Chapter 1020 - 311: Encountering Luo Tianxing Again_6

Shen Chongming’s figure had just disappeared when a strange red glint flashed in the old beggar’s gray-white eyes. He opened his mouth wide and furiously bit into the struggling black dragon in his hands!

The black dragon formed from the black mist was not a living creature, but a unique entity formed by the convergence of the law of death and the law of decay.

This was a method left inside Luo Tianxing after being severely injured by the Dragon Kings from the Myriad Dragons’ Nest, planning to use this power of laws to ambush those who knew Luo Tianxing and avenge those Nascent Soul True Monarchs killed by Xu Xiu years ago.

This method is extremely insidious and is hard to discover by most people.

Once touched by these two powers of laws, even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would struggle to deal with it.

However, at this moment, the old beggar was treating these two powers of law as a delicacy, biting and chewing them, and quickly devoured the black dragon about a yard long.

The terrifying powers of death and decay seemed to have no effect on the old beggar.

After devouring the law-formed black dragon, the old beggar’s hunched figure leapt up and directly crashed through the stones atop the cave and flew out.

Outside the cave, in the void, Shen Chongming had already extracted Luo Tianxing’s Nascent Soul and set up a barrier in the void, shattering a large number of spirit crystals, guiding the spiritual power from those spirit crystals to slowly seep into Luo Tianxing’s dim Nascent Soul.

With the replenishment of spiritual power, Luo Tianxing’s Nascent Soul gradually began to faintly shine with spiritual charm, and its aura stabilized considerably.

However, it’s unknown whether his divine spirit suffered a significant blow or for some other reason.

Though the Nascent Soul’s aura stabilized, his divine spirit remained in slumber.

Shen Chongming attempted several methods but found he could only stabilize his Nascent Soul and couldn’t awaken his divine spirit, thus dared not rashly use other methods for fear of unpredictable consequences.

Once again taking out the jade bottle and placing Luo Tianxing’s Nascent Soul inside, Shen Chongming then took out the Imperial Car, preparing to return to Nameless Island first and see if the Golden-haired Monkey had any means to awaken Luo Tianxing.

As soon as the Imperial Car was taken out, the old beggar self-consciously jumped to the front of the carriage, continuing to play the role of the coachman.

Shen Chongming glanced at him, slightly shook his head, and directly entered the carriage compartment.

The Imperial Car transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the direction of Nameless Island.

Several days later, the Imperial Car landed on Nameless Island.

Shen Chongming put away the Imperial Car, took out the jade bottle containing Luo Tianxing’s Nascent Soul, preparing to find the Golden-haired Monkey.

The old beggar, however, glanced at the jade bottle in Shen Chongming’s hand with a peculiar expression, hesitated briefly, then slowly turned his hunched figure and walked towards the other side of the island.

Inside the elegant pavilion of the grassy cottage, the Golden-haired Monkey was drinking and discussing with Li Qing. Its brows furrowed as it saw Shen Chongming approaching from afar.

Li Qing noticed this and smiled lightly as he raised his cup: "Why is Brother Jin like this?"

"Are you displeased with Fellow Daoist Shen?"

The Golden-haired Monkey took the cup in front of it and drank it all in one gulp, saying irritably: "This young one keeps bringing trouble to this old ape of mine."

"And each trouble is harder to deal with than the last."

Saying this, it looked up at Li Qing: "Back then, I advised you not to interfere with that brat Chongxu’s fate, and you didn’t listen."

"Not only did you have me save him, but you also had me take him as a disciple."

"Now look, the entanglements are impossible to shake off!"

Placing its cup on the table, the Golden-haired Monkey scratched its cheek.

"Pour some wine, pour some wine!"

Li Qing smiled apologetically: "It’s my fault, it’s my fault..."

He picked up the jug in front of him to fill the Golden-haired Monkey’s cup full, then sighed: "Back then, I sensed the aura of Brother Shen on that brat and thought, as a descendant of an old acquaintance, how could I just sit and do nothing?"

Turning his words, he looked at the Golden-haired Monkey solemnly: "Moreover, the reason you and I could meet again was because of Brother Shen."

"I say... this causal connection was formed long ago."

The Golden-haired Monkey said nothing, raised its cup, glanced at the approaching Shen Chongming, then snorted: "See, this young one might bring more trouble to this old ape of mine."

As his words fell, Shen Chongming had arrived.

"Fellow Daoist Li, Elder Jin."

Li Qing nodded with a smile, gestured with his hand: "Please sit, Fellow Daoist Shen, and try the wine brewed by Brother Jin."

The Golden-haired Monkey snorted and downed its drink.

Shen Chongming sat down with a salute and looked a bit awkwardly at the Golden-haired Monkey.

"Elder..."

"Don’t talk!"

"You young one shouldn’t trouble this old ape any more."

Without even finishing his sentence, Shen Chongming was directly rejected, his expression stunned.

He also realized that his presence had brought a lot of trouble to the two demons in front, disturbing their peaceful cultivation.

"Fellow Daoist Li, Elder, Chongming feels ashamed..."

Solemnly clasping his hands toward the two, Shen Chongming put away the jade bottle containing Luo Tianxing’s Nascent Soul, suppressing his urge to ask the Golden-haired Monkey for help.

Li Qing handed a cup of wine to Shen Chongming and sighed as Shen Chongming accepted it with a respectful demeanor: "Brother Jin is just like that; Fellow Daoist Shen does not need to mind."

Shen Chongming took the wine cup reverently, shaking his head continuously: "Chongming holds no malice; the care Elder has given to me and my brother is already more than enough, and Chongming is exceedingly grateful."

These words were spoken sincerely.

Frankly, the Shen Family originally had no ties with them.

Even though Third Uncle Shen Wen’an pointed the way for the Golden-haired Monkey, allowing it to reunite with Li Qing, the Golden-haired Monkey nevertheless gifted a bronze warship and numerous Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

The debt had long been repaid.

Now, whether saving Shen Chongxu or taking him as a disciple.

And repeatedly helping him now, it was all for Li Qing’s sake.

He feels only gratitude towards the two demons, without any other thoughts.

"Elder Jin, Chongming offers you respect."

Raising his cup, Shen Chongming spoke respectfully to the Golden-haired Monkey.

"You young one..."

The Golden-haired Monkey’s expression was complex, and after a heavy sigh, it scratched its cheek helplessly.

"Whose Nascent Soul is that?"

Instead of picking up his cup, he directly asked.

The aura of the Nascent Soul was special, and the Golden-haired Monkey had sensed it in the jade bottle even before Shen Chongming reached the grassy pavilion.

Shen Chongming paused, then hastily replied with clasped hands: "I don’t dare hide, Elder; that belongs to an elder who once took great care of my Shen Family."

"Before the collapse of Yangnao Land, the elder had already left."

"I initially thought he would now be a carefree cultivator without attachments, who expected..."

The Golden-haired Monkey sighed heavily upon hearing this.

Raised its cup to Shen Chongming.

Shen Chongming also swiftly raised his cup, clinking them together, and after drinking their contents, the Golden-haired Monkey spoke: "Take it out and let this old ape take a look."

Evidently, it was soft-hearted despite its harsh words, unable to truly refuse help.

Shen Chongming put down his cup and quickly retrieved the jade bottle from his storage bag.

The Golden-haired Monkey took the jade bottle, and a spirit light flashed in its hand, directly extracting the Nascent Soul from the bottle.

After scrutinizing Luo Tianxing’s faintly charming Nascent Soul for a moment, it immediately furrowed its brows, then helplessly chuckled at Li Qing.

"See, I told you this young one keeps bringing vexing troubles to old ape."

Li Qing glanced curiously at Luo Tianxing’s Nascent Soul, and after merely sensing for a moment, his expression turned odd: "The aura of Dragon Flame..."

"This elder was killed by those Dragon Kings from Myriad Dragons’ Nest?"

The Golden-haired Monkey coldly huffed: "More than that!"

"There were over ten Dragon Kings that acted, including the hand of that old black dragon who practiced both the death and decay laws..."

"What a predicament..."

The Golden-haired Monkey’s face turned grim as it peered into his spirit-filled eyes full of struggle, seemingly confronted with a difficult decision.
