"Just call me Wukong, and don't reveal any weaknesses in front of the master," Wukong said at the right moment.
"Brother Wukong, what do you mean by that?" Bai Wenyuan asked hurriedly.
"I'm just guessing, I don't know if I'm right." Wukong paused, pursed his lips, and said.
"Brother Wukong, please speak freely," Bai Wenyuan said.
"I said that Master's current realm is above that of an immortal, do you have any objections?" Wukong asked.
"No." Bai Wenyuan shook his head.
Every gesture they make is accompanied by the laws of nature; this is something only immortals possess.
"Master is so powerful, how could he not see my cultivation level? How could he not know that Bai Xu's tetanus medicine was ineffective?" Wukong asked again.
"This..." Bai Wenyuan paused for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Brother Wukong, just say it."
"Didn't you say before that there was a great person? Master's Heavenly Soul was spoiled by this great person, right?" Wukong said.
“That’s right.” Bai Wenyuan nodded.
"I suspect that the important figure wanted the master to cultivate a mortal heart, so he asked the master to conceal his aura and transform from an immortal to a mortal. Only those who are not at the Creation Realm level can detect anything. In this way, the master will appear to most people as an ordinary person."
"Cultivating a mortal heart?" Bai Wenyuan frowned and thought for a moment. "What you're saying seems to make some sense."
He remembered reading in a very, very ancient document that back then, the Heavenly Path had not yet been severed. Some powerful beings who wanted to advance their cultivation would choose to transform from immortals to mortals and advance further by cultivating their mortal hearts.
"That's why we need to be extra careful and absolutely not interfere with our master's cultivation," Wukong said. "In addition, I think we need to try to understand our master's intentions more. Since our master has transformed from an immortal to a mortal, there are many things he can't say explicitly. We need to try to understand them more deeply."
“Brother Wukong is right.” Bai Wenyuan nodded vigorously. “Fortunately, Brother Wukong is wise, otherwise we might have made a big mistake.”
“Now that we are on the same side, I will naturally not hold back,” Wukong said. “Besides, following our master has brought us unimaginable benefits, and perhaps we can even break the current taboos of this world.”
"Break the taboos of this world?" Bai Wenyuan's eyes lit up immediately: "Brother Wukong is right, this is our opportunity."
Perhaps, they will truly have a chance to break through to the Immortal Realm in the future.
Even after leaving the hidden place, Bai Wuji still felt a sense of unreality when looking at Wukong.
This tiny monkey, barely a foot tall, is none other than the infamous Demon King Ping Jing.
Back then, it wreaked havoc in the Central Continent, forcing two reclusive families to unleash their sealed Heavenly Grade spiritual artifacts, yet it still managed to escape in the end.
In his mind, the Demon King Pingjing must be a truly upright and indomitable demon.
Who knew...
It feels very fantastical.
Wukong glanced at Bai Wuji and said, "Now we're practically family. If you encounter any bottlenecks in your cultivation in the future, I can help you for free. Don't be shy, little one."
"Thank you, Demon... Wukong," Bai Wuji said respectfully.
Outside, Bai Qingqing was looking for Wukong.
In the blink of an eye, the man...and the monkey disappeared.
Just then, I looked up and saw Wukong walking ahead with his two little paws on his back, looking like a big shot.
The father and mother followed behind.
They seem quite respectful?
Bai Qingqing rubbed her eyes and saw Wukong running towards her quickly, while her father and mother chatted and laughed.
Hmm, I must have been seeing things.
"I've been looking for you for ages." Bai Qingqing bent down and picked up Wukong, tapping its little nose and scolding, "Don't run around like that anymore, understand?"
"Squeak." Wukong immediately nodded obediently.
“It’s understandable that Wukong is curious since he’s new to the Star Moon Sect, so please don’t blame him,” Yuexi said with a gentle smile.
"I'll let you off this time because of your mother's sake, but I won't let you off next time," Bai Qingqing said smoothly, not really intending to punish Wukong.
Wukong immediately smiled ingratiatingly.
"I prepared a dessert yesterday, which is perfect for the hot summer. Mother and Father, would you like to try it?" Bai Qingqing invited warmly.
“Our Qingqing can also make desserts, then I must try them.” Bai Wuji immediately chimed in.
"Big brother, second brother..." Bai Qingqing called out six times towards the distance, then said, "Wukong has been found, we can go back now."
Soon, the group returned to Bai Qingqing's courtyard in a grand procession.
Bai Qingqing took out ten servings of crystal grape jelly.
Everyone except Wukong stared wide-eyed.
This spoon, this plate...
Heavenly Grade Spiritual Weapon!
"Stop making those faces. Don't look like you country bumpkins who've never seen the world before. Not only are these tableware top-grade spiritual artifacts, but this crystal grape jelly is also incredibly precious," Wukong transmitted to the eight of them.
The six Bai brothers immediately widened their eyes and looked at Wukong, who was squatting leisurely next to Bai Qingqing.
This little monkey can actually transmit sound?
"Wukong is Senior Demon King Pingjing. I'll explain to you later. For now, we'll do as Senior says," Bai Wuji hurriedly transmitted his voice.
Bai Wuji's words only made the six Bai brothers even more astonished.
Fortunately, Wukong reminded them again, which calmed their astonishment.
When it came time to eat the grape crystal jelly, the expressions on everyone's faces became quite interesting.
"This is... a top-grade spiritual spring and a supreme-grade spiritual root?" Bai Yu couldn't help but ask telepathically.
"You ignorant brat, this is the Nine Heavens Divine Spring, an innate spiritual root, and a Spirit-Nourishing Powder. Any one of these things, if it appears in the world, can trigger a great war." Wukong completely forgot that when he first met them yesterday, he wasn't much better off than them.
"This, this spiritual power is too immense, I feel like I'm about to advance." Before Bai Hao's voice transmission had even finished, his cultivation level soared like a rocket.
Not only the six Bai brothers, but also Bai Wuji and Yuexi have advanced.
However, because their cultivation levels were higher, they did not advance as much as the six Bai brothers.
However, he also stepped from the peak of the ninth level of the Transformation Realm to the Returning Origin Realm in one fell swoop.
According to the original schedule, they would have to cultivate diligently for at least several decades, or even hundreds of years, before they could be promoted.
Even worse, some people never manage to reach the Returning Origin Realm in their entire lives.
"Is it delicious?" Bai Qingqing looked at everyone expectantly.
"Delicious!" Bai Xu answered first. "My little sister is amazing. I've never had this kind of dessert before. It's absolutely delicious."
"Yes, it's so delicious I almost bit my tongue off." Bai Sheng nodded repeatedly.
"I'm glad you like it. I still have half a bag of white jelly powder. I'll make you crystal peach jelly next time." Bai Qingqing said excitedly, "It's just a pity there's no milk, otherwise it would be even more delicious."
White jelly powder...
Wukong blinked. Was this another name for the Pregnancy Spirit Powder?
"Milk?" Bai Wuji was taken aback and asked, "Cow milk has a fishy smell, can it be used to make desserts? We raise black spirit cows in the back mountain. If Qingqing wants some, I'll send someone to get some later."
