Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 266: Capturing Stars and Taking the Moon, the Terror of the Giant Ape

"After I rejected the proposal to marry, Dragon Palace did not give up. They want you to teach some dragon women to compensate for the loss of the dragon veins' evil energy..."

At this point, Qing Qiu laughed, clearly understanding the Dragon Race's intentions. Love can grow over time, after all.

And this time, she did not refuse. Instead, she persuaded Zhong Cang.

"It's not a bad thing to get closer to the Dragon Race. I suggest you agree."

"I'll listen to the Perfected Being!"

After realizing that Cloud Firmament Sect had no ill intentions towards him, Zhong Cang would often seek their advice on many matters.

As Qing Qiu said, accepting dragon women as disciples would not harm him, but rather benefit him.

In this way, with just a few words, Zhong Cang reached a cooperation agreement with Dragon Palace.

Since they had turned enemies into friends, Zhong Cang couldn't leave before the Dragon Lord's birthday banquet ended.

His current form as a giant ape was not suitable for returning to the sect.

Thus, Zhong Cang's return to the sect was delayed for several days.

Fortunately, the delay was only for a few days.

Qing Qiu had informed Zhong Cang that after the Dragon Palace banquet ended, he could return to the sect with the Cloud Firmament Sect delegation.

...

Dragon Palace acted quickly. After Zhong Cang agreed at noon, that very night, two pure-blooded dragon women led several dragon blood descendants (female officials), along with over a hundred water spirit descendants, forming a group of three to five hundred people, and hurried towards Zhong Cang's location.

Unlike the human sect alliance and the Monster Race's rule by various monsters, the Dragon Race implemented a feudal system of imperial enfeoffment.

Although the feudal system may be outdated, it must be said that they were quite skilled in training palace maids.

The numerous maids sent by the Prime Minister Turtle were all charming and had various outstanding qualities.

Not only were they beautiful, but they could also sing and dance, and were gentle and considerate.

Some maids even had special abilities—not in terms of romantic relationships.

As a transcendent and deeply rooted power, the palace maids trained by Dragon Palace not only took care of people but also played a role in cultivation and power development.

For example, there were mermaids who could cultivate pearls and a small white turtle that could perform divination. Among the many maids, there was even one with a talent that made Zhong Cang somewhat tempted.

She was a lively and adorable girl with long golden-red hair, whose true form was a koi fish. Her talent was—good luck.

When it came to luck, Zhong Cang really wanted to raise a group of them on the island he planned to establish, as they could gather luck for him.

However, awakened talents like the koi fish were quite rare even in Dragon Palace, and among the three to five hundred maids, there was only one koi fish.

At this moment, all these maids had gathered around Zhong Cang. If he wanted, he could immediately bring them all into his harem.

To be honest, this temptation was quite strong. As the saying goes, heroes are vulnerable to the charms of beautiful women, and with this move, Dragon Palace had established connections with many outstanding individuals from the human race.

The group of wives formed by the maids of Dragon Palace also had a considerable reputation in several surrounding regions.

However, in the end, Zhong Cang did not act recklessly. The promotion of Heavenly Heart had made him indifferent.

Moreover, he couldn't act now even if he wanted to.

...

Although he didn't act recklessly, having numerous beautiful women surrounding him still brought great joy to Zhong Cang.

However, the maids of Dragon Palace and the two dragon women were visibly anxious.

When they first heard about the marriage alliance with Zhong Cang, the two dragon women... were actually quite happy.

They even competed fiercely with their own sisters to stand out and come before Zhong Cang.

Such things were only natural in a world where power belonged to oneself. Girls always admired the strong.

And Zhong Cang's strength was undoubtedly revealed a few days ago.

One person suppressing the pride of Dragon Palace, if Zhong Cang is regarded as an enemy, he is naturally a terrifying demon king.

But if Zhong Cang is regarded as one's own, then he is the most reassuring existence.

In this situation, many dragon women want to become Zhong Cang's legal wife, then become the master's wife, and then control power in the surrounding domains with the help of Dragon Palace.

This beautiful future is desired by ambitious dragon women.

At the same time, the status of Dao cultivation in Hongxuan Continent is equivalent to the literati in the previous imperial examination era, belonging to cultured gentlemen.

Marrying a person of Dao, it is not a disgrace to oneself no matter what.

Therefore, when they knew they were going to marry Zhong Cang, the two dragon women and the maids who followed them were originally full of joy.

However, as they approached Zhong Cang and saw his current appearance, their joy immediately disappeared.

The appearance of Zhong Cang, with his hairy body and muscular giant god-like figure, frightened them all.

"Where is the elegant Daoist?"

"Father deceived me..."

"Furry... wuwu, so scary."

In front of Zhong Cang's towering 300-meter figure, the Dragon Palace maids were as small as grains of rice.

Even if they revealed their true forms, the dragon women were still as long as airplanes... chopsticks.

The terrifying difference in size immediately made the dragon women tremble in fear.

What made them feel even more uneasy was that Zhong Cang, in the form of a mountainous giant ape, exuded a violent aura all over his body, looking like a tyrant or a rough wilderness brute, a muscular savage.

This image made the two dragon women and the Dragon Palace maids have no doubt that Zhong Cang would hit women.

With this kind of attack, it would be easy for the dragon women, and even their maids, to become "sauce".

In any case, no matter how you look at it, Zhong Cang's current appearance is not suitable to be a good husband.

Zhong Cang is also helpless about this.

The explosive ape is Zhong Cang's heart, in his spiritual cultivation, it is the untamed monkey of his heart.

The monkey's heart is naturally jumpy and active.

And the heart belongs to fire, and fire is the anger of a person.

Various related characteristics caused Zhong Cang to inject his own anger into the spiritual cultivation of the explosive ape when the divine lord was born.

Therefore, when Zhong Cang refers to the monkey god, he always calls it the Flame Explosive Ape, the Heartfire Giant Ape, or the Monkey of the Heart.

It is the god of Zhong Cang's heartfire, the embodiment of anger!

In this form, the explosive ape's heart is always filled with endless anger, which is a good thing for battle.

The fullness of anger allows Zhong Cang's power to increase by three points out of thin air.

But the burning anger also causes Zhong Cang, in the form of a giant ape, to emit a violent and terrifying aura all over his body.

Being oppressed by this aura, the dragon women and the Dragon Palace maids naturally feel fear and dread.

Feeling this, Zhong Cang initially wanted to explain a few words.

But soon, he shut his mouth.

He didn't have the urgent desire to have a super-friendly relationship with the dragon women, he just wanted to teach them well and repay their kindness.

In this situation, it is clearly better for the dragon women to fear him than to like him.

"That's it... if I'm surrounded by a group of women and it delays my cultivation, it won't be beautiful."

Women only affect the speed at which I draw my sword - maintaining this indifferent expression, Zhong Cang closed his eyes and pondered the various abilities he had acquired.

"Phew... that scared me..."

Seeing Zhong Cang close his eyes, the Dragon Palace maidservants all breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, the two leading maidservants, accompanied by their subordinates, went to a corner of the palace.

At the same time, the two dragon women kept exchanging glances, trying to get the other to approach Zhong Cang.

Originally, they were rivals, but now they were somewhat eager to marry Zhong Cang in order to free themselves from the Sea of Bitterness.

Unfortunately, both dragon women standing in front of Zhong Cang were quite scheming and would not be easily persuaded.

...

The dragon women were in awe of Zhong Cang, and the disciples of the Daoist sect who had not yet left were also astonished by Zhong Cang's tremendous transformation.

His towering figure of over three hundred meters could not be concealed, and everyone saw it when Zhong Cang returned to his room.

As a result, that night, everyone discussed Zhong Cang's massive body and mourned for the Dragon Palace maidservants.

While they were engrossed in their discussions, something happened that night.

A shooting star streaked across the sky.

"It's a shooting star!"

The excited voice resounded in Zhong Cang's room, capturing his attention.

Looking up, Zhong Cang discovered that indeed, there was a shooting star in the sky.

At the same time, many talented individuals, after a moment of astonishment, began to chase after the shooting star.

Naturally, this was not for making wishes, as the legend of Gengniel did not exist in the Hongxuan Continent, and the custom of making wishes on shooting stars had not spread.

People chased after the shooting star because it was a meteorite, and each shooting star was considered an extremely precious refining treasure resource.

Faced with the shooting star, some people chased after it. Zhong Cang, of course, did not lack resources, but he suddenly had a whimsical idea and decided to test the limits of his abilities.

"It's difficult, but there's a chance..."

Thinking this, Zhong Cang's thoughts moved, and the Five Elements began to rotate within him.

"Buzz..."

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

With his massive body and vast magical power, every rotation of the Five Elements within Zhong Cang's body produced a resounding boom.

After five rotations, due to the tremendous power of the internal fission, a five-colored halo appeared behind Zhong Cang.

The halo changed with Zhong Cang's form, so even in his giant ape form, the halo behind Zhong Cang was three hundred meters in size.

"Boom!"

Every rotation of the enormous halo carried a breathtaking beauty.

The fifth rotation, the sixth rotation, the seventh rotation... soon, the Five Elements had rotated seven times.

And with seven rotations, the power of Zhong Cang's magical energy within his body had increased to 128 times its initial strength!

"Puchi!"

The excessively explosive magical power caused even the newly transformed giant ape body of Zhong Cang to struggle.

It was evident that Zhong Cang's body was cracking and petrifying, and at the same time, a tremendous gravity descended upon him, making him feel like he was resisting a mountain.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

His bones creaked, and even the giant ape body had ignited flames.

This was the innate spell of the exploding ape, the burning of the fire.

Zhong Cang is burning his blood, mana, and spiritual power to resist the heavy pressure within his body.

"No, even if my physique exceeds the standard, rotating seven times is still too strenuous!"

The mana fusion has indeed increased by 128 times, which is truly terrifying.

The only thing Zhong Cang is grateful for is that this time, the last rotation of his mana is of the earth element.

The earth elemental spiritual power does not have the explosive flames of fire or the sharpness of metal. Otherwise, as soon as the seven rotations begin, Zhong Cang's body would be torn into pieces.

Or it would explode.

What surprises Zhong Cang even more is that although the earth elemental spiritual power petrifies his body, it also stabilizes his physical body.

Lastly, there is the earth core.

By merging with the earth, Zhong Cang is able to transfer a portion of the heavy pressure and petrification within his body into the ground.

And as a result, there is a "rumble," and the island where Cloud Dream Dragon City is located experiences an earthquake.

The entire island sinks three inches.

"What's happening? An earthquake?"

"Why would there be an earthquake here?"

"It doesn't seem like an earthquake, it's more like someone causing trouble."

The sudden vibration surprises many people.

Some individuals with keen perception even detect the intense fluctuations of earth elemental mana where Zhong Cang is located, instantly realizing that Zhong Cang is the cause of the shaking in Cloud Dream Dragon City.

However, they do not understand why Zhong Cang is doing this, and some are astonished by the immense power within Zhong Cang's body.

"This mana... it's so strong, so profound. Isn't it weaker than Gold Core?"

"His strength has increased again!"

"He has grown several times stronger in such a short period. Even a Transcendent Immortal would not be able to do this. How did he achieve it?"

Feeling the profound earth elemental mana within Zhong Cang's body, some are amazed, some are astonished, and some cannot believe it.

But Zhong Cang pays no attention to any of this.

At this moment, Zhong Cang is enduring the heavy pressure of a hundred times the earth elemental mana while immersing himself in the boundless power within his body.

"Now, I am invincible at the Foundation Building stage. Even the Gold Core stage above Foundation Building can be exchanged one for one!"

The intoxicating emotion continues for a few breaths.

Finally, Zhong Cang remembers the task at hand.

With great difficulty, he raises his palm, and his massive and ferocious arm reaches towards the sky, aiming at the meteor streaking across the horizon.

In the next moment, the mana that has multiplied a hundredfold within Zhong Cang's body suddenly activates, creating a powerful gravitational force in his palm.

"Myriad Manifestations Traction!"

"Buzz!!!"

The hundredfold mana gathers in his arm, causing Zhong Cang's palm to expand by another circle. Cracks and petrification rapidly spread across his arm.

But in response, a terrifying gravitational wave emanates from Zhong Cang's palm.

"Pluck the Stars!"

"Come down for me!"

With a loud shout, Zhong Cang's ferocious palm claws fiercely at the meteor streaking across the sky, pulling it forcefully!

As the giant ape, Zhong Cang exerts all his strength, intending to catch the stars and bring the meteor from the sky down to the earth!
