307 Mo Ningsang (1/2)

As he watched Zhou Donghuang's back become smaller and smaller, He Jin shook his head and laughed bitterly.

”This young man is really quite stubborn.”

This time, before leaving the Lightning Sword Sect, when Zhou Donghuang had visited He Jin and uttered his request, Zhou Donghuang had mentioned that he believed the Qi Dynasty would send someone to kill him.

At that point, his first words had been, ”You could simply greet those people of the Qi Dynasty and mention that you are an acquaintance of Liu Pingsheng. I'm sure they would not dare to touch you after knowing that.”

Although Liu Pingsheng was not from the Qi Dynasty and instead was from the other Transcendental Force of the Hengliu galaxy, be it the Guangling Academy Dean or Emperor Qi of the Qi Dynasty, both saw him as a mentor and as a father figure.

If Zhou Donghuang mentioned his name, the Qi Dynasty would definitely not dare to threaten him again.

However, Zhou Donghuang rejected this notion as he did not want to owe Liu Pingsheng further.

To Zhou Donghuang, the fact that Liu Pingsheng had shared his Divine Dharma knowledge with him was already an extraordinarily heartwarming and generous gesture. He did not wish for Liu Pingsheng to offer him any more favors.

…

Upon reaching the Guiyao planet, Zhou Donghuang once again felt the unique Spirit energy of the planet. ”I guess that Connate demon is still here.”

Once moonlight shone down, Zhou Donghuang began to explore the Guiyao planet in search of any clues or traces of the Connate demon, and he did not leave any rock unturned. Every area was scrutinized without anything being overlooked.

Zhou Donghuang was patient, and he remained patient despite having no progress as each day went by.

This was because he knew that being impatient would lead to him missing out on tiny details, and he would then be unable to find the breeding ground of the Connate demon.

Nevertheless, this breeding ground of the Connate demon was hidden really well. After all, there were many natural guises and traditional spells that helped to conceal it. So although the Guiyao planet was extremely strange, no one from the Hengliu galaxy was able to successfully discover its secret, even after many years.

One month went by in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Donghuang still had not met with any success.

Another month went by.

Zhou Donghuang was still unsuccessful.

Three months went by to no avail.

Nevertheless, Zhou Donghuang remained as calm and as patient as before, using his Divine Will to meticulously sweep over every corner of the Guiyao planet.

These two channels of Divine Will went in separate directions and reached out.

”I've finally found it.”

Eventually, during the fourth month of his stay on the planet, Zhou Donghuang finally managed to find a clue.

Splash!

…

Zhou Donghuang now froze before a giant waterfall in the air. The water seemed to fall from the skies, and they splashed against the mountains and rocks below. The droplets of water that bounced off managed to reach about 10 meters tall.

Zhou Donghuang's gaze was now fixated on the core of the waterfall. ”In the story of the 'Journey to the West' back on Earth, the cave was hidden within the waterfall... Is it possible that it is the same here, except that the cave of this planet births more than just a monkey?”

After muttering to himself, Zhou Donghuang first shook his head amusedly at himself as he felt that he had become too obsessed with the narrative after reading too much of 'Journey to the West.'

However, now, he could confirm that the breeding ground of the Guiyao planet was definitely hidden behind this giant waterfall.

If he had not been patient and meticulous, it would have been impossible for him to find this place.

”Even if a Separating Divinity adept had been here, without patience and diligence, using pure Divine Will would not have been enough for him to find this clue... Perhaps only Immortal adepts would be able to find this place with ease.”

After speaking thus far, Zhou Donghuang flew forward, and he suspended himself in the air using a layer of essential core as his shield. Carefully, he dodged the water and crossed the waterfall without getting a single drop of water on his body.

After crossing the waterfall, a giant mountain that seemed untouched lay before him.

However, once Zhou Donghuang stepped onto the mountain, where his foot landed suddenly changed from being a piece of the mountain to reveal a giant hole that was only now visible.

This hole was many meters deep and it was close to ten meters wide as well. The interior of the hole was pitch dark, and occasionally, a soft noise could be heard from within. This gave anyone who stood at the entrance chills.

Zhou Donghuang walked into the hole without any change in facial expression.

Randomly, Zhou Donghuang's palms suddenly had a gust of sparks fly up. Clearly, this was essential fire that he had created with his internal essential core, and this was used to illuminate the hole and allow Zhou Donghuang to see into the distance.

The walls of the hole were rather uneven, and they looked to be rather coarse. This was similar to that of the ground.

”I've arrived.”

After reaching the end of the hole, Zhou Donghuang halted in his steps. At this moment, he could smell a strong scent coming from within, and this gave him a feeling of claustrophobia.

He knew that the Connate demon had to be within.

”I wonder what type of demon it is.”

In the instant where the formation before him disappeared, Zhou Donghuang's eyes lit up, and he found himself in a giant yet brightly lit cave house. Before him, spirit weapons that looked almost real seemed to form.
