Chapter 292 - 278: Why Should the Masses Cherish a Single Life
But Wukong fell asleep and, to his surprise, had a dream.
A lengthy dream, with thousands of scenes fluttering before his eyes, depicting his entire life.
When Wukong awoke, he realized that the sky had already darkened. Xuan Ming was toying with a seven-colored orchid as though she were an ordinary woman, not a Heavenly Dao Saint who had reached the pinnacle of this world.
Wukong stretched lazily and said, "I’ve slept for quite a long time. Ever since I escaped from under Tathagata’s hand, I’ve hardly ever slept soundly again. This, perhaps, is also a form of transcendence."
That was the truth. In pursuit of his vengeance and to fulfill his grand ambition, Wukong had not rested for a moment. After achieving his grand ambition, he spent his days understanding Taoist Magic and realizing the Great Dao Principles to become a Great Dao Sage. Then he began preaching to help all cultivators increase their cultivation level. He never had a moment of idleness in this lifetime, but now he enjoyed a rare moment of leisure.
Xuan Ming asked, "Where to now?"
Wukong nodded and replied, "Let’s head to the Ancient Tomb. The Ancient Tomb was forged and refined by ancient powerhouses with their Essence Blood. Once I take it and re-sacrifice it, it will become another powerful Magical Treasure."
The two then made their way to the Ancient Tomb. Wukong acquired the Ancient Tomb and, through the sacrifice of True Fire, forged it into a Magical Treasure, creating a small world within it. Its power was not insignificant.
By now, the first great elixir made by Hong Jun had been consumed a great deal, only a piece the size of a rock remaining, and Primordial Qi was still leaking from it, absorbed by the cultivators. It wouldn’t be long before it was completely exhausted. Wukong lent them a hand, dispersing the condensed Primordial Qi within it. All cultivators frantically absorbed it, the strong naturally absorbing more and the weak less.
Upon seeing Wukong approaching, Xue Rengui immediately prostrated himself on the ground and said, "Disciple pays respect to Master and Mistress."
Despite Wukong’s desire for equality among all people, he could not forget the importance of courtesy. A teacher is an elder, the equivalent of one’s parents, and one must not neglect to pay respects.
