Subduing a Divine Beast
This descendant of one of the ten ancient mythical Divine Beast was trampled under Ma Feifei's feet. Its huge body could not move at all, and it could only open its mouth wide and gasp for breath, its eyes filled with resentment and sorrow.
"Not so cocky now, huh?" Ma Feifei jumped down from the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey's head, turned to look at the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey's eyes, patted its head, and couldn't be more smug.
'Look... I, Ma Feifei, usually don't make a move, but when I do, it's a Divine Beast, and I crush it all the way through. How cool is that! Don't tell Laozi I could do it too. If you're so capable, then you go ahead and try...' Feeling the intense gazes directed at him from all around, Ma Feifei thought to himself with satisfaction.
"Whoosh~" The Sky-reaching Ape Monkey breathed heavily as its body began to slowly Minimize until it was the same height as a human. Ma Feifei estimated that it was only a little over two meters tall.
As the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey Minimize its body, the golden characters on its back also Minimize, with 1,145 characters densely covering its back like a garment.
"This 'Book Spirit Protects Master' skill is still useful." The Epic-grade- quality book, the Three Character Classic had been injected into Ma Feifei's body, transformed into a beam of light and shot out from Ma Feifei's body, returning to its original form.
However, the golden characters on the back of the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey had not faded. These characters were read out by Ma Feifei using the Sound of the Great Dao. They were in physical form, and the Book Spirit Protects Master skill would not affect the golden characters even if it was stopped. Moreover, only Ma Feifei could retrieve them; no one else could.
"You should be able to understand me, right? You only have one choice now, and that is to submit to me, understand?" Ma Feifei squatted down, looked at the whimpering Sky-reaching Ape Monkey, and said.
He had to complete the system task; otherwise, not only would he not receive the reward, but it would also prevent Ma Feifei from taking on the next task, resulting in significant losses.
"Hmph!" The Sky-reaching Ape Monkey seemed unable to speak, so it snorted heavily through its nose and turned its head away from Ma Feifei. Clearly, it rejected Ma Feifei's suggestion.
"Hmm... it seems it's not cooperating!" Ma Feifei stroked his chin, looking at the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey. He didn't know what to do about its stubbornness. After thinking it over, he simply let it go and turned to leave.
This scene puzzled the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey. It was certain that it could understand what Ma Feifei was saying, and it had prepared to fight back and get beaten up. However, Ma Feifei just asked a question casually and then left, which was a bit beyond the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey's expectations.
Not only the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey, but even the powerful figures watching from the surrounding area were suspicious. Normally, when suppressing a spirit beast, if the beast was strong, the person would choose to subdue it as a battle pet; if it was weak, they would simply kill it and extract valuable internal cores, fur, teeth, etc.
Not to mention that the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey is a Divine Beast. To this day, no one on the Azure Dragon Continent has been able to obtain a Divine Beast battle pet, let alone dare to even think about it. The shop owner clearly had this opportunity, but unexpectedly gave it up.
"The shopkeeper has given up on this Divine Beast, so can we give it a try?" A powerful figure looked at the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey lying on the ground, his eyes filled with Covet, swallowed hard, and said.
"You can give it a try," a powerful figure beside him urged, but with a mocking expression on his face. The other powerful figures around him looked at him as if he were a fool.
"Ahem... I was just joking." The important figure seemed to realize he had been a bit presumptuous, and said tremulously.
The scene of Ma Feifei personally suppressing this Divine Beast was enough to make all the important figures completely abandon any other thoughts at this moment. No one who has climbed to this level is a fool. Brain-dead people with below-average intelligence can only be seen in certain novels, and there certainly won't be any here.
Regardless of whether the shopkeeper would accept it or not, this Divine Beast was not something their group could possibly handle. Everyone knew that, and besides, how easy was it to tame Divine Beast?
"However, I am becoming more and more confident about this sermon," an elderly man with white hair said with a hint of excitement as he watched Ma Feifei's departing figure.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement and sighed with emotion.
Although the Mysterious Bookstore touted its ability to grant people the chance to become immortals, not many people actually believed it, especially these newly emerged old monsters. They were well aware of the difficulty of becoming immortals. In the past 30,000 years, countless geniuses had appeared on the Azure Dragon Continent, yet not a single one had stepped into the Immortal Realm. How could a single lecture possibly achieve that?
However, after the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore subdued the Divine Beast, the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey, with his bare hands, everyone began to have a slightly different subjective opinion about this sermon. The credibility of the sermon increased rapidly. While not 100% new, people believed it to a great extent.
The reason for this is not only because Ma Feifei suppressed the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey, but also because everyone is eager to find a way to enter the Immortal Realm. It's like when you Covet something, even if that thing doesn't actually exist, you still try your best to obtain it through your own efforts.
This is the goal, the goal of cultivation, the hope, the hope of becoming an immortal.
"Hope? Hope is impossible. If I could make you immortal, I, Ma Feifei, would admit defeat." In the backyard of the Mysterious Bookstore, Ma Feifei lay on a rocking chair, munching on watermelon as he muttered.
Tomorrow is July 15th, the day of the sermon. Under the pressure from the group of old monsters these past few days, Ma Feifei finally couldn't resist the Captivate five million Spirit Crystal for a seat and secretly opened the back door for them, allowing these old monsters who did not have the qualifications to listen to the sermon to listen to the sermon outside the Pokémon Arena, which is in this twenty-mile-long plum grove.
Ma Feifei originally intended to include as many people as possible, since the twenty-mile-long Li Forest could accommodate quite a few. However, he later realized that it wouldn't be of much use to those Spirit Venerable and Spirit King cultivators even if they listened, and they were also poor. If they were included, they probably wouldn't even be able to afford the five million Spirit Crystal entrance fee. In the end, he simply set the threshold high, allowing only cultivators at the Spirit Emperor level or above to use the back door and pay five million Spirit Crystal to gain this opportunity.
The final number of participants also startled Ma Feifei. A total of seven hundred people signed up for the second round, which means that there are now at least seven hundred cultivators in Dubian Town at the Spirit Emperor level or above!
What does this mean? If all of this were taken out, it could probably wipe out an entire country!
Of course, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that through the second registration, Ma Feifei gained a total of 3.5 billion Spirit Crystal. This time, he registered directly at the Mysterious Bookstore, without going through the Wantong Trading Market, and all 3.5 billion went into Ma Feifei's pocket.
Now, Ma Feifei has not only paid off his loan, but also possesses assets of 3.5 billion Spirit Crystal. He walks with a 'thump thump thump~' of wind, taking huge strides.
As for the outcome of this sermon, Ma Feifei said he was fearless. After all, he was only talking about the opportunity to become an immortal, not actually making someone an immortal. If it didn't work out, he could just do a long-term one... reciting the sermon for them once a month until they died...
