Chapter 434 The Monkey King Extinguishes Desire
In the Wuchang Temple, the rain was drizzling.

In the secluded paradise of Baiguoyuan, the bright sun shines high in all directions, unaffected by the storms and turmoil of the outside world.

After a period of development, the atmosphere of this secret realm has changed dramatically. The most obvious change is the green mountain that stands in the center of the secret realm and receives the sunlight.

It contains the profound secrets of the Taihua Supporting Heaven Scroll, and rises one zhang higher each day. Now it is the number one spiritual mountain in the secret realm, over five hundred zhang high, with an extraordinary aura.

Most importantly, centered around it, groves of fruit trees rise from the ground, forming a unique sea of ​​trees. When the wind blows, the green waves surge like a tide, which is very eye-catching, as if it contains some kind of wonderful rhythm. All of this is thanks to the monkey clan.

They are like tireless gardeners, diligently tending to the orchards in the secret realm.

Within the spiritual realm, Jiang Chen's consciousness merged with that of the Spirit Lord, and he silently watched this scene.

"Thanks to the influence of the Qingyang Nurturing Talisman and the flourishing of all things in Taoyao, the development of the Hundred Fruit Garden Secret Realm has been much faster, and both the Qingfeng Crane and the Spirit Monkey clans have benefited greatly."

"However, the spirit monkeys are naturally more intelligent and are more easily tamed by birds and beasts, so their development is much faster than that of the Qingfeng Crane clan."

"They built huts and formed three tribes of varying sizes. Although they were still simple, the monkey tribe now had a touch of civilization."

With these thoughts running through his mind, Jiang Chen focused more of his attention on the spirit monkey clan.

Compared to the Qingfeng Crane Clan, the Spirit Monkey Clan has indeed shown more potential, mainly due to their relatively unique souls. Jiang Chen's ability to gather birds and beasts has amplified their advantages. Similarly, under Jiang Chen's guidance, the Qingfeng Crane Clan has undergone much less change. The former is a flawed jade, while the latter is a stubborn rock.

"It seems that the plan to fuse the blood of the Heart Ape with the Spirit Monkey Clan needs to be put on the agenda. The Demon Ape King did something similar before, casting the Blood Transfer Curse to infuse the Spirit Monkeys with his own bloodline and turn them into his puppets."

"Now I can also use this secret method to integrate the blood of the Heart Monkey into the bodies of the Spirit Monkey Clan. Although this secret method is not as profound as the bloodline transplantation secret methods in the Impermanence Sect, it is gentle and subtle, which is very suitable for the current situation of the Spirit Monkey Clan."

With a sudden thought, Jiang Chen took out a drop of precious blood. The moment this drop of blood appeared, numerous illusions began to emerge, but Jiang Chen suppressed them all.

In the next instant, Jiang Chen injected this drop of blood, along with the Blood Transfer Curse technique, into his spiritual palace.

The casting of the Blood Transfer Curse is a continuous process, not something that can be accomplished in a day. This matter should be left to the Spirit Lord.

At that moment, the Spirit Lord's spiritual fluctuations revealed a hint of greed, which immediately caught Jiang Chen's attention.

"The soul derived from the Spirit Infusion Method is blank. Theoretically, the Spirit Master should not have its own emotions, but the current Spirit Master is somewhat different."

Following that faint, unseen connection, Jiang Chen activated the Demonic Ape Shadow Technique, tracing the clues to the source, and saw the dark side deep within the Spirit Master's heart. There, all sorts of desires surged, rising and falling like tides, constantly impacting the Spirit Master's mind.

"Incense is poisonous."

Having seen all this clearly, Jiang Chen had a sudden realization.

While the path of the gods is convenient and has many advantages, it also has its share of disadvantages. The most troublesome of these is the poison of the incense. Although the spirit master can rapidly improve his cultivation by enjoying the incense and make great progress in the second-tier path of the gods in a short period of time, his soul is inevitably affected by the incense.

“With the powerful divine soul essence of the Spirit Lord, he can suppress these incense poisons for a short time. However, these incense poisons are like a bone-deep infection, completely integrated into the Spirit Lord's soul. It is extremely difficult to remove them. If they continue to accumulate, problems will arise sooner or later.” Shaking his head, Jiang Chen realized the troublesome nature of the incense poisons. However, he had anticipated this. For the divine path, although incense poisons are troublesome, they are not without solutions. The most important point is the tempering of one's own Dao heart and the purification of one's divine nature.

However, this is also what cultivators of the divine path lack most. The immortal path values ​​purity, while the divine path is turbid. Standing in the mortal world, how easy is it to remain untainted by the mud? Most gods will eventually be tainted by desires and lose their original nature.

"The poison of incense has penetrated deep into the soul of the Spirit Lord. Under normal circumstances, no external force can reach it except for him. However, his soul is an extension of my soul. Although the two seem to be separate, they are actually still one."

“External forces cannot reach me, but I am the exception.”

With a solemn expression, Jiang Chen activated his divine soul power.

In the next instant, a mirror of the heart manifested, transforming into a wisp of ethereal light that directly entered the depths of the Spirit Master's mind. The moment it descended, the darkness within the Spirit Master's heart erupted completely. However, at that very moment, the mirror of the heart shone brightly, forcibly illuminating the entire sea of ​​the heart.

At this moment, these dark desires have nowhere to hide and are laid bare.

At the same time, the mysterious restrictions were lifted, and the phantom of the Mind Monkey was reflected in the Mind Mirror. At this moment, its eyes shone with a dark purple light as it looked at the surging dark desires, which were filled with intense heat.

With a roar full of excitement, it broke free of its shackles, like a demonic ape stirring up the sea. The ape directly rushed into the Spirit Lord's mind, actively chasing after those dark desires and devouring them completely.

And with each bit of dark desire it devours, its aura grows stronger.

Holding the Heart Mirror in his hand, Jiang Chen silently watched this scene. The Heart Monkey represents the human side, and these desires are truly a great tonic for it.

A moment later, the dark desires within the spirit body dissipated completely. At this moment, the now much stronger Mind Monkey straightened up and turned his gaze to Jiang Chen. Thunder God's face showed three parts arrogance, three parts greed, three parts eagerness, and one part deep-seated darkness.

Looking at the restless mind, Jiang Chen remained indifferent.

"town."

With a profound understanding of Tao, Jiang Chen reversed the mirror's light.

In the next instant, the dazzling mirror light reflected the scene, instantly capturing the wild and unruly mind, which could not break free no matter how it struggled.

In just three breaths, the restless mind was once again suppressed within the Heart Mirror.

"The Illusionary Concentration Technique, the Demonic Ape Shadow Technique, and this final Incense Divine Path—these three are quite compatible. When they work together, they can achieve a synergistic effect greater than the sum of their parts. However, all of this is predicated on maintaining a healthy cycle. If any link breaks down, the entire body may collapse."

Holding the Heart Mirror in his hand, looking at the Heart Ape roaring and raging within, Jiang Chen's emotions were slightly fluctuating. This time, after devouring so many dark desires, the Heart Ape had grown considerably stronger, but fortunately, everything was still under control for the time being.

After a moment, Jiang Chen suppressed his distracting thoughts and escaped from the Spirit Lord's mind sea.
