The Ancient Spirit Clan Speaks of the Past!

"Although I have received the Old Ancestor, I know very little. Please enlighten me, senior." Six-Eared Macaque respectfully bowed to the old man.

The elder at the head nodded slightly. "Very well, since you have already received the inheritance, and my Ancient Spirit Clan and the Demon Ape Clan also have a long history, it won't hurt to tell you."

"Back then, the Nine Extremes Divine Emperor followed the White Emperor in his conquests across the land. Your Demon Ape Clan was already a formidable force. Even if the Nine Extremes Divine Emperor encountered an ordinary Emperor Realm expert, he would still have the strength to fight. His strength was only a hair's breadth away from the Emperor Realm."

"But that great battle was too brutal, and almost all the powerful races in the Hundun were involved to some extent."

"That battle could be said to have been a matter of life and death for Hundun. He was besieged by a powerful enemy. That enemy set a vicious trap, used a divine artifact to seal most of his power, and then forced him into a desperate situation."

"Then you were ambushed again. The Nine Extremes Divine Emperor used his last breath to preserve the bloodline of your Demon Ape Clan. As for the details, I will not go into them with you. Perhaps you will know them in the future."

"Senior, there is something I don't understand. Our Old Ancestor once said that this is only a branch of the Demon Ape Clan. Does that mean that there are other members of our Demon Ape Clan?"

After a long silence, the old man in blue robes finally spoke slowly, "Your Demon Ape Clan has no other members left; they were all slaughtered long ago..."

"What? They've all been slaughtered?? Who could have done this??"

Upon hearing this, Six-Eared Macaque clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot, his heart filled with resentment.

The old man in green waved his hand, and a Qingfeng brushed across Six-Eared Macaque's face, allowing Six-Eared Macaque to recover.

"Child, you cannot know who did it yet. When you are strong enough and find your people, you will understand."

After a pause, the old man slowly spoke again, "However, even on the verge of death, he severely damaged the enemy's main force, turning the tide of the battle. It's just that he himself was exhausted and near death."

"His soul is scattered throughout the world. His legacy has been hidden, waiting for a destined person. Now it has been passed on to you. Even if he has passed away, he can rest in peace."

After the old man finished speaking, he gave Six-Eared Macaque a deep look.

"This junior will certainly live up to the expectations of the Old Ancestor and restore the prestige of my Demon Ape Clan." Six-Eared Macaque's gaze was firm.

"Don't be impatient. Although you have now received the inheritance, your cultivation level is still too low. There are many difficulties and dangers ahead, so you must not rush forward."

"Senior, if I may ask, how did you come to know such detailed information? Did you also participate in that battle?"

The old man in blue smiled slightly, "It seems you still don't understand my Ancient Spirit Clan."

Six-Eared Macaque scratched his head sheepishly and said, "This junior truly does not know."

"Our Ancient Spirit Clan is not known for its formidable fighting strength, but rather for its ability to foresee the future and thus secure its place in this Hundun."

"However, since that battle, my Ancient Spirit Clan has gone into seclusion and come to this Mist Forest to eke out a living."

"Oh? I didn't know your race's innate abilities were so remarkable. I wonder if there are any limitations to your foresight?" Six-Eared Macaque asked curiously.

The old man in blue nodded slightly. "Of course there is. The more distant the matter, the more vague it becomes. Moreover, each divination consumes one's own spiritual power, so it cannot be used too often. If a person with strong divination skills is not careful, they will suffer a backlash."

Six-Eared Macaque nodded thoughtfully, "Thank you for informing me, senior."

The old man in blue robes looked at Six-Eared Macaque with a deep gaze. "Now that you have received the inheritance, you will surely be extraordinary in the future. This Mist Forest is full of dangers, but it also has great opportunities."

"Now that you are here, you should go to dangerous places to train so that you can quickly improve your strength. After passing through the depths of the Mist Forest, you will arrive at a place called Illusory Star Valley. That is the place you should go."

"However, there is also great terror deep within the Mist Forest, so you must be careful."

Six-Eared Macaque was incredibly clever; a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes in an instant. "Yes, I understand. Then I will set off immediately. But I wonder where this Illusory Star Valley is?"

The old man raised his hand to stop him, "Don't rush. After passing through the Mist Forest, you will reach the Illusory Star Valley. However, there are powerful restrictions around the Illusory Star Valley, which need to be broken using special methods. Keep your magic treasure safe, it will come in handy later."

Six-Eared Macaque bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for your help, senior. I will take my leave now."

After saying this, he turned and stepped out of the main hall.

The old man gazed at Six-Eared Macaque's retreating figure and murmured to himself, "I hope you can truly restore the Demon Ape's prestige, which would fulfill the Nine Extremes Divine Emperor's painstaking efforts."

After Six-Eared Macaque withdrew, another aged voice rang out:

"Third Brother, why talk to him so much? He's just a low-level True Lord. Do you really think he can lead the Demon Ape Clan to rise?"

"Fifth brother, whether he can or not depends on his fate. The Nine Extremes Divine Emperor has repeatedly saved our Ancient Spirit Clan. Today, let's consider it as repaying the debt."

"But, but..."

The old man in blue raised his hand to stop the other old man. "I have my own plans, you don't need to worry."

Six-Eared Macaque left the forbidden area and came to the side of the Taichu group. After some discussion, they headed towards the Mist Forest.

Six-Eared Macaque and the others from the Taichu stepped into the Mist Forest.

Soon after entering, a thick fog enveloped the surroundings, making visibility extremely blurry.

Suddenly, a sinister laugh echoed through the forest, followed by countless pairs of eerie green eyes appearing.

A giant Shadow wolf pounced first, but Six-Eared Macaque dodged it easily and threw a punch back, knocking the Shadow wolf back several feet.

As they ventured deeper, they discovered a pool of water that emitted a strange light.

Several magical herbs, exuding a rich spiritual aura, grow by the pool.

However, before they could even get close, the spirit snake guarding the immortal herb flicked its tongue and launched an attack.

Six-Eared Macaque channeled his magic power, his ears twitching slightly as he detected a flaw in the spirit snake's attack. He skillfully defused the attack and then plucked the immortal herbs to distribute to everyone.

And so, after overcoming various hardships and dangers along the way, the group gradually approached the heart of the Mist Forest.

This place is vastly different from the edge of the Mist Forest. The trees here are as tall as Tongtian Ju Zhu, and mysterious runes shimmer on the ground.

Six-Eared Macaque cautiously surveyed its surroundings, its ears constantly twitching to detect the slightest movement.

Suddenly, the sky darkened, and a gigantic, monstrous bird that blotted out the sun swooped down.

With a flap of its wings, it stirred up a gale, making everyone lose their footing.

Six-Eared Macaque formed hand seals, and his body erupted with intense golden light, transforming into a streak of Liu Guang as he rushed towards the strange bird.

Six-Eared Macaque engaged in a fierce battle with the strange bird in the air, unleashing all his skills, each punch generating wind and containing earth-shattering power.

The strange bird was not to be outdone; its sharp beak was like a blade, and each peck was accompanied by a whistling sound.

Six-Eared Macaque seized the opportunity, his ears twitched suddenly, and he caught sight of the strange bird, whose weakest point was its abdomen.

He pretended to attack the strange bird's head, and when the bird tilted its head back to dodge, he instantly changed direction and charged towards its abdomen.

With a loud shout, he struck the strange bird in the abdomen with all his might. The bird let out a mournful cry and plummeted downwards.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the mysterious runes on the ground suddenly lit up, and beams of light shot into the sky, trapping Six-Eared Macaque Taichu and his group within.
