359: Evolutionary World

After Li Haotian finished handling everything here, he was just about to leave.

Glancing to the side, he suddenly saw a Storage Pouch. Adhering to the principle that a thief shouldn't leave empty-handed, he directly took it for himself.

With a light sweep of his Divine Sense, he froze on the spot. To his surprise, he discovered a Token inside the Storage Pouch.

The origin of this Token seemed far from simple; a large character for "Heaven" was carved upon it.

Pigsy was currently leaning against a large tree while munching on the Fruit in his hand. The Nine-Toothed Rake was placed quietly to the side, as he waited for the fight in the cave to end.

Li Haotian's figure soon appeared, and he flew in front of him.

"Do you recognize this Token?"

Li Haotian directly brought out the Token. After Pigsy sized it up, his eyes looked as if they were about to spit fire.

"Where did you get this Heavenly Court Token?"

Li Haotian took out the Storage Pouch he had just obtained in the Immortal Cave.

Pigsy took a look and immediately flew into a rage.

"Could those damned things have done this on purpose? They are authorized by the Heavenly Court. Do they intend to keep disturbing Monkey Brother's peace even after he's dead?"

Pigsy gnashed his teeth in anger. Once a person is gone, their tea grows cold. These monkeys were born to a bitter fate; who knows how many monkey descendants had been captured and brought to these monsters' caves to become their meals.

"Alright, let's go find your Senior Brother's grave first."

Pigsy sighed softly, and the two of them rose into the air, soaring into the distance. Not long after they left, a figure arrived at the Immortal Cave.

"Someone actually killed my mount. Interesting. I'd like to see who exactly did this!"

A Powerhouse slowly walked into the Immortal Cave. A crack suddenly split open on his forehead, followed by the emergence of an eyeball.

The golden light from the eyeball instantly enveloped the entire Immortal Cave, capturing everything that had happened previously.

"Hmph, this Divine Ability is indeed formidable. Although it can only exert half the effect of that person from back then, it is already very useful."

"To dare kill my mount... I've never seen this kid's face before!"

By this time, Pigsy had already brought Li Haotian back to the Flower Fruit Mountain region, releasing all the monkeys they had just rescued back into the forest.

"Things have changed here. Old Pig hasn't been to this place for ten thousand years. Senior Brother's grave is indeed a bit hard to find."

Pigsy searched carefully in the forest. After ten thousand years of change, the former burial mound had long since disappeared.

"After Senior Brother died, his body petrified here and turned into a Stone Monkey, but it seems there is a marvelous evolution occurring within his body."

"I feel this is very important, and it might even be sensed by those old fogies of the Heavenly Court. If that happens, Senior Brother won't even be able to rest in peace after death."

"So, after burying Senior Brother, I specifically set up a Formation. As long as I can sense this Formation, I can know exactly where Senior Brother is."

Li Haotian nodded in understanding. He then followed the other for three whole days and nights in Flower Fruit Mountain, finally sensing an extremely weak Formation fluctuation near a ditch.

"It's right here!!"

Pigsy excitedly swung his Nine-Toothed Rake, striking directly and kicking up a large amount of soil.

After digging down dozens of meters, he finally discovered the Formation he had laid.

"The Flower Fruit Mountain you see now is the result of ten thousand years of evolution. Back then, I buried Senior Brother in Flower Fruit Mountain's former Water Curtain Cave, which is right here."

In the empty cave, the echoes of their conversation rang out.

Li Haotian surprisingly discovered some traces of past life within this Water Curtain Cave.

Some items like stone tables were still preserved here, though they had changed and been eroded beyond recognition.

Yet, one could still vaguely see that people had once used these utensils.

"Senior Brother is over there."

Pigsy stepped forward to look. A look of helplessness appeared on his face as he saw the burial mound that was nearly leveled; one of his Eldest Senior Brother's hands was even exposed.

Soon, Pigsy personally dug away all the soil bit by bit and unearthed the stone statue below. It was the image of a monkey with a large hole broken in its chest, blood flowing from the corners of its mouth, and eyes tightly closed.

"Eldest Senior Brother, I told you that you'd have another tribulation after ten thousand years. Now Old Pig has to dig up your grave with his own hands. Don't worry, Old Pig will definitely find a way to avenge you!"

Pigsy began to weep as he spoke, then carefully cleaned the dust off the Stone Monkey.

Just then, he suddenly noticed some spots of light flickering within the large broken hole in the Monkey King's chest.

Li Haotian also leaned in curiously, staring intently at the Stone Monkey's chest.

The hero once in his heart had now fallen to such a state; it was truly lamentable.

The remains looked very tragic, clearly having suffered a siege from countless Powerhouses.

"My god, Monkey Brother actually evolved a world within his own body!"

Li Haotian froze on the spot, a look of astonishment on his face.

"This large hole in his chest is the entrance to his body. There is likely a Legacy left by Monkey Brother inside, and the Secret Technique you want should be in there too."

Pigsy investigated carefully, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

"In that case, I'll go inside to scout it out. Do you want to come with me?"

Li Haotian prepared to enter.

Pigsy shook his head.

"Old Pig won't go for now. Since we found this place, it's very likely others will too. I'll stay out here and keep watch for you."

"If anyone discovers Monkey Brother's body, I can stop them immediately."

Pigsy had been cautious and prudent all these years. The schemes of the Heavenly Court and Spirit Mountain had far from ceased. Even after all this time, he felt as though he was still living within an invisible giant hand.

Li Haotian nodded, then lightly touched the Stone Monkey's chest. In the next instant, he was sucked in by a strange force.

The surrounding space shifted, revealing what appeared to be a forest.

Li Haotian looked around in confusion, and soon a peach forest appeared before his eyes.

Then, many monkeys appeared and climbed the trees with nimble hands and feet.

They placed all the picked peaches onto a small cart.

One of the monkeys took a peach into its arms, rubbed it against its fur, and then handed it to Li Haotian.

Li Haotian instinctively reached out to take it. He thought he was just an observer, but he hadn't expected to have become one of these monkeys.

Looking down at his body, sure enough, his body was covered in thick fur, no different from a monkey.

"Stop dazing off. I heard the King is coming back today. You're young, so you probably haven't seen the King. This time I'll take you to get a good look at him!"

An elderly monkey gently patted his shoulder.
