459 Grand-grade Heavenly Immortal Ar (1/2)

The melody of the great dao could be heard in the air, overflowing with immortal intent and brimming with the true meaning of mysteries.

Master Subhuti stretched his body and when he saw the monkey kneeling on the ground, he coughed. The sound of his cough sounded like a bell; it was like he just discovered this.

”It's in the middle of the night. Monkey, what are you doing?”

Sun Wukong replied, ”Master, your disciple has been kneeling here for a long time. When Master showed up in the lecture earlier, you hinted that disciple should look for you here from eleven to one at night to impart me the Dao. Hence, this disciple audaciously came here in the middle of the night and waited for you.”

Master Subhuti was actually happy when he heard this. He then silently mused, ”This monkey is truly birthed by the heavens and earth or he wouldn't have been able to solve the riddle in my words so easily.”

Upon seeing the joy of his master, Sun Wukong felt as though he was favored by fortune. He continued, ”There's no six-ears in this world. I hope master can be kind enough to pass the art of longevity to me. Sun Wukong will never forget this debt of kindness!”

After speaking, he bowed deeply in thanks.

Right now, the monkey kept his head down and couldn't see Subhuti's expression clearly.

But Feng Lin was deep in the monkey's heart. He could see everything.

At this moment, Master Subhuti's gaze was deep, yet no longer as calm as before. He cast a long look at the stone monkey beneath his feet. His eyes seemed capable of piercing through the long river of time and seeing through all lies and illusions.

Right now, Feng Lin was incomparably confident. This Subhuti was as expected of a saint-level existence. Most probably, when Sun Wukong had come to beg for his tutelage in ancient times, he had already seen the scenes of the future through his connection with Sun Wukong, allowing him to plan for certain contingencies.

At this moment, Feng Lin didn't doubt this at all.

One must know that since the beginning of time, those supremely powerful existences in the Primordial Eras had all jumped out of the three realms and no longer consisted of the five elements. The heavens and earth might crumble, but they would still be alive; the universe might be destroyed, but it wouldn't affect them.

When ancient myths and legends had encountered the calamity of destruction, no one knew what had happened. Most of the gods, deities, and saints had all vanished without a trace. What about those imposing deities on the supreme level like Master Subhuti? Could they really have vanished just like this as well? Wouldn't they have made preparations for it?

This was truly a terrifying thought.

For now, Feng Lin still had no way to see through all the mysteries clearly.

...

And at this moment, after remaining silent for some time, Subhuti finally spoke, ”I'm happy because we are fated. You managed to discern the riddle and solved it. Since this is the case, listen carefully. I shall impart to you the oracular formula of the Dao of longevity.”

Sun Wukong kowtowed to convey his thanks. He paid utmost attention and continued kneeling by the bedside.

Feng Lin also silently focused.

The words of the master were unhurried, seemingly drifting over from the ancient era, filled with mysteries.

”The truth of the secret art is to cherish life and cultivation.

Even concentrating power in one's body, imparting the prosperous dao.

Memorizing the oracular formula is of many benefits: evil desires would be expelled, which would then cause your heart to feel calm and cool.

A cool heart would mingle with the purity of light, making one admire the moonlight on a pavilion.

The moon hides the jade, the sun hides the golden crow. The tortoise and snake entwined as one.

Integration of them both causes the foundation of life to be sturdy and solid, capable of planting golden loti in fire.

The five elements can be used as one desires. Upon attainment, one can transform into a buddha or an immortal…”

The mysteries of the oracular formula was the impartation of the great dao.

Now, the origin was explained. The mysteries of cultivation was clear to Sun Wukong as well.

Sun Wukong felt extremely fortunate. He memorized the oracular formula and thanked his master before leaving the area while contemplating on it endlessly.

A glimmer of light shone in the eastern sky. Golden rays filled the air as the sun rose, cascading its glow downwards and lighting up everything below.

The stone monkey had crossed the four great continents and five oceans just to seek the freedom of longevity.

His journey had been very tough. He had experienced many setbacks and suffered over tens of years of agony in the human world, as well as enduring the look of disdain that others shot him. Right now, he finally received the compensation he deserved.
