The incantation for the One Hundred and Eight Transformations of the Heavenly Stars and Earthly Demons instantly imprinted itself into Xu Fang's spiritual platform, following Master Bodhi's movements.

  Almost instinctively, he mobilized the magical power within him, aligning it with the incantation, and began to operate it.

  The entire process flowed as smoothly as a gentle stream, without any hesitation!

  After all, he didn’t need to ponder and struggle like the monkey; with the assistance of the Celestial Technique Comprehension Body, this mere One Hundred and Eight Transformations was a piece of cake!

  Boom—

  A muffled sound echoed as the incantation for the One Hundred and Eight Transformations cycled through his body!

  Immediately, Xu Fang rose tall, and amidst a burst of brilliance, he suddenly transformed into a piece of blue stone!

  This was one of the transformations he had comprehended!

  In the blink of an eye, he transformed again into a long snake, a vulture, and a falcon...

  The One Hundred and Eight Transformations were just a minor technique; as Xu Fang's transformations became increasingly proficient, the various divine powers began to manifest through him.

  Boom!

  A flash of spiritual light surged forth, causing the entire gate of Fangcun Mountain to tremble as if a dragon was flipping over and the pillars of heaven were collapsing!

  Xu Fang revealed his true form, extending his finger, and magical power gushed out, causing the ground to suddenly rip open a bottomless chasm!

  The chasm widened, tearing the earth apart!

  Simultaneously, a howling wind blew from within the fissure, accompanied by the wails of vengeful spirits and terrifying ghosts!

  “Shatter the mountain, split the earth, and connect to the shadows!”

  Master Bodhi’s eyes revealed a hint of admiration.

  In just a short moment, Xu Fang had mastered the divine ability of the One Hundred and Eight Transformations of the Heavenly Stars and Earthly Demons, and he was becoming increasingly adept at it, which naturally pleased Master Bodhi.

  However, since this was his dwelling place, it was not suitable for Xu Fang to practice here!

  “Wu Fa, retract your divine powers!”

  With a flick of his sleeve, Master Bodhi’s powerful quasi-saint strength suppressed the phenomenon Xu Fang had conjured!

  At that moment, Xu Fang regained his senses, looking at Master Bodhi’s quarters and the entire Fangcun Mountain, which he had shaken, feeling somewhat embarrassed as he scratched his head. “Master, forgive me; I momentarily lost myself…”

  “Enough, you’ve disturbed the mountain. From now on, you are responsible for restoring it to its original state!”

  Master Bodhi certainly wouldn’t blame Xu Fang; for such an exceptionally gifted disciple, he was too pleased to even express his surprise.

  “Yes, disciple will obey.”

  Xu Fang nodded.

  On the other side, Sun Wukong gazed at him with envy.

  If he had the same comprehension and talent as his Master Brother, he feared he would have already acquired such powerful magical abilities by now!

  Stolen novel; please report.

  It seemed that he truly had to work diligently in his cultivation!

  With this thought, Sun Wukong calmed his heart, determined to thoroughly study the teachings imparted by Master Bodhi.

  Seeing the reactions of the two, Master Bodhi nodded slightly and said, “Today, I have imparted the teachings to both of you. In a short time, you will integrate them. Wu Fa, wait for your junior brother to get the hang of it, and I will teach you both new divine techniques!”

  After all, he hadn’t forgotten the purpose of his arrival at Fangcun Mountain; since the monkey hadn’t yet entered the path, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to favor Xu Fang alone.

  Xu Fang nodded as well. Over the course of one night, he had already learned the Primordial Art of Nine Grades and the One Hundred and Eight Transformations of the Heavenly Stars and Earthly Demons. He was quite satisfied.

  After all, the path of cultivation was vast and endless; there was no need to rush.

  One Year Later.

  In the back mountains of Fangcun Mountain.

  Amidst the inhalation and exhalation of spiritual energy, Xu Fang's magical power flowed continuously, perfectly aligning with the operation of the Primordial Art of Nine Grades.

  In the entire back mountain, there was no one else besides Xu Fang!

  It had been a year since Master Bodhi’s last lecture, and he was about to deliver another.

  However, Xu Fang did not go to the main hall with the other disciples to listen to the teachings.

  He had already comprehended the teachings of Master Bodhi, and moreover, he had practiced the Primordial Art of Nine Grades and the One Hundred and Eight Transformations of the Heavenly Stars and Earthly Demons. Master Bodhi had instructed him to focus on his cultivation in the back mountain, rendering it unnecessary for him to attend the front hall.

  This suited Xu Fang perfectly.

  After all, the Primordial Art of Nine Grades was relatively quiet.

  But the One Hundred and Eight Transformations, any one of which could cause quite a stir, made the tranquil back mountain a more suitable place for his practice.

  Although he had successfully made a breakthrough in the three techniques, reaching a profound level would still require time and effort.

  During this year, Xu Fang had not been idle; he had successfully mastered the methods of the Heavenly Stars and Earthly Demons. To enhance their power, however, he needed a deeper level of magical power.

  Now his cultivation was at the level of a Heavenly Immortal, and he was only able to utilize a portion of the One Hundred and Eight Transformations; the rest could only be wielded at a higher level of mastery.

  During this period of cultivation, Xu Fang also discovered a delightful surprise!

  Aside from the One Hundred and Eight Transformations, the Primordial Art of Nine Grades actually had hidden functions!

  That is, the ability to comprehend divine powers!

  In the original text, after Sun Wukong cultivated the Primordial Art of Nine Grades, he independently comprehended numerous divine powers, such as Emulating Heaven and Earth, Hair-Blowing Transformation, Moving Mountains and Crossing Waters, and so on.

  Though these minor divine powers were not as formidable as the One Hundred and Eight Transformations, they held their own unique advantages at critical moments!

  At this moment, as Xu Fang operated the Primordial Art of Nine Grades, he suddenly comprehended two divine techniques!

  Boom!

  As his magical power flowed, in almost an instant, a towering figure, identical to him, emerged with great ferocity!

  This figure emanated a pressure that could shake the heavens and the earth, capable of unleashing any divine power Xu Fang possessed!

  The only drawback was the rapid consumption of magical power!

  This was Emulating Heaven and Earth!

  This divine technique was quite common in the Three Realms, with many practitioners, yet it did not signify that it was any less powerful.

  On the contrary, when this divine technique was first comprehended, it stood at a thousand zhang tall, but as one’s cultivation deepened, the Emulating Heaven and Earth could evolve to ten thousand zhang, or even a million zhang!

  At that time, should one invoke the法相 in battle, with a mere wave of the hand, the heavens and earth would bow down!

  “It was worth my time; I finally comprehended this divine technique!”

  Xu Fang’s eyes sparkled with delight. But it wasn’t over yet; as he retracted Emulating Heaven and Earth, a strand of black hair fell from his head!

  Then, Xu Fang abruptly blew on the strand of black hair, a faint trace of spiritual energy wafting over; the fallen hair instantly transformed into a man identical to Xu Fang!

  This was the divine technique, Hair-Blowing Transformation!

  Looking at this doppelg?nger, Xu Fang attempted to throw a punch, and the doppelg?nger immediately shattered!

  “This hair-blown doppelg?nger can only maintain about twenty percent of my strength…”

  Xu Fang furrowed his brows slightly. Such a doppelg?nger, if used for combat, would be practically useless.

  Moreover, the doppelg?nger had to rely on his own hair as a medium…

  “This won’t do; I still need to study the other divine techniques within the Heavenly Stars and Earthly Demons. This Hair-Blowing Transformation may seem flashy, but even if I had a full head of hair, I can’t afford to keep pulling it out…”

  Xu Fang felt a bit troubled; after all, he wasn’t like Sun Wukong, who was covered in fur. If he recklessly used this technique like the monkey, he would likely end up bald in no time!
