Chapter 840: Wish

After some time passed...

One could see Fang Qi lying on the ground, thoroughly exhausted.

The battle was over.

The results of this cultivation session:

Sun Wukong, the Handsome Monkey King of Mount Huaguo, synchronization rate 9%-9.5%

Synchronized spells and cultivation methods: Comprehensive

Improvement rate 0.5%

Obtained cultivation realm advancement: From the peak of the eighth tier's second heaven rising to the beginner stage of the eighth tier's third heaven

"Continue?"

"Phew..." Fang Qi let out a long breath and scrambled up from the ground.

"Continue!"

...

After some time passed, the scene before his eyes shifted into another completely different sight.

A white-clothed swordsman brandished his weapon, the sword-light darting like a swimming dragon and a startled swan, while the palms of the monk beside him were exceptionally fierce, yet the black-robed man before them parried with calm composure, entirely unscathed!

Beside them, the synchronization rate data could also be seen

Raoul, the Holy Demon Primordial Fetus, synchronization rate 4%, improved by 1%

Wind Scars, the Demonic Flow Sword, synchronization rate 20%, improved by 5%

One Page Book, the Brahma, synchronization rate 20%, improved by 5%

...

After some time passed, changes occurred once more, and the battlefield in front of him had already shifted to the East Sea Dragon Palace...

The Netherworld Underworld...

...

"Phew..."

By evening, Fang Qi had spent roughly half a year inside the cultivation room.

At this moment, Fang Qi, who was back in the Jiuhua City store, finished his bath, washed off all his foul sweat, wiped the beads of sweat from his brow with a snow-white towel, and walked down from upstairs.

"Hmm?" Coming face to face with them, he saw a large group of cultivators and warriors like Su Tianji, Nalan Hongwu, and Song Qingfeng sitting on the sofas in the lounge area, discussing the plot, spells, and martial arts of Journey to the West.

"Trash boss!" Seeing Boss Fang, Su Tianji looked at him with utter disdain, "Why hasn't anyone seen you the whole day today?"

She smoothly pulled Boss Fang over and even slid a bottle of Cola in front of him, a stiff smile plastered across her face.

"Hiss..." Boss Fang rolled his eyes at her, "Do you have to smile so awkwardly! Offering unprompted courtesy, you must be up to no good!"

"Hehehe... We've been discussing this Journey to the West for a long time, but there are still some parts we don't understand. Could you explain it a little bit?" Song Qingfeng, who was beside her, also quickly chimed in with a laugh.

"..." Boss Fang was almost speechless, "You guys look for the boss when you can't pass a game, and now you have to look for the boss just to watch a TV series!?"

The group of people just looked at Boss Fang with expressions that said, "What can I do, I'm also very desperate."

"The Dao techniques taught by the immortal are so profound; it is completely understandable that we didn't fully comprehend them!" Su Tianji said.

"If you don't understand, do you think I..." The words were just at the tip of his tongue when he realized that after a round of synchronization in the cultivation room and then cross-referencing it with various elements from Journey to the West.

...I actually seem to understand!?

Eh...?

"Uh... then how about I explain a little bit to you guys today?" Boss Fang asked tentatively.

"Great, great, great!"

"Then..." Boss Fang glanced at the sky outside, "Today I'll explain these first two episodes to you first, and regarding the Patriarch's lecture on the Dao, I'll also explain a little bit based on my own understanding."

Xu Zixin beside him also said excitedly, "Teacher Fang, hurry up and explain, hurry up and explain!"

"...When did this boss become Teacher Fang again..." Boss Fang scratched his head. Previously, in private, they always called him Old Fiend Fang or Old Demon Fang; this sudden change of address really made him a bit unaccustomed.

"Ah... then let's first tell you about... the part where Sun Wukong learns divine abilities and Dao techniques at Mount Fangcun..."

In the lounge area of the Jiuhua City store, one could see a crowd of people gathered around the sofa, with Boss Fang sitting down to begin his lecture.

"Boss, boss!" After the first and second episodes were explained, Lanyan asked curiously, "Just now you mentioned King Yu the Great controlling the waters; who exactly is this King Yu the Great?"

"Uh... then let me tell you another story about Yu the Great controlling the waters."

...

"Boss! I still have a question! This True Lord Erlang, Sun Wukong said he cleaved Mount Tao with an axe, what kind of allusion is this?" Soon, Su Tianji's disciple Fenghua also asked, "And why does it feel like that True Lord Erlang's relationship with his uncle, the Jade Emperor, is not good at all..."

"Uh..." Boss Fang thought about it, "Then how about I tell you the story of Erlang Shen cleaving the mountain to save his mother, and carrying mountains to chase the sun..."

"Terrific! I love listening to stories the most!" Fenghua clapped her hands with immense joy.

...

It went on until eight or nine o'clock at night, expanding from just the single Jiuhua City store to a network-wide live broadcast; the new Eastern Continent store and the Canglan City store were all spectating.

Only when Boss Fang waved his hand with a tired face and said he would continue tomorrow did everyone finally reluctantly... leave the store.

And at this time, he opened the system panel.

He checked the system quests.

"It looks like lecturing for so long still has some effect..." Boss Fang poured himself a cup of iced black tea and took a large gulp.

...

Outside the store doors.

A group of elders and disciples from the Haotian Sect rode their flying swords together. In the night sky, like a galaxy woven from streaks of shooting stars, they shot straight from outside the grotto-heaven into the high heavens, subsequently flying toward the same direction.

Countless streams of light pierced through the sky; even on a rainy night like this, it was exceptionally spectacular.

"That 'Divine Land' and 'Huaxia' Boss Fang talked about, how can there be so many immortals." While flying on her sword, Senior Sister Yuyin suddenly spoke up, reminiscing.

"The boss didn't explain it clearly either." Xiaoyue said unhappily, "When he talked about 'King Yu the Great controlling the waters,' he said 'the tail of the Yinglong drew on the ground to form rivers.' What kind of dragon is a Yinglong exactly?"

"And how can there be so many types of dragons!?" The little girl could hardly distinguish them all anymore; there were the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, the Zhulong, and the Yinglong.

"The immortals there are so numerous too..." Yuebai also marveled, "There are even so many immortals who are not governed by the Heavenly Court..."

"Some of the immortals there seem to be particularly good as well...!" Muqing also said, "That Patriarch Bodhi who taught Sun Wukong was very gentle and amiable, unlike that Star Lord Wuqu, who only knows how to trip people up and act like a villain!"

"He deserved the beating!" Muqing snorted.

"Also, when King Yu the Great controlled the waters, there were so many who came to help." Yuyin said with boundless envy, "I only sigh that I am not in Huaxia, unable to witness that kind of grandeur..."

"It seems true Lord Erlang is not so terrible after all. They say he dwells in the mortal realm, easing the tribulations of the masses," Yu Yin said with a nod. "He is truly magnificent...!"

"How wonderful..." The crowd spoke with deepening envy, yearning with all their hearts to have been born upon that very soil of which Shopkeeper Fang spoke.

Boom—!

A sudden, explosive roar shattered the air as a crimson thunderbolt split the sky. Beholding the darkening firmament that resembled more and more an apocalyptic cataclysm, countless mortals on the ground huddled within their frail, wind-swept dwellings, trembling with fear and a quiet, bitter sorrow.

Involuntarily, they pulled their robes tighter around themselves. With the strength they possessed... they were truly powerless.

If only their own world also had a Great Sage Equal to Heaven, a Lord Erlang, a Great King Yu, a...

How grand that would be... at the very least, they would not have to live in such constant dread of these malevolent gods.
