Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

The white ape opposite him was fixated on the scroll in Lin Changsheng's hand, but it did not notice the strange look in the latter's eyes.

"Human, does the scroll in your hand contain any record of the 'Five Elements True Technique'?"

The white ape spoke excitedly in a low voice.

His words and expressions were full of aggression.

Compared to humans, monsters are more pure, tyrannical, and direct in their nature.

Decades ago, it seemed to be guided by some unseen force to come to this place and inherit the incomplete 'Five Elements True Technique - Ancient Ape Chapter'. After obtaining this opportunity, it seemed to purify its own bloodline and successfully advanced to the fourth-order White Ape King.

The white ape had long regarded the 'Five Elements True Technique' as its own.

At the same time, it was determined that whoever obtained the final inheritance would do everything in its power to replace them and master the more complete 'Five Spirits True Technique'.

“That’s right, it is indeed the ‘Five Elements True Technique’. The complete ‘Ancient Ape Chapter’ you wanted is contained within it.”

Lin Changsheng looked at the white ape with amusement, his gaze sweeping over it.

Speaking of which, this white ape has quite a connection with him.

When they first met, the other party was just an ordinary first-tier demon beast, but its intelligence was different from that of ordinary demon beasts, and signs of this had already begun to emerge.

Aoki Wangdie once said that this white ape had extraordinary talent, and the senior who left behind the cultivation technique here arranged for this ape to stay behind, which could be considered the will of heaven.

However, this white ape, even after advancing to the fourth-tier demon king realm, never showed any trace of using its innate divine abilities after several fierce battles, which made Lin Changsheng curious.

The special feature of the 'Five Elements True Technique' is that it can use a domineering method to forcibly plunder the corresponding demon beast's innate supernatural abilities and cultivation level for its own use.

The white ape before them seemed to perfectly match the refining conditions of the 'Five Elements True Techniques - Ancient Ape Chapter'.

As for the white ape's specific talents, Lin Changsheng was curious, but he didn't necessarily have to find out.

As explained in the manual, each chapter of the manual can only retain the innate abilities of one corresponding demon beast.

If you repeatedly refine the same type of demon beast, the new innate divine ability will automatically overwrite it.

Now that his physical body and spiritual sense have both reached the fourth level, a fourth-level ape-type demon king is already quite rare.

If we miss this opportunity, we may not be able to find a suitable replacement demon king for decades to come.

Faced with Lin Changsheng's gaze, the white ape's eyes darted away, showing a slight hesitation.

But soon, it seemed as if they sensed some kind of danger approaching.

The white ape's eyes gradually lost their clarity, its muscles bulged, its frenzied demonic power surged, its silvery-white fur turned slightly red, and its aura was infinitely close to that of a Yuan-level early-stage demon king.

However, this formation was not intended to confront Lin Changsheng head-on. Instead, it transformed into a streak of blood-red light and fled outwards across the lake at an astonishing speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye!

"interesting."

"Before I even revealed my killing intent, this ape sensed it first and even decisively gave up the temptation of the 'Five Elements True Technique'."

Lin Changsheng looked surprised, and his interest grew even stronger as he watched the white ape's departing figure.

In an instant, a streak of cyan light pierced through space and followed closely behind.

Lin Changsheng's white robes fluttered, and the magical power of the seven-colored butterfly wings behind him surged. His figure was incredibly fast, arriving before the white ape and blocking its escape route.

"These humans are really troublesome!"

A rare glimmer of reason returned to the white ape's eyes; its heart was filled with resentment and inexplicable fear.

From its infancy, it possesses intelligence unlike that of other demonic beasts, and has a vague perception of great calamities and great blessings.

It is precisely because of this special sense that it tends to gravitate towards what is advantageous to itself and avoid dangerous and harmful places. Over time, this has become an instinct of 'seeking advantage and avoiding harm', thus allowing it to grow to the level of a fourth-order demon king in just one or two hundred years.

Before the appearance of humans, it had always felt that this place held a great opportunity for itself.

It was precisely this feeling that made the white ape, who had advanced to the fourth rank, willingly remain here in obscurity.

But just after that human browsed the 'Five Elements True Technique', he inexplicably felt a strong sense of crisis.

Over the years, it has developed an instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, which makes it almost without thinking to immediately take measures to try to escape.

"White Ape, since you want the complete 'Five Elements True Technique,' then help this True Man cultivate first!"

"If you can escape from my grasp today, I will gladly offer you the complete 'Ancient Ape Chapter'!"

Lin Changsheng has iridescent wings on his back, and his body is surrounded by lush green light, exuding a majestic and ever-renewing aura.

"You human, you actually disregarded the vast difference in cultivation levels and used secret techniques one after another in a short period of time to forcibly raise your cultivation level!"

The white ape was shocked by the intense sense of crisis it felt.

Not far away, Lin Changsheng's aura of magical power surged, and his powerful spiritual pressure exceeded the range of the late Golden Core stage, and was still rising.

"How strange, why does this human harbor such great hostility towards me?"

The white ape trembled violently, a strong sense of crisis almost suffocating it and filling it with despair—a phenomenon it had almost never experienced before.

On the other side, Lin Changsheng slightly opened his eyes, his gaze captivating, and a vibrant life force suddenly surged within him.

In an instant, a giant, ancient-looking wooden cauldron appeared out of thin air, its immense pressure causing the fourth-tier white ape's blood and qi to surge.

As the giant green cauldron appeared, spiritual energy from all directions converged and was continuously absorbed into it.

He activated a secret technique, sacrificing his life force and vitality to forcibly elevate his cultivation to a level comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Furthermore, even with this level of cultivation, when activating the 'Supreme Wood Spirit Cauldron,' 30-40% of his magical power was instantly drained.

However, at this moment, the 'Supreme Wood Spirit Cauldron' far surpasses the Golden Core realm in both power and endurance, and the power it unleashes subtly exceeds that of ordinary early Nascent Soul cultivators.

The white ape, who had just entered the fourth-order demon king realm, was naturally no match for him and had no power to resist. He was suppressed by the 'Supreme Wood Spirit Cauldron' activated by Lin Changsheng.

'boom! ’

A deafening roar shook the entire earth.

The 'Supreme Wood Spirit Cauldron' was deeply embedded in the ground, and cracks appeared around it, spreading outwards like a spider web.

Below, the white ape demon's body was broken and its expression was listless; it was on the verge of death.

Lin Changsheng glanced at the white ape's disheveled appearance, seemingly unsurprised.

He simply had a special spirit beast pouch in his hand. With a gentle wave, a ball of green flame floated out from it, then dispersed into specks of light that drifted around.

Subsequently, Lin Changsheng's aura, comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, rapidly dissipated, returning him to the late Golden Core stage. He also appeared to be in poor condition, clearly a side effect of forcibly using a secret technique to enhance his cultivation.

At that moment, a flash of silver light appeared around the white ape, followed by a tiny, palm-sized white ape phantom emerging from its body.

The white ape demon infant didn't even dare to look at Lin Changsheng once more. Without lingering at all, it transformed into a blurry, narrow silver streak and fled into the distance.

Lin Changsheng's gaze remained calm, as he had anticipated this.

Before long, the mournful cries of the white ape demon infant echoed throughout the entire space.

After years of careful nurturing by Lin Changsheng, the Netherfire Worm has completed its initial growth. Due to its special flame, it has a natural restraining effect on intangible entities such as Nascent Souls.
