Chapter 46: All Demons Gather in the Water Curtain Cave

For a time, the entire Divine Continent of Dongsheng, and even the demon kings in the surrounding areas, were surging because of this welcome banquet of Sun Sun Wukong, all casting their eyes toward Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Su Chen was completely unaware of this.

He was pressed by Sun Sun Wukong in the Water Curtain Cave, accompanying him to drink several rounds of monkey wine.

This monkey wine was brewed by the monkeys of Flower-Fruit Mountain collecting ten thousand fruits; it was full of spiritual energy and sweet and mellow, truly a rare treasure.

Su Chen accompanied Sun Sun Wukong in chatting while observing the entire Water Curtain Cave.

He discovered that under the waterfall outside the Water Curtain Cave, there was a mystery inside, and the depths were actually connected to a water vein leading directly to the East Sea Long Gong.

"No wonder Monkey Brother could run directly to the Long Gong to borrow treasures from here." Su Chen understood in his heart.

By the next day, the demon kings from all walks of life had arrived one after another.

For a time, demon aura surged above Flower-Fruit Mountain, and all kinds of strange demon winds whistled back and forth.

There were wolf kings riding black clouds, bat monsters riding blood mist, and tiger spirits riding demon winds...

The seventy-two cave demon kings had almost all arrived.

The gifts they brought were also varied, piling up in a corner of the Water Curtain Cave.

There were rare spiritual ores, thousand-year medicinal materials, and some strange magic treasures.

These demon kings were all fierce and evil characters, carrying heavy evil aura and bloody smell on their bodies.

As soon as they entered the Water Curtain Cave, they sat down carelessly, noisy and boisterous, turning the originally quiet cave abode into a mess.

Sun Sun Wukong sat high on the main seat, looking at the grand occasion of ten thousand demons coming to court, his face full of pride.

Su

He discovered that the cultivation bases of these demon kings were mostly between the Return to Emptiness Realm and the Demon Immortal Realm, with only a few having reached the Earth Immortal Realm.

"Come, come, come! Brothers!" Sun Sun Wukong stood up and said loudly, "Today, I, Old Sun, would like to introduce a good brother to everyone!"

He pulled Su Chen, who was beside him, to his feet.

"This is Daoist Wu Chen. He is also my own brother. From this day forward, he shall be the Second Great King of my Flower Fruit Mountain. His words are my words."

The gazes of all the demon kings instantly focused on Su Chen.

A human Daoist who looked weak and scholarly, with a cultivation base of only the Human Immortal Realm, could actually be the Second Great King of Flower Fruit Mountain?

This made many of the demon kings present feel somewhat unconvinced.

Especially the few powerful demon kings sitting in the front row, whose eyes, when looking at Su Chen, were filled with provocation.

"Great Sage, this brother of yours looks rather unfamiliar. I wonder which immortal mountain he comes from, and what kind of skills he has learned?" a burly demon king with a lion's head asked with a sarcastic tone.

He was one of the strongest among these seventy-two cave demon kings, already possessing the cultivation base of an Earth Immortal.

As soon as he spoke, the noise in the cave dwelling immediately quieted down significantly.

All the demon kings pricked up their ears, wanting to hear how Su Chen would answer.

Sun Sun Wukong frowned upon hearing this, about to flare up.

Su Chen, however, gently pressed down on his hand, signaling him to stay calm.

He took a step forward, meeting the lion demon's gaze, his face still wearing that same calm and indifferent expression.

"My master's sect is not something to be spoken of to outsiders," Su Chen's voice was not loud. "As for what skills I have learned... they are merely some superficial methods for cultivating the heart and nature and understanding the Dao, not worth mentioning."

He said this with extreme humility.

Yet, in the ears of these demon kings who believed that the strong should be respected, this was no different from showing weakness.

"Hahaha! Cultivating the heart and nature?" The Lion Camel King laughed out loud on the spot upon hearing this. "Daoist, we demon clans do not care for such things; what we care about is fists and strength!"

"Exactly. The Great Sage's brother must be someone with vast supernatural powers! Daoist, since you are the Great Sage's brother, your skills must be quite significant, right?" another wolf demon chimed in to stir up trouble.

For a moment, there was a commotion among the demons in the cave dwelling.

Sun Sun Wukong's expression had already become very ugly.

He slammed the table, stood up, and his eyes burned with fury.

"Everyone, shut your mouths for Old Sun!"

His roar sounded like a thunderclap in the cave dwelling.

That powerful pressure belonging to a Golden Immortal instantly swept across the entire hall.

The demon kings who had been clamoring just a moment ago were suddenly as silent as cicadas in winter, each lowering their heads in fear, not daring to say another word.

Sun Sun Wukong pointed at the lion demon and raged, "What kind of thing are you to dare question my brother? Does my brother need to prove his skills to you? If you dare to say one more word of nonsense, I, Old Sun, will smash your lion head with one strike of my staff!"

The lion demon was so frightened by Sun Sun Wukong's roar that his whole body trembled, his drunkenness mostly vanished, and he hurriedly knelt to beg for mercy: "Great Sage, please calm your anger! This little demon knows he was wrong!"

The entire Water Curtain Cave instantly fell silent.

Su Chen looked at the furious Sun Sun Wukong, and a trace of warmth flowed through his heart.

This monkey was still so protective of his own.

He walked to Sun Sun Wukong's side and whispered, "Monkey Brother, there is no need for this."

As he spoke, he picked up the bowl of wine in front of him and walked to the center of the main hall.

He looked around at the silent demon kings and revealed a faint smile.

"I appreciate everyone's good intentions. It is just that what I have learned is indeed not suited for fighting. However, I do have some small tricks that might help liven up the mood for everyone."

As Su Chen's voice fell, he gently sprinkled the bowl of wine in his hand into the air.

All the gazes of the demon clan were focused on Su Chen.

They all wanted to see what kind of magic this human Daoist, who was so highly valued by the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, actually possessed.

They saw Su Chen gently splash the bowl of monkey wine into the air.

The crystalline wine liquid traced a beautiful arc in the air and hovered in mid-air.

"Hum—"

A slight humming sound arose.

Those wine droplets suspended in the air suddenly began to tremble violently.

Immediately after, in the shocked eyes of the demons, every single wine droplet began to rapidly elongate and deform, eventually transforming into small, crystal-clear swords flashing with cold light!

Thousands of small swords condensed from wine hovered densely in the mid-air of the Water Curtain Cave, their tips pointing downward, emitting a sharp aura that made one's heart palpitate.

"This... what kind of technique is this?"

"Condensing swords from water? There is such a fierce intent on those swords!"

"My heavens, I feel like my demon soul is trembling! If those swords were to fall, I fear I would be poked into a sieve on the spot!"

The demon clan members, who had previously carried a bit of contempt and provocation, now all widened their eyes in astonishment; most of them had explored cultivation on their own and had never seen such a technique.

Sun Sun Wukong was also stunned as he watched.

"This technique looks a bit familiar... it seems like some kind of Daoist method Master taught, but it's not quite the same. My brother has really made something spectacular out of this technique," Sun Sun Wukong muttered to himself.

He could see that Su Chen's move, while seemingly flashy, actually required extremely high control over magic power.
