We bear people have power

"elder sister?!"

The tone of voice gave Guan Bo a chill; he seemed to see a blue vein flash across the "girl's" forehead.

Then, Guan Bo heard the man say, "Are you a monster?"

Guan Bo honestly admitted, "That's right, I am a monster, but don't worry, I'm a vegetarian."

After hearing Guan Bo's explanation, the handsome young man instead advised him, "What monster doesn't eat meat? Look at my delicate skin and tender flesh, don't you want to try a bite?"

Guan Bo swears that this is the first time in his life he has ever heard someone advise him to eat his own food.

Upon hearing this, Guan Bo muttered to himself, "What a pity about this girl."

With a thud, three veins popped out on the handsome young man's forehead, and he couldn't wait to beat the panda spirit in front of him to a pulp.

This handsome young man looks like a child, but he is actually over a thousand years older than Guan Bo. Even after living this long, he still cannot tolerate being mistaken for a girl.

But for some reason, since the other party didn't make the first move, he could only endure it.

But he could only sulk in silence, because Guan Bo had already slipped away, leaving behind a message before he left: "If you need anything, just ask Yideng. Maybe your sister is among those injured people."

Perhaps feeling a sense of unease about future laws protecting minors, Guan Bo decisively chose to stay away from mentally unstable, unruly children.

Meanwhile, on Lingxiu's side, the Foundation Establishment stage had reached its most crucial moment.

Of the eighty-one talismans, eighty have already been completed. The Azure Dragon Sword of the Wood element transformed into a divine dragon formed from condensed azure light, circling around Lingxiu. Once she successfully refines the last talisman, she will be able to forge the Azure Dragon Sword of the Wood element into her natal magic weapon, unleashing power far exceeding that of its peers.

Combined with her pure and lustrous body and powerful wood-attribute spiritual energy, she is virtually invincible among those at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Everything was going smoothly until Gongsun Jing realized that her Lingxiu Foundation Establishment was complete and her body would emit such a fragrance, attracting monsters from thousands of miles around.

However, with the Black Wind Cave guarding it, monsters could definitely break in in an instant, so it's best to wait until Lingxiu completes her foundation building before making any moves.

The azure dragon flew with increasing speed, becoming a mere shadow, its form no longer discernible. Lingxiu sat cross-legged, exhaling pure spiritual energy with each breath, constructing countless spiritual patterns that continuously converged into the azure dragon.

Lingxiu, absorbed in her cultivation, was completely unaware of the changes in the outside world. She only felt a sense of connection being relayed back to her by the Azure Dragon Sword. It was a feeling tinged with naivety and joy, brimming with vibrant life.

It seems like a fledgling about to hatch, or a butterfly just emerging from its cocoon, but it's still lacking that little bit of strength.

The spirit of the Azure Dragon Sword was pleading with Lingxiu for help, and Lingxiu, naturally, wouldn't hesitate to pour all her spiritual power into the sword. The last talisman finally took shape, its clear shadow receding and disappearing into Lingxiu's dantian.

It resembled a slender, azure dragon coiled around a phantom sphere of light.

Once the foundation is established and the nascent core is formed, this is the nascent form of the spiritual golden core.

The azure dragon shadow continuously spewed forth the spiritual energy of the Wood element, constantly nurturing the ethereal being. This is the power of a natal magic weapon; not only can it communicate with its master's mind, but a powerful magic weapon can also enhance the master's cultivation, making it a true treasure for seeking immortality.

Seeing that Lingxiu had successfully completed her Foundation Establishment, Gongsun Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief. As the nascent core formed, the aura that had been emanating from Lingxiu gradually subsided, and the fragrance of green bamboo finally disappeared. This was the flawless body; her entire body was without flaws, so she could not be harmed by having her aura captured or by magical treasures like the Seven Arrows of Nailhead.

Lingxiu opened her eyes and jumped up from the ground with joy. She spotted Guan Bo at a glance. She immediately forgot about her master, Gongsun Jing, and rushed into Guan Bo's arms.

"You stinky panda! I've also achieved some success in my cultivation, and I won't be a burden to you anymore." Lingxiu excitedly clenched her little fists.

Guan Bo patted Lingxiu's head, feeling immensely relieved. Finally, he no longer had to live in constant fear that Lingxiu would be harmed. With her Foundation Establishment complete and the Azure Dragon Sword protecting her, ordinary demons were no match for Lingxiu.

Although Lingxiu has achieved the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, the monsters outside Black Wind Mountain will not retreat, which is still a troublesome matter.

"Huh, can't we just wait for them to leave on their own?" Guan Bo asked, somewhat puzzled.

“The three of us don’t care, but if those monsters don’t retreat for ten days, all the mortals in the cave will starve to death,” Gongsun Jing said to Guan Bo.

"Sigh, being a mortal is such a hassle," Guan Bo couldn't help but sigh.

Inside the Black Wind Cave, Guan Bo was racking his brains about how to deal with the monsters outside, while the demons outside the cave were also discussing how to break into this tortoise-shell-like cave.

Within this area spanning thousands of miles, most of the insignificant demons are minor creatures. Even a newly established Spiritual Being can sweep away a large area with the power of the Azure Dragon Sword.

However, among these monsters, three are formidable.

A demon king was seen sitting on a cloud, discussing matters with a dark-skinned man and a fat man.

You ask what that demon king looked like? A later poem describes him: His majestic body is awe-inspiring, his fierce countenance imposing. His lightning-like eyes gleam, his thunderous roar shakes the four directions. His saw-like teeth protrude from his mouth, his chisel-like fangs gleam beside his cheeks. Brocade adorns his body, markings cover his spine. His steel whiskers are sparse, revealing only flesh, his hooked claws are sharp as frost. Even the Yellow King of the Eastern Sea trembles, and the White-browed King of the Southern Mountains is filled with fear.

This was a tiger with piercing eyes and a white forehead that had become a spirit, calling himself General Yin. As for the other two, the black-haired man was also extraordinary in appearance, standing nine feet tall with a towering physique. He called himself Lord Xiongshan and was a brown bear that had become a spirit, and was related to Guan Bo in some way.

The last fat man, with a tall, craggy double-horned crown and a dignified, hunched back, was actually a wild bull spirit. His name was rather tongue-twisting, and he called himself Special Scholar.

These three demons were formidable characters with names and identities. They had once captured Tang Sanzang but managed to escape unscathed, making them extremely rare figures in Journey to the West. Although the Great Sage had not yet escaped from the Five Fingers Mountain at that time and therefore did not encounter these three demons, his ability to survive the great calamity of Journey to the West demonstrates his extraordinary origins.

After a prolonged siege of Black Wind Mountain without success, General Yin's face darkened as he said, "How can this cave be so sturdy? Hundreds of demons have attacked it day and night, yet they haven't been able to harm it in the slightest. Are we just going to waste our time here?"

Although the special scholar was a wild ox spirit, he lived up to his name with the character "scholar" in it. With a quick glance, he said, "I have three plans, superior, middle and inferior, to break into this cave."

"Please speak, sir," General Yin quickly asked.

“The worst option is to surround Black Wind Mountain completely. In three to five years, even the demons will starve to the point of coming out.” As soon as the Special Envoy finished speaking about this worst option, Lord Xiongshan said, “No, no, the gathering of demons has already attracted attention. I heard that there is a sect of cultivators nearby with many highly skilled Taoists. They might cause us trouble at any time.”

The special official continued, "Then the middle strategy is to find some monsters who know how to dig holes, and have them dig through from below to bypass this giant rock at the mountain gate."

General Yin pondered for a moment and said, "Although this plan will take time, it is feasible. I wonder what the best strategy is?"

"The best strategy is to provoke both the people and the demons inside out," said Special Envoy with confidence.

"This plan is excellent, but is the gentleman confident in its success?" General Yin asked with a smile.

“I myself will make this monster in the cave surrender with just a few words.”

Full of confidence, the special official lowered the cloud and began shouting loudly in front of the Black Wind Cave.
