Yuan Li was sitting on the throne in the Great Power Cave, the first page of the Book of a Hundred Generations appearing in his mind.

In his previous life, he perished at Black Wind Mountain, which was a hundred miles away. For some reason, there was also a black bear spirit on Black Wind Mountain, the same black bear spirit from Journey to the West, whose cultivation was nearly 500 years higher than Yuan Li's.

Now in his second life, he no longer goes to Black Wind Mountain, and the words of the wolf demon, the leader of the Great Strength Cave, make Yuan Li think for a long time.

He then learned that the Azure Wolf Spirit had come to this place. Before Yuan Li transmigrated, he also knew that the Azure Wolf Spirit was the Black Bear Spirit's sworn brother.

There are currently dozens of lesser demons inside the Great Strength Cave. Yuan Li asked curiously:

"Why has that wolf spirit come here?"

"There is also an antelope demon in the cave. It was captured by our wolf demon leader and we haven't had time to deal with it yet. The antelope demon was originally going to be offered to your sworn brother, the Azure Wolf Spirit, tomorrow, but the Black Wind King arrived suddenly and killed my leader immediately."

Yuan Li looked at the wolf demon who had spoken first, and the little demon scratching its ears and cheeks, looking completely bewildered.

He figured the wolf demon he'd killed in one go was nothing special, and he was just waiting for the Azure Wolf Spirit to arrive, so he couldn't help but overthink it.

In his previous life, Yuan Li was mistaken for an imposter of the Black Bear Spirit in Black Wind Mountain. Under the suppression of the real Black Bear, Xiong Heipi, Yuan Li was at the mercy of the demon and had no choice but to lose his head.

But this also confirmed that he possessed the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes, so there was no need to take a mere Azure Wolf Spirit seriously.

Near the Tibetan kingdom, there is a Taoist temple where one can seek immortality and receive divine teachings; it is called the Temple of the Six Immortals.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Li also wanted to become a disciple and learn skills. If one could cultivate immortality, who would still want to be a monster?

The wolf demon who had spoken for Yuan Li earlier had a pointed mouth and monkey-like face, making him slightly different from the other demons.

Yuan Li remembered the wolf demon's appearance, but he didn't pay attention to what the wolf demon Ge Lang said afterward. However, he kept an eye on the matter of the Azure Wolf Spirit.

In the original story, the black bear spirit later stole the cassock and was forced to ascend to the ranks of immortals, becoming the guardian deity of Mount Luojia under Guanyin Bodhisattva of the South Sea.

Inside the cave, the antelope demon, bound hand and foot and barely breathing, saw Yuan Li and immediately assumed he was a subordinate sent by the Great Immortal Yangli to rescue him. The antelope demon immediately cried out:

"Did my brother send you?"

It turned out that the wolf demon leader had gone to great lengths to capture the antelope demon he had brought back. Yuan Li asked:

"Who is your older brother?"

Upon hearing that they hadn't come to rescue him, the antelope demon said weakly:

"My elder brother is the Great Immortal Yangli. We two brothers have been learning martial arts in Zhongnan Mountain since childhood. My elder brother and two other senior brothers are the national teachers of Chechi Kingdom. I think you are the Black Bear Spirit of Black Wind Mountain. You are more powerful than the wolf demon in Dali Cave. I beg you to spare my life. My elder brother from Chechi Kingdom and I will definitely repay you in the future."

Trapped on the stone pillar, the antelope demon had a glimmer of hope again, in which the black bear demon was also a tyrant of Black Wind Mountain.

They probably wouldn't come to this broken demon cave as guests. Since they're not here as guests, then they must be his saviors.

It turned out that the antelope demon regarded him as its savior. Yuan Li pondered for a moment.

This should have been a few years before the journey to the West passed through Chechi Kingdom. Chechi Kingdom was suffering from a severe drought and was recruiting talented people. Monks and Taoist priests from all walks of life came to visit.

Yangli Daxian was one of the three great immortals who governed Chechi Kingdom and was appointed as the national advisor.

Yuan Li immediately showed goodwill, saying that if the antelope demon was telling the truth, he would take him to Chechi Kingdom.

Making a favor by turning the antelope demon into a noodle dish is less helpful to Yuan Li than the wolf demon leader he just ate. He stepped forward and untied the ropes binding the antelope demon on the stone pillar, saying:

"That's right, I've already killed that wolf demon. Is your brother really the Great Immortal Yangli? I'll send you to Chechi Kingdom and see if he recognizes you."
