Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 406 The Ape God!

"The spear intent also carries a trace of sword intent; the two combine without conflicting with each other!"

The bald man savored the moment he had just fired, all the images replaying before his eyes, as if he were relishing a divine delicacy, the aftertaste lingering and truly captivating!
"Haha!" The bald man savored the moment for a moment, then looked at Xu Ran and laughed loudly.

"You little rascal, you're really something!"

With that, he waved his hand and walked forward in a cheerful mood.

During this trial, Xu Ran brought him many surprises. At the same time, he also understood why Xu Ran was chosen by the Nine-Story Tower to become the last person.

Everything has a traceable origin!
As the bald man walked forward, a screen of light appeared in front of him.

This light curtain, entirely pale blue, is as captivating as an endless sea.

Moreover, there was a whooshing sound coming from within, which sounded as if someone was waving something behind the light screen.

Moreover, the speed of the swing was extremely fast, and even the sound coming from the light screen seemed to produce a sonic boom.

However, the bald man seemed completely oblivious to the suddenly appearing light screen and walked straight in.

Xu Ran was somewhat surprised to see this scene.

"Is the trial over?"

There is only one possibility. Otherwise, why would the bald gatekeeper simply ignore him and leave?

He couldn't think of any other possibility besides this one.

Just as Xu Ran was wondering what was happening, the bald man's voice came through the light screen.

"Aren't you coming in for the next trial?"

The bald man's voice seemed to carry a monkey's cry as well.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ran suddenly understood, but at the same time, he was somewhat puzzled as to why there was a monkey's voice behind the light screen.

What kind of trial could produce a monkey?
After pondering for a while, he couldn't come up with a solution, so he simply gave up.

who cares.

Anyway, once it's over, we'll all know what kind of trial it was.

Without hesitation, Xu Ran followed the bald man into the light curtain.

Upon entering the light curtain, Xu Ran experienced a moment of disorientation before his vision cleared, allowing him to see the scene before him clearly.

Before them suddenly appeared an extremely spacious arena. The arena floor was paved with ancient bluestone, the stone surface covered with traces of time and mysterious patterns, faintly exuding an ancient and profound aura.

"This is."

Xu Ran quickly looked around, taking in the scene before him, and noticed something.

On this colosseum paved with bluestone, there are layers of circular seats all around.

No one was sitting in those seats.

However, at the very front, there were three seats, and at that moment, three people were sitting in those three seats.

These three people looked very strange. They seemed to be sitting in seats, but to him, they felt as if they were floating in the air.

As Xu Ran glanced around, familiar images flashed through his mind.

"So it was them!!"

When Xu Ran first entered the nine-story tower, the three people sitting there now had appeared in the huge arena.

These three men were extremely composed, and their expressions were terrifying.

"These three people are likely observing my trial and have a significant connection to the Nine-Story Tower, but I don't know the specifics."
"Uuuuuu——"

After Xu Ran saw the scene on the seat not far away, a loud shout came from beside him. Instantly, Xu Ran's ears were drawn to this sound, which was like a howling wind.

Xu Ran was immediately captivated.

Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see a short, yellow monkey waving a wooden stick around in the center of the arena.

This wooden stick looks like just an ordinary wooden pipe, without any special aura about it.

"monkey?"

Seeing this, Xu Ran murmured softly, his gaze fixed on the monkey waving a wooden stick behind him, and muttered uncertainly.

Following Xu Ran's gaze.

In the center of the arena.

A nimble monkey was constantly waving a stick around.

The monkey's golden fur seemed to have been repeatedly forged by the scorching sun. Every hair shimmered with a dazzling golden luster, as if the purest sunlight in the world had been condensed within it. Its eyes were like the most brilliant stars in the night sky, deep and bright, able to see through all darkness. A lively light danced in its eyes, revealing an innate cunning and intelligence.

What is most impressive is the ring of pale gold runes on its forehead.

These runes, like golden hoops, encircled the forehead.

These runes would shimmer with a faint golden light every time the monkey waved its wooden stick.

"what?!"

What surprised Xu Ran was not the monkey's appearance.

After all, there are demons in the Origin Realm, so it's not surprising that a monkey could have such an appearance.

but.

An ordinary wooden stick, when wielded in its hands, seems to come alive, creating a whistling sound. Each movement seems to contain the power to split mountains and shatter rocks, making it a force to be reckoned with.

While Xu Ran was engrossed in watching, the bald man appeared beside him without him noticing.

"This monkey is a big shot in the Origin Realm!"

"Big man?"

Xu Ran was somewhat surprised to hear the bald man's voice.

Aside from its somewhat strange appearance, the monkey in front of me didn't seem to have anything else about it that made it appear like an important person.

Moreover, what kind of things could a monkey like that possibly do?

Xu Ran was puzzled.

After all, he knew nothing about the Origin Realm, let alone such an important figure.

"hehe!"

When the bald man heard Xu Ran's question, he didn't answer it immediately.

When they saw the bald man, they didn't want to tell him the truth and wanted to continue asking questions.

In front of him.

The ground suddenly began to shake, and a circular hole appeared in front of Xu Ran, pitch black.

Xu Ran was still unaware of what was happening.

"call out!!"

A crisp sound rose from the hole.

Upon hearing this sound, the monkey, which had been waving the wooden stick, stopped what it was doing and suddenly looked in Xu Ran's direction.

His sharp gaze immediately met Xu Ran's.

Suddenly.

Xu Ran felt a stinging sensation in his eyes.

But they quickly adapted and turned their attention to the round hole.

The sound just now came from that round hole, so something must be coming out of it.

as predicted.

The next moment, a wooden stick appeared from the circular hole.

Seeing this, Xu Ran reached out and grabbed the wooden stick firmly in his hand.

Upon seeing this, the monkey completely stopped what it was doing, staring at Xu Ran with wide, angry eyes, its gaze filled with murderous intent, as if it regarded Xu Ran as prey.

The monkey's killing intent pierced straight through Xu Ran, and even the three senior and junior disciples sitting in the spectator seats felt a chill.

"This monkey has such a strong killing intent!"

The junior sister looked at the monkey with trembling eyes, but the next moment, she shifted her gaze elsewhere.

The main problem is that this monkey's killing intent is too strong.

Although the junior sister is exceptionally talented and her cultivation is progressing rapidly.

However, she had always been the center of attention since childhood, and her growth had been smooth sailing. She had never experienced any setbacks or encountered a monkey with such murderous intent.

For a moment, she trembled slightly, having never experienced anything like it before.

But the next moment.

The body, which had begun to tremble, slowly calmed down.

A black flame was burning on the junior sister's body. Although it was a flame, it did not cause any harm to the junior sister, but only made her feel extremely warm.

That was the power of the second senior brother's black flames.

"It's alright!" the second senior brother said to comfort his junior sister, then looked at the eldest senior brother.

"Senior Brother, is this the same monkey described in ancient texts?"

The second senior brother stared intently at the monkey radiating killing intent in the arena with a solemn expression, and asked in a voice.

The eldest brother nodded.

"That's right!"

At this moment, with the help of the black flame power, the junior sister's body returned to normal, and she asked curiously.

"Ancient book? Which ancient book?"

The junior sister immediately became very curious.

After all, she knew very little about things in ancient books.

Therefore, it is unknown who this monkey is.

The eldest disciple remained silent for a moment before speaking to explain.

"At the birth of heaven and earth, countless powerful beings explored the path of cultivation one after another. After tens of thousands of years, the first powerful being finally appeared in the Origin Realm!"
This great being created an unprecedented cultivation system and was willing to share his well-organized cultivation methods with those he deemed talented.

Furthermore, an organization called the 'Heavenly Court' was established above the Origin Realm.

As the senior brother's words slowly unfolded, an ancient scene that the junior sister had never seen before slowly appeared before her eyes.

"With the cultivation method of the first great power, the appearance of great powers in the entire Origin Realm sprang up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain."

Moreover, those who became powerful were all members of the Heavenly Court, making the Heavenly Court the largest organization in the Origin Realm in a short time!

As he spoke, the eldest brother turned his gaze to the monkey in the arena.

Their eyes met instantly, and a chilling aura rose from the senior brother.

Meanwhile, on the monkey's side, a tangible aura of malevolence also rose up.

The next moment, the two auras collided violently and then disappeared.

However, it did not cause any harm to the senior brother.

After everything was alright, the senior brother continued to speak.

"As the Heavenly Court gradually grew stronger, there were also favored beings in the world who were blessed by the heavens and were born without the need for anyone's creation, but were born solely from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

This monkey is one of them!

"Under the tutelage of the Heavenly Court, this monkey's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. In just ten years, he became a powerful figure and a dominant force in his region!"

The existence of the Heavenly Court was common knowledge at that time, and the monkey, with his powerful cultivation, naturally wanted to enter it as well.

Unfortunately, its innate wildness and immense power prevented it from taking on a routine official position!
Not long after entering the Heavenly Court, he was dismissed from his post due to various matters.

In a fit of anger, he rebelled against the Heavenly Court.

As the eldest brother spoke, the monkey, whose killing intent was already overflowing, suddenly turned red, as if all the killing had flowed into its body, making it turn bright red.

It was obvious that it disagreed with what its senior brother had said.

Even so, the senior brother continued to speak his mind, seemingly unaffected.

"The result was predictable. Even though it gathered five powerful figures, the Heavenly Court had dozens of powerful figures, and it was defeated!"

"The pale gold rune on its forehead, which was left at that time, is a rune used to imprison its existence!"

The monkeys inside the arena heard their senior brother recount its exploits without reservation.

Instantly, a burst of red, malevolent energy erupted from its body, surging unreservedly towards Xu Ran, the only human in the arena.

next moment.

With a sudden burst of speed, it leaped forward, its entire body moving like a golden lightning bolt, hurtling towards Xu Ran at a dazzling pace.

The monkey raised its wooden stick high, as if carrying the force of a thousand-pound boulder, and with a whistling sound, it slammed it down fiercely towards Xu Ran.

Upon seeing this, Xu Ran was shocked and instinctively raised the wooden stick in his hand to defend himself.

"boom!"

A deafening roar, like a bell ringing in one's ears, caused Xu Ran's arms to go numb instantly. Blood spurted from the tiger's mouth, and he staggered back several steps like a kite with a broken string, almost losing his balance.

Xu Ran was injured in a single move.

He didn't understand.

It was clearly the spirit outside who was speaking, so why was it the one being attacked?

Xu Ran's face was full of helplessness.

At this moment, the bald man appeared high in the sky, staring at Xu Ran with a mocking expression.

"Your only goal is to defeat this monkey in front of you, and then you will pass the trial!"

Xu Ran glanced at the bald man's mocking face out of the corner of his eye, and felt equally helpless.

The bald man's earlier defeat in marksmanship seemed to have all been returned to Xu Ran. Even though he wasn't the one who caused it, seeing Xu Ran suffer a setback still made the bald man happy.

Xu Ran had actually heard what his senior brother said and realized that the monkey in front of him was no ordinary person.

Although he didn't know what kind of existence the powerful being his senior brother was talking about was.

However, to contend with an organization that rules the Origin Realm, one's cultivation level must be exceptionally high, at the very least among the most powerful beings in the Origin Realm.

Putting everything else aside, that one blow alone sent his body flying backward.

"boom--"

next moment.

Xu Ran, who was sent flying backward, crashed hard to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

at this time.

Xu Ran's entire body was embedded in the ground, which shows just how much force the monkey used to strike him!

But fortunately.

Xu Ran's physical strength is strong enough, and his recovery ability is also extremely strong. When his body is injured, the wounds have already healed.
