Sun Wukong looked at the Southern Continent Jambudvipa and quickly calmed his heart.
He felt that the Escape Skill passed on by his senior brother must be incredibly powerful and was merely a test of his comprehension.
After all, his senior brother seemed to be a very cautious person.
But now that he had suddenly arrived here, what if someone discovered him? Wouldn't his trump card be exposed?
Especially since he had just started, and he was not too familiar with the brothers of the Three-Star Guan—what would happen if someone found out he had left?
"I must be careful with whatever senior brother wants me to do, and my brothers should also be more cautious!"
With that thought in mind, he hurried back to the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave.
Activating Wind Escape, he vanished from the spot in an instant.
Whoosh!
The entire Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave underwent a tremendous transformation.
Endless spiritual energy swept through, altering everything.
Many disciples cultivating within felt something at that moment, but they could only sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy without knowing its source.
In the depths of the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave, Patriarch Bodhi's eyes narrowed before opening them wide.
"Whose cultivation level has improved? To actually stir the nature's spiritual energy around!"
Patriarch Bodhi held his horsetail whisk, his fingers performing intricate movements.
After a while, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Not good. With the Journey to the West Calamity approaching, Heaven and Earth are obscured, unobservable. But never mind, as long as it's not Sun Wukong causing this, there is no need to worry!"
Patriarch Bodhi shook his head.
As the Calamity of Measurement descended upon Heaven and Earth, even he began to lose the ability to calculate the changes.
However, as Sun Wukong was under Wang Yang's guidance for cultivation, he believed there would be no accidents, since Wang Yang was his first disciple and he was very clear about his potential.
He had encountered Wang Yang by chance back then, precisely for this day.
So he was quite at ease.
...
"Ding, the host's imparted Escape Skill, Wind Escape, due to Sun Wukong's insight into the Chaos Wind Escaping Technique, synchronization in progress!"
"Ding, congratulations to the host for acquiring the Chaos Wind Escaping Technique!"
At this moment, Wang Yang, still sitting cross-legged and diligently cultivating, suddenly heard the notification sound in his ear.
Wang Yang was startled, then a trace of joy appeared.
He had not expected that by imparting a cultivation technique to Sun Wukong, it would actually feed back to him, which was a great boon.
But then, recalling that Sun Wukong had so easily comprehended the Chaos Wind Escaping Technique, he couldn't help but feel astonished.
Although he knew Sun Wukong had extraordinary talent, did it have to be this impressive? This was enough to make anyone envious to death, wasn't it?
Could he still be Sun Wukong's senior brother?
He himself had taken five days just to practice Wind Escape, not to mention improving its power was unthinkable.
Yet Sun Wukong had just started practicing Wind Escape and in only a few days, elevated it to the level of Chaos Escaping Technique.
The Five Elements Escaping Technique was derived from the Chaos Five Elements Escaping Technique.
As for why the Five Elements Escaping Technique became popular, it was mainly because the Chaos Five Elements Cultivation was too difficult, and the Five Elements Escaping Technique was easier by countless times—in simple terms, the Five Elements Escaping Technique was a simplified version of the Chaos Escaping Technique.
Its power, naturally, was much weaker.
"Could it be because of the Nine-Turn Profound Art?"
A flash of spiritual light crossed Wang Yang's mind as he quickly thought of the Nine-Turn Profound Art.
The Nine-Turn Profound Art is one of the oldest cultivation techniques, with many other techniques derived from it; it is naturally possible to use this technique to derive others.
With Sun Wukong's insight, it was not at all surprising for him to elevate Wind Escape to the Chaos Escaping Technique.
"By changing Sun Wukong's destiny with cultivation techniques, you've received a Cultivation Method Bonus Enhancement, doubled."
Wang Yang was startled, then joy appeared on his face.
"It seems that in the future, I'll need to teach Sun Wukong more about cultivation techniques and Divine Skills!"
Wang Yang thought to this point, activated the Nine-Turn Profound Art within his body, and discovered the speed of circulation had doubled. Previously, a complete cycle would take an hour, but now only half an hour was needed.
The increase in his mana had also accelerated.
The realm he had just broken through to, the Initial Phase of Earth Immortal, had also improved.
...
At this moment, within the Ultimate Bliss World of the Western Direction.
Within the Mount Sumeru Pure Land.
Amitabha Buddha and Zhunti of the West, two Saints, sat facing each other.
They gathered the aura of The Great Dao around them, seemingly blending with heaven and earth.
Right at this moment, both of them suddenly opened their eyes.
It seemed as if they sensed something simultaneously, both opening their eyes at the same time, a strange light shining within them.
"It seems that my elder brother has also felt it. Sun Wukong seems to have undergone some changes!"
Zhunti slowly started speaking.
"Amitabha Buddha, junior brother, the Calamity of Measurement is approaching. This is an opportunity for the flourishing of our Buddhism. We cannot allow any mishaps!"
Amitabha Buddha slowly stated.
"Of course!"
Zhunti nodded, they had planned this for a long time, from the Sorcerers and Monsters Calamity, the Divine Enthronement Calamity to now, Buddhism had grown stronger step by step.
The rise of Buddhism was decreed by the will of heaven, unchangeable by anyone.
However, preparations still needed to be made, not allowing for any accidents.
Zhunti did not say much more, muttering to himself.
With a wave of his hand, spiritual light appeared in abundance between heaven and earth, followed by the trembling of the void, transforming into a whirlpool.
A figure walked out.
It was Patriarch Bodhi.
Being the Good Corpse of Zhunti, he had a unique connection with Zhunti. Although his cultivation level was not very strong, merely a Quasi-Saint, he could traverse heaven and earth.
"Fellow Daoists, may I ask what brings you to summon me?"
Patriarch Bodhi made a formal greeting and spoke politely.
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for formality. In truth, there's nothing too urgent. My elder brother was just curious about how Sun Wukong has been faring under your care. Is he safe and sound?"
Zhunti nodded, speaking calmly.
Amitabha Buddha also gave a slight bow.
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Bodhi showed an expression of realization and then said with a smile,
"I have entrusted Sun Wukong to my disciple Wang Yang. He was the first disciple I took in at the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave. His talent is mediocre, after following me for so long, he has only reached the peak of Human Immortal, and only recently has he reached the Initial Phase of Earth Immortal!"
After hearing this, both Amitabha Buddha and Zhunti also revealed a smile on their faces.
It seemed that the small changes they had sensed in Sun Wukong weren't worth mentioning after all, and they had been overly concerned.
"Nonetheless, fellow Daoist should still pay close attention to Sun Wukong, for as the Calamity of Measurement approaches, the power of heaven and earth is obscured. There is little we can investigate, so I hope there will be no change that comes about!"
Zhunti nodded and continued speaking.
"Fellow Daoist, rest assured. The flourishing of Buddhism is also why I went to the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave. I certainly won't let anything go wrong!"
Patriarch Bodhi nodded, speaking earnestly.
Amitabha Buddha also nodded, his face that bore a hint of bitterness now showing a touch of a smile as he spoke, "Then we shall trouble fellow Daoist, and we can be at ease!"
"It's nothing, as Sun Wukong is inherently full of unpredictability. This time when I return, I must start teaching him Daoist Techniques as soon as possible to prevent him from exceeding our expectations!"
Patriarch Bodhi nodded.
"We'll leave Sun Wukong's matter in the hands of fellow Daoist!"
Zhunti nodded.
"Then we shall indeed trouble fellow Daoist!"
