Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

"Senior, are there any other true demons?" Zhang Yuanjing asked. This Green-Eyed Suanni Beast was only at the early stage of demon core cultivation, so it was not worth worrying about.

Fire Crow Taoist gave a wry smile, "This one alone is troublesome enough. Don't underestimate it just because its cultivation is low. This beast has many strange qualities. It's easy for us to drive it away, but extremely difficult to capture it."

"Its escape technique is quite extraordinary, you could say it's slippery and hard to hit its main body. When it runs, it's as fast as lightning. Even flying with Qi is not much slower than a Core Formation cultivator, let alone running on the ground! You need to be especially careful about this, Fellow Taoist! Moreover, its eyesight is extremely sharp, and once it's targeted you, it's hard to shake off."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanjing was also a little dumbfounded. If this demon beast couldn't be beaten or shaken off, how could he find the Earth Abyss!

"Senior, is there any way to deal with it?"

"Let's wait and see. The behavior of this Green-Eyed Suanni Beast is a bit strange!"

Fire Crow Taoist stared at the beast with a thoughtful expression, "According to Xiong Qifeng, there are at least five true demons in the mountain, and they are fighting Yin monsters together. Generally speaking, different kinds of demon beasts do not live together harmoniously. With the ability of this Green-Eyed Suanni Beast, it should have discovered us long ago, but it didn't call for companions. There must be a hidden reason!"

Zhang Yuanjing subconsciously looked at Ape Thirteen. If there was a hidden reason, it could only be related to it. He saw the golden-haired giant ape suddenly widen its eyes, staring straight at a dense forest to the left, with a look of confusion and nervousness on its face.

"Another Golden-Haired Giant Ape!" Fire Crow Taoist exclaimed.

His divine sense was the strongest, clearly perceiving everything within a forty-mile radius. Following Ape Thirteen's gaze, he immediately discovered the abnormality in the dense forest, and was greatly surprised. He hurriedly turned his head to look at Ape Thirteen a couple of times, then shook his head, "Hmm, there are some differences. That giant ape only has golden hair on its back, while this one is covered in golden hair all over. But, other than that, they look exactly alike!"

"A Golden-Backed Giant Ape?" The shock in Zhang Yuanjing's heart was no less than that of Fire Crow Taoist. He thought, could there also be a giant ape here that has formed a partnership with a cultivator!

At this moment, Ape Thirteen suddenly took two steps forward, then stopped.

"Brother Ape?"

"Yuanjing, I sense the aura of my clansmen, but I don't know which former clan leader it is. In our Golden-Backed Giant Ape clan, only the clan leader can travel far from the valley."

"Oh, that's a coincidence. Why not go up and take a look?"

"No, I'll stay by your side to avoid any accidents!"

Ape Thirteen, who had broken through to a new realm, was indeed different from before. He was more cautious and less reckless, which made Zhang Yuanjing quite satisfied.

At this time, the mysterious visitor finally entered Zhang Yuanjing's divine sense range. It was indeed a Golden-Backed Giant Ape, with a mid-stage demon core cultivation. Its size and appearance were almost the same as Ape Thirteen. Of course, there were also small differences, namely that the facial features were more gentle than Ape Thirteen's, making it look less ferocious.

After about ten breaths, the giant ape quickly walked out of the darkness of the dense forest, its wide feet stepping on the thick fallen leaves, making "puff puff puff" sounds.

When its silhouette was completely revealed from the shadows, Ape Thirteen "squeaked" and rushed up to hug it. Then, the two giant apes, like long-lost relatives, "squeaked" non-stop, completely ignoring the two humans and one beast beside them who were watching in confusion.

After about half an hour, Ape Thirteen pointed at Zhang Yuanjing and said a few words to the giant ape. The giant ape walked towards him and bowed its fist in salute like a cultivator. Zhang Yuanjing quickly returned the greeting.

"Yuanjing, this is my grandfather, the former clan leader of our Golden-Backed Giant Ape clan, Ape Twelve." Ape Thirteen's voice transmission was full of joy.

"Oh, so you are… Clan Leader Ape, nice to meet you!" Of course, Zhang Yuanjing couldn't call a monkey grandfather, so he vaguely referred to it as Clan Leader Ape. Anyway, the giant ape wouldn't mind.

Ape Twelve grinned, and then "squeaked" for a long time. Ape Thirteen translated for him: "My grandfather said, thank you for giving me the soul ring. Only a Golden-Backed Giant Ape with a soul ring can cultivate the Nine Revolutions Golden Body like me and become a true bloodline inheritor."

Regarding the soul ring, Zhang Yuanjing wanted to say something but hesitated, so he humbly said a few words and asked about Ape Twelve's experiences.

Ape Twelve "squeaked" a few times. Ape Thirteen said: "My grandfather said that this is not the place to talk. He invites Yuanjing and this Taoist priest to his residence."

Zhang Yuanjing looked at Fire Crow Taoist, "Senior, this giant ape is the ancestor of my Brother Ape. He invites us to his cave for a chat. What do you think?"

Fire Crow Taoist laughed heartily, "This is quite an interesting matter. This old Taoist has cultivated for hundreds of years, and this is the first time I've encountered such an adventure. How could I miss it!"

So, the two humans and one ape followed Ape Twelve towards the dense forest on the left, while the Green-Eyed Suanni Beast suddenly accelerated and disappeared into the trees on the side.

Zhang Yuanjing tentatively asked, "Clan Leader Ape, are there any other demon core realm true demons in this mountain?"

Ape Twelve immediately nodded and said a few words to Ape Thirteen.

Ape Thirteen said, "Yuanjing, my grandfather said there are three more Red Howlers in the mountain, and they don't get along with him and the Green-Eyed Suanni Beast."

"Oh, then what is the relationship between this Green-Eyed Suanni Beast and your grandfather?"

"My grandfather saved its life from a powerful demon beast. At that time, it was still at the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Enlightenment realm. Because it stole a spiritual herb guarded by a powerful Black Flame Beast, it was caught and almost bitten to death. After being rescued, it successfully advanced to the Pseudo-Core stage by relying on the spiritual herb it swallowed. Like my grandfather, it is also alone, without any clansmen by its side. From then on, they traveled together, like brothers among humans."

"Its escape technique is really amazing. It disappeared in the blink of an eye. What did it go to do?"

"The three Red Howlers are guarding the cliff on the opposite mountain peak, not far from here. It went to monitor the three beasts' movements to prevent them from discovering anything unusual and launching a surprise attack!"

As they spoke, they arrived at the foot of the mountain on the left. This peak was very majestic, with a gentle slope on one side, covered with lush trees, and a cliff on the other, overlooking a deep ravine. The black crack seen from a distance was this deep ravine. Green smoke billowed out of it. It was now completely dark, but with the help of the faint starlight, they could still see the green smoke rolling out, filling the forest and fields, bringing a heavy sense of Yin and cold.

Zhang Yuanjing pointed to the ravine and asked, "Clan Leader Ape, what is that place?"

Ape Twelve waved his hand and quickly ran towards a large rock on the hillside. Bypassing the rock, there was a large cave two zhang high behind it. There seemed to be glowing objects in the cave, making it very bright.

Zhang Yuanjing and Fire Crow Taoist had already scanned it with their divine sense. The cave was about twenty zhang deep, and the inner walls were inlaid with a kind of luminous stone. Eight cave dwellings like stone rooms were dug out at the back of the cave, dry and clean. Some were empty, some were furnished with stone benches and tables, and some stored dried meat and spiritual fruits.

At the end of the cave, there was also a hidden passage, sloping outwards, with the exit in a dense forest, and a huge stone door covered by deep grass.

Ape Twelve made a gesture of invitation, with an excited smile on his face. Zhang Yuanjing and Fire Crow Taoist exchanged glances, and stepped into the cave, with Fire Crow Taoist following closely behind. Ape Twelve took two quick steps to lead the way, just like human etiquette.

Ape Twelve led the two humans and Ape Thirteen into the cave dwelling with stone benches and tables, invited the two humans and one ape to sit down, and went to the stone caves next to it to bring more than a dozen plates of dried meat and spiritual fruits before sitting down to talk, telling Ape Thirteen in detail about his departure from Mist Spirit Mountain.

It turned out that when Ape Twelve reached three thousand years old, he felt hopeless in obtaining a soul ring, and was unwilling to block the progress of his descendants, so he followed the clan's custom and left the valley on his own to find opportunities for breakthroughs elsewhere.

He left Mist Spirit Mountain and traveled west, encountering many cultivators and demon beasts. Sometimes he slaughtered everywhere, and sometimes he was chased and fled in panic. After overcoming all kinds of dangers, he entered the Yu Mountain Marsh. This could be called a paradise for demon beasts. He was like a fish in water, happy and unwilling to return home, and from then on, he roamed freely in the mountain marsh.

Once, he hunted and killed a demon core realm Thunder Horned Bull, eating its blood raw, activating the power of his bloodline, and successfully breaking through to the mid-stage demon core realm. This made him overjoyed, thinking he had found a breakthrough path that did not rely on soul rings, so he searched everywhere in Yu Mountain Marsh and Dragon Mountain Marsh for spiritual herbs, constantly improving his cultivation strength.

After nearly a thousand years of accumulation, his cultivation became stronger and stronger, and he was about to approach the late stage realm, but suddenly a problem appeared, which was frequent headaches. At first, it was very slight, but later it continued to worsen. In the past hundred years, it had occurred frequently, each time making his skull feel like it was cracking and causing unbearable pain.

The Green-Eyed Suanni Beast had been raised by cultivators and had seen a lot after escaping. This beast said that his situation was caused by the demon beast's physical body being stronger than its divine soul, and the Yang fire suppressing the Yin spirit. He had to strengthen his divine soul to solve the headache problem and continue to cultivate.

This beast also said that there was an Earth Abyss in You Earth Mountain, not far northwest of Yu Mountain Marsh, and a kind of Underworld Soul Grass grew in the abyss, which could help demon beasts neutralize Yin and Yang, enhance soul power, and cure the problem of physical body and divine soul incompatibility. Therefore, thirty years ago, under the guidance of this Green-Eyed Suanni Beast, they came to You Earth Mountain to find the Underworld Soul Grass.

"Yuanjing, would taking Spirit Enhancing Pills be effective for my grandfather's condition?" Ape Thirteen asked through divine sense transmission.

"If strengthening the divine soul can remove the illness, Spirit Enhancing Pills will definitely be useful. As for how effective they are, you'll only know after taking them!" Zhang Yuanjing replied.

"I still have a few Spirit Enhancing Pills on me, can I give them to my grandfather to take?"

"Of course you can!"

However, Ape Twelve firmly refused to accept them. His explanation was that the pills Zhang Yuanjing gave to Ape Thirteen could only be used by Ape Thirteen, and no other clansmen could accept them. Otherwise, the other giant apes would not need to obtain soul rings and could also quickly improve their realm, which would obviously violate the ancestral oath and was absolutely not allowed.

This old monkey is quite stubborn, and nothing I say works, so I can only give up.
