In Wang Yang's view, becoming a Taiyi Golden Immortal should be the best time for Sun Wukong to face his calamity, as his cultivation level would be strong enough to stand on his own.
If he became too powerful, it would be uncontrollable, so the Taiyi Golden Immortal is the best cultivation level.
Wang Yang knew this, but he wanted to see what Patriarch Bodhi would say.
"Your junior brother and your master's future plans are related. You don't need to know the specifics; this is a matter decreed by fate and cannot be changed!"
Patriarch Bodhi glanced at Wang Yang and spoke calmly.
The subtext was that he wanted him not to ask any further.
Wang Yang bowed respectfully and said, "As you command, teacher. But what if the junior brother still can't cultivate to Taiyi? What then?"
"Should that be the case, I will handle it myself. You just need to watch him closely and ensure that he does not relax or rest!"
Patriarch Bodhi stated calmly.
"Yes, teacher!"
Hearing Patriarch Bodhi's words, Wang Yang respectfully responded and then turned to leave.
"I hope there will be no more unforeseen incidents this time!"
Patriarch Bodhi spoke with a furrowed brow.
...
Outside the door, Sun Wukong was nervously waiting. After learning about Patriarch Bodhi's purpose in teaching him, he became worried about Patriarch Bodhi.
"Elder brother!"
At that moment, he saw Wang Yang coming out and anxiously approached him.
"Let's go, you need to focus on your cultivation and must not delay!"
Wang Yang said sternly, then took Sun Wukong and left.
Sun Wukong nodded in bewilderment.
Wasn't he diligent in his cultivation?
However, it seemed he had indeed not been diligent enough and still couldn't protect himself.
The two returned one after another to Wang Yang's Daoist Temple.
"Elder brother, I think Master he..."
"Master cares so much about you, telling you to work hard. Start cultivating now!"
Wang Yang interrupted Sun Wukong directly; Sun Wukong was taken aback.
But he quickly realized that he should not speak ill of the master, to avoid being discovered by him.
Seeing that Sun Wukong didn't speak further, Wang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this monkey indeed understands people's intentions, then activated the formation of his Daoist temple.
Although it couldn't block Patriarch Bodhi's investigations, it could still alert them.
And here, there was no need for Patriarch Bodhi to do so.
"Alright, some things, you just need to know, no need to speak them aloud, and now you need to focus on your cultivation!"
Wang Yang said sternly, as time was running out.
Although he had managed to delay a little, since Patriarch Bodhi had already acted this way, it was clear he could not wait any longer.
Probably even if the delay was extended, it wouldn't be for much longer.
"Elder brother, Master also taught me a Daoist Technique, and I think there's a problem!"
Then Sun Wukong spoke in detail about the issue with the Five Elements Daoist Law.
It was then that Wang Yang realized why he had received the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Technique.
Clearly, it was because Patriarch Bodhi had altered what he taught Sun Wukong, changing Sun Wukong's destiny.
"I have a Daoist Technique here as well, similar to the Five Elements Daoist Law; you can cultivate it too!"
Wang Yang said with a smile.
Imparting the cultivation technique to Sun Wukong would enable synchronization and elevate his Daoist techniques to the peak. It was truly a great benefit.
"Really?"
Excited by Wang Yang's words, Sun Wukong was now more eager to learn his senior brother's cultivation technique than even that of Patriarch Bodhi.
Not only was it powerful, but it also bore no selfish intent, making it the best choice for him.
"Of course, but I hope you cultivate diligently and do not let your senior brother's expectations down!"
"Naturally!"
Sun Wukong declared decisively.
Then, Wang Yang began to transmit the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Technique.
The Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Technique was an advanced version of the Five Elements Daoist Law and was much more powerful.
"Thank you, senior brother, for imparting this!"
Sun Wukong felt touched. He had hoped that his senior brother would eventually teach him more cultivation techniques, but he had not expected that after discovering issues with their Honorable Master's Daoist powers, his senior brother would immediately impart a technique to him, displaying truly high moral values.
Comparing the Honorable Master, who would only provide cultivation techniques upon completion, to his senior brother who directly imparted a more powerful Daoist law, there was simply no comparison.
"Just focus on your cultivation!"
Wang Yang left it at that and left the grand hall, heading to the back halls.
Having cultivated with Sun Wukong for so long, Wang Yang felt that the effort he put into his own cultivation wasn't as effortless as simply waiting for Sun Wukong's cultivation to synchronize.
Watching his senior brother's departing figure, Sun Wukong was incredibly stirred.
"Senior brother is really too good to me. I must cultivate diligently!"
Diligent cultivation was the only way to repay his senior brother's profound kindness.
Only by satisfying his senior brother could he learn more cultivation techniques and supernatural powers.
Sun Wukong then closed his eyes and began to contemplate.
"Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, no entity can escape Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. All beings are based on Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, and this cultivation technique is also based on the Five Elements!"
"Senior brother, I've grasped it!"
At that moment, answers appeared in Sun Wukong's mind, and his body became enveloped in the light of the Five Elements.
At the same time, the light of the Five Elements appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.
Suddenly, countless lights of the Five Elements converged, coalescing into Yin and Yang.
Sun Wukong's cultivation level started to surge drastically at that moment.
…
Meanwhile, beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, atop an endless Chaos in the void, a Daoist palace appeared amidst those chaotic mists.
The Daoist Palace was majestic and awe-inspiring.
Near the depths of the Daoist Palace, guarded by a Green Ox, in front of a massive pill furnace, an ancient-looking elder suddenly opened his eyes.
A flash of surprise flickered in his eyes.
"Someone has comprehended the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements so deeply? Impossible. Nowadays, the cultivation aptitude of the Human Race has declined, no longer possessing the innate Taoist bodies of the past, and today's cultivation methods are extremely weak, unable to lead cultivators to such profound understandings!"
The elder's eyes flickered with light, transforming with divine images, as if the creation of heaven and earth was manifesting within them. Looking up, it seemed as though he could see beyond the chaotic void above, where untouchable depths twisted with divine light, and a pair of eyes appeared to be penetrating everything.
After a long while, the light in the elder's eyes faded, replaced by a look of astonishment.
Now that the Calamity of Measurement was approaching, even he could not see through it.
The power of the Calamity obscured the celestial secrets, revealing a Chaos.
"It seems that with the onset of the Calamity, there will always be some unexpected individuals. During the last Divine Enthronement Calamity, my junior brother tried to protect Di Xin but ultimately failed. I wonder what surprises will arise this time!"
This was not just anyone; it was Laozi, the First Sage beneath Hongjun.
Tongtian, in search of a slim chance of survival, had joined forces with Di Xin to break through heaven and earth and stabilize the Human Emperor's position, but unfortunately, the great tide of heaven and earth could not be altered, and their efforts ended in failure.
And this time, it was uncertain what surprises would arise…
