Sun Wukong's words had made Jiang Liu silently roll his eyes. Although his fearless nature was commendable, excessive boldness could turn into arrogance.
Sun Wukong was at level 81, akin to a Golden BOSS and had reached the status of a Daluo Golden Immortal, just as Ksitigarbha had reached the level of a Daluo Golden Immortal.
However, their Cultivation Levels differed vastly.
Having leveled up through battling monsters, Jiang Liu had reached level 59 and gained a substantial understanding of Cultivation Levels and their implications.
Battling monsters yielded Experience Points, and accumulating enough Experience Points would lead to leveling up and becoming stronger. According to the system of the Journey to the West Mythical World, Experience Points were essentially equivalent to Cultivation Level.
Sun Wukong was correct earlier when he said that he pursued a path of cultivation through killing; the more he killed, the stronger he became.
