Chapter 732
Sun Wukong snorted, "Do you know immortals, or do I know immortals? Immortals have never been like they are in legends. Take this area, for example, there are many demons, right?"
The boy nodded.
Living in this world, he heard demon legends every day and was scared to death.
Sun Wukong pointed to a city in the west and said, "Dainichi Tathagata is in that city; why hasn't he collected the demons? Do you know?"
The boy was shocked and then shook his head repeatedly.
Sun Wukong then told him about the Westward Journey plan.
"For the sake of the Westward Journey plan, this Tathagata ignores the lives of the people; is this much different from the immortals you know?"
The boy fell silent.
In myths and legends, immortals are always saving the suffering.
But now, the young immortal says—immortals are stingy, immortals are cruel, immortals are indifferent, immortals are unscrupulous.
This impact was too great for him.
After a while, he believed it.
Sun Wukong carried the boy and flew away from the Mount Wuzhi area.
Even if the heavenly secrets were chaotic, Dainichi Tathagata couldn't possibly not feel such a big commotion here.
If he waited any longer, he was afraid he would run into Dainichi Tathagata.
Arriving in the city, Sun Wukong ordered a table of wine and food and ate slowly.
"After five hundred years, eating good wine and food again, it's really good!"
The boy came back to his senses and looked at Sun Wukong.
"Immortal, I don't know what you want to do by telling me these things?"
Sun Wukong chuckled, "You can enter Mount Wuzhi, which shows your aptitude is not bad. How about it, are you interested in being my disciple?"
"Can I do it too?" The boy was stunned, "I'm just an ordinary person."
Sun Wukong said calmly, "All living beings in this world are ordinary to me; what's the difference? You broke my seal, and your aptitude is not bad, so I am willing to teach you the cultivation method."
"Cultivate to become an immortal?" The boy was very moved, but also a bit afraid, "If I become an immortal, wouldn't I have to go to the Heavenly Court? At that time, I'm afraid I'll offend someone and be locked up."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," Sun Wukong shook his head, "Now the immortal-god killing tribulation is about to begin, and it's not certain who will be in charge of the future Heavenly Court. Perhaps the future Heavenly Emperor will be you, kid."
The boy was speechless.
He didn't even dare to think about becoming an immortal, let alone being the head of the immortals and gods.
"Kid, just say whether you are willing or not?" Sun Wukong asked.
The boy steadied his mind and said, "Disciple Lü Yan pays respects to Master."
"Good, good, good!" Sun Wukong was a master for the first time and felt very fresh. He pointed out and taught him the Celestial Immortal Dao, "Ask if you don't understand anything."
Lü Yan nodded, closed his eyes for a moment, and looked at Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong asked, "Is there anything you don't understand?"
Lü Yan was a bit embarrassed, "It seems there is nothing I don't understand."
"Nothing you don't understand?" Sun Wukong was stunned.
Although the Celestial Immortal Dao was explained clearly, what kind of person is Lü Yan?
He is just an ordinary herb-picker, maybe he doesn't even know how to read, yet he actually understood it all.
Sun Wukong didn't believe it and asked several questions in a row. Although Lü Yan didn't give standard answers, he gave similar answers based on his own understanding.
After listening, Sun Wukong was numb.
"Good kid, you are indeed extraordinary," Sun Wukong praised, "Eat first, then cultivate after eating."
With a thought, he opened the chat group.
Sun Wukong: "A big thing happened; I took a disciple, and he is actually a genius. I just taught him the Celestial Immortal Dao, and he understood it all."
Lin Daiyu: "No way? Even for me, I have to ponder for a while before I can say I understand. How long did he take?"
Sun Wukong: "Using the chat group's timing, it was five minutes."
Su Xiao: "Five minutes? Sister Lin, how long did you take?"
Lin Daiyu: "... I took fifteen minutes. The Great Sage's disciple is too genius!"
Hu Yifei: "By the way, Great Sage, what is your disciple's name?"
Sun Wukong: "Called Lü Yan, he is a herb-picker. He is the one who picked the lotus flowers on the top of the mountain and let me out, so I thought of teaching him cultivation."
Umaru: "Is the Great Sage becoming so good? If it were his original nature, wouldn't he eat the person who let him out?"
Sun Wukong: "... Am I that cruel?!"
Su Xiao: "If it were the original, it's possible."
Sun Wukong: "It seems that's true. However, I've been chatting with everyone recently and feel very happy; I'm not like I used to be."
Hu Yifei: "Wise living beings all need communication; locking someone up for five hundred years, how can that eliminate violent energy! The Great Sage has been chatting for so long, and the violent energy has decreased; this is the effect of communication."
A Zhu: "Lü Yan? I probably know why!"
Ningxiang: "I know too! Lü Yan, Lü Chunyang, one of the Eight Immortals of the Upper Cave. The Great Sage received a famous person as a disciple as soon as he took one."
Hu Yifei: "That's not right, I remember Lü Chunyang hadn't been born yet in this period?"
Zhang Taixuan: "Parallel world, historical events have all changed, let alone a person's birth and death."
Sun Wukong: "Is it Lü Dongbin, is he an immortal reincarnated?"
Zhang Taixuan: "I just deduced it; the Lü Yan on your side is not an immortal reincarnated, he just possesses a Pure Yang Body and has excellent aptitude."
Zhang Taixuan: "There is one more thing to congratulate you on; receiving Lü Yan as a disciple has increased your destiny by at least 10%."
Sun Wukong: "10%? He is just a mortal!! Old Sun has almost reached the Golden Immortal realm, and he can still increase my destiny by 10%; is he that terrifying?"
Zhang Taixuan: "Do you think just anyone can let you out? That he can enter Mount Wuzhi itself explains the problem. You used the Celestial Immortal Dao to cause changes in the world, and then someone let you out; don't you think it's too coincidental?"
Sun Wukong: "It is Heaven that let me out. And Lü Yan is a pawn of Heaven?" ===== CHAPTER 733 =====
