Chapter 23: The Legend of Wukong: The Demon King Qitian
In the deserted mountains of the East China Sea, the thousands of immortals with their own ulterior motives, under the agitation of suspected Subhuti's inner response, all instilled fairy spirits at the Nine Orifices Fairy Stones. A large amount of fairy spirits permeated the entire island, causing a storm of fairy spirits.
In the middle of the storm, the Nine Orifices and Fairy Stones devoured the fairy energy. The nine orifices and eight holes on the fairy stone seemed to turn into springs that emit light, gradually extending countless lines and lines, like the blood vessels of the human body, spreading up and down the fairy stones.
"After nurturing the heaven and earth, and having the fortune of thousands of immortals, what treasure will be born from this immortal stone?" Yang Chan murmured in the shadow not far away.
"No matter what can be born in this immortal stone, a war involving all the immortals and gods present is about to begin, and it is destined to be very tragic!" Yang Jian raised his eyes and looked at the immortal stone that almost turned into a golden egg and said solemnly.
"Su Jin, what do you think?" Yang Chan nodded and said.
"I think it's better for us to withdraw from the barren mountains now and hide away." Su Jinqing listened to the unseen heartbeat inside the immortal stone and said seriously.
Yang Chan didn't know Su Jin's background, but was willing to believe his judgment. There was no conflict between the two. Therefore, the three of them quietly left the Wuming Barren Mountain and hid in the deep mountains and forests outside the beach.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang..."
Just after they left, sounds of heartbeat came from the fairy stone, from smaller to larger, like a roar of war drums.
"It seems that the treasure is about to be born, everyone should work harder!" The strong man in animal skin was overjoyed and said loudly.
"This sound doesn't seem to be something that a treasure can make!" At this time, the immortal god had already noticed something was wrong and spoke in confusion.
"Stop sending fairy energy and watch it change!" Some earth immortal put down his palms, and his whole body was shining inward.
The light of the fairy aura connected to the fairy stone began to dissipate. The immortals each held weapons in their hands, staring at the fairy stones that released golden light.
"Crack, Crack..." Countless deep cracks suddenly cracked on the fairy stone. Some people were startled and retreated one after another; some people rushed over with the idea of snatching the treasures.
"boom!"
Suddenly, the huge fairy stone exploded, and the loud noise shook the sky. The fragments of the fairy stone turned into blades and penetrated the bodies of hundreds of nearby immortals and gods. The violent power carried in them killed their souls in that moment, and hundreds of corpses piled up on the top of the mountain.
The fairy stone shattered, and a dark demon ape trampled on dust and fragments, was born and born, roaring at the immortals with a ferocious face.
"So this is not a magic weapon, but a monster." A earth immortal said unwillingly: "Then what we have been waiting these days and what we have been paying these days?"
"This demon ape was born with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If we instill the immortal energy into it, it will definitely be extraordinary. If we can kill the body and soul, it will be worthwhile to do this." A god holding a golden hammer in his hand, shouted in the air and rushed towards the demon ape.
The Demon Ape knew it first and understood what he said, so he became even more angry and violent. He raised his arm and punched the golden hammer, forcibly knocked the golden armored god away, then roared into the group of immortals, punched the palm and cut it, and ran rampantly, causing a bloody storm.
"Monster, monster!"
In the blink of an eye, Wanxian was scared by the demon ape. Most of them wanted to turn around and escape, but something happened to them. No matter which direction they flew in, they would eventually fly to the demon ape.
"The whole mountain has become a flesh-and-blood mill. Su Jin, how did you guess this kind of thing?" Yang Chan asked with lingering fear outside the beach, in the old forest.
If she hadn't listened to Su Jin's words and retreated from Wuming's deserted mountain, she would probably have a lot of luck.
"This is just the beginning..." Su Jin shook his head and said, "Silly kid, use magic to record the current scene! After returning to the Heavenly Palace, give the scene you recorded to the Holy Heavenly Lord, and your mission will be completed."
Yang Chan was stunned and thought to herself, "Yes, why didn't I expect it?"
After a long time, the demon ape slaughtered thousands of immortals, shattered their flesh and blood and bodies, and mixed them inch by inch into the earth. As a result, all things grew, countless trees, flowers, plants, and even lives appeared almost visible to the naked eye.
The demon ape looked up at the fairy mountain in the sea that was brilliant because of itself, and a smile appeared on his hideous face. He turned his head and looked towards the deep mountains and old forests. To be precise, he looked at the three people hiding in the forest.
"He found us." Yang Chan said nervously.
"Go away quickly." Su Jin grabbed her wrist with his left hand, raised his right hand, quickly built a void gate, and rushed in with her.
"boom!"
Just as Yang Jian set out to raise his steps and was about to enter the Void Gate, the huge body of the demon ape suddenly fell from the sky and violently shattered the Void Gate.
Yang Jian: “…”
Nine-level Heavenly Palace, in Tianji School.
A gate of void appeared out of thin air, and two figures, one in front and one behind, walked out.
"Su Jin, where is my second brother?" When his wrist was released, Yang Chan subconsciously turned her eyes and saw that the Void Gate had turned into light and disappeared, and she could not see her second brother.
"It seems that I didn't follow me." Su Jin said lightly.
Yang Chan's heart suddenly stumbled, and she reached out and grabbed Su Jin's hands and said, "Take me back quickly, we want to bring my second brother back."
"If you don't go, he is your second brother, not my second brother. I care whether he is going to die or not." Su Jin shook his head decisively.
Seeing the indifference and impatientness between his eyebrows, Yang Chan suddenly felt happy and said loudly: "If you don't save my second brother, I will pester you every day in the future and bother you every day, so that you can see me at all times."
Su Jin: "..."
"Su Jin, it's not too late. Let's go and save my second brother quickly. The demon ape is extremely cruel. He is afraid he is in danger now."
"You stay here honestly, I'll take him back." Su Jin thought for a while, and without waiting for her to agree, her body disappeared in front of her.
Without people, using the infinite teleportation function of the space gem does not need to open the Void Gate, which is enough to save a lot of trouble.
The coast of the East China Sea, the deep mountains and old forests.
Yang Jian, holding an ice blue three-pointed two-edged sword, bulged his muscles all over his body, gritted his teeth and fought with the demon ape. His eyes, ears and even his nostrils were shaking blood out of shock. There was still a strange and powerful force in his body running wildly.
"Bang!"
The demon ape slapped heavily on the three-pointed two-edged sword, and the long sword kept trembling. Yang Jian's thin body quickly retreated, and his toes plowed two deep marks on the ground.
"Swish!"
A void door suddenly appeared beside him. Before he could react, he stretched out a palm from the door, grabbed his wrist and pulled him into the door, disappearing in front of the demon ape.
The Demon Ape quietly looked at the place where the Void Gate disappeared, without beating his chest and stamping his feet, nor roaring to the sky. Instead, there was a trace of thought in his eyes that did not match his bulky body shape.
"Second brother, are you okay?" In Tianji School, when Yang Chan saw Su Jin pulling Yang Jian's arm and walking out of the Void Gate, Yang Chan's mood stabilized and ran to the two of them and said.
"I'm fine." Yang Jian said in a deep voice: "Chan'er, you go to Master Sheng Tianzun now and report everything about the deserted mountains of the East China Sea truthfully."
Yang Chan hesitated and said, "But..."
"Don't worry, with Su Jin here, I won't have anything to do." Yang Jian waved his hand.
Yang Chan turned her eyes and looked at Su Jin, feeling relieved: "This time I owe you a favor. If you have the chance in the future, you will definitely repay it."
"No need, just stay away from me in the future." Su Jin said.
Yang Chan: “…”
Not long after, after she left, Yang Jian clasped his fists at Su Jin and said, "No matter what the reason you took action, it finally saved my life. Yang Jian also remembered this kindness in his heart."
After hearing what he said, Su Jin then reacted: a simple effort brought the sincere thanks from the two great gods and two favors, and it seemed that he had made money again...
Deep in the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Lord’s Palace.
After watching the scene in Yang Chan's mirror magic and listening to her detailed narrative, Shangsheng Tianzun calculated his fingers, but he did not calculate anything. His face suddenly became cold as ice, and he said in a deep voice: "Shangguan Jing, hold a court meeting and summon all the immortals to meet."
"Yes." A female official who was accompanying her nodded and hurriedly left the palace.
A quarter of an hour later, in the side palace of Lingxiao, the Holy Heavenly Lord stood in front of the golden dragon throne, high above, looking down at the gods below the stage: "In the border area between the East China Sea and Aolai Kingdom, there is an unknown deserted mountain. Today, a demon ape popped up from the strange rock on the top of the barren mountain. I calculated that the fate of this demon ape is not under the control of Tianjiyi. It is a heretic demon. It must lower the heavenly fire and destroy it. Who can do this heavenly fire?"
The gods were silent and did not give this Holy Heavenly Lord any face.
When the Jade Emperor was there, his own prestige could shock the court. How could he use any heavenly guise? Only leaders like Shangsheng Tianzun who have insufficient prestige, insufficient means, and insufficient strength would think of using this means to stabilize their rule.
"Why? I'm mute? Or is it that my heavenly court can't even find a heavenly general who can subdue demons and demons?" Shangsheng Tianzun said angrily.
Seeing that the Saint Heavenly Lord was always on him with a sharp look as sharp as a knife, the Heavenly Lord Tota sighed slightly and said, "My dear Li Jing, I am willing to order troops and eliminate demons for the Heavenly Lord!"
...
In Tianji School, after Yang Chan came back, Su Jin said goodbye to the brother and sister, turned around and walked towards the Dixian Pavilion.
Along the way, he always felt someone following him, but every time he turned around and looked, he couldn't find a figure. This strange feeling continued until he returned to his room.
"Stop hiding, come out." Standing in front of the bed, Su Jin looked up at the door and said.
The room was silent, everything seemed to be suspicious of himself.
"Do you still refuse to come out? I will disappear immediately if you believe it or not, so that you can't find me?" Su Jin sneered.
"How did my junior brother discover me? I thought about it, but I didn't expect where I had a flaw." Subhuti, who was wearing a white long gown and white hair, stepped out of the void and said with a wry smile.
"From a keen sense of touch to danger," Su Jin spread his hands and said, "If I don't even have this sense of touch, with my current strength, I will not be able to live now."
Subhuti's eyes flashed with a clear look and said, "Junior brother, I heard from the demon ape that he saw you when he was born."
"Yes, I just happened to pass by." Su Jin said.
"Junior brother, our opportunity is here." Subhutixin knew very well that the other party was definitely not that coincidental, but compared with the overall plan in his mind, the truth of this matter is no longer important.
"Opportunity?" Su Jin said: "I don't understand what you mean."
"Shangsheng Tianzun has ordered Li Jing to go to the barren mountain to eliminate demons today. I am going to let the demon ape give up the name of the Demon King of the Qitian, openly oppose the rule of the Shangsheng Tianzun, and do not obey the destiny of Shangsheng Tianzun, but do not oppose the Heavenly Court.
Because of the Tianjiyi incident, the gods have always complained about the Holy Heavenly Lord. In this case, how could Li Jing fight to the Demon Ape desperately? As long as the Demon Ape can survive this level, the name of the Demon King of Qi Tian will resound throughout the three realms. At that time, a large number of strong men who are not convinced of the Demon of Saint Heavenly Lord will stop and gather around the Demon King of Qi Tian, and jointly oppose the Heavenly Lord of Qi Tian.” Subhuti said.
Su Jin thought about what he said seriously and couldn't help but say, "Senior Brother, all this has nothing to do with me!"
"No, you will play an important role in this process." Subhuti said: "But before talking about this question, I would like to ask my junior brother a question first. Why do you think the Holy Heavenly Lord asked the old man Tianji to establish the Tianji School and spare no effort to develop the Tianji School?"
Su Jin said without hesitation: "Cultivate confidants."
"That's right, my junior brother is indeed very thoughtful. Over the years, the reason why Shang Sheng Tianzun has developed Tianji School so crazily is to cultivate a group of close friends.
Because the gods in the heavenly court have their own factions, even when the Jade Emperor was there, they used the Gods' List to cooperate with their prestige to rule the heavens, so that the gods would surrender and drive them. However, now the Jade Emperor is reincarnated in seclusion, and the Heavenly Court is temporarily ruled by the former Empress and the current Shangsheng Heavenly Venerable. Compared with the Jade Emperor, what is the Shangsheng Heavenly Venerable? She has nothing.
Therefore, I could only imitate the List of Gods and refine a Tianji Artifact, trying to use it to rule the heavens. At the same time, I set up the Tianji School and select talented people to train them carefully in the future, hoping that they can become their cornerstones.
This is also the main reason why Tianji School recruits students only depends on talent but not on strength.
