Chapter 765: Chapter 546 White Ape (Additional Update)

Walking in Xinzhou City, Li Yi planned to find a good place to quietly wait for the ghost gods of this world to come to him. However, according to his thinking, this should happen at night, because ghost gods are soul bodies, and although they are bolstered by incense fire belief and Spiritual Energy, they can only move about during the day.

But essentially, they still lack physical bodies and need to avoid the blazing sunlight to minimize self-depletion.

"That place looks good."

Suddenly.

Li Yi saw a towering pavilion in the center of Xinzhou City. The pavilion had more than a dozen floors and offered views of the entire city.

Thinking of this, he immediately started walking in the direction of that pavilion.

"If many ghost gods come, I might also take this opportunity to inquire about my dad’s whereabouts. He traveled across worlds with Soul Realm cultivation, and by now, he must have gained considerable strength and cultivation. He might have even become a powerful god." Li Yi thought to himself. He felt that instead of searching by himself, it might be better to ask the gods. After all, they know this world best and have the most access to information.

Before long.

Li Yi approached the pavilion, which was called Yaoxing Tower and was located within the Prince Xin Mansion. The mansion was heavily guarded, and under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to enter.

"So it’s a prince’s mansion."

However, he was unfazed, and used the Invisibility Technique to hide his presence from ordinary sight, walking straight through the main gate.

The two stone lions in front of the mansion seemed to sense Li Yi and growled lowly, eager to attack, but they were suppressed by his Dragon and Tiger Energy and instantly became listless, curling up in a corner, not daring to move.

Although lions are majestic, dragons and tigers are the true kings.

Li Yi walked within the prince’s mansion.

Indeed, no matter the world, the princes know how to enjoy life. This residence is like spring throughout the year, with birds singing and flowers blooming, ancient trees reaching the sky. The maids coming and going are all as beautiful as flowers, and extraordinary flowers and herbs, as well as treasures, can be seen everywhere. For example, he saw an old turtle spitting pearls in the water, spiritual birds nesting on trees, and Nine-leaf Ginseng blooming in the flowerbed.

Furthermore, white foxes played around, and old apes practiced swordsmanship along the way.

"These are all spirit monsters." Li Yi glanced around and found that the animals here were unusual, all possessing spiritual wisdom and a certain level of cultivation.

Yet even spirit monsters willingly joined the prince’s mansion to be raised.

The reason is simple.

Princes are born with the ability to share vast incense fire belief power, and these spirit monsters, by entering the prince’s mansion, can also gain some benefits. This helps their cultivation and they are protected from harm, which is much better than living in the wild. Moreover, if their cultivation succeeds and they serve the court, they may easily be appointed as a True God in the future.

But entering the prince’s mansion is not easy; they must be valued to do so.

"Stop, where’s this Daoist from who dares to use spells to sneak into the prince’s mansion? Taste my sword!" Suddenly, a loud shout came, and a white ape standing on an ancient tree surveyed the surroundings, its eyes lighting up as it seemed to see through Li Yi’s Invisibility Technique. Holding an ancient sword, it charged straight over.

Although there was a hundred-meter distance between them, the white ape was incredibly agile, closing in with just a leap.

Li Yi said nothing more; he simply flicked his Daoist robe to block the sharp ancient sword, then retreated slightly.

The white ape was like it had been rammed by a giant dragon. Its strong body flew away, crashing through countless flowers and trees, finally smashing into a rockery with a boom, burying its entire body within.

"Wow!" The white ape spat blood, eyes showing a human-like look of fear.

What kind of strength is this?

With just a gentle push, it flew more than ten feet away. If the Daoist hadn’t held back, it felt its body might explode, and survival would be impossible.

"Sorry, my strength control was a bit off." Li Yi said. "You, the white ape, can already speak human language, it seems you’ve really gained some essence. I’m just passing by to find a place to rest. Pretend you didn’t see me, and I won’t trouble you, how about that?"

"I am the Mountain Watching Ape of the prince’s mansion, specifically responsible for guarding this place. How can I allow some mountain Daoist to freely come and go?" The white ape stubbornly stood up from the ruins, its fur stained with blood but still holding an ancient sword tightly.

Li Yi said, "This is the only large place in the entire city. When I cast my spell tonight, it will have the least impact here. After tonight, I’ll leave. It’s better for us to live peacefully. If a fight breaks out and I accidentally kill you, wouldn’t that be unfortunate? If you agree, I can teach you a spell, how about the Invisibility Technique I just used?"

He tried to bribe the white ape.

The white ape’s eyes turned, but it hesitated at this moment. After all, it couldn’t defeat this Daoist, and learning a spell wasn’t a loss. It immediately said, "Is your Invisibility Technique legitimate? It’s not an evil spell, right?"

"It’s an authentic Taoist transmission, very legitimate," Li Yi said.

"Alright, you teach me the Invisibility Technique, and I’ll allow you to stay in the prince’s mansion for a day. But just one day. After one day, you must leave," the white ape nodded in agreement.

Li Yi smiled: "Then you come to Yaoxing Tower tonight, and I’ll teach you the spell."

"The Prince plans to hold a banquet at Yaoxing Tower tonight, you should not go there before the Si hour," the White Ape said.

Li Yi replied, "I can use the Invisibility Technique to sit quietly on the side, without being noticed."

The White Ape scratched its head, thought for a while, and said, "That works too, I’ll come to you for learning spells after the banquet is over, you better not renege on it."

"Why would I deceive a mere ape," Li Yi said, "But how did you, an ape, see through my Invisibility Technique? Although it’s not a great spell, it’s not something a spirit monster can discern."

"Before coming to the Prince Mansion, I cultivated in the mountains, watching the sun during the day and the moon at night. Over time, my eyes underwent some changes, allowing me to see through many transformative spells," the White Ape said. "Moreover, I learned exquisite swordsmanship, many spirit monsters are not my match."

"I see, enduring sun and moon refines the eyes, no wonder it’s extraordinary," Li Yi nodded slightly.

This cultivation method might incidentally align with some spell training method; if perfected, it could become a new Tao Skill. My Invisibility Technique was just casually learned from a Daoist Skill Book, being seen through by the White Ape’s eyes is normal.

"However, your swordsmanship is not that impressive, it’s barely usable," Li Yi further commented.

The White Ape said, "Daoist, you also understand swordsmanship?"

"A bit."

Li Yi extended his hand, releasing Sword Qi that slashed through the air, cutting apart an artificial mountain like tofu, the Sword Qi then soared into the sky and disappeared.

The White Ape glanced, eyes narrowed, seeing the artificial mountain cut like tofu was shocked, realizing it couldn’t react to the blade if struck would instantly decapitate it, dying on the spot.

"Is this the Flying Sword?" it asked in shock.

Li Yi replied, "Not Flying Sword, it’s Sword Qi. So, someone here knows Flying Sword?"

He didn’t expect this Incense Fire God world to have those who understand Flying Sword, isn’t that a technique of cultivators from the Xuanxian Continent?

"One of the Daoists invited by the Prince knows Flying Sword; he can merge a treasure sword into a sword pellet, swallow it into the abdomen, then just expel it to transform into a Flying Sword, capable of breaking through anything," the White Ape said.

It seems the Daoists in this world possess some skills, but it’s unknown how their sword pellets compare to the Spiritual Artifacts and Flying Swords of cultivators.

"But that Flying Sword you mentioned, I know it too," Li Yi laughed softly. "But that spell isn’t powerful, so I rarely use it."

He just needs to mobilize the Gold Qi in his lungs, expel it through his mouth to transform into a Flying Sword, but he hasn’t tested its power.

"Daoist, you truly are a high-level person, understanding so many spells. Why don’t you showcase some at tonight’s banquet, you might receive the Prince’s favor, enjoying endless prosperity," the White Ape suggested like an old broker, trying to draw Li Yi into the Prince Mansion.

"Haha, I do want to enjoy prosperity, but having unfinished business, I still need to travel around," Li Yi laughed.

However, this commotion seemed to attract attention, as two patrolling Armored Soldiers approached upon hearing.

"White Ape, who are you talking to, might there be a thief in the mansion?" one Armored Soldier asked.

The White Ape turned around, realizing the Daoist had vanished, not knowing where he went, and immediately said, "No thieves here, I lost focus watching the sun and fell from a tree, just now cursing."

"I see, keep an eye out these days, an incident occurred today; the city yamen collapsed, rumored to be caused by a powerful mana demon Daoist, its whereabouts are unknown. If it enters the Prince Mansion, that would be disastrous," the Armored Soldier said.

"Alright, understood," the White Ape replied promptly.

After dismissing the two Armored Soldiers, the White Ape called out quietly, "Daoist, Daoist, are you there?"

"I’m here."

Li Yi emerged from a courtyard wall.

"Daoist, what spell is this?" the White Ape asked with heated eyes, scratching its head.

Li Yi said, "Wall-Penetration Technique, just a trivial little spell, I am leaving now, remember to find me in the evening. If you’re late, don’t blame me for not teaching you spells."

Speaking, he turned toward Yaoxing Tower.

"This Daoist’s spells are incredible, and his aura is pure, definitely not a demon Daoist. That demon Daoist must be someone else," the White Ape thought, recalling the Armored Soldier’s words, shaking its head, not believing Li Yi to be a demon Daoist, only seeing him as a high-level one.

"But I want to learn that Wall-Penetration Technique, what should I do?"

The White Ape scratched its head again, pondering how to learn spells from Li Yi.

Its eyes shifted toward the treasure bead being swallowed and regurgitated by the old turtle in the pond, then smiled mischievously, carrying an ancient sword over.
