In Gu Yuan's eyes, the bloodline of this group of monkey demons was extraordinary.

Just by growing older, they could naturally become celestial beings, mastering various divine techniques and magic, with greatly increased life spans. What sort of fortune was this?

If they could cultivate Daoist skills and advance to become a Saint-Entering Golden Pill level great demon, it clearly wouldn't be difficult.

This group of monkey demons, Gu Yuan suspected, might at least be upper-grade (red) level demons, similar to Ao Da, Big Mouth, Ah Huang, and Ah Wu.

Among them, some outstanding ones, if given fortuitous opportunities to augment their essence and awaken their bloodline power, might even be of the golden level.

At other times, Gu Yuan might have already been tempted to find a way to entice a monkey and tame it as a spirit pet.

These monkey demons, without saying anything else, had bodies similar to humans, and their spiritual wisdom was often very high.

If they could be tamed, to do things like serving tea and looking after spirit fields, picking spirit medicine, and guarding cave mansions, it would indeed be convenient.

Especially since Gu Yuan was under the tutelage of Medicine King Mountain, he would surely have his own cave mansion and spirit fields in the future, and no one would say anything if he reared a spirit monkey.

However, sensing the terrifying aura within the cave, Gu Yuan's thoughts were all abandoned.

Because at this moment, his sword intent and sword heart were frantically warning him, urging him to stay away from this place!

Gu Yuan stood still in place, but resolutely shouted in his heart:

"Yin Spirit! It must be a Yin Spirit Demon King!"

In that cave, there was definitely a Yin Spirit level demon monkey! Or a Monkey King!

Demons never cared for modesty or politeness; they revered the law of the jungle.

The strong could occupy the best things without scruples, even everything of the weak.

To be able to occupy the largest and best cave in this monkey group, it showed that the demon monkey inside was certainly the strongest!

Sure enough, at the next moment, two points of golden light suddenly lit up from the cave!

Golden and resplendent, dazzling and radiant!

An invisible aura quickly spread out, surging from the cave, and enveloped thousands of miles around!

This aura was incomparably powerful, filled with naked tyranny and ferocity, hence the way of the demon!

After the aura spread, all living beings within this range of thousands of miles were silent, not daring to make any noise!

Even on the dragon boat in mid-air, shielded by array restrictions, many cultivators couldn't avoid it; many had their expressions change drastically, striving to run their true essence to resist this terrifying aura, yet still were suppressed to the ground, unable to stand up.

Both Chu He and Murong Wushuang had slightly pale faces, their bodies trembling slightly as they struggled to resist.

Only He Ling True Master and Li Changsheng had calm expressions, without any discomfort.

Once a cultivator reached the Golden Core Realm, they underwent a groundbreaking transformation.

Especially those like them, who had formed upper-grade pills, with their divine souls housed in their golden cores, mastered several top-grade divine techniques, they might not match the Yin Spirit, but they wouldn't be suppressed by its aura.

As for Gu Yuan, he also felt an invisible tyrannical aura filling the heavens and earth, even his sword heart felt oppressive and heavy, as if covered with dust, weighted down by a great mountain.

The keen and agile sword heart lost its previous liveliness, seeming like a rusty machine, becoming dull and slow.

Gu Yuan had a sudden thought, recalling a phrase from the "Primordial True Water Scripture": "The highest virtue is like water, benefiting all things without contending."

Combined with the profoundly yin and soft, endlessly subtle meaning of Primordial True Water, it suddenly sparked thoughts in his mind.

At that moment, he simply stopped running his true essence, opened his heart, relaxed his body, and entered a sort of special chaotic state, all his thoughts and mind became a complete void.

The tyrannical aura assailed him, yet passed by as if touching nothing, not harming him in the slightest.

Gu Yuan's behavior was particularly eye-catching, drawing several glances from many people.

At this moment, a gold-colored monkey, more than one man's height, walked out slowly from the cave, its crimson-gold eyes fixed on the skyborne dragon boat.

This golden monkey stood seven feet tall, inferior to the robust figures of other monkey demons that were over ten feet high.

Yet its not-so-burly body possessed a unique sense of oppression, just standing there simply exuded a domineering aura of unrivaled supremacy!

Its furry monkey face wasn't very prominent, resembling a monkey but more human-like!

Its eyes gleamed with exuberant brilliance like torches, scanning about with a contemptuous and arrogant demeanor, causing those meeting its gaze to feel their skin nearly cracking, and their divine souls in excruciating pain!

In its hand was an iron rod, dark and sullen, flickering with frigid black glows, feeling incredibly solid and heavy, as if it could crush mountains.

Amid everyone's anxious thoughts, the slender figure of True Monarch Withered Wood appeared before them.

"Greetings, Patriarch!"

"Master Uncle Patriarch!"

"Disciple pays respects to Ancestor Withered Wood!"

Seeing him, the cultivators were both shocked and delighted, hurriedly saluting fervently, while inwardly cheering for salvation.

However, True Monarch Withered Wood ignored them, merely cupping his hands courteously:

"O Demon King, do not be angry. This old man is merely passing through, won't trouble Your Excellency!"

Upon seeing True Monarch Withered Wood, the Monkey King squinted slightly, yet its eyes shone more intensely.

"Human…"

The Golden Monkey King rested the black iron rod on its shoulder, speaking defiantly: "You wish to pass through, fine, but first, take a hit from my rod!"

Before the word finished exiting, with a boom, the cliffs collapsed and caved in, boulders flew, and sand scattered everywhere.

It leapt high, a full five thousand feet, even higher than the airborne dragon boat!

The whole body of the Monkey King glowed with golden light, each hair strand gleamed with crystalline brilliance, in this moment, it exuded both sacredness and domineering majesty.

It raised the iron rod high, then chopped it down vertically!

This strike, simple and straightforward, yet under this stick, the void seemed unable to withstand the fearsome power contained, twisting, emitting a dreadful wail!

Like a meteor crashing to the ground, with a long tail dragging behind.

Above the dragon boat, there was always a layer of shield that shrouded it, appearing thin, inconspicuous, yet was almost impregnable.

Even should a real mountain fall, it might not stir a ripple, let alone be broken.

Yet under the overwhelming Gang Feng and pressure of the Monkey King's stick, layer upon layer of ripples emerged.

Before the iron rod arrived, a concentrated divine intent radiated from it, inducing among nearly everyone a sense of impending doom, hair-raising danger.

Crash!

As the iron rod touched the shield, the layer of light shattered like a thin sheet of paper, easily pierced, emitting a crisp sound like glass breaking.
