"Young friend, the owner of this place is a figure from seven thousand years ago, Yiquan Recluse! As for this master, I have never seen him, I am a descendant of the first generation of long-ard apes by dozens of generations! Look inside this cave, these are the skeletal remains of the powerful ancestors of my long-ard ape lineage!"
As he spoke, the long-ard ape pointed with a finger, a stream of light shot into the cave, illuminating the dark cave, allowing Li Yunjing to see rows of skeletal remains laid out on the ground.
"This..."
Li Yunjing was extrely shocked, inside was almost a small mountain of white bones. He wondered how each generation of long-ard apes reproduced, and why only one was left.
"Hehe! Curious about why the whole clan disappeared? Leaving just alone?"
The long-ard ape sneered, "The weak ones born naturally died and beca food. The strong ones could barely survive and activate their bloodline power, becoming demons."
"But even demons have a day when their lifespan ends!"
"Qi Refining Realm, Foundation Establishnt Realm, Golden Core Realm, all are different!"
"Now, those who should die and those who shouldn’t, all are dead, leaving just !"
"If within two hundred years I can’t escape this place and reach extre distances to advance to Tier Four, I’ll hardly escape old age and death!"
"I see!"
Listening to the long-ard ape’s words, Li Yunjing’s expression turned solemn; only now did he understand how difficult it was for this long-ard ape to survive.
Li Yunjing asked again, "What about other demon beasts here? Is it just your long-ard ape clan?"
While asking, Li Yunjing constantly recalled the contents of the Shenxiao Jade Scroll in his mind, seeking information about Yiquan Recluse.
But the records from seven thousand years ago were not even noted in the Shenxiao Jade Scroll!
This made Li Yunjing quite distressed!
Unable to find the information, he could only listen to the long-ard ape’s claims, unable to distinguish truth from falsehood.
"Of course, there are other demon beasts too, but their fate is similar to my long-ard ape clan. Wasted away for over seven thousand years, those clans were not as lucky as my long-ard ape clan, still managing to survive one."
Speaking of this, the long-ard ape’s mouth revealed a self-mocking smile.
"Alas!"
Li Yunjing sighed pretentiously, seeming to sympathize deeply with the plight of these demon races.
In reality, Li Yunjing’s heart was not moved at all.
If these demon races truly rested and reproduced over seven thousand years, growing into huge clans, it would be an enormous disaster for the human race!
Right now, Li Yunjing’s mind had only one thought, "Heaven bless the human race!"
"Alright! What you should know, you already know. Will you help escape? Once I’m out, you can gain great benefits and those people behind can no longer threaten you."
The long-ard ape continued.
"Okay! That’s no problem!"
Li Yunjing nodded, but didn’t act, instead continued asking, "Senior, the chains on your body?"
"These chains are nothing! They can seal my own blood and energy, preventing the waste of life force in this damned place!"
As he spoke, the long-ard ape grabbed, and the iron chains locked on his limbs were pulled away, hanging on his body.
"Goodness! These iron chains have instead beco this demon king’s magical treasure!"
Li Yunjing nodded and smiled, "Saving senior is no problem! Now, please make a Heavenly Dao oath! First, don’t repay kindness with vengeance, don’t harm ; second, help get everything in the study; third, if the two subsequent groups target , you must protect my safety!"
"Hmm?"
Hearing Li Yunjing’s three demands, the long-ard ape’s face turned extrely sour. Initially, it thought it could use Li Yunjing to open the cage, then casually crush this insignificant person and eat so blood food for a treat.
Unexpectedly, this ant was extrely cunning, thinking of ways to counter itself.
Heavenly Dao oath!
Such a terrifying oath!
Especially since the long-ard ape’s cultivation was already at Golden Core Realm Eighth Heaven, with a high chance of advancing to Nascent Soul Realm and living another thousand years!
A Heavenly Dao oath absolutely cannot be violated, otherwise, the long-ard ape would almost certainly not smoothly advance to Nascent Soul Realm!
This made it extrely uncomfortable!
"Fine! I agree! I’ll swear now!"
Seeing Li Yunjing’s firm expression, unwilling to save him without a vow, the long-ard ape had no choice but to agree to the oath.
The long-ard ape didn’t play any tricks, knowing Li Yunjing was tough to deal with, so it could only honestly follow Li Yunjing’s demands and make the Heavenly Dao oath.
"Great! Senior! You can guide on unlocking now!"
After listening to the oath, Li Yunjing’s face showed a smile, quickly following the ape’s guidance, using a particular sequence to infuse mana into Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang as the long-ard ape specified.
"Click..."
Sure enough, this ti, the door lock opened.
After the gate opened, the long-ard ape had already walked out from behind the gate.
"Congratulations, senior, on your escape, with a brilliant future ahead!"
Li Yunjing smiled and made a respectful gesture towards the long-ard ape.
"Hmm! Let’s go! I’ll first help you retrieve the things inside the study!"
Looking at Li Yunjing’s annoying smile, the long-ard ape felt extrely disgusted, now it only wanted to fulfill the Heavenly Dao oath and stay far away from this annoying human.
"Great! Thank you, senior!"
Li Yunjing was elated, following the long-ard ape back to the study in the second courtyard.
