The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 505 - 293: Long-Armed Spiritual Ape

"Eh, what’s this?" The Cold Pond was depleted, yet the yin energy still lingered. Her sharp eyes spotted a small, faintly glowing white stone at the bottom of the pit. Originally concealed beneath the water’s surface, the stone now revealed its true form.

She was no seven- or eight-year-old girl with a habit of touching unknown objects, so she flipped her Tusk Dagger around and prodded the stone gently with the handle.

Dammit, this thing feels soft, and it moves! When pressed by a hard object, it actually trembles slightly.

This is a living thing.

Ning Xiaoxian, suppressing a sense of weirdness, took it into the God Demon Prison. Placed at the bottom of the Cold Pond, an object kept with the Cold Devouring Fish must be extraordinary; she left it to Changtian to study in detail later.

With the task completed, the group returned on the same path. With their considerable gains, their mood was less tense than before, and even Tu Jin’s steps were lighter.

These Cold Devouring Fish, worth at least over a million and a half Power of Living Souls, were enough to elevate his realm straight from the Divinity Transformation Stage to the Late Void Refining Stage—an entire leap in cultivation levels! The method of Soul Cultivation is convenient but, after reaching Divinity Transformation, further advancement becomes increasingly difficult. A Soul Cultivator’s growth requires an enormous quantity of living souls to nurture. After reaching the Mahayana Realm, where tens of millions of Soul Power are needed, where could one possibly find that?

Naturally, Ning Xiaoxian was also happy. Since following Changtian, although Tu Jin had never been overly respectful, he never disobeyed her commands and diligently worked as her Golden Token enforcer, qualifying him as a fitting Prison Director for the God Demon Prison. However, his cultivation method was so unique that not even divine substances like Jade Paste could speed up his cultivation progress. Despite not voicing it, Tu Jin felt frustrated. Yet, if he were to leave to cultivate on his own, who knows how much chaos he would stir up later on.

Being able to temporarily resolve this troublesome matter was certainly a reason for everyone to rejoice.

There’s a saying, "Joy begets sorrow." As they exited the cave, they were far less cautious than when they had entered. So as Tu Jin took the first step out of the cave entrance, a very faint "crack" sound came from beneath his foot.

Though the sound was slight, to the three with divine abilities, it was like thunder. Because before entering the cave, there had certainly been nothing on the ground. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Seemingly faced with an imminent crisis, she felt a sudden alarm. "Not good!" Without hesitation, Ning Xiaoxian grabbed Qi Zai by the neck and darted into the God Demon Prison. It wasn’t that she didn’t wish to save Tu Jin, but rather, he was slightly farther from her and Qi Zai.

Immediately after, a blinding white light streaked past, first flickering in front of Tu Jin, then illuminating the entire cave. Had she not ducked into the God Demon Prison just a step before, she too would have been bathed in the white light. And she didn’t believe it would be a pleasant experience.

In this world, there truly is nothing faster than light. As the white light hit him, Tu Jin, with his rich combat experience, managed to deploy his Vigorous Air Shield, but soon let out a roar filled with pain and anger: "Scoundrel, how dare you!"

He was injured.

But he knew that Ning Xiaoxian and Qi Zai had entered the God Demon Prison. He had to use his large body to block the cave entrance at this moment, preventing anyone from seeing what was behind him. Just as he hesitated, Ning Xiaoxian had already reappeared with Qi Zai, hurriedly transmitting into Tu Jin’s ear: "Get out!"

Without any hesitation, Tu Jin transformed into a beam of green light and charged out, clashing with the attackers outside.

When she and Qi Zai emerged from the cave, they finally saw Tu Jin’s opponent. The man had a face resembling the Duke of Thunder, with arms that reached his knees. When fighting with Tu Jin, he too was bare-chested, throwing wide and mighty punches with powerful force.

Tu Jin, initially injured by the surprise attack from the white light, now had blood flowing from all his facial orifices, presenting a ghastly sight. But he was a ruthless man to begin with, and now his ferocity had been provoked. In the midst of thudding sounds, he fought even more valiantly, his punches landing heavily and seemingly starting to overpower his opponent.

"A Late Wanxiang demon!" Changtian calmly announced the data of the opponent.

She had no concept of one-on-one fairness, especially since the enemy had launched a stealth attack first. With a sharp call "Qi Zai," the Chongming Bird had already swooped into action even before her words finished.

Seeing another enemy approaching, the demon let out an angry roar, suddenly enlarging twofold, revealing his true form, and swung a fist larger than a bowl at Qi Zai’s head.
