Xu Fang and Sun Wukong waited outside Master Bodhi's sleeping quarters until the third watch of the night.

  During this time, Xu Fang successfully completed the system sign-in, and the rewards were issued.

  However, since Xu Fang had yet to practice any techniques, the system's reward—the Celestial Technique Comprehension Body—was only in the process of merging and had not yet been utilized.

  Master Bodhi, lying on the bed, had long known that the two had arrived. As he calculated the time, he leisurely "woke" from his slumber.

  “Difficult, difficult, difficult! The Dao is most profound. Do not treat the Golden Elixir lightly! Without encountering the right person to impart the wondrous teachings, it is merely empty words, tangled tongues!”

  As he listened to Master Bodhi's seemingly dreamy mutterings, Xu Fang understood that Master Bodhi was pretending to be asleep, so he felt little concern. In contrast, Sun Wukong beside him was left speechless.

  After all, he was the master; even his sleep-talk had such lofty qualities!

  “Why are you two not resting in your cave in the middle of the night? Why have you come to my quarters?”

  At that moment, Master Bodhi, feigning anger as if just waking up, asked.

  Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong felt somewhat nervous.

  After all, the master had not explicitly invited them to listen to his teachings; it was merely his own guess. What if he guessed wrong? Would the master blame him?

  On the other hand, Xu Fang remained completely composed. He smiled and replied, “Master, please calm your anger. Today, after you disciplined Junior Brother Wukong, we both gained some insights. We have come to disturb you at this late hour, hoping for your forgiveness and to receive your teachings.”

  Hearing Xu Fang's words, Master Bodhi smiled slightly and, intrigued, said, “Wu Fa, do tell. What insights do you have?”

  Xu Fang took a deep breath, thinking, Master, even now you’re still pretending!

  “Master, you struck Junior Brother Wukong three times with your ruler, indicating that he should come to seek your teachings at the third watch. Turning away suggested he should approach your quarters discreetly to avoid disturbing others. Your gaze towards me signified that I should accompany Junior Brother Wukong…”

  This explanation was not difficult to articulate. As soon as Xu Fang finished speaking, a gleam of joy flashed in Master Bodhi’s eyes. He thought to himself, this disciple's comprehension is indeed extraordinary!

  It seemed that his arrival at Fangcun Mountain to teach this naturally gifted stone monkey had led to unexpected joys!

  “There is no fourth person here. Since you two possess such wisdom, I shall impart the techniques to you both. It will not be in vain for you to have comprehended my hidden meanings!”

  Master Bodhi pondered for a moment and then continued, “I have many divine powers as vast as the starry sky, but given your exceptional talents, I have decided to first teach you the Primordial Art of Nine Grades!”

  The Primordial Art of Nine Grades, with each grade representing a realm!

  In the original “Journey to the West,” Sun Wukong had practiced this technique, becoming strong enough to defeat celestial generals with just three hundred years of cultivation!

  Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

  This clearly showed the power of this method!

  And what the monkey sought was nothing less than immortality, an indestructible existence, and transcendence!

  The Primordial Art of Nine Grades was precisely what he needed!

  What excited Xu Fang the most about this technique was that after cultivation, he could forge his celestial body and manifest personal attributes that suited him best!

  For instance, the original Sun Wukong, after cultivating, had developed a powerful physical form and even manifested a strong golden attribute!

  “Thank you, Master! I will definitely study diligently and live up to your expectations!”

  Xu Fang bowed deeply, and Sun Wukong hurriedly followed suit, saying, “Yes, yes! I will do the same!”

  Master Bodhi smiled and began to speak, his voice resonating with a mystical quality.

  With his quasi-saint level of cultivation and vast knowledge of countless techniques, the moment he began to impart the Primordial Art of Nine Grades, infinite phenomena erupted!

  In the midst of it all, a white lotus blossomed, from which profound golden words emerged, leading directly back to the essence of purity!

  This was the true path of cultivation!

  Xu Fang listened intently, and in an instant, he gained significant insight into the Primordial Art of Nine Grades being taught by Master Bodhi!

  After all, the Celestial Technique Comprehension Body awarded by the system was no joke.

  “Whoosh—”

  Xu Fang took a deep breath and suddenly found himself sitting cross-legged, channeling all the magical power within him, circulating it in the form of a celestial being!

  At that moment, Master Bodhi had completed the explanation of the Primordial Art of Nine Grades and was waiting for Xu Fang and Sun Wukong to comprehend it on their own.

  However, just moments later, a deep rumbling sound suddenly resonated within Xu Fang’s body!

  Master Bodhi’s eyes widened in shock!

  Even with his quasi-saint level state of mind, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “What the hell!”

  Because, within his sight, Xu Fang radiated with brilliance, and celestial energy surged forth as a white lotus bud blossomed from his dantian!

  This was clearly a sign of entering the Primordial Art of Nine Grades!

  For a moment, Master Bodhi even began to doubt whether his quasi-saint vision was malfunctioning.

  This Primordial Art of Nine Grades was the culmination of his life’s work, containing endless profound principles. Just the entry level alone could guide one’s inner attributes, extinguish life and death, and reach the realm of celestial beings!

  Of course, this technique was incredibly formidable, and entering it was naturally quite challenging!

  According to Master Bodhi’s expectations, even a naturally gifted stone monkey like Sun Wukong, with unparalleled luck, would take at least three years to grasp this method!

  But this Wu Fa…

  Why had he entered so swiftly?

  Meanwhile, Xu Fang was oblivious to Master Bodhi’s astonishment. He felt a faint connection forming between himself and the universe, as an unending stream of energy seemed to surge into his body.

  This energy was not mere spiritual energy; it was personal attributes!

  With the enhancement of the technique comprehension, grasping the Primordial Art of Nine Grades was not difficult for him. He understood the significance of the phenomenon happening within his body and continued circulating his magical power.

  Zzz—

  A flicker of firelight ignited, initially faint but gradually growing, spreading like wildfire around Xu Fang!

  This was his personal attribute manifesting!

  “It turns out to be fire attribute!”

  Master Bodhi was also taken aback, surprised that Xu Fang’s personal attribute was fire!

  This attribute was among the five elements and was extremely powerful!

  Those who cultivated this attribute could disregard all fires in the world!

  In a short span, the flames surrounding Xu Fang intensified, and his internal aura rapidly soared!

  With the Primordial Art of Nine Grades, he had caught a glimpse of the path to becoming a celestial being!

  Previously, Xu Fang had only been at the early Earth Immortal stage, but after Master Bodhi’s strike, he had comprehended and advanced to the mid-Earth Immortal realm.

  Now, having mastered the Primordial Art of Nine Grades, he directly reached the celestial being realm!

  In an instant, the spiritual energy within a thousand miles around Fangcun Mountain seemed to funnel toward Xu Fang, pouring down like a torrential storm!

  Then, it surged into Xu Fang’s body!

  Boom!

  A deep, muffled sound of breakthrough suddenly echoed!

  Celestial being realm, achieved!

  Master Bodhi watched in stunned silence as his disciple surged forward without restraint, his expression slightly dazed.

  This kid’s cultivation talent is simply too formidable!

  After all, the naturally born stone monkey, renowned for its unparalleled fortune, was still struggling to figure out how to circulate magical power!

  Truly, people are incomparable; some surpass others to such an extent!
