute, and was far from being as brutal and ferocious as the real-life King Yugoslavia, which was chilling .
A few seconds later, the life story of King Yuxiong appeared in his mind.
Dongsheng Shenzhou.
A place with high mountains.
A golden monkey was running hurriedly through the forest, looking back from time to time with a nervous and terrified expression, as if something terrible was chasing it.
At the same time, it kept looking down, as if looking for something.
Soon, its eyes lit up, and it jumped down from the tree, picked some black mushrooms at the roots, and smeared them on itself.
Then, he crawled into a bush.
A moment later, two figures floated past overhead.
A human with a bull's head holds a steel fork, and a human with a horse's head holds a chain!
The golden monkey curled up into a ball, not daring to make any sound.
It waited until dawn before it breathed a sigh of relief, its face filled with joy.
Release your clenched left hand.
A spot of light fell to the ground and turned into a translucent old monkey.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak~”
The golden monkeys made bursts of calls as if seeking credit.
The old monkey also responded happily.
But, the next second.
A ray of sunshine shone on the old monkey.
The old monkey screamed and fell to the ground. His body seemed to evaporate like mist and became more and more transparent.
The golden monkey was so frightened that he was stunned.
When it came to its senses, it tried to block the sunlight for the old monkey, but it failed. It stretched out its hand to pull the old monkey under the shade of the tree, but failed.
The old monkey turned into specks of light and drifted away from between its fingers.
"squeak!!!!!"
The golden monkey screamed miserably, leaving behind two lines of blood and tears, and from then on embarked on a journey of seeking immortals and seeking revenge.
From Dongsheng Shenzhou to Nanzhanbuzhou and then to Xiniuhezhou, the golden snub-nosed monkey has experienced countless hardships and obstacles along the way, but has also learned a lot of things.
Hunting, craftsmanship, stealing, magic, martial arts, Taoism...
It is always able to keenly perceive the hidden desires in other people's hearts and use them to achieve its own goals.
It also encountered many dangers, but it always found a way to survive and escape from desperate situations.
It was not until a hundred years later that the golden monkey learned from its master that this was called "knowing yin and yang, understanding human affairs, being good at coming and going, avoiding death and prolonging life" and was an instinctive talent of it as a red-butted horse monkey.
At that time, the golden monkey already possessed the cultivation level of a celestial being. He occupied a mountain in Xiniu Hezhou and called himself the king. He considered himself to be one of the strongest men in the world and acted ostentatiously.
Until one day, it accidentally broke into a cave and was captured by the cave owner in a snap. Only then did it realize its mistake and started sweating coldly.
"It is fate that you have found this place. Sit down and listen to my sermon. It is up to you to understand how much you can."
"Thank you, Master!"
"Don't call me Master. There is no master-disciple relationship between you and me. Just call me Taoist Yan."
…
"Yan Daoist? Who is this?"
Li Anran widened his eyes, trying hard to see who this Taoist Yan was.
But he found that when he stared at Taoist Yan, he could see his face clearly.
However, once I move my eyes away, only a vague outline remains in my memory. Not to mention details such as eyebrows, eyes and facial features, I can't even remember whether the face was square or round.
However, what Yan Dao said was exactly what he had heard in the life of the black-scaled snake demon.
"…the one who is born with a thin stream of virtue and energy , so the coming of life is called essence, the collision of two essences is called spirit, the one that moves with the spirit is called soul, and the one that comes out of the human body with essence is called spirit…"
Li Anran didn't care what Taoist Yan looked like and was instantly immersed in Taoism.
At the beginning, Li Anran was so fascinated by what he heard that he felt every word tickled his heart and made him feel joyful and excited.
But gradually, he couldn't keep up. Often, when Taoist Yan said something, he would have to think for a while before he suddenly understood what he meant.
After that, he began to not understand, until it became completely incomprehensible.
Taoist Yan gave King Yuxiong three lectures in total, each lasting thirteen days. However, every time Li Anran could not listen any further and could not understand halfway through.
On the other hand, King Yu Monkey, who was standing aside, listened to the whole story from beginning to end.
It was not like the monkey that scratched its ears and cheeks and smiled happily when listening to Patriarch Bodhi's teachings. Instead, it just sat there obediently, not moving at all.
However, its eyes were shining like stars, and it was obvious that it had gained a lot.
By the time Taoist Yan finished his last sermon, his cultivation had directly broken through to the Xuanxian realm, leaving Li Anran dumbfounded.
King Yu Monkey was immersed in the sorrow of Taoist Yan's departure. He kowtowed three times before reluctantly leaving.
Afterwards, King Yuxiong returned to the place where he was born in Dongsheng Shenzhou, that is, Yingbo Mountain, and used the method of "capturing spirits and sending generals" to turn all the mountain gods and lands within a million miles of Yingbo Mountain into his own people.
As a result, it successfully gained a foothold in Dongsheng Shenzhou, and more than 300 years later, it became sworn brothers with the Bull Demon King, the Monkey King and others, and was known as the "Seven Great Sages".
When the monkeys made trouble in Heaven, King Yu Ape wanted to send troops to help. But before he could lead his troops to the Flower-Fruit Mountain, the monkeys had already been recruited and became the Monkey King of Heaven instead of the demon clan!
From then on, the Ape King and the other five great saints severed all ties with the monkeys.
Later, Yingbo Mountain was wiped out by Yang Jian, and King Yuxiong and his men were all captured and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.
"It turns out that Yang Jian secretly unlocked the seal on King Yuxiong's vision. No wonder all the heavenly soldiers and generals who made eye contact with King Yuxiong were affected."
Li Anran understood the whole story and didn't care.
Qiu Yin can plot against Yang Jian, so Yang Jian can naturally fight back against Qiu Yin!
It’s just a pity for those heavenly soldiers and generals. They were caught in the crossfire of the fight between the big guys!
Li Anran sighed for a moment and then entered the life of King Yuxiong again!
His understanding in both of his lifetimes combined is not as good as King Yu Monkey’s!
But, King Yuxiong could only listen to the sermon once!
He could listen to it countless times!
Until you figure it out!
