Chapter 91: Where Can the Little Fox Escape, The Immortal Dao Scripture
Where the Ghost Ship traveled, the winds were calm and the waves were still; Mengchen, the Tianhu Shaonü, and Heizi were each sitting quietly in meditation, having sunk into a state of enlightenment.
However, the Tianhu Shaonü was secretly and lightly lifting her right eyelid from time to time to steal a glance at Mengchen, and occasionally she would secretly lift her left eyelid to steal a glance at Heizi on the other side.
She was currently planning her escape... as a Saintess of the Heaven-Severing Sect, she couldn't just keep hanging around with these two! Furthermore, staying by their side, her own status was truly too low.
Like before, if she hadn't captured some Saintesses from the sacred mountains in advance, those dirty jobs like pulling tendons, peeling skin, and gutting intestines would have fallen to her.
Yet, having said that, in her heart, the Tianhu Shaonü was still quite grateful to Mengchen; if it weren't for him, she would never have obtained the Kunpeng Precious Technique.
Quietly, the Tianhu Shaonü slowly rose to her feet, and under her deliberate control, she did not make a single sound.
After rising, she saw that neither Mengchen nor Heizi had woken up, so she surged a large amount of Runes within her body; with a soft "Pop!", a pair of Kunpeng wings suddenly unfolded behind her, and with a light flap of the Kunpeng wings, she had already flown nearly a hundred miles in an instant.
"Hehe... stinky little brother, Heizi, big sister is leaving! Take care of yourselves." From over a hundred miles away, the Tianhu Shaonü's melodious, joyful laughter drifted back.
In an instant, she felt light and nimble; with the support of the Kunpeng wings behind her, she experienced the joy of high-speed flight, a look of contentment and self-satisfaction on her face.
At this moment, Mengchen opened his eyes, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth as he gazed toward the distant void where the Tianhu Shaonü had disappeared.
Following that, Mengchen's entire body became brilliant, golden Runes overflowing and shimmering; a pair of golden Kunpeng wings, accompanied by streaks of black, suddenly stretched out, the golden feathers on them arranged in distinct layers.
"Whoosh!" With a flap of the Kunpeng wings, Mengchen transformed into a streak of golden light and shot out.
"What terrifying speed, truly worthy of the Primordial Kunpeng Precious Technique." Mengchen was shocked by the flight speed of the Kunpeng wings behind him.
In just a few breaths' time, Mengchen saw the figure of the Tianhu Shaonü flying ahead and laughed aloud: "Hahaha... little fox, where are you going!"
"How is this possible?"
The Tianhu Shaonü's contented smile vanished in an instant; she turned her head to look and saw Mengchen approaching at high speed.
It was the same Kunpeng wings, but Mengchen's speed truly shocked her. Could it be that because her comprehension was incomplete, there was such a huge gap in speed between them? "Stinky little brother, don't be polite with big sister, big sister doesn't need you to see her off."
The Tianhu Shaonü's melodious voice rang out again; she drove all the Divine Power in her body to converge on the Kunpeng wings behind her, causing her speed to rise to a higher level.
Hearing this, Mengchen found her words clever and amusing, so he feigned a sigh and said: "Sigh... little fox, we have spent nearly three years together, and you actually choose to leave without saying goodbye; it really is heartbreaking! As expected, a Fox Spirit is just this heartless. For someone like you, I simply cannot let you have your way; you had better obediently come back with me!"
"In this life, being a maid is your destiny! Serving me will be your daily required course."
Hearing Mengchen's words, the Tianhu Shaonü instantly turned her head back and scolded: "Go to hell! You hateful bald head!"
"Whoosh!" In an instant, Mengchen brushed past the Tianhu Shaonü and overtook her, blocking her path forward.
"Imprison!" All eleven Cave Heavens behind Mengchen opened fully, becoming increasingly brilliant as divine light scattered, imprisoning the surrounding space and instantly freezing the Tianhu Shaonü in place, unable to move.
Afterward, the Tianhu Shaonü struggled to break free from the imprisonment and engaged in a series of battles with Mengchen.
In the end, the Tianhu Shaonü's Divine Power was sealed by Mengchen again, and she was brought back onto the Ghost Ship.
The helpless Tianhu Shaonü could only sit on the deck to the side, glaring with a look of resentment.
Mengchen smiled vaguely and did not pay her much attention.
Heizi, on the side, had been in a state of enlightenment from beginning to end, seemingly having cast aside everything in the outside world.
"Hum..." At a certain moment, the Vajra Pestle on his chest suddenly became brilliant and emerged while vibrating slightly.
"That youth named Shi Hao from before will be your best and closest partner in the future; you will embark on a journey that no one has ever walked before."
The Vajra Pestle, hidden in the shadows, had accurately sensed Shi Hao's aura after more than two years of close-range perception; it was exactly the same as the person holding a Supreme Sword Embryo that it had seen during its divinations.
"He is indeed a good brother worth entrusting one's back to, someone who puts one at ease. If there is still a chance, I am willing to fight alongside him," Mengchen murmured, recalling the scenes of fighting alongside Shi Hao earlier.
Mengchen had his own guesses about the journey the Vajra Pestle was vaguely pointing to; it was inevitably inseparable from the dark turmoil in his memories.
But from its words, Mengchen also gathered that in the future, Shi Hao would be with him as his closest partner; this point actually surprised him.
At the same time, he also thought that this might not be a coincidence. Shi Hao had opened ten Cave Heavens, and every realm had reached the absolute limit; perhaps all of this was already indicating that he was destined to go further and higher in the future.
Next, Mengchen did not ask, and the Vajra Pestle did not say anything similar to what it had said before.
But this silence did not last long; the purpose of the Vajra Pestle appearing was certainly not just to say such a superfluous sentence.
Thus, the Vajra Pestle, which had been silent for a long time, spoke again: "I know you have now reached the perfection of the Spirit Transformation Realm. You could have completely refined it to the ultimate limit but didn't; I imagine you must have your own considerations. Then, it is time for you to advance to the Inscription Realm, isn't it?"
"Yes!" Mengchen nodded in response.
He was not surprised by what the Vajra Pestle said; the Vajra Pestle's strength was powerful and unfathomable, so knowing his background was truly too easy.
As far as the current situation was concerned, as long as Mengchen wanted to, he could break through to the Inscription Realm at any time.
But this Inscription Realm was different from the Cave Heaven and Spirit Transformation realms; it required one to engrave Runes within the body and the Cave Heavens.
The Runes to be engraved were related to future achievements and could not be taken lightly at all, which was why Mengchen was struggling because he couldn't decide what Runes to engrave.
"Have you decided what Runes to engrave?" the Vajra Pestle asked.
"No!" Mengchen replied with a somewhat awkward look on his face.
"Very well, here is the highest inheritance of my Ancient Monk Lineage, called the Immortal Dao Scripture, which can also be called the Undying Golden Body or the Invincible Golden Body."
"Immortal Dao Scripture! Undying Golden Body! Invincible Golden Body!" Mengchen murmured and savored the names; they were truly domineering, but how could one dare to claim to be undying?
Regarding this doubt, after a moment, Mengchen understood and felt relieved.
Perhaps there was no true immortality in this world; this "undying" might refer to a state of mind, a state of mind that transcended life and death, which was what the creator of the technique felt at the time!
The Ancient Monk Lineage could be said to have reached its peak during the Primordial Era and had once produced an Immortal King.
Regarding this legend, Mengchen, who had once been a disciple of the Western Sect, had a fair amount of understanding from ancient books.
An Immortal King was already an existence standing at the very peak of the world; how could a scripture that even an Immortal King would need be an ordinary object?
Since this Immortal Dao Scripture was called the highest inheritance of the Ancient Monk Lineage, its level of power was surely indescribable.
According to this, this Immortal Dao Scripture was truly an Immortal Dao scripture that could reach the heavens and penetrate the earth.
