Chapter 655 Great Celestial Immortal Technique!
Chapter 655 Great Celestial Immortal Technique!
Upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, a strange light flashed in Bodhi Patriarch's eyes.
But he didn't speak; instead, he continued to look at Sun Wukong, seemingly waiting for him to continue.
Sun Wukong paused for a moment, then continued, "Those people said... that I, Old Sun, would one day wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace, be imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain by Buddha, and then follow a monk named Tang Sanzang to the Western Paradise to retrieve the scriptures, eventually becoming the Victorious Fighting Buddha. They also said a lot of other things... I, Old Sun, don't believe it, so I came tonight to find my master to verify it."
This time, Patriarch Bodhi remained silent for a long time.
He looked at Sun Wukong, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
After a moment, he slowly spoke, "Wukong, that chat group is both an opportunity and a calamity for you. The opportunity lies in the fact that you can learn about other worlds and meet other powerful people through it. The calamity lies in the fact that the karma on your body has already connected with other worlds through that chat group. That great calamity is probably also related to that chat group."
Sun Wukong was terrified: "Master, what should I do? Should I leave that chat group?"
Bodhi Patriarch shook his head: "The cause and effect have already occurred, and you cannot escape it. The only thing you can do now is to become stronger, strong enough to cope with any calamity."
Bodhi Patriarch looked at Sun Wukong, his gaze gradually becoming stern: "Starting tomorrow, I will teach you real skills: the Seventy-Two Transformations, the Somersault Cloud, the Law of Heaven and Earth... I will teach you everything I know, but remember, these skills are not for you to cause trouble, but for you to save your life."
Sun Wukong nodded emphatically: "Master, don't worry, I, Old Sun, will definitely study hard!"
Patriarch Bodhi sighed and waved his hand: "Go, and remember, don't tell anyone what I said tonight."
Sun Wukong stood up, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Master, I, Old Sun, will remember this."
He turned and walked out of the room, gently closing the door behind him.
Back in his room, Sun Wukong stopped thinking about those things and instead focused his mind, glancing at the chat group in his mind.
The group chat was quiet at this moment; no one was speaking.
He hesitated for a moment, but still didn't send a message and logged out.
The next morning, before dawn, Sun Wukong arrived at Patriarch Bodhi's training room.
Bodhi Patriarch was already waiting for him there.
"You're here?"
Bodhi Patriarch glanced at him and spoke calmly.
Sun Wukong nodded, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Master, I'm here. You said you would teach me your true skills, and I can't wait."
Bodhi Patriarch smiled slightly, stood up from the futon, walked to Sun Wukong, and touched his forehead.
"--puff!"
A golden light entered Sun Wukong's brow, causing countless pieces of information to flood his mind.
"This is the Great Celestial Immortal Technique, the most superior cultivation method of our Taoist school. Mastering this technique will grant immortality, allowing one to live as long as heaven and earth."
The voice of Patriarch Bodhi rang in Sun Wukong's ears: "From today onwards, you shall cultivate according to this technique without any slackening."
Sun Wukong closed his eyes, sensing the information in his mind, and was overjoyed.
This cultivation method is many times better than the rudimentary methods he had practiced before.
He seemed to see the path to immortality.
"Thank you, Master!"
Sun Wukong opened his eyes, clasped his hands in thanks, and said.
Patriarch Bodhi nodded and continued, "Besides the cultivation techniques, I will also teach you several supernatural abilities. The first one is the Seventy-Two Transformations. This technique allows you to transform into all things, including birds and beasts, flowers and trees, mountains and rivers—you can do anything!"
"The second technique is the Somersault Cloud. With this technique, you can travel 108,000 li in one somersault, moving as fast as the wind, and no one can match you."
"As for the third gate, it is called the Law of Heaven and Earth. By using this technique, you can transform into a giant ten thousand feet tall, standing tall between heaven and earth, with boundless strength..."
The Patriarch Bodhi recounted several supernatural powers in one breath, each one an earth-shattering skill. Sun Wukong listened with great excitement, wishing he could begin learning them immediately.
"Master, when will I, Old Sun, begin my studies?"
Sun Wukong asked impatiently.
Patriarch Bodhi smiled and said, "Let's begin now."
In the days that followed, Sun Wukong seemed like a completely different person.
He no longer indulged in playfulness and laziness as before, but instead cultivated himself day and night.
During the day, he followed Patriarch Bodhi to learn supernatural powers, meticulously studying every move and technique.
In the evening, he would sit cross-legged and meditate, cultivating the "Great Celestial Immortal Technique" and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
His progress was astonishingly rapid.
He mastered the basics of the Seventy-Two Transformations in just seven days, and could transform freely within a month.
He only learned the Somersault Cloud technique for half a month, and he could travel 30,000 li in one somersault.
The method of "Heaven and Earth in Manifestation" was a little difficult, and it took him two months.
He can now transform into a giant hundreds of feet tall.
Cultivating the "Great Celestial Immortal Technique" allowed his cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds, breaking through from the initial mortal stage to the Celestial Immortal realm in just three months.
Bodhi Patriarch, seeing his progress, felt both gratified and worried.
The good news is that this apprentice is indeed exceptionally talented and learns everything very quickly.
The worry is that the faster he learns, the heavier the karmic burden he carries, and the sooner that great calamity will likely come.
"Goku."
Bodhi Patriarch suddenly called out to Sun Wukong, who was practicing his martial arts.
Sun Wukong stopped and turned to look at Patriarch Bodhi: "Master, what's wrong?"
Patriarch Bodhi walked up to him, looked him up and down, and frowned, saying, "Have you noticed anything unusual during your cultivation lately?"
Sun Wukong thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I feel great, I'm full of energy."
Bodhi Patriarch sighed, reached out and placed his hand on Sun Wukong's wrist, sending a wisp of his divine consciousness into his body.
A moment later, he withdrew his hand, his brows furrowing even more deeply.
"Master, what happened?"
Looking at the expression on Bodhi Patriarch's face, Sun Wukong felt somewhat uneasy.
The Bodhi Patriarch said in a deep voice, "Your cultivation has improved too quickly, your foundation is unstable, and more importantly, the magical power within you seems to have decreased. This is perhaps the drawback of being too eager for quick success..."
Sun Wukong was taken aback: "Master, didn't you teach me the Great Celestial Immortal Technique? I should have enough magical power if I cultivate according to the technique."
Patriarch Bodhi shook his head: "The Great Celestial Immortal Technique is indeed a superior cultivation method, but you have not cultivated it for long enough, and the amount of magical power you have accumulated is far from sufficient. The Seventy-Two Transformations, Somersault Cloud, and Law of Heaven and Earth all require a large amount of magical power to activate. With your current magical power, using the Somersault Cloud a few times will drain all the magical power from your body."
Sun Wukong was dumbfounded.
He then realized that although he had learned how to use these supernatural powers, he did not have enough magical power to use them at all.
It's like having a peerless sword but lacking the strength to wield it.
