Chapter Fifteen: Washing Away the Powder and Returning to Oneself, Sun Yuan Returns Home

  The four apes, including Longmao and Tongbi, wanted to say something, but were stopped by the beautiful ape king with a wave of his hand.

  The Monkey King filled his cup with wine, raised it and said: "Second Grand King has this ambition, I admire him very much. Although I don't know what Second Grand King has been pursuing all along, but for the spirit of Second Grand King that has remained unchanged for hundreds of years, I am deeply respectful. As brothers, we should not stop him. Now let's toast to Second Grand King and wish him success in his cultivation, and soon return to the mountain to reunite with us."

  "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you for the kindness of all brothers!" Sun Yuan raised his wine cup and drank it in one gulp, then stepped out of the Water Curtain Cave with big strides.

  Outside the Water Curtain Cave, looking at a group of monkeys seeing him off, Sun Wukong laughed and said "Fellow brothers, we'll meet again another day. Kids, practice hard, when I come back I'll be checking on your progress."

  "Don't worry, Second Master. I'll take care of these mischievous guys. When you come back, you'll definitely be in for a surprise!" The gibbon patted its chest and said with confidence.

  "Take care, Monkey King! I'll come back next month to visit you again!" said Zhang Mao, waving his hand.

  "Brother, work hard and achieve success soon! Let's meet again and have a good time!" Monkey King said with a wave of his arm.

  Sun Yuan waved his hand, and with a subtle movement of his left hand, he made a secret gesture. Suddenly, a black gust of wind appeared out of thin air, enveloping Sun Yuan within it. The black wind rushed towards the horizon, carrying Sun Yuan's voice "Everyone, please return! We'll meet again another day!" The sound echoed in mid-air for a moment before fading away, but Sun Yuan's figure had already vanished from sight.

  "Come on, kids. Although the Second Grand King is gone, today's banquet will proceed as usual." After a long silence, Sun Wukong's eyes flashed with a hint of longing, and he turned around to walk towards the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits in big strides.

  Behind him, a group of monkeys burst into laughter and discussion, talking about the magic that Sun Yuan had just performed. They witnessed the black wind with their own eyes, giving this group of ordinary monkeys something to talk about for a long time.

  Leaving the noisy monkey group, Sun Yuan returned to his own cave. Compared with the lively Water Curtain Cave, the quiet top of Huaguo Mountain seemed a bit desolate. Sun Yuan, who had just left the noisy monkey group, obviously couldn't adapt to this change all at once. He needed some time to calm down his violently beating heart.

  Out of the cave, facing the fierce mountain peaks, the demonic energy in Sun Yuan's body flowed, pinched his fingers, and the huge stone gate slammed shut. At this time, the top of Huaguo Mountain became a place isolated from the world again. Sun Yuan walked quickly for a few steps, came to the usual meditation place, but did not sit on the fairy stone to cultivate, but instead came to the edge of the cliff, found a place and sat down.

  The strong gust of wind from the bottom of the cliff suddenly made Sun Yuan's somewhat dizzy head clear, and he felt a sense of refreshment. This feeling was completely different from the one when drinking in the Water Curtain Cave, but you also can't deny that this fresh and elegant atmosphere is just as attractive as the lively gathering.

  As the strong wind blew up the hair on his body, Sun Yuan looked back on his experiences over the past few days. These past few days of frolicking with the group of monkeys seemed to have brought Sun Yuan back to his previous life's era. Just like in those years when they would finish their missions and gather together, only the place where they gathered was a bar, and the difference between that place and this one was just that there were many beautiful women around!

  After a long time, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Sun Yuan's mouth. He woke up from his memories in his previous life. At this moment, his heart was completely calm and peaceful. The hustle and bustle below the mountain were all thrown behind him. Now, what existed in his heart was only peace and nature, as well as a deep sense of harmony with nature.

  Opening his eyes, Sun Yuan's body leaned forward and plunged down the cliff. In mid-air, however, he didn't show any signs of panic, instead closing his eyes to quietly savor this moment of freedom. At that instant, Sun Yuan's heart was unencumbered, thoroughly enjoying nature.

  The wind whizzing past his ears, Sun Yuan woke up from a state of harmony with nature, at which point his falling speed had reached an extremely fast degree, even with Sun Yuan's cultivation, it was somewhat difficult to open his eyes.

  As he watched the dark shadow below grow larger and larger, Sun Yuan knew that this was the moment when he was about to reach the bottom. Facing this, he didn't have a single trace of panic. After all, this kind of extreme activity like bungee jumping wasn't something Sun Yuan hadn't done before.

  Good monkey, only to see him in the process of rapid descent, both hands pinched fingers, a black wind immediately appeared and wrapped his body, the momentum of the swift dive involuntarily slowed down, two or three seconds later, Sun Yuan's downward trend stopped, the whole monkey body suspended in the black wind, standing still in mid-air.

  At this time, he was still about ten meters above the ground. Underneath him wasn't any rocky land, but a deep and serene spring. This was a secret place that Sun Yuan only discovered after acquiring the Wind Manipulation Technique. As far as he knew, except for some birds, this altar surrounded by steep cliffs had only one visitor - himself. Usually when he was feeling restless during his cultivation, he would come here to take a stroll and dispel the frustration in his heart.

  Taking a deep breath, Sun Yuan dispersed the magic spell, and his monkey body somersaulted 720 degrees in mid-air like a diver before plunging into the depths of the pool.

  After a long time, a fluffy monkey head emerged in the center of the pond, it was Sun Yuan.

  With a refreshing splash of water, Sun Yuan's whole body was invigorated, and the worldly aura he had accumulated in his daily life completely disappeared. Cleansed of all distractions, Sun Yuan finally calmed his mind for the next step of his cultivation.

  Crawling out of the pond, Sun Yuan circled around this secluded valley, inspecting his territory, checking if the few blades of grass he had been paying attention to had grown taller, and whether an ant colony that was originally here had moved again. At this moment, Sun Yuan was like the Boundary King on the planet of Boundary King, busily scurrying about in a narrow range.

  Finally, the night fell, and Sun Yuan let out a breath after dealing with all sorts of things. At this moment, his entire body was completely relaxed, returning to its natural state, without any hint of vulgarity. This state was exactly the best condition for cultivation, and Sun Yuan would not waste it.

  He only saw him pinch a tactic on his hand, the black wind started, and the whole monkey body rose into the air, straight to the top of Huaguo Mountain. The black wind moved up along the steep rock wall without any obstacles, and in no time it climbed up the cliff of ten thousand feet.

  The black wind dispersed, and Sun Yuan's figure appeared, standing right on the pedestal of the Flower Fruit Mountain.

  Sun Yuan swung his arm, a strong gust of wind blew out, sweeping the dust on the base clean. He then sat down cross-legged, at this time the sun had just set, the moon had not yet appeared, but Sun Yuan began his daily cultivation.
