Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

The Marquis of Wuwen's residence.

The moon was bright and the stars were few, but Hong Yi was not asleep.

He visualized a Buddha in the courtyard, and his mind conjured up a starry sky, as if he were visualizing the primordial stars in the distant heavens and drawing power from them.

The white ape suddenly appeared on the courtyard wall, silently, without alerting most of the people inside the mansion.

Of course, its appearance could not be hidden from Hong Xuanji.

However, Hong Xuanji had already received a telepathic message from Xu Qing, knowing that a demonic ape would become Hong Yi's protector in the future.

Hong Xuanji stepped out of the house, his figure flashed, and he stepped onto the roof, looking at the white ape in a black martial arts robe.

"So you are the protector His Majesty mentioned?"

He scrutinized the white ape, his powerful spiritual senses attempting to probe its strength.

However, it was blocked by the white ape's fist intent. Its indifferent eyes coldly swept over Hong Xuanji, and it said in a cold voice:

"Stop your probing! If you dare to even entertain the thought again, I'll crush your head!"

The white ape was very fierce. Except for being docile in front of Xu Qing, it never showed much kindness to others.

Moreover, Hong Xuanji's attempt to probe its strength and foundation with divine sense without prior notice was quite unexpected.

This was very impolite and made the white ape very unhappy.

Hong Xuanji frowned; this demonic ape was extremely ferocious!
And they were extremely arrogant!
He didn't continue probing, but simply gave the white ape a deep look before quietly disappearing.

It wasn't that he was afraid of the white ape, but rather that he saw no need to clashed with it.

The fact that the other party could become Hong Yi's protector means that their strength must be considerable. Judging from the fluctuations of that fist intent, they are no ordinary person.

Moreover, this demonic ape was personally appointed by His Majesty, so it's not something to be trifled with.

Therefore, Hong Xuanji did not take any further excessive actions.

But if any other demon ape dared to speak to him like that, Hong Xuanji would have killed them without hesitation.

After all, Hong Xuanji is not someone to be trifled with either!

The white ape stopped paying attention to Hong Xuanji and kept its gaze fixed on Hong Yi in the courtyard.

"Is this the disciple that Master recently accepted in this realm?"

It sized up Hong Yi. His blood and qi were barely acceptable, and his spiritual fluctuations were not bad either. For someone his age to have such strength was already quite outstanding.

"who are you?"

At this moment, Hong Yi opened his eyes, stood up abruptly, and stared at the white ape with sharp eyes.

His spiritual cultivation progressed rapidly, but it has slowed down recently, though his perception is still quite high.

Although the collision between the white ape and Hong Xuanji was very light, he still noticed something.

"Your perception is good, very calm and composed. You are better than the master's previous disciples."

At first glance, the white ape could tell that Hong Yi was different from everyone else.

"Master?" Hong Yi frowned. The demon ape stood on the courtyard wall with its arms crossed, looking like a gentleman.

His strength was impossible to ascertain, but he exuded a powerful sense of oppression.

This demonic ape must be extremely powerful, and it was able to enter the Marquis's residence and reach this core courtyard silently.

This clearly shows that the demonic ape is very strong.

Moreover, it seems that his father met with this demonic ape.

No battle broke out, but his father retreated.

"Are you a great demon under Master's command??" Hong Yi was quick-witted and soon deduced the white ape's identity.

The white ape nodded slightly and said, "You are very clever. From now on, I will protect you as ordered by my master."

"A protector?" Hong Yi hadn't expected that this great demon had come to become his protector.

"May I ask your name, senior?" Hong Yi bowed, becoming more respectful.

"You may call me Ape Lord. Pack your things tonight, and we'll go out of the city for training tomorrow. I will protect you in crucial moments, but you'll have to fend for yourself the rest of the time," the white ape said.

“Lord Ape… Hong Yi understands.”

Hong Yi repeated the white ape's name.

When he looked up again, the white ape had already disappeared.

"Such speed... I couldn't even detect it!" Hong Yi was shocked. With his soul power at the Possession Realm, he was only one step away from becoming a Ghost Immortal.

They didn't even notice when the other person left or how they disappeared.

Such speed and agility were truly astonishing. "Without any fluctuation of vital energy, could it be a void supernatural power?" Hong Yi murmured to himself, for that was an extraordinary supernatural power.

However, it is unknown how long the Ape Lord has been by his master's side, but he must have been deeply influenced by his master's martial arts and learned a great deal.

"It seems I should learn more from this Ape Lord during this training journey..."

………………

The next day, Hong Yi left Yujing City to hone his skills and put his martial arts and Taoist techniques to good use.

The white ape followed silently without revealing itself.

Xu Qing glanced at it once, then paid no more attention.

Hong Yi has his own experiences and journey, and he won't interfere too much.

Now, the only way is to continue practicing in order to attain enlightenment.

Cultivation knows no time; the incarnation handles state affairs, while the true body remains in cultivation. Time quickly passes, and another spring arrives.

Although only half a year has passed, the whole world has undergone tremendous changes.

As the Great Qian Dynasty grew stronger, the surrounding empires finally succumbed to the pressure and united.

However, their alliance failed and was forcefully suppressed by the Great Qian Dynasty.

These matters do not require Xu Qing's personal attention. Whether it is Yunmeng, Yuantu Empire, or other forces, the strongest among them are only Human Immortals or Six Tribulation Ghost Immortals.

They are no match for the current Great Qian Dynasty.

With Hong Xuanji leading a group of powerful figures from the Great Qian Dynasty, as well as forces such as the Jingyuan Temple, he was able to suppress everything.

In this vast world, there will soon be only one voice.

Xu Qing's cultivation has also reached a critical moment.

At this critical moment, the Supreme Daoist Master Meng Shenji finally reappeared in the world.

He could not allow the Great Qian Dynasty to unify the world and restore the glory of the ancient sage emperors.

Therefore, he personally took to the field and defeated a group of experts from the Great Qian Dynasty.

And once again sent a familiar letter to the Great Qian Dynasty.

That was a challenge!

Meng Shenji is about to challenge Emperor Qian to a duel, aiming to shatter the Great Qian Dynasty's unification of the world!

This news swept across the world like a cosmic storm, shocking all forces.

Meng Shenji actually dared to challenge the Emperor of Daqian at this opportune moment.

The world was shaken, countless people were excited, and the matter was hotly debated.

This will be the most talked-about topic in the world.

Daqian Imperial City.

The Hall of Supreme Ruler.

Hong Xuanji frowned and handed the challenge letter to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing didn't even glance at it, a cold smile appearing on his face: "It seems that Meng Shenji's strength has made a great breakthrough."

Hong Xuanji nodded: "Your Majesty, his cultivation has advanced further. In my estimation, he may already possess the strength of an Eighth Tribulation Ghost Immortal!"

"And he may very well achieve the Martial Immortal realm again, otherwise he wouldn't have the confidence to challenge Your Majesty."

Xu Qing shared the same thought: Meng Shenji was highly talented, and his strength would increase rapidly under extreme crisis.

The combined strength of an Eight Tribulation Ghost Immortal and a Martial Dao Human Immortal is enough to greatly boost one's confidence and give one a strong sense of security.

With such strength, he wouldn't even fear encountering a Nine Tribulation Ghost Immortal, not to mention the Dream God Machine and the Eternal Kingdom, a king of divine artifacts.

Meng Shenji naturally believed that he was invincible.

"Hmph, this Meng Shenji really thinks that just because his strength has improved, he can defeat His Majesty. Little does he know that this is undoubtedly courting death!"

Hong Xuanji sneered, knowing full well how powerful His Majesty was.

Even if Meng Shenji breaks through his strength, he will still be no match for His Majesty.

"Since he has chosen his own death, then I will grant his wish."

At this moment, Xu Qing's true form stepped out from his secluded cultivation place, his divine might as deep as an abyss and as imprisoned as a prison, beyond imagination.

"Congratulations on Your Majesty's successful completion of your seclusion and great progress in your cultivation!"
