"Elder Yun, your sword qi is so sharp and powerful!"
"Elder Monkey King, your heaven and earth dharma image is so cool!"
...
A group of "Yun Family Immortal Mansion disciples" cheered for Yun Tianzhong and "Little Spirit Monkey King."
Now, both Yun Tianzhong and "Little Spirit Monkey King" have become elders of the "Yun Family Immortal Mansion," and they are not ordinary elders, but Supreme Elders with high authority.
This was a decision made by the Patriarch, "Yun Zhenting," himself!
Yun Tianzhong and "Little Spirit Monkey King" had extremely special identities and statuses.
They had jointly refined the "Town Mansion Stone Tablet."
Strictly speaking, this person and this monkey were the true masters of the "Yun Family Immortal Mansion."
Initially, "Yun Zhenting" had intended to make Yun Tianzhong the Patriarch, but Yun Tianzhong had flatly refused.
Yun Tianzhong's intention was clear: although he and "Little Spirit Monkey King" had refined the "Town Mansion Stone Tablet," neither of them had sufficient ability or prestige to be the Patriarch. Therefore, he asked "Yun Zhenting" to continue to work hard and remain the Patriarch.
"Yun Zhenting" was deeply moved, knowing that this was Yun Tianzhong's way of showing respect.
Moved, "Yun Zhenting" spared no effort in cultivating Yun Tianzhong, "Little Spirit Monkey King," and Yun Zhaozhao.
These three, or rather, these two and one monkey, did not disappoint "Yun Zhenting."
As soon as they came out of seclusion, they displayed strength far exceeding the "Golden Core Realm," even reaching the "Nascent Soul Peak," which was a pleasant surprise!
"Yun Zhenting" felt gratified and chuckled, saying to Yun Tianzhong.
"Tianzhong, you have finally emerged from seclusion. It seems your retreat was very fruitful!"
Yun Tianzhong was upright and valued etiquette above all else. He immediately bowed respectfully to "Yun Zhenting" and said.
"Patriarch, thank you for your concern!"
"Yun Zhenting" looked at Yun Tianzhong with increasing satisfaction and chuckled.
"Tianzhong, your successful passage of the heavenly tribulation was all thanks to the protection of a senior. You must go and thank that senior properly!"
When Yun Tianzhong was undergoing his "Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation," he had, by chance, triggered the power of the "Golden Page."
The "Golden Page" was a "Grand Dao Treasure Material," a super treasure used by a certain senior to engrave the "Tao Te Ching."
Although, up to this point, the senior had not yet carved the first word on the "Golden Page," only a few strokes.
However, the "Tao Te Ching" was still the "Tao Te Ching," containing the profound mysteries of the "Three Thousand Great Daos." Even with only a few strokes, it was still infinitely profound and miraculous!
The "Golden Page" displayed its miraculous might during Yun Tianzhong's tribulation, triggering the famous line from the "Tao Te Ching": "The way of heaven is to diminish the excess and supplement the insufficient."
This was incredibly powerful!
Yun Tianzhong's "Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation" was immediately tamed by this "Great Dao power." Not only did it not harm Yun Tianzhong, but it transformed into "Golden Heavenly Tribulation Power," condensing around Yun Tianzhong's "Golden Core" and providing it with a continuous stream of energy.
Moreover, this "Great Dao power" did not disappear; it would always empower Yun Tianzhong.
This meant that Yun Tianzhong could cultivate freely and without restraint from now on. Breaking through "major realms" would be as easy as playing, with no bottlenecks and no heavenly tribulations.
Oh, "heavenly tribulations" would still occur, but they would not cause any harm to Yun Tianzhong.
On the contrary, "heavenly tribulations" were "great supplements" to Yun Tianzhong.
Every time Yun Tianzhong experienced a "heavenly tribulation," the "Great Dao power" would help him tame the "heavenly tribulation power." The "Golden Heavenly Tribulation Power" would continuously aid Yun Tianzhong in his cultivation, causing his cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds, accelerating at an incredible speed...
In short, if nothing unexpected happened, Yun Tianzhong would cultivate to the "Mahayana Realm" within a thousand years.
Well, if something unexpected happened, Yun Tianzhong might reach the "Mahayana Realm" within a hundred years.
It was that powerful!
Yun Tianzhong's extraordinary fortune was all due to a certain senior, so he naturally had to express his gratitude.
Yun Tianzhong said solemnly.
"My and Little Spirit's achievements today are all thanks to the senior's cultivation..."
Upon hearing this, the monkey snorted disdainfully.
Its fortuitous encounters were no less than Yun Tianzhong's.
During a life-and-death battle, it had completely awakened its "ancient bloodline," causing a legendary great power to descend its "true spirit will" and personally enlighten the monkey.
The monkey not only gained a "golden ahoge" but also received the recognition of thousands of "Buddha wills" and inherited the "Buddha cultivation legacy"!
The monkey's "Buddha cultivation legacy" was orthodox Buddhism, a supremely powerful existence!
Although the monkey's "Buddha cultivation legacy" was related to its own bloodline and had nothing to do with the senior, it couldn't withstand everyone's "deification" tendencies!
In the eyes of the "Deification Cult" members, led by "Yun Zhenting," the "mysterious great will" of the "Little Spirit Monkey King" was a good friend of the senior, whom the senior had specifically invited to enlighten the "Little Spirit Monkey King."
If you round up the credit.
All of the "Little Spirit Monkey King's" progress could be attributed to the senior.
The monkey disdained this explanation.
However, everyone said so, and they constantly repeated it in its ears.
Even its good brother Yun Tianzhong and its confidante Yun Zhaozhao said so.
Three people saying it makes a tiger appear in the market.
After hearing it so many times, the monkey tacitly accepted this explanation.
Although it admitted it in its heart, the arrogant monkey still outwardly expressed its dissent.
Hmph, asking me to thank that human? Impossible, unless that human kneels down and begs me!
Yun Tianzhong continued.
"Patriarch, Little Spirit and I, and Zhaozhao, after coming out of seclusion this time, plan to first thank the senior and then, with the senior's consent, go down the mountain to train!"
Cultivation is not just about meditating in isolation... er, except for a certain "hidden cultivator," who had already decided to "hide" in his cave for his entire life, and even if he had to flee, he would take the entire cave with him.
For normal cultivators, after a period of seclusion, they need to go out and train, first to see if they can stumble upon fortuitous encounters and opportunities by sheer luck, and second, to temper their state of mind.
Fortuitous encounters and opportunities were not needed by Yun Tianzhong, "Little Spirit Monkey King," and Yun Zhaozhao. They now had enough of them to cultivate all the way to the "Mahayana Realm." Their sole purpose in going down the mountain to train was "to temper their state of mind."
"Yun Zhenting" strongly agreed with this.
He nodded.
"Indeed, one cannot develop in a closed room on the path of cultivation. All three of you, er, you two and one monkey, have now reached the Golden Core Realm, and it is time to go out and gain some experience!"
"Elder Tianzhong, I, I have a humble request. Can I also follow you out to train?"
Wang Xiaohu stepped forward, looking at Yun Tianzhong with great hope.
