Journey to the West (Black Myth)

Hearing his continuous muttering, Taiyin was both irritated and pained, thinking, "I intentionally gave you a chance to fulfill your wish, so why say such words to provoke me? I do not like to hear them. Fortunately, you are the Essence of the Sun, and I, being the Essence of the Moon, mean you are destined to never escape my grasp; in the future, you will surely have to repay me!"

"Just earlier, when we were together, and you teased me like that, it was truly a mixture of discomfort and longing. Who would have thought it would bring me such joy, feeling like I was dying and coming back to life several times? But even so, my heart was filled with happiness. Could this be the saying 'better to be a couple among mortals than immortals'? At that moment, I truly wished to be with you forever, to be endlessly teased by you, and I would be infinitely happy."

"However, you might not have expected a turning point in my appearance, with signs of separation from my body when you teased me to the brink before. After I retreat for a hundred years, perhaps I could refine it into a treasure or numerous avatars. But for now, I won't tell you this; I need to test you again, should you disregard my affection, you will not have a good future!"

Thinking this, she calculated mentally and realized a day had passed. Taiyin snorted softly and gradually awoke, seeing Shi Yue at the cave entrance, ready to escape at any moment, looking at her nervously. He suddenly asked, "Senior Sister, how do you feel?"

Taiyin intentionally furrowed her delicate eyebrows, but when her adorable yet infuriating junior brother silently took a small step back, she had to relax her eyebrows and said, "My powers have fully recovered, but…"

Shi Yue's heart skipped a beat as he discreetly took another small step back, looking nervous. "What? Haha, is there anything uncomfortable?"

Taiyin slightly furrowed her delicate eyebrows again and pretended to think deeply without speaking until she could hear Shi Yue's clear heartbeat. She then calmly said, "It's just that there's something more in my body…"

Shi Yue hurriedly interrupted, "Aha, well, Senior Sister, since your powers have fully recovered, I still have some urgent matters, so I'll leave first. No need to see me off, but if you really miss me, come to Flower Fruit Mountain to find me. I'll be sure to welcome you. Goodbye, no need to send me off."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Yue's figure shot up into the sky with a whoosh, disappearing at the horizon in the blink of an eye.

At this, Taiyin's eyes brightened and her lips curved slightly as she continued, "It's just that there's a new essence of the sun in my body, which is greatly beneficial to me, allowing my powers to advance further. But even though you are so afraid of me, I find happiness in my heart."

Finished speaking, Taiyin gently rose from the black lotus, her body unstained by dust or smoke. She raised her jade hand, and the Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus shrank to the size of an egg and flew into her hand, and then she flew towards the cave entrance.

Once outside, she glanced over the deep valley and suddenly murmured to herself, "From now on, I shall be called Black Lotus Fairy; this strange peak shall be Measuring Heaven Mountain, and this cave shall be Measuring Heaven Cave."

After finishing her words, she pointed above the cave entrance, and a flash of golden light appeared, instantly showing the three ancient seal characters "Measure Heaven Cave." Then, she pointed to the towering peak cliff, and again, the words "Measure Heaven Mountain" appeared. Finally, she glanced at the cave one more time and then stepped forward, vanishing instantly.

Meanwhile, Shi Yue, escaping from the cave, found himself drenched in cold sweat despite his current Taiyi Immortal Body, simply because he felt disgusted by his own actions! There was no choice, he felt guilty and had no face to confront her. He wondered why, during his time passing through the Southern Continent, he encountered numerous beauties from noble families without feeling anything, yet with his mischievous senior sister, his lust clouded his reason.

Standing amidst the clouds, he wiped away the sweat and couldn't help but grit his teeth, thinking, "Damn it, what's there to be afraid of! If she indeed gets pregnant, I'll just take responsibility! Hmm... I guess that junior sister will figure it out sooner or later; I'd better hide for now. Luckily, dear Master Bodhi is no longer around, but I still wonder about that old fellow's true background..."

Patriarch Bodhi was the only mystery he couldn't unravel; his supernatural abilities felt equivalent to the level of a sage. However, considering this Journey to the West era, unless one could overthrow the two big bosses, Tathagata and The Jade Emperor, it would be hard to encounter a higher-level existence. Maybe only then could the mystery of Patriarch Bodhi be solved, but now was not the time to think about this issue.

For now, he couldn't return to Flower Fruit Mountain, for if his mischievous junior sister realized what happened, got furious, and came after him, what then? Thinking of Senior Sister Taiyin, he felt deeply guilty yet couldn't help but worry, having run off like this, what if she encounters someone troublesome like Pilanpo again? Damn! Am I being too irresponsible?

He used to subconsciously consider Taiyin as his girl, but now she truly became his woman, and naturally, his worry increased exponentially, making Shi Yue feel deeply conflicted again.

But considering this is the Journey to the West era, with the biggest bosses being those like Tathagata or The Jade Emperor, beings of Zhenyuan's level, since they could rely on their divine abilities to battle against the likes of Pusa Pilanp at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level for half a day, it seemed that as long as no Daluo existed, the world should be quite accessible. Plus, he now had the Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus to protect himself, even if not fully refined, it could easily handle a real fight against a renowned Bodhisattva like Guanyin.

The thought that Senior Sister Taiyin might one day possibly have a magical duel with the famed Guanyin made Shi Yue indulge whimsically, fantasizing about Black Lotus Fairy vs. Guanyin Bodhisattva, wondering who truly possessed greater supernatural powers and boundless magic! Sitting on the innate treasure, the Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, a...

Shi Yue suddenly couldn't recall what Guanyin sat on; it seemed that she often stood. The only thing he could associate with Guanyin sitting was "****** Damn it! But that's a posture of love!

Suddenly, Shi Yue couldn't help but laugh maniacally amidst the clouds. If anyone were passing by, they'd certainly exclaim, "Where did this lunatic come from?"

"Hmm... That woman seems to love pretending, so if she fights with my black lotus, what should I do? Cheer for my girl from the sidelines? No, no, I'm too scared of that mischievous junior sister. Damn! Why am I afraid of a mischievous junior sister? She's turned the world upside down!"

Shi Yue then looked around, realizing he had no idea where he was, and remembered Sun Wukong, forcing himself to refocus his thoughts.

Now there were less than a hundred years until the havoc in the Heavenly Palace, how could he prevent such a calamity from occurring? If Sun Wukong doesn't wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace, isn't pressed under the Five Fingers Mountain, nor becomes Tang Monk's senior disciple, then who should he become?

The grand momentum of this Journey to the West era continues to roll forward, beyond his ability to stop it. Yet, having lived alongside Sun Wukong for countless years, he had long acknowledged Sun Wukong as a brother in his heart. Sun Wukong's monkey nature might be hard to change, his temper volatile, but he is his brother!

Shi Yue often felt proud to be able to share life with Sun Wukong, and he admired Sun Wukong's indomitable spirit and courage to challenge the heavens.

Whether it is ignorance or fearlessness, they are destined to be brothers and do not fear any grand battle. If anyone dares to harm my brother, I, Shi Yue, absolutely will not agree!

If someday my brother becomes the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, I will be the Great Sage Measuring Heaven, to measure the sky.

Standing proudly in the clouds, with a change in his thoughts, Shi Yue seemed like a different person. After pondering for a while, he resolutely flew towards the direction of East Victory Continent. If trouble comes, the worst-case scenario is that I hide in the Measuring Sky Staff. However, my Flower Fruit Mountain is a place of disputes, and it's best if the mischievous junior sister doesn't come. The monumental tribulations will be shouldered by Sun Wukong and me.

It is still too early to plan for Journey to the West. He plans to return and carefully arrange Flower Fruit Mountain. Less than a hundred years should be enough time. You, The Heavenly Court, have your heavenly nets, but I also have The Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits and The Art of the Six Jia Divination. You have a hundred thousand celestial soldiers, but Flower Fruit Mountain is not to be trifled with. If you dare to come, I dare to make you suffer a great setback. At worst, I'll hide with all the monkeys in the Measuring Sky Staff, causing you, The Heavenly Court, to lose face!

During several years inside the Measuring Sky Staff, Shi Yue had been preparing for the future calamities of Flower Fruit Mountain. He mainly cultivated the Golden Body of Dharma, External Incarnation technique, and "Somersault Cloud." The first was for desperate fights, naturally for countering the future hundred thousand celestial soldiers, while "Somersault Cloud" was for escaping. He only cultivated the useful aspects of The Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits, as many divine abilities have yet to be trained.

Especially with the External Incarnation, he used his body's hair as the foundation. Though his body hair was equivalent to human body hair in quantity, it amounted to 300,000 hairs. With a shake, 300,000 monkeys appeared. Of course, these monkeys looked just like him, all black-furred, but with power only at the initial transformation stage, without internal power, making them even more monkey-like.

Such divine power is, of course, best suited to counter the hundred thousand celestial soldiers. Though their power level is low, there is room for growth, just like his body hair grows. However, their metabolism differs drastically from ordinary humans, and while they grow, they also shed, having a growth limit. But he still had a hundred thousand hairs on his head! For a Taiyi realm demon king, turning a single hair into a true immortal-level minor demon king is effortless.

These numerous minor demons with cultivation were most suitable for setting up the Six Jia Divination Array! Specifically, he also spent three thousand drops of blood essence to create three thousand avatars with infinite growth potential, which is his ultimate trump card and last resort of survival. In dire straits, if even one avatar escapes, he can survive. Currently, the three thousand avatars are all cultivating inside the Measuring Sky Staff space, relying on his intentions. He couldn't help but think that maybe creating avatars with independent consciousness is the ultimate realm of External Incarnation.

Reflecting on this, Shi Yue suddenly felt that the various divine powers that Patriarch Bodhi taught him and Sun Wukong had deeper meanings. Was it really just teaching Sun Wukong how to cause trouble? The Golden Body of Dharma was evidently more mysterious than the Buddhist three-head six-arm golden body divine power. External Incarnation was both a method to face the hundred thousand celestial soldiers and a mysterious life-saving divine power. "Somersault Cloud," once mastered, allowed one to leap 108,000 miles, and there was even a so-called perfection, making it an absolute escape method.

Looking again at The Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits of the Seventy-two Earthly Fiends, either could, through mastery, lead to Dao attainment at the Da Luo level! With so many divine abilities, would Tathagata teach a disciple who could potentially rival himself? Clearly, the notion that Bodhi is Tathagata is unfounded.

What even Shi Yue himself wasn't aware of is that, as the Essence of the Sun, he could be considered an anomaly in this mythological era, destined to be countered by the Essence of the Moon. If Taiyin hadn't had the opportunity to follow Patriarch Bodhi and learn the Golden Core Path, it would have been one thing, as struggling through cultivation on her own would never allow her to catch up with him. However, now that they both studied under the same grand path, it's uncertain who might achieve greater accomplishments faster in the future. Patriarch Bodhi doesn't just accept any disciple.

As for Sun Wukong, he embodies the Pure Yang Body, akin to The Jade Emperor of The Heavenly Court, with only one emerging every million years. Otherwise, he wouldn't have survived the Old Lord's Eight Trigrams Furnace and its True Samadhi Fire. Instead, through his ordeal in the True Samadhi Fire, he achieved Nirvana and Enlightenment, developing the Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze.
