The Investiture: Unlimited Blade Works Nezha

Chapter 448: Wukong's Daily Pursuit of the Dao


Nezha now understands why there's a term called 'monkey anxiousness.' Wukong's foundation is extremely good, almost overly so, surpassing Nezha's initial quality a thousandfold.

As soon as he embarks on the Immortal Path, it's as if he travels a thousand miles in a day.

What he lacks is not power but a heart that can control power.

"Cultivation relies on gradual accumulation, with the mind over power, why are you in such a hurry?"

Sun Wukong straightforwardly said, "It's been over a hundred years since I left Huaguo Mountain to go overseas, I don't even know if the monkeys on the mountain are still there. I'm really worried now."

Nezha knew the monkeys on Huaguo Mountain could not die, but he couldn't tell Wukong, so he could only comfort him, "Seeking immortality and learning the way is like this, what the master plans to teach and when is not for me, as a senior brother, to decide. But I've recently researched a Divine Skill, do you want to try it?"

Wukong immediately got excited upon hearing this. He had been here for about three to four years and was acutely aware that the most special things in the Daoist Temple were Master Puti and the senior brother.

"Senior brother, senior brother, teach me."

Nezha nodded and reached out to pull out the notes he recently made on cultivating the Six Divine Powers. Suddenly, with a clatter, a Memory Stone accidentally fell out.

Wukong, quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbed it straight away, curious to play with it and asked, "Senior brother, what is this?"

"This is a Memory Stone."

Saying that, he injected a bit of mana into it, and the recorded images began to play. In it, a shining golden-haired fellow was sitting in a pile of ruins, with a flag behind him inscribed with Emperor Jin Can.

Wukong was captivated by the aura of arrogance in the demons inside and couldn't help asking, "Senior brother, who is this?"

While searching, Nezha explained, "This was a scene of a Great Demon causing havoc in the Heaven Palace back in the day. I just happened to pass by and recorded it."

Wukong was no longer the ignorant monkey of the past; these years of learning had given him a renewed understanding of the world. To those who had not entered the Immortal Class, the Heavenly Court was something they yearned for, even if Nezha thought it was barely holding up.

Who doesn't want to become an Immortal with a stable position?

During the Sealing God Period, the position no one saw as much, preferring to fight for it, has now become something everyone envies, willing to fight over it, it just shows how times have changed.

The departure of a Saint seemed trivial but indeed affected every creature in the Primordial world; it was a fact that becoming an Immortal had become difficult.

Wukong was stirred after watching Jin Can cause havoc in the Heaven Palace, thinking it was much more exciting than smashing the Longevity Temple himself. At this moment, he greatly admired Jin Can and wanted to get acquainted with him.

At this time, Nezha pulled out four secret books from his sleeve: "Golden Eyes," "Six Ears," "Mind Reading," and "Divine Power."

They correspond to the Buddhist Sect's Six Divine Powers: Heavenly Vision, Heavenly Ear Technique, Telepathy, and Divine Power. He thought Wukong might not be interested in Destiny Communication, and he hadn't mastered Leakage-Free Communication himself.

These four Divine Skills were modifications Nezha made based on his insights, considered his own second creation. As for the names, he could have named them simply as eye, ear, heart, and foot, but doing so would make the monkey feel slighted.

Wukong excitedly scratched his mouth and asked, "Senior brother, what are their uses? Please tell me quickly."

Nezha didn't stall, pointing to "Golden Eyes" and said, "Once mastered, this Divine Skill allows you to observe the heavens above and the geography below, to see through all illusions and directly perceive the essence of things.

This Six Ears can listen to all the words in the Three Realms.

Mind Reading can detect the inner thoughts of all sentient beings.

Divine Power allows you to traverse space, to detach from any tangible restraints."

Wukong listened happily, his eyes rolling; a little monkey would make a choice, but as the Monkey King, he wanted it all!

"Senior brother, could you teach me all of them?"

Nezha neither refused nor agreed; though they kept calling each other senior brother and junior brother, Nezha wouldn't begrudge a few Divine Skills, but he couldn't let the monkey go astray as cultivation is the core, and Divine Skills are just techniques to safeguard the path.

"How about this, you pick one to learn first, and once you've mastered it, come back to me, and I'll teach you the next one?"

"Sure, senior brother, sure, eat fruit, eat fruit."

"Which one would you like to learn first?"

The monkey didn't hesitate to choose "Golden Eyes," no other reason, he just wanted to tell all the three-eyed ones in the world that two eyes aren't necessarily worse than three!

Nezha wasn't surprised, although in terms of practical value, "Divine Power" would benefit Wukong the most, but he had the right to be capricious.

He put away the other three secret books under Wukong's reluctant gaze, and then began to instruct on the cultivation method of "Golden Eyes." It should be emphasized that Wukong does have mana in his body, a very large amount, which was accumulated while he was still in the Divine Stone, but now he cannot use this mana or convert it into his own cultivation.

Now it's like blood in the human body; he cannot control it, it only flows spontaneously to aid Wukong, similar to acquired experience points in a game with no unlocked upgrade path or skills to level up, this is Wukong's current state.

The first stage of cultivating Golden Eyes requires ample mana gestation, which is a luxury for someone just stepping onto the Immortal Path, but for the Shi Hou, who has existed since the time of Heavenly Creation and Earth Breaking, it's a mere drop in the ocean.

Wukong was very happy, after cultivating for a period of time, even though he hadn't enjoyed other benefits of this Divine Skill yet, his vision improved greatly each day, and this tangible gain made him very pleased, boosting his martial arts by twenty percent thanks to his improved vision.
