Chapter 419 Birth
On top of a lush mountain, there stands a group of buildings with an ancient feel. In the core area is a Taoist temple with three large characters "Changsheng Temple" inscribed on it.

Walking through the gate, you can see many disciples practicing martial arts, about thirty-four people.

Next to the disciples who were practicing martial arts, there were several young men who looked to be in their twenties or thirties. They should be the instructors of these disciples. They were staring at the disciples who were practicing martial arts, and would go up to give some pointers from time to time.

Several old Taoist priests with white hair and beards and wearing Taoist robes came from outside the temple. When they saw the instructor who was teaching the disciples martial arts, they immediately walked up to him, bowed with extreme respect and said, "Greetings, instructor!"

The young teachers just nodded and said nothing else.

The old Taoists seemed to be accustomed to this matter. After greeting the instructor, they walked towards the main hall in the Taoist temple.

The Three Pure Ones are enshrined in the main hall, and below them stands a statue of a man wearing a Taoist robe and in a strange position.

After a few old Taoist priests walked in, they burned incense directly in front of the four statues.

"Senior brother,"

After the incense was burned, a younger Taoist priest said to an older Taoist priest beside him, "When do you think the ancestor will be able to come back?"

"Reliable, reputable!"

The one who was called Senior Brother glanced at the two Junior Brothers beside him and said, "I don't know either!"

It has been more than seventy years since the three brothers joined the Changsheng Temple.

When the Changsheng Temple was first built, I entered it at the age of six or seven in the name of my family elders, seeking the knowledge of longevity.

Now, sixty or seventy years have passed. It cannot be said that they have not found the way to immortality, but the situation is very different from what they imagined.

Even though they are in their seventies or eighties, they know very well in their hearts that given their current condition, they will have no problem living another seventy or eighty years.

However, if the master does not return and pass down more advanced skills, they will only live for one or two hundred years, which is a huge difference from the eternal life they dream of.

It’s not that they haven’t been discouraged before, but looking at the teachings that have existed since the beginning of the temple, they regained their confidence in the Changsheng Temple.

More than seventy years have passed, and those dozens of teachers still look the same as when they were children.

There is not the slightest change at all. Just based on this point, they firmly believe that there must be a secret of longevity in the concept of longevity.

Besides, they have lived here for more than 70 years and don’t want to leave. They have developed feelings for every tree and blade of grass here.

When Changsheng Temple was first established, there were people who came to cause trouble. After all, the way Changsheng Temple taught its disciples was too simple.

As long as you pay, I will teach.

This made some sects unhappy, so several sects and dozens of masters secretly attacked the Changsheng Temple several years after the founder's departure.

What was unexpected was that the instructor, who used to be very kind and patient, showed his fangs.

Just one instructor was dispatched and he killed all the dozens of invading enemies.

This move also established the reputation of Changsheng Temple. Almost no force dared to attack Changsheng Temple easily.

This is why they show great respect when they see their teachers.

It's not like they haven't thought about it before, that dozens of instructors are just a group of puppets.

However, seeing that the teacher was no different from an ordinary person, that doubt gradually disappeared.

The most important thing is that if the teacher is really a puppet, it would be a good thing for them.

How powerful must the ancestor be to be able to refine such a powerful puppet?
Doesn’t that mean that there is hope for immortality?
After burning incense, the three of them sat down cross-legged and began to do their homework, which was actually reciting Taoist scriptures.

Not far from the Changsheng Temple, among the lush forests, a man suddenly appeared there.

"It's back again!"

This person is Zhang Chu who came from the biochemical world.

After becoming a Golden Immortal, he killed a cosmic overlord in the Devouring Star World, and after absorbing and digesting the insights in the biochemical world, he returned to a world that was suspected to be Journey to the West.

He hasn't been back for nearly a hundred years, so of course he wants to come back and take a look.

Not to mention anything else, just the classics in this world are what Zhang Chu cares about very much.

Having just returned here, his extremely powerful immortal consciousness directly spread to the surroundings.

"Changsheng Temple?"

In a trance, Zhang Chu remembered that he had also left some Taoist traditions in this world.

Longevity Martial Arts!

Therefore, he moved and went directly to the Changsheng Temple.

Is there any other place that can allow him to learn more about this world than Changsheng Temple?

He had left a lot of puppets in the temple, and those puppets naturally had the function of collecting information.

Zhang Chu had just walked to the gate of Changsheng Temple and was instructing the apprentices in their martial arts training. The instructor, who was resting in the back mountain, disappeared in an instant and came to the gate.

"Greetings to the Taoist Master!"

Seeing Zhang Chu standing at the door, dozens of teachers immediately bowed down to him.

“Not bad!”

Zhang Chu nodded slightly.

Among the dozens of teachers, some have already developed their own wisdom, and it is estimated that it will not take long for them to become real living beings.

This action also attracted the attention of the apprentices who were practicing martial arts. They all looked at the person who was being taught to pay homage with some curiosity.

However, he soon lowered his head.

No matter who they are, they cannot look down upon them.

The Taoists in the courtyard also heard the shouting. Several of them went towards the main hall, while others followed their instructors to pay homage.

"go!"

Zhang Chu nodded slightly and walked towards the main hall.

"Guanzhu!"

And the person who brought the news had already arrived in the hall.

"What's the matter?"

The three old Taoist priests who were doing morning lessons stood up, looked at the disciples who came in a hurry, and asked with some confusion.

Could it be that someone has attacked the mountain gate?
"Master,"

The disciple quickly explained the situation.

"You said that the teacher knelt down and bowed to a Taoist priest, calling him 'Master Taoist'?"

The three Taoists were slightly stunned, and then they reacted instantly: Could it be that the master has returned?
They were still wondering when the master would appear, but unexpectedly, he appeared now?

"Reliable, reputable,"

The senior brother said to his two junior brothers, "Go and have a look!"

As soon as I reached the door, I saw a Taoist priest with a spirited look walking in with dozens of instructors.

The three of them were stunned for a moment, then their eyes widened, as if they had seen something incredible, and turned their heads to look behind them.

"Respect the courtesy, value the trust, value the name!"

The three old Taoist priests were extremely surprised and bowed to Zhang Chu, "Greetings, Grandmaster!"

"Ancestor?" Zhang Chu glanced at the three Taoists in front of him, flicked his sleeves lightly, and the three of them could not bow down, "I don't remember that Changsheng Temple is accepting disciples!"

When he first established the Changsheng Temple, he never planned to accept any disciples.

The purpose of building Changsheng Temple was just to teach the martial arts of longevity.

It can also be regarded as leaving some sparks in this world, so that when the time comes, they can be spread throughout the world and occupy a share of destiny.

After hearing these words, the three old Taoists were stunned and a little embarrassed.

They knew very well that Changsheng Temple did not give them any status of disciples, only the status of apprentices.

What is an apprentice? You pay money and I teach you skills. That’s what an apprenticeship is.

The relationship between Changsheng Temple and those apprentices is actually one of equal exchange.

Or, it could be said that Changsheng Temple passed down its martial arts out of compassion for the people of the world.

Nearly a hundred years have passed, and no less than ten thousand warriors have walked out of Changsheng Temple.

The Longevity Martial Arts has already achieved the effect that Zhang Chu had expected. In the Aolai Country, the shadow of the Longevity Martial Arts can be seen in every place.

"but,"

Zhang Chu glanced at the incense and candles in front of the statues of the Three Pure Ones and his own statue in the main hall, which had not yet burned out, and said, "I am grateful for your hard work!"

"You can become an outer disciple of Changsheng Temple!"

"Are you willing?"

"Meet the Patriarch!"

After hearing what Zhang Chu said, the three old Taoists immediately knelt down and paid homage.

Even if you become an outer disciple, you have already entered the sect!

But he is much better than an apprentice. At least, he is one step closer to immortality.

"okay,"

Zhang Chu glanced at the three people who seemed old and frail but were actually full of vitality, and waved his hand, "You guys can leave first!"

"Yes, Patriarch!"

The group of people walked out under the guidance of three outer disciples.

Dozens of puppets followed Zhang Chu into the hall.

The information recorded on them began to be transmitted to Zhang Chu.

Even though nearly a hundred years have passed, the Kingdom of Aolai has not changed much.

As for the existence suspected to be the Flower-Fruit Mountain next to the Aolai Kingdom, there has not been any major changes.

At this point, Zhang Chuou began to doubt whether this world was the legendary world of Journey to the West.

After pondering for a moment, he began to input memories and cultivation into these puppets.

Before, these puppets only had the memory of the third realm of the Longevity Martial Arts. Now that the Longevity Martial Arts can be cultivated into the Golden Immortal, there are naturally some changes.

In addition, Zhang Chu absorbed billions of insights, and the Changsheng Martial Arts also underwent many changes.

Therefore, Zhang Chu needed to transmit the revised Longevity Martial Arts to these puppets.

After a little thought, Zhang Chu raised the cultivation of these puppets to the fourth level of the Longevity Martial Arts.

In fact, the strength of the fourth realm of Changsheng Martial Arts is already not low.

In the revised Longevity Scripture, the first realm of longevity martial arts corresponds to acquired warriors, the second realm corresponds to innate warriors, the third realm corresponds to Jindan-stage cultivators, the fourth realm corresponds to Shenhua-stage cultivators, the fifth realm corresponds to Tribulation-crossing cultivators, and the sixth realm corresponds to Tribulation-crossing and Fusion-stage cultivators.

When one reaches the seventh realm, the corresponding one is an immortal. Now Zhang Chu is at the eighth realm, which corresponds to a golden immortal.

As for the ninth and tenth realms?
Zhang Chu hasn’t been created yet!
According to his expectation, the ninth realm of the Longevity Martial Arts corresponds to the realm of Daluo Jinxian, and the tenth realm corresponds to the cultivation of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian in mythology and legends.

Dozens of puppets that have reached the fourth level of martial arts are more than enough to teach disciples.

If the puppets really develop their own spiritual intelligence, Zhang Chu will naturally teach them the subsequent skills.

As the transmission was completed, dozens of puppets suddenly showed a different style and were even more powerful.

After two or three days of adaptation, the sharpness was finally subsided.

"In the future, outer disciples can be taught the techniques of the three realms of immortality!"

"Registered disciples can be taught the techniques of the four realms!"

As the puppet walked out, Zhang Chu spoke slowly.

"Yes, Taoist Master!"

The puppet walked out, and Zhang Chu stood here, wondering whether what he was thinking was reasonable.

Even though those three outer disciples had reached the third level of the Longevity Martial Arts, in reality, none of them were very strong.

According to the classification of the realm of cultivation, it is just the strength of the foundation-building period. However, after the revision of the Longevity Martial Arts, it has been raised to a higher level.

The puppet walked out, and the three old Taoist priests who had been guarding outside immediately came to greet him.

They have just received Zhang Chu's message, and they can also ask the instructor for advice on martial arts.

How could they not be anxious after hearing such news?

As soon as the instructors came out, three old Taoist priests immediately came in front of them and performed the etiquette as disciples!

The puppets showed no sign of hesitation and directly taught the Changsheng Martial Arts techniques from the first to the third level to the three old Taoists.

Looking at the seemingly correct martial arts technique, they were somewhat confused.

However, when they tried to practice, they found that it was really too powerful.

Not only has the body become stronger, even the condensed true qi has become more condensed, and is already close to magic power.

The most important thing is that the three of them can all feel the progress, the improvement of their cultivation.

For a moment, the three of them were extremely excited!

It’s worth it that they have been guarding the Changsheng Temple for more than seventy years, burning incense and worshipping day and night. Aren’t they reaping the rewards now?

Apart from anything else, if one cultivates the martial art of immortality to the third level, one can at least live for ten decades. What’s the difference between that and immortality?

While the three old Taoists were practicing, Zhang Chu, who was sitting in the main hall, suddenly stood up and looked towards a line released by the Aolai Kingdom.

He felt that in the place that was suspected to be the Flower-Fruit Mountain, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to change drastically.

"Boom~"

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Chu's extremely sensitive perception heard a cracking sound like the creation of the world.

Two golden lights shot straight up into the sky from the jungle in the direction suspected to be the Flower-Fruit Mountain, breaking through layers of obstacles and rushing straight into the sky.

"this,"

Looking at the two golden lights and the roar before, a gleam of light flashed in Zhang Chu's eyes, "Could it be that the Monkey King has been born?"

He did not go towards the Flower-Fruit Mountain, but stared at the changes in the sky, as if he was waiting for something.
