Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao-Chapter 435 208 Elephant Mountain

```

Lu Yu looked at the two people in confusion and asked, "They've all gone to pick Spirit Grass, why didn't you go?"

"What I'm seeking is not these things," the Ghost Scholar said succinctly.

For him, this life-and-death experience had been invaluable; the bottleneck that had troubled him for years was finally broken through, and after witnessing the strength of Lu Yu and the three demons, he felt a profound admiration that would be greatly beneficial for his future cultivation.

"What I'm looking for isn't here," the old beggar said softly.

"Oh? What precious item are you looking for?" Lu Yu's interest was piqued.

"The Holy Elephant Essence Blood, which can be used to make life-extending pills."

"You look aged, but your vitality is strong, and your soul is lively. Preparing Life-Extended Pills now seems a bit premature," Lu Yu said with a smile.

"It's not for me." The old beggar glanced softly at the Golden Granny, who was playing with two little ones nearby, his eyes filled with tenderness.

In that moment, Lu Yu seemed to understand something. He looked at the Golden Snake Granny and realized she had indeed begun to weaken, and perhaps would not be long before her light extinguished.

Yet the Golden Snake Granny, oblivious to all this, watched the playing children with a heart full of joy, her face reflecting a gentle expression so at odds with her reputation in the Cultivation Realm.

Maybe close to death, her heart had softened considerably. She found great joy in seeing children, having always liked them. She had even dreamed of marrying the one she loved and having children. Unfortunately, fate had been unkind, and the two never ended up together, leaving her alone for many years.

Now, having survived life-and-death ordeals and resolved longstanding emotional burdens, she no longer harboured those past desires. Watching the frolicking children filled her with joy, so during this time, she kept their company, making up for the familial joy she had never experienced.

"It's just unfortunate that till now, there's still no sign of the Essence Blood, and I'm even beginning to doubt whether the Holy Elephant left any behind after its death," the old beggar sighed regretfully.

In reality, he was well aware that something as valuable as the Holy Elephant's Essence Blood was exceedingly rare, and it was normal not to find it.

"I indeed don't have the Holy Elephant Essence Blood, but there's more than one way to extend life," Lu Yu said gently.

His words were soft but struck the old beggar like thunder. He looked up at Lu Yu, eagerly hoping to hear the explanation that followed.

"The path to immortality is far beyond what you see. To not speak of the distant, if you wish, my father now serves in the Nether Dragon Court and can protect Lost Souls from the suffering of Reincarnation. Moreover, my master's uncle once obtained Peaches of Immortality from the heavens. The peach pits took root and sprouted in his cave dwelling and after many years bore fruit, which also has the effect of enhancing longevity and extending life."

"I see that although her life force is declining, her Realm is on the verge of a breakthrough. If assisted by the Peaches of Immortality, she could break through successfully, adding quite a bit to her lifespan unexpectedly," Lu Yu concluded.

These words from Lu Yu gave the old beggar a sense of enlightenment. Both the Peaches of Immortality and the Nether Dragon Court were legendary, and he had never imagined he would hear of them today, let alone imagine the power of Lu Yu's sect.

"Thank you, Immortal Master!" the old beggar sincerely thanked him.

"There's no need for formalities. Your integrity and kindness have caught my attention, and moreover, Golden Snake Granny has taken good care of my two junior brothers these past few days. I've noticed they are quite fond of her. These Peaches of Immortality are items from my abode. To us, they serve merely as a treat to satisfy a craving. If they can fulfill the two, it would also be a meritorious deed," Liu Qingyun said with a smile.

As they conversed, far away in a mountain hollow, Bai Xiang was already painting a new Array. This Array was much simpler than the one that opened this world, but upon careful observation of the patterns, one would realize that the two Arrays stemmed from the same origin, with many details being identical.

"Second brother, what Array is this?" Green Lion asked Bai Xiang, puzzled.

"This Array can still sense our bloodline and search for our kin. Although Holy Elephant has perished, his core must remain intact. It is very likely the pivot of this world, and I plan to use the pull of our bloodline to find it."

"With control over it, we can roam unopposed in this world. Even though the person behind the scenes has bizarre Divine Skills, if I take control of the world, no matter how powerful he is, he won't be able to cause any significant trouble," Bai Xiang declared confidently.

At these words, a look of eager anticipation appeared on Green Lion's face. He had been stifled during this time; as a Demon King who once terrified all around him, this was a great humiliation.

He had been holding back a surge of fury, with nowhere to vent, and now he said with a sinister smile, "When the time comes, I will certainly make these detestable humans pay tenfold."

As time passed, a rather large Array was set up. Bai Xiang smiled faintly, bit his finger, and squeezed out a drop of Essence Blood onto the Array. A bright white light immediately filled the entire Array, and the phantom of a white elephant suddenly appeared above it, sending out a roar that echoed throughout the entire world.

Bai Xiang looked toward the east, feeling a strong pull in his bloodline from that direction, and laughed heartily, "Indeed, it's possible!"

Green Lion also revealed a joyful smile and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go now!"

The three brothers led a grand procession eastward, heading towards their intended destination.

Lu Yu opened his eyes at the mountain peak. Just a moment ago, he felt a clear vibration from the Holy Elephant heart in his hands, knowing it must have been due to Bai Xiang's use of a Secret Technique to locate the core. However, at this moment, the core was nearly refined by him, and when the three demons arrived, he was sure to give them a surprise.

He transmitted a message to Liu Qingyun, instructing them to head towards his direction, while he himself closed his eyes once more, striving to refine the core in his hands before the arrival of the three demons.

The three Demon Lords were very fast, and in a short while, they had already spotted the mountain peak where Lu Yu was. It resembled a giant elephant resting upon the plains, and upon seeing this mountain, Bai Xiang was sure it was their destination, the place where Holy Elephant died.

"Haha, we've finally arrived. Once we get the core, we'll settle things with those guys," Bai Xiang said to his brothers with a laugh.

An icy, murderous intent flashed in the eyes of Green Lion and Dapeng. They had been waiting for this moment for many days, and the humiliations of the past would only be washed away with the blood and lives of their adversaries.

"If my guess is correct, the core should be at the top of this mountain. Once we ascend, we'll be able to take it," Bai Xiang conjectured.

"What are we waiting for then, let's not delay and ascend the mountain," Green Lion urged with a smile, conjuring clouds to rise, but he was suppressed by an immense force, causing the clouds beneath his feet to instantly dissipate.
