Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 85 The Sacred Embryo of Heaven and Earth—The Golden Monkey!

Li Changsheng waited on the shore for an hour until it got dark, and then Yu'er's figure appeared on the water.

"Your Majesty!" Yu'er quickly swam to his side.

Li Changsheng frowned slightly and said with a stern face, "Why are you so playful today? It's making me quite worried."

"Your Majesty," Yu'er said affectionately, rubbing against his clothes. "I've met a new friend and am helping him build his cave."

"A new friend? Building a cave dwelling?" Li Changsheng frowned and said, "Don't be fooled."

"Your Majesty, he can't fool me. He doesn't even know how to cultivate yet," Yu'er said disdainfully. "I can take on three of them with just one tail, and we're in the Northern Heavenly River. Who would dare bully me?"

"Beitianhe is fine."

Li Changsheng nodded and said, "If you need anything in the future, ask the aquatic creatures in the river for help."

"Your Majesty, why don't you teach Yu'er some supernatural powers?"

Yu'er blinked and said, "Yu'er only knows the Fish-Dragon Technique, and doesn't have any other skills. Many aquatic creatures laugh at Yu'er."

"What kind of supernatural abilities does Yu'er want to learn?" Li Changsheng asked.

Yu'er immediately replied, "Immortality."

  

Li Changsheng was speechless: "Who in this world can live forever? Only immortals can, but I am not an immortal."

Seeking his guidance on immortality, he's truly found the right tree to guide us.

Unfortunately, he couldn't teach.

"Immortals? Where are the immortals?" Yu'er asked. "Your Majesty, let's go find the immortals."

"Even Your Majesty doesn't know where the immortals are." Li Changsheng picked up Yu'er and walked towards the Dragon Pool. "Immortals are very far away and may not even exist in this world. If Yu'er cultivates diligently, she might become an immortal herself."

"Does becoming an immortal mean you can live forever?" Yu'er asked.

"That should be true," Li Changsheng said.

Yu'er asked curiously, "What about the Dragon Lord? Did the Dragon Lord become an immortal?"

In her mind, the strongest was the Dragon Lord she had never seen before, who had countless demon kings under his command and ruled the Northern Heavenly River.

"The Dragon Lord has not yet become an immortal." Li Changsheng shook his head.

The Dragon Lord is still far from the path of immortality. Li Changsheng has never seen him in person, and he doesn't know how strong the Dragon Lord is either.

Presumably, the Northern Heavenly Dragon Lord should be at the Precious Pearl Realm.

"Even the Dragon King didn't become an immortal?" Yu'er was somewhat disappointed.

Li Changsheng smiled faintly and said, "Why is Yu'er thinking about immortality?"

"Because..." Yu'er opened her mouth, her eyes darting around, and then said, "Because if I live forever, I can stay with the King forever."

Li Changsheng smiled slightly and said, "Immortality is too far away, but I can teach you some supernatural abilities and techniques."

"Then, Your Majesty, what methods will you teach Yu'er?" Yu'er asked hurriedly.

"How about teaching Yu'er the method of water control? Yu'er was originally a dragonfish. After mastering the method of water control, she can swim faster in the water," Li Changsheng said.

"I don't want to learn, I don't want to learn. Yu'er wants to learn something powerful that can defeat all the other aquatic creatures," Yu'er said.

"Has Yu'er been bullied?" Li Changsheng frowned slightly and asked, "Whom did she want to defeat? What is the opponent's cultivation level?"

"The opponent is at the ninth level of Qi Refining," Yu'er said. "It's a toad, really infuriating. It can spew poison gas. Once it's ashore, Yu'er has no way to deal with it."

"A toad?"

Li Changsheng pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, the King will give you a power. If you use it, you can even kill someone at the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Yu'er wants to take revenge herself, Your Majesty, please teach Yu'er some skills," Yu'er said coquettishly.

"Very well, I'll pass on my true skills to you." Li Changsheng smiled slightly and said, "Then I'll teach you a move: the Flood Waves, which will stir up the river water and transform it into towering waves. Even a toad at the ninth level of Qi Refining will not be able to withstand it."

"Is it just stirring up waves?" Yu'er asked, somewhat disappointed.

"Any path, when cultivated to its ultimate level, possesses the power to destroy the heavens and the earth."

Li Changsheng said, "You are too weak now, so you can only learn these things. Besides, they are enough to deal with the toad at the ninth level of Qi Refining."

"Then Yu'er will learn this Giant Wave Technique," Yu'er said, pausing before adding, "By the way, Your Majesty, could you teach Yu'er the cultivation method?"

"Cultivation method? Doesn't Yu'er have the Fish-Dragon Technique?" Li Changsheng said, "Yu'er's bloodline is special, so she should focus on cultivating the Fish-Dragon Technique and transform into a dragon in the future."

Yu'er's eyes started darting around again, clearly trying to think of something to say.

Li Changsheng waited quietly for her to fabricate a reason. He was afraid that Yu'er's trip this time was more than just a toad.

Why would she, who was living a carefree life in Beitianhe, suddenly think of learning such methods?

Her own Fish-Dragon Technique was already sufficient, so she began to seek a new cultivation method.

It's probably for someone else, or for another demon!

"Your Majesty, Yu'er wishes to learn another technique." Yu'er spoke up, switching back to her coquettish mode: "Your Majesty, you are the best, please teach Yu'er."

"Okay, okay, I'll teach you."

Li Changsheng, seemingly unable to resist her coaxing, said, "I have two methods: the Five Elements Path and the Yin-Yang Path. Which one would you like to learn?"

"The Five Elements Path and the Yin-Yang Path?" Yu'er thought for a moment and asked, "Which one is more prevalent?"

Li Changsheng chuckled and said, "The Five Elements Dao is the power of the Five Elements, so it is naturally more powerful than the Yin-Yang Dao."

"Then I will learn the Five Elements Dao," Yu'er said.

"Alright, then I will teach Yu'er the Five Elements Dao." Li Changsheng smiled slightly, pointed a finger at his brow, and passed on the Five Elements Dao to Yu'er.

What he passed on was his modified Five Elements method, specifically the chapter on refining essence into qi.

This method borrows the foundation-building techniques from the Xuan Tian Dao Jing, visualizing one's own Five Elements world, with oneself as the pillar of heaven and the Five Elements as the foundation of the world.

It is absolutely the world's top-tier method.

However, the Golden Elixir Manual and his Five-Colored Divine Light cannot be passed on.

The World Law has not been passed on either; it is a method created by Liu Wuyou and would not be easily passed on to others.

After passing on his teachings, Li Changsheng also taught the Five Elements Escape Technique, the Five Elements Sword Formation, and the Five Elements Defense Method, making it quite comprehensive.

After processing the information in her mind, Yu'er jumped joyfully in the pool: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty."

"Rest well and don't disturb your younger siblings," Li Changsheng said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Yu'er replied respectfully.

Li Changsheng returned to the wooden house and gave all his insights to Yu'er, as Yu'er had no problem cultivating on her own.

Early the next morning, Yu'er led the dragonfish into the North Heavenly River.

Li Changsheng transformed into a drop of water and followed Yu'er.

Yu'er let the dragonfish play while she headed east.

After swimming for half an hour, Yu'er arrived at the shore, where there was a golden monkey that was half a person's height.

The golden monkey scratched its fur and gazed at the river, as if waiting for something.

Suddenly, a stream of water shot out, splashing the monkey's face.

"Little monkey." Yu'er surfaced with a grin, looking at the golden monkey.

The golden monkey wiped its face and grinned, "Sister Yu'er, you've finally arrived!"

"That toad hasn't bothered you again, has it?" Yu'er asked.

"No, no, Sister Yu'er intervened last night, and that toad was so scared that it ran away overnight."

The golden monkey rubbed his hands together and said, "Sister Yu'er, do you know what I asked you to do?"

"I got back too late last night and almost got scolded by the King," Yu'er said with dissatisfaction.

"It's my fault, I delayed my sister's return," the golden monkey said remorsefully, somewhat flustered. "I'll go get some fruits and vegetables to apologize to my sister."

"Just kidding, silly monkey," Yu'er giggled. "My king has two kinds of magic, the Five Elements Dao and the Yin-Yang Dao. Which one do you want to learn?"

"Learn whichever you want the most," said the Golden Monkey, adding, "Can it grant immortality?"

"I knew you'd learn a lot!"

Yu'er passed on the Five Elements Dao to the Golden Monkey.

The golden monkey was overjoyed, but still couldn't forget about immortality: "Can the Five Elements Dao grant immortality?"

"The king said that to achieve immortality, one must become an immortal."

Yu'er said, "But immortals are not in this world; we must cultivate ourselves to become immortals."

"Cultivate to become an immortal?" The golden monkey scratched his head and asked, "Then, if I cultivate the Five Elements, can I become an immortal?"

"Even the Great King hasn't become an immortal yet, and neither has the Dragon King of the River."

Yu'er said, "You haven't even embarked on cultivation yet, let alone become an immortal."

"Then I will cultivate diligently, and become an immortal so that I can live forever!" the golden monkey said firmly.

"You monkey, why do you keep thinking about immortality?" Yu'er asked.

"Because many monkeys die of old age, and I don't want to die of old age," said the golden monkey.

"Will I die of old age?" Yu'er murmured, wondering if she herself would also die of old age in the future.

The monkeys on the shore sat cross-legged, cultivating the Five Elements Dao.

A dazzling array of colors spread out, and the five elements of heaven and earth rapidly gathered there, as if they were being drawn in.

A sacred aura emanated from the golden monkey's body.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the power of the five elements, seemed to have found their source and quickly merged into the golden monkey's body.

Within the golden monkey's body lies an extremely pure spiritual energy of the five elements, which then transforms into spiritual power of the five elements.

Inside the river, Li Changsheng watched this scene in shock.

The Sacred Embryo of Heaven and Earth!

That sacred aura was absolutely true; it was the divine embryo of heaven and earth recorded in ancient books!

Did this era give birth to a divine embryo of heaven and earth?

And she herself... no, Yu'er, ran into it!

And this golden monkey, with its five-colored light and rich five-element spiritual energy... the Five Elements Sacred Embryo!

If I were to swallow this golden monkey...

Forget it, the inheritance won't be much anyway. If I can befriend this golden monkey... I'm sure I can sell it for a good price in the future!

After a moment's thought, Li Changsheng secretly took action to seal off the area and prevent the sacred aura from spreading.

Almost instantly, the golden monkey stepped into the Qi Refining Realm, and its cultivation level was still skyrocketing!

Cultivation is effortless; one can instantly enter the Qi Refining stage!

This talent is something even Niu Wendao couldn't match by patting his own ox rear end!

One hour later, the Qi Refining Stage 1 was completed.

Two hours have passed, and I've reached the second level of Qi Refining!

By noon, the Qi Refining Stage 3 was reached!

The golden monkey was still cultivating, and Yu'er was guarding him from the side. She was also shocked by the golden monkey's talent.

Watching the golden monkey cultivate, Li Changsheng remained silent, quietly protecting the Dharma.

His talent is terrifying!

No wonder the Heavenly Sacred Embryo is so popular; if it were sold to a major sect, it would make a fortune.

Even ordinary sects cannot protect the Heavenly Embryo; it will inevitably lead to a bloodbath.

As the most precious treasure in the world, I possess boundless vitality and can create immortal beings.

The Heaven and Earth Sacred Embryo possesses profound spiritual energy and terrifying talent. In the future, even if it cannot rival the Dao Venerables of ancient times, becoming an immortal should not be difficult for it.

However, Li Changsheng was unaware of the matter of becoming an immortal.

Once you've gotten to know this golden monkey well, ask him when you sell him.

Even if one refines the sacred embryo of heaven and earth, one can inherit at most one or two tenths of one's natural talent, and still cannot inherit the profound spiritual energy.

Even if he were at the Golden Core stage, he couldn't possibly refine all the spiritual energy within a sacred embryo; it would only dissipate.

That innate sacredness will also fade away.

Without the sacred aura and profound spiritual energy, the sacred embryo is left with only innate talent.

It is most beneficial to use it to exchange for subsequent cultivation methods.

Wouldn't it be better to secretly absorb everything within one's own endless lifespan and integrate their cultivation methods?

This Five Elements Sacred Embryo cultivation will definitely allow them to go further than I have in the path of the Five Elements in the future.

Having made his decision, Li Changsheng calmed down and waited for the golden monkey to complete its cultivation.

By the afternoon, the golden monkey's cultivation speed had slowed down, but it was still terrifying.

As evening fell, the Golden Monkey finished his cultivation and reached the fifth level of Qi Refining!

"Sister Yu'er, this Five Elements Dao is perfect for me!" The golden monkey danced excitedly, spiritual energy swirling around its fingertips.

Yu'er said, "Whatever suits you is fine. You can focus on your cultivation. It's getting late, and the King must be getting anxious. I should go back now."

"Sister Yu'er, please take care. I'll go pick some fruits tonight, and you can take them back to the King tomorrow," said the Golden Monkey.

Yu'er disappeared into the water and quickly left.

Li Changsheng followed Yu'er away without disturbing the golden monkey.

Since we don't intend to refine this golden monkey, let's take it slow and start with Yu'er.

If I show myself, Yu'er will be very sad, since it would be very dishonest of me to follow her in secret.

Back at Dragon Pool, Li Changsheng had already taken the rest of the dragonfish back from the shore.

Yu'er happily exclaimed, "Your Majesty!"

"What's making Yu'er so happy?" Li Changsheng asked with a smile.

"I beat that toad," Yu'er said.

"Really?" Li Changsheng smiled and said, "Then congratulations, Yu'er."

After taking Yu'er back to Dragon Pool, Li Changsheng suddenly said, "By the way, Yu'er asked about immortality last night, so Your Majesty went to look through ancient books and actually found a way to achieve immortality."

"Your Majesty, is there a way to achieve immortality without becoming an immortal?" Yu'er asked in surprise.

"Yes, but it's very difficult," Li Changsheng sighed.

To remind the monkey that it is a sacred embryo of heaven and earth, I have no choice but to sacrifice myself.

"What method is that?" Yu'er asked impatiently.

Li Changsheng placed her in the Dragon Pool, took out a book from his storage bag, and said, "A rare treasure of heaven and earth, the Immortal Tree!"

"The Tree of Immortality?" Yu'er asked curiously, "Is it a spiritual herb?"

Li Changsheng said, "It can be considered a spiritual medicine, the most rare treasure in the world, the Immortal Tree. Eating the Immortal Tree can grant immortality, and there is a red spring under the tree, from which one can drink and remain young."

"Where is the Tree of Immortality? Your Majesty, let's go find it," Yu'er said hurriedly.

Li Changsheng chuckled and said, "It's not that easy. The Undying Tree is in the Great Wilderness, which is fraught with danger. Even the most powerful beings in the world wouldn't dare to go there."

The Great Wilderness is very dangerous; it can be considered a forbidden zone. Even Yin Spirits would die there, let alone someone who is only at the Golden Core stage.

"Oh, what should we do then?" Yu'er said disappointedly.

"Of course, you should cultivate diligently and go when you have the strength," Li Changsheng said. "Besides the Longevity Tree, there are also the Peach Tree and the Heavenly Lotus, all of which can prolong life. Take a look at the books."

He handed the book to Yu'er and said, "Besides rare treasures, there is also the Holy Embryo of Heaven and Earth."

"The Sacred Embryo of Heaven and Earth?" Yu'er looked on curiously. "The Sacred Embryo of Heaven and Earth, a sacred embryo nurtured by Heaven and Earth, possesses extremely high talent and divine aura..."

Yu'er suddenly thought of the Golden Monkey. It seemed that the Golden Monkey had a divine aura when it cultivated before.

Moreover, the Golden Monkey's talent is also extremely terrifying; he reached the fifth level of Qi Refining on his first attempt at cultivation.

The Sacred Embryo of Heaven and Earth can also be used as a tonic for possession?

Yu'er suddenly became worried: what if the golden monkey had been captured and turned into elixirs?

Li Changsheng's voice rang out: "Yu'er, what's wrong?"

"No, no, I was just awestruck by the rare treasures and sacred embryo on this tree," Yu'er said. "Your Majesty, do you think there really is such a thing as a sacred embryo?"

"It certainly existed in ancient times, but we don't know about now. It's very difficult for it to be born in the world now," Li Changsheng said.

Yu'er asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, if you were to encounter the Holy Embryo of Heaven and Earth in the future, would you eat it?"

Li Changsheng chuckled and said, "Of course not. It would be such a waste to consume this sacred embryo. If we take it as a disciple and nurture it properly, it will become a top-tier powerhouse in the future."

Yu'er was still too young and directly asked the question that was on her mind.
