Chapter 201: Heavenly Phenomena
Soon, Fa Neng died in the mouth of the Great General Juan Lian, and the first reincarnation of Jin Chanzi came to an end.
Mount Huaguo, Water Curtain Cave.
Su Chen looked at the last piece of intelligence about Fa Neng sent by Luan Erjie, and there were no waves in his heart.
All of this was already within his expectations.
"Have all the people involved in this matter withdrawn from Xi Niuhe Zhou?" Su Chen asked Luan Erjie beside him.
"Advisor, rest assured, after they sent out the last piece of intelligence about Fa Neng, they have withdrawn from Xi Niuhe Zhou one after another and will never be tracked," Luan Erjie reported.
"That's good." Su Chen nodded: "This matter ends here. From now on, you will focus on collecting intelligence on the powerful demon kings who have suddenly appeared in Nan Zhan Bu Zhou and Xiuniu Hezhou."
"Yes, Advisor!" Luan Erjie bowed and left the Water Curtain Cave.
The matter of Fa Neng was completely settled, and Su Chen decided to cultivate peacefully on Mount Huaguo for a period of time.
It had been more than twenty years since Monkey Brother went into seclusion, which was already half a lifetime for mortals.
But for the immortal gods, demons, and monsters who lived long lives, it was just the time for a nap.
Since the Six-Eared Macaque was suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain and the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King and Erlang Shen retreated one after another, the Heavenly Court had never taken any action against Mount Huaguo.
As if they had forgotten about Mount Huaguo.
The string of the Mount Huaguo Demon Alliance, which had been tight for a long time, also gradually loosened.
That murderous aura of sharing a common hatred and waiting in battle array had long been washed away by time.
The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Bull Niu Mowang, was the first one who couldn't sit still.
With no movement from the Heavenly Court, his restless heart became active again.
After handling the affairs of the Demon Alliance, he threw the burden to the other Great Sages and ran back to Cuiyun Mountain in Xi Niuhe Zhou, looking for his beloved Princess Iron Fan.
With the Bull Niu Mowang as a precedent, the other Great Sages also became active.
After all, they had gathered on Mount Huaguo to prevent the Heavenly Court from using the fake Monkey King as an excuse to take action against the Mount Huaguo Demon Alliance while Sun Wukong was in seclusion.
Now that the crisis was resolved, they all had the idea of wanting to go out and walk around.
So, the Great Sages discussed and set a rule for rotation.
Each year, one Great Sage would sit in Mount Huaguo to handle the daily affairs of the Demon Alliance, while the others could move freely.
In this way, the grand occasion of the several Vice-Alliance Leaders of the Demon Alliance gathering on Mount Huaguo no longer existed.
Most of the time, there was only one Great Sage and Su Chen, the advisor, in the Water Curtain Cave.
The high-level members of the Demon Alliance were like this, and the demon kings and generals below naturally followed suit.
Many demon kings returned to their own mountains, leaving only some trusted aides and demon soldiers on Mount Huaguo to listen to orders.
Su Chen saw all of this, but he didn't say much.
The demon race was naturally scattered, and expecting them to be as disciplined as the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals of the Heavenly Court was unrealistic.
As long as the banner of the Demon Alliance didn't fall, and as long as the hearts of the Great Sages were toward this place, it was enough.
Moreover, he had more important things to do now.
During the twenty-five years he incarnated as Liaochen at Pudu Temple, he honed his Dao heart, experienced the red dust, and gained huge harvests.
He had successfully cultivated the supreme body-refining supernatural power, "Thirty-Six Axes of Heavenly Gang," to the thirty-fifth form.
Now, only the last form remained to complete the work and trigger the sixth, and final, "Star Evil Spirit" body tempering.
Once successful, his physical body could directly step into the level comparable to a Taiyi Jin Xian!
Therefore, he put all his energy into the contemplation of this last form.
Su Chen decided to improve his physical cultivation first.
After the physical body broke through, if Monkey Brother hadn't come out of seclusion, he would set off to find the five-element spiritual objects of water and gold attributes and push his immortal cultivation to the Taiyi Jin Xian realm as well.
After the experience of being deduced by a Saint, Su Chen realized once again that only his own strength was the foundation for dealing with all storms.
In the valley, Su Chen held the Return to Ruins Divine Axe and practiced the first thirty-five forms of axe techniques over and over again.
His movements, from the fierce and overbearing style at the beginning, gradually became smooth and fluid.
Every axe strike was in harmony with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
However, the true meaning of that last form was always separated by a layer of window paper, making it visible but untouchable.
"Still missing a bit of meaning..."
Su Chen put away the divine axe, sat cross-legged, and frowned.
He knew that this last form was no longer just a simple move or method.
It focused on intent and momentum.
This kind of thing was useless just by hard cultivation; it required opportunity and insight.
"No rush, take it slow."
Su Chen adjusted his mindset and immersed himself in cultivation again.
This day, Su Chen was practicing the "Thirty-Six Axes of Heavenly Gang" in the valley, pondering the mystery of the last form of axe technique.
Suddenly, his heart moved, as if he had sensed something, and he opened his eyes sharply.
An indescribable mysterious aura soared into the sky from the direction of the Water Curtain Cave!
Su Chen's figure disappeared from the valley instantly, and the next moment, he appeared on the top of the mountain.
He looked up, and his pupils shrank.
He saw that directly above the Water Curtain Cave, the wind and clouds changed, and the universe was inverted.
Countless visible Great Dao laws, like colorful chains, intertwined and collided in the void, emitting bursts of mysterious Dao sounds.
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, the five elements of the Great Dao manifested, turning into the phantoms of the five great divine beasts: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Qilin, galloping and roaring in the clouds.
Yin and Yang flowed, evolving into a Taiji Dao diagram, rotating slowly, as if to grind away the entire sky.
Even more, the laws of space turned into layers of folds, and the laws of time condensed into a flowing river...
All kinds of incredible Great Dao phenomena were clearly presented to the eyes of the demons of Mount Huaguo in an unprecedented posture.
"This is... the heavenly phenomenon of someone about to pick the Great Luo Dao Fruit!"
Su Chen stared at the various phenomena in the sky, his eyes full of ecstasy and excitement.
There was no mistake; this was definitely the phenomenon of someone impacting the Great Luo Jin Xian realm, triggering the resonance of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!
And besides Monkey Brother, who else could be in seclusion in this Water Curtain Cave on Mount Huaguo?
"Monkey Brother is finally going to succeed!"
Almost thirty years!
Since the incident of the True and False Monkey King, Sun Wukong had been in closed-door seclusion for nearly thirty years.
During these twenty-plus years, Su Chen had been looking forward to this day every moment.
Now, he had finally waited for it! ===== CHAPTER 202 =====
