Chapter 86: Innate Four Spirit Beast Overseas Lianyun Sect

  Chu Ping and Lei Xu descended to the island, standing at the top of the mountain, and the powerful aura that was unmatched on Lei Xu's body spread out, immediately filling the entire island.

  Standing beside Lei Xu, Chu Ping felt the majestic and powerful aura of thunder and lightning emanating from him, an air of grandeur, swiftness, overbearance, and haughtiness that left her with a sense of awe.

  The island immediately surged with three strands of aura, as if merging with the Lei Tu, a vast and rapid wave crashing down.

  A force came from the lower left, changing like water, quiet like a pool, making Chu Ping feel as if he was facing a clear and icy thousand-year-old pool of water, profound and unpredictable, cold to the bone.

  A powerful force burst forth from the right lower side, with an aura of dominance that surpassed even Lei Xu's. This dominance was not like Lei Xu's straightforward and imposing aura, but rather a reckless and violent one that made all living things retreat in fear. And yet, this aura was the strongest among the three, with an air of grandeur and majesty, as if it could shatter mountains with a mere wave of its hand.

  Another strand, however, comes from the right rear, ethereal and otherworldly, like clouds in the sky or moonlight between mountains. It is clearly visible but cannot be touched or reached, giving one a sense of being both near at hand and yet far away on the horizon.

  "Good fellow, these three auras, each one is comparable to that of the Thunder Beast. It's not surprising, though - dragons don't cohabitate with snakes, wolves don't share dens with sheep. A demon beast that can get along with a Thunder Beast, naturally wouldn't be an ordinary creature!"

  "Tianlei Zi, who did you bring back? The aura is mysterious and almost immeasurable, but it gives off a grand and solemn feeling. It seems to be from the Buddhist school of human cultivators?"

  A hollow voice, like a gentle breeze passing by, under the bright moonlight, echoed in everyone's ears.

  Chu Ping was startled in her heart, "What kind of spiritual beast is this, that it can actually detect me!"

  Chu Ping is now always operating the Qitian Gongfa, his breath hidden in the heavens and earth. Unless someone's cultivation is far superior to his, they won't be able to detect it. The owner of this voice, although powerful, is only slightly stronger than Lei Chu, also at the peak of the You Dan realm. Compared to Chu Ping, they are in the same realm, yet they can see through his actions and hiding spots, leaving Chu Ping shocked.

  "What's more, there are outsiders!"

  A loud and clear voice, like the sound of a golden bell ringing out, carrying a clarity that is heard in the ear, yet also like the beating of a drum, thundering like thunder.

  A purple light suddenly shot up from below, majestic and rainbow-like, falling beside the two people.

  When the purple light dissipated, Chu Ping finally saw clearly that standing in front of him was a giant ape with a body covered in purple fur, about three zhang tall. Its muscular arms were like coiled dragons, its wide mouth and nose, its eyes like lanterns, and a dazzling purple glow flowed between its eyes, making it look exceptionally agile.

  "This is the purple ape in Leisu's mouth, it's really powerful!" Chu Ping's divine consciousness swept over, and he felt that this monkey was like a volcano about to erupt at any time, and he even had a feeling of being stared at, his whole body hair standing on end, concentrating his mind.

  One after another, two more rays of light appeared, one was a pale white like jade and the other was a deep green like grass, both falling down.

  Under the white light, there was a monster like a sheep, with a single horn on its head. Its body was not large, only as big as a common domesticated sheep, and it was pure white all over, looking exceptionally gentle.

  On the other hand, a faint green light was actually a giant serpent with a pair of wings on its back, over 20 feet long, its hissing sounded shrill and made people's hearts tremble with fear.

  The purple-haired ape saw Lei Zhu's human body with a cow's head and burst out laughing, raising his thick arms to point at Lei Zhu, "Tianlei Zi, have you gone through your tribulation? How did you end up looking like this?"

  That sheep-like monster and that snake are not just ordinary creatures.

  "Ugh, it's too embarrassing to mention! I went to the Thunder Tribulation Realm to cross the tribulation, but didn't expect to be robbed by a Tian Shi Dao guy who took advantage of the situation. Not only did I fail to cross the tribulation, but I almost lost my life as well. Luckily, this friend helped me out with his sword and we managed to escape!"

  After finishing speaking, he introduced both sides to each other.

  These four monsters all have a Taoist name, Lei Chu is called Tianlei Zi, the purple-haired ape is called Juling Zi, the sheep-like monster is called Tianji Zi, and the giant snake with wings on its back is called Shuiyuan Zi.

  Chu Ping smiled slightly, thinking to himself, "These monsters all have Taoist names, how rare." He then clasped his fists and said, "I am called Chu Ping, but I don't have a Taoist name, just a name!"

  Tianji Zi smiled slightly, "We were also born nameless, only to have that title make up the numbers. If we had a name, we wouldn't take these titles, it would be laughable!"

  He then went down to the cave where Lei was and sat down inside it.

  Lei's cave, located next to the Tianji Cave, is quite spacious and has an area of several dozen square meters. It's empty and desolate, but thinking about Chu Ping makes me feel better.

  Tian Lei Zi just went through tribulation and transformed today. In the past, he was in beast form, so many decorations were useless.

  After entering, Chu Ping only discovered that the four caves were interconnected, with a wide corridor in between, and the whole was like a traditional Beijing courtyard house. In the central part of the mountain, there was a space where the four people would gather when they had nothing to do, exchanging their experiences and insights in cultivation.

  Although Lei Zi's tribulation was unsuccessful today, he still obtained a human body. He immediately took a few pieces of mountain rocks and refined them with heavenly thunder. A flash of lightning illuminated the area, accompanied by a dull sound, and several stone chairs fell to the ground.

  Several people in the cave spoke casually, and Chu Ping immediately asked, "I heard that there is a large sect in the overseas Xiu border, called Penglai. I wonder if you four have ever heard of it?"

  Tianji Zi replied, "Penglai is the first to cultivate the truth overseas, with great prestige and power. Moreover, this sect is built on an island, drifting with the sea currents, wandering without a fixed location, so it's usually impossible to find any trace of the sect!"

  Chu Ping was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect that the Penglai Xianpai would be such a scene.

  Jiulingzi burst out laughing, "This isn't anything, although the overseas is peaceful, after all it can't compare to the divine land of China which is a sacred place for cultivation. There aren't any good spiritual mountains or blessed lands, one can only wander around and collect heavenly and earthly spirits to increase the sect's spiritual energy. Sometimes they also have to go to the bottom of the sea to collect terrestrial spiritual springs, this makes overseas cultivation not inferior to that in China!"

  "So it was." Chu Ping murmured.

  " Fellow Taoist, you can take a closer look. This island where we reside has been refined by us four for years and months, almost equivalent to a treasure, only a bit rough. On ordinary days, I also ride it back and forth, touring the sea, it's quite an interesting thing."

  Chu Ping was shocked again, his divine consciousness spreading out like a large net, dense and intricate, pouring down in all directions to scan and explore. In an instant, he discovered that the island was a single entity, and at the root of the mountain, there was a massive array, like a deep pool, gathering countless heavenly thunders and earthly fires, as well as turbulent five-element primal energies, constantly surging and churning, like a huge engine, ceaselessly providing power to the island.

  But Chu Ping also discovered that this island was more like a transportation tool made by humans, rather than a magical artifact. Cars burn oil, but this island simply absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to operate. There was a layer of vague formation outside the island, but it was just a simple protective shield, very rough, far inferior to some formations that Chu Ping knew.

  At that moment, a faint smile appeared on his face as he said in a gentle voice, "It's indeed ingenious, but the formation is slightly too simple. If a strong enemy were to attack, it wouldn't be suitable as a defensive formation."

  Tian Lei Zi laughed and said, "We who cultivate with beastly bodies have only simple methods of swallowing and spitting out yuanqi. The four of us are already considered to be exceptionally gifted, born with the ability to control some powers, but we are far inferior to human cultivators who have inherited several thousand years of accumulated cultivation secrets. Even the outer layer's large array, although simple, was only discovered by us four when we happened to encounter a conflict between demons on the sea and conveniently collected some remaining storage bags, searching through dozens before finding a record about array methods. We couldn't understand much of it, only grasping some simple parts, which we then set up around the island."

  Chu Ping smiled slightly, but in her heart she thought, "Anyone with a decent background would never carry their skills with them. I'm also helpless, belonging to the Wuxiang Temple, but the hidden books in my ring are all from the Qitian Sect, and it's not convenient to put them away so I had to bring them along!"

  But when Tian Lei Zi mentioned the Tao Demon conflict, he became curious and asked casually, "Tao Demon conflict, is there still a demon gate?"

  Tianji Zi replied, "It's not just the Dao Demon, even among different Dao sects, there are often comparisons and fights. The number one demonic sect overseas, Lianyun Sword Sect, is in charge of all overseas demonic sects, and has been at odds with the Daoist sect led by Penglai for a long time."

  At this point, Chu Ping suddenly asked, "Don't the two sects of Taoism and Demon have anyone coming to the island to make trouble?"

  Jiulingzi laughed and said, "How could there not be? Our kind of demons also have an alliance overseas. It's just that the four of us aren't very enthusiastic about it. Tianji was born with the ability to discern good and bad fortune, understand the emotions of all things, investigate the affairs of ghosts and gods, and avoid calamities. When we foresaw something untoward, the four of us hastily hid our tracks, changed islands, and even if you searched casually, you wouldn't be able to find us."

  Chu Ping couldn't help but look at Tianji Zi, with a hint of astonishment on his face. To predict fortune and misfortune, to seek good fortune and avoid calamity, this is one manifestation of the moral character of many cultivators, although it has nothing to do with magical powers, yet when one's moral character is high, their heart is transparent, and they can easily comprehend the principles of the great Dao. But who would have thought that Tianji Zi actually possessed such a divine gift?

  Tianji Zi smiled and said, "It's nothing, Tianlei Zi was born to control the wind and thunder, Shuizong Zi controls the flow of water, and is skilled at gathering water essence. Juling Zi has infinite strength, can hold up the sea and support the sky, carry mountains and grasp the moon, all have this kind of ability."

  Chu Ping was shocked, he didn't expect that these four strange creatures in front of him all had innate divine abilities!

  Before he could speak, Tianji Zi smiled and said, "The disciples of Lianyun Sword Sect and Penglai Immortal Sect have clashed again, not far from our island. Let's sink the island into the sea first, if you're interested, we can go take a look!"
