Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension Chapter 1630 - 877: Emperor Yuan in Peril, Immortal Law Silk Book

With his resolve set, Zhao Sheng ceased holding back Zhao Xuan Ye and bluntly declared, "Elder, I have a request."

"Oh? What is it? Let’s hear it," Zhao Xuan Ye inquired with keen interest, his gaze flickering.

In a solemn tone, Zhao Sheng revealed, "To be honest, Elder, I came for the Red Demon Horse Monkey. I hope to make the Red Demon Horse Monkey pregnant as soon as possible. Does Elder have any methods for doing this?"

Pausing briefly, Zhao Xuan Ye answered, "Well... there are quite a few methods. However, some of them have significant side effects. For instance, the Extreme Desire Soul Summoning Technique, obtained from the Secret Hall of the Spirit-controlling Immortal Sect, is excellent at inducing mating, but it greatly diminishes the Red Demon Horse Monkey’s lifespan.

Yuan Chijiu is unruly and defiant; he will never submit easily. Trying to use those sinister techniques that reduce lifespan on him is as difficult as reaching the heavens!"

Right after those words, Zhao Sheng firmly proclaimed, "No, he will obediently follow orders!"

Then, rising to his feet, he clasped his hands toward Zhao Xuan Ye and urged, "Please lead the way, Elder. I want to see Yuan Chijiu with my own eyes."

A look of concern crossed Zhao Xuan Ye’s face, forcing him to stand too, as he warned, "Daoist, I must caution you, Yuan Chijiu is inherently stubborn and has a volatile temper. When we go to meet him, it’s best not to provoke him, or he might cause the sky to break."

At those words, Zhao Sheng’s interest piqued sharply, "Oh, I really want to see how bad this monkey’s temper can be. Elder, lead the way."

Observing this, Zhao Xuan Ye shook his head inwardly and held his tongue, striding out without delay.

Shortly after, a Qingyun cloud lifted from the valley, soaring elegantly westward.

...

Eighteen thousand miles flashed by in a blink.

Clear skies stretched overhead with fresh air, clouds drifting leisurely. Beneath them, endless mountain ranges sprawled, blanketed in ancient thousand-year peach trees with bizarrely contorted branches.

Amid the peaks stood a stunning mountain shrouded in perpetual mist and clouds. Thousand-year peach trees blanketed its slopes, concealing steaming hot springs that filled the air with vapor, evoking a paradise of immortals on earth.

At noon, a Qingyun cloud approached from the horizon and halted swiftly above the peak.

Perched atop the cloud, Zhao Xuan Ye gestured downward at the misty hot spring mountain and said amiably, "Daoist, this is Cloud Peach Mountain. Yuan Chijiu’s cave mansion lies midway up the slope."

His voice shifting, he chuckled, "Our arrival has likely roused that rascal. Daoist, listen..."

Before the sentence ended, a booming roar thundered from the foggy woods below: "You old ghost, dare to come to Cloud Peach Mountain again? Return the Golden Marrow Jade Dew, or I’ll tear you apart!"

The bellow resounded across hundreds of miles, shaking the peach groves below like a ferocious storm.

Moments later, a massive ape clad in fiery red fur, Golden Jade Armor, and sporting a horse-like visage, bounded from the woodland depths to confront the Qingyun.

Instantly, a tremendous, suffocating pressure erupted from the ape, darkening the heavens and stilling every creature.

With a flick of his sleeve, Zhao Xuan Ye summoned a shimmering shield around the Qingyun, fending off the relentless Demon Emperor’s aura for the moment.

Zhao Xuan Ye gave an embarrassed grin and called out, "Emperor Yuan, please withdraw your Divine Skills! Let’s talk this over."

Humph!

Yuan Chijiu stretched his equine face long, glancing warily at Zhao Sheng before fixing a icy glare on Zhao Xuan Ye, sneering, "Where is my Golden Marrow Jade Dew? You’ve borrowed it to admire for a few years; isn’t it enough yet?"

"Haha! Let’s not discuss that for now," Zhao Xuan Ye boomed with laughter, yanking Zhao Sheng closer and enthusiastically presenting him, "Come on, Emperor Yuan, let me introduce this: our sect’s First Daoist, Dragon Transformation Island Master Zhao Sheng."

Once done, he turned to Zhao Sheng, "Daoist, this strikingly handsome Ape Clan companion is the mighty overlord of vast lands spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, Yuan Chijiu, Emperor Yuan!"

Zhao Sheng eyed the distant Yuan Chijiu intently for some time before giving a faint nod, "Not bad, the bloodline is quite pure—barely qualified."

Those words ignited Yuan Chijiu’s fury in a flash, his hairs standing on end like a spooked feral beast.

"Outrageous!"

Enraged, Yuan Chijiu unleashed a furious roar, his form turning into a crimson glow as he hurtled toward Zhao Sheng, a powerful fist blasting straight at Zhao Sheng’s forehead.

Blinding red light swirled around the fist, which brimmed with devastating might able to shatter mountains and rip the Void asunder, on the verge of exploding Zhao Sheng’s skull.

"No—" Zhao Xuan Ye’s Divine Soul quaked in sheer terror, prompting him to instinctively dispatch a Divine Thought amid his horrified scream.

He desperately wanted to block that punch, but it came too fast for any intervention.

The sheer velocity of Yuan Emperor’s wrathful strike made it impossible for him to stop in time.

Right at that crucial instant, Zhao Sheng "unhurriedly" raised his right hand, fingers parted just a bit, and shockingly seized the colossal fist hurtling down like a cannonball.

A deafening rumble erupted, warping and shaking the Void intensely while the clouds far below were erased in a flash by the fist’s lingering shockwave.

Yet when they looked once more, Zhao Sheng stood completely still, as Yuan Chijiu gnashed his teeth in mid-air suspension, his white pupils gleaming with uncanny light that betrayed a flicker of dread.

Zhao Sheng casually flicked his right hand, sending Yuan Chijiu tumbling through the sky like a helpless puppet, devoid of any power to fight back and entirely under his control.

Fury cracked Yuan Chijiu’s eyes wide as he poured his Mana madly into a bid to shatter the Law-based force that held him captive.

Alas, each struggle only intensified the dreadfulness of the law forces surrounding him, squeezing so fiercely that his bones snapped with sharp cracks and his Five Viscera nearly burst apart.
