Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 104: The Demon King's Realm
The boundary of Tiger Roar Mountain and Thunder Crater.

Three years have passed since the thunder tribulation struck.

The two hundred miles of land that was affected by the thunderstorm in that year has become lifeless, with scorched earth everywhere. In the sinkhole created by the thunderstorm at the center, a small black stone hill stands at the bottom of the pit. For three whole years, there has been no movement at all.

At this time, the land master of Jindou Mountain was sitting cross-legged beside the thunder crater, quietly looking at the Black Stone Mountain in the crater.

The aura of this hill is restrained, and he cannot sense any aura from it at all. In the past three years, Niu Yi's soul has never appeared.

Fortunately, because of the thunder tribulation that year, no living creature dared to approach the surrounding area. Even the area of ​​Tiger Roar Mountain became much more spacious, so naturally no one would come here to disturb them.

"boom"

Hearing the muffled thunder in the sky, the God of Land looked up and saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds and a strong wind was blowing gradually, indicating that heavy rain was coming.

The God of Land slowly stood up, leaning on the wooden stick beside him.

He didn't know how long it would take Niu Yi to finish his training, but before Niu Yi broke through, he planned to stay here to prevent anyone from entering by mistake and disturbing Niu Yi.

After a while, as drops of rain continued to fall, the rain began to get heavier rapidly, but in a moment it turned into a downpour, falling on the entire Tiger Roaring Mountain area.

"Whoa! Whoa!"

The divine power around the Earth God spread out, so that not a single drop of rain could get close to him, and the black stone hill was constantly washed by the torrential rain without any movement.

The God of Land looked for a while and was about to go back underground, but suddenly he heard a cracking sound of rocks cracking.

"Crack!"

The God of Land looked in the direction of the sound in astonishment, only to see a crack suddenly appear on the top of the black stone hill, and there seemed to be a little golden light flashing in the crack.

In just a moment, the golden light that burst out from the top of the black stone hill suddenly shone brightly, and cracks continued to spread on the surface of the black stone hill, and golden light shone through the cracks.

As the cracks gradually spread across the entire Black Stone Mountain, the golden light shining through the cracks became stronger and stronger. At a certain moment, the golden light suddenly burst out, causing the entire Black Stone Mountain to explode!

"boom!!!!"

"Moo——"

Amidst the roar of breaking rocks, a deafening bull roar that seemed to come from ancient times was suddenly heard. This bull roar suppressed the sound of thunder, wind and rain, and spread to the outside world, spreading for thousands of miles!
The God of Land showed a look of joy as he looked towards the thunder crater. He saw a huge golden divine bull slowly emerging in a burst of golden light. It was surrounded by a mist of precious energy and pieces of black rocks were slowly rotating around it.

Although it was also covered in golden light, it was different from the previous orthodox Buddhist golden light. Now the golden light on the Duobao Divine Bull was filled with the meaning of immortality.

The appearance of the Duobao Divine Bull did not end there. It roared again, and the spiritual energy within a thousand miles radius immediately began to flow, quickly converging towards the direction of the Duobao Divine Bull!

On the Jindou Mountain, the many bull spirits who heard the earth-shaking roar couldn't help but look astonished, and then cheered loudly!
How could they not hear that this was the voice of their leader!
Looking at the cheering bull spirits around him, Niu Li couldn't help but reveal an excited smile, and his anxious heart relaxed. At this moment, he suddenly felt a stream of spiritual energy pouring into his body.

Niu Li was stunned for a moment, then quickly revealed his true form and began to practice.

His realm, which had been stuck at the peak of the great demon realm, suddenly loosened at this moment!
At the same time, the three land gods in Baoquanjian, Yunwu Mountain, and Luoying Valley all looked in the direction of the Duobao Divine Bull with astonishment, and the deafening roar of the bull was still echoing in their ears.

".Hearing this noise, could it be that he has made another breakthrough? This is indeed true."

In the thunder crater, the huge Duobao Divine Bull was seen constantly absorbing the spiritual energy that was surging from the surroundings. Under the operation of the Eight-Nine Profound Art, it quickly transformed into its own magic power and merged into its body.

As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was madly infused into the Duobao Divine Bull, its body glowed with golden light and its size continued to rise!

At the same time, Niu Yi's soul had once again come to the depths of the Duobao Divine Bull's bloodline and stood on the river overflowing with precious light.

"Heh~ It looks like this breakthrough is also going smoothly. I just don't know how far I can go on this treasure river this time."

Niu Yi looked at the precious light under his feet, which seemed like a winding and endless treasure river. He took a step and walked towards the depths of the treasure river.

This treasure river, which was manifested from the blood of the Duobao Divine Bull, has given him three extremely important talents.

When he walked 150 meters, he was given the blue treasure hunting talent; when he walked 1,500 meters, he was given the gold treasure aura talent; when he walked 10,000 meters, he was given the colorful Nine Revolutions Golden Wheel talent.

The farther he walks on this treasure river, the more he can stimulate and explore his bloodline, and the better the talent he will gain from the breakthrough. But I don't know what kind of talent he can get this time.

His three talents have helped him a lot, especially the treasure talent that has been repairing the cause and effect hexagram coins, and the Nine-Turn Golden Wheel talent that can protect the soul and refine nine natal magic weapons.

As Niu Yi continued to walk deeper into the Bao River, he soon reached the 10,000-meter limit that he had reached last time.

At this time, Niu Yi was still walking very easily. 10,000 meters, 20,000 meters, 40,000 meters.
This time, Niu Yi walked to a distance of 50,000 meters from the Bao River before he felt that he had reached his limit and could not take another step.

Niu Yi looked up at the still endless Baohe River. Although there was a flash of regret in his eyes, he still smiled.

If he could reach the end, he would be able to see what the scenery was like at the end of the Treasure River, but it also meant that the talents of the Duobao Divine Bull had been fully tapped.

Niu Yi stood still, and the 50,000-meter-long treasure river behind him began to gradually emit little light, and then the treasure light shone brightly.

However, under Niu Yi's astonished gaze, these bloodline powers continued to condense in the air, and the rising precious light and golden light spots all quickly merged into a circle.

I don’t know how long it took, but as the last bit of blood power merged into the dot, a slowly rotating ball of light appeared in front of Niu Yi, quickly rushed into Niu Yi’s soul, and completely merged with his soul.

Niu Yi's soul was seen emitting a burst of precious light, and it was getting stronger and stronger with the fusion of the power of blood.

In the outside world, half a day later, when the golden light faded and the spiritual energy calmed down, it was seen that the Duobao Divine Bull was now eight hundred feet long from head to tail, and six hundred feet high from hoof to back!

However, the divine bull was surrounded by a mist of precious energy, and quickly disappeared in a burst of golden light, turning into the figure of Niu Yi in a green robe.

Niu Yi stood in the thunder crater, completely restraining his magic power, letting the rain from the sky fall and hit his body, bringing a cool feeling.

Niu Yi looked at the sky and felt extremely happy in his heart. The curve of his mouth became bigger and bigger, and finally he couldn't help laughing out loud!

"Hahahaha~~"

Today, he not only cultivated the immortal golden body, but also used the earth-walking avenue to break through the realm of the demon king and gain a long life of ten thousand years!
But what excited him most was the long journey of over a hundred years of cultivation. He had finally embarked on the golden elixir path that countless people dreamed of! The path to immortality!
At this moment, his body had undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before!

Niu Yi looked up and sensed three pairs of gazes looking at him from the dark clouds. He couldn't help but smile and bowed towards the dark clouds in a good mood.

However, there were also three figures looming in the clouds, bowing to Niu Yi in return.

Just at this moment, the dark clouds in the sky began to slowly disperse, the heavy rain stopped, and rays of sunlight peeked out from the clouds and poured towards the ground.

"Haha~ Looks like you've already done it."

Hearing the voice of the God of Land, Niu Yi turned around and bowed to him.

"Exactly. I would like to thank the Earth God for his support over the past three years."

Even though he could not use his physical magic power, many magic weapons were nurtured in the Nine Revolutions Golden Wheel.

But his primordial spirit and the Soul-Locking Chain were unaffected, and he was not completely powerless to fight back even if he encountered danger.

But he saw and remembered the Earth God's day and night protection for the past three years.

"Haha~ Between you and me, there's no need to be so polite~"

The God of Land stroked his beard and smiled. Seeing Niu Yi standing in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Niu Yi also smiled and nodded, then looked around and said with some emotion:

"I owe this place a great deal of karma for this tribulation. Fortunately, the rock that my previous body transformed into can make up for it."

Because of the tribulation he had endured, the land within the surrounding two hundred miles was almost devastated. The scorched earth within this two hundred miles contained a very faint aura of thunder tribulation.

If no one manages it, this place will probably remain like this for the next twenty years or so, waiting for the earth veins to slowly recover.

Although only a tiny amount of precious energy remained in the rock that his body transformed from, it was still of great benefit to this place.

But Niu Yi raised his hand slightly, and the black stones around him quickly shattered, then flew into the sky and scattered evenly like black sand in the area two hundred miles around the thunder crater.

At the same time, a yellowish light flashed in Niu Yi's hand, and the power of the earth veins was instantly activated by Niu Yi.

Under the astonished gaze of the Earth God, Niu Yi used the Earth Avenue to cause bursts of rich earth energy to rise continuously, quickly expelling the aura of thunder and lightning from the ground, and quickly stimulating the remaining precious energy in the black sand that the black stone mountains had turned into, to nourish the earth.

In this way, the surrounding two hundred miles of land will be restored to its original state and turned into fertile land in a few years.

"Oh, that's about right."

"As for the thunder crater created by this lightning tribulation, judging by its appearance, it has absorbed a lot of thunder power over the past three years. Who knows, it might even produce some kind of thunder-attributed ore or spiritual material in the future."
