Chapter 443 - 342
Chapter 443 of "Spiritual Energy Rejuvenation: I Began Cultivating By Farming" begins with suspenseful moments: Thus, it also dragged its master into this trouble, spending 10,000 years contemplating where those... Donât miss it!
Thus, it also dragged its master into this trouble, spending 10,000 years contemplating where those mythical Immortals, compassionate and benevolent, were.
There was no Avalokitesvara to guide its master on a quest for scriptures.
But having been discovered by a human pet for the first time in tens of millions of years, perhaps this was its sole chance to escape.
Even though the monkeyâs mana wasnât very strong, it sensed the qi of a Divine Beast emanating from the dragon that had beaten it, and further in the sky not too far away, it detected the presence of humans.
The monkey also felt even more solidarity with its master from when they were mortals together, sensing that these humans were now powerful beings within the Cultivation World.
The monkey wondered if these people could possibly achieve Ascension?
With a shift in its eyes, the monkey sensed an opportunity upon encountering humans; if it begged its master to rescue it, could it once again swagger through the Mortal Realm?
After being suppressed and sealed for tens of millions of years, the monkeyâs once arrogant nature had been somewhat tempered.
Faced with this sole chance of rescue, it had no desire to wait here any longer.
Considering this Divine Beast presented as a mere pet was so formidable, even transporting its own Immortal Demon soul to the Mortal World was impressive, though most of its mana remained sealed away.
The monkey began to show humility, aware it wasnât like the Sun Wukong of myths, who was undamaged by Grand Supreme Elderly Lordâs Alchemy Furnaceâcurrent mere fireballs from this dragon made it feel utterly overpowered.
Indeed, once grounded, even an unascended Divine Beast could bully it, let alone these mortals who have yet to become Immortals.
âLittle Dragon Grandpa, please spare me!
Youâre my grandpa, save your grandson here!â
So readily admitting its inferiority, Eryao had thought that if the monkey kept being arrogant and defiant, it would turn the monkey into ash with its tactic.
Once the monkey showed weakness, Eryao paused its assault, feeling a moment of compassion, though its mouth remained unforgiving, âWhatâs this about my grandchild?
I am a Divine Dragon, and you?
Youâre just a monkey with a soul, not a Divine Beast; weâre not of the same kind, with no common schemes!â
âLittle Dragon Grandpa, I became an Immortal 10,000 years ago.
Even though Iâm not a Divine Beast, I have learned spells from my master, and my prowess is just as formidable as the legacies passed down among Divine Beasts.
Besides, I have achieved Immortality, and my mana is much stronger than yours, you unascended Divine Beastâs whelp in the mortal world.â
The monkeyâs words made everyone half-believe, half-doubt; if what it said was true, then the person who sealed it must indeed be an Immortal.
Yet how could a monkey that had become an Immortal be sealed away and fall to the Mortal Realm?
There must be many secrets they couldnât tell and some stories behind it.
The people on the flying arrows were curious, if a monkey could become an Immortal, why couldnât humans Ascend?
Where exactly had things gone wrong?
Eryao was full of curiosity about the Immortal Realm, especially since this Divine Beast wished to find its mother.
Where exactly were its father and mother?
If they were in the Heavenly Realm, why was it abandoned to the Mortal Realm, and why didnât its parents search for it?
Eryao had never seen its parents since it was born, it met Jiang Tang when it was very young and considered him to be its father.
But as it grew, it realized this âfatherâ was not the same species as itself.
Humans couldnât possibly give birth to a Divine Beast, especially a male who couldnât have children.
How could an unmarried man have a child like it?
âMonkey, Iâm somewhat skeptical of your claims.
If youâve truly ascended to the Heavenly Realm, have you ever seen a dragon with a body like mine?â
The monkey, with no more fireballs coming down and the smoke in the cave dissipating, could clearly see that the dragon before it was silver.
This sort of silver dragon was unlike those golden dragons, nor was it a Flood Dragon.
Perhaps among pets, there existed other types of dragons?
âLittle Dragon Grandpa, are you one type of pet?
That is to say, among Ancient Divine Beasts, Iâve only seen golden dragons and Flood Dragons.
As for your kind, maybe as a juvenile you were not a dragon, but upon maturity, you changed into one.
Perhaps you are a type of Divine Beast, not a true dragon.
Although its mana is a bit less potent, it has a legacy surpassing other Demonic Beasts.
Little Dragon Grandpa, what do you thinkâam I right or not?â
Eryao wanted to inquire about its biological parents, but the monkey hadnât provided any useful information.
Frowning slightly and feeling discontented, it said:
âYouâre really not fooling me?
Never seen a dragon like me?
Hmph, ignorant, you seem like a swindler, a dead monkey that only knows how to bluff.â
Chastised, the monkey did not dare to get angry, and after pondering for a moment, he said:
âLittle Dragon, have you managed to shapeshift?
The pets Iâve seen have already shapeshifted, and you canât make out their original form.
Those with formidable presence, once they transform, they look no different from humans.â
Eryao nodded.
The monkey continued to say:
âLike me, this monkey, once Iâve transformed, except for the extra hair, Iâm almost indistinguishable from humans.
Then there are those foxes, Snake Spirits, theyâre practically the same as humans, indiscernible even with magical eyes.â
Eryao nodded again, thinking for a moment, then said boastfully, âWho am I?
I am a Dragon from the Ancient Divine Beasts.
How could I not shapeshift?
I am not that dumb ox.
Look at what Grandpa looks like, will you?â
Having said that, Eryao transformed his dragon appearance into a handsome young man, his current look utterly indistinguishable from a human.
Foxes turning into humans occasionally still show their tails, but Eryao became this youth.
âSo thatâs how it isâŚâ The monkey looked at Eryao with envy.
Indeed, as an Ancient Divine Beast, he could assume human form even in the Mortal World.
Surely such high attractiveness!
Unlike him who had become an Immortal but still looked like a monkey.
Just like some other Demonic Beasts, even after ascending, they didnât have such good looks.
As the monkey thought this, it remembered the ox Eryao mentioned and felt a bit more balanced.
Not every pet was that monstrous.
The ox definitely wasnât smarter than a monkey.
Thinking this, the monkeyâs smile returned.
âLittle Dragon, are you here to rescue us?â
Eryao shook his head and said, âMy master is just here to observe, not to rescue you.
Is that Vine Whip also sealed here?â
The monkeyâs gaze dimmed slightly, disappointed that these humans and their pet had not come to rescue them.
But he did not want to miss this opportunity, for in a thousand years, only these humans and their pet had come here, finding him, presenting him with a chance to survive.
âLittle Dragon, that Vine Whip is actually on a mountain in the Heavenly Realm, right where I was sealed.
When the heavens cracked and earth shattered, that mountain broke into countless pieces and fell into the Mortal World.
Sun Wukong and I landed in the same place, not far from my sealed body, yet my soul cannot merge with my body.â
The monkey babbled on, but it was hard for anyone to understand what could cause the heavens to rupture and the Heavenly Realm to crack from its fragmented words.
Eryao felt so disappointed.
Where exactly had his parents gone?
Was he abandoned?
Eryao had been cultivating diligently, all to someday ascend with those people and find his parents in the heavens.
But now, hearing what the monkey said, what had the Heavenly Realm turned into?
Were his parents still there?
If yes, why hadnât they looked for him?
âYou said your body is sealed not far from here?
Where exactly is it?â
âI can only sense that my body is nearby, thereâs a large river reservoir, and dozens of mountains.
I can hardly communicate with my body, which is sealed in a place too powerful; perhaps it has already developed another soul.â
Listening to the monkey, one could guess how formidable this monkey was, even though it was sealed after achieving Immortality.
Touched by the monkeyâs words, Eryao still asked on behalf of his master if there were any Spirit Vein resources here, as they were important for his masterâs and his own endeavors.
Eryao didnât consider himself just a pet, only to help his master with the farming; if his master hadnât sent him to do some tasks, it was merely because his abilities werenât great enough, and his master was protecting him.
âMonkey, as long as you can tell whether we can establish an Immortal Sect here, and if there are any other resources, your little master, I might consider asking my master to rescue you.â
