Divine Beast Enters Town

The sermon ended, and Ma Feifei's Side Quest was successfully completed. The system notified him the moment Ma Feifei returned to the Bookstore.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the Side Quest 'Everyone Cultivate Immortality Together!' The Spell Shop now officially open. You can purchase various spells here, or resell them to fellow readers."

After hearing the system notification, Ma Feifei couldn't wait to enter the System Shop, find the Spell Shop category, and look at the dazzling array of spells, his eyes lighting up.

"Supernatural Powers - Dharma Heaven and Earth."

"From Journey to the West, once mastered, one's body can stretch and contract freely, reaching as high Thirty-Three Heavens and as low as the Eighteen Levels of Hell."

Price: Ten million Spirit Crystal or equivalent Book Qi Points.

"Supernatural power - Soaring Cloud Riding Mist."

"From 'Journey to the West,' after mastering this skill, one can Soaring Cloud Riding Mist, travel the four seas, and enjoy the beauty of a thousand mountains."

Price: Ten million Spirit Crystal or equivalent Book Qi Points.

"Supernatural power - Universe in the Sleeve."

"From 'Gong Xian' in 'Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio,' it means that after learning this skill, one can store all things in their sleeves."

Price: Five million Spirit Crystal or equivalent Book Qi Points.

"Supernatural power - the Transformation Technique."

"From the 'Record of Buddhist Kingdoms,' it can transform living beings into human form after mastering its skills."

Price: Five million Spirit Crystal or equivalent Book Qi Points.

The sheer number was countless. Besides the ones mentioned above, Ma Feifei also saw various other magical Divine Abilities and Spells, such as 'External Incarnation, Shrink the Earth to an Inch, Bamboo Staff Transforming into a Dragon, and Scattering Beans into Soldiers'.

Apart from the slightly higher price, it has no other flaws.

But for Ma Feifei, who now possesses a staggering 3.5 billion yuan, are these expensive? They're just a drop in the ocean! We don't even need to use our Book Qi Points to buy them; when you're rich, you can do whatever you want!

"This Transformation Technique is a bit of a rip-off! What use is such a supernatural power to a cultivator? Get out of here, get out of here, where are my Seventy-Two Transformations?"

"Soaring Cloud Riding Mist the clouds? You think you can be a background character? Get down, get down! Bring out my Monkey King's Somersault Cloud, diu~diu~diu!"

One by one, Ma Feifei successfully purchased various supernatural abilities, which were then transformed into golden cards. The cards were engraved with exquisite patterns, and the scenes depicted in the patterns were the special effects of using the supernatural abilities. For example, the pattern for 'Soaring Cloud Riding Mist' showed an enlightened person riding on clouds and soaring through the sky.

Once you obtain this card, you can use the Dharma Power already integrated into your dantian to cover it, and with a thought, you can comprehend this spell. In the future, you only need to activate the Dharma Power in your dantian to cast it.

Just as Ma Feifei was hiding in the backyard buying Divine Abilities and Spells, a humanoid ape walked into the Zhenbei. Cultivators encountered on the way all avoided it, both frightened and puzzled.

"Quickly, go and report to Limitless Spirit Emperor that the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey has entered Dubian Town." The patrolling government officials saw the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey and immediately ordered their subordinates to return and report.

If a spirit beast enters a city unclaimed, it's a hidden bomb for any human town, let alone a Divine Beast. If it really goes berserk in Dubian Town, the entire Dubian Town could be destroyed.

At this moment, some important figures were not far away. Upon hearing the news, they rushed over, all adopting defensive stances and looking at the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey with solemn expressions.

As humans, we have an obligation to protect our towns and villages from being destroyed by these spirit beasts. This is a deep-seated belief instilled in every cultivator from the moment they embark on their cultivation journey, and this belief is especially profound for cultivators with higher levels of cultivation.

At some point, Saint Chu also appeared on this long street, silently watching the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey.

The Sky-reaching Ape Monkey seemed unaffected by the group of people. Instead, it curiously wandered around, looking at everything that seemed new and exciting to it.

"It seems to be heading towards the Mysterious Bookstore, right?" someone in the crowd asked suspiciously.

There are three roads leading into Dubian Town from the North Town Entrance: one straight road and two roads to the left and right. The Mysterious Bookstore is located on the middle straight road. Walk two miles along this straight road from the North Town Entrance to reach the Mysterious Bookstore.

"Could it be that they're going to seek revenge on the shop owner?" A cultivator suddenly recalled the scene of the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey being suppressed by the shop owner before the sermon began and asked worriedly.

"No way, although it's a spirit beast, it's not stupid. How could it possibly contend with someone like the shopkeeper?" A cultivator refuted this claim. In this situation, spirit beasts are actually far more intelligent than humans. They believe in the survival of the fittest, and once someone defeats it, it will never have the thought of resisting again. If they meet again in the future, it will run away as soon as it smells the scent. Revenge is simply out of the question.

If the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey wasn't there to cause trouble, then why did it enter Dubian Town in the first place?

"Dean, should we take action to drive it out?" Zhou Wuji had already arrived at the scene and stood beside Saint Chu, asking in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Saint Chu shook his head thoughtfully and said in a deep voice, "It seems to have awakened its intelligence."

"Intelligence?" Zhou Wuji was taken aback. Aren't all high-level spirit beasts intelligent? Some spirit beasts are even more intelligent than humans, not to mention Divine Beast like the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey.

Saint Chu seemed to know Zhou Wuji's thoughts and continued, "This Sky-reaching Ape Monkey is a descendant of the Stone Monkey, one of the Ten Ancient Divine Beast. Records in Ancient Secrets state that the Stone Monkey is different from other Divine Beast; its intelligence is closed at birth. If it does not obtain an opportunity to awaken its intelligence, it will remain an ordinary Divine Beast for its entire life and will never evolve into the Stone Monkey, one of the Ten Ancient Divine Beast."

"Legend has it that before the Five Nations of Canglong were even established, it already lived within the Hundred Thousand Mountains. However, due to the towering peaks and treacherous terrain of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, few people ventured to search for the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey. Thirteen hundred years ago, I went to the Hundred Thousand Mountains in search of an opportunity and was fortunate enough to see this ape. At that time, it was a beast that drank raw meat and ate blood, devoid of any humanity, quite different from the one it is now. The Sky-reaching Ape Monkey of today, I can even faintly sense a divine nature within it. I imagine it will soon be able to fully inherit the bloodline of its ancestors and become one of the Ten Great Divine Beast of antiquity."

Zhou Wuji was deeply shaken. The most revered of the Ten Ancient Divine Beast was a divine Divine Beast on par with immortals. In the thirty thousand years since the Azure Dragon, neither immortals nor ancient Divine Beast had ever possessed such a beast.

Now that this Sky-reaching Ape Monkey has awakened its intelligence and possesses divinity, it has the prerequisite to become the supreme ancient divine Divine Beast.

Given the current environment, can this Sky-reaching Ape Monkey truly evolve into Stone Monkey?

Zhou Wuji glanced at the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey with a questioning look, then at Saint Chu.

"After all, even Saint Chu suffered repeated setbacks on his path to immortality, so how could a Stone Monkey that has just gained sentience possibly break through this curse?"

Saint Chu remained silent. He didn't try to guess what Zhou Wuji was thinking at this moment, or perhaps he simply didn't want to. His gaze was fixed on the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey below. At this moment, the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey had arrived at the entrance of the Mysterious Bookstore and stopped there.

Everyone tensed up, staring intently at the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey.

The Mysterious Bookstore had been closed for nine days due to a sermon. Today, the sermon had just ended, and Ma Feifei was too lazy to open for business. He instructed Zhang Yunji and the others to clean the Bookstore thoroughly and do a thorough Tidy Up.

So the Mysterious Bookstore is not open today, but Bookstore doors are still open.

The Sky-reaching Ape Monkey stood at the entrance of the Mysterious Bookstore Bookstore, curiously observing the scene inside.
