"It's actually Sun Wukong."
"It's really Sun Wukong!"
"Super jackpot!"
Bright eyes.
At this moment, Ran was merely one step away from attaining immortality, and his heart trembled inevitably.
Today, although Sun Wukong right now lacked the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's Immortal Technique, the somersault cloud, the seventy-two earthly transformations, Cosmic Body, Body Outside of Body, the Fiery Golden Eyes, the Vajra Body, the Three Heads and Six Arms, and the True Fire of Samadhi, nor could he execute the Primordial Spirit Testing and Immobilizing Technique, the Water and Fire Avoidance Tactics, or the techniques of Moving Mountains and Shrinking the Ground, etc.
But there were more surprises awaiting him.
One, the ascending monkey had been tutored by a sage, making it not easy to deceive.
To inherit, little time couldn't suffice to convince him.
Second, what Sun Wukong had learned paled in comparison to the thirty-six heavenly-tier powers and the seventy-two earthly transformations.
The seventy-two earthly transformations weren't merely seventy-two earthly minor supernatural powers but were counted among the thirty-six heavenly-tier skills along with the thirty-six celestial transformations.
And they weren't complete.
Nuwa's method of creating humans in its true god-tier sense, it could create something from nothing or transform the essence of things, alter all aspects of existence, bring life from death, and rewrite the laws of heaven.
The thirty-six transformations and the seventy-two transformations of Taoist patriarch Puti Zushi were only a fraction of god-tier magic, a castrated version of it.
Sun Wukong could learn this, either due to his innate talent or other reasons.
And what he had learned was the Heavenly Immortal Art, merely a part of the Great Way of the Golden Elixir.
With that said, it seemed like Ran was lost in thought.
For a genuine cultivator, hearing the Dao in the morning might mean facing death by evening.
Any method related to immortality cultivation could draw people in.
At least, these legacies appearing in the ninja world could incite competition among the Three Great Sage Region, the Ōtsutsuki clan, and even more races in the universe.
Ran was indeed fortunate, not because it has everything, rather it lacked most things, but because it could obtain even better things.
Who is Sun Wukong?
The Intelligent Stone Monkey, one of the Four Monkeys in the Mixed World.
What are the talents of the Intelligent Stone Monkey?
Through transformations, it understands the nuances, such as exploiting geographical advantages and altering the outcomes of battles.
The first three abilities are mediocre at best. Not to mention the thirty-six heavenly-tier skills, even the seventy-two minor supernatural powers could be mastered with relative ease and cultivated further.
Eighty-nine profound arts, nine-turn profound arts, and others can all undergo transformations.
But the shifting of stars and battles must remain concealed. It's one of the thirty-six god-tier passes and embodies the god-tier power of the natural master of the Divine Stone Monkey. Those who can annihilate their bodies, obliterate their essence, or endure.
It can manipulate the stars, alter the movements of the sun and the moon, even reverse the passage of time, and govern timing.
It stands as the supreme law.
Here, the sun and moon aren't the ordinary stars of the world but lunar stars and sun stars, molded by the gaze of the god-tier Pangu.
When Sun Wukong carved through the world, two divine beams emanated from his eyes, piercing through the Dou Mansion and startling the Jade Emperor in the heavens.
Yet all of this was shattered by a mere sip of ordinary water.
And because Sun Wukong possesses the merit of mending the heavens, those who commit wrongful acts must face retribution, experiencing one of the thirty-six celestial supernatural powers.
It's also one of the thirty-six heavenly gang god-tiers, a segment of Yushen Yuqi… Yuan Shen Yun's journey.
There are numerous such exchanges.
In his previous life, Sun Wukong learned countless things, but not one truly stuck.
He's as formidable as someone with similar strength, perhaps even superior.
But when confronted with true powerhouses, he always finds himself at a loss.
What's even more akin to Sun Wukong's predicament is the dignified Lingzhu's transformation into a lotus flower in the end.
Absurd.
And the reason for Ran's joy lies in the fact that Sun Wukong, having just crossed the Qinhai, remains a clean slate.
The energy, potential, and so forth within his body have yet to be exhausted.
Even merits linger.
If these are inherited, they could alter his destiny.
Even as he is now a mere inhabitant of the ninja world, there exists a faint possibility of his ascent to the Great Desolate in the future.
Most importantly, he still believes he's merely the offspring of ordinary monkeys, such self-deception!
He doesn't dare ponder about the prehistoric era.
That thing, if one were to obtain it, they wouldn't dare to employ it.
Even if golden list bore witness, traversing the past could still be erased as an anomaly.
Better to stick to the simplest of deals.
"This here's a gift from yours truly, Sun Wukong," declared Ran, his eyes fixed on the shimmering veil before him.
For some inexplicable reason, the veil remained sealed shut.
