All races revere me as the Heavenly Emperor, solely because of my nine disciples!

"Finding the demonic ape is your business; I won't get involved!"

"I've come here solely to guide the disciples of the Great Zhou Academy through their trials. The main academy has neglected them for too many years; it's time to give these children some extra training!"

Ye Haoran waved his hand, and before Zhao Yan could speak again, he turned to Qin Xiyao and the others and said, "Let's go, don't get involved with them!"

The disciples responded and followed him into the Primordial Mountain Range.

"Too deceiving!"

Only then did an elder from the Great Qian Academy grit his teeth and say.

"Yes, as the Supreme Elder of the Main Academy, Elder Ye's favoritism is far too blatant!"

"Sect Leader, are you just going to let him humiliate people like this?"

The elders of the Tang Dynasty Academy and the Yuan Dynasty Academy couldn't help but complain.

"Alright, alright, stop complaining."

"If you're so capable, say it to his face. Why are you complaining to me?"

"Don't think I don't know what you've done. If you continue to show no restraint, not only will you not get past Elder Ye, but I will also not let you off easily!"

"Let's go, let's go into the mountains and find the Primordial Demon Ape!"

Zhao Yan coldly observed, and the group could only lower their heads and suppress their anger as they entered the Taichu Mountain Range together.

"Elder, what's going on with this Primordial Demon Ape?"

In the Taichu Mountains, Chu Chen and the others followed closely behind Ye Haoran. Qin Xiyao couldn't help but ask.

"Legend has it that in ancient times there was a demon emperor who forcibly opened the path to immortality and traversed the heavens!"

"However, the path to immortality is difficult to traverse. In a fit of rage, he transformed into a battle immortal, recreating heaven and earth and restarting the primordial universe!"

"Thus, a mysterious forbidden area was added to the universe, called the Primordial Beginning, where those who enter will die!"

"Later, for reasons unknown, the Primordial Chaos collapsed and dissipated into the world. This Primordial Chaos Mountain Range is one of the fragments of the former Primordial Forbidden Land, forcibly dividing the ancient world into eight wastelands!"

"The Primordial Demon Ape is said to be a descendant of the Demon Emperor. Whoever obtains its essence and blood can restart the Primordial Era and seek the opportunity to attain enlightenment!"

"I heard that the Primordial Demon Ape has descended into the world, so I thought it would be quite lively here. That's why I brought you all along!"

"I had hoped to show you the prodigies of the various sects, but I didn't expect it to be so deserted!"

"Fine, let's go into the Eight Desolations Passage and see the geniuses of the various desolations!"

Ye Haoran led everyone straight to the Eight Desolations Passage, explaining as he went.

"I see!"

Upon hearing this, everyone realized what was happening and followed Ye Haoran straight to the Eight Desolations Passage.

Meanwhile, Zhou Hai was still searching tirelessly within the vast mountain range spanning hundreds of thousands of miles.

It has to be said, this area is far too vast. Without being able to use one's divine sense, finding even a single demon monkey is practically impossible!

"No, this search method isn't working. One person's field of vision is too limited!"

Late at night, Zhou Hai stopped on a hill. After searching the system space with his divine sense, his eyes lit up.

"Brush brush..."

The next moment, hundreds of puppets appeared around him as if by magic, each of them exuding an aura of sainthood.

Of course, this isn't a saint-level puppet; at most, it can only be considered a half-saint. Nevertheless, it's a reward from Zhou Hai's years of system check-ins, and can be considered one of his trump cards.

"Go, find the Primordial Demon Ape immediately!"

With a single command from Zhou Hai, the Taichu Mountain Range was divided into hundreds of areas, allowing the puppets to search simultaneously.

With a flash of red light in their eyes, these puppets instantly transformed into various kinds of people and flew away from the place.

"Damn it, I haven't checked in today, have I?"

After watching the puppets leave, Zhou Hai finally remembered to sign in.

"Ding: Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in and received a check-in gift pack!"

"Ding: The sign-in gift pack has been automatically opened. Congratulations, host, you have obtained a magic robe!"

The system's voice came through, and Zhou Hai's eyes lit up immediately.

The robes are a wonderful thing. Legend has it that these garments are invisible and intangible, yet they can cover the body, keep you warm in winter and cool in summer, can be made large or small, and can even block others' spiritual senses from probing them.

Unless forcibly refined, it is almost impossible to damage in battle.

Unfortunately, the craft of making robes has long been lost, so much so that many cultivators today are accidentally left naked during battles.

In the past, robes could be passed down through three generations, and even after the person died, the robes would still be there. One could fight freely without worrying about not having clothes to wear!

Thinking of this, Zhou Hai had a thought and instantly put on his robe.

After a flash of white light, the robe transformed into a milky white long gown, instantly changing his already handsome appearance and giving him the image of a refined gentleman in a turbid world!

"Hmm, not bad, this is the image I should have!"

"With this robe, I won't have to worry about oil stains when eating braised pork ribs or hot pot anymore!"

"From now on, we'll be able to wear white coats too!"

Zhou Hai looked himself over with satisfaction and couldn't help but admire how well the robe suited him.

Seeing that hundreds of puppets were looking for people for him, Zhou Hai figured one more wouldn't make a difference. He found a beautiful spot with stunning scenery, waved his hand and a bunch of cooking utensils appeared, and he immediately started his picnic!

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Although the Taichu Mountain Range was vast, the hundreds of puppets searched day and night and still managed to search the entire Taichu Mountain Range.

"Why haven't they found it yet?"

"Could it be that the little monkey wasn't even in the Primordial Mountains?"

After sorting through the messages from the Puppet Sect, Zhou Hai frowned.

Fortunately, the system only said that his little apprentice was in mortal danger, without specifying when the accident would happen.

Seeing that his little apprentice was still alive and well after so much time had passed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, if we don't find the demonic ape and the other party dies instead, that would be a huge loss!

"Could it be that I'm looking in the wrong direction? Is this little monkey not in the Northern Wilderness Primordial Mountains, but in the Eight Wilderness Passage, or perhaps in the Primordial Mountains of other wildernesses?"

After some thought, Zhou Hai decided to take a walk through the Eight Desolations Passage.

"Senior sister, our clothes are gone!"

At that moment, in a mountain stream within the Eight Desolations Passage, Qin Xiyao's exclamation suddenly rang out.

"What happened? Everything was fine just now, how could it just disappear like that?"

"Which lecherous scoundrel stole it?"

Soon, Ling Ruoxue and Bai Shushu's angry voices rang out.

The Eight Desolate Passage, though called a passage, is actually a small world. Everything that exists in the outside world can be found here.

Furthermore, to facilitate trade among cultivators from all directions, this world has established numerous towns and markets.

Many cultivators from all corners of the world settled here and started businesses!

"Alright, junior sister, let's change our clothes. Let's look around and see which scoundrel is behind this, capable of stealing clothes like this!"

Ling Ruoxue gritted her teeth and lost all interest in taking a bath. She took out a set of clothes and put them on by herself.

"Correct!"

"Don't let me catch him, or I'll break his arms and legs!"

Bai Shushu also said indignantly.

"Junior Sister, what are you standing there for? Don't you have any clean clothes to change into?"

Soon, the two changed their clothes, only to find Qin Xiyao standing to the side with her arms crossed, looking quite surprised.

Qin Xiyao nodded awkwardly, and both of them immediately looked exasperated.

"Junior Sister, you've been a disciple for so long, and you don't even have a single piece of clothing. Is this how your Junior Uncle treats you?"

Bai Shushu was speechless and quickly took out a new set of clothes that she had never worn before and handed them to Qin Xiyao.

"Thank you, senior sister!"

"But we can't blame Master for that. He's a rather careless person; he doesn't really care about his female disciples!"

Qin Xiyao thanked him and put on her clothes on her own.

"Hehehe... Looks good, looks good!"

Just then, a laugh rang out.

The three women turned their heads and their faces immediately turned dark!
