Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

'Roar! '

As a fourth-order demon king, the white ape was provoked by a human at the Golden Core stage. Enraged, the white ape let out an angry roar.

His face instantly contorted into a ferocious expression, his fangs bared, and he unleashed his full, violent demonic power without reservation.

Although the white ape is a demon beast, primate demon beasts are inherently highly intelligent, and at this level, it is in no way inferior to humans.

It could naturally tell that this human cultivator, with whom it had a past grudge, had already reached the fourth level of body refinement, which was equivalent to a fourth-level demon king.

The two giant ape phantoms clashed and intertwined, their violent demonic power and profound blood energy colliding and dissolving into one another, making it difficult to determine who was stronger for a time.

A few breaths later, the two separated again.

The white ape's eyes showed surprise, clearly not expecting that even with its fourth-tier demon king level, it would be unable to overwhelm this human.

On the other side, Lin Changsheng looked at the illusory figures around the white ape with a strange expression, seemingly lost in thought.

"Where did you learn this 'Ancient Ape Glass Technique'?"

"And what about the 'Five Elements True Technique' you mentioned earlier? Could it be related to this body-refining technique in some way?"

Lin Changsheng was quite interested in this.

He had mastered the 'Ancient Ape Glazed Technique' for many years and was very familiar with this body-refining technique. It was precisely because of this technique that he was able to surpass most body-refining cultivators and successfully break through to the fourth level of body-refining realm.

Lin Changsheng sensed a similar aura from this white ape. This ape had also cultivated a similar body-refining technique, which was similar to his 'Ancient Ape Glazed Technique', and even more perfect.

"Hmph, you human, you stole my opportunity back then, and now you want to inquire about the 'Five Elements True Technique'? Absolutely not!"

"Unless you can beat me first!"

The white ape's face showed resentment, and his tone was stubborn, still remembering the grudge from years ago.

"No matter how high their intelligence, they still cannot change their beastly nature, which is to resist non-violence and non-cooperation."

Lin Changsheng feigned a sigh, then channeled his inner energy to meet the attack head-on, showing no sign of backing down.

This time, however, he wielded a nine-toothed rake, which, driven by his fourth-order body refinement realm, moved with effortless ease, leaving afterimages as he swung it, imbued with fighting spirit.

At the same time, Lin Changsheng made a hand seal with one hand, performing a complex and obscure spell. His magical power surged, and in no time, he advanced to the near-fourth level.

At this moment, Lin Changsheng unleashed his full power, combining his near-fourth-tier magical cultivation with fourth-tier body refinement, along with numerous magical treasures and the Nine-Toothed Rake, to bombard the white ape from all directions.

Then a terrifying scene unfolded on the scene: the power of blood and qi surged and churned, and the slightly frenzied magical aura was as vast as the sea, making Lu Xun and his wife, as well as the Biyue Kui Niu, feel short of breath and their chests feel heavy.

The fourth-tier demon king, White Ape, who originally had an absolute advantage, was now completely on the defensive under Lin Changsheng's repeated attacks.

Before long, the white ape was covered in wounds, its silvery-white fur stained with blood or charred black, looking extremely disheveled.

"White Ape, are you convinced now?"

Lin Changsheng held a nine-toothed rake, surrounded by white light with faint arcs of lightning. His eyes were sharp and his voice was deep as he stared directly at the white ape.

They seemed ready to fight again if I wasn't satisfied.

Lin Changsheng showed no mercy to the white ape.

In order to gain an overwhelming advantage, he used the secret technique of the 'Saint King of Reincarnation' to forcibly improve his cultivation level, which inevitably had some impact on himself.

Since we've paid the price, we should make the white ape suffer a bit.

The white ape gave Lin Changsheng a deep look before admitting defeat in a disheveled manner.

It possesses the fourth-tier demon king realm, but its advancement time is not long, its innate divine abilities have not been activated, and it cannot search for many treasures to enhance itself like human cultivators, so it is naturally no match for Lin Changsheng.

"You know the current situation."

Lin Changsheng was slightly surprised, but he still concealed his magical aura.

Originally, he thought that the white ape was wild and untamed, and he also had an old grudge against it. Since he had used a secret technique to improve his cultivation level, he should at least leave a deep impression on the ape.

When their eyes met, and he noticed the slight regret on the other's face, the white ape felt a chill run down his spine.

……

After a brief exchange, the white ape's eyes became clear, which greatly pleased Lin Changsheng. The two then conversed peacefully.

Although Bai Yuan still resisted Lin Changsheng's questions, he answered them all.

"You seem to have traces of practicing body-refining techniques. Where did you obtain these techniques?"

Lin Changsheng first asked the question that interested him the most.

"This technique is a demonic technique that suits me, originating from the 'Ancient Ape Chapter' of the 'Five Elements True Technique'."

The white ape spoke in a somber tone, but did not hide anything and told the truth.

"'Five Elements True Technique'? 'Ancient Ape Chapter'?"

"So, does this mean that the 'Five Elements True Technique' should have four other chapters? And each of them corresponds to a specific type of demon race?"

Lin Changsheng seemed to be deep in thought, and had some guesses in his mind.

The 'Five Elements True Techniques - Ancient Ape Chapter' used by the white ape is not only very similar to his 'Ancient Ape Glazed Skill', but even their names contain the words 'Ancient Ape', which seems unlikely to be a coincidence.

“Indeed, the ‘Five Elements True Technique’ is a technique that simulates the characteristics of the demon race, namely the ‘Ancient Ape Chapter’, ‘Tiger Chapter’, ‘Mysterious Crane Chapter’, ‘Hibernating Bear Chapter’, and ‘Auspicious Deer Chapter’.”

"I am unaware of the situation of the other four chapters. Even with the 'Ancient Ape Chapter,' I only obtained a portion of the content passed down by the master of this place."

The white ape slowly began to speak.

However, when referring to the owner of this place, there was a clear sense of respect.

Lin Changsheng, being observant, naturally noticed this as well.

"The owner of this place you mentioned must be at least a Nascent Soul level senior, right?"

Lin Changsheng tentatively inquired.

Upon hearing this, the white ape pondered for a moment before replying, "That person was indeed a human Nascent Soul cultivator in life, with a true cultivation level of at least the mid-Nascent Soul stage..."

……

Lin Changsheng learned a lot about the owner of this place from the white ape. He appeared expressionless, but in fact he was deep in thought.

The contents of the "Ancient Ape Chapter" in the "Five Spirits True Technique" mentioned by the white ape, after some reference and verification, were found to be basically consistent with his own "Ancient Ape Glazed Skill".

In other words, the body-refining technique that Lin Changsheng has been practicing is a simplified version of the 'Ancient Ape Chapter'.

This "Ancient Ape Glazed Technique" was originally left behind by the former master of the Green Wood King Butterfly.

This senior came to Jiuze Continent by establishing a teleportation array when his sect encountered a sudden change.

Is there some connection between these two things?

"Could it be... that the owner of this place has some connection with that senior from the Myriad Spirits Sect back then?"

“In fact… these two are the same person.”

Lin Changsheng began to make bold guesses in his mind.

The Wanling Sect is most skilled at dealing with demonic beasts.

This technique, whose full name is "Five Elements True Technique," is closely related to demonic beasts.

This is probably not a coincidence.

Thinking of this, Lin Changsheng scanned the area with his divine sense, his attention falling on the tightly closed stone door not far away.

According to the white ape, the owner of this place gave it this opportunity years ago.

The latter also benefited from this, cultivating the 'Ancient Ape Chapter' and advancing to the fourth-tier demon king realm.

But it needs to stay here and guard the ruins until a suitable person is found.
