Right now, Fang Chen needed to race against time, racing against the Grim Reaper.
After all, his cultivation was too low, which made it difficult for him to move around in the Cliff of Death. It was too difficult to get a ghost weapon, and he might even die.
This broken space was simply the best place for him to cultivate. His heart was filled with gratitude towards Leng Xian.
"Continue."
In such a short amount of time, his cultivation had already recovered to the peak of Saint Kinghood. Furthermore, he could feel that the power hidden within him was flowing endlessly. Once it was fully activated, he had hopes of reaching the peak of Saint Kinghood in a single step.
Of course.
Many things had happened in the outside world while he was cultivating, especially in the forbidden zone.
The old white ape was surrounded by dense towering trees. His ears moved slightly, and he could hear the sound of a stream coming from afar. He stood quietly, and his eyes flickered as if he was thinking about something.
Not long ago, he saw Tiger Lord's disciple cultivating in the forbidden zone. He was shocked. Did Tiger Lord not die back then?
If Venerable Hu was still alive, what about the other three Venerables under Supreme Fu Jian's command?
Was Lord Pluto still alive?
A series of questions came to his mind.
However, just as he was deep in thought, his surroundings suddenly fell silent. Even the stream stopped flowing, and a huge palm face appeared in front of him.
As soon as the face appeared, the entire world was covered by a heavy power. It was extremely oppressive.
The old white ape bowed deeply to the face and said, "Greetings, Emissary."
As a subordinate tribe of the primitive tribes, the white apes had a very low status. In fact, they were equivalent to the primitive tribes' fighters, and they dealt with things that the primitive tribes didn't want to do.
For example, they took care of Fang Chen in the Dragon-slaying Cave.
The old white ape knew that the face in front of him was the emissary between the primitive tribes and the white ape tribe.
As for the real primitive tribes, he had never seen them.
"Do you know why I called you here?"
The giant face wriggled, and a quaint and majestic voice echoed in the old white ape's mind. The latter shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
However, he guessed that this matter was most likely related to Fang Chen.
"Leng Xian has recovered."
The giant face's next sentence made the old white ape instantly fall into a daze.
After a long while, he finally regained his senses. His pitch-black eyes stared intently at the giant face as he hurriedly asked, "Lord Messenger, where is Leng Xian?"
Clearly, the old white ape also knew Leng Xian, and from the looks of it, they had some interactions.
"She's at the Cliff of Death. She's with Fang Chen now."
"Her revival means that the plan back then has failed completely. She also knows that she is using the last of her strength to condense Fang Chen's Nascent Divinity."
Dao Manifestation of the Primordial Spirit?
Old White Ape immediately thought of this, but he soon shook his head and smiled bitterly. It was extremely difficult to manifest one's Primordial Spirit. Fang Chen had only cultivated for a few years. Since ancient times, there had been countless geniuses who had been stuck at this bottleneck. Some had even paid the price of their lives but still failed to manifest their Dao.
"Why would she do that?"
Old White Ape said bitterly. Leng Xian had already fallen back then. What had recovered now was just an obsession. If she helped Fang Chen's Nascent Divinity to manifest his Dao, she would eventually die completely and her soul would be scattered.
For a cultivator, the scattering of one's soul meant that one would completely disappear from the world.
"The Devouring Demon Clan has been restless recently. The four major divisions are trying their best to recruit people. I summoned you here because I've received a mission from the clan."
The giant face messenger said, "Lead the clan out of the Life Forbidden Zone and go to the four major divisions. Create trouble for them and try your best to kill the geniuses of the Devouring Demon Clan."
Old White Ape's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Then, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
After so many years, the primitive tribes were finally willing to let the White Ape Clan reappear in the world?
Old White Ape's memories gradually flashed.
Back then, when he was with Lord Ming, the general under Fu Jian, they had fought fiercely against the Devouring Demon Clan. After that, he had lived in the Life Forbidden Zone for countless years and worked for the primitive tribes.
"Alright, I'll go back and prepare now." Old White Ape suppressed the excitement in his heart and cupped his fists.
"Whoosh!"
The giant face opened its bloody mouth and a jade pendant floated in front of Old White Ape. Old White Ape instinctively caught it with his hand. Immediately, a gentle power entered his palm.
"You've lived in the Life Forbidden Zone for many years. Now that you've reappeared, you'll be rejected by the Heavenly Way of the Source World. Carry this jade pendant with you at all times and cannot be damaged in the slightest. It can help you hide the secrets of the heavens."
The giant face messenger warned, "Remember, once the jade pendant is damaged, you must return to the Life Forbidden Zone as quickly as possible. Otherwise, your clan will be annihilated."
Old White Ape's heart trembled. Of course, he did not think that the giant face messenger was joking.
He committed the giant face messenger's words to memory and quickly returned to the White Ape Clan.
Buzz!
After he left, the fog dissipated and Tiger Master's disciple appeared in front of him.
"Whoosh!"
He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the giant face messenger. "You let the White Ape Clan reappear to create trouble for the four major divisions and kill the geniuses of the Devouring Demon Clan. Are you purposely attracting the attention of the Devouring Demon Clan and buying time for Fang Chen?"
The giant face messenger was silent.
Tiger Master's disciple continued to ask, "Since you've helped the Chaotic Realm so much, why did you refuse when Supreme Venerable Fu Jian brought Master and the others to the Life Forbidden Zone?"
"The primitive clans are very complicated. It's not what you see."
The giant face messenger sighed. "Cultivate well. There are less than three years until the test. If you fail, only death awaits you."
"Whoosh!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the giant face in the sky dissipated. Tiger Master's disciple's eyes flashed with determination.
"I will succeed."
…
At the Cliff of Death.
The ancestors of the monster clans joined forces with Madman Jian to suppress Princess Huang and took away her token. However, no matter how they tried to control it, the token dimmed.
In the end, they gave up.
They stared at Princess Huang and threatened, "Now, we'll give you one last chance to live, as long as you're willing to cooperate with us."
"Hmph, you want me to cooperate? Dream on," Princess Huang said coldly.
The token was given to her by her Master. It was a token of the primitive clans. No one else could control it except her.
Obviously, the ancestors of the monster clans and Madman Jian were aware of this, so they did not kill her.
"I'd like to see how hard your mouth can be."
Madman Jian held a long sword in his hand and was about to stab Princess Huang, but he was stopped by the ancestors of the monster clans.
"My clan has a soul-searching technique."
