128: Heritage site, colorful clouds
"Six-Desire Stone Demon Ape?"
"The Six-Desire Stone Demon Ape is capable of transformation and understands the human heart. It can read the surface memories of others and transform into the form they desire most. The lower its spirituality, the more realistic the transformation."
"The ancestor of this ape once accompanied the Demon Quelling Heavenly Venerable on campaigns across the four directions, pacifying countless demons and monsters." Priest Gu Yue whispered, his gaze landing on the white ape on Chu Jiang's shoulder, a hint of emotion showing in his eyes.
"Now that you have subdued him, it is truly a cycle of Karma."
Demon Quelling Heavenly Venerable.
This was the second time Chu Jiang had heard this name. The last time was from the remnant soul of the Brahma True Demon, where he learned that the Mountain Sea Suppressing Demon Seal he Cultivates was created by the Demon Quelling Heavenly Venerable.
"Your Excellency, are you a successor of the Demon Quelling Heavenly Venerable?" Chu Jiang asked further.
"Fellow Daoist, you speak too seriously. With my meager skills, how could I dare call myself a successor of the Demon Quelling Heavenly Venerable?" Priest Gu Yue shook his head. The Demon Quelling Heavenly Venerable was an ancient almighty who had long since faded into the annals of ancient history.
Even if there were a successor, they would surely be of peerless talent, rare in the human world. He had merely obtained one or two Moves by chance and received his favor; how could he be so arrogant?
Chu Jiang smiled slightly.
This person chanted the edicts of the Demon Quelling Heavenly Venerable; even if he were not a successor, he must certainly have an inextricable connection with the Demon Quelling Heavenly Venerable.
He chatted with Priest Gu Yue for a few moments.
He learned some information about the Demon Quelling Heavenly Venerable.
The Demon Quelling Heavenly Venerable was an almighty figure from the ancient era, having eliminated countless demons and monsters, standing as the supreme powerhouse of that era.
He was the figure most feared by demons and monsters.
It is impossible to determine which era he specifically belonged to; at the very least, it was before the Great Qin, perhaps even several dynasties before that.
After a long while.
Chu Jiang regained his focus, looked at the Six-Desire Stone Demon Ape on his shoulder, and said: "How about I give you a name? Let's call you Xiao Bai, how is that?"
"Master..."
"Good, since you aren't speaking, that means you agree."
Six-Desire Stone Demon Ape (ꐦÒ ‸ Ó): Did you even ask me?
I am a Six-Desire Stone Demon Ape, a being whose ancestors followed the Demon Quelling Heavenly Venerable. To actually give me this name, it smears the reputation of my ancestors.
Old Ancestor.
I am sorry > people< X ﹏ X .
Now, I am not in control of my own fate.
When one is under the eaves, one must bow their head.
"Master, I like this name very much," the Six-Desire Stone Demon Ape said insincerely.
"By the way, what were you trying to do by impersonating me?"
"I was just bored and wanted to take on two human pets to play with."
He truly wanted to find two living people; he had been trapped in this godforsaken place for decades.
He couldn't get out.
He was nearly going insane.
He couldn't enter Ghost Moon Village either, as he was blocked by that old fellow, the Priest.
"I even brought Medicinal Pills, but they didn't believe me!"
The Six-Desire Stone Demon Ape took out the Medicinal Pills from its bosom again and shook them.
It said with some grievance.
It failed to acquire human pets and instead became someone else's spirit pet.
Fu Yunxuan looked at the little white ape on Chu Jiang's shoulder, finding it inexplicably cute.
Just as she was about to reach out to touch it.
She heard the little white ape shout: "Bah! This old monk does not associate with women. Please stay away from me, young lady; I am not your pet!"
As it spoke, it transformed into a clumsy-looking old monk with an evil grin, looking at Fu Yunxuan, which scared her into quickly withdrawing her hand.
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed in unison.
This Six-Desire Stone Demon Ape was truly amusing.
The four people and one ape walked and laughed, strolling through the red haze as they set off on the journey back to Gu Yue Village.
Priest Gu Yue still held a copper bell in his hand. Although the red haze would not approach within a hundred meters of Chu Jiang, he dared not completely relax in order to deal with unknown dangers.
However, without the control of the Eight-Eyed Ghost King, the threat of this red haze would be greatly reduced.
In a few years, this red haze might disappear completely.
Chu Jiang's actions.
Could be considered a deed of Karma for the Wasteland World.
For hundreds of years, this Eight-Eyed Ghost King had controlled the red haze, rampaging across the Wasteland World and devouring countless living beings. If it hadn't been for the fact that he had coincidentally received a bit of the Heavenly Venerable's favor.
Gu Yue Village would have also dissipated.
Just at this moment.
At the far end of the world.
A dazzling light erupted.
A seven-colored auspicious cloud appeared in the sky, with ten thousand rays of rosy light, as if a fairyland had descended upon the mortal world.
"It is the Seven-Colored Cloud; the Ghost Moon Legacy site has opened!"
Priest Gu Yue looked toward the horizon, somewhat surprised. By rights, the time for the Ghost Moon Legacy site had not yet arrived.
How could it have opened early?
"Let's go!"
Chu Jiang gave a light shout.
They had come for Ghost Moon in the first place, to prevent Earth Fiend Hall from obtaining that piece of Peerless Grade Human Demon Bone.
With the Ghost Moon Legacy site open, they naturally would not miss it.
"Fellow Daoist, let us part ways here!"
Priest Gu Yue said. He still needed to return to Gu Yue Village; he had been away for quite some time and feared some unforeseen event might occur there.
Chu Jiang nodded.
The two flew off in different directions, disappearing into the dust and fog.
...
Deep within Gu Yue Village.
"The Ghost Moon Legacy site has opened; our Opportunity has arrived! Let's go!" Wu Luren laughed loudly. This place was eerie; it was best to get the storage pouch and leave early.
"Yes, Commander!"
The skinny man and the golden-bow woman followed closely behind.
On the other side.
"The Peerless Grade Human Demon Bone is within the grasp of my Earth Fiend Hall. Whoever dares to snatch it, kill them!"
Elder Tianhuo said coldly.
"Where is the Nine-tailed Demon Lord?"
Tianshui looked at the Golden Pig Demon Lord and said. The Nine-tailed Demon Lord had already been gone for quite some time, and with the Ghost Moon Cave Treasure Trove right before them, she was nowhere to be seen.
"I don't know!"
The Golden Pig Demon Lord shook his head.
The Nine-tailed Demon Lord had only told him she had some business to attend to and left, but she didn't tell him where she was going.
"Forget it, let's not wait for her!"
"With her strength, as long as she doesn't run into a taboo, no one in this Ghost Moon Cave can hurt her."
"Time waits for no one!"
Tianhuo said in a deep voice.
Several streaks of light cut through the air, flying toward the seven-colored auspicious cloud on the horizon.
Meanwhile, inside Ghost Moon Cave.
There were still hundreds of martial artists entering one after another from the outside, and the number was still growing.
Because most people lacked information.
Without the help of the local villagers, most of the martial artists met their end immediately.
Either torn apart by demonized monsters or targeted by eerie existences.
Or they were tainted by taboos and lost their sanity.
The casualties were heavy.
Less than one-tenth of the people saw that seven-colored auspicious cloud.
"Seven-Colored Cloud; this is a great fortune bestowed by heaven!"
"An auspicious omen!"
"Elders, follow me and charge over! Seize the Treasure Trove and spread the prestige of our sect!" The yellow-robed man had eyes like gods, as if he had seen the light.
He was the Sect Master of the Huangji Sect, Mang Jingang, one of the six major forces in Annan Prefecture. As the major force closest to White Stone County, he naturally arrived at the first Opportunity.
Just at this moment.
A middle-aged man in blue robes suddenly appeared in front of the Huangji Sect.
His eyes were frosty, and he looked around indifferently.
"Is this the Ghost Moon Cave? In such a rotten world, is there really a Treasure Trove?"
He frowned and looked at the people of the Huangji Sect.
"Greetings, Senior. We have also just arrived and are not clear about the situation inside."
A flash of shock crossed Mang Jingang's eyes. This blue-robed middle-aged man had vigorous Qi and blood, like a river; he was undoubtedly a Grandmaster realm powerhouse.
"This Junior is willing to follow your lead, Senior!"
Mang Jingang looked at the blue-robed middle-aged man and immediately softened his stance; this was not called lacking backbone.
This was called being sensible of the times, a strategic cooperation.
The blue-robed middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction; he liked such talent.
Understanding things without needing to be taught.
The group gathered and headed toward the seven-colored auspicious cloud.
...
Unknown Place.
At this moment, a terrifying soul sound came through.
"Hehehe, come, all of you come, hehehe..."
"My dear darlings!"
"Grandma has come to see you!"
