Wu Chen and Wu Kong stood up and respectfully stood beside their master. They heard their master say,""Any living creature of the Three Realms, regardless of whether it is egg-born, viparous, underwater, or on land…can become a spirit if it can cultivate for more than five hundred years.”The Immortal paused for a moment and looked at his two disciples." However, there is a difference between the age of cultivation and the age of wasting time. This is most obvious in humans. Whoever could cherish every moment of his life and enrich it through hard work would be able to prolong his life and improve his power. However, age was not the standard of strength. The content of cultivation was the basis for determining the strength of divine arts and strength. Some people cultivated quietly, and the enlightenment to become an immortal only happened in an instant. Some creatures lived for thousands of years, but they only grew older. Cultivation was a positive attitude. Regardless of whether it was divine, immortal, or demon, anyone who became a spirit could not be underestimated. They either obtained the opportunity to become immortals or relied on their own hard work to cultivate bit by bit to become immortals. Anyone who was recognized by the Heavenly Court and registered on the God Roll was a god. On the contrary, they were called evil demons.”
The Perfected One took a sip of tea and continued,""Because the celestial heavens have a limited number of places to register for the immortal class every year, most of the people who have cultivated to become spirits must be recommended by famous immortals and gods before they can be listed in the immortal class. Moreover, during the process of cultivation, one must cultivate according to the right method and not do anything harmful to heaven and reason before they could be selected. Because many cultivators were not recommended by immortals and gods, although their cultivation was not shallow, they could not be ranked in the immortal class. "Therefore, some of those who originally cultivated with simple intentions and wanted to become immortals gradually went against their original intentions after failing to pursue immortality. They began to collude with evil demons, harming living beings and doing evil…"
"Master, is there any good way to successfully become an immortal?”Wukong interrupted.
The Immortal looked into Wukong's eyes and said seriously," If you are a cultivator with good intentions and regard doing good deeds as a kind of cultivation, and you can persevere, maybe five hundred years, a thousand years, two thousand years... or even longer, when you have a reputation, even if there is no immortal to recommend you, your opportunity will come naturally-- But you have to be able to endure loneliness and have a normal heart.”
When Wukong heard this, he scratched his ears and said,""Master, becoming an immortal is so troublesome. I don't want to become an immortal. I just want to take revenge. After I take revenge, I will be my happy monkey king in Flowerfruit Mountain.”
"Wukong, becoming an immortal and becoming a god is an ambitious attitude. Otherwise, why would there be so many cultivators who are obsessed with becoming an immortal and becoming a god? To be able to become a god in the immortal class was not only an affirmation of the cultivators 'hard work in cultivation, but also an honor and pride.”the Perfected One said.
Wukong raised his hand and scratched his ear again, asking,""Master, what are the benefits of becoming an immortal or a god? Tell me about it. If there are great benefits, I might be tempted.”
Venerable Three Star knew that Wukong was simple, active, and straightforward. It was only because he was carrying a heavy blood feud in his heart that he suppressed his mischievous nature. Looking at Wukong staring at him with a pair of clear eyes, the Immortal thought,""Wukong is as pure as snow. I should give him more guidance to prevent him from coming into contact with some treacherous demons in the mixed Three Realms after he finishes his apprenticeship. He can't resist the temptation to enter the demonic path and walk the path of no return of his eldest disciple.”
Thinking of this, he reached out and patted Wukong's head, saying earnestly,""After you become a god, if you are a competent god, you can participate in the Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian gatherings held in the Heavenly Court every year. This is something that many cultivators dream of, and it will be of great help to their future cultivation. If you were an outstanding immortal who had not made any mistakes, you could even receive the invitation of the Queen Mother to attend the Peach Banquet held in the Jade Lake. Not only could you gather with the famous immortals and gods of the three worlds, but you could also taste the most delicious food in the three worlds.”Seeing that his two disciples were listening to him attentively, the Perfected One smiled in relief."The most important thing is that the environment after becoming an immortal is more conducive to your cultivation…"
"Master, are you a registered immortal?”Wukong suddenly asked.
The Perfected One didn't expect Wukong to ask him this question. He was stunned for a moment and then said,"I was in the past, but not now.”
"Master, why is that?" Wukong asked.
The Perfected One thought for a moment and replied,"Wukong, becoming an immortal is definitely a good thing. If you can't be ranked in the immortal class after working hard and enter the Investiture of the Gods, you have to treat yourself as an immortal. Do you understand what Master means?"
Wukong scratched his ears and cheeks for a while before he said in embarrassment,""Master, this disciple is stupid and doesn't understand the meaning behind your words.”
The Perfected One smiled and then asked Wu Chen,""Wu Chen, do you understand what Master means?”
Wu Chen hesitated for a moment and said,"Master, you mean to say: Whether or not a cultivator was an immortal…it was just a matter of name. There were evil gods and good devils. The most important thing was to do good and not do evil. This was the difference between gods and demons, and it was what cultivators needed to remember.”
"'Do good, do no evil.' Wu Chen is right. This is also Master's request for you all!”The Perfected One nodded approvingly at Wu Chen and continued,"Now, let me explain the confusion you encountered today. Magic transformation is a technique. After you master this technique, you can transform anything you want. After all living creatures were transformed, they would become who they were. They could speak and walk, and they were lifelike, no different from real creatures. Whether it was the change of the caster or the change of the designated creature, after the change, other than the thought being your main body, your body would become the creature you designated. All living things in the world reinforce and restrain each other. If you are not careful and your body is controlled by your natural enemies, you will lose the ability to change…"
When the Immortal said this, Wukong and Wuchen looked at each other and nodded at the Immortal at the same time. Then they continued to listen to their Master.
"If the transformation is not careful, the body will be controlled by the natural enemy. This is very terrifying. At this moment, even if you have boundless powers and remarkable abilities, you can't use them.”The Immortal's expression and tone became serious."If you turn yourself into a caterpillar in a battle with the enemy, then a little sparrow might take your life. "Therefore, we rarely see the incarnations of immortals and gods walking in the three worlds. Even when some demons and ghosts come out to walk, they often choose to turn themselves into relatively safe wind, clouds, smoke, fog, and so on, so that their enemies don't know where their vital points are. Although the Art of Transformation could catch enemies off guard and could even save one's life at critical moments, the art of transformation required one to master the principle of mutual promotion and restraint of all things. Only then could one use it freely and not be controlled by the enemy. Moreover, casting spells will consume one's own strength. I wonder if you felt this during today's battle?”
Wu Chen and Wu Kong each recalled for a moment, then nodded in unison and said,"Master, when we returned to the cave, we felt a little tired. We thought it was because we were depressed, so we didn't pay much attention to it at that time. We didn't expect it to be because the transformation technique took too long and consumed the essence energy in our bodies.”
The Perfected One nodded and drank the tea in one gulp. Wu Chen hurriedly went forward and refilled his master's cup. The Perfected One took a sip of tea and put it down.""The four elements of facing the enemy: The proficiency in changing spells, the strength of one's cultivation, and the strength of one's cultivation. The level of magic treasures and Dharmic powers held was very important when facing an enemy. One had to persevere in their cultivation to accumulate a profound level of power. Fighting techniques needed to be trained in actual combat to be exquisite…As the saying goes: "It's hard to learn." In the future, I will pass on all the experience I have accumulated over the years to you to improve your combat ability. Especially Wukong, who had to go back to the mountain to take revenge after completing his skills, so he had to step up his training.”The Immortal looked at Wukong with concern.
