Chapter 1: Acquiring Great Saint's Memory

Parallel universe, Water Blue Planet.

Great Qin, Jiangzhou, Yunyang County.

Ying Yue was woken by a bucket of cold water being poured on him. The icy water shocked his brain into awareness. He found himself lying on the damp ground, his body aching and weak, unable to move.

"Where am I?"

Looking around, the sky was filled with sparkling stars, surrounded by waist-high wild grass, and the constant buzzing of mosquitoes, raising an unexplained fear within Ying Yue.

"Young Master Zhao, is he awake?"

Just then, a deep voice sounded, causing Ying Yue to tremble and quickly turn his head, only to be met by a blinding ray of light that hurt his eyes.

"Kid, not bad, daring to sleep with my woman, Zhao, you have guts! I'm impressed!"

Rui Hu Zhao crouched down, shining a flashlight on Ying Yue's face: "You're the first one in Jiangzhou daring enough to cuckold me. Tell me, how should I thank you?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Ying Yue's face turned pale, his heart gripped with fear: "I haven't touched Yun Fei, you can't frame me, we are innocent!"

"Bullshit!"

Rui Hu Zhao spat, his saliva landing on Ying Yue's face: "You really think you can fool me? You didn't touch her? Then what were you doing with her in the hotel? Do you think I'm an idiot?"

"Young Master Zhao, it's not what you think!"

Ying Yue explained in a low voice, "Yun Fei called me to meet her at the hotel. If I didn't go, she would have jumped off the building. I couldn't just watch her kill herself, could I?"

"Cut the crap! You think you are someone special, that Yun Fei would jump off a building for you? Dream on!"

Rui Hu grew angrier the more he thought about it, and the sight of Ying Yue just made him more irritated. A hard slap landed on Ying Yue's face, causing his nose to bleed.

"Seeing as you've broken the rules, I've decided to give you a lifelong unforgettable lesson!"

Rui Hu Zhao stated coldly.

"Yes, Young Master Zhao!"

Upon the command, several men dressed in black and holding baseball bats surrounded him.

Ying Yue clenched his teeth and didn't make a sound.

Rui Hu Zhao, you wait, just wait...

Ying Yue closed his eyes, screaming madly in his heart. His hatred for Rui Hu Zhao was so intense, not even the water from the Three Rivers and Five Lakes could wash it away.

If possible, he would have flayed Rui Hu Zhao alive.

But the reality was... there were no ifs!

Rui Hu Zhao, the director of Huilong Group, a leading real estate company in Great Qin Jiangzhou, and son of the wealthiest man in Jiangzhou, always accompanied by a dozen bodyguards, while he, Ying Yue, was just an ordinary student.

The two were not on the same level!

"Yun Fei and I knew each other first, she liked me, it was me, and then you, Rui Hu Zhao, suddenly appeared!"

"I hate it! I'd love to slaughter you!"

"But, what about my family, what would happen to them? If Rui Hu Zhao dies, his father will surely not spare my family!"

"Rui Hu Zhao, you damned bastard!"

He didn't utter a word, yet his heart was filled with towering hatred!

"You damned bastard, remember this, stay as far away from me as possible and don't let me see you with Yun Fei again, or else, I'll kill your whole family!"

Rui Hu Zhao coldly said, then turned and left.

"That guy's look is terrifying; break his hand and foot tendons..."

"Yes, Young Master Zhao!"

"No—"

...

Having his hand and foot tendons severed, he became completely disabled.

It was a huge blow to Ying Yue. He became dispirited, his eyes lifeless, his body emanating a deathly aura.

In his eyes, there was nothing but despair and boundless hatred.

"I'm done, my life is completely over!"

"Without my legs, I am nothing but a cripple!"

"Rui Hu Zhao, you ruined me, you destroyed me!"

Ying Yue felt both desperate and hateful, his hatred overwhelming: "If Heaven could give me a chance, I would definitely mutilate Rui Hu Zhao a thousand times!"

"Hehehe, little guy, you really hold a deep grudge!"

Just then, a weak voice suddenly came from his mind as if resonating from deep within, instantly catching Ying Yue's attention.

"Who?"

Ying Yue was choked up, his eyes darting around.

"Who am I?"

The weak voice rang out again, but it was filled with endless majesty and a disdain for everything, "I am Sun Wukong, known as the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, hehehe!"

"What the hell? Come out, stop hiding, I'm already down to this state, there's nothing I'm afraid of!"

Ying Yue held his breath, scanning around, but the forest was empty, just barren hills and ravines everywhere; there was no one.

"No need to look any further, old Sun is right inside your body!"

"Who exactly are you, human or ghost?" Ying Yue shouted, "Come out!"

"Why all the shouting? Shut up! Listen, old Sun doesn't have much time left. I'll make it quick!"

The weak voice slowly said, "Old Sun has been severely injured, only my True Spirit lingers in your Sea of Consciousness, but I won't last much longer, I could fall into a deep sleep at any moment!"

Ying Yue's head spun, but he was certain it wasn't a hallucination, it was a voice genuinely echoing deep within his soul.

He was one hundred percent sure, it was not a hallucination!

Old Sun?

Great Sage Equalling Heaven?

Oh my God!

I've seen a ghost!

"You want revenge, right? There's an opportunity right in front of you, it all depends on whether you want it or not!"

Great Saint Sun's voice rang out again.

Hearing the word "revenge," Ying Yue's eyes filled with hatred, almost instinctively he asked, "No matter what the opportunity, as long as I can kill Rui Hu Zhao, I'm willing to take it!"

"Accept old Sun's memories!"

Great Saint seemed to have truly suffered a heavy blow, appearing very weak, "As long as you accept the memories of your humble Wukong, you would gain countless cultivation techniques and experiences, through which you could rebuild your body and defy the heavens to change your fate."

"Can I take my revenge?"

"You can!"

"Can I restore both my arms and legs?"

"Immortality, to live as long as the heavens, is nothing difficult!"

Immortality, to live as long as the heavens!!!

Ying Yue's breath hitched, and his heart thumped wildly, "Why are you giving me such a grand gift for free? Could it be that you're deceiving me?"

"Your humble Wukong, of course, wouldn't make a losing deal, remember: once you become strong in the future, you must help your humble Wukong resurrect!"

Great Saint finally stated his condition!

"Great Saint Sun, I promise you: as long as what you say is true, once I have the ability in the future, I will definitely help you resurrect. If I break this oath, let the heavens strike me with lightning!"

"Very... good..."

Great Saint's voice weakened, and with a "boom," Ying Yue felt as if struck by lightning, a flood-like surge of memories rushing into his mind. He felt as if his temples were smashed by a sledgehammer, and after a scream, he passed out.

...

Time drifted gently, and an entire night passed.

The sun gradually rose higher, and Ying Yue slowly awoke.

"My head hurts so much..."

At this moment, Ying Yue was in great discomfort, his head throbbing dully, dizzily, unfamiliar memories colliding and flashing in his mind.

It was like a dream, yet it was incredibly clear.

It felt as if he had personally experienced it, yet it also felt incredibly distant.

But no matter what, it all felt very real!

Wu Tian, Three Great Divine Monkeys...

Yun Fei, Zhao Ruihu...

Emperor Yu, Buddha Tathagata...

Dad, Mom...

"Who am I?"

"My head hurts so much! Sun Wukong? Ying Yue?"

"I am the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong, no no no, I am Ying Yue!"

"I am Ying Yue!!!"

Two sets of memories collided, merged, and fused continually in his mind, ultimately blending together indistinguishably.

All returned to calm!

Breathing heavily, Ying Yue's face was as pale as paper, devoid of any color, yet his eyes were filled with boundless ecstasy!

Even, a bit of madness!

Ecstasy was normal, and madness was nothing wrong!

Because put in anyone else's shoes, they would become incredibly mad, since the gift gained so suddenly was just too astonishing!

"All of Great Sage's memories!"

Ying Yue wanted to laugh aloud, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his muscles twitched, causing heart-piercing pain, and he had no choice but to suppress the ecstasy in his heart.

"It's real, all real!"

If before hearing Great Saint's voice had left him half-doubtful, then now, after merging with the Great Saint's memories, all doubts had evaporated.

The Great Sage Equalling Heaven was real!

All the Heavens and Buddhas were also real!

"Hahaha! I've made it! Completely made it..."

It took a long time for Ying Yue to regain his calm, the ecstasy in his eyes gradually subsiding, replaced by deep hatred: "First, cultivate, heal my arms and legs, then find Zhao Ruihu, to take revenge and wash away the hatred!"

"Only through cultivation can I take revenge! Revenge!"

"Cultivation..."

Thinking of cultivation, multiple cultivation techniques and numerous cultivation methods automatically emerged in Ying Yue's mind like a movie, "Now in a human body, I can choose from Immortal Cultivation, Buddhist Cultivation, Daoist Cultivation, Qi Cultivation, Medicine Cultivation, Body Cultivation, among 81 methods!"

"In his previous life, Great Saint chose to cultivate immortality, and the Foundation Building Technique he learned was the Great Grade Heavenly Immortal, passed down by Patriarch Bodhi!"

"Great Grade Heavenly Immortal requires Immortal Qi to cultivate, Water Blue Planet is a Lower Realm Mortal Galaxy, is there Immortal Qi?"

Sniffing, Ying Yue carefully sensed around. With this sensing, he shockingly discovered that not only was there no Immortal Qi, but even the lowest grade Vital Energy was absent.

"How can this be?!"

Ying Yue's breath hitched, unable to accept this reality: "No Immortal Qi is one thing, after all, Water Blue Planet is a Mortal Planet, that's understandable, no Spiritual Energy, I can endure that, but..."

"There's not even the lowest grade Heaven and Earth Vital Energy!!!"

Ying Yue felt a chill in his heart, without "Energy," how could he cultivate?

Actually, regardless of the method, cultivation is essentially about "cultivating Energy"!

And the "Energy" available for cultivation in the universe mainly consists of three types: Immortal Qi, Spiritual Energy, and Vital Energy!

Immortal Qi is the highest grade, existing only in the Immortal Realm or equivalent Great Thousand Worlds.

Spiritual Energy is next, generally filling the Mortal Realm's cultivation stars, or the Intermediate Thousand Worlds.

Vital Energy is of the lowest grade, widely present in the lower-class Mortal Realm planets, Small Thousand Worlds, and world of dust.

According to Ying Yue's guess, Water Blue Planet, this heavily polluted technological planet, might not even have Spiritual Energy, but Vital Energy should be present, right?

But the result of the sensing was unacceptable—

There was no Vital Energy!!!

Facing such a result left Ying Yue speechless, but he was not in despair, because there were still many cultivation methods in his mind, not necessarily requiring Energy to cultivate.

"Let me think, let me think carefully!"

"There must be a way..."

As the sun rose higher and more scorchingly, luckily Ying Yue was thrown in the forest, sheltered by trees, otherwise after a day under the exposure, he wouldn't die but definitely peel a layer of skin.

Jiangzhou, after all, is one of Great Qin's famous three furnaces!
