478: Chapter 359 478: Chapter 359 Regardless, this disciple couldn’t be controlled, he knew what kind of cultivation skills he had but wouldn’t tell him.
What the Taoist didn’t know was that his disciple, Huang Chen, had long been aware of the power of the Space Blossom and the advantages of using the Magnet Magic Treasure, the Soul Conqueror, to resist the outer space from absorbing his soul power.
His soul had become so strong so quickly that he had learned how to control it.
It was only that he lacked the Cultivation Methods of Ghost Cultivators, with no techniques or spells; nevertheless, increasing his soul power was not challenging for him.
Huang Chen was more intent on strengthening himself quickly to escape this place.
He was aware of some of the laws of space but didn’t inform his master, because he hated this master deeply.
Both master and disciple had their thoughts within the space, with no more thoughts of cooperation, and given the chance, they would destroy each other one day.
The most pitiable were those disciples sent in by the Taoist; their soul power was weakening, and they were frequently bullied and bitten by ghost flames.
It felt like they’d be better off reduced to ashes, certainly better than suffering in this space.
The air also contained soul-nurturing qi, but sadly they didn’t know the methodology of cultivation and couldn’t store soul power, their souls growing weaker by the day, turning into faint mist in the darkness.
Two monkeys cultivated from night until day, always feeling it wasn’t enough, wanting to strengthen their bodily power even more.
They didn’t care whether the outer world’s Magical Treasures changed the heavens; after all, the strongest Demonic Beasts couldn’t attack them, and they had grown confident with their Mana after observing for several days and nights.
Suddenly, there was a change within the space, and a big monkey appeared.
This monkey looked exactly like the two soulful monkeys.
The difference was, this monkey had a body as well as a soul present.
This soul-bearing monkey was extraordinary; it had an Immortal Body and, although it had been suppressed for tens of millions of years, its body had undergone intense cultivation and had crossed the Tribulation already.
Once the seal on its Immortal Body was lifted, had it not entered the Hell Palace and been unable to ascend, it might have stirred up trouble and sought supremacy in the Cultivation World.
The monkey had previously acted like a devil, but Jiang Tang had dealt with it, and now it merely watched everything indifferently within the space.
However, the mere presence of such an Immortal Body, without any action, would draw the attention of others.
It was the time for Ghost Cultivators to cultivate at night; the ghost brothers stood still, watching the newly appeared monkey in front of them, a monkey with a body and a soul standing unimpeded by the spatial sucking force in the darkness.
With the arrival of the monkey, the presence of other life forms was suddenly sensed, and the Demonic Beasts that slept at night began to peek out of their caves.
In just a moment, after the monkey’s appearance, all living beings in the space had taken notice of it.
This monkey with a body was especially noteworthy as it looked exactly like the two earlier soul monkeys.
The earlier two soul monkeys proclaimed themselves as kings, vying for dominion in this place.
Now that this monkey had appeared, was my space really set to be dominated by monkeys?
The three monkeys looked exactly alike; could they start fighting each other?
All life in the space speculated, some hoping for a fight, to reap the benefits of a fisherman.
Their kin, however, did not wish for their kings to fight, as it would leave them without support.
The two monkey souls, busy with their Cultivation, were at a critical juncture, combining two kinds of spiritual energy.
One monkey wanted to restore its previous Mana, while the other wanted to enhance its Mana; they were both striving hard.
The arrival of this monkey affected their thoughts.
One monkey thought that it had finally found its Immortal Body and that it would dominate this space, acquire the power to leave this space, and find an opportunity to ascend again after going out into the Cultivation World.
But the other monkey was stunned; it was the soul born from this body, so why did this body possess another soul?
What was it then?
The monkey couldn’t understand no matter how much it pondered but was certain of one thing: the indifferently entering soul had usurped its body, which might also mean a soul had emerged, hiding within the body.
The monkey was outraged; it had been brought into this place by a human, only to find another soul within its body.
Previously, the two of them were competing with each other, simply wanting to determine who would be the king here, yet they didn’t expect that their bodies would be unsealed, and upon arriving here, they would have another soul.
So, they had something else to fight over.
All beings in the space waited in anticipation, facing such a strange occurrence without anyone to explain it to them, so there was only one possibility: they might be of the same kind, like triplets.
In the anticipation of all the beings in the space, the two monkeys that were cultivating seemed unchanged.
What changed was in the middle of the ordinary price of cultivation.
There was no signal given about the sudden appearance of the monkey.
This monkey that had just entered the space, however, was just dazed, with dazed eyes quietly observing the night, unafraid of the passing ghost flames.
Maintaining a single posture, with eyes vacant, its body motionless.
Beings in the space discovered something different again; this monkey with a soul emitted a faint rainbow light, different from the previous two.
Humans and Taoists, sensitive to such phenomena, perceived the monkey before them as a treasure, unsure of how it had been brought here, as no one offered them an explanation.
But the presence of this monkey in their space was beneficial to the beings currently cultivating there; they could absorb the faint luminescence it emitted.
The Taoist realized this and, with a sense of revelation and joy similar to what he experienced before, thought that entering here meant misfortune and fortune were intertwined.
He had thought there was no hope left, only to find now that he could absorb this Immortal Qi, his heart filled with intense joy.
He approached the monkey stealthily, slowly moving closer to absorb the Immortal Qi from its body.
In the Hell Palace, during the night, those Demonic Beasts that sensed the anomaly didn’t care if the darkness would harm them, preventing them from reaching the surface.
They could burrow and also quietly drew near the monkey.
They absorbed the rainbow light from the monkey’s body, the Ghost Cultivators were moved, and even Huang Chen shifted his Magical Treasure.
His fellow disciples and those monkeys without any powers also grew restless in this night.
The two monkey souls cultivating in the air, of course, sensed this too and seized the opportunity to absorb the rainbow light from the dazed monkey.
It was peculiar that the soul of this monkey had ascended to the Heavenly Realm but had been suppressed for tens of thousands of years, losing much of its mana.
Its soul was unable to emit the rainbow light.
Suppressed for tens of thousands of years, the loss of its mana caused it to fall greatly in its Cultivation stage, which is why it lacked the rainbow light.
The other monkey soul, born from the body, had not been in contact with the rainbow light emitted by the body either, because the body had been previously suppressed.
The strength of the soul that emerged from the body was just slightly higher than that in the transformation stage.
It had yet to reach the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.
Naturally, there was no rainbow light on its body.
It had grown up without ever seeing rainbow light on its body.
How it regretted not discovering this sooner in its heart.
It should have avoided provoking the humans when they arrived, instead of leading its companions to challenge them.
Then it would be the one possessing this body now.
But at this moment, all the regret was useless.
It could only absorb the rainbow light from the body, become stronger, and then be in a position to take back the body.
…
When Jiang Tang lifted the seal on the monkey’s body and immediately took it into the Hell Palace, he noticed the appearance of the rainbow light in the cave.
This was the light coming from the very place where the monkey had been sealed, the strong rainbow light illuminating the entire cave as if it were daytime.
Jiang Tang felt lucky to encounter this rainbow light, which was a form of Immortal Qi.
It originated from the seal made by a Great Power Holder from the Immortal Realm and also from the monkey’s own body emitting the Immortal Qi.
The illumination of the rainbow light was akin to a treasure emerging from the ground.
If this light were seen by people from outside, they would surely fight to seize this cultivation sanctuary.
Just like before, Jiang Tang and his companions immediately sat down on the ground of the cave, uncaring about the dirt, absorbing the rainbow light to cultivate their bodies.
Jiang Tang was grateful that the monkey had caused the mist to obscure hundreds of miles, preventing the outside world from seeing this place.
To be safe and keep this treasure land undiscovered, he had already sealed off everything that was happening here after discovering this mountain.
