Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The white ape finally got to eat the peach and there was an indescribable wonderful taste lingering in its heart which made it feel great satisfaction. It felt that its entire body was almost weightless and there was smoke surrounding it. In the end, it felt a slight heaviness which helped him regain his consciousness.

When it was awake, it looked around and found itself situated in a flowing river. The river water was washing its ape body non-stop which made it feel super heavy. At the upper stream of the river, there was an extremely huge lotus flower floating at the direction of the water flow. There was an elegant lady sitting on it and a red mark could be seen between her eyebrows. She was holding a delicate lotus stalk.

Suddenly, a good-looking lady came right in front of the white ape, she scoffed and said, “You’re an idiot. You didn’t even realize that you were being followed.”

The white ape was a little terrified of this lady. It said, “I used my Dharma empowered eyes to look, there wasn’t anybody following me.”

The lady scoffed, “That guy had cultivated the Free Form Carnation before. If he wants to, you won’t even realize if he’s right in front of you. Moreover, what’s the use of your Dharma empowered eyes with your insignificant attainment?”

After being criticised by the lady, the white ape could not contain its anger anymore, it said, “If it wasn’t you, how’d I mess with him? And since you’re so clear about it, why didn’t you tell inform me earlier that he’s so powerful? He’s almost as good as the old monk in the past.”

The lady said, “I only told you to take the little girl away but you purposely wanted to tease Asura’s disciple. Otherwise, you’d be able to reach the safe place long ago and you wouldn’t be caught.”

The white ape said, “The Asura sword was exactly the greatest obstacle for the old monk to attain Dao. So I definitely want to know more details about the Asura sword. If you had informed earlier about this, I wouldn’t even attempt to do so. Now, what should we do? I’m safe now because I’ve entered your illusory world but if I go out there, I definitely can’t defeat him.”

It showed a rascal face, thinking of the treasure it could get from this lady this time.

“You don’t have to be afraid of him. He has the demon method from the Master of Sky Demon, the sword will from the Master of Netherworld, Qi of Dao from Lingbao Tianzun. You’ve not recovered the memory you lost in your past life and thus you’re not aware of the capability of these few people. I’m very clear that all these are ruthless people. I think he’s going to die sooner or later. Only the old monk thinks that this person is the key to him attaining Dao and thus he wanted to use every possible way to please him but this guy didn’t even acknowledge it,” the lady said.

The white ape said, “Even if he’s going to die, that’d be in the future. Now you’d have to think of ways to help me to get through this crisis. Otherwise, I know where your true body is at.”

“If I didn’t want to save you, why would I cast this spell to let you be into this illusory world? Actually, I’ve already hinted you today, if you can’t get rid of your habit of eating peaches, you’d be involved in a tragedy sooner or later,” the lady said.

The white ape said, “My tragedy is already right here, faster, tell me what I should do.”

The lady scoffed and thought, animals would always be animals. Even if they had learned about Dharma, they would not be able to get the enlightenment. If it was not because she had karma incrimination with this white ape in her past life, she would have already abandoned it.

Then, the girl said slowly, “When your spirit is back to its position, you should just travel towards the north direction. You should stop when you see a river. By then, you’d see someone rowing a boat by the riverside. Do not ask anything and just get onto the boat, it’ll keep you safe and sound.”

The white ape said, “You should still give me a treasure item for self-defense or else I’d still be scared.”

“You’re so noisy,” the lady made a ‘hmph’ sound and the white ape was awake all of a sudden.

It felt that a long time had passed but in actual fact, not even a blink of an eye had passed. Since he knew that Shen Lian was coming after it, it definitely did not dare to stop. Hence, it turned into a hawk once again and went soaring into the sky.

When the white ape flew to the rim of the sky, Shen Lian’s shadow presented on the peach tree. He was muttering to himself. It seemed a little strange to him as he had witnessed everything including this white ape which stopped halfway to eat the peach. Logically speaking, it must have thought that it had managed to escape from him and thus, it had the courage to stop. However, why did it flew away hurriedly after eating only one peach?

Shen Lian thought to himself but he felt that the rim of the sky looked blurry and he could not see clearly at all. This had made him be on the guard. He was not rushing to catch up with the ape and hence, he opened his mouth to spurt out the True Samadhi Fire which burned this peach tree into ashes. He had actually felt an odd spatial fluctuation. He was already well-prepared beforehand; his sword aura was going after it.

The void seemed to have an intangible black hole which had directly engulfed the sword aura and then it disappeared.

Shen Lian looked surprised, “I knew something fishy is going on.”

“What an alert brat. Unfortunately, you not only can’t catch the ape but you also can’t find me,” there was someone of unsure gender descending in the void, whereby his or her origin was unknown.

Shen Lian was secretly astonished but he looked casual on the outside. He said, “If I only have such few techniques, it’s impossible for me to live up till today. Are you trying to delay on me, you’re picking on the wrong person.”

Heavenly music was playing endlessly all around him. There was an auspicious light ray in the void and then, there were many faintly visible, graceful heavenly ladies. Their holiness, beauty and attractive figures were constantly alluring one’s desire.

However, Shen Lian was not attracted to it at all. He remained calm in the midst of this situation by making up a formula which was summoning of wind and rain. Instantaneously, the wind and rain were pouring and the heavenly music along with the attractive heavenly ladies vanished into thin air.

Doing this had already wasted a total of three breaths of Shen Lian’s time.

The white ape had already traveled a long distance and it really came to a small stream. There was no reflection of sunlight and clouds on the surface of the stream, it was very quiet.

A dull and surreptitious vital force emitted from the water. There was a bottomless boat which silently appeared by the riverbank. On the boat sat a man dressed in white and he was holding a white flag.

When the white ape was about to jump onto the boat which was initially very close to it, suddenly, there seemed to be thousands of mountains and ten thousands of rivers in the middle. It was too far for the ape to cross over to the boat. After two or three breaths had passed, someone said, “Where do you think you are running to?”

The white ape screeched and said, “That b*tch tricked me.”

From far away, Shen Lian had shrunk the ground into inches to come right in front of the ape. It was obvious that the hidden person did not want to reveal who she was and she managed to only stop Shen Lian for three breaths. Under normal circumstances, the white ape should have already gotten on to the bottomless boat in front. Unfortunately, Shen Lian had witnessed the supernatural power of Heng’e to create the Milky Way and also the Buddhist Kingdom on the Palm technique performed by the monk at the Blood Sea. With his talent, he could somehow imitate something similar.

Although this technique was not comparable to the genuine Buddhist Kingdom on the Palm technique which could create a small world, there was at least some imprisonment effect.

The white ape felt that its entire body was weakening as it watched Shen Lian walking towards it. Regardless of how world-shaking it could have been in its past life, the fact is that it could not defeat Shen Lian. Although its cultivation experience in past life was profound and that it had already achieved the inextinguishable divine aura which enabled it to not completely vanish into ashes and smoke, after going through reincarnation, it would not be the same from its past life anymore.

Though enlightened monks with great morality would not be concerned about this, the white ape was worried about it. Thus, for this, it did not only hate Shen Lian but also the lady. Even if its brain was not working that well, it clearly knew that if it was not because the lady purposely withheld some information, this would definitely not be the ending now.

The white ape was filled with so much dissatisfaction and hatred that there was a foul Qi contained in it. Suddenly, it transformed into a gigantic ape whereby its head could already touch the sky. Its eyes were like the lanterns and its mouth was so fierce-looking. Countless of Qi of vitality came together in its hand and formed a spiritual stick which seemed to be able to pierce through the heaven and earth by just a wave.

The spread of this terrifying vital force in the Netherworld had alarmed many people.
