Chapter 945: The Four-Eyed Demon Monkey

“It’s actually a World Seed containing the Sands of the Wheel of Life!!”

“Could this be my chance at the wide road?”

The Golden Immortal man’s face was filled with unrelenting excitement.

After cultivating for over a million years, his composure finally shattered at this moment.

“If word of a small world containing the Sands of the Wheel of Life gets out, even a Great Luo Sage wouldn’t be able to sit still.”

The Golden Immortal man stared at the shimmering World Seed hidden in the void as if it were a priceless treasure.

Sensing the faint trace of the Sands of the Wheel of Life’s essence, he couldn’t help but feel intoxicated.

“Great Luo Sage, I never thought I’d have such an opportunity before even reaching the peak Golden Immortal stage.”

As he spoke, tears began to stream down the Golden Immortal man’s face.

He recalled his tumultuous life—his tragic childhood, the price he paid to serve a Core Formation poison cultivator, and the sacrifices he made to please his master through deadly body refinement.

Even as he neared the Nascent Soul Stage, he was nearly turned into a poison corpse by his master.

Time and again, those he longed to be close to betrayed him, until his heart turned to stone and he saw the true nature of the Immortal Realm.

His life was a tragedy, devoid of any warmth.

But now, as he gazed at the glowing World Seed, he felt a flicker of warmth for the first time.

This warmth came from the Heavenly Path and the laws of karma.

“This World Seed will take some time to sprout into a small world.”

“To be safe, I’ll guard it here. Whether it takes a million years or ten million, I can wait.”

“Those lofty Great Luo Sages who once looked down on me—one day, I’ll trample them underfoot.”

At this moment, the Golden Immortal man’s expression turned slightly manic as he repeatedly checked his own karma and scanned the surrounding million-mile area to ensure no mistakes.

Meanwhile, on Hidden Spirit Island, Xu Fan, who was overseeing the underground space, wore a faint smile.

“Master, are you scheming again?” Avatar Number Two asked, noticing Xu Fan’s expression.

“When the main body smiles like that, he’s definitely plotting against someone big—at least a Golden Immortal,” Avatar Number One chimed in.

Only Avatar Number Three remained silent, focused on his work.

“Aren’t you afraid of biting off more than you can chew, Master? An ant taking on a giant beast?” Avatar Number Two teased.

“Chew? With our main body’s perfect stats and abilities, even fighting the heavens would be a 100% win,” Avatar Number One replied confidently.

Xu Fan shot them a look.

“Get back to work. If you keep this up, I’ll add another 100 years to your sentence,” Xu Fan said with a chuckle.

Just then, Xu Gang returned to the Hidden Spirit Sect, looking disheveled.

“Did the boss go plowing the fields again?” Xu Fan asked Grape.

“Xu Gang ran into a group of Four-Eyed Demon Monkeys while scouting the area, and their abilities happened to counter his,” Grape replied.

“Keep the Holy Thunder Cannon on alert; just make sure the boss doesn’t get into trouble,” Xu Fan instructed.

“Understood, Master.”

At that moment, a group of Four-Eyed Demon Monkeys was ten thousand miles away from the Hidden Spirit Sect.

The leading few, at the peak of true immortal cultivation, looked toward Hidden Spirit Island with a hint of fear in their eyes.

“Let’s not chase them; that human sect is not to be trifled with,” said the Four-Eyed Demon Monkey Leader, preparing to leave.

“No! Are we just going to let the territory we worked so hard to build go to waste?” one of the Four-Eyed Demon Monkeys shouted angrily.

“That human sect is stronger than us; we have no choice but to endure,” the leader replied.

The Four-Eyed Demon Monkey Leader still couldn’t understand why those humans would use their divine techniques to plow the land for no reason.

“I can’t let the mother monkey I just married die like this; I must avenge her!” the furious Four-Eyed Demon Monkey declared.

“Be careful, then. Don’t drag the entire clan down with you, and stay away from those Giant Cities of the human race,” the leader warned before leaving with the rest of his group.

All of this was being monitored by Grape from above.

Meanwhile, a battered Xu Gang was healing under his wife’s scolding.

“When you face an enemy you can’t handle, just call Grape for backup. Why try to be a hero on your own?” Xu Gang’s wife said.

“Seeing monkeys just makes me want to catch a few for Master,” Xu Gang replied.

“I didn’t expect those Four-Eyed Demon Monkeys to counter me so effectively. I’ll think of a way to settle the score,” Xu Gang said, scratching his head.

“Next time, take Shangling with you. I think our son is already as strong as you,” Xu Gang’s wife suggested.

“That little rascal has already surpassed me; he just lets me win during sparring. He thinks I don’t notice,” Xu Gang said, popping a healing pill into his mouth.

“Those Four-Eyed Demon Monkeys are truly formidable. Their techniques are impervious, and their strength can shatter mountains. A single punch broke through eight layers of my defensive techniques. If it weren’t for my protective celestial tool and inner armor, Master would’ve had to come save me!”

As Xu Gang spoke, a sense of dread crept in, and he couldn’t help but admire Master’s wisdom.

He still vividly remembered Master’s teachings from his childhood.

“A true master must ensure their own safety before unleashing their power. In battle, you should always have at least five layers of defensive techniques active.”

“Defensive artifacts, inner armor, Soul Stabilization orbs, and true and false clones—none of these can be overlooked.”

Because of this advice, Xu Gang always made sure to stack up his defensive techniques before any fight.

Half a month later, in the courtyard, Xu Fan and Xu Gang were enjoying tea.

“Four-Eyed Demon Monkeys—eye-piercing techniques, diamond-like bodies, impervious to all laws.”

“They’re tailor-made to counter you. If you see them, just run. No need to force a fight.”

“You’re as stubborn as ever. Look how long you’ve been recovering after getting pummeled by those monkeys,” Xu Fan teased, glancing at the blood-red law form in the sky.

“Those monkeys are incredibly strong. They charged right through my East Wind Divine Technique, moving at incredible speed and with immense strength. They nearly shattered my chest armor,” Xu Gang admitted, his chest still aching at the memory.

“I wanted to catch a few for Master, but they almost chased me all the way home,” Xu Gang said, embarrassed.

“Interesting. I won’t help you with this revenge. Let the body refinement disciples in our sect use it as a trial ground when they’re free.”

As Xu Fan spoke, several Holy Thunder Cannons flew over the territory of the Four-Eyed Demon Monkeys.

“Master, I have a question. If I encounter such an enemy in the future, what should I do?” Xu Gang asked.

“For you, any battle that doesn’t go well can be resolved with the East Wind Divine Technique.”

“Once you master it to the highest level, dealing with these Four-Eyed Demon Monkeys will be simple.”

Celestial energy began to gather, and the yin and yang path manifested, flowing into the newly refined East Wind missile.

The yin and yang forces within the East Wind missile started to merge, twisting into an extremely irregular state.

Xu Gang watched the intertwining yin and yang forces in the East Wind missile and gulped.

If the power of his initial East Wind Divine Technique was 1, what he saw now was at least 1000.
