Chapter Thirty-Five, The Golden Light of Transcendence, The Wooden Immortal's Hut

  Hawthorn is about to go out, second watch will be back again!

  "Brother, wait for me!"

  A cry echoed from the Fire Cloud Cave, and with the cry, two beams of golden and red light shot out and soared into the high sky.

  A moment later, a green light wrapped around a giant green dragon also flew out, chasing towards the high sky. All around was a vast expanse of clear blue sky, and there was no longer any sign of those two streaks of light.

  "Hum, bad brother!"

  That green dragon spat out human words, fell to the ground and transformed into a 7 or 8-year-old girl. She was pretty and lovely, with red lips and white teeth. At this moment, she stared at the distant sky with her almond-shaped eyes wide open, pouting her mouth and muttering to herself.

  It was indeed the little girl Qing from the Huoyun Cave, and those two golden and red shadows were naturally Hong Haier and Xiao Hong.

  "Not taking me out to play, bad brother, bad Xiao Hong. I even specially gave you delicious food." Xiang Qing thought, but clenched her fist in anger and walked to the edge of the dry pine stream, lightly kicking a small stone.

  "Boom!" The stone didn't fall into the valley, but instead hit the rocky mountain on the opposite bank, striking out a black hole about ten feet in diameter...

  "Achoo!"

  But at this moment, Hong Haier had a self-satisfied expression on his face, setting up the golden light of the earth, floating in the clouds and fog, but in his heart, he was secretly laughing, fortunately, he ran fast, otherwise, he would be stuck to Xiao Qing again.

  "Woof woof!"

  A blood-colored light flashed and disappeared like a shadow, tied behind the Red Boy's body, it was Xiao Hong, the Blood Beast that had transformed into a small dog.

  "Little Red, you can't catch up with me!" But Hong Haier just smiled and cast a spell to speed up his escape. In an instant, he transformed into a golden glow and shot out of sight.

  "Woof woof!"

  When she heard Hong Haier's words, Xiaohong showed a hint of flattery, but after seeing Hong Haier disappear, she was somewhat puzzled. She raised her head and looked around in all directions, sniffing with her large nostrils twice, and then revealed a joyful expression.

  Then he fixed his direction and transformed into a red light, rushing away quickly.

  "Heh heh, Xiao Hong, this golden light of mine is the 36 Transformations of Heaven's Wrath, a great divine power. How can you possibly catch up to me?"

  After counting his breaths, thousands of miles away, Red Boy was lying on a auspicious cloud sunbathing, with some complacent tone.

  "Woof woof!"

  Who would have thought that Cao Cao would arrive, a red light flashed and came to the front, but it was Xiao Hong's figure. Still a small dog of about three feet, but if one is a person with deep skills, they should be able to feel the powerful and violent power contained within this little dog.

  "Ah, okay, you win." Hong Haier took a glance at the little red pouncing on him and saw that mouthful of saliva, so he hastily stood up.

  "Woof!" Seemingly a bit resentful, Xiaohong walked forward and rubbed her head against Honghai's ankle.

  "Alright."

  Hong Haier saw this, but he just smiled silently, bent down to pick him up, and gently patted Xiao Hong's head, saying: "Don't think that the innate divine ability is powerful. Wait until my cultivation breaks through, then I'll use this Earthly Golden Light Technique again. At that time, you won't even be able to catch up with a galloping horse."

  "Woof! Woof!" seemed to be completely unimpressed by Hong Haier's words, but Xiao Hong stretched out her limbs in Hong Haier's arms and gazed at him sideways with her eyes.

  "Haha!" Hong Haier saw this, but no longer argued. In his heart, he also sighed secretly. Xiao Hong was a Blood Beast of the Netherworld, with extremely strong blood power. Unfortunately, it was also trapped by the Heavenly Way and couldn't transform.

  Its defense, strength and even speed are not inferior to many divine beasts, and it is also a congenital spiritual technique that can instantly move millions of miles, which is comparable to the muscle-fighting cloud under the Five Elements Mountain.

  It is said that even the Ancestor of the Nether River, when creating the technique, had also studied the Blood Beast tribe. From this, it can be seen that the family's mother's mount was absolutely not weaker than the father king's Qilin descendant, Bixi Jinjing Beast.

  Thinking about it, the escape technique of the Blood Beast clan seems to be recorded in the Blood God classics as well, but I don't know how it compares to the Golden Light of Freedom. Because most of the blood path techniques are overbearing and even hurt people and themselves, so Hong Haier only briefly studied many of these techniques.

  Now thinking about it, why not take another day to comprehend those uncomprehended skills as well?

  "Woof woof!" Just then, Little Red in his arms let out a cry, startling the Red Boy awake.

  "Is there an evil spirit?"

  Awakened by Xiaohong, Hong Haier suddenly realized that his home was on a cloud, drifting and swaying with the wind, and had already arrived at a certain place. Thick demonic energy gathered in the surrounding clouds and fog, which seemed to be some small demons, unable to even restrain their own demonic energy.

  But then I became curious, and stood at the edge of the cloud to look down. Below, there was a huge mountain range stretching across, and it was early spring, with a beautiful view. All I saw was:

  The earth is far and the sky is near, with misty rain. The winding path is soft and lush, with green mountains and trees stretching out. The dense and delicate new leaves are unfolding, and the fragrance of flowers is wafting through the air. In the distance, it's hard to see where it all ends, but up close, it's like a vast expanse of green clouds. The atmosphere is hazy and lush, with the sound of the wind rustling and the sun shining brightly. Among them are pines, cypresses, and bamboo, as well as plum blossoms, willows, and mulberry trees. Wisteria vines entwine ancient trees, and grapevines wrap around weeping willows. The scenery is like a beautifully crafted brocade, with flowers blooming in every direction, filling the air with fragrance.

  "What is this?" Hong Haier saw this and was somewhat puzzled, and followed the faint and elusive aura to search, but saw a mountain valley with a smoky stone house, surrounded by mist, vaguely visible with plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos, and chrysanthemums, and tall-standing pines.

  Also seen on the stone house plaque are three ancient seals, which are the three large characters "Wood Immortal Hut", and suddenly enlightened.

  It turned out that this was the 800-mile thorny ridge outside the country of Ji in Journey to the West, where there were demons, and it was a famous person in Journey to the West.

  They were the Eighteen Arhats, the Lonely Ones, the Suspended-in-Air, the Cloud-Sweepers and others like the Red-Haired Ghost and the Apricot Immortal.

  These several people are all plants that have attained the Dao, namely the fir tree, the cypress tree, the pine tree, bamboo, the maple tree and the apricot tree. According to Journey to the West, there should also be two plum blossoms and two osmanthus trees, which serve as maids for Xianglian.

  These monsters were extremely bold, and that eighteen-year-old alone dared to pretend to be the local earth god to deliver food to Tang Monk. After being discovered, he even used magic to capture Tang Monk.

  She had never harmed Tang San, but instead discussed poetry and scriptures with him. What's more, the apricot fairy found Tang San to be handsome and talented, wanting to be with him and find a match.

  Who would have thought that Tang Monk was a real monk, neither hard nor soft, and could drink tea and talk poetry with the various demons, but he absolutely refused to compromise with Apricot Immortal. In the end, he enraged all the demons, fortunately, Monkey King and Pigsy arrived at this place, and they managed to escape.

  And these monsters, although they didn't do anything bad, were all killed by the greedy old pig with a nail rake, ruining the merits of the Western Journey. Pitifully, after cultivating for thousands of years, they all became paintings on cakes in an instant.

  It can only be blamed on these monsters for having no vision and no background.

  At this thought, Hong Haier suddenly remembered that his own Fire Cloud Cave was currently "expanding and renovating", although most of it was just gardening work. However, the many young demons in the cave were sometimes clumsy and inept. These few plant demons on Thorny Ridge were all quite skilled, why not recruit them to help with the gardening instead?

  Thinking of it, she took a glance at the Blood Beast in her arms and made up her mind to head towards the mountain valley where the Wooden Immortal's Abode was located...
