Chapter Seven Fifty Years of Cultivation and Enlightenment, Shan Dao Long Mao Visits
Of course, these spells are very mysterious for those who have not cultivated them. After the Fa boundary, it is the boundary of refining the body. With the initial mastery of the spell, the demon begins to have a systematic understanding of the demon power and can use the demon power. This is also a sign of completing the Fa boundary. Sun Yuan is in this state at this time, which is still thanks to his previous life being enlightened by many families, otherwise he would not have completed the Fa boundary for at least several decades.
After mastering the use of demonic energy, the next step is to temper the body. In fact, tempering the body began when demonic energy was generated from within the body, but before completing the Tongfa realm, this tempering was unconscious and natural, and its effect cannot be compared with that after Tongfa. Therefore, Sun Yuan put tempering the body after Tongfa, which is also his current cultivation.
According to the manifestation of the boundary at the time of the forging body, Sun Yuan discovered that as the forging body progressed further, his body became more and more like a human shape transformation. In connection with the legend of the previous life, humans are born with a Taoist body, which is the most suitable physical form for cultivation. Therefore, Sun Yuan determined that after the forging body reaches a certain boundary, the monster's body will be humanized, also known as the legendary monster transformation.
It's not that Sun Wukong is just speculating, because as he cultivates his body, he finds that although his body still has the shape of a monkey, it can walk more and more like a human. In other words, he is evolving from a monkey to an ape. Moreover, there is a living example on Mount Huaguo, which is Sun Wukong himself.
Sun Wukong was born at the beginning, and he is almost the same as on TV, completely in human form, not in the shape of a monkey in the park. Sun Yuan estimates that after transforming, he will also get rid of the golden silk monkey's shape and reach the shape of Sun Wukong in Journey to the West.
After transforming into a demon, with the further accumulation of demonic energy, Sun Yuan felt that the next step was to condense the demon pill. After condensing the demon pill, the demon's cultivation became very simple, and afterwards it was just continuous tempering, continuously enhancing the demon pill's magical power, of course these were all Sun Yuan's own speculations.
As he thought about these things in his mind, Sun Yuanlong let out a breath and sat down cross-legged on the immortal stone. A cool energy suddenly came from below, seeping into the demonic energy within his body. The demonic energy in Sun Yuanlong's body slowly circulated, continuously absorbing the spiritual energy around him. Suddenly, a cool feeling came from Sun Yuanlong's Baihui acupoint. Sun Yuanlong knew that this was the feeling of absorbing moonlight. It is said that demons actually rely mainly on absorbing moonlight during their early cultivation. Only when they reach a certain level can the spiritual energy absorbed from the heavens and earth compare to the effect of moonlight.
However, Sun Yuan's cultivation was different from that of ordinary monsters. Under his buttocks sat the ancestral vein of the nine states, the dragon vein of the three islands, with a terrifying origin. Although Sun Yuan couldn't extract the earth's pulse, the aura that dissipated from it every day was comparable to the amount of moonlight he absorbed, which was also one of the reasons why he entered the Forging Body realm in just over a hundred years.
As the demonic energy circulated within his body, Sun Yuan felt that every cell in his body was cheering and jumping up, each one busily inhaling and exhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. With every breath, he could feel it changing. Sun Yuan knew this was a unique sensation when tempering his body. When he no longer needed to urge on the demonic energy and his cells automatically absorbed and emitted the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, then his body tempering would be almost complete, basically reaching the level of transformation.
It's said that the practice of cultivating immortality is beyond time, and monsters also don't have a concept of years. Fifty years may seem long or short, but it's enough for the monkeys on Mount Huaguo to multiply into two generations. Unbeknownst to them, fifty years have passed since Sun Wukong became the second king of Mount Huaguo. In these fifty years, nothing has changed on Mount Huaguo except for some new faces among the monkey troop - some monkeys died helplessly, and a new batch joined in, it's just the cycle of life and death.
In these fifty years, except for the first year when Sun Yuan often went down the mountain to supervise the progress of Chang Mao's boxing, in the following forty-nine years, Sun Yuan did not set foot out of this mountain peak. All the daily necessities he needed were carried up by the group of monkeys. At first, it was delivered once a week, and later when Sun Yuan reached a high level of cultivation, this time became once a month.
After fifty years of cultivation, Sun Yuan has already grasped the threshold of transformation. In fact, he can now be considered to have achieved human form. If there were photos of him from fifty years ago and compared them with his current appearance, no one would think they are the same monkey. At this point, Sun Yuan's physical body is infinitely close to that of Sun Wukong, which is human in shape.
Fifty years have passed, and Chang Mao has not changed at all. He doesn't show any signs of aging, and instead, due to his long-term practice of Sunyuan's monkey fist, his spirit is even more vigorous than before. At this time, all the hair on his body has turned snow-white, and his physique is exceptionally majestic.
At this time, it had been two or three months since the long-haired monkey had seen his old friend. He was directing a group of monkeys to move the things that Sun Wukong needed onto the mountain path. Today was also the day when they would meet once a month. The long-haired monkey felt a little nostalgic for his old friend, so he took over from the monkey who was supposed to be on duty and led his family up the mountain road himself.
"Monkey grandfather, monkey grandfather, I heard that the Second Great King has great magical powers, is it true that he has three heads and six arms?" After a brief commotion among the little monkeys, one of them jumped out from the crowd, bouncing and jumping while holding a jar, and came to the front of the long-haired leader who was directing the group's progress.
Forty years ago, Sun Yuan used his magical powers to move a circle of stone walls around the place where he was cultivating, in order to avoid being disturbed by the noisy monkeys. Unless it's an old friend who comes to visit, Sun Yuan will not open the stone gate. Thus, the legend about Sun Yuan, the second great king of the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits, has been circulating among the monkey crowd.
For over 40 years, Sun Yuan's image has been shrouded in mystery. Often, in the still of the night, Sun Yuan is the hottest topic of conversation among two sleepless monkeys who are fond of chatting. Among them, the youngest monkey is the most enthusiastic, and in their hearts, Sun Yuan is a legend.
"Haha, who told you that? The Second Great King is indeed formidable, but he's still no match for the Great King. Otherwise, why would he be called the Second Great King? This time on the mountain, I'll introduce you to this group of little monkeys." Long Mao looked at the clever little monkey in front of him and couldn't help but think of his own youth. Now 180 years old, he had long shed his youthful impetuousness, but towards this descendant of his, whose generation he didn't even know, Long Mao was filled with affection and made this decision.
"Hurray, hurray!" The little monkeys were excited and jumped up upon hearing the news. The excitement of meeting someone they had dreamed about was beyond what ordinary people could imagine, regardless of whether that person was a hero or a demon.
