The Demon Race's Sacred Domain: A Bloody Storm Brews
The old monk pondered for a moment and said, "If we can find those three spiritual herbs, perhaps we can refine and absorb them to increase our strength."
"Three spiritual herbs? Are you sure?" Sun Wukong asked, his eyes shining.
"That's right, I can tell you with certainty that I'm not lying. I also know exactly where those three spiritual herbs are. It's just that the protective power of those three spiritual herbs is too great, so it's very difficult for us to break through the protection by brute force. We can only use other methods to seize them."
The old monk turned his gaze to Lü Bu on the other side and said, "Lü Fengxian, I see you are a battle maniac, so I want you to come with me to the Demon Race realm. There you can use your abilities to help me find three spiritual herbs. What do you say?"
"I have no objection!" Lü Bu agreed without hesitation.
"Brother Monkey, how strong is Lü Bu?" the old monk asked Sun Wukong.
"Him? Heh heh... This kid is an absolute battle maniac. Among our Demon Race, no one but you and me can match him!"
"Oh? Is that so?" The old monk revealed a delighted expression and said, "That's truly good news. Then we'll take our leave first. You all enjoy yourselves. I'll take Lü Fengxian to the Demon Race realm first."
"Wait... Old Sun!"
Just then, Sun Wukong called out to him, laughing, "Your suggestion is not bad, but you should know one thing: Lü Bu is the strongest among the four of us. With just you alone, it's impossible for you to safely bring Lü Fengxian back to the Demon Race realm. So I suggest you let this monkey stay!"
The old monk frowned slightly and said, "Brother Monkey, I think you're overestimating your strength. With your abilities, you're considered a top-tier existence in the Three Realms the Primordial World. If I'm not mistaken, your current strength should be at the peak of the Peak Taiyi Golden Immortal, but you've never broken through to the Quasi-Sage Realm. All of this is caused by the seal within your body. The seal within you is simply too powerful. If it's not unsealed in time, I'm afraid you'll never be able to reach the Quasi-Sage realm. That's why I suggested leaving Lü Bu here. I think you wouldn't want to see your subordinate stagnate, would you? So, let Lü Fengxian follow me!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong frowned and began to ponder.
He certainly didn't want his subordinates to remain at the peak of the Peak Taiyi Golden Immortal realm forever, but his current strength was insufficient to completely break the seal, which greatly troubled him.
Seeing this, the old monk couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Monkey, I know this is difficult for you, but I advise you to think about it as soon as possible. I think we don't have much time left. If we don't quickly gather all the materials for fusion, I'm afraid we won't be able to complete the fusion at all. So you'd better make a plan now, and don't let a small thing lead to a big loss. Don't come crying to me later!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong laughed and cursed, "You old codger, how dare you Curse me, Sun Wukong! Whether what you say is true or false, I will absolutely not let you succeed. Here's what we'll do: if you want to fuse those three spiritual herbs, I can give you five hundred immortal stones, but you must promise not to pocket them!"
The old monk laughed and said, "Brother Monkey, what do you mean by that? Do you think I'm such an ungrateful person? Since I've chosen to ally with you, I naturally wouldn't covet your little bit of immortal stones. Don't worry, I will definitely find those three spiritual herbs."
Sun Wukong nodded and said, "In that case, you should hurry up and prepare!"
"I see!"
The old monk nodded, then stood up and walked towards the door.
After he left, Sun Wukong turned to look at Cao Guojiu and Tieguai Li, and said with a smile, "Alright, brothers, let's go prepare those three spiritual herbs now!"
"Yes! The Monkey King is right!"
Cao Guojiu and Tieguai Li both nodded, and then followed Sun Wukong out of the main hall.
Along the way, Sun Wukong described the terrain of the Demon Race to the two men as they walked, and they were both amazed by what they heard.
The large mine that Sun Wukong mentioned is called the Crimson Flame Desert. It is the second largest mine on the Demon Race Continent that Sun Wukong founded. It produces many rare treasures and even many precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures. However, the danger there is extremely high. If you are not careful, you will lose your life there. Even if Sun Wukong and his three subordinates went there together, it was still very dangerous.
As they passed through a valley, they suddenly saw a cave within the valley filled with a very dense Demon Race Yao Qi. The Demon Race inhabitants were also active in this valley, and Sun Wukong's face immediately showed a look of astonishment when he saw them.
"Brother Monkey, there's a monster in this valley!"
"No way! Brother Monkey, these monsters actually dare to roam the Three Realms of the Primordial World Three Realms! They're practically courting death! But this time we're here to find those three spiritual herbs, not to bother with these lowly minions, so let's give up for now!"
"Alright, let's kill the Demon Race inhabitants of this valley first, and then go to the Demon Race territory, since that's the best place to go!"
Sun Wukong nodded and said, "Alright, in that case, let's kill those Demon Race inhabitants before heading to the Demon Race territory!"
After saying this, Sun Wukong, Cao Guojiu, and Tieguai Li flew towards the valley.
"Brother Monkey, the Demon Race in that valley are quite powerful. You must be careful, as some of Demon Race are far more powerful than us."
"Hehe, of course I know that, but don't worry, I'll be careful and definitely won't act rashly."
"That's good!" Cao Guojiu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
After the three of them flew to the top of the valley, Cao Guojiu and Sun Wukong immediately displayed their formidable strength and threw a punch down.
Three loud explosions rang out as Sun Wukong and Cao Guojiu's attacks instantly shattered the group of Demon Race inhabitants.
For a moment, screams filled the air.
Sun Wukong and Cao Guojiu were both astonished to see how easily their attacks had annihilated the Demon Race inhabitants in the valley.
"What impressive skills! These Demon Race inhabitants are indeed powerful. If all of them gathered together, we probably wouldn't be able to withstand them. Luckily Demon Race, we have two brothers to help us!"
"Hehe, that's not necessarily true!"
Upon hearing this, Tieguai Li laughed and said, "Monkey King Sun and Monkey King Sun brother are indeed very strong. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be no match for the two brothers. However, the number of Demon Race is vast. Even if Monkey King Sun and Monkey King Sun brother are powerful, they definitely cannot defeat these Demon Race residents. Therefore, the two brothers only need to defend, and I only need to help the two brothers at crucial moments!"
