Chapter 7: Is It Not Excessive to Become a Great Luo Golden Immortal in One Year?

Journey to the West: Starting by Joining the Chat Group, Main Text Volume, Chapter 7, It's Not Excessive to Become a Great Luo Golden Immortal in One Year, right? Cultivation has no concept of time; in the blink of an eye, ten thousand years have passed.

As if!

In the Chat Group Cultivation Space, having no idea how long he had been cultivating, when Xuanzang woke up from his state of epiphany, he only felt his entire body light and airy, as if his soul might slip out from his crown at any moment.

Xuanzang sensed his current realm: the mid-stage of Refining Void and Combining Dao.

Immortal Cultivation realms: Refining Essence into Qi, Refining Qi and Transforming Spirit, Refining Spirit into Void, Refining Void and Combining Dao, and ascending to become an immortal.

Generally, becoming an immortal only happens upon successfully undergoing Tribulation Transcendence; if one fails, one can only switch to cultivating the Loose Immortal Fruit Position.

A normal immortal Fruit Position is an Earth Immortal; above Earth Immortal, there are Mysterious Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, and Great Luo Golden Immortal.

"With my talent, and then reasonably utilizing external forces, it's not excessive to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal within a year, right?" Xuanzang muttered to himself.

If one wants to have a say in the grand scheme of the Journey to the West, the minimum strength required is that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Otherwise, one can only be led by the nose, unable to act of one's own volition.

Just like his future disciple Sun Wukong, who was known as the Great Saint Equal to Heaven, but the result was that he was targeted by Buddhism from the moment he was born and was played with the whole time.

Although he eventually became the Victorious Fighting Buddha, presumably Wukong must have been very depressed after realizing the cause and effect later on.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have lived in seclusion on Mount Emei after becoming a Buddha; to know Sun Wukong's state of mind after becoming a Buddha, just look at the monkeys on Mount Emei and you'll know what it was like.

Later, even if Sun Wukong wanted to resist, facing the three giants of the Heavenly Court, Taoism, and Buddhism, it was of no use.

"Calculating the time, the Xuanzang in Journey to the West should set off on the westward journey at around twenty-four or twenty-five; I am only eighteen now, so there should still be a few years of development time. But I cannot slack off just because there are still a few years left; perhaps a change will occur in the future, and the Journey to the West might be moved up."

Xuanzang prepared for danger in times of peace, feeling that for now, he must prioritize improving his strength.

It's just that the current cultivation function of the Chat Group is not infinite cultivation.

It has a three-month cooldown period.

For the Mythical World, three months is a fleeting moment.

But for him, who urgently needs to improve his strength, three months is indeed a bit long, but fortunately, he has more than one cheat.

The Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence System basically allows him to increase his magic power every day after completing basic training tasks; perhaps in three months, he will already be at the late-stage perfection of Refining Void and Combining Dao, and at that time, with the help of the Chat Group's cultivation function, he might be able to break through his realm and ascend to become an immortal.

"Ding, detected that the host's strength has improved to a new realm, the Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence System has opened a new task: Do One Good Deed a Day."

Just at this moment, the voice of the Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence System suddenly rang out in Xuanzang's mind.

This was the only time the system had actively sent a prompt since it awakened eighteen years ago.

Compared to the voice of the Chat Group, the voice of the Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence System was much gentler.

After all, in Xuanzang's heart, the artifact spirit of the Chat Group felt like a profiteer.

"System, what is 'Do One Good Deed a Day', and what are the rules? Are there extra rewards?" Xuanzang asked immediately.

"Do One Good Deed a Day, as the name implies, is to do good deeds. Do one good deed every day, and after completing the good deed, you can randomly obtain a reward; the content of the reward is uncertain," the Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence System said.

"What if I don't do it?" Xuanzang asked.

"No reward if you don't do it; this task has no mandatory attributes," the Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence System said.

"You are quite humane; a system like you has limitless future achievements and will definitely be able to grow big and strong," Xuanzang said.

"Many thanks for the compliment," the Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence System replied with something outside of the task for the first time ever.

This actually made Xuanzang feel curious; he had always felt that the Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence System should be an intelligent, programmed existence.

But just now, he felt this system was unusual.

"System, tell me, why did you choose me?" Xuanzang switched to chat mode.

The Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence System did not answer.

"Is it a conspiracy? Or do you think I am the Son of Luck?"

"By the way, since you are bound to me, aren't you afraid of being discovered by Great Abilities or Saints?"

"Also, is your system race carbon-based life or...?"

After asking several questions in a row, the Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence System disappeared again, not replying a single word.

Seeing this, Xuanzang stopped asking.

After all, you can never wake up a system that is pretending to be asleep.

"Do One Good Deed a Day, I can't do good deeds while staying on the mountain, right? No, I must go down the mountain! Going down the mountain means getting past the Old Monk, which seems to be a dead loop..." Xuanzang fell into deep thought.

"Ga ga ga~"

Outside the meditation room, a heroic and high-spirited crowing sound came.

This was the mountain chicken raised in the temple, which would crow punctually every morning.

Hearing this, Xuanzang discovered that the sky outside the window was turning a fish-belly white; clearly, it was dawn.

Wearing a gray-white monk robe, Xuanzang walked out of the meditation room and began his daily routine.

First, naturally, was the diligence task of the Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence System, which was physical training.

First was running twenty laps around the small dilapidated temple; the temple wasn't large, one lap was only a few hundred meters, and twenty laps were about the distance of a marathon.

For Xuanzang's current strength, this was a piece of cake; in the blink of an eye, dust was flying, and he finished it in one minute.

Next were two hundred push-ups, two hundred squats...

After finishing a set of exercises, if he didn't deliberately suppress it with magic power, Xuanzang only felt his whole body steaming, every pore opened up.

Xuanzang felt the monk robe was in the way, so he took it off directly and ran to the water well to pour a basin of cold water over himself from head to toe.

The icy water droplets slid down his head onto every inch of his muscle and skin, constantly dripping onto the ground, smashing out a symphony full of power.

Just then, the sun rose, and the golden morning light draped a shimmering divine armor over Xuanzang.

Coupled with Xuanzang's movements of lifting the stone blocks used for training, up and down, his body with its even and smooth muscle lines looked full of exquisite artistic beauty.

The Old Monk walked out of the meditation room, looking at Xuanzang who was exercising, looking at Xuanzang's perfect physique, which was like a vigorous tree full of vitality, and then looking at himself, he felt like a pile of rotten wood...

"Xuanzang, you practice every day, what is the use? Can practicing muscles make you a Buddha? It would be better to put your mind on Buddhist scriptures; you are really wasting your talent," the Old Monk said, a sour smell inexplicably drifting in the air.

"Master, you don't have muscles, but I do. Furthermore, life lies in movement; it's easy for monks to get 'three highs' if they sit all day."

"Look at Tathagata Buddha again, with his fat head and big ears; one look and you can tell he doesn't exercise and has excessive nutrition."

Xuanzang quickly lifted a stone block up and down with one arm, then did one-finger push-ups, and then push-ups without using his hands.

The Old Monk was speechless; as he grew older, Xuanzang had become increasingly arrogant, daring to even discuss the Buddha without a shred of reverence for the Buddha.

He couldn't help but say: "Xuanzang, three feet above your head dwell the gods. The Buddha is listening to what you say."

"The Buddha says: all living beings are equal, Master! The Buddha shouldn't be so petty as to hold a grudge, or else that would be meaningless, and I would just return to secular life," Xuanzang said.

"You have nothing but twisted logic." The Old Monk cast a Byakugan at him.

"By the way, Master. There is one more thing; I am going down the mountain, and this time I am serious."

Xuanzang said, slowly lowering the stone block from his legs while finishing his no-hand push-ups, his physical strength and magic power increasing by a notch, his realm slowly growing closer to the late stage of Refining Void and Combining Dao.
