The Transmigrator’s Cultivation

Sponsored chapter (8/10)

The cub was engrossed in his own activities when he suddenly noticed a rolling peach and immediately leaped toward it.

Wild peaches often ripened and fell from the tree, catching the attention of the giant apes, albeit momentarily. The cub excitedly chased after one peach, picked it up, and devoured it. However, another peach fell right in front of him.

Engaged in this chasing game, he reached a cluster of hanging branches and playfully rolled around with his bottom up.

Nian Hongzhi seized the opportunity, landing silently and swiftly placing the giant ape cub into his storage bag. He then climbed the tree with agility and hurriedly retreated in the direction he came from.

Success!

The giant ape below remained oblivious to the situation as Nian Hongzhi made his escape. Taking advantage of a magic amulet, he covered several miles in just a few breaths.

After reaching a mountain, he halted and released the cub from the storage bag.

Although it hadn’t been inside for long, living creatures couldn’t endure being stored, and the ape cub was already in a weakened state. Nian Hongzhi restrained it, drew his Feifei sword, and swiftly ended its life with a single stroke. Blood gushed out as the cub died without making a sound.

Relieved, Nian Hongzhi proceeded to open the ape cub’s chest, extracting its heart and squeezing out the essence and blood into a small bottle. He carefully placed it inside his storage bag. Then, using a blasting flame talisman, he obliterated the young corpse into pieces. He sighed inwardly, regretting that he hadn’t obtained any wood attribute magic weapons or talismans, which would have been more fitting to send the ape cub on its final journey.

With everything completed, Nian Hongzhi composed himself and flew back using Yufeng.

In the valley,

The King Kong Giant Ape returned leading a group of companions, carrying several bloody prey. Upon tossing them down, a rumbling sound echoed through the air.

The scent of blood filled the surroundings, capturing the attention of the little cubs who abandoned their play and eagerly rushed over, mouths watering.

More than a dozen cubs surrounded a two-headed wild horse, tearing into it with both their mouths and claws, reveling in the blood. The adult apes patiently waited on the sidelines, showing no urgency to eat.

The King Kong Giant Ape glanced at the cubs, a ferocious smile on its face. However, after a while, its expression suddenly changed, and a hoarse voice escaped its throat, “Where is Yuan Nineteen?”

Several cubs raised their heads and hissed in response.

The King Kong Giant Ape inquired further, asking the remaining Tin Giant Ape if they had seen Yuan Nineteen. The response was that the ape went to pick up a fallen wild peach from a tree but hadn’t been seen since, so they assumed it was hiding and playing alone.

The valley was quite vast, with cubs often leaping around and hiding, so it wasn’t a cause for major concern. However, the King Kong Giant Ape couldn’t shake off the uneasy feeling in its heart.

Having cultivated for thousands of years, the King Kong Giant Ape had only fathered a single son ten years ago, and it cared for and cherished him deeply. With Yuan Nineteen’s sudden disappearance, the King Kong Giant Ape couldn’t find peace.

Driven by its instinct, its emotions grew tumultuous, and the sense of foreboding intensified. It swiftly commanded, “Take ten capable individuals and come with me to find him!” Ten iron-skinned giant apes promptly emerged and followed the King Kong Giant Ape, skillfully climbing up the cliff and vanishing in a matter of moments.

Leading the way, the King Kong Giant Ape relied on its intuition.

After crossing a mountain, its uneasiness intensified, and it detected a trace of blood in the air.

This blood… it carried the distinct scent of their giant apes!

Increasing its jumping speed, the King Kong Giant Ape’s heart churned, wishing it had two more legs.

The scent of blood grew stronger and stronger until it finally came to a halt on a hillside. As it lifted its bloodshot eyes, the corner of its eye split open in horror!

Not far away, amidst the grass, lay the torn-apart corpse of a giant ape cub. The bright red ape’s blood had yet to dry, and its extracted heart lay nearby, a sight that left the King Kong Giant Ape in agonizing despair.

It had long awaited the return of its one and only son for hundreds of years!

The King Kong Giant Ape emitted a long, piercing cry, its massive body descending like a colossal rock, crashing down forcefully. It landed before the shattered corpse and gently lifted the body of its young son, its eyes ablaze with red fury.

Soon after, a violent demonic aura surged uncontrollably. “Damn, you, Cultivators! I will make you pay for my son—”

Upon the ape’s body, a faint trace remained, distinguishable even beneath the fiery aura of the talisman. Yes, it belonged to the aura of Cultivators.

Xu Ziqing sat cross-legged on the grass in the Shangyan Ridge. The area was abundant with trees, radiating strong wood energy. Even without practicing meditation, he felt a soothing comfort throughout his body.

Wang Yingwu and several other Wang Family Xianxiu gathered together, remaining vigilant of their surroundings.

Nian Hongzhi and Wang Jun had been gone for half an hour, which felt quite long.

However, Wang Yingwu’s hopeful anticipation helped him endure the wait with less impatience.

Suddenly, Xu Ziqing opened his eyes. “They’re here!”

The ashes he released had brought news of the two brothers. Now, the spiritual power of the immortal cultivators returned, mingled with some monster energy, and they were less than half a mile away from their location.

Wang Yingwu swiftly rose to his feet, a flickering light in his palm as he tightly gripped Ruyi.

The other monks also prepared themselves, ready to strike.

Xu Ziqing spoke again. “There are five first-rank monsters among them.”

Hearing this, Wang Yingwu felt a surge of pride in his heart. “Let them come!”

Observing Wang Yingwu’s renewed determination, Wang Xing felt relieved and said, “Young Master, unleash your fighting spirit. I won’t let any monster escape!”

As soon as the words left his lips, all the monks caught sight of Wang Jun. He rode on a gust of wind, flying while occasionally glancing back.

Several monsters pursued him, sprinting with their hooves thundering against the ground.

Spotting Wang Yingwu and the others, Wang Jun stepped aside and urged, “Young Master Wang, hurry!”

Wang Yingwu immediately raised his hand and unleashed a strike with Ruyi. Empowered by the first star, he swiftly incapacitated the fastest monster, causing it to stumble.

The remaining monks swiftly encircled the five monsters.

Wang Yingwu confronted one while the other four entangled the others, preventing their escape and ensuring the safety of the man and beast engaged in battle.

Xu Ziqing faced a blood leopard, its body covered in crimson scales and exuding a ghostly aura. It possessed extraordinary speed!

However, it posed no difficulty for him. No matter how fast the blood leopard moved, it was only at the first level. Due to the limitations of his cultivation, its speed was fast, but Xu Ziqing was even faster!

Witnessing a fluttering blue figure, the blood leopard’s attempts to attack were in vain. It flapped, scratched, and bit, but the blue figure constantly flickered and eluded its touch.

Xu Ziqing effortlessly dealt with the situation, while Wang Yingwu engaged in a fierce battle of his own.

Wang Yingwu fought against a red-toothed wolf, a swift creature with razor-sharp teeth and considerable strength. The man and wolf were evenly matched, with the wolf slightly holding the upper hand. However, Wang Yingwu’s experience kept him from falling behind.

Yet, the fight took a bit longer.

After approximately two sticks of incense, Nian Hongzhi returned.

As soon as Wang Jun spotted him, he raised his voice and exclaimed, “Brother is back!”

Nian Hongzhi reported, “Luckily, I managed to avoid those monsters and birds. Those beasts may not be strong, but they have quite the temper.”

It was the first time they returned simultaneously with Wang Jun. All the monks were entangled with a monster, handling the situation with ease. At this moment, they had the opportunity to listen to Nian Hongzhi’s words, nodding in understanding.

Nian Hongzhi pretended to survey his surroundings and then approached Xu Ziqing. He raised his hand and lifted the blood leopard, wearing a smile. “Impressive little fellow, not bad at all!”

Xu Ziqing paused briefly, returning the smile. “Nian Dao Friends, you’ve done well.”

Nian Hongzhi stood shoulder to shoulder with Xu Ziqing, engaging in battle with the Xuelin Leopard. He remarked, “It’s just a simple errand, nothing troublesome!”

Intensely perceptive, the blood leopard grew furious upon witnessing Xu Ziqing and Nian Hongzhi’s casual demeanor. It emitted two low growls from its throat and increased its speed slightly!

Nian Hongzhi appeared to stagger, creating an opening. The blood leopard lashed out, leaving three bloody gashes on his arm.

Xu Ziqing was taken aback. “Fellow Daoist Nian!”

Nian Hongzhi hissed, “This beast!” He continued, “I managed to avoid the monster just now, but this beast scratched me. It’s truly embarrassing.” Xu Ziqing was about to respond when a Fierce Demon Bull suddenly collided with him from the side.

Wang Jun shouted, “Brother, be careful!”

Nian Hongzhi kicked the Xuelin Leopard away and gripped the bull’s horn with his injured arm. He leaped onto the back of the bull, causing the blood from his wound to flow more rapidly.

Wang Jun rushed over and swiftly entangled the Fierce Demon Bull. He apologized, “Fellow Daoist Xu, I’m really sorry. I saw my elder brother injured, and I allowed him to take advantage… Are you alright?” Xu Ziqing shook his head and replied, “It’s nothing.”

Although he was not immune to the Fierce Demon Bull, Nian Hongzhi felt somewhat grateful for Xu Ziqing’s protection.

As they spoke hurriedly, they noticed the blood leopard rolling on the ground, charging towards them once again. Xu Ziqing was about to intervene when a flying sword suddenly stabbed from behind, piercing the Blood Lin Leopard!

Blood splattered everywhere, catching Xu Ziqing off guard and splashing onto his face.

Taken aback, Xu Ziqing heard Nian Hongzhi say, “This beast injured me, so I can’t let it go. I will kill it, and later I’ll lure another one.”

Killed by the Blood Lin Leopard.

Xu Ziqing nodded lightly. The blood leopard had harmed people, and the injured party sought vengeance, so there was nothing more to be said. He raised his sleeve to wipe his face, unaware that Nian Hongzhi was placing a bottle back into his storage bag.

Meanwhile, Wang Jun and Nian Hongzhi exchanged glances, their lips curling up slightly.

They were making good progress.

Though the smell of blood was unpleasant, Xu Ziqing had no intention of changing clothes at that moment. The blood leopard he had been entangled with was dead, and as Nian Hongzhi went to assist Wang Jun without incident, Xu Ziqing leaned against a giant tree, observing the monks’ movements and contemplating in secret.

Before long, Wang Yingwu finally killed the blood leopard. Then, Wang Xing, who was nearest to him, swiftly passed the monster in front of him to Wang Yingwu in a flash.

Wang Yingwu faced the monster, switched to his second star spell, and resumed the battle.

Unbeknownst to him, a few moments later, even though Wang Yingwu occasionally consumed a pill to bolster his strength, his courage grew steadily, devoid of any fear.

Wang Xing felt a deep sense of relief, focusing all his attention on his young master.

At that moment, Xu Ziqing’s eyes turned serious.

With the aid of Ethereal Wood’s spiritual sense, he vaguely sensed a looming danger approaching relentlessly.

His heart skipped a beat, a warning sign that couldn’t be ignored…
