Xu Fang noticed that everyone on Fangcun Mountain had gathered to watch, but he had no time to acknowledge them.

  Within the calamity clouds, boundless thunder and fire surged, constantly enhancing his fire attribute power.

  Crack—

  The thunder rumbled, and the calamity fire continued to blaze!

  Before long, he reached the final stage of the tribulation!

  The True Immortal Thunder Tribulation consisted of forty-nine strikes, and before they could even descend, Xu Fang absorbed the fire attributes cleanly, while the remaining thunder only served to strengthen his physical body!

  “What cannot break me will only make me stronger!”

  At that moment, Xu Fang fully understood the meaning of this phrase. As the last bolt of thunder struck down and dissipated, he awakened from his increasingly profound insights.

  Gazing at the dissipating calamity clouds, Xu Fang flicked his wrist, summoning a flame that effortlessly incinerated the remaining clouds!

  Boom—

  Inside him, a resounding roar echoed as Xu Fang gained significant insights into the power of fire.

  “Disciple is fortunate and has lived up to Master’s expectations; I have broken into the True Immortal realm!”

  Nodding in satisfaction, Xu Fang landed before the gates of Fangcun Mountain and bowed to Master Bodhi.

  Master Bodhi looked at Xu Fang with pride, nodding slightly.

  With such an exceptional disciple, he felt a deep sense of contentment.

  “Wu Fa, your speed of breaking through is astonishing. I had expected it would take you at least three years to enter the True Immortal realm. I never anticipated that in just one year, you would achieve this. Moving forward, you need not continue your cultivation here; instead, you should venture into the world to gain experience and solidify your power.”

  As he spoke, Master Bodhi placed a hand on Xu Fang's shoulder, his tone serious. “Only by truly understanding your own strength can you wield it to its fullest. Your rapid cultivation makes me worry about your foundation. In three days, you will descend into the world.”

  Master Bodhi was not genuinely concerned for Xu Fang’s safety; after all, he had taught him everything necessary. With the power of a True Immortal, Xu Fang could protect himself in the Three Realms.

  However, if Wu Fa wished to go further in the future, the experience of the world was vital!

  Xu Fang nodded in agreement.

  During his time on Fangcun Mountain, he had learned the rules governing Master Bodhi’s disciples. Once a disciple reached the True Immortal realm, they had to venture into the world to temper themselves.

  This was known as worldly experience.

  After all, the next level after True Immortal was Profound Immortal, and at the pinnacle of Profound Immortal lay Golden Immortal.

  The Profound Immortal realm was shrouded in mystery; understanding it required profound insights.

  If one’s insights were insufficient, progress would be nearly impossible.

  Master Bodhi’s advice for entering the Profound Immortal realm was to undergo worldly experience!

  The three thousand realms of mortals were what the Profound represented; only by experiencing the myriad aspects of life could one attain the Profound Immortal realm!

  Thus, Xu Fang's task was to gain insights from the world, solidify his power, and perhaps even break through to the Profound Immortal realm!

  “Yes, I will diligently follow Master’s instructions.”

  With this thought in mind, Xu Fang bowed to Master Bodhi.

  Standing nearby, Sun Wukong cast an envious glance at Xu Fang.

  He couldn’t help but wonder when he might achieve the same status as his senior brother and venture into the world for experience!

  Of course, what Sun Wukong did not know was that as a pawn in this game, he would never have such opportunities!

  The moment he perfected his skills would be the moment he descended into the world, and he would never experience the same kind of journey as Xu Fang.

  After Master Bodhi gave his instructions, he turned to leave.

  Xu Fang steadied himself, planning to return to his dwelling to gather his belongings.

  However, Sun Wukong suddenly spoke up, “Senior brother, have you thought about where you might go for your worldly experience?”

  Xu Fang shook his head. “Master only mentioned gaining experience in the world and didn’t specify a destination. I’ll just wander wherever I go.”

  “In that case, if you have time, senior brother, you should visit Huaguo Mountain in the East Victory Divine Continent. I wonder how my little ones are doing…”

  Sun Wukong's eyes gleamed with hope as he spoke.

  Having come to Fangcun Mountain to learn, he naturally missed his monkey kin.

  Xu Fang nodded in agreement, promising Sun Wukong he would visit.

  After all, he had no particular destination in mind; it wouldn’t hurt to take a trip.

  Just then, Yang Chan, who had been listening to Xu Fang and Sun Wukong, suddenly brightened and stepped forward. “Wu Fa, since you’re going to Huaguo Mountain, could you also visit the Dragon Palace in the East Sea for me?”

  “Why do you want to go to the Dragon Palace?” Xu Fang asked, puzzled by her request.

  Yang Chan quickly explained, “I’m close friends with the Fourth Princess of the East Sea. Having come to Fangcun Mountain to study, I might get bored here. If you go to the East Sea, could you please send a message to her, asking her to visit me here when she has time?”

  What she didn’t say was that her real intention was to see if she could convince the Fourth Princess to come and study under Master Bodhi as well!

  “Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered the side quest: [Check-in at Huaguo Mountain]. Quest reward: Mastery of Magical Artifacts, Strength +100.”

  “Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered the side quest: [Check-in at the East Sea Dragon Palace]. Quest reward: Mastery of Weapons, Insight +100.”

  At that moment, the system in Xu Fang's mind chimed in.

  Xu Fang paused for a moment, realizing that a trip to the East Sea and Huaguo Mountain was indeed necessary!

  It seems the system knows how to take advantage of every opportunity!

  “No problem, since the East Sea is adjacent to Huaguo Mountain, if I go, I will certainly deliver the message.”

  Xu Fang nodded, then added, “But words alone won’t suffice. Yang Junior Sister, you should give me a token, or else I won’t be able to convince the Fourth Princess.”

  He then turned his gaze to Sun Wukong, continuing, “Wukong, you should do the same; it would be best to give me a token as well, or I won’t be able to convince your monkey kin.”

  “Of course,” Sun Wukong replied readily.

  Yang Chan nodded, contemplating for a moment before removing a hairpin from her head and handing it to Xu Fang. “This hairpin was given to me by the Fourth Princess. She will believe me when she sees it.”

  Xu Fang accepted the hairpin and then looked at Sun Wukong. “And you?”

  Sun Wukong thought for a moment before pulling a hair from his head and explaining, “As the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain, all the monkeys there are familiar with my aura. This hair can prove my identity…”

  “That’s quite lacking in elegance,” Xu Fang remarked with a chuckle, but he still carefully stored the hair away. He then bowed to the two and headed toward his cave abode.

  It was time to pack his belongings and prepare for his journey into the world.

  With this journey, the entire Three Realms would be set ablaze!

  Xu Fang's name would soon resound throughout the Three Realms!
