Born with immortal seed

Chapter 127 Taking Down Monkey Mountain

Fortunately, the Azure-Eyed Golden-Eyed Ape must have paid a considerable price to unleash its Azure-Eyed Divine Power.

After each attack, the monkey king would be exhausted for a while, and its speed would decrease significantly.

The war has been waged three times so far.

Later, Liang Yu and the others gained experience. Although they couldn't block the strange blue light, they could use other objects to bear the burden instead.

Once activated, it immediately summoned a magical artifact to block the way.

This method proved effective; using the spirit weapon itself to block the light directly neutralized the azure glow.

The price was that the magical artifact immediately lost contact, fell to the ground, and had no effect no matter how it was activated.

It's unclear whether the connection between mind and spirit was temporarily severed, or whether the essence of the spiritual artifact was damaged.

"It's a pity that the Heavenly Gang Treasure Cauldron Talisman was used once when dealing with Mo Qianyuan. It must be nurtured in the Law Enforcement Hall for ten years before it can be used again... Otherwise, it will consume the talisman's original power, and it will be ruined after being used twice more at most."

Liang Yu felt a little regretful that his most powerful talisman was not on him.

Currently, the three are at an impasse with the blue-eyed golden ape.

However, human cultivators' magical power is not as profound as that of demonic beasts, so this dragging on will ultimately be disadvantageous for them.

Upon hearing Liang Yu's shout, Luo Qiuzhen's face showed a conflicted expression. In the end, he hardened his heart and spat out a blue talisman.

As soon as this three-finger-wide azure talisman appeared, it was accompanied by the sound of rushing water, and the air became slightly more humid.

Without making any movement, it exuded a powerful aura, giving people a slightly different feeling than when facing a talisman.

"A natal talisman? Senior Brother Luo, you actually cultivated a natal talisman!"

Yingzhong cried out, clearly unaware of the situation.

"Hmph! If it weren't for dealing with this beast, how could I bear to let my natal talisman appear prematurely... As long as I nurture it for ten years, I can use it to advance to the third-tier talisman master!"

Luo Qiuzhen was filled with hatred, and his gaze toward the blue-eyed golden ape was like two sharp blades.

With his late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, he was able to create a natal talisman that only a third-tier talisman master could be absolutely confident in making, which shows his mastery of talismanic arts.

We're just one step away from a breakthrough.

The premature appearance of the natal talisman means that the original ten-year nurturing period will likely be extended to thirty years.

Luo Qiuzhen pointed at his azure natal talisman, and two water dragons spiraled up, lifelike, emitting a dragon's roar before rushing towards the Monkey King.

At the same time, concentric circles of water ripples spread from Luo Qiuzhen, encompassing all three of them.

Wherever the water ripples covered, the magical power and even the divine senses that the group had lost were rapidly recovering.

"Junior Brother Luo, you have impressive skills! Today, let's have a contest to see who can cut down this beast first!"

The head of the Law Enforcement Hall usually represents the strongest fighter in the Qingfeng Sect below the Core Formation Ancestor.

However, this generation produced an anomaly, Wei Dao, who suppressed Liang Yu's brilliance, but his strength was by no means much less than Wei Dao's.

Seeing Luo Qiuzhen's natal talisman unleash its power, Liang Yu felt a surge of pride, and the thick yellow light emanating from his body merged with the earth.

He pushed his cultivated Five Virtues of Earth technique to its limit, and his feet sank several inches into the ground.

As the ape slowly pressed down with both palms, its body froze, as if it were carrying an invisible, immense weight, becoming much slower than before.

Surprisingly, the two water dragons that were fighting and entangled with it were completely unaffected.

Ying Zhong used his magical weapon to save Liang Yu, but was severely injured by the Azure-Eyed Golden-Eyed Ape, which limited his ability to exert his strength.

Seeing that his two senior brothers were using their trump cards to engage in a final battle with the Monkey King, he also took out a scroll from his storage bag.

A low-grade magic treasure, a transmission record!

This magical artifact is a treasure passed down through generations of Hall Masters of the Transmission Hall, and it often serves as a symbol of status.

However, in critical moments, as the master of the Transmission Hall, Yingzhong has his own means of activating it.

He pricked his finger and wrote a line of clerical script on the book in a flamboyant style.

This magical artifact emitted a dazzling white light, bathing Yingzhong in it, making him appear awe-inspiring and unapproachable.

"The sages admonished three things: to do good and to avoid evil!"

Yingzhong's voice was ethereal. As he finished speaking, milky white light surged toward the blue-eyed golden ape. The monkey king visibly weakened, and the luster of its golden fur dimmed.

At the same time, a mountain of books fell down, firmly immobilizing the blue-eyed golden ape in place.

The blue-eyed, golden-eyed ape scratched its ears and back, baring its sharp teeth. It pushed up with the iron rod in its hand, raised its monkey face, and two beams of blue light shot out from its blue eyes again.

Two water dragons stepped forward to block the way, but when illuminated by the blue light, they instantly melted into clear water, which spilled all over the ground.

Luo Qiuzhen chuckled, the last of the liquid mana in his dantian disappeared, and his natal talisman flashed with blue light, transforming into two water beasts equivalent to those in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, which fearlessly rushed forward to tear at him.

Gradually, the roars of the blue-eyed golden-eyed apes in the formation grew fainter and fainter.

……

Bai Zichen surveyed the entire battlefield on his sword, and was dismayed to find that there were not many second-tier apes left alive.

The few remaining second-tier demonic beasts were each surrounded by several Foundation Establishment cultivators, who took turns wearing them down and gained the upper hand.

Given this situation, he felt embarrassed to interfere further.

Midway through, they encountered Bai Xianzong, the patriarch of the Bai family, who was protecting a battle formation behind him, where several familiar clansmen were present.

Seeing that the three battle treasures were all in place and the remaining first-tier demonic beasts were being quickly eliminated, it seemed that the Bai family members had been incorporated into the elite force of the pioneering army and were being given good equipment.

With a complete battle formation and the protection of Foundation Establishment cultivators, their chances of survival are much higher than those of other cultivators.

After the last second-tier ape was killed, the scattered first-tier monsters were no longer a threat.

Except for the necessary guards, all battle formations were disbanded, and the troops began to freely pursue the monsters.

Meanwhile, the disciples of Qingfeng Sect, led by several deacons, began to clean up the battlefield.

This includes, but is not limited to, collecting materials from demonic beasts, gathering the corpses of fallen cultivators, and returning their belongings to their relatives.

However, the Foundation Establishment cultivators' attention had not completely relaxed, and they were still staring at the top of Monkey Mountain.

Everyone knew that the battle at Monkey Mountain would only truly end once the dust settled there.

"Senior Brother Pei, should we organize support?"

"No need. Follow the established plan and have your fellow disciples take their positions... Even in the worst-case scenario, if Senior Brother Liang and his two companions fail to defeat the Azure-Eyed Golden-Eyed Ape, they should at least severely injure it. It will only be at its last gasp if it manages to break through; with so many of us, we can easily handle it."

Bae Dong-yong glanced around and concluded that this battle could be described as a resounding victory.

Apart from one Foundation Establishment cultivator from a cultivation family who was severely injured by the second-tier ape's final counterattack, no one else was injured.

The number of Qi Refining cultivators who died in battle is estimated to be around two hundred, which is also acceptable.

"Junior Brother Bai, this person said that you killed a second-tier ape over there, and that they were there to dismantle and guard the monster materials for you... Is that true?"

Ma Ming, carrying a disheveled old Taoist priest, arrived in a flying boat and asked the question.

Bai Zichen glanced at him; it seemed to be the leader of the group of rogue cultivators he had saved after slaying the white ape.

“That’s right. I killed that white ape by myself. According to the rules, I can keep all the monster materials. Senior Brother Ma, don’t make things difficult for him. I ordered them to do it.”

Zhang had mentioned Ma Ming to him three days ago.

It is said that this person is arrogant and has a gloomy mind.

Perhaps out of jealousy for Bai Zichen, this newly emerging prodigy, who had stolen his title of genius, they took advantage of his misfortune that day.

However, this behavior has angered Senior Brother Liang Yu, and he will be relieved of his duties in the Enforcement Hall after the war of pioneering ends.

"Elder, what the old man said is the truth. Can you put me down now?"

As the old Taoist priest of the Jiang family was lifted into the air, he was hit by a blast of cold air, and his already injured body began to cough again.

Ma Ming originally wanted to find fault, to prove that the battle formation composed of this group of rogue cultivators also contributed, and to compete for the ownership of the materials from this second-tier demon beast.

But seeing that Pei Dongyong and Senior Brother Zhang were staring at him from behind Bai Zichen, he could only snort coldly, leave the old Taoist priest Jiang behind, and leave to avoid making a fool of himself.

"I didn't expect that before Junior Brother Bai came to our aid, he had already single-handedly killed a second-tier ape... Add to that his slaying of a mid-tier second-tier fire ape, your achievements are probably the best among all the elders!"

Because the other elders basically cooperate with each other, the credit for the monsters they kill is shared equally.

If we're really talking about merits, Bai Zichen really benefited greatly.

"By the way, don't tell anyone about your mastery of Sword Qi Thunder Sound. Keep it a secret as long as possible... The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind. I'm worried that if the Ghost Spirit Sect finds out, it will be detrimental to you."

Senior Brother Zhang transmitted his voice and said earnestly.

"I have given serious warnings to both Qiong Qi and Liao Changqing. Right now, both of them need my help, so they shouldn't dare to say anything out of turn."

Bai Zichen, at a young age, has reached the highest level of swordsmanship in the cultivation world of Liang Kingdom, possessing the strength to challenge those of higher levels.

Senior Brother Zhang witnessed the sword strike that killed the fire ape clearly from the side, and the power contained within it made his hair stand on end.

If you put yourself in their shoes, you can't think of any way to dodge or defend yourself.

He even felt that even some of the senior brothers in the sect who were at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage might not be able to handle it.

No wonder it's a well-known saying in the cultivation world that sword cultivators are invincible among their peers, and the best among them can even challenge those of higher levels.

Luo Guangwu's previous display of strength made him scoff at this claim.

I only realized today that it wasn't that sword cultivators were incompetent, but rather that the problem lay with the people involved.

If this junior brother Bai is given several decades to improve his cultivation level, who among those in the Foundation Establishment stage could stand against him with a single sword strike?
The Ghost Spirit Sect is now terrified by Ancestor Ge Cang and may not have the courage to send someone to infiltrate Black Mountain County, but it's always good to avoid some unnecessary trouble.

"Understood, I will be careful from now on."

Bai Zichen knew that Senior Brother Zhang meant well, so of course he wouldn't refuse the arrangement.

"Greetings, Elder Bai. This old Taoist is the head of the Jiang family. We have already sorted the white ape according to its type..."

The old Taoist priest from the Jiang family was thrown onto the green boat where Bai Zichen and the others were. He struggled to his feet and was about to mention Jiang Shu's name to try and establish some connection when he was interrupted by a loud bang.

boom!
An iron rod flew out, smashing a stone pillar as thick as a person could hug in half, and with its remaining force, it embedded itself into the mountainside.

The formation dispersed, revealing the standing figures of the three palace masters.

The little monkey in the middle lay limp on the ground, motionless, as if it had no bones. It was none other than the Monkey King of Monkey Mountain, the Blue-eyed Golden-eyed Ape.
