Chapter 332: 305: Arrival of the Five Spirit Monkeys
“It’s just like Sky Sword Academy, with teachers giving lectures and advanced courses too.”
“I originally wanted you to go and check it out before you took the challenge, but you left so quickly that I didn’t get a chance to tell you.” Wang Xiangchi said with an undertone of schadenfreude.
“I have applied for the access permission from Pu Tao, you can go directly to the main peak’s classroom.”
“Then I’ll go there for the class.”
Sword Wuji said, and was about to head to the main peak, but then he stopped and turned back to Wang Xiangchi, “Master, is there anything else you want to say?”
“Erm, don’t just focus on Sword Dao in the advanced course, you also have to look at other types.” Wang Xiangchi advised.
“Master, anything else?”
“No more~”
A streak of escaping light flew towards the main peak in the distance.
“What’s the use of being anxious now?” Wang Xiangchi laughed.
At this moment, in the underground space, countless scriptures that Xu Fan couldn’t comprehend appeared around him, each of them carrying a deep soul-touching aura.
They were revolving slowly around Xu Fan. From time to time, some scriptures would disappear, and new ones would appear, joining the whole scripture.
Xu Fan’s soul was now filled with scriptures.
After a long time, Xu Fan slowly opened his eyes, and sighed.
“It is indeed not easy to create a cultivation technique and divine abilities related to the soul.”
Creating the cultivation technique gave Xu Fan a headache, in his words, he had overclocked for too long and needed to cool down.
At this moment, Xu Fan received a message from Ning Dao.
“Great Elder, the monkey is here~”
Seeing Ning Dao’s message, Xu Fan’s eyes suddenly brightened.
On Satellite Island, under Xu Fan’s surprising gaze, Ning Dao released more than a hundred Five Spirit Monkeys from his Treasure Palace.
One at the Integration Stage, four at the Void Refining Stage, thirty-three at the Nascent Soul Stage, and more than eighty at the Golden Core Stage.
“Great Elder, I’ve put considerable effort into catching these Five Spirit Monkeys alive. I owe quite a few favors to my fellow cultivators.” Ning Dao boasted, anyone could hear the hardship in his words.
Xu Fan looked at the group of Five Spirit Monkeys as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
“Brother Ning’s dual sword style is said to be able to unleash greater combat power if both Dao Artifact Spiritual Swords have the same power. Leave this matter to me.” Xu Fan said with a smile.
“Is the Great Elder really going to do that!” Ning Dao exclaimed excitedly.
“Brother Ning’s matter is my matter.” Xu Fan assured.
“Great Elder, do you still want monkeys?”
“As many as you have.”
“Understood~~”
Ning Dao handed the soul controlling magical treasure of the Five Spirit Monkeys to Xu Fan, then returned to Linsen Immortal City, where other matters were waiting for him.
“Master, should we let them cultivate that technique?” The Pangolin asked, sounding a little excited; it seemed like its own life could be stabilized for a while.
“No need, that technique is a bit crude, let them cultivate this ‘All-Origin Scripture’.” Xu Fan handed a jade disc to the Pangolin.
At this moment, Xu Fan handed part of the core of the soul controlling magical treasure in his hand to the Pangolin so that he could manage the group of Five Spirit Monkeys better.
“Do a good job, and you will not be mistreated in the future.” Xu Fan smiled, sounding like a slave owner talking to his overseer.
“The Pangolin is willing to serve till death.” The Human-shaped Pangolin kneeled and responded.
Xu Fan nodded. With a hint of regret in his gaze, he glanced at the two Five Spirit Monkeys that were already showing signs of age, and his figure slowly disappeared in front of the monkeys.
He still had a bit of a conscience, after all, using two monkeys to deduce a cultivation technique was kind of excessive.
Once the Pangolin confirmed Xu Fan had left, it immediately returned to its true form.
The Pangolin looked at the group of Five Spirit Monkeys with a malicious smile, holding a Demon Weapon in his hand and said, “From now on, your master will be the Great Elder of the Hidden Spirit Gate.”
“From now on, the Great Elder’s words will be like the divine edicts of the Demon Venerable. If you do not comply, you will wish you were dead.”
The Pangolin’s words instantly sparked anger among all the Five Spirit Monkeys, as they glared at him.
At this moment, the bodies of the two Five Spirit Monkeys that were about to be scrapped began to tremble uncontrollably. A chill ran straight to their foreheads; they had had first-hand experience of the pangolin’s tactics.
The Five Spirit Monkey at Integration Stage sneered at the pangolin, “What can you do to me?”
Only with a grin, the pangolin raised his soul artefact avatar in hand and directly transferred demonic power.
Immediately, all the Five Spirit Monkeys felt as if their souls were being torn apart and unending pain engulfed them.
“Ah!!!!!”
“It hurts!!!!! Ahhh~~”
All the Five Spirit Monkeys began to shriek, their bodies shaking as if electrocuted.
“Kneel towards the Hidden Spirit Gate.” The pangolin said coldly.
“Submit and you may live. If you continue to resist, I will show you what’s worse than death.”
“Please….. lift.. the…. ban.”
“We… will… submit.” The leading Five Spirit Monkey managed to stammer out.
“Kneel.” The pangolin commanded nonchalantly. Rather than easing the monkeys’ punishment, he instead intensified it.
The two Five Spirit Monkeys on the side appeared somewhat remorseful, but they did not plead for mercy. They merely gazed sympathetically at the group of Five Spirit Monkeys.
In the end, all the Five Spirit Monkeys fell weakly to their knees before the direction of the Hidden Spirit Gate, prompting the pangolin to retract his punishment.
“Remember, from now on the Great Elder will be our only master.” The pangolin said.
On Hidden Spirit Island, Xu Fan watched the scene of the pangolin disciplining the Five Spirit Monkeys. Suddenly, he thought that this pangolin could perhaps be brought to the Great Thousand World to continue as his monkey trainer.
Now, Xu Fan looked up at the sky, musing, “There isn’t too much time left for the good days.”
In Xu Fan’s perception, the entirety of the earth was beginning to shift, and more stars that he had never seen before appeared in the sky.
Added to the occasional scenes of twin suns appearing in the sky, Xu Fan knew it wouldn’t be long before the two realms completely merge.
Late at night, Wang Yulun sat alone in a chair in his small courtyard, observing the unfamiliar constellations in the night sky.
“What are you thinking about?” Murong Qian’er softly approached Wang Yulun from behind.
“I’m thinking about whether I should apologize to you before I die, for hiding so many things from you.” Wang Yulun’s white hair billowed on his aged face as he spoke.
“Are you talking about that time when you were captured by the demoness?” Murong Qian’er questioned, her heart as clear as a bright mirror. She did not blame Wang Yulun, as the demoness had threatened his life on that occasion.
Wang Yulun looked at the sky and did not respond.
“Or, is it about that time when we unintentionally discovered a secret realm?” Murong Qian’er continued.
Wang Yulun still did not respond.
“The time at the Thousand Flowers Immortal City?”
“At the Xiang State Borders?”
Murong Qian’er listed all of the places she could think of.
“You know quite a lot, but none of those were my intention.” Wang Yulun sighed in surrender.
“I know, Brother Xu told me, it’s your fate.”
“I don’t blame you, who told me to only choose you in this life.”
“By the way, besides what I just mentioned, do you have any other things you’re hiding from me?” Murong Qian’er suddenly questioned.
“Nothing else, madam. You are too clever, I can’t hide anything from you.” Wang Yulun replied with a smile, looking every bit the old rascal.
“That’s right.”
Wang Yulun sighed again, his words just now were only spurred by emotion rather than a genuine wish to confess. After all, he still had the body of a mortal, and he needed to sleep.
