Chapter 1856: Chapter 1856: Demi Immortal Spirit Ape
Ye Wui’s sadness seed to infect Yan Muyu. The little girl frowned, looking dejected and worried.
Seeing her expression, looking like a little adult, Xuan Feng Venerable couldn’t help but want to laugh. But knowing that if he laughed, the little girl would definitely get angry, he forcibly held it in.
“When things are settled here, I’ll accompany both of you to find Fang Bai. I have so friends who have traveled across many regions of the Three Thousand Worlds. They are well-inford and might have good news.”
Seeing Ye Wui and Yan Muyu, imrsed in sadness, Xuan Feng Venerable spoke up to console them.
Ye Wui and Yan Muyu ca to the Blood Sea Desert’s Ancient Battlefield Ruins mainly hoping that the gathering of many experts could help them find news about Fang Bai. They were not genuinely interested in the legendary Immortal Relics said to be here.
But Xuan Feng Venerable had already said that after the affairs here were settled, he would accompany them to find Fang Bai. So, they could only temporarily follow Xuan Feng Venerable without daring to stray for fear that the Green Lotus Heretic Venerable might suddenly appear and abduct Ye Wui.
Ye Wui and Yan Muyu recalled the harsh words left by the Green Lotus Heretic Venerable before leaving and were still frightened, their eyes surveying the surroundings from ti to ti.
“Sister Wui, I haven’t seen that big bad guy; could he have already left?”
Yan Muyu whispered to Ye Wui joyfully.
“Little girl, you mustn’t have such thoughts, or it will be very dangerous!”
Before Ye Wui could respond, she heard Xuan Feng Venerable say sternly, “The Green Lotus Heretic Venerable is a dignified Thunder Tribulation Ninefold Expert. If he wants to watch you, you definitely won’t even find a trace of him. Otherwise, it would be too much of a failure! Even I can only sense a faint aura of his, making know that he hasn’t gone far. But as to where exactly he is hiding, I can’t guess, so I must remain highly vigilant!”
Yan Muyu was startled, stuck out her tongue, and didn’t dare to look around randomly anymore. She clung to Ye Wui’s hand, approaching Xuan Feng Venerable a bit more, feeling safer this way.
“That’s the skeleton of a Spirit Ape! Let’s go take a look!”
The three of them hadn’t walked far when they saw a giant Spirit Ape skeleton standing in front on top of a dune, over two zhangs tall.
The dune more than a zhang tall had already subrged its two leg bones.
From the bone patterns on the skeleton and the faint pressure it emitted, it could be deduced that its strength in life was comparable to that of a human Thunder Tribulation Ninefold Expert, extrely powerful.
The Spirit Ape’s left hand tightly held a Darkgold Iron Cudgel, longer than its body, with the lower end resting on the ground, supporting the ape’s body upright.
The Darkgold Iron Cudgel was as thick as an adult’s arm, and despite being eroded by millennium upon millennium, the cudgel’s body remained intact. When the wind blew away a layer of bloody sand from its surface, the cudgel emitted a mysterious dark glow as if it could capture one’s soul, causing one’s heart to tremble.
Xuan Feng Venerable stopped with Ye Wui and Yan Muyu a hundred zhang away from the Spirit Ape’s skeleton, not daring to go any closer.
“A Spirit Ape powerful as a human’s Thunder Tribulation Ninefold Expert is stronger than a human expert of the sa realm, nearly capable of battling a Demi Immortal expert. To think it fell here… Could it be that the legendary ancient great war involved Immortals? Unbelievable!”
Xuan Feng Venerable marveled at the Spirit Ape’s skeleton, murmuring to himself.
“That Darkgold Iron Cudgel is astonishing, weighing at least three thousand jin! To use such a cudgel as a Spiritual Artifact shows that the Spirit Ape in life must have been born with Divine Power!”
Xuan Feng Venerable’s gaze fell on the Darkgold Iron Cudgel held by the Spirit Ape, exclaiming in amazent.
Ye Wui and Yan Muyu were stunned. They could hardly imagine how one could wield a Spiritual Artifact weighing three thousand jin.
Even if they could lift it, how could one wield it freely to defeat enemies?
“A Spirit Ape capable of battling Demi Immortal experts is a rare sight!”
“The Spirit Ape’s skeleton appears undamaged; how did it fall?”
“Perhaps its Qi Sea was instantly destroyed, leading to its demise!”
“Who could kill it but a true Immortal?”
“In legends of ancient tis, the barriers between realms weren’t as strict as they are now. So powerful Immortals could break the rules of heaven and earth and descend into the Three Thousand Worlds.”
“…”
The gathered many experts were all drooling over the iron cudgel in the ape’s hand, knowing its power must exceed that of ordinary Royal Grade Superior Spiritual Artifacts, incredibly powerful.
At the sa ti, they all understood that a Spiritual Artifact used by a Spirit Ape possessing Demi Immortal combat power in its life wasn’t sothing an ordinary Thunder Tribulation expert could covet.
Therefore, despite thousands upon thousands of Thunder Tribulation experts gathering around the Spirit Ape’s skeleton, with more arriving, no one dared to easily approach, only comnting from a distance and whispering.
“Ah! It’s that big bad guy; I see him!”
As Yan Muyu’s gaze wandered, she saw not far away in the crowd a short, thin, ugly old man with glowing eyes looking at the Spirit Ape’s skeleton, a greedy look on his face, constantly rubbing his hands—who could it be but the Green Lotus Heretic Venerable?
Xuan Feng Venerable snorted, sneering, “Old Man Qinglian, so greedy, upon seeing that Darkgold Iron Cudgel, must want to claim it for himself again. But this ti, it’s not going to be easy for him to get that cudgel!”
He pointed toward a distant crowd, whispering, “Besides and Old Man Qinglian, there are several other Thunder Tribulation Ninefold Experts eyeing that Darkgold Iron Cudgel. And those experts mostly have grudges with Old Man Qinglian; they won’t sit idly by and let him take the cudgel! Wait and see, around this Spirit Ape’s skeleton, there will be a great battle!”
Yan Muyu said, “Grandpa…”
Xuan Feng Venerable said, “Stop, stop, stop! Little girl, can you not call grandpa? It makes feel as if I’m already on my deathbed! Sigh, I have nearly a thousand years of lifespan, and I’m only halfway through it now!”
Yan Muyu made an “Oh” sound, saying, “Old… then how should I address you? Can I call you uncle?”
Xuan Feng Venerable quickly said, “No, no, no! Uncle sounds too young. If you call that, I’ll feel embarrassed! Hmm, just call Xuan Feng Venerable! Right, what were you trying to say just now?”
Yan Muyu said, “I wanted to say… are you planning to make a move and compete for that cudgel?”
Xuan Feng Venerable said, “Of course! A Spiritual Artifact used by a Demi Immortal expert is tempting to think about; missing it would be a sin!”
Yan Muyu said, “But if you go to fight for the cudgel, what about Sister Wui and ? What if soone takes the opportunity to bully us?”
“This…”
Xuan Feng Venerable scratched his head, saying, “I hadn’t thought of that… what to do? Hmm, let think…”
