Gathering Spirit Medicine, Breaking the Barrier
Sun Wukong was extremely anxious. He glanced at Sun Wukong with concern and asked, "Brother Monkey, we've searched all the ancient ruins around here several times, but we've found nothing. What treasures could possibly be hidden here? I think we should go back. We've already obtained enough spirit medicine; if we stay here any longer, it might delay things!"
"Alright, since you put it that way, let's go. But before we go back, let's keep looking around here. Maybe we'll find something else."
Sun Wukong thought for a moment, nodded, and agreed.
"Okay then!"
Zhunti this, Zhunti nodded and followed behind Sun Wukong, heading towards the outer perimeter of the ancient ruins, intending to leave.
Just as Sun Wukong and Zhunti were about to leave, suddenly, the space around them distorted, and a dark figure appeared beside them, blocking their path.
"Who is it? Get out of my way, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong quickly turned around and roared angrily.
As they talked, Sun Wukong and the others released their Divine Sense, trying to find out the other party's identity.
However, as soon as their Divine Sense probed out, they discovered that their Divine Sense were blocked, and they couldn't detect the other party's presence at all.
"How could this be? I am Devil Race cultivator at the Devil King Realm, and the power of my Divine Sense far surpasses that of mortals. How could I not have sensed someone lurking nearby? Could this person's cultivation be even greater than mine?"
Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong frowned and thought to himself.
"Huh? There's even a little kid here, so young, looks like he's only sixteen or seventeen, yet he's already reached the Nascent Soul Realm. And this big monkey, it even has the Early Core Formation Stage. It seems this ancient ruin is fraught with danger. But these Devil Race cultivators' corpses could be sold; maybe they'll fetch a good price, hahaha..."
Just as Sun Wukong and Zhunti were pondering this in their hearts, the Devil Race cultivator lurking nearby let out a sinister laugh, and then his figure disappeared.
Sun Wukong and Zhunti were stunned when they saw the Devil Race cultivator suddenly disappear.
Zhunti asked in shock, "Brother Monkey, who is this guy? He actually hid himself, and I didn't even notice him! His Divine Sense is also very powerful; I couldn't even sense his presence. He truly deserves to be called a great power among the Devil Race!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong frowned and said, "It seems my guess was right. We've run into big trouble. That Devil Race cultivator must be a powerful, reclusive Devil Race. His cultivation is extremely profound and unfathomable. We'd better run away quickly!"
As Sun Wukong spoke, he turned to leave.
"Brother Monkey, we can't leave! There are so many corpses and so many demonic cores here. We must clean up all the demonic cores and the corpses of those Devil Race cultivators! We can't let others benefit from this!"
Just as Sun Wukong turned around, he heard Sun Wukong's shout in his ear.
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately stopped in his tracks, turned around, glared at Sun Wukong, and scolded, "Brother Monkey, how can you be so foolish? These corpses may be precious, but they are far less valuable than our lives. Why are you still thinking about the corpses of these Devil Race cultivators? Do you think our lives are more important than these corpses? Do you know what I need most right now? I need something that can increase my merit! Do you want me to die before you?"
After Sun Wukong's reprimand, Sun Wukong eyes welled up with tears.
He never imagined that his second brother would be so foolish as to disregard the lives of the dead for the sake of these corpses. He truly didn't know how he could have given birth to such a useless teammate.
Sun Wukong sighed inwardly, "Brother Monkey, you're right. Our lives are both precious. We can't throw them away for the corpses of some worthless Devil Race cultivators. I was wrong, I was so wrong!"
Sun Wukong constantly reflected on himself, repented for his mistakes, and wanted to make amends.
At this moment, Sun Wukong was well aware of the urgency and importance of this matter. If they delayed, the two brothers would be in extreme danger, and their chances of survival would be slim. They might even lose their lives.
"No, Brother Monkey, we must leave immediately, otherwise, things might change!"
Sun Wukong gritted his teeth and said.
"Brother Monkey, alright then, since that's the case, let's hurry up and leave. I don't know why, but I have a feeling that there's some kind of danger waiting for us within this ancient ruin!"
Zhunti this, Zhunti didn't dare to hesitate and quickly said, "I'm going to fly towards the ancient ruins ahead. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the hole in a stone tablet."
Seeing this, Sun Wukong flashed and also entered the stone tablet. He and Zhunti quickly disappeared at the entrance of the ancient ruins.
Zhunti slipped into the stone tablet and flew off forward.
However, to Zhunti's surprise, Sun Wukong, who was following behind Zhunti, did not rush into the stone tablet with him. Instead, he sat down cross-legged on the spot, formed hand seals, and chanted incantations.
Sun Wukong's lips moved slightly, as if he were chanting some incantation, and the spatial fluctuations around him became increasingly intense.
"Hey, Brother Monkey, what are you doing?"
Sun Wukong's actions puzzled Sun Wukong greatly, and he couldn't help but ask Sun Wukong a question.
"Brother Monkey, at the entrance of this ancient ruin, we were met with a barrier set up by the powerful beings within. The only way to get out is by brute force. However, now that we've reached the Nascent Soul Realm, breaking the barrier requires a great deal of effort and resources. Therefore, I've come up with a plan—a secret technique—to break this barrier!"
Sun Wukong began to explain.
"Secret technique? You mean using Law Technique to attack the barrier? Brother Monkey, such secret techniques consume too much Law Power, and this barrier is also very powerful. I'm afraid even if we use this kind of Law Technique, we won't be able to completely destroy it!"
Zhunti was taken aback by Sun Wukong's words, and then said that he had not expected Sun Wukong to come up with such a method, wanting to break the barrier with his own physical body and Law Power.
