"The Art of Transforming Rainbows", the most powerful escape technique of the Golden Crow clan, was one of the best even in the prehistoric times.
Back then, Demon Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were both able to travel as far as 120,000 miles in one breath when they were in their prime.
You know, Sun Wukong's "Somersault Cloud" that fills the three realms can only do a somersault a hundred and eight thousand miles, and it takes three or four breaths to make a somersault.
However, this magical power also has a big drawback, that is, it consumes a lot of mana.
Today, Li Zhi has just broken through to the late stage of "Transcending the Tribulation". Even if he uses the "Rainbow Technique" with all his strength, he can only travel a thousand miles in one breath, and can barely last for ten breaths.
Even so, Li Zhi was very satisfied and even a little overjoyed.
His cultivation can continue to grow, and his realm can also continue to improve. With the "Rainbow Technique", he has completely made up for the shortcomings in the Flying Technique. He no longer needs to use Sun Wukong's "Somersault Cloud" when traveling long distances.
As a beginner, Li Zhi carefully operated the "Rainbow Transformation Technique" and slowly moved toward the west, one hundred miles, two hundred miles, three hundred miles in one breath...
A kind of pleasure that he had never experienced before rose in his heart. Li Zhi felt that only in this way could he be regarded as a "god", and he could barely achieve "a morning trip to Beihai and dusk Cangwu", right?
…
Li Zhi's "short" realization on Mount Futu was unexpectedly over three months later. Tang Seng, his master and his disciples set out on the westward journey and traveled more than five thousand miles.
After asking about the land, I found out that if we walk two to three thousand miles further west, we will leave Nanfanbuzhou and enter Xiniuhezhou, where demons are everywhere.
After walking more than five thousand miles, it was still peaceful, but he did not encounter a powerful demon. This made Sun Wukong, who had recently experienced a surge in cultivation, very depressed.
"Brother Monkey, I'm afraid you didn't work as hard as you do now when you were apprenticed to me, right? Is it possible that you were really stimulated by your junior brother?"
It was another scorching afternoon, and the sun was really scorching. The three masters and apprentices had no choice but to find a shady forest, and wait for the heat wave to pass before continuing on their way.
"Idiot, what do you know? When I was the strongest, I was only Taiyi Golden Immortal. I wasted so many flat peaches and golden elixirs."
"However, Lao Sun discovered that the energy of those flat peaches and golden elixirs has not completely disappeared. Actually, a lot of them still remain in my many acupoints and have not been completely refined and absorbed."
"Don't underestimate my junior brother. I heard him say that he has only been practicing for six or seven years, and he is already in the middle stage of becoming a god. When I became a disciple for six or seven years, I only knew how to pick peaches on the mountain to eat... …”
Since Yicheng came down from the mountain, Sun Wukong has never mentioned to anyone the matter of apprenticeship and learning skills, but today he accidentally thought of all that happened back then.
After sighing, Sun Wukong seemed to realize something again, so he closed his eyes and entered into practice again.
"Hey, seeing how diligent you are, I'm a little embarrassed to sleep in."
Yes, when they first met in Fuling Mountain half a year ago, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie were still in the early stage of Golden Immortal.
Half a year has passed, Zhu Bajie is still in the early stage of Jinxian, but Sun Wukong has recovered to the late stage of Jinxian, and he is about to return to the realm of Taiyi.
The recovery speed of this realm is more than three to five years earlier than in another time and space?
"Wukong, let's continue on our way. Hey, when we separate, we should leave one of Jiulang's futons and sit cross-legged on it. As a teacher, we can better understand Buddhism."
Others were considered normal, but Tang Seng had a sudden change.
After constantly studying the two scriptures brought back by Li Zhi, Tang Seng first felt that his body had changed. His originally plump body gradually became stronger.
Immediately afterwards, my strength increased and I became more energetic. Even without Li Zhi's futon and only slept for one or two hours a day, I was still energetic and energetic the next day.
In fact, on the way from Gaolaozhuang to Futu Mountain, Tang Seng felt the changes in himself.
Unexpectedly, in the past three months, his changes have become more obvious. For example, walking over the mountains feels like walking on flat ground, and the "nine-ring tin stick" in his hand is whirring like a breeze.
However, he had never learned any moves and was unwilling to learn Sun Wukong's stick skills, so he could only rely on his strength to dance wildly.
What a vision Sun Wukong has. He keenly realizes that he, a mortal master, has begun real cultivation?
It's a pity that Sun Wukong doesn't understand the Buddhist techniques, and the basic requirement for obtaining scriptures seems to be that Monk Tang must be a mortal?
The impetuous Sun Wukong didn't reveal the matter immediately, but acted as if he didn't notice it at all. And the naive Zhu Bajie didn't seem to notice it at all?
However, Tang Seng was very satisfied with this change. He had always devoted himself to Buddhism, and now he could have more time and energy to study Buddhism. Is there anything more interesting to him than this?
The Shenshi hour has passed, and we are heading westward. The three masters and apprentices are on the road again.
Tang Monk became interested and did not ride on the white dragon horse. Instead, he held a "nine-ring tin staff" and walked among the mountains and forests.
Looking around, the mountains overlap in a large area, and you can't even see the edge at a glance. Are they hundreds of miles long?
The high ones are mountains, the steep ones are ridges; the steep ones are cliffs, and the deep ones are ravines; the loud ones are springs, and the fresh ones are flowers.
The three of them and one horse walked for more than an hour, and the mountain breeze came slowly, adding a bit of coolness.
"Hey, Brother Monkey, there's actually a wind coming. This bad weather is almost turning me into a roast pig -"
Zhu Bajie has a fat body and is most afraid of the hot weather. When it gets hot, he will sweat profusely and become tired and hungry more easily. Without Li Zhi following him, the food supply will be much less.
Before Sun Wukong could speak, the mountain wind blew stronger and stronger, causing sand and rocks to fly in an instant, covering the clouds and the sun.
"Wukong, this wind is so dangerous. Isn't there another monster coming out here?"
Tang Monk stopped and remembered Li Zhi's instructions, and hurriedly moved closer to the white dragon horse.
It wasn't that he was riding on the horse, but he was leaning against the side of the white dragon horse, reaching out and grabbing the reins tightly.
Seeing this, Zhu Bajie also put down the luggage he was carrying, held the "Shangbao Qin Golden Rake" in his hands, and protected it on the other side of Tang Monk.
Sure enough, after three waves of evil wind, a colorful tiger jumped over from the hillside with its tail clipped and its hooves cut off.
"Idiot, watch out, Master, we have tiger meat to eat tonight—"
Sun Wukong took out the Ruyi Golden Cudgel and rushed towards the colorful tiger and smashed it.
Unexpectedly, the tiger looked huge, but its figure was extremely agile. It dodged Sun Wukong's stick and ran towards the valley on the right.
"Hey, little cat, do you still want to run away after seeing your grandpa?"
If it were just an ordinary tiger, maybe Sun Wukong wouldn't kill them all. Unfortunately, this colorful tiger has obviously become a spirit.
Then, it is no longer a tiger, but a tiger spirit.
After three turns and two turns, Sun Wukong and the tiger spirit were nowhere to be seen.
"Bajie, will anything happen to Wukong?"
When Tang Monk saw the beautiful tiger, he was no longer as scared as he was at first. But when he saw Sun Wukong disappearing, he felt a little worried.
"Master, don't worry. It's just a tiger spirit in the stage of 'transcending the tribulation'. Brother Monkey is probably playing with it. Don't you know what Brother Monkey is capable of?"
For Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie has a hundred confidence.
"Haha, what a stupid pig, Grandpa Tiger is back again——"
Suddenly, another colorful tiger appeared on the left side, and the man stood up and spoke human words.
If it wasn't the tiger spirit who had just lured Sun Wukong away, who else could it be?
"Oh, you little tiger spirit is really quite capable. Look at the old pig catching you and roasting your baby to eat——"
Zhu Bajie danced "Shangbaoqin Golden Rake" and rushed up to start building.
The tiger spirit actually pulled out a pair of demon knives from his arms and fought back. The fight only lasted for more than twenty rounds. The tiger spirit couldn't stand Zhu Bajie's attack and ran away again, but towards the ridge on the other side.
As a result, only the lonely Tang Monk was left standing next to Bai Longma, holding the "nine-ring tin staff" tightly in his hand, his calves and calves were a little twisted, and he was mumbling something.
"Haha, great monk, no one will protect you now, right?"
Suddenly, another voice came from above.
Tang Seng looked up and saw, isn't this the same tiger spirit just now?
"So that you, the monk, will know that I am the Tiger Pioneer under the command of King Huangfeng. Today, I have been ordered by my king to catch a few mortals to satisfy my greed while patrolling the mountain."
"Those two followers of yours are very abominable. They actually wasted the only two scoundrels of our vanguard. But if we can capture you, King Huang Feng may be happy and reward me with two sips of lamp oil."
After the Tiger Pioneer finished speaking, under the situation, a tiger claw grabbed Tang Seng. He also knew that the two ghosts could not delay for long, so he planned to catch Tang Seng and leave.
Looking at the tiger's claw that was approaching, Tang Seng didn't know where he got the courage to move the "nine-ring tin staff" in his hand.
"嘡——" There was a loud noise, and Tang Monk was directly shaken more than two feet away. The "Nine-Ring Tin Staff" also let go, but the Tiger Pioneer was stunned by the golden light emitted by the "Nine-Ring Tin Staff."
Fortunately, Tang Seng could not exert the effect of the "nine-ring tin staff" at all. Tiger Pioneer was only trembled by the golden light, as if he was slightly electrocuted.
"Oh, I didn't see it. What you, a mortal monk, are actually holding in your hands is a treasure? It's hard for King Huang Feng to reward me now, hahaha——"
Tiger Pioneer picked up the "nine-ring tin staff" from the ground. Unfortunately, it still couldn't see what was special about this staff.
"Great monk, can you go with me now? -"
Tiger Pioneer looked at Tang Seng who stood up from the ground again, and smiled evilly, but Tang Seng stepped back unconsciously.
...
"Little cat, do you want to touch my uncle?"
At this critical moment, a gentle voice came.
"Kuro? Come and save me—"
Who else could come if not Li Zhi?
"The Art of Transforming Rainbows", even if you are just practicing it for the first time, you can reach it in less than half an hour, which is more than 5,000 miles away.
When passing the city in the middle, Li Zhi went in with great interest to replenish some fine wine, water, dry food, fruits and cooked food. The "storage ring" is really a must-have for long-distance travel.
"Another mortal here? A martial arts practitioner, which is good. The meat of martial arts practitioners tastes more chewy."
Seeing a young man walking towards him, Tiger Pioneer was not surprised but overjoyed.
In its eyes, Li Zhi was just a stronger martial arts practitioner. It wasn't like it had never seen such a person before, and it didn't care if there was another one.
"Junior brother, are you back? Is Master okay?——"
At this moment, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie rushed back one after another.
They were just two ghosts. As soon as Tiger Pioneer's spirit escaped from the ghosts, the fighting power of the ghosts immediately dropped a lot.
Even the Tiger Pioneer himself is no match, let alone two ghosts?
When they met, the ghosts were folded under the "Ruyi Golden Cudgel" and the "Shangbaoqin Golden Rake", leaving a piece of tiger skin on the ground.
"Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, guard its retreat. This tiger spirit's cultivation level is equal to mine. I just want to use it to practice my skills today."
The Tiger Pioneer is not even a minion. After all, he is also a little demon general whose name can be called in Journey to the West. In other places, with his strength, he can barely compete with a little demon king Dangdang.
At this time, Sun Wukong noticed Li Zhi.
"Junior brother, in just over three months, you...you have broken through four small realms in a row and reached the late stage of 'Transcending Tribulation'?"
Although Sun Wukong is well-informed, the speed of cultivation like Li Zhi is too shocking.
In the past three months, Sun Wukong himself has been forgetting sleep and food. Except for rushing during the day, he has almost spent his time recovering his cultivation and refining the remaining energy of the flat peach and golden elixir in his body.
Even so, he only went from the early Golden Immortal stage to the late Golden Immortal stage, which made Zhu Bajie jealous to death.
"Hehe, it's just a fluke, a fluke. When I catch this tiger spirit, we can use it to drink wine at night."
As soon as he stretched out his hand, the "Black Cloud Dominator" gun appeared in Li Zhi's hand.
"Little tabby cat, I know exactly where you are as a monster, and I know even better what tricks you have. If you let my senior brother and second senior brother fight you, it would be too much to bully the tiger."
"You and I have similar cultivation levels, so let's compare notes. You will be the first demon to die under the gun of 'Black Cloud Dominator', and you will be proud of yourself when you get to the underworld."
After saying that, without waiting for the Tiger Pioneer to reply, he hit his head with the "Black Cloud Dominator" gun in a "Bloodthirsty" style.
"Hmph, little baby, isn't your Grandpa Tiger still afraid of you?"
How dare a mere mortal dare to humiliate himself like this?
Tiger Pioneer's anger hit the roof beam, and he temporarily threw away the "nine-ringed tin staff". The key was that he didn't know how to use it. He raised his two knives in his hand, trying to deflect the big gun that Li Zhi had smashed down.
A loud "pop--" was heard in the helix of the ear. This was much louder than the sound that Tiger Pioneer made to Tang Monk just now.
The Tiger Pioneer's two swords were directly smashed into four pieces. The tiger claws could no longer hold the handles of the swords, and they were hanging there, bleeding.
"escape--"
At this moment, Tiger Pioneer lost all his temper, and only one word flashed in his mind.
It had just fought against both Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie. Even though the time was short, it could still tell that the monkey wielding the stick was more powerful, so it fled in the direction of Zhu Bajie.
Where is Senior Brother Zhu Er?
There was one man and one tiger in the field, and he had just started to fight. He thought it would take a long time, but who would have thought that this silly tiger would actually fight Li Zhi as soon as he came up.
He originally had the characteristic of "powerful", but now that the realm has been upgraded to another level, Li Zhi's power has nearly doubled.
Zhu Bajie may not be as strong as Li Zhi now, let alone this tiger spirit?
After a confrontation, Tiger Pioneer was defeated and ran away in the direction of Zhu Bajie. The old pig really didn't have time to take precautions, and Tiger Pioneer jumped out more than ten feet.
"Idiot, stop it quickly...Okay, no need -"
Sun Wukong stood there without moving, and saw a white shadow flash, and the "Rainbow Technique" flashed.
When he saw Li Zhi again, he was already standing in front of the Tiger Pioneer with his arms folded.
And the "Black Cloud Dominator" gun penetrated the Tiger Pioneer's back, and the tip of the spear, which was more than a foot long, emerged from the front, directly shattering the Tiger Pioneer's internal organs, and he couldn't die anymore.
"Junior brother, are you too explosive? By the way, what was that movement technique just now? How could it be so fast?"
Li Zhi stood there adjusting his breath. Regardless of the short moment just now, whether it was the shady shot or the instantaneous "Rainbow Technique", it was all planned by Li Zhi in advance.
He and the Tiger Pioneer were originally about the same level in cultivation, and the demon clan had the advantage of being naturally strong and resistant to beatings. If it hadn't been for a surprise, the two sides would have fought for hundreds of rounds.
Li Zhi was able to kill the opponent instantly with just two shots, and he also lost a lot of his own mana.
"Elder brother, this demon is just a pioneer exploring the way. Hearing what it says about the Yellow Wind King, we'd better be careful."
Li Zhi knew the plot. Seeing the endless mountains at a glance, and seeing this Tiger Pioneer again, how could he not guess that this was the Eight Hundred Miles Huangfengling?
The one in Huangfeng Cave is not bad at all, he should be at the Golden Immortal level.
The most terrifying thing is its "Samadhi Divine Wind". Does it really have to be like in another time and space, where it is necessary to invite Lingji Bodhisattva?
Journey to the West is a huge merit cake, and Li Zhi doesn't know when he will be forced to quit. Therefore, in foreseeable events, he wants to gain as much merit as possible.
"What Jiulang said makes sense. This Tiger Pioneer is so cunning and cruel. It must be difficult to deal with their King Huang Feng."
Tang Seng took the opportunity to get back his "nine-ring tin staff", and seemed to not see Li Zhi kill the tiger spirit with one shot.
Li Zhi rushed to kill the demon because he didn't want Sun Wukong to do it. If Tang Seng's "compassionate heart" showed up again, it might cause trouble.
However, why did Tang Seng not react at all to such a violent blow?
"Uncle, you?..."
Li Zhi glanced at Tang Seng. Under the "Golden Eyes of Destruction", Tang Seng was still the same Tang Seng. However, Tang Seng was no longer the same Tang Seng?
"Junior brother is right, we should be more cautious. Hey, let's find a place to deal with this tiger spirit first."
Sun Wukong took Li Zhi with one hand and took the opportunity to block what Li Zhi had not finished.
After struggling for a long time, the sky turned dark and it was no longer suitable to rush on the road, so everyone had to find a place to camp.
Li Zhi returned, and that was the real camping, but he only brought one tent in his "storage ring", which was naturally left to Tang Monk.
He took out some vegetarian food, fruits and water from the "storage ring" and gave them to Tang Monk. He also took out a futon and placed it in the tent. The white dragon horse stopped next to the tent.
For safety reasons, Li Zhi begged Sun Wukong to draw a big circle around the tent and the white dragon horse with a golden hoop.
However, Li Zhi was not sure whether the circle drawn by Sun Wukong would be effective against the Golden Immortal-level Yellow Wind Monster.
The three of them, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Li Zhi, were a little further away, set up a bonfire and began to barbecue tiger meat.
No matter what, I had to symbolically avoid Tang Seng, even though Tang Seng himself had simply had dinner, sat cross-legged on the futon, and began to chant sutras and meditate all night.
"Elder brother, clan uncle, he..."
Li Zhi wanted to ask clearly, but secretly glanced at Zhu Bajie who was drinking next to him.
"Junior brother, your Taoism is still shallow, and senior brother, my old injuries have not recovered yet..."
Sun Wukong took a fresh peach brought by Li Zhi and took a bite.
After all, monkeys are monkeys and they will always like to eat peaches.
The monkey is no longer a monkey. Five hundred years have been under the Five Elements Mountain, which is enough for him to understand some things.
