Starting with Proficiency Panel Chapter 396

"Ding, you have successfully destroyed Sun Wukong’s physical body and primordial spirit, the physical body has dissipated, but it seems there is still a mark remaining in the world." Updates are released by ⓝovelFire.net With a loud noise, the Wuzun Kugu Bodhisattva sitting at the peak of Five Finger Mountain, after using the last of his stored power under Lu Ren’s connection, completely turned into dust, disappearing entirely as the True Wind blew. Lu Ren sat on the ground, the True Wind, which was originally erosive to the bones and flesh, now felt like a gentle breeze on his face, giving a surprisingly pleasant feeling thanks to his incomprehensible physique and spiritual resilience. Indeed, such a peerless fiend, even if imprisoned in such a place for countless years, can find an opportunity to escape. Perhaps it will manifest in Ji Quanzhen. Lu Ren hesitated, a thought flashed through his mind, but he eventually dismissed it. When the whispers suddenly arose around him, the strange murmurings seemed real and unreal, Lu Ren knew he was about done; if he continued, his body and spirit would be gradually eroded by the bizarre powers of the Seeking Truth Realm. In fact, under the gradual erosion of the Seeking Truth Realm, the environment had long changed from the era of Chang’e and Chang Xin, filled with strange auras inside, prolonged exposure would certainly cause big problems. Even Sun Wukong, a super Great God-Level figure who once possessed the Earth Immortal Path Fruit, had to voluntarily disperse the Earth Immortal Path Fruit to cope with the intrusion of abnormal powers in the Seeking Truth Realm. Of course, this is Lu Ren’s biggest guess now, even the Queen Mother of the West, who once possessed the Earth Immortal Path Fruit, now for self-preservation in the real world, to prevent her spirit and body from warping, gave up the Earth Immortal Path Fruit. It is highly likely that the Earth Immortal and the Inner Image in the Seeking Truth Realm are related. The innermost Inner Image of the Seeking Truth Realm might have encountered huge problems, causing the ancient Immortal Gods of the Mythical Era to launch a panic-stricken mass retreat, even the Jade Emperor spent countless resources building the Celestial Palace, intent on seeking the other shore. The remaining Immortal Gods are most likely the losers of the struggle at that time. In thought, Lu Ren took a step out, returning to the real world, at this moment Ji Quanzhen was already anxiously rummaging around. When he saw Lu Ren reappear out of thin air, first he was startled, then he ran over full of anticipation. Looking at Lu Ren at this moment, with large protrusions emerging from his shoulder and neck containing what seemed like two heads, Ji Quanzhen couldn’t help but exclaim, "Did you really manifest the Three-Headed Six-Armed Skill into the real world?!" Before Lu Ren could answer, Ji Quanzhen hurriedly asked, "How did it go?" Lu Ren glanced at him, without answering. In just a few hours, Ji Quanzhen’s actions had become a bit frantic, a state that never used to happen. "Do you feel any changes in yourself?" Ji Quanzhen was slightly taken aback, then began muttering to himself, frowning while constantly feeling his body. "What’s going on, what’s happening?" Lu Ren watched Ji Quanzhen jump around like a monkey, unable to stand still, constantly moving, his brow furrowed deeply. After a long moment, Ji Quanzhen sighed slightly, "It’s tough, I might have been cursed by Sun Wukong, I can’t find where this curse seal is at all, it’s like it’s merged into my body and divine soul, sharing the same root and origin." Ji Quanzhen spoke with some rambling, "Mad, I’m at this age, never thought I’d end up capsized in a ditch near my grave." Meanwhile, in the real world, Sun Wukong hadn’t moved at all. Lu Ren moved forward, reached out, and shook Sun Wukong’s body heavily, the other side no longer responded, the tightly wrapped life essence inside had already been unbound, dissipating naturally, reintegrating into the body’s limbs and bones. The old ape rapidly became extremely young, his gray-black hair turned brown, wrinkles smoothed out on his face, the image of the old ape quickly rejuvenating, a breath of returning to peak state gradually rose from within Sun Wukong’s body. Ji Quanzhen’s face was heavy, full of solemnity, his hands formed several long seals, true power inside roiling like a true dragon. "Is he going to resurrect?" Lu Ren shook his head slightly, "His spirit in the Seeking Truth Realm has long been gone, without mental restraint, the most intense vitality stored deep within his body spontaneously spreads, making him return to youth, with an appearance of rejuvenation." Remarkable vitality, Lu Ren had no idea that after countless years, Sun Wukong still had such terrifying life essence stored, if he truly got released, he could definitely restore his body to peak state in a very short time. Even if unable to reunite the Earth Immortal Path Fruit, he could rely on his unimaginably strong physique and spirit to have sufficient strength to deal with returning to the Immortal Gods. Such intricate thoughts, unfortunately, Sun Wukong never anticipated that someone like Lu Ren, who cultivated the Bodhisattva Path Fruit to nearly Great Perfection, would appear, causing the Wuzun Kugu Bodhisattva to burst forth with its last true power, extinguishing his spirit through countless ages of decay. Yet Lu Ren clearly understood, killing Sun Wukong was by no means a simple matter, if it were that easy, Lu Ren would even doubt the authenticity of the Earth Immortal Path Fruit. Among the Great God-Level figures around the Queen Mother of the West who primarily cultivate the primordial spirit, their physical bodies are also indestructible, not to mention this Sun Wukong who primarily follows the cultivation system. "Nine Revolutions Profound Skill..." Lu Ren genuinely wanted to see, this Profound Skill cultivation technique, surely one of the top cultivation methods of the Mythical Era. He now also suspected that the changes in Ji Quanzhen could be merely a pawn casually laid by Sun Wukong, in case his body was destroyed, he could reincarnate by borrowing another body. Reaching this point, Lu Ren instantly felt extremely troubled, with a strong urge to act spontaneously in the real world. After a while, Ji Quanzhen finally said, "Let’s go, this place must not be damaged in the slightest, even if you say Sun Wukong’s primordial spirit in the Seeking Truth Realm is destroyed, who knows what tricks he might still have." Lu Ren nodded slightly, "Let’s go." The two no longer hesitated, quickly turning and leaving. As Lu Ren and Ji Quanzhen entered the cave exit, the motionless Sun Wukong suddenly opened his eyes, unfocused gaze staring fixedly at the departing cave entrance. For a moment, a low, eerie voice gradually echoed throughout the sealed area. "ha...mayyit...sarmadi..." Unclear in meaning, unknown in meaning, unfamiliar in sound. Even with today’s human vocal apparatus and language system, there are no recognizable syllables capable of being produced. This bizarre and terrifying call, the ritual lasted a full half hour, suddenly, shattered souls appeared out of nowhere throughout the sealed place, circling and restoring. Yin wind rose, netherworld breath followed.
