Chapter 23: Ye Fan, This Kid Has Been Smart Since He Was Little

Journey to the West: Starting by Joining the Chat Group, Main Text Volume, Chapter 23, Ye Fan, This Kid Has Been Smart Since He Was Little. Covering the Sky Plane, a refined villa in a certain city, a casual Mercedes-Benz parked outside, and dim light faintly spilling from the study inside the villa.

"The four directions and the vertical are called the universe; from ancient times to the present, it is called the continuum!"

"Dare I ask the heavens, are there Immortals?"

Ye Fan sighed and slowly put down the "little yellow book" in his hand.

Since childhood, Ye Fan had been obsessed with tales of gods and monsters, always feeling that Immortals existed in ancient times. Unfortunately, there was no evidence, and he could only slowly unearth traces of the existence of gods and Immortals in ancient texts.

Having graduated only a few years ago, Ye Fan had already achieved success and fame, possessing a listed company, as well as luxury cars and mansions.

If life were a game, Ye Fan felt he had already cleared it; there was absolutely no difficulty at all?

The more this was the case, the more he became obsessed with ancient Immortal legends and ancient Qi Refiners, hoping to embark on a path of Immortal Cultivation that would defy the heavens and rise up, fighting against heaven and earth.

Unfortunately, this was reality after all; where could there be so many gods and Immortals?

However, it was precisely at this moment that Ye Fan received an invitation from the Chat Group.

After closing his eyes to digest the information, a look of ecstasy immediately appeared on Ye Fan's face, and he muttered to himself:

"Chat Group, Heavens and Myriad Worlds? Could this be my Immortal Fate?"

"Perhaps my own world has no gods or Immortals, no Qi Refiners, but that doesn't mean they don't exist in other worlds."

After joining the Chat Group, Ye Fan was excited, but in order to be steady, he felt he needed to be a bit cautious and see what kind of backgrounds the group members had.

Chat Group.

Playboy: "Hey, I was just discussing the philosophy of life with a model, and just like that, I joined the group? Everything must have a goal, a purpose. So, what is the purpose of the Chat Group pulling us in?"

Demon Queen: "What other purpose could there be? Leek-cutting, obviously!"

Diviner: "Morgana, don't talk nonsense, what leek-cutting. Those who can join the group are all Sons of Destiny; even if they aren't protagonists, they aren't far off!"

Playboy: "So I, Tony Stark, am a protagonist, although I have always thought so. By the way? @Diviner, are you the Group Owner?"

Diviner: "Of course, I am the Group Owner."

Playboy: "Group Owner, tell me, what talents do you have... uh, skills! Otherwise, I feel I could do this Group Owner job myself."

Diviner: "..."

Yan Shuangying was speechless; every time, there were always newcomers who wanted her to abdicate, to take her position as Group Owner.

Last time it was Morgana, this time it was Tony Stark.

Spring and Autumn Sword Deity: "Newcomer, this position is still best left to the Group Owner."

Demon King Who Never Suffers Defeat: "The Group Owner is terrifyingly powerful, capable of crossing planes and knowing the past and future."

First Extraordinary Woman of the Yin-Yang School: "Although sometimes she's inaccurate."

Journey to the West Scripture Seeker: "Eating melons!"

Demon Queen: "Xuanzang, stop eating melons and come over to me, the Queen; I have whatever you want to eat."

First Extraordinary Woman of the Yin-Yang School: "Xuanzang Sheng Seng, don't listen to this female hooligan; she's always plotting against you."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Weakly asking, is Xuanzang Sheng Seng that famous Sanzang Master from Journey to the West?"

At this moment, Ye Fan, who had already understood the group members, spoke up.

He finally saw a familiar name in the Chat Group.

Demon Queen: "Yo, newcomer, you actually know Xuanzang!"

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "That's natural, Xuanzang Sheng Seng is a famous person, the protagonist in Journey to the West, with three disciples under him, all of whom have vast supernatural powers, and finally, after experiencing the Eighty-One Tribulations, he attained Buddhahood and eternal life."

Journey to the West Scripture Seeker: "It is me, and it is also not me!"

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "?"

Diviner: "There are ten thousand worlds, and thus ten thousand Sanzang Masters; every world is different. Journey to the West is also just one possibility among ten thousand Journey to the West worlds."

Demon Queen: "Newcomer, is there a possibility that the Xuanzang in the Chat Group has heaven-defying strength and is very good at fighting!"

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Is that so? Xuanzang Sheng Seng, can I follow by your side and learn spells? They don't need to be too profound, as long as I can attain longevity."

For Ye Fan, as long as he could cultivate immortality, any method would do, not to mention that the other party was the famous Xuanzang.

Establishing a connection with Xuanzang was equivalent to establishing a connection with Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie.

If the relationship were even better, it might be difficult with Sun Wukong, but getting some supernatural powers from Zhu Bajie was not impossible.

Demon Queen: "Damn, you kid, I think you've got it; just joined the group and you already know how to hug a big thigh, and the thickest one at that."

Journey to the West Scripture Seeker: "I only know a little bit; as for spells, I have never practiced them, only some body-tempering methods."

Xuanzang was not deceiving Ye Fan; he truly had not practiced supernatural arts, only improving his magic power through the most basic exercises.

If there were suitable supernatural arts, he wouldn't mind teaching them to Ye Fan; after all, this guy was also a huge potential stock.

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Body-tempering methods are fine too, I'm not picky."

Ye Fan's heart blossomed with joy; he hadn't expected Sanzang Master to be so easy to talk to, truly a Holy Monk.

Could the body-tempering methods in the Mythical World be ordinary methods?

Spring and Autumn Sword Deity: "Curious, this old man also wants to know Xuanzang Sheng Seng's body-tempering method."

Extraordinary Woman of the Yin-Yang School: "Me too!"

Yan Shuangying didn't speak, but she was equally curious.

This was the secret to Xuanzang's strength; if one could learn it, wouldn't one soon be invincible in the world?

Journey to the West Scripture Seeker: "Since everyone is so curious, I'll say it. It's actually very simple: maintain a hundred-kilometer run every day, do appropriate strength training like weightlifting and weighted exercises. Then do some core training, push-ups, sit-ups, hitting the fly... and so on! As long as you persist every day, you should have powerful strength."

Spring and Autumn Sword Deity: "Uh..."

Diviner: "..."

Demon King Who Never Suffers Defeat: "..."

First Extraordinary Woman of the Yin-Yang School: "..., why would the Holy Monk deceive me!"

Playboy: "Hahaha, that's it! That's too ridiculous!"

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Perhaps it is because of the differences in the world's environmental rules that the same cultivation methods yield different results."

Ye Fan said this, and could only comfort himself in this way.

Sect Master of Yunlan Sect: "That makes some sense."

Little Fairy of Peach Blossom Island: "As a newbie, I dare not speak; I am just lurking."

Scripture Seeker of Journey to the West: "Do not be discouraged; success comes naturally with effort. Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei, although this poor monk has not seen you with my own eyes, I feel that you are a person of great perseverance. Your talent must not be poor, and in the future, you may have other opportunities to achieve a great and extraordinary undertaking."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Many thanks, Holy Monk!"

He only thought it was Xuanzang's comfort; in a world with Absolute Heaven and Earth Connection and no spiritual Qi, other than following the routine until death, there should be no miracles happening.

Diviner: "On this point, this Group Owner stands with Xuanzang Sheng Seng. Ye Fan's future is indeed extraordinary; among those present, apart from Xuanzang Sheng Seng, there should be no one who can compare to him."

Demon Queen: "What, you cowardly Group Owner, are you looking down on this Queen?"

Diviner: "It is not looking down, Morgana. The limit of your Super God Civilization is just that much; the potential is too small. However, Ye Fan's future opportunities are the true miracle."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Group Owner, do you know my future?"

Seeking recommendations and monthly votes, ha.
