Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System-Chapter 263 - 250: Three Treasures and the Innate Taoist Body
Chapter 263: Chapter 250: Three Treasures and the Innate Taoist Body
When Liu Xiu convened his first court meeting as the King of Men, Sun Wukong did not upstage his disciple, but instead returned to the Fruit Mountain to visit his monkey children and grandchildren.
On the way, his mind sank into his memory to check the treasure chests he had acquired this time.
In fact, over the past thirty years, he had implemented many suggestions.
For example, "having Liu Xiu implement the imperial examination to break the monopoly of the noble families," "upgrading the papermaking technology," "upgrading the printing technique," "establishing a city god system to perfect the cycle of samsara," and so on.
These suggestions had brought him many treasure chests, among which the one from establishing the city god system had the highest quality, being a seventh-tier treasure chest. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
When he opened it, he obtained an exceptional scroll-type Innate Spiritual Treasure, which he later modified into the Catalog of Ten Thousand Beasts.
And the other chests also brought him various rewards like cultivation progress, magical treasures, and Divine Skills, which was why he had reached a level that could rival the peak of Quasi-Saints, even overpowering the Southern Extremity Longevity Star who had an Innate treasure for protection.
Thus, he was very much looking forward to seeing what rewards he could get this time.
At this moment, six ancient-looking treasure chests were floating in Wukong’s mind, exuding a profound aura.
There was one fifth-tier, two seventh-tier, two eighth-tier, and one ninth-tier.
The fifth-tier treasure chest was from the suggestion "to establish the system of the twelve zodiacs among the human race."
The two seventh-tier chests were from "making the Dragon Race the totem of the entire human race" and "advancing agricultural civilization to show the early signs of the Way of Humanity."
The two eighth-tier chests were from "establishing the Catalog of Ten Thousand Beasts to form a greater totemic system among the human race" and "combining the totem system with the system of Valiant Spirits."
The one ninth-tier chest was from "the establishment of the human race’s system of Valiant Spirits."
From the experience of establishing the Hall of Valor, it was clear that the suggestion had been very difficult to fulfill, even drawing the intervention of four Saints from afar; obviously, it could not have been accomplished by his power alone.
"If the difficulty of a ninth-tier chest is so high, what about a tenth-tier one?" This thought flashed through Wukong’s mind.
Last time, a netizen had provided a tenth-tier-level suggestion, asking him to use his great Divine Skills to repair Mount Buzhou, channel chaotic spiritual energy, nourish all three realms, and reshape the primeval world.
That suggestion was likely beyond his current realm.
Afterwards, Wukong did not wallow in nostalgia or sentimentality but went straight to opening the chests.
The higher the tier of the treasure chest, the greater the chance of getting exceptional rewards.
When the notification sounded, the six ancient chests released dazzling beams of light one after another; from them, all sorts of glowing rewards flew out, including cultivation progress, laws, magical treasures, and Divine Skills.
[You have opened a fifth-tier chest, congratulations on obtaining the insight into the Dao of Artifacts (sixth level) and the insight into the Dao of Formations (sixth level)]
Profound understandings of the laws flowed into Wukong’s memory, making him grin ear to ear, "Hehe, good, good!"
This first fifth-tier chest had elevated his understanding of artifacts and formations from the Quasi-Saint fifth level to the sixth level. What about the seventh, eighth, and ninth tiers then?
He then looked to the rewards from the two seventh-tier chests.
[You have opened a seventh-tier chest, congratulations on acquiring physical cultivation (mid-phase Golden Immortal), Primordial Spirit cultivation (mid-phase Golden Immortal), and the grudge of the Southern Extremity Longevity Star]
A torrent of mana then flowed into Wukong’s body, strengthening his physical body and Primordial Spirit and enhancing his cultivation level.
"It seems it won’t be long before I can break through." Wukong carefully sensed his progress, his cultivation now nearly reaching the late phase of Golden Immortal.
As for the grudge of the Southern Extremity Longevity Star, it was clear without looking that it would be a poor reward.
[You have opened a seventh-tier chest, congratulations on obtaining the Map of Mountains and Rivers (exceptional Innate Spiritual Treasure)]
Receiving this reward made Wukong scratch his head, "Hey, too bad it’s not the Qiankun Cauldron."
He had once opened a chest and obtained a cauldron of creation, whose attached memories indicated that it and the Qiankun Cauldron were of the same origin, being two Spiritual Treasures created from the fragmentation of the same Primordial Cauldron, both with the power to defy the Innate and capable of refining Innate Spiritual Treasures.
At that point, he thought if he could obtain the Qiankun Cauldron, he might be able to reforge the two Divine Cauldrons back into a Primordial Cauldron.
But he had no clue where the Qiankun Cauldron was, and it was only after asking the wise netizens that he found out it was in the possession of Lady Nuwa.
Unfortunately, up to this point, he had not met Nuwa, nor had he the chance to obtain the Qiankun Cauldron.
Of course, obtaining the Map of Mountains and Rivers this time was also impressive, as it was an exceptional Innate Spiritual Treasure.
The Map of Mountains and Rivers contained a phantasmal world within it, which could change according to the Four Symbols doctrine, possessing infinite mysteries; thinking of mountains would create mountains, thinking of water would form water, moving forward with a thought and backward in reflection.
"This treasure would sure be fun to play with." Wukong shook his head, planning to gift this treasure to his disciple or to one of his followers.
Then came the rewards from the two eighth-tier chests, which contained not only cultivation but also insights into laws, and what thrilled Wukong the most was an Innate supreme treasure!
[You have opened an eighth-tier chest, congratulations on acquiring physical cultivation (mid-phase Golden Immortal), Primordial Spirit cultivation (mid-phase Golden Immortal), Staff Law insight (eighth level), and Archery Law insight (eighth level)]
[You have opened an eighth-tier chest, congratulations on obtaining the All Heavens Celebratory Clouds (Innate Supreme Treasure)]
As these rewards and information manifested in Wukong’s mind, he was so delighted he started to scratch his head and ears in excitement.
During his previous encounter with the Southern Extremity Longevity Star, he had already witnessed the might of the All Heavens Celebratory Clouds.
Although the Southern Extremity Longevity Star was injured by his overwhelming strength, it did not mean the treasure was of lesser value, after all, it was an Innate Supreme Treasure.
No matter how powerful a magical treasure is, it also depends on who uses it; the true failure was that shameless old wretch.
