Chapter 33 Lion and Camel King(1/2)
On this day, a monkey and a bear flew towards Jintuo Island.
Jin'ao Island is a famous island in the Western Sea. It is said that it was formed from a small fragment of Jin'ao Island after the Conferred God War.
However, this is just a rumor and has not been confirmed to be true or false. It is just an association caused by the fact that there is only one word difference between Jin'ao Island and Jin'ao Island.
"Brother Monkey, you have also become a true immortal...er, a heavenly immortal, why don't you hold a banquet in Taixu Heaven to ascend to immortality?"
Because Sun Wukong's breakthrough time was too fast, Xiong Ba's mind was still a little confused and he thought that his senior brother was still a true immortal. Fortunately, he came to his senses.
In just a short time, senior brother has easily crossed two great realms.
Thinking about myself, I am still struggling in the Hedao realm, which is really disappointing.
Today's Xiong Ba has already changed his mentality.
In the past, he had a peaceful mind. Even when King Teng Long broke through to become a true immortal, he actually didn't feel much envy. He was just a little fascinated by the realm of true immortals.
Because the realm of true immortality was too far away from him at that time, just like ordinary people who had enough food and clothing, they did not dare to ask for the luxurious food and clothing of princes, generals and ministers.
But when you see someone around you who has successfully ascended to the position of prince and witnessed all this with your own eyes, no matter how good your mentality is, you will be shaken.
And Xiong Ba has also established his own goal, which is to achieve Taoism at all costs.
"Ascension Banquet?"
After hearing what the brown bear monster said, the monkey smiled.
When you have just become a heavenly immortal, you want to hold a banquet to ascend to immortality. If you become a golden immortal, then that's okay!
Master also often said, "If you don't say anything, you will create your own troubles." There is also a saying in the sage scriptures that "full recruitment will harm the modest and benefit you." There is no need to publicize the matter of cultivating immortals.
So the monkey said: "Others hold a banquet to ascend to immortality because they have only set their sights on true immortality in their lifetime. We, who possess magical powers, should have great aspirations and not be short-sighted."
These words made the brown bear monster suddenly feel a little bitter, and he couldn't help but say: "Senior brother, have you ever thought about it, I, the old bear, can't hold the Immortal Ascension Banquet even if I want to..."
After glancing at the brown bear monster, perhaps recalling the discomfort of being stuck in the bottleneck, the monkey took the initiative to speak: "I will follow Master's teachings, how difficult is it to become an immortal? I, the old Sun, was also an ignorant hozen back then. I followed Master's advice and became an immortal just now.
Once you have an epiphany, your foundation is not bad. You have a master to guide you in your practice. It is only a matter of time before you become an immortal. Why should you envy King Teng Long?"
"makes sense."
Xiong Ba nodded.
Ever since he heard his master talk about the benefits of cultivating the Tao of Wine, he has become full of confidence in his practice.
For many people, as long as they are given a hope...a goal to strive for, they will fight for it unremittingly.
It is also commonly known as painted cakes.
But drawing a cake also requires skills. It is not to force the other party on, but to convince the other party that as long as you firmly believe in your goals, you will be able to achieve success.
The pie you draw should not be big, vague, or unrealistic.
Like in Journey to the West, Guanshiyin also drew big cakes for the four Buddhist scripture seekers respectively, telling them to take refuge in the good fruit and become a Buddhist scripture seeker. After going to Mount Sumeru to learn the Buddhist scriptures, they would be able to achieve the true fruition.
This big cake was very fragrant, and even if the journey was difficult and dangerous, it gave the four people who learned the lesson a great spiritual support.
Zhou Xuan's method of painting cakes is also adapted to local conditions and is based on Guanyin Bodhisattva.
It’s just that Xiong Ba didn’t know about it.
"However, my old Sun Tianxian's cultivation is a bit eye-catching, so I'd better cover it up a little."
Sun Wukong suddenly said.
When I first met Teng Longwang, he was just an ordinary Hedao monster. In the blink of an eye, more than a month later, he had broken through to the level of a heavenly immortal, which seemed very unreasonable to outsiders.
In addition to teaching him the Sage Sutra, his master also imparted to him extremely important ways of being a human being.
This way can be summed up in just one word.
It’s ‘gou’.
In other words, be cautious.
In short, be careful in everything, restrain your impulses, don't be so conspicuous in front of others, and focus on being low-key.
Although Sun Wukong feels that he can explain the Great Way of Gou, it is still not easy to operate in practice. He has to master a certain degree, that is, he should not act too weak and be bullied by others, nor should he act too strong to avoid being too strong and easy to break.
So under Xiong Ba's surprised gaze, the monkey's aura weakened crazily as if it had been pricked by a needle, and in the end it looked like he was only in the realm of a true immortal.
"Brother, this..."
Xiong Ba was stunned, he didn't expect to be able to conceal his aura like this.
"Little Doyle, no wonder."
Sun Wukong waved his hand. After mastering the Sage Sutra, he also understood many small techniques, and concealing his aura was just one of them.
As for lowering his breath to the true fairyland, he also had his own considerations.
Among the guests invited to the banquet by King Tenglong, I think there were many people with the same realm, that is, true immortals.
Otherwise, when a true immortal invites a group of inferior Hedao practitioners to his guests, it will only make people laugh.
Therefore, the guests invited by King Tenglong should include a considerable proportion of true immortal monks.
If he showed the realm of immortals, it would naturally be a bit shocking. If he showed the realm of harmony, he would be inferior to others and could easily cause trouble.
Be low-key, but not too low-key.
Otherwise, it will be like a dog emerging from a pack of wolves. It will not keep a low profile, but will attract people's attention.
As for how he broke through to become a true immortal in just one month, this is not something that King Teng Long should ask. Even if he asked, he could evade it by saying that his skills are special. King Teng Long is a smart man. Knowing that you don’t want to answer, he will not continue.
Keep asking.
"Oh, oh." The brown bear monster nodded in agreement. What he was thinking about was that when he cultivated the path of wine, he would also show off in front of the monkeys.
After leaving Taixu Tian and flying for about two hours, the two demons were still floating on the sea.
The Western Sea is very large, but Sun Wukong and Xiong Ba have not practiced any escape skills, so they cannot fly very fast.
Not long after, I saw dark clouds ahead.
This kind of black cloud is not formed naturally, but is caused by the power of monsters.
Above the black clouds, there are five or six monsters, some are lions, some are rocs, some are dragons, some are bears. They are dressed in different styles, but their auras are calm, and they are not ordinary monsters.
The monkey took a closer look and saw that each of these demons was in a true fairyland.
"How could a demon king appear in this western sea area?"
The brown bear monster was surprised.
You know, a Hedao realm monster like him can already dominate one place and can be regarded as a monster with a name.
There are really not many monsters in the real fairyland.
Because most of the monsters are casual cultivators, they have no masters, no skills, and their magical powers are only the innate magical powers brought from the mother's womb since birth. How easy is it to become a true immortal?
Those who can cultivate into true immortals can be called Demon Kings in the Western Sea Region.
These demon kings either have the guidance of experts, or they have good blood and rely on the power of blood to become true immortals. Such people are also fierce.
After all, there is no skill to cultivate to become an immortal, which is also called a demon immortal. Immortal power contains a lot of impurities, and it is more difficult to go further than to reach the sky.
After becoming an immortal, the physical body and soul are solidified, and it becomes more difficult to temper the demonic power again. Therefore, most demonic immortals can only linger around the level of true immortals throughout their lives.
But regardless of whether there is guidance from an expert or not, it is unusual for so many demon kings to gather together.
Monsters are not like humans. They are not bound by moral concepts. They only care about being like each other. If they disagree, they are likely to fight.
King Teng Long is friendly to monsters, which can only be regarded as an exception.
Moreover, although King Tenglong is not from the Xihai Dragon Palace, he has the blood of the dragon clan and is related to the Xihai Dragon Palace, so he also has the background of the Dragon Palace.
It is not unusual for any big force to extend favors to little monsters like them. After all, sometimes the Dragon Palace also needs to recruit some monster kings to pay for their lives.
However, if the big demon kings know each other, it's okay. If they don't know each other and they visit rashly, they will either compete for territory or treasures, and a bloody battle will probably break out between the two parties.
Even a simple and honest monster like the Brown Bear Monster was full of hostility when he saw Sun Wukong coming to his mountain for the first time.
And he is still just a Hedao realm monster.
The relationship between the demon kings is even worse. Today's prehistoric environment is harsh. Every demon that can cultivate to the level of a demon king has its own abilities and occupies good places in the four continents. Let alone visiting and making friends with each other.
Not fighting life or death is considered unusual.
These demon kings were dressed in different clothes. They obviously came from all over the world, and there was basically no possibility of them visiting them.
Sun Wukong was very smart and said with a smile: "It should be the banquet of King Tenglong to ascend to immortality. Many people were entertained, including the demon kings from other provinces. It is indeed a Dragon Palace, it is really a good show."
It was just a Dragon King's Immortal Ascension Banquet, but so many demon kings were invited. It was quite a grand event.
King Teng Long may have acknowledged the weakness of the Dragon Clan in his heart, but things like good face are engraved in the Dragon Clan's bones.
The leader is a lion-headed demon with shiny fur all over its body, glowing golden, wearing heavy armor with golden scales and a red cape, looking majestic.
This beast's cultivation is even more extraordinary. It has reached the peak of the Heavenly Immortal, and seems to be only one step away from the Golden Immortal.
This is no ordinary demon king, he is definitely a great demon that even forces like Dragon Palace want to win over.
"Let's go over and have a look."
