Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 345: Innate Geng Metal Divine Radiance

In the enormous underground cavern, a towering tree stood like a pillar supporting the sky.

The six-armed iron ape had lived for a thousand years and had long grown accustomed to the presence of the giant tree. However, it was only now that he realized a problem: their entire clan relied too heavily on this tree.

Tens of thousands of iron apes were trapped here and had no chance of escaping.

The six-armed iron ape knew very well that the enemy would soon catch up to them.

The giant tree was teeming with vitality, with its roots spreading for hundreds of miles in all directions. Such a vast and dense vitality could not be concealed from the enemy's perception.

The enemy's target was the secret realm, and whether they ran or not, they would inevitably have to enter the secret realm.

After weighing his options for a long time, the six-armed iron ape decided to stay. He didn't have much time left, so where could he run to?

Among the entire clan, only he could communicate with the enemy. Only he could restrain all the monkeys.

If they truly angered the enemy, they would likely be wiped out.

For the current situation, the only option was to try and negotiate with the enemy.

As the six-armed iron ape was contemplating his strategy, he saw a golden light descending from the sky in front of him.

The light dissipated, revealing Gao Xian wearing a black and white robe.

Gao Xian was a bit surprised. The old monkey, the six-armed iron ape, didn't move at all. The fierce expression on his face had disappeared, replaced by a somewhat obedient and cautious look. Was he surrendering?

Gao Xian had a bad impression of this old monkey. When he killed Fan Qingxia, the old monkey was extremely fierce and ruthless.

Now that he couldn't win, he was putting on an obedient act! Considering that the old monkey was already a thousand years old, this kind of obedience seemed very ridiculous, even a bit terrifying.

Gao Xian coldly looked at the old monkey without saying a word.

The six-armed iron ape grinned, thinking that based on his limited interactions with humans, a smile could express friendliness.

The old monkey didn't know that this grinning smile looked like a dog wanting to bite someone in Gao Xian's eyes.

"Sir, I surrender. As long as you spare my entire clan, I am willing to offer treasures to you."

The six-armed iron ape held a few green peaches in his hands, with a pleasing expression on his hairy face. "These are the fruits of this tree. One of the fruits should be at Rank Four..."

The old monkey had a total of four green peaches in his hands, three of which were the size of fists, while one was as small as a jujube.

Gao Xian recognized this thing, the Qingjin Fruit. The last time he killed a four-armed demon monkey in the underground cavern, he obtained a Rank Three Qingjin Fruit.

However, in terms of quality, the three fist-sized Qingjin Fruits in the old monkey's hands were of better quality.

The Qingjin Fruit was transparent and crystal clear, with a jade-like smooth skin and a hard texture like gold and iron.

The smallest Qingjin Fruit, the size of a jujube, condensed the power of gold and wood in an extremely pure and solid form.

In terms of rank, it was at least Rank Four.

Gao Xian's heart stirred. These Qingjin Fruits were all extremely precious, especially the Rank Four Qingjin Fruit. He had a vague feeling that it might be able to serve as his transformation spirit object.

The Iron Ape with Six Arms really has some assets.

Gao Xian glanced at the towering sky tree, which should have been plucked from this tree.

The roots of the giant tree penetrate deep into the ground, extracting the power of the earth's veins and condensing endless vitality.

In terms of quality, this giant tree has even reached Rank Five. Fortunately, it hasn't developed sentience.

If the giant tree were to gain wisdom, who would dare to be so audacious here!

The old monkey has lived on this giant tree for a thousand years, so it's not surprising that he has these gains.

Gao Xian pondered in silence, which made the Iron Ape with Six Arms even more uneasy. He couldn't help but say, "Sir, the secret realm is in the tree hole at the center of the giant tree. I can take you there."

"No need," Gao Xian said coldly. "I can find it myself, so I won't trouble you."

He collected the four green-gold fruits with a wave of his sleeve. "I've taken the items, thank you."

A smile appeared on the Iron Ape's hairy face, but then he heard Gao Xian say, "However, you still have to die."

The old monkey's smile instantly froze, and he became furious, with his black fur standing on end.

"After accepting my gift, you still want to kill me? Are you unreasonable!"

The Iron Ape with Six Arms said sternly, "I've heard that your human race emphasizes being lenient, giving people a way out, emphasizing benevolence, and being magnanimous..."

Gao Xian said coldly, "Our human race also emphasizes an eye for an eye. When you killed Fan Qingxia, you showed no mercy. It's only fair and reasonable for others to come and kill you, isn't it?"

While the Iron Ape with Six Arms was speaking, his figure suddenly turned into a green light and burrowed into the ground.

He had long prepared the Earth Escape technique. Since they couldn't come to an agreement, he could only run away.

Gao Xian pointed his finger, and a golden light fell on the ground, instantly turning the ground within dozens of yards into a solid golden iron.

Golden Finger, a Rank Three spell that Gao Xian had recently learned.

This kind of spell couldn't be cast instantly. Gao Xian had long been forming seals in his sleeve, with Lanjie helping him hold the talisman in his forehead.

He only needed the Iron Ape with Six Arms to make a move, and the Golden Finger that had been prepared long ago would immediately be unleashed.

The Iron Ape with Six Arms had already buried most of his body underground, but the ground was turned into golden iron by the Golden Finger, instantly breaking his Earth Escape.

The hard ground, as strong as steel, trapped the old monkey inside.

Realizing the danger, the Iron Ape with Six Arms was about to exert force to break free, but his entire body was imprisoned by the golden magic power, turning his body into an iron block that was difficult to exert force from.

A four-foot green blade lightly brushed past, and the head of the Iron Ape with Six Arms flew up.

The old monkey, who had lived for a thousand years, was resilient, but even so, he didn't die from this. His crimson eyes flickered with a gleam of light, and his flying head rotated and fell back towards his own body.

Gao Xian reached out and grabbed it, and the spinning monkey head exploded into a mass of blood plasma.

No matter how strong the old monkey's vitality was, it was completely severed with this blow.

The headless body exposed underground trembled violently, blood flowing out in large quantities, and the body became limp, devoid of any breath.

Gao Xian found a green-golden crystal core in his hand, which was the life essence condensed by the old monkey.

Unlike humans, Demonic Beasts control magic power and divine sense through crystal cores.

This crystal core gathered the power of the old monkey's thousand years, making it very precious. However, how to use it required careful consideration.

Gao Xian accepted this crystal core and ignored the old monkey's corpse.

To say that flesh and blood of this level were still very valuable. However, the old monkey had wisdom after all, and Gao Xian didn't have such a cruel heart.

The key was that his cultivation base was already high and profound, so he didn't need to do things so extreme.

The Blood God Banner was still in the hands of the Tai Xuan divine clone, and he couldn't control it from such a distance.

Gao Xian was about to go and take a look at the secret realm when a large group of four-armed iron apes came running down from the trees.

These tall and strong iron apes had a murderous look on their faces, and they held weapons such as wooden sticks and iron spears in their hands.

Some of the weapons even emitted magical light.

Gao Xian frowned slightly, there was no reasoning with this group of monkeys. He drew his sword casually.

The Qingbi Sword drew a semicircular arc in the air, and the sharp Sword Ray extended along this arc to a hundred zhang away, as if a huge green light fan unfolded out of thin air.

Within this range, more than a hundred four-armed iron apes were all cut into two pieces by the unmatched Sword Ray.

In an instant, blood and flesh flew.

Some of the four-armed iron apes had already reached the Rank Three level, but their control over magic power was particularly rough.

Faced with the Rank Three Supreme Grade Azure Lotus Sword, their strong bodies were no different from tofu. Not to mention Gao Xian's superb sword technique, even a casual sword strike would eliminate the group of monkeys without giving them any chance to struggle or resist.

The scene was somewhat bloody, but Gao Xian passed through indifferently and took four Gold Core-level monkey crystals.

There were still tens of thousands of iron apes on the big tree, but they were frightened. When they saw Gao Xian flying up, the monkeys scattered and fled.

Gao Xian didn't pay attention to this group of monkeys. As long as they didn't cause trouble for him, there was no need to kill them. After all, he was a benevolent cultivator.

The tree hole in the center of the big tree was easy to find. In the depths of the tree hole, the entrance to the secret realm was like a silver mirror.

Gao Xian tried it out, and magic power, magical items, or his body would all pass through the silver mirror directly.

This spatial entrance obviously required a special key to open.

He took out the White Lotus Golden Divine Flag. After refining it a bit these past few days, he could barely use this spiritual weapon.

The White Lotus Golden Divine Flag fell on the silver mirror and quickly integrated with it.

The silver mirror expanded slowly, revealing a deep passage.

Naturally, Gao Xian didn't dare to take risks. No one knew what was inside the sealed secret realm. Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch wouldn't rashly enter with their true body, as it would be too dangerous.

For example, if the space of the secret realm instantly collapsed, not to mention a Nascent Soul True Monarch, even a Divine Transformation Dao Lord would die on the spot.

Gao Xian manifested a primordial spirit divine clone and entered this deep passage.

He was surprised to find that there was only an empty stone platform inside, with a three-inch tall white jade Calabash placed on top.

It couldn't really be called white jade, it just had a crystal-clear and jade-like appearance on the surface, but it was heavy and substantial when held in the hand.

This Calabash had an indescribable hardness. Gao Xian tried it slightly, using the power of his large Vajra staff, but even with five percent of his strength, he couldn't make the Calabash deform in the slightest.

If it were truly made of jade, it would have been crushed by him long ago.

After thinking for a moment, Gao Xian decided to open the lid of the Calabash. Although there was some danger, it wouldn't affect his main body in this sealed Grotto-Heaven.

As soon as the Calabash was opened, countless white gold divine rays shot out like needles. The Primordial Spirit avatar couldn't resist and was pierced with countless holes in the face and most of the body.

In an instant, the Primordial Spirit avatar was on the verge of collapse. Gao Xian quickly controlled the avatar to tightly close the lid of the Calabash.

The white gold divine rays that flowed out like water were blocked.

The remaining white gold divine rays did not dissipate, but flew and shot randomly in the air, instantly tearing the Primordial Spirit avatar to pieces.

At this point, the Primordial Spirit avatar could no longer maintain its bodily form and dissipated into strands of spiritual light.

The white jade Calabash also fell to the ground.

Outside the secret realm, Gao Xian frowned. These white gold divine rays seemed to be pure and extremely sharp metal energy, surpassing even the Azure Lotus Sword, which was very terrifying.

The flowing white gold divine rays flew towards the entrance and naturally shot out along the passage.

Gao Xian was startled and was about to put away the White Lotus Golden Divine Flag when he suddenly felt a connection. The white gold divine rays and the White Lotus Golden Divine Flag seemed to have a faint resonance in their aura.

Sure enough, the white gold divine rays all poured into the White Lotus Golden Divine Flag, as if they were attracted by something invisible.

A trace of white gold light flashed on the White Lotus Golden Divine Flag and quickly disappeared.

So, were the white gold divine rays in the Calabash meant for the White Lotus Golden Divine Flag?

Gao Xian wasn't entirely sure, but fortunately, he could slowly verify it.

The metal energy in the white jade Calabash was sharp, but after all, no one was controlling it. With this experience, he wouldn't be injured again in the future.

Gao Xian urged his Taiji Divine Avatar to collect the Calabash and then put away the White Lotus Golden Divine Flag.

Then, he activated the Great Principle Divine Transformation technique and exchanged places with his Tai Xuan Divine Avatar in the sect.

The Tai Xuan Divine Avatar came to the tree and took out the Blood Divine Banner. The Blood Divine Child appeared and rushed towards the ground, devouring the flesh and blood...

Millions of miles away, Gao Xian was in a quiet room, holding the Rank Four Qingjin Fruit. He felt that this thing could be used as a spiritual object to permanently manifest the Primordial Spirit avatar.

As for whether it would work, he had to try it.

If the Primordial Spirit avatar could condense into a permanent form, he could continue to cultivate the path of the sword.

From his experience, the path of the sword was far superior to the same rank. With the East Extreme Qinghua Divine Rainbow Sword in his hand, perhaps condensing it into a Sword Core would allow him to control the sword.

At that time, it shouldn't be difficult to sweep through a county...
