Sage Art

Gui Liang clicked his tongue in annoyance seeing his grand-uncle catching up to him, but he didn't do anything and just flew in a steady speed because he knew their difference is so immense.

If Sun Wukong decided to, he will leave him to dust easily. Using his Eternal Artifact, the Somersault Cloud, everything is easy as pie for him to do that.

Sun Wukong flew beside him as he sometimes circled around him playfully. Then as if a random thought struck on hi mind, he asked his grandnephew a question.

"You were appointed as the Young master of the clan yesterday?"

Gui Liang, replied in a dry tone, "Yes." Since this grand-uncle of him never attended a meeting or a celebration if it doesn't concern anything "fun".

"Hmm...is that so? Then I naturally have to give a gift to you, no?"

"Really?" His eyes shone in purple light when he heard what his grand-uncle said. Anticipation grew in his heart.

"Yes, but first, what realm are you in now?"

"You're really asking me that? I know you know it."

"Hmph. You're no fun as always, killjoy."

"It's at the Saint Realm, Old man."

"O-old....I'm not old tho?"

"Hah! It's because you are Immortal!"

"Yes, Immortal, we had unlimited life span.... but we can still be killed, no?" Sun Wukong said with a longing gaze.

"...."

This time, Gui Liang didn't answer when he saw the state of his grand-uncle. He just stayed silent.

"...."

He remembered the story of his grand-uncle, the forbidden love he had with the Goddess of Life Nuwa. A tragic story, and also, the start of the 3rd Immortal War.

An Immortal War is a war involving nearly all the realms in The Great Thousand Realms that can last for a hundred years. Billions, if not, trillions of lives are lost in a Immortal War depending on how much damage it cost.

Even an Eternal Realm cultivator lost their lives. The mortals wept and blood of gods and demons rain down.

Sun Wukong remembered the immaculately beautiful face of the goddess he loved, a goddess and a devil being together? That's absurd, the two races or rather, the God Clan won't let that happen. But this story will be for another time.

Sun Wukong woke up from his stupor when he realized the silence. He coughed slightly to wash away the awkward atmosphere.

"Kuhum. Anyway, as my gift to you, I'll teach you the art I personally created that helped me reach the the highest realm of the cultivator can achieve!"

"You mean...."

"Yup, I'll teach you my 'Sage Art'!"

"....!"

Shocked, he stopped flying and just stop there motionlessly aside from the flap of his wings.

Why is he so shocked? Of course, who wouldn't? The Sage Art is famous in the whole Great Thousand Realms. When Sun Wukong teach his Sage Art to his 'disciples', those people who cultivated that art become strong and an expert in fighting.

Even his father, coveted this art. But of course, he wouldn't raid the dreams of Sun Wukong not only because he is a relative, he is also a strong Eternal cultivator that had the ability to seal souls.

Those who had the ability to tap into souls are terrifying paragons, for example his father, he also uses his soul to raid dreams but in terms of mastery over souls, Sun Wukong is superior to him.

And he is saying that he will teach that famous Sage Art to him? He would, without a doubt, be happy.

"Now you understand my 'Greatness'?"

"...."

Then Sun Wukong started talking as if the past conversation is nothing, "Kuhum, the Sage Art, is an art that focuses on discipline and calm mind of the user. But more importantly, the will of the user." He pointed his finger to his heart and tapped it twice.

"And you know about it, that when you're ready, an innate ability will be unlocked. No one knows what ability you will unlock, even me did not know because I only created the art, I'm not you, or anybody else, I am me."

Even him did not know what ability will bloom because even to himself did not know that an innate ability will be born after he created this art.

He tried on teaching it to others and yes, they also had the innate ability that eventually became their trademark.

He came to the conclusion that every living being has an innate ability but it is hidden in the depths of our soul. He just unlocked it with his self created art accidentally.

"But let's focus on the core of the art...." Then he started explaining to him the fundamentals of the Art and teach him this Art right here right now.....

And Gui Liang also sat at the cloud comfortably while Sun Wukong teaches him. After a few hours had passed, Sun Wukong finally finished his teachings. Gui Liang sat cross-leggedly with eyes closed, he is frowning from time to time before being back to calm face.

While he just sat there with a smirk on his face, he thought that this grandnephew of his might be a genius but he still won't comprehend the Sage Art easily.

Even the peerless student he once had needed to go to seclusion before he comprehend the Art.

But after an hour and a half so, Gui Liang opened his eyes sharply and his eyes is glowing in emerald color and the Sin word on his forehead shone intensely. His pale skin seems to be glowing and the blood veins in his body wriggles.

The smirk on Sun Wukong's face vanished, replace by a shocked look that he immediately hide. He had now a calm face as he look into the emerald glowing eyes of his grandnephew and said:

"Hm.. As expected, you comprehended my art easily. You really deserve the position of the Young master of the Devil Clan." But his inner thoughts are different.

'Ridiculous. I thought my brother's words are just bragging about his grandson but he is right. This boy is a monster to comprehend my art that easily, and on top of that, he is also trained by his father since he started cultivating. A genius? No, he's a monster.'

"Congratulations on opening the first stage of the Sage Art, Sage Eyes."

He sincerely congratulated him, meanwhile, Gui Liang is making himself familiar with the new technique he comprehended.

He stood up and bowed ninety degrees towards his grand-uncle, but Sun Wukong just shook his head seeing his behavior. He smiled as he thought, 'This boy....he really took up his Father's teachings...'

"Stand up straight, we will get going."

Without further ado, he commanded his cloud to move and it moves super fast that the speed they maintain before is like a snail compared to this speed.

"Oh...where is my grandnephew? Meh, who cares."

Gui Liang was blown by the winds and he had no choice but to spread wide his wings and catch up to his bastard grand uncle!

"Damn it! When I reach his level, I'll really smack him on the head and will definitely put a bump on his face!"
