My Senior Brother is Too Steady-Chapter 735: The Stone Monkey Is Born!

Chapter 735: The Stone Monkey Is Born!

How should I teach the monkey well?

Li Changshou returned to Fangcun Mountain and began to think about that deep question.

For that, he specially went to the mortal world to take a look and visit the craftsman who played the monkey. He received some enlightenment and had many thoughts.

The stone monkey was definitely living beings with abundant spirituality and were far superior to humans.

It had no parents and was born from a stone embryo. It could worship the Goddess of Nuwa as its mother and become a strange living being that did not enter the Three Realms.

Li Changshou actually respected the stone monkey.

The Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal…

How heroic and reckless must he be to call himself that?

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. A newborn stone monkey is not afraid of the Dao Ancestor.

If he wanted to teach the Monkey, he had to start from two aspects.

One was to maintain his nature, while the other was to teach him the ability to fight.

The Mysterious Technique that Li Changshou liked the most was naturally the Eight-Nine Arcane Art. However, the Eight-Nine Arcane Art was currently a cultivation technique that protected the Dao Sect. It was only spread within a small range of the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School.

In name, he could not obtain such a cultivation technique.

Also, the mystical abilities of Monkey’s 72 Transformations, the Somersault Cloud mystical ability, and the Reinforced Iron Bones had to reach the “mysterious” level before Monkey could deal with all kinds of disasters in the future.

Li Changshou had never thought of making arrangements and plotting against the monkey. He wanted the monkey to maintain its nature.

However, Li Changshou calculated and considered various situations.

In terms of combat power,

According to Yang Jian’s combat strength at the end of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, Yang Jian’s strength would definitely increase after hundreds of years.

When the monkey wreaked havoc in the Heaven Palace, he should be on par with Yang Jian.

If the monkey was born and lived freely in the Huaguo Mountain for decades, it would take at least two to three hundred years for the monkey to convert his spiritual energy into Dharma powers and fight with Yang Jian in the future.

That speed was already the limit.

After all, no matter how high a monkey’s comprehension was, it could not rely on epiphanies to cultivate like him.

If he could not obtain the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, what should he teach the monkey?

Li Changshou naturally had more than ten ideas to teach him about the technique of plucking feathers and blowing monkeys. Monkeys also needed to cultivate over time.

After thinking about it carefully, this question was really troublesome.

Why not create some prenatal education?

Li Changshou pondered for a while and felt that he could use this opportunity to figure out the Dao Ancestor’s background and see what solution the Dao Ancestor could give.

Therefore, he sat in the Bodhi Residence of the Crescent Tristar Cave and pondered for a few months. He sighed and said loudly, “Please tell me how to teach my disciples, Heavenly Dao.”

In the Purple Cloud Palace, the burly Daoist frowned slightly. He revealed a hint of disdain and pointed at Fangcun Mountain.

In front of the Void Bodhi, wisps of treasure light surrounded it and condensed into three jade talismans.

Li Changshou stood up and bowed. He sighed and said, “Thank you, Heavenly Dao.”

Then, he held the jade token in his hand and looked at it.

When he looked at the first jade token, Li Changshou chuckled in his heart. He realized that the method that the Dao Ancestor had given him was still focused on his essence soul and comprehension. He wanted the Void Bodhi to help the monkey build a powerful body.

It was a simple and direct cheat.

The technique was called the Great Way of Immortality Art. This “Heaven Immortal” did not mean the Heaven Immortal realm, but the Immortal of Heaven.

With this technique, he could cultivate to the Golden Immortal Dao realm in a short period of time. If the monkey’s comprehension was better and the Heavenly Dao sent more insights, it would not be a problem for him to reach the Zenith Heaven in a few hundred years.

However, there was one thing. This technique was a speed success technique. The Great Dao it carried was the Dao of Combat.

This was a relatively vague concept. This Great Dao was born for fighting. Its main purpose was to let the living beings in the world fight endlessly. It had a mystical effect of getting stronger the more they fought.

The disadvantage was obvious. Apart from fighting, he would not have any other insights.

There was no improvement in the quality of the Qi Refinement cultivators.

The Dao Ancestor had given him a solution. He had saved himself some effort. At most, he would leave some backup plans that would be beneficial to Monkey.

When he opened the second jade token, the Void Bodhi’s expression did not change. However, Li Changshou cursed in his heart.

What?

What is it?

The 72 Transformations—72 Transformations. They could be transformed into plants, insects, stones, and living beings. They were indeed treasures to avoid calamity.

What Li Changshou could not accept was that the transformation incantations and cultivation techniques were the same as the modified transformation technique that he had imparted to Yang Jian, Ling’e, and Long Ji in the straw hut of the Little Qiong Peak!

It was a replica of the transformation technique that he had studied back then!

Isn’t the Dao Ancestor too much? He directly plagiarized the insights he had written in the jade token!

It was even for free! The kind that did not even greet him!

Grass referred to a type of plant.

Li Changshou cursed in his heart, but he could only mutter in his main body’s heart. The Void Bodhi’s Dao heart was calm and even a little happy.

The third jade token contained many powerful mystical abilities, such as the Diamond Iron Bone (a version that was enhanced with the Heavenly Dao), the Heavenly Aspect, the Five-Element Art, the Somersault Cloud, and so on.

As a supplement, Li Changshou would also teach Monkey some skills in fighting. Those were not decided by cultivation techniques.

For example, there were methods to deal with the situation after being surrounded by the burly men. There were also the methods to quickly sense the weakness of the array formation. There were also techniques to recover strength in fights of magical powers. There were also the methods to instantly kill in close combat.

They were all precious battle experience.

Of course, he had to subtly teach these things. He could not just organize them into a book.

It would be a huge loss if the Dao Ancestor suspected him because of such a small matter.

In front of the Heavenly Dao, Li Changshou began to think about the three jade talismans and cultivated their internal energy techniques one by one. He carefully comprehended and comprehended them. He even added some “void” Great Dao.

The burly old Daoist priest in the purple bamboo forest was quite satisfied.

In the past few years, the Buddhist Sect had begun to preach. They accepted disciples and conferred titles to Bodhisattvas and Arhats.

Due to the fact that Duobao was originally the Eldest Senior Brother of Jie School, the disciples of Jie School who had been sent back to the Western Sect by the Daoist guide were no longer limited to the Great Dao of Du Ren and the God Banner.

There were many experts among them.

In particular, the power of living beings in the world had dropped again because of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. The Saints did not appear, and the mighty figures had retired. Even the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals dared to call themselves experts. The strength of the spiritual mountain could not be underestimated.

After circling around, the Heavenly Dao prophecy of the Western Sect’s prosperity was about to be realized.

The disciples of the Saints who had been fighting were either dead or injured.

The world was unpredictable, and so was the Heavenly Dao.

Before reaching the last step, no one knew who would be the final winner.

In Fangcun Mountain, the Void Bodhi revealed a peaceful smile. He closed his eyes and sensed the Great Dao of the world. His mind seemed relaxed, but he was actually constantly in a nervous state.

If he persisted, the day of retirement would not be far away.

In the tenth year of the Buddhist Sect’s establishment, the East Ocean was filled with multicolored light for months. Strange phenomena appeared near the Huaguo Mountain.

The demons seemed to have sensed something. Most of the lesser demons avoided the Huaguo Mountain, while the greater demons looked at the area where there were the most phenomena.

There was a huge array there. It was unknown what treasures were hidden in the array.

An old demon said that ever since they discovered the Huaguo Mountain, that place was a forbidden area. Mysterious Dao runes surrounded it, and they would be frightened when they approached.

“A few pieces of news accompanied the glow and spread among the demons.”

“A peerless demon king will appear in Huaguo Mountain. It can lead the demons to the next glory.”

“The peerless demon king of the Huaguo Mountain is no small matter. It has long been wrapped in the power of a Saint. It should be a scheme of the Saint.”

“The peerless demon king of Huaguo Mountain is a divine general nurtured by the Heavenly Courts. He descended to the world to destroy the demons.”

The more the news spread, the more mysterious it became. There were also bold demons who entered the fog.

However, he did not return. His Life Soul disappeared.

That incited the demons to spy on them. They secretly captured a few human Qi Refinement cultivators with low cultivation levels and let them investigate inside. They also let the Qi Refinement cultivators leave behind a wisp of their Life Soul.

However, when the Qi Refinement cultivators entered, their Life Souls instantly dissipated.

A corpse was even thrown out. There was a line of golden words written on it.

The demons retreated and did not provoke the spirit embryo.

It was a Buddhist mark. Just eight words and a mark made the experts of the demon race tremble in fear.

After a short discussion, the demons decided to temporarily avoid the Huaguo Mountain to observe the future.

Finally, the glow of the Huaguo Mountain flickered for 179 days.

The earth veins in the Huaguo Mountain had trembled a few times. The group of Mountain Ape Spirits that had been left behind by the Ape Clan and had yet to gain sentience did not understand.

…

Heavenly Courts, Lingxiao Hall.

The Jade Emperor sat quietly on the throne. He had not moved for hundreds of years.

He was indignant and stubborn.

In fact, the Jade Emperor knew that as long as he submitted, as long as he lowered his head, the chains on his body would dissipate. He could wear white and yellow robes at will.

He was number one in the Heavenly Dao Echelon. His cultivation level was at the perfected Zenith Heaven realm. Apart from killing him directly, the Dao Ancestor would also give him a huge crime in the circulation of the Heavenly Dao. Another Heavenly Emperor would not be able to touch him.

Why did he resist Teacher?

Actually, it was not that he was resisting. He was just a little indignant at his teacher’s ruthlessness in handling some matters.

He was the living being closest to the Heavenly Dao.

His authority was bestowed by the Dao Ancestor, who also gave him the position of the current ruler of the Three Realms.

The ruler of the Three Realms…

The Jade Emperor laughed self-deprecatingly in his heart. However, due to the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao, he could not make any expression.

He was just a Dao Ancestor’s doll.

How is Changgeng doing in the Chaos Sea? He had previously said that he has a way to live in the Chaos Sea. I’m still a little worried.

Sometimes, the Jade Emperor thought that if Daoist Duobao shouted that the Heavenly Emperor had rebelled and stood up against the Heavenly Dao, would there be another situation today?

However…

In the end, he had too many troubles, too many implications, and too many things to worry about.

Senior Brother Taiqing had actually tried to resist his teacher. However, he could not separate his teacher from the Primordial World.

Teacher is already the will of the world.

As the “spokesperson” of the will of the world, it would not have any decisive effect on opposing the world. However, it would cause the world to suffer an even greater calamity.

That would be a huge battle where the Heavenly Dao would overturn living beings.

Because most living beings could not survive after leaving the world, the living beings were destined to lose. They had to compromise with the Heavenly Dao.

Apart from Changgeng, no one knew the Heavenly Dao better than the Jade Emperor.

He actually knew what the Dao Ancestor wanted to do. Before the Great God-Conferment Tribulation began, he had already seen the God-Conferment script.

In fact, he did not go to the Purple Cloud Palace to complain because he, the Heavenly Emperor, had been ignored by the disciples of Jie School and Chan School.

More importantly, he had seen too much. He wanted to change, but he could not. He felt too depressed.

Sometimes, the Jade Emperor would even think that if Changgeng sat in his position, would he be able to counter his teacher?

Of course, that was just wishful thinking. He could not decide if he would abdicate or not, and the next Heavenly Emperor.

Jade Emperor, Child Hao Tian…

How ironic.

He and the Queen Mother were Connate lifeforms born from the Heavenly Dao. They were supposed to be the executors and protectors of the Heavenly Dao!

Forget it, it’s useless to say that.

Changgeng has done so much for the Heavenly Courts. In the end, he was just exiled.

Changgeng was right. If I want to be a Heavenly Emperor who protects living beings, I have to learn to control his selfish desires and maintain sufficient rationality. He has to find a balance between the Heavenly Dao and living beings.

Now that the Three Realms were sealed, the Dao Ancestor unleashed the power of the Heavenly Dao’s Origins and turned it into a world barrier, sealing Changgeng’s “escape” outside the world…

Previously, he had cleansed the Nine Polluted Springs and made the negative karma in the world leave the world.

A world without variables and calamities that could exist forever was built just like that, right?

Ridiculous…

How laughable!

“Your Majesty.”

A soft voice sounded from the side. The kind-looking, thin old courtesan bowed with the dust and said warmly, “It’s time to summon the gods for a meeting.”

The Jade Emperor opened his eyes. They were a little listless. He said calmly, “Summon.”

“Yes.”

The old courtesan agreed and flicked his horsetail whisk. A melodious bell sounded outside the Lingxiao Hall.

Not long after, immortal light flew over from various parts of the 33 Layered Heavens. They turned into officials and generals. They lined up in front of the hall and walked with their heads lowered.

When the hundred orthodox gods arrived, the old courtesan beside the Jade Emperor called out. The gods lowered their heads and bowed to the Jade Emperor.

“Greetings, Your Majesty.”

“Rise,” the Jade Emperor said slowly and completed most of the “work” of the court.

Under the management of the Taibai Jinxing, the legitimate gods on duty in the Hall of Enlightenment talked about the trivial matters of the Three Realms recently. Most of them were the changes in the four seasons, the rainfall, and the general situation of mortals living, aging, and dying.

There were also immortal gods offering memorials. The courtesan read them one by one and picked out important matters for the gods to discuss.

The entire court was still quite lively and the efficiency was not low.

The Jade Emperor would occasionally say a few more words. They were all related to governing the Three Realms.

Today, a general issued a decree and recommended several Heavenly Generals to officially enter the Apotheosis Stage.

The Jade Emperor looked at the memorial and saw a familiar name.

It was Youqin Xuanya.

The Jade Emperor said directly, “Let’s list General Youqin Xuanya as a legitimate fourth-rank god. She will receive the salary of a third-rank legitimate god. She has the right to lead troops and become a god of the War Division. From now on, she will be in charge of guarding the Moon Palace.”

Many immortals below were stunned.

The courtesan smiled and said, “Your Majesty, are you suddenly promoting me like this…”

“Yes?”

The Jade Emperor swept his gaze to the side. Old Tai Bai hurriedly lowered his head.

“Can my words not be counted?”

“Your Majesty, please forgive me. You have the final say in the Heavenly Courts.”

“Go and do it.”

The Jade Emperor snorted and threw the memorial in his hand onto the jade table. “I’ll also give General Youqin Xuanya the Demon-Slaying Divine Sword. I’ll let the Horse Disciple find a few pegasi and the Jade Pool to give them immortal clothes and immortal peaches.”

General Dongmu hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, you should at least give General Youqin some credit.”

“I like her. Isn’t that enough?”

The Lingxiao Hall immediately fell silent. The gods kept quiet. The old courtesan lowered her head and accepted the order. She held her horsetail whisk and jogged away.

The Jade Emperor said calmly, “Continue the meeting.”

The gods accepted the order and returned to their previous rhythm. Many immortals and gods were still letting their imaginations run wild. Those who knew the truth knew that the Jade Emperor was just expressing his dissatisfaction with the Heavenly Dao and protecting Youqin Xuanya.

The Heavenly Dao did not need to deepen the conflict with the Jade Emperor because of the ordinary Golden Immortals whose memories had been modified.

Halfway through the court meeting, Youqin Xuanya had already received a large number of rewards and was given a new residence.

Youqin Xuanya was puzzled. She stood up and looked at the Lingxiao Hall. She did not know why she had received so many rewards. She thought that she would go to the Lingxiao Hall and ask the Jade Emperor to take back his orders.

Suddenly, a seven-colored ray of light appeared in the world. It shone from the East Heavenly Gate and broke through the layers of the sky palaces and rushed towards the Lingxiao Hall!

In the Lingxiao Hall, the Jade Emperor frowned. He thought that the Heavenly Dao was warning him.

However, when the Jade Emperor smashed the jade case, he shouted, “What dares to shake the power of the Heavenly Courts?” He stood up and was about to fight the Heavenly Dao when the Clairvoyant and “Wind Accompanying Ears” (Shunfeng’er) rushed over from outside the hall.

“Report…”

“A ray of light shone from the East Ocean and shook the Netherworld of the Heavenly Courts!”

East Ocean?

The Jade Emperor felt a little puzzled. He carefully sensed the situation of the Heavenly Dao’s operation and realized that the light was not a warning from the Heavenly Dao.

He had misunderstood his teacher once.

“Yes!”
