The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 355 First-Grade Great Illusion King Insect

Silent all night.

The next morning, Wang Wu had transformed back into Big Carp Two Dogs!

That damned macaque, its name does seem to fit it.

"Hmm, what a nice day," Wang Wu thought as he happily swam around in the pond.

That's right, in just one night, what was originally a small puddle with a diameter of three meters has turned into a large pond.

The widest part is already twenty meters, and the deepest part is nearly one meter. The spring is silent, but it gurgles and flows with abundant water. The flowing water has turned into a stream and has already flowed for thousands of meters.

This caused a group of monkeys to shout and yell, and the birds in the trees chirped and chattered. Occasionally, a dragonfly would skim across the water, and the whole grove seemed to be celebrating a festival.

The air along the banks of the stream was much more humid.

Meanwhile, Big Monkey, Old Zhou, and Jia Ding Monkey squatted dumbfounded by the pond. Last night, they had hoped to produce fifty vats of water a day.

Yes, it was fifty cylinders in one day and one night.

Goodness gracious! So much spring water gushed out overnight, and the water quality was actually quite good.

Where did this water come from?

When did this underground water vein appear?
Without saying a word, the three of them immediately used earth magic to go underground to investigate.

Wang Wu sneered inwardly. He had already anticipated their predictions. He had deployed his forces hundreds of miles upstream and even used pressurized jets. He thought he could find the source? He wasn't looking down on them, but he simply didn't have the ability.

For the rest of the day, Big Monkey, Old Zhou, and Jia Ding Monkey searched for the underground water source, each of them on high alert, fearing that the water was stolen.

But by evening, they finally gave up, squatting by the pond, which had expanded to a new size, staring at Wang Wu as if he had a flower on him.

"Brother Er Gou, I, Da Ma Hou, have misjudged you. You truly are a direct descendant of the King of Xijiang. I admire your skill in finding water. But could you tell me how you did it?"

Wang Wu flicked his tail, spitting out a small gray mark, as if to say, "Want to know? I'm reserving my spiritual energy stipend for next month."

"Grass!"

The big monkey fell silent. Instead of getting it to use its spiritual power, you might as well get it to call you "Dad"!

Old Zhou laughed heartily, "Big monkey, why are you so stubborn? Since it's been a whole day and no one from Xijiang has come to demand an explanation, it means nothing happened. Even if the water was stolen, so what? We Er Gou brothers are just arrogant!"

"And to be honest, Big Monkey, don't try to avoid offending either side. That will only offend both. I think from today onwards, we at Bear Ridge need to be on high alert, just in case. You know, the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance doesn't interfere in infighting at the level of Mountain Lord and Water Lord. There are plenty of cases where dog brains fight pig brains."

"Also, don't forget, in ten years, it will be the Lesser Cold, and then the Greater Cold..."

As Old Zhou spoke, his expression inexplicably turned serious. As for Big Monkey, he couldn't help but shiver, his face changing slightly, as if something terrifying was about to happen during the Great and Small Cold.

Wang Wu was also curious, but the two of them remained silent. What were they talking about? He hated riddle-solving dogs!

Then the three guys left.

Grass!
Wang Wu was speechless, but there was nothing he could do. So he took out the hair from last night, turned it into a big carp, and then went to the West River basin to steal water! He stole water like crazy until the underground water vein's Xuan Tie Reservoir could no longer hold it.

As for the days that followed, Big Monkey, Old Zhou, and Jia Ding Monkey were all nowhere to be seen, seemingly busy with their cultivation. Damn it, who cares about me? Doesn't the future King of Inspiration have any dignity?

Without legitimate spiritual energy, he can't cheat even if he wanted to.

It was at this moment that he remembered his savings, namely the spirit stones that his good brother Liu Zongbai had given him before they parted.

"I wonder if these spirit stones are legal?"

Wang Wu hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to give it a try, but he couldn't do it himself; he had to find a thick-skinned, kind-hearted friend to help him.

He searched around for a long time and then set his sights on Mu Zhenren.

Hey, what a coincidence! Even his name is exactly the same as one he used to have.

So, on a dark and windy night, Wang Wu silently arrived at the crooked tree. This was Mu Zhenren; he recognized him instantly.

Then, Wang Wu used Earth Escape Technique to disappear underground, and soon saw the dense root system of the Wood Immortal and the various protective formations it had deployed.

However, it can only be said that this brother is quite pitiful; he is not even as good as the Wooden Immortal in General Snow Wolf's household.

Malnutrition, coupled with congenital castration, is the original quote from Grandpa Tree's information database.

Therefore, its cultivation path is extremely difficult. The big monkey was truly blind before, actually betting on Master Mu, thinking that Master Mu could help it win back its losses.

Hehehe, this idiot, it would be strange if he didn't lose all his money!
What kind of looks are those!

Does this wooden figurine look like a rare and valuable commodity?
This is terrible, and it even has a hidden ailment. Oh dear, it's been struck by Yang lightning! Huh, lightning-struck wood!

nice one!
"Urgent assessment: It's dying. We advise against disturbing it."

Grandpa Tree's information database suddenly issued a warning, seemingly in great sorrow.

"Give me a reason?"

Wang Wu was taken aback; he really hadn't noticed.

"Grandpa Tree's information database analysis: It belongs to the ancient tree clan, but it has been castrated, so it can no longer reproduce. There is no point in continuing to cultivate. If you want to learn some information, you can place that ever-changing Ruyi Demon Leaf on it, and it will recognize you as a member of the same clan. Perhaps, it will leave you some last words."

Are you sure you're not lying to me?

"Bear Clan Information Database: Silly child, at this point, there's no need to lie to you anymore. The ancient tree clan led by Grandpa Tree is now all in the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance. If they are also castrated, the ancient tree spirit clan will perish. I don't know if they regret escaping, but I think we may have all misunderstood the existence that imprisoned us in the Great Wilderness Sin Prison."

"Peacock Family Information Database: Since you're so awesome and powerful, why don't you use the Thirty-Six Transformations of Earthly Fiends to transform into the appearance of Mu Zhenren? That little fish, it'll take who knows how many years for you to grow up, and you'll be exposed with the slightest effort. But if you're impersonating Mu Zhenren, there won't be any problems. You can make a move whenever you want, and who can do anything to me?"

"Attributes: Seconded!"

-

That makes sense. Wang Wu was really tempted because that little carp, Er Gou, really left him powerless to do anything about it!

"Okay! I'll provide technical support and give it a try!"

Wang Wu immediately emerged from the ground, took out the ever-changing Ruyi Leaf, and gently placed it on the crooked tree. In that instant, the leaf miraculously became a leaf of the tree and disappeared completely.

Of course, Wang Wu wasn't worried. He could run away from the monk, but he couldn't run away from the temple!
After a while, the crooked tree suddenly trembled slightly, and the next second, an aged voice came from underground, "Since you are a friend of my ancient tree clan, come down here and meet me. It is not safe up here."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wu once again disappeared underground, only to find that a small wooden house had appeared in the center of the previously messy tree roots. Inside, a candle was lit, and an old man with white hair was sitting there.

Wang Wu hesitated for a moment, then slowly transformed into human form according to the instructions from Grandpa Tree's information database.

"Huh? You're a demon, no, you're an escapee. I heard that a few years ago a great prison was broken open and a large number of escapees escaped. At that time, I wondered if any of my kind were among them. Now it seems that I'm still quite lucky."

"Please sit down. My place may be simple, but it's absolutely safe. You don't need to worry about anything. Since you've found me, you must have a Great Illusion King Worm guiding you. Take it out and let me see it." The old man said with a smile, looking like he was on his last breath, but his eyes were very sharp.

Wang Wu shook his head. "Sorry, I don't know how to take it out."

"Haha, I understand. You little guy, you're quite wary, but that's to be expected. I do have a Grade One Great Illusion King Insect that's about to die. It's been with me for 300,000 years. I've hidden myself and gone into hiding many times, even going so far as to castrate myself, just to survive until today. Unfortunately, I still couldn't escape it in the end."

As he said this, the old man pulled a nearly withered tree root from its head with a series of scrambling motions.

“Take it, take it. It’s dying soon. If it merges with the Great Illusion King Worm on your body, it might still be saved. It has recorded a lot of information. Some of it may have been destroyed, and some may have become blurred, but even the remaining information is invaluable to you. Information, information is the most important thing. It is the real reason why those unspeakable people are hunting down my Ancient Tree Clan.”

"Unspeakable people? Who are they?" Wang Wu was taken aback.

The old man shook his head. "You know, you can say that because you're an escapee, you weren't branded with the Golden Seal or monitored by the Spirit Network, but I can't say it. If I do, I'll be in trouble."

Wang Wu suddenly realized, and the word "immortal" almost slipped out of his mouth, but he stopped himself.

Meanwhile, the four clowns were already arguing in his mind, because they all wanted to merge with the dying Great Illusion King Worm.

But Wang Wu was still hesitant, mainly because of the rotten tree roots...

Furthermore, if this Wood Immortal has lived for 300,000 years, wouldn't it be older than Grandpa Tree?

As he was struggling with this, he noticed that the old man opposite him had closed his eyes at some point and stopped breathing, while the candlelight began to flicker rapidly, as if it were about to go out.

"Hurry up! What are you waiting for? Eat the Great Illusion King Worm right now, or it will be completely dead once the candle goes out!"

The four clowns got so desperate that they abandoned all semblance of proper formatting.

Wang Wu glanced at the candlelight, then without hesitation, reached out and took the withered tree root, only to be mocked by the four clowns.

What?! That candle flame is the true form of the Great Illusion King Worm?!
Why didn't you say so sooner!
