Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader

The tale spoke of two ends,

While Jiang Dali searched the cave to find if any Kunlun Immortal Peaches or such exotic fruits still existed,

At the Zhuwu Linked Rings in the manor atop the mountain, Zhu Changling walked to the edge of the cliff with furrowed brows, escorted by two youngsters from his household, overlooking the rain-drenched, cloud-enveloped valley below, secretly marveling.

”Daddy, what is there to see down this cliff? It’s still raining and quite cold, let’s go back?”

A curious girl about five or six years old looked up and asked Zhu Changling.

Beside her, a much older boy holding an umbrella also looked on curiously.

”Mm!”

Zhu Changling, with a somber expression, stroked his beard and said, ”Just now, Daddy heard the cry of an eagle from inside the house and saw a rather majestic eagle dive from the sky towards the valley below. Curiosity got the better of me, so I came to look.”

”A big eagle? Where, where?”

Both the boy and the girl suddenly peered excitedly towards the below.

But the deep valley beneath the cliff was shrouded in a curtain of rain — how could they see clearly?

However, Zhu Changling grew more thoughtful about the eagle he had seen. The more he thought, the more it felt wrong.

”That eagle doesn’t look like a local creature at all. It rather resembles the Sword Gate Demon Hawk, but I wonder why it would appear near my Zhu family’s territory. Could there be people from the Demon Sect nearby Kunlun?”

At this thought, Zhu Changling grew worried.

Since Wu Lie was not currently in the manor, he was short of help. He immediately decided to leave, brushing his sleeve and saying, ”Let’s go back.”

Having sent the two youngsters back,

Zhu Changling displayed his movement technique, sweeping towards the foot of the mountain like flowing water or clouds, each leap covering a distance of several meters, fast like spirits or demons of the mountains.

...

Inside the cave,

Jiang Dali indeed did not find any Kunlun Immortal Peaches.

Not to mention an Immortal Peach — he did not even see a peach pit.

He conjectured that even if there had been such things, they would have been eaten clean by the White Ape over the years, leaving nothing behind.

The White Ape had been living in the cave for years, drinking water from the mountain spring in the cave and eating ordinary wild fruits from ancient trees, nothing unusual there.

However, though he did not find the Immortal Peach, Jiang Dali did unexpectedly come across something else valuable.

It was the piece of White Jade Stone under which the White Ape had been sitting.

This White Jade Stone turned out to be the very rare Ice Soul Jade Stone, possessing the magical properties of calming the mind and enhancing inspiration.

It seems White Ape’s ability to communicate like an exotic beast and its impressive strength and human-like nature might not only be the merit of the Immortal Peach but also of this Ice Soul Jade Stone.

This was an unexpected discovery indeed.

Jiang Dali, as a seasoned individual, was unaware that a cave harboring the Nine Yang Divine Skill could contain such an exotic item.

The records mentioned that Zhang Wuji had cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Skill to great success in just four months within the cave, which might also be an effect of this Ice Soul Jade Stone.

However, Zhang Wuji was still a child then, with limited experience and shallow insights, probably unaware of this.

Even Jiang Dali learned about it from a panel prompt.

”This jade stone really is a treasure. After experiencing its effects, I’ll see whether I can dig it out and take it back to the Mountain Village as the village’s treasure. Hahaha.”

Jiang Dali took out the scripture containing the ”Nine Yang Divine Skill,” sat cross-legged, and began to comprehend the scripture.

Almost instantly, his heart calmed, like a still ancient well, taking joy from nothing external, nor sorrow from himself.

Reading the Divine Skill now, the spots that previously seemed obscure now seemed to offer a sudden understanding.

At the same time, the string of prayer beads on his wrist seemed to undergo a strange transformation, creating a chain reaction with the Ice Soul Jade Stone beneath him, immersing him even further.

”I hadn’t expected the Calamity Relief Beads given by Monk Mengyi to take effect right now...”

Jiang Dali’s lips curved into a slight smile, natural and not overly joyous, yet even more immersed in the comprehension of his divine skill.

Inside his body, his inner Qi seemed to be subtly guided by opportunity, responding to the Nine Yang Divine Skill’s practice route.

”Nine Yang Divine Skill proficiency +1!”

”Nine Yang Divine Skill proficiency +1!”

”...”

A series of white numbers quickly floated up from above Jiang Dali’s head.

His comprehension of the Nine Yang Divine Skill also began to rise rapidly, unexpectedly entering the rare state of Sudden Enlightenment within the Mixed Martial Arts World.

...

The night breeze whispered through, rustling the branches and leaves of the mountain trees wildly.

Zhu Changling appeared ghost-like at the mouth of the valley, his gaze only briskly scanning the environment before he knew guests had visited, and in considerable numbers.

His gaze grew even deeper, he strolled leisurely into the valley as if wandering in his own backyard.

As a descendant of Zhu Ziliu, his ancestor was South Emperor Yideng, who had mastered the Earth-rank Ultimate Skill, One Yang Finger.

Zhu Changling’s status in this part of the Martial World was very high; even Sect Leader He Taichong of Kunlun showed him great respect.

Yet, the pride and ambition deep within Zhu Changling’s heart were unknown to outsiders; it was just that he constantly lacked opportunities.

Now inside the valley and considering that the visitors might be the rabble of the Demon Sect, Zhu Changling snorted softly and let out a long howl.

”Which friends visit my Zhuwu Linked Rings in the dead of night? Please, show yourselves!”

His voice, clear like a wolf baying at the moon, resonated throughout the valley, creating echoes that dispersed far and wide.

The Bloodthirsty Guild and other players waiting for Jiang Dali were all taken aback; those near the mouth of the valley quickly ran to look and saw Zhu Changling at the entrance, his body cloaked in a dark purple glow.

”Shit, it’s a Big Boss!”

”Not good, this might be the manor owner of Zhuwu Linked Rings that the Hero mentioned.”

”We’ve been careful enough, how did we still end up drawing this Big Boss here? It’s all over, we might have messed up the mission.”

The members of the Bloodthirsty Guild walked out one by one, and upon seeing Zhu Changling standing with his hands behind his back and a stern expression at the mouth of the valley, they all felt increasingly nervous.

When Zhu Changling saw the players emerging, he could not help but frown in confusion, ”Are these... those Strange People that have appeared recently? It must be.”

Upon hearing the players utter the words ”Shit,” Zhu Changling instantly understood the origin of this group.

Only those recently emerged, weak Undying Strange People, would constantly utter such inexplicable phrases.

But why so many Strange People here?

”These Strange People behave oddly; could they be related to the Demon Sect? Could the mystery of their immortality be linked to the Demon Sect?”

Zhu Changling suddenly thought of this possibility, and his expression changed slightly.

People from the Demon Sect acted bizarrely and unpredictably, just like these Strange People.

And since Strange People seemed to appear out of nowhere, it felt problematic and truly likely to be the work of the Demon Sect.

With this thought, Zhu Changling’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, he yelled out and charged into the valley, lunging directly at the nearest player.

That player hardly had the chance to resist, only feeling a blur as a rapidly moving shadow approached instantly.

The gusting wind nearly forced his eyes shut, and the next moment his neck tightened, a feeling of suffocation surging towards him.

”Speak, are you part of the Demon Sect?”
