Chapter 80 Our Minds Unite!
One by one, secret histories of the past are revealed before the boy's eyes.
The Peacock King's experiences moved him, prompting him to reflect on the relationship between the demon race and the human race.
Perhaps, humanity has not always been on the side of justice.
Li Wudao felt as if he had been in a dream, wandering around in circles, unable to emerge from it for a long time.
After that, he had many dreams.
I dreamt that I had experienced something similar, and I felt a mix of grief and indignation, along with a deep sense of powerlessness and injustice.
I dreamt of getting to know the Peacock King, drinking and laughing together, then going through a war between the two tribes, turning them into enemies, and ending in tragedy.
........
After an unknown amount of time, Li Wudao slowly awoke and couldn't help but sigh with melancholy.
The Peacock King was so heroic, yet he ended up in such a sorry state.
A king has thus faded from the stage, disappearing into the dust of history.
"You've finally moved on."
Just then, a pleasant sound rang in my ears.
Li Wudao turned his head in surprise and met Jiang Churan's bright eyes.
"Xiao Jiang, is that really you? This can't be another dream, can it...?"
He scrutinized her with some suspicion, then couldn't resist stepping forward and poking her delicate, flawless face with his finger.
whee.
It feels amazing to the touch; it's soft, warm, and as smooth as a freshly peeled egg.
However, the next moment.
Li Wudao could no longer laugh; he felt a piercing pain in his fingers.
"Ouch. It hurts...it hurts...let go..."
The boy gasped, grimaced, and his eyes instantly cleared.
"If you dare to push your luck again, I'll break your legs!"
Jiang Churan then pried open his fingers, staring at him with a look of disdain, yet with a slightly fierce and childlike intensity.
Li Wudao reluctantly made the promise, but he had mixed feelings inside.
Surprisingly, he actually enjoyed being glared at.
Cough cough, damn, this seems a bit perverted.
He secretly grumbled to himself, and vowed to do it again next time, stubborn as a mule.
After a while.
Li Wudao looked around and realized that the boundless sea of fog had long since disappeared.
Only that stone tablet remained there, meaning he had passed the first test.
He stood there, somewhat bewildered.
I didn't do anything; I just witnessed it from an outsider's perspective. How did I get through the test without even realizing it?
"It's time to go to Hundred Flowers Valley. There's one last test before I can receive the inheritance."
Jiang Churan parted her lips slightly and turned to walk towards the sea of mist.
"it is good--"
Li Wudao followed, but there was some doubt in his eyes.
The girl seemed to have passed the test early on, and her emotions were very calm. Her resilient character surprised him.
He, a grown man, was almost moved to tears, but Xiao Jiang didn't show the slightest emotion. His emotional control was just too good.
Deep within the sea of fog lies a valley.
Its shape does bear some resemblance to the valley outside the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm.
The difference is that this place is much smaller and full of life, unlike the desolate wasteland outside.
As its name suggests, Baihua Valley is a magnificent sea of flowers, where all kinds of rare flowers bloom in competition.
Some sway in the wind, making a string-like sound, while others exude a refreshing fragrance that makes people linger.
Among the flowers, there is a cobblestone path that winds its way to the depths of the valley.
Halfway there, two statues in the middle of the sea of flowers caught Li Wudao's eye.
He and Jiang Churan stopped unconsciously, staring blankly at the statues of the two standing hand in hand, their hearts filled with mixed feelings, and neither of them spoke.
After a short while, the girl withdrew her gaze and continued walking with somewhat heavy steps.
At the end of the sea of flowers, the scenery is completely different.
Ahead stands a magnificent palace, grand and imposing, weathered by time yet still standing tall.
Its top is covered with golden glazed tiles, which are carved with exquisite peacock patterns and sparkle. The exterior walls are inlaid with rare gemstones, sparkling and extraordinary.
And below the steps in front of the hall,
Two enormous monsters, like two gatekeepers on either side, were fast asleep on the ground.
One of the monsters was ten meters tall and its entire body was made of hard rock.
Its surface is covered with moss and vines, its face is rugged, its eyes are like burning embers, and its arms and legs are covered with sharp stone spikes.
The other one was a purple giant ape, with a huge and sturdy body, well-defined muscles, and an explosive sense of power.
Its fangs are long and protruding, its hair is rough and tough, and tiny arcs of electricity faintly flicker on its body surface, crackling and making a very imposing sound.
"Both of these are fourth-tier demonic beasts. The one on the left is called the 'Stone Spirit Giant,' comparable to a mid-stage Martial Grandmaster, and the one on the right is called the Thunder Giant Ape..."
Jiang Churan pointed to the two demonic beasts in the distance and explained them in detail.
Beside him, Li Wudao seemed to be deep in thought, "So the test for this round is to defeat these two demonic beasts?"
He had seen both of these demonic beasts in the book; they were both extremely troublesome beings in the same realm.
"That's right, only by defeating them can we obtain the inheritance."
Jiang Churan's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she said in a deep voice, "Later, you help me hold off the Stone Spirit Giant. It is relatively weak. Try to delay it as much as possible, and I will kill it after I deal with the Giant Ape."
After saying that, she thought about it again and took out the protective jade pendant once more.
Seeing the boy open his mouth to refuse, the girl immediately glared at him and said fiercely:
"Take it. If you die later, I won't have time to save you!"
Even now, she still doesn't truly understand Li Wudao's combat strength, hence her some worries.
The difference between the True Essence Realm and the Martial Sect Realm is enormous. Even if the young man is talented, it will be difficult for him to win, and he could lose his life if he is not careful.
Although she could fight opponents of higher levels, there were limits to her abilities. Facing the Thunder Giant Ape, she dared not be distracted, as it would be difficult to protect her opponent once the fight started.
"Okay... then."
Li Wudao accepted the jade pendant with a bitter expression.
For him, the mid-stage of the Martial Sect was indeed somewhat weak.
However, it was the giant ape that was comparable to the late stage of the Martial Grandmaster that made him somewhat interested.
However, he couldn't refuse the girl's kindness this time, since he knew better than to do it three times.
After some discussion.
The two walked forward slowly.
As soon as they entered the palace grounds, the two demonic beasts seemed to sense something and immediately awoke from their slumber.
"Roar--"
Two piercing roars echoed through the clouds, shaking the distant flowerbeds and possessing tremendous penetrating power.
"I'll lure the giant ape away. You hold off the stone demon for now. If you can't beat it, run away. Don't be reckless."
Jiang Churan's pretty face turned serious. She flipped her hand and drew her sword, taking the initiative to attack the Thunder Giant Ape.
"knew........"
Li Wudao curled his lip.
Immediately, like a street urchin, he sauntered over to the stone demon.
"Ah-"
The stone giant's eyes burned with flames, and without hesitation, it raised its enormous stone fist and pressed down.
Faced with that fist the size of a millstone, the boy was like an ant, insignificant and easily defeated.
However, the result was quite surprising.
Li Wudao also raised his hand and threw a punch, which came from behind.
"Boom!"
The dull thud shook the ground for a moment, sending sand flying and dust billowing up.
The next instant, the stone demon, as large as a small mountain, was suddenly sent flying out of the smoke.
As luck would have it, it crashed towards Jiang Churan.
At the same time, a flash of sword light appeared.
The giant thunder ape's chest was slashed with a deep groove, and it was blasted back hundreds of steps by the powerful force.
"Um?!"
Upon catching sight of the stone spirit giant banging its head against the ground, Jiang Churan's beautiful eyes widened in surprise, and she opened her mouth in disbelief.
You should know that this guy is no small man; he probably weighs close to 10,000 kilograms, truly comparable to a moving mountain.
As a result, he was sent flying by Li Wudao. Such physical strength is extremely rare.
She glanced sideways instinctively, staring blankly at the leisurely-standing boy, and couldn't help but frown.
When did the latter acquire such formidable strength?
From that moment on, she suddenly realized that she seemed to...
They have always underestimated their opponent.
Judging from Li Wudao's combat strength just now, he has actually surpassed the mid-stage of the Martial Grandmaster realm, and may even be able to fight her!
Jiang Churan was taken aback upon receiving this answer.
Such a change was hard for the girl to believe.
You must know, she is a reincarnated empress, possessing martial arts experience from her previous life, and cultivating the most top-tier techniques, making her invincible among those of the same level.
But now, she feels somewhat depressed, even questioning the meaning of life.
She just couldn't understand how Li Wudao, a complete good-for-nothing in his previous life, had transformed himself into what he is today.
The difference before and after is simply too unbelievable.
at this time,
An unusual movement came from the horizon, with light flickering and the void appearing slightly distorted.
Jiang Churan's heart tightened, and she said in a deep voice, "The secret realm is about to close. We have at most two hours left. We can't delay any longer."
"Roar--"
Not far away, two angry roars of beasts rang out.
The Thunder Giant Ape and the Stone Spirit Giant rose to their feet and charged towards the two like raging bulls, each carrying a violent aura.
"Quick victory!"
"Quick victory!"
Jiang Churan and Li Wudao exchanged a glance and said in unison.
A moment later, the two, as if by telepathy, simultaneously drew their longswords, turned around, and slashed at their former opponent.
"Keng!"
Two dazzling sword energies erupted simultaneously.
One of them exuded a chilling aura of war, domineering and cold; the other was pure sword intent, clean and refined.
A flash of light illuminated the valley, making it dazzling.
The next instant, the two running monsters stopped in their tracks, and their two enormous heads were suddenly flung out, blood splattering in the air.
Thus, the two demonic beasts, both comparable to Martial Grandmasters, perished.
"?!"
Li Wudao and Jiang Churan exchanged a glance, each seeing surprise and admiration in the other's eyes.
Immediately, the two sheathed their swords in tacit agreement and walked side by side toward the palace gate, everything understood without a word.
