Chapter 400 - 400 399 Fangs Revealed

400: Chapter 399: Fangs Revealed 400: Chapter 399: Fangs Revealed Om!

The Daluo Immortal Light rippled out, directly imprisoning the demon in the Golden Radiance Cave.

Along with True Monarch Yu Ding casually casting a restriction, he immobilized the demon right there, unable to move the slightest bit.

“Hmm?”

When True Monarch Yu Ding saw the demon before his eyes, a trace of astonishment flashed across the depths of his eyes, and the killing intent that had arisen also dissipated at that moment.

A peacock, its feathers dazzling and multi-colored, was surrounded by a blooming Five-Colored Divine Light, which was extremely pleasing to the eye at first glance.

At this moment, it was frightfully trying to escape; however, under the imprisonment of True Monarch Yu Ding, it could only tremble in place.

“Five-Colored Peacock?”

True Monarch Yu Ding exclaimed in surprise and doubt.

He could hardly believe that, although the demon was extremely weak, its true form was the rare Five-Colored Peacock, scarcely seen amongst the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

“This… this is the Five-Colored Divine Light?”

Upon sensing further, True Monarch Yu Ding’s expression changed slightly.

The peacock family was extraordinarily rare, scarcely seen in this world.

Why would one appear at Jade Spring Mountain?

“Little Demon Kong Li pays respects to True Monarch Yu Ding!”

The Five-Colored Peacock had not yet transformed into human form, but it had high spiritual wisdom.

After its initial fright, it paid respects to True Monarch Yu Ding in a manner similar to a human, which made True Monarch Yu Ding nod slightly.

Still, he was very curious as to why the Five-Colored Peacock would appear outside the Golden Radiance Cave.

“Where do you come from, little demon, and why do you spy on this True Monarch?” True Monarch Yu Ding asked, curious.

“Do not be offended, True Monarch.

This little demon has admired you for a long time.

After facing myriad dangers from the Northern Continent, I’ve come to Jade Spring Mountain, in hopes that you would accept me as your disciple,” the Five-Colored Peacock said repeatedly, bowing, with a slight tremble in its voice.

Hearing the words of the Five-Colored Peacock, True Monarch Yu Ding spoke with a puzzled look: “You really are ignorant, little demon.

The peacock clan is blessed by nature.

Seeing that you possess the Five-Colored Divine Light, you should seek protection from the Peacock Mahamayuri in Western Lingshan, so why come to take me as your Master?”

“True Monarch is one of the Ancient Twelve Golden Immortals and has nurtured True Monarch Yang Jian, the War God of the Three Realms.

If there are famous teachers in the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, only you are worthy of that title.

Although the Peacock Mahamayuri and I share the same lineage, in the transmission of teachings, you still have a slight edge,” the Five-Colored Peacock said gravely.

As the saying goes, flattery gets you everywhere, and moreover, the Five-Colored Peacock compared True Monarch Yu Ding with Peacock Mahamayuri, which made True Monarch Yu Ding feel somewhat flattered.

True Monarch Yu Ding had lived through endless time, and although he was somewhat weaker among the Daluo Golden Immortals, what he was most proud of was teaching and imparting knowledge.

Otherwise, how could he have nurtured Yang Jian, the foremost figure of the third generation of the Chan Sect?

Perhaps it was Yang Jian’s departure, or perhaps it was the innate talent of the Five-Colored Peacock, but True Monarch Yu Ding genuinely began to consider taking the Five-Colored Peacock as a disciple.

After all, if one speaks of the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, the peacock clan is indeed privileged by nature.

With just a bit of cultivation, they would certainly become a mighty being.

Moreover, the Innate Divine Ability of the Five-Colored Divine Light, capable of sweeping all Spiritual Treasures, would certainly not be inferior to Yang Jian’s Destruction Eye.

“For now, reside in the Golden Radiance Cave.

I will impart some Divine Power Techniques to you.

If you can comprehend them within three days, I will accept you as my disciple,” True Monarch Yu Ding, after much contemplation and with the intention of accepting a disciple, said.

Yet, if he were to directly take the Five-Colored Peacock under his wing, it would be too hasty.

It was still necessary to test the other’s aptitude.

“Disciple thanks the Master for your care.” The Five-Colored Peacock, moved to tears, bowed continuously to True Monarch Yu Ding, who accepted the grand gesture with a faint smile.

Thus, the Five-Colored Peacock took up residence in the Golden Radiance Cave.

True Monarch Yu Ding even imparted some spells and Divine Skills.

As days passed, True Monarch Yu Ding was shocked to discover that the Five-Colored Peacock’s aptitude was incredibly exceptional.

With a single touch, it comprehended Immortal Laws and Daoist Skills; it could pluck spells and summaries effortlessly.

No matter what Magic True Monarch Yu Ding imparted, the Five-Colored Peacock was able to execute them within a single day.

This brought immense joy to the heart of True Monarch Yu Ding.

If Yang Jian was considered a prodigy bestowed by heaven, then the talent of the Five-Colored Peacock was simply unprecedented.

This made True Monarch Yu Ding believe that the heavens were indeed looking out for him, by sending such a disciple with heaven-defying aptitude.

Eventually, the Five-Colored Peacock became a disciple of True Monarch Yu Ding, and the master and disciple practiced Immortal Law daily.

Kong Li was exceptionally filial, bringing great joy and laughter to True Monarch Yu Ding, who even imparted the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill to Kong Li.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

Through the daily companionship of ten years, True Monarch Yu Ding had completely recovered from the sorrow of Yang Jian’s death.

Every day, besides guiding Kong Li’s Cultivation, he traveled across mountains and rivers, harvesting Spiritual Medicine to enhance his disciple’s Cultivation.

And Kong Li did not disappoint True Monarch Yu Ding.

Within those ten years, he stepped from the Heavenly Immortal Realm into the Taiyi Mystic Immortal.

Such a terrifying speed of Cultivation made True Monarch Yu Ding smile so wide his mouth couldn’t close.

True Monarch Yu Ding believed that in less than three thousand years, his disciple would be able to step into the Luotian Realm.

Then, the Three Realms would witness the emergence of another Three Realms War God, proving to all beings in the Three Realms that he, Yu Ding, had once again nurtured a figure of earth-shattering significance.

Initially, True Monarch Yu Ding remained somewhat vigilant around Kong Li, but as ten years passed, that vigilance had dissipated, and Kong Li was very sensible.

He accompanied True Monarch Yu Ding day and night, which made the latter relive the feelings of the master-disciple bond from past times.

“Disciple, today I shall enter seclusion to expel the Heavenly Demon Power within my Primordial Spirit and cannot be disturbed by anything.

Otherwise, there’s a risk of deviation due to being overwhelmed by the inner demons,” True Monarch Yu Ding solemnly instructed Kong Li while sitting in meditation at the Immortal Spring.

“Don’t worry, Master.

With your disciple acting as protector, no one will disturb you,” Kong Li said with a bow, but as his gaze lowered, a flash of venomous, cruel light briefly passed through his eyes, then disappeared in an instant.

“For some reason, these past few days I’ve had a feeling of unease, as if something bad is about to happen.”

After all, a Daluo Golden Immortal is a Daluo Golden Immortal, already capable of glimpsing a trace of the heavenly secrets.

True Monarch Yu Ding furrowed his brows, continuously calculating the secrets of heaven, yet he came up with no answers.

“Master, you are overthinking it.

You are one of the Ancient Twelve Golden Immortals and a second-generation disciple of the Chan Sect.

Who would dare to provoke you?

Besides, with your disciple acting as your protector, you can securely enter seclusion,” Kong Li said with a slight smile.

“Hmm.”

True Monarch Yu Ding slowly nodded, then with a sigh, added “It seems I am indeed worrying too much.”

Buzz!

Daluo Immortal Light rippled forth, and a barrier was cast by True Monarch Yu Ding.

It shielded both him and the entire Immortal Spring, cloaking them from view.

As he continuously circulated the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill, his body also entered into deep meditation.

Immortal Light boiled and swirled, and his face distorted.

Within the barrier, dark auras occasionally streaked across the brow of True Monarch Yu Ding, clearly in the process of expelling the last trace of Heavenly Demon Power from his Primordial Spirit.

Outside the barrier, the smile vanished from Kong Li’s face.

His handsome features twisted slightly, and the look he cast towards True Monarch Yu Ding was filled with extreme ruthlessness and chill.

Time ticked away, with the sun rising in the East and setting in the West, and the stars shifted positions, signaling the days and nights interchanging.

After three days and nights had passed, the seated figure of Kong Li finally rose.

Step—Step—Step.

Kong Li walked leisurely beside the Immortal Spring, gazing emotionlessly at True Monarch Yu Ding within the Spring, as his deep voice echoed throughout the Jiuxia Cave.

“Yu Ding, oh Yu Ding, you truly are foolish.

Today, after I devour your Cultivation Dao Fruit and shatter your soul to death, I will have settled our score,” he said.

Boom, rumble, rumble!

Kong Li struck out with a palm.

He was no mere Taiyi Mystic Immortal.

The terrifying Luotian Golden Light that burst forth was dreadful to the extreme, and an image of the Reverse Immortal Array Map appeared in the void, instantly suppressing True Monarch Yu Ding within the Immortal Spring.
