Longevity by Grinding Skills

In essence, this Scripture was Miaodi Bodhisattva's deconstruction of the True Martial Demon Suppressing Scripture, infused with the protective will of the Buddhist Sect's Vajra Ming Kings, and created specifically to suit this body's Buddha Martial Dao Bone.

It could be considered a Superior Fighting True Skill tailor-made for Wukong, and it also serves to guide one toward the Great Compassion and Great Mercy Light Lotus Victory Zizai King Buddha Fruit Position.

As Sanzang guided him with Divine Thought, a silent Brahma Sound entered directly into Wukong's Sea of Consciousness: "This Scripture is derived from the True Martial Demon Suppressing Scripture, transforming the Black Tortoise into the Prison-Suppressing Ming King and turning Demon Subduing into the Fighting Buddha. It does not focus on external appearances, but only on cultivating the True Intent of an unmoving Vajra Heart and the might to annihilate all evil."

Although Sanzang currently possessed no Buddha Power, his understanding of the Buddhist Dharma was profound. Using the Heart-Sealing Heart transmission, the true meaning of the scripture washed over Wukong's Heart and Spirit like a mighty, enlightening torrent.

Whether it was the Dao of Vajra Giant Power from the "Twelve-Layered Buddha Power Golden Bell," the mountain-shattering, destructive might of the "Tathagata Divine Palm," or the spark of the Nirvana Fire of Buddha's Karma that ignited in his heart, capable of purifying all things—it all made his blood surge. The latent brute force and Dao Rhyme within his body had found their perfect outlet.

He felt an unprecedented sense of power and saw a clear path of the Dao laid out before him.

"Disciple... I understand!"

Wukong, unable to contain his excitement, bowed to Sanzang once more. The light of combat burned in his crimson, crystal eyes. "Thank you, Master, for imparting this technique!"

Sanzang nodded with a smile, his gaze once again falling upon the vast, boundless Eastern Wilderness Land below, which was shrouded in a demonic aura. His voice was magnificent and compassionate.

"My disciple Wukong, now that you have received this art and this treasure, you must understand the purpose of the Great Dao.

I have made a great vow: to travel the length and breadth of the Eastern Wilderness, to subdue its demons and devils, to sow the seeds of compassion, and to spread the Supreme Scripture. I will purify this demonic and ghostly land, establish an Earthly Buddha Country Pure Land, and welcome the descent of the Great Compassion and Great Mercy Light Lotus Victory Zizai King Buddha Fruit Position.

This path will bring boundless Merit, but also boundless hardship.

Are you willing to accompany me, to cross mountains and rivers, and with the body of a Combat Dharma Protector, guard my Buddha Light as it shines upon the world?"

Although Wukong's intelligence had only just awakened, his very bloodline was branded with an innate hatred for demonic auras and an endless trust in Sanzang.

Hearing his master's grand vow, he felt a rush of hot blood to his head, as if he had been born for this very purpose.

Without a moment's hesitation, he held his Sea-Crossing Purple Gold Rod, his Golden Armor gleaming brightly. He stood tall, and though his voice was young, it was firm and resolute.

"Disciple Wukong is willing to go with you, Master. I will fight the hordes of demons and protect the True Scripture! Until all evil is vanquished, this heart will not rest!"

A young monkey, newly born; his golden armor reflecting the sun, his purple rod shaking the mountains.

A monk's robes, stained with blood; his mortal body staggering on, his Buddha Heart like stone.

-----------------

At the moment Xu Yunfan's figure was flung out of the Wansheng Sword Sect's Mountain Protection Array by Lv Chunyang, disappearing into the boundless sea of clouds, several incomparably tyrannical Divine Thoughts intertwined and clashed deep within the sect's twelve Heaven-Supporting Sword Peaks. Cold fluctuations of Sword Intent created imperceptible ripples in the void.

From within the Grotto Void Hall on Qixia Peak, Qi Xia True Monarch's voice, laced with a bone-deep chill, pierced through the void's barriers.

"Hmph! Lv Chunyang, how dare you associate with that Xu Yunfan from the Primordial Demon Sect! That brat is hopelessly entangled with a great power from the Buddhist Sect, and he bears an unknown karma from the Demon Dao. His aura is muddled and inscrutable.

You dared to meet him in private and even bestowed upon him three strands of your Golden Core Sword Intent? The Wansheng Sword Sect is an orthodox Profound Sect! Slaying demons and devils is our sacred duty. To involve ourselves with such a filthy character is simply outrageous.

With these actions, where do you place the Sect's pristine reputation?! I demand to know, what are you planning?!"

His Divine Thought surged like a sharp sword piercing the air, filled with accusation and rage.

However, the one to answer Qi Xia True Monarch was not Lv Chunyang himself, but a brief, suffocating silence.

That silence was like an invisible, cold abyss, instantly dissipating Qi Xia True Monarch's aggressive momentum.

"Heh..."

A Divine Thought, as placid as still water yet radiating an even greater indifference, drifted over from the direction of Phecda Peak. It was none other than the Star-Pivot Sword Soul Profound True Monarch.

"Junior Brother Qixia, you have quite the temper. That Xu Yunfan's visit was a standard, formally announced visit, following the proper etiquette for disciples. It was nothing secretive. Senior Brother Lv has his reasons for seeing him."

Qi Xia True Monarch's Divine Thought faltered, and his rage burned even hotter. "What reasons?! You are a Tongxuan Daoist Monarch! You, of all people, should be able to distinguish right from wrong! Lv Chunyang has disregarded the Sect's reputation to associate with that junior mired in Buddhist and Demonic karma..."

"Enough."

An old and weary voice, seeming to carry the chill of eternal arctic ice, came from the most ancient Arctic Peak. It was the Arctic Ancient Celestial Light True Monarch, who was in seclusion year-round.

His Divine Thought felt as if it could freeze the very void. "Qixia, what's the use of all your shouting? If you truly think Lv Chunyang has done wrong, why not go to his Grotto Void Heaven Realm and question him to his face? To just squabble endlessly here merely makes you a laughingstock."

As soon as these words were spoken, the fluctuations of Divine Thought in the void clearly stuttered.

Qi Xia True Monarch's Divine Thought felt as if it had been struck by an invisible sledgehammer. His momentum instantly crumbled, and his indignant will seemed to jam, losing all its force.

He wanted to say something, but not a single word would come out.

'That's right, question him?'

'Who would go?'

'Who *could* go?'

'If I could actually beat him, I wouldn't be stuck here just shouting, would I? This is just rubbing salt in the wound.'

But the Arctic True Monarch's seniority was terrifyingly high, and he was even suspected of having stepped into the Great True Monarch Realm.

'Late-Stage Golden Core!'

After a brief, awkward silence, another Divine Thought rose from Jade Balance Peak. It was somewhat playful and carried an almost inaudible trace of mockery. "Senior Brother Qixia's earnest heart is as clear as the sun and moon.

However... Senior Brother Arctic is right. Since you're so furious right now, why not go find Senior Brother Lv and demand an explanation? We'd all love to hear the enlightened opinions of you two."

It sounded like mediation, but every word was meant to twist the knife.

Qi Xia True Monarch's Divine Thought froze completely, as if sealed in ice.

'Go to the Grotto Void Heaven Realm? To face Lv Chunyang, whose Grotto Heaven contains twelve strands of Supreme Sword Intent?'

He could even feel an extremely subtle, yet omnipresent gaze that seemed to be piercing through layers of space to land on his Qixia Peak. It was the indifferent stare of Lv Chunyang from the Grotto Void Heaven Realm.

'A clown.'

Qi Xia True Monarch flew into a rage, but it lasted only a moment.

He was furious but didn't dare to speak.

If he really went to Pure Yang Peak to question him, Lv Chunyang would probably strike him down with a single sword strike without a second thought.

The mere sweep of the other's intent was enough to make Qi Xia True Monarch's Lifebound Spiritual Treasure, his sword artifact, instinctively issue a cold warning.

In the entire Wansheng Sword Sect, who didn't know of Lv Chunyang's Sword Intent?

The edge of his Sword Dao was unparalleled among those in the Mid-Stage Golden Core; no one dared to cross his path!

Otherwise, how could the Wansheng Sword Sect have possibly grown and prospered to this day since their Daoist Lord went into seclusion?

Qi Xia True Monarch, the one who had been shouting the loudest just moments ago, now felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart. His previous righteous indignation now seemed like a giant joke.

He remained silent for several breaths. The rage in his Divine Thought finally gave way to an undisguisable dejection and a hint of fear. In the end, like a deflating ball, he gave up, letting out a heavy "Hmph!"

With forced anger and a reluctant concession, he continued, "Lv Chunyang... won't be smug for long. He's only at the Mid-Stage Golden Core right now.

Dreaming of achieving the Great True Monarch Position of the Late-Stage Golden Core?

In his dreams!"

"There are only so many Fruit Positions in the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm, and our Sword Sect's twelve Sword Dao Fruit Positions have long been locked down by our peers with their Lifebound Sword Domains.
