Chapter Nineteenth: The Ape King Yuan Breaks Through the Sky
In the eastern part of the Desolate Continent, on a mountain, this spiritual mountain is called Mount Tai. It is a well-known spiritual mountain in the Desolate Continent and was transformed from Pangu's skull. There are dozens of pre-heavenly spiritual veins on this mountain range, and those small pre-heavenly spiritual veins are countless. Therefore, the pre-heavenly spiritual energy here can be said to be abundant and overflowing like water.
On the top of this mountain, there is a peak with a towering pine tree thousands of feet tall. This pine tree is obviously not ordinary, as each branch and leaf only grows five needles. Among the leaves, there are even pine cones. If Shi Zhong were here, he would definitely recognize that this pine tree is one of the top ten extreme products of the pre-heavenly spiritual roots - the Five-Needle Pine. If you look closely, you can discover that this extreme product of the pre-heavenly spiritual root has already produced spiritual intelligence, but it's still very weak and doesn't even match a child's wisdom. It's likely that even a small demon in the earthly immortal period could deal with this extreme product of the pre-heavenly spiritual root.
But what we want to talk about now is not this extraordinary congenital spiritual root five-needle pine, but the people under the five-needle pine. From a distance, if you don't look carefully, it's really hard to see clearly, probably because the five-needle pine is too dazzling!
His face was handsome, with a youthful appearance of twenty-five or six years old. His long hair fluttered in the wind, and from all these, it could be seen that this man was extraordinary. At this time, the young man opened his eyes and muttered to himself, "Ah! I've been in this world for hundreds of millions of years too. I wonder if my parents are still well?" As he spoke, a nostalgic expression appeared on his face, but in an instant, his face turned into a hateful scowl as he said, "Tianxuan Sect, humph! Sooner or later, I will return to take revenge, you wait and see!"
It turned out that this person was actually the Ape King, also known as Yuan Potian, the master of the Shenwu Sect. This person was not from the Pangu Honghuang world, but rather a soul from another Dacheng world who had transmigrated to the Honghuang world. Potian was originally a member of a small martial arts family in the Saintly Martial World, a Dacheng world, and at that time, he only had the cultivation of a Wuxian, equivalent to the Earth Immortal stage. The cultivation system in this Saintly Martial World was mainly based on martial arts, and the cultivators within it were even more fanatical.
It's almost as if the future is bright or not, just depends on whether you have the qualifications to cultivate martial arts. Moreover, this Holy Martial World has already experienced countless hardships and has not yet evolved into a Great World, so the cultivation environment of this Holy Martial World is unknown how many times worse than the current Desolate World, even decent acquired spiritual veins will have disputes over them, let alone large-scale acquired spiritual veins.
Those large-scale acquired spiritual veins are basically held by those super martial arts families or super sects. Some medium and small martial arts families can only earn some spirit stones through business methods or cultivate by gathering the thin spiritual energy in the air with an array. Therefore, in the Holy Martial World, cultivating martial arts is very important for one's cultivation aptitude. A good cultivation aptitude of a family's children is the main basis for a family's rise. And like the innate spiritual veins in the current Desolate World, it was something that Yuan Hua Tian could only encounter in his dreams during the Holy Martial World era.
At the time of Saint Martial World, Yuan Potian's family discovered a medium-sized spiritual vein in their own mountain range. The whole family saw the hope of the family's rise. However, at this time, due to the appearance of a traitor in the family, the news was told to the Tianxuan Sect, a large sect that was also one of the stronger sects at the time. Although it cannot be compared with some super sects and super families, it still has a lot of say in the entire cultivation world, especially in the territory where Yuan Potian's family is located.
But it was precisely because of this medium-sized spiritual vein that the so-called prestigious sects took action against the Yuan family. Moreover, it was a sneak attack, and they were wiped out overnight. Fortunately, at that time, Yuan Potian and his parents were not in the family but were taking care of the family business elsewhere, so they did not suffer from the disaster. However, this is not the end. After Tianxuan Sect knew that there were still people surviving in the Yuan family, they feared that the descendants of the Yuan family would take revenge on Tianxuan Sect, so they sent people to hunt down Yuan Potian and his father and son.
At that time, Yuan Potian and the other two people separated in order to gain a higher survival rate. However, who would have thought that Yuan Potian was still caught up with in the end? In the end, Yuan Potian had no way out and self-destructed his primordial spirit, killing those Tianxuan Sect disciples who were chasing him. Of course, Yuan Potian also made a glorious sacrifice.
Who knows, Yuan Potian woke up to find himself transformed into a monkey. From the original monkey's memories, he learned that he had arrived in a place called Pangu World during the Primordial Era. The monkey was originally named Hunshi Hou, a high-ranking innate demon god. When Hou broke through to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm without a systematic cultivation method, he hastily attempted to break through and ended up suffering from demonic possession, resulting in his primordial spirit's death. Such situations were not uncommon in the current Primordial World. Just then, Yuan Potian's primordial spirit somehow took over the monkey's physical body and inherited its memories and cultivation.
Yuan Potian then began to cultivate with the body of a great ape, and it's worth noting that this Great Ape is an upper-ranking Primordial Demon God. Its innate talent for cultivation can be imagined, and Yuan Potian also had the benefits of being a space-traveler, albeit only a spatial one. As for the cultivation method itself...
When others were still looking for a way to cultivate, Yuan Potian already had a relatively systematic cultivation method. He had several sets of methods that could be cultivated to the realm of Wu Zun, which is also known as Da Luo Jinxian. Moreover, Yuan Potian also had a family heirloom method called "Wu Po Cangqiong". It was said that if one could cultivate it to the extreme, they could break through to the realm of Wu Sheng, which is equivalent to Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian.
It was only in the Shengwu world that no one had ever cultivated it, not even the most basic ones. So, at that time, Yuan Potian still thought that his family's inherited technique, the Family Technique of the Saint Level, was real. Otherwise, how could he not even cultivate the most basic starting point? Even some super families or super sects knew that the Yuan family had a fake saint-level technique.
After all, a cultivation method like the Sacred Grade is a treasure of the highest level even among those superpowers! Let alone your Yuan family, which is just a small family with only a Martial Emperor-level cultivation as its family head. Can you even keep such a Sacred Grade cultivation method safe? So when it was revealed that the Yuan family had a Sacred Grade cultivation method, superpowers came to forcefully seize it, but they couldn't cultivate it successfully. Not even the Yuan family's own descendants could succeed in cultivating it. After everyone knew this, no one paid attention to this cultivation method anymore. And the Yuan family's Sacred Grade cultivation method became a laughingstock.
However, after Yuan Potian became a Mixed World Ape, he went to cultivate the "Martial Broken Sky" and immediately found that his cultivation was extremely smooth. Without using much time, Yuan Potian broke through the Martial Emperor realm, which is equivalent to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Only then did Yuan Potian realize that the sacred-level technique passed down by his family was real. However, it's not something that ordinary people can cultivate successfully. One must have a pre-heavenly physique or above to cultivate it successfully. Pre-heavenly physiques are everywhere in the current Desolate World, but they are almost non-existent in the Sacred Martial World. Even the most basic pre-heavenly spiritual body is hard to find, let alone super-strong physiques like the pre-heavenly demon god body.
To become a congenital spiritual body, apart from being born with sufficient congenital spiritual energy in a world like Pangu's desolate world, there are also those that naturally form in the mother's womb. If it is intentionally created, it goes against the will of the Tao and cannot achieve the congenital spiritual body. Therefore, it is really difficult for cultivators who want to find congenital spiritual bodies, especially in a world like Shengwu that has gone through countless great calamities, making even congenital spiritual veins become legendary. The difficulty is truly unimaginable for ordinary people!
Yuan Potian finally broke through to the mid-term of the Martial God realm after hundreds of millions of years, which is equivalent to the mid-term of the Law Boundary. A long spear made entirely from the essence of stars reached the top-grade acquired treasure level. For a martial artist who excels in close combat, even if facing a late-stage Law Boundary strongman, Yuan Potian would still have confidence in victory.
To say that the starlight essence is not an ordinary thing, it is a precious refining material condensed from the essence of the stars. As long as a small amount of starlight essence is added during the refinement process, it can increase the weight of the artifact by tens of thousands of pounds. However, when the owner holds the artifact, it feels as light as if there was no increase in weight. Moreover, he organized his own Monkey Clan and turned them into one of the most powerful forces in the vast wilderness world. He also created a major force in the vast wilderness, the Shenwu Sect. So, to say that Yuan Potian's life is truly filled with legendary colors.
Yuan Po Tian sat under the Five Needle Pine, muttering to himself, "Alas, breaking through to the later stages of the Martial God Realm is really not easy! After tens of thousands of years, there's still no sign of any effect. It seems that cultivation isn't just about innate talent and comprehension... it also requires opportunities! Looks like I can only leave the Great Wilderness to search for my own opportunities."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Potian shouted towards the outside mountain below, "Yuan Tian, Yuan Di, where are you?" As soon as Yuan Potian's voice fell, two people appeared in front of him.
They were all in their thirties or forties, wearing armor and exuding an irresistible aura of majesty. Judging from their cultivation, both of them had reached the early stages of Martial God Realm. In the current Desolate World, they could be considered as overlords. After all, strong practitioners at the level of Law Domain were not many in the Desolate World.
As long as you are a cultivator of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Peak, as long as you don't go out of your way to provoke others, others won't easily come looking for trouble with you. After all, if one wants to cultivate to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal, it's not something that can be achieved by just going through the motions. Moreover, for such a powerful cultivator like yourself, there is still a long time to go, who would want to risk their life?
Two monks stood respectfully in front of Yuan Potian, and after shouting "See the king" respectfully, they immediately asked, "May I ask what important matter does the king have for us two?" Yuan Tian and Yuan Di knew that only when the king had an important matter would he call them, as they were the strongest monks in the entire Ape tribe, second only to the king. Although there were many strongmen like Daluo Jinxian in the Ape tribe, those who reached the realm of the law were only three people. This shows how difficult it is to achieve the realm of the law. This has become the most difficult threshold for all monks to pass.
Yuan Potian looked at the two cultivators with great satisfaction. In his eyes, Yuan Tian and the other were truly considering the interests of the entire Ape tribe. "My current cultivation has reached a bottleneck, and if I continue like this, I'm afraid I'll never be able to break through. So, I want to go alone to the Desolate World to find opportunities for breakthroughs. I came to tell you just to let you know, so that you can manage the tribe and sect in the future."
Yuan Tian and the other two didn't stop him after hearing Yuan Po Tian's words. After all, they knew their own king's abilities, and someone like Yuan Po Tian who could defeat their king was basically non-existent in the entire Hong Huang world. Even the current mighty Ancestral Dragon only had late-stage Law cultivation, while their king had mid-stage Law cultivation, but it wasn't impossible for a martial artist to challenge someone above their level.
Then both of them said "Obey the king's order" at the same time, and after finishing speaking, they only heard Yuan Potian's response with a single "En", and then they didn't see Yuan Potian's figure anymore. The two felt that their own cultivation in the law had become even more profound.
