Chapter 545 -545 Life Core Condensation (3rd Update!)

The Guiding Daoist thus settled down at Flower-Fruit Mountain. Trapped for years, his Origin Power had been greatly depleted. Although his cultivation had not declined, he could only exert half of his full strength. To fully recover to his peak condition, it was necessary to replenish the lost Origin Power completely.

After discussing with the Guiding Daoist for a while, Leng Xuan let the Guiding Daoist enter the ninth layer of the Heaven-Piercing Tower to cultivate.

Most of the Guiding Daoist’s Origin Power had been drained by the Stellar Aura Chains, and the spiritual energy from nature that was transformed from the stellar spiritual qi within the ninth layer of the Heaven-Piercing Tower was most abundant, effectively replenishing the Guiding Daoist’s lost energy.

Sun Wukong had always been able to sense what was happening in the outside world, including the conversations between Leng Xuan and others and the Buddha. He had heard everything clearly, but at the moment, it was a critical time for the Life Core to condense. He could not forcefully take back control of his physical body, otherwise, if the Life Core’s condensation was interrupted, there was no telling when he would get another chance to condense it again.

The announcement from the Western Heavenly Buddhist Sect had caused some disturbances in the Three Realms for a while, but Flower-Fruit Mountain made no response to it. The rumored incarnation of the Buddha’s evil thoughts did not appear, and the Great Sage Equalling Heaven Sun Wukong had not shown himself either. The Buddhist Sect also did not break out in any large-scale conflicts with the Demon Clan as they had declared to the world. The affair gradually faded from the eyes of the world.

Five years flashed by.

In the secret chamber on the ninth layer of the Heaven-Piercing Tower, Sun Wukong’s body had been absorbing the spiritual energy from nature transformed from the stellar spiritual qi. The Life Core within his Ocean-Pill Palace slowly transitioned from a gaseous state to liquid and then to a solid crystal state, and on this day, it finally condensed into a complete crystal.

Hum~!

An unusual spiritual power burst forth from the Life Core, instantly spreading out, enveloping tens of thousands of miles around Flower-Fruit Mountain within its reach.

“Is this what it feels like to become a Saint?”

Sun Wukong was shocked to find that he could feel everything within tens of thousands of miles clearly; this sensation was similar to when he released his Heaven-Breaking Domain, but the Heaven-Breaking Domain at most could reach a hundred miles around—ten thousand miles was unprecedented for him!

At this moment, it was as if Sun Wukong became the absolute sovereign within these ten thousand miles; every being within this domain was under his control. With just a single thought, he could determine their life and death. It was indeed astounding.

Sun Wukong initially wanted to savor this feeling, but it was fleeting and vanished quickly. Sun Wukong also regained control of his physical body and awoke from the coma that had lasted over five years.

“That sensation just now was really amazing!”

Rolling off the bed of ten-thousand-year-old cold jade, Sun Wukong opened his eyes, and a gleaming light flashed across them. His entire body emitted a series of crisp popping sounds, like peas bursting.

Clenching his fists, Sun Wukong felt a strength he had never experienced before. It was something he had never encountered in the past!

His cultivation was still at the Half-Step Saint Realm; he had not officially stepped into the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm. The Life Core had indeed condensed into a form, but it had not fused with the Star Core. Sun Wukong was still a distance away from Proving the Tao and Becoming a Saint.

However, this distance was no longer insurmountably far as it was before; it was now within reach. All he needed was enough Merit and Destiny, and Sun Wukong could merge the Life Core with the Star Core into one, becoming the Dao Core, and thus completely Proving the Tao and Becoming a Saint, formally stepping into the Primordial Taiji Da Luo Gold Immortal Realm!

In a cultivation room not far from the secret chamber where Sun Wukong was located, the Guiding Daoist suddenly opened his eyes and stopped cultivating. He had just sensed a familiar spiritual fluctuation, which signified someone Proving the Tao and Becoming a Saint. Had someone in Flower-Fruit Mountain Proved the Tao and Become a Saint?

“But that’s not right, the Heavenly Dao showed no reaction; there shouldn’t be anyone who has Proved the Tao and Become a Saint, so what was that spiritual fluctuation just now?”

Divine Sense ventured out, probing beyond the Heaven-Piercing Tower, but no image of Attainment of Saint was found. The Guiding Daoist frowned in confusion, what exactly was going on?

Wait, could it be that the fluctuation just now was… Sun Wukong?

Rising to his feet, the Guiding Daoist walked out of the room and made his way to the chamber where Sun Wukong was staying. Just as he was about to knock on the door, the door of the chamber opened, and Sun Wukong stepped out.

“Wukong, young friend, you’ve finally awakened!”

A sharp glint flashed in the eyes of the Guiding Daoist; Sun Wukong’s cultivation was still at the Half-Step Saint Realm, yet his bearing seemed completely different from five years before, as if imbued with a mysterious and profound essence. The Guiding Daoist was certain that the spiritual fluctuation just now must have been released by Sun Wukong, indicating he must have made some tremendous progress!

“Amitabha, it seems your injuries have also healed completely! Congratulations!”

A golden light flashed in Sun Wukong’s eyes as his Void-Breaking Divine Eye swept over the Guiding Daoist. He began to smile, seeing that the current Guiding Daoist was like a completely different person compared to the past, abounding with Divine Primordial Qi, his strength restrained yet ready to be unleashed, giving Sun Wukong the impression he was facing a figure like the Leader of Tongtian or the Puti Patriarch.

The once first person of the Western Cult had returned!

“This is all thanks to the rescue by young friend Wukong from the Sukhavati Realm; otherwise, how could there be today?”

The Guiding Daoist gave Sun Wukong a formal bow, “Amitabha no longer exists in this world, and I have long since resumed my original title as the Guiding Daoist. From now on, Wukong, you can just call me Guiding.”

“Oh? Is there some hidden story behind this?”

Sun Wukong’s eyebrows raised in curiosity. Why would the Guiding Daoist abandon the title of Amitabha to retrieve his original title? Wouldn’t that mean he intended to completely cut ties with the Buddhist Sect?

Amitabha shook his head and carefully explained how the Western Heaven Spiritual Mountain had released a statement to slander him, claiming he was an evil incarnation released by Sun Wukong’s chaos in the Spiritual Mountain, and how he had decided to forsake the Buddhist Sect to return to the Taoist Sect.

Sun Wukong suddenly understood: “So that’s how it is! Hah, the Buddha really is shameless enough to concoct such a blatant lie!”

After a pause, Sun Wukong laughed again, “Well, that’s even better. After all, the Buddhist Sect is nothing but a haven for filth and corruption. Abandoning it is no loss. We who pursue the Great Dao of heaven and earth need not cling to one sect or another. The name Guiding Daoist brother is much more pleasant to hear than Amitabha!”

“Most excellent!”

The Guiding Daoist nodded with a smile and began to inquire about the strange spiritual fluctuation from before.

“Guiding Daoist brother, you felt it too?”

Sun Wukong was a bit surprised. Indeed, experience comes with age, and no slight movement could escape the notice of an old and powerful Saint like the Guiding Daoist. He then proceeded to tell the Guiding Daoist everything about his current cultivation state.

“Three Corpses Unite with the Dao to become a Saint? Wukong, young friend, what grand ambitions you have!”
