Chapter 710 - 435: Soul Channel! _2
...When playing with the Third-Rank Divine General Fu Xixiang, Yan Chuan used the Mid Stage of Eighth Realm "Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar" and the Mid Stage of Eighth Realm "Wave Riding Micro Steps"
[Wave Riding Micro Steps: Eighth Realm Peak (30)]
[Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar: Eighth Realm Peak (31)]
...
Eight Realms Ultimate Skill!
This is a rarity among rarities at the Postnatal Realm Peak State, and even in the Innate Realm it’s difficult to find. Up to now, including First-Rank Divine Generals like Baili Changjing, She Bai, Zao Ci, and Second-Rank Divine General Fu Manduo, Third-Rank Divine General Fu Xixiang, Baili Qingfeng, among others, Yan Chuan has not encountered anyone who has mastered the Eight Realms Ultimate Skill.
The Eighth Realm is already hard!
Let alone Mid Stage of the Eighth Realm!
In fact, with multiple Eight Realms and Mid Stage Eight Realms Ultimate Skills, Yan Chuan has surpassed many First, Second, and Third-Rank Divine Generals just in terms of absolute skills!
True Seed!
Fire Bud Crystal!
Three Hao hairs!
Eight Realms Ultimate Skill!
With all these conditions combined, this is why Yan Chuan could achieve the astonishing feat of defeating the Innate Sixth Layer and playing with and escaping from the Innate Twelfth Layer at the Innate Second Layer cultivation level.
At this moment.
Counting carefully, you know how difficult it is!
Counting carefully, you know how defiant it is!
Who wouldn’t be moved knowing this?
So the Lishan Sect cannot be visited.
"At least not for now."
"I should lay low for a while, wait for things to cool down here, and once I’ve refined more ’Fire Bud Crystals’ and my physique strength has improved, allowing me to unleash more power, I’ll return. It won’t be too late to visit the Lishan Sect then."
During this period, it’s just the right time to make a trip back to the Tan Valley Royal City.
Ever since the Tenth Day of the Fourth Round of the ’Mo Yin Continent’s Royal City Competition’ Ten-day Tournament, where he proved the Innate Dao, Yan Chuan has made rapid progress in various absolute skills.
On November 30, Year Eleven of Great Yan Hongwu, Yan Chuan proved the Dao.
On December 15, Year Eleven of Great Yan Hongwu, Yan Chuan returned home.
On December 22, Year Eleven of Great Yan Hongwu, Yan Chuan returned to Nanyue Lake.
After this—
Martial arts lectures at Iron Arm Monkey Mountain.
Beast battles in Nanyue Lake.
Then in Nanxiong City, he taught martial arts and boxing to 30,000 Baili Guards of the Baili Family, 12,000 She Family Army of the She Family, and 12,000 Hurricane Guards of the Zao Family.
He also browsed the libraries of the ’Three Nanxiong Families’.
Mutual Teaching and Learning!
Limitless feedback!
As of today—
On February 6, Year Twelve of Great Yan Hongwu, just over two months after proving the Dao, Yan Chuan further advanced in his absolute skills.
At the same time—
[Task Three: "Nine Yin Scripture" (Geng Five)]
[Task Five: "Soul Demolishing Demonic Palm" (Geng Five)]
[Task Six: Qiankun Great Shifting (Geng Five)]
...
[Inspiration: 100]
The three Geng Five Absolute Skills were almost simultaneously completed!
Tan Valley Royal City!
It’s time to go back!
...
"I want to return to Tan Valley Royal City."
"Old Wang, you better lead the Iron Arm Monkey Group to quickly lay low; it’s not safe to stay at Nanyue Lake!"
Yan Chuan easily shook off Fu Xixiang, choosing not to visit Lishan, but heading straight to Nanyue Lake, directly towards the ’Burial Demon Cave’, where Wang Zhengyi’s ’Monkey King Avatar’ resides.
"Old Yan?"
"What’s happening?"
Wang Zhengyi was puzzled.
After the Moth Island battle ended, he remembered Yan Chuan saying he would mingle in the Lishan Sect, so why is he now heading back to Tan Valley Royal City?
"What happened?"
The ’Monkey King Avatar’ with a sharp mouth and monkey-like cheeks looked curious.
"The news of Fu Manduo coming to Nanyue Lake leaked out, someone from the Fu Family suspected me, and during a test, I accidentally killed a Second-Rank Divine General."
"Afterwards, I clashed with Fu Xixiang, the City Lord of Nanxiong City, and it’s a fight to the death."
Fu Xixiang is now furious, and when he calms down, he’s likely to come to Nanyue Lake, marching towards Iron Arm Monkey Mountain.
Wang Zhengyi!
Iron Arm Monkey Group!
"We have to retreat quickly!" Yan Chuan briefly explained the situation.
Wang Zhengyi was stunned: "You really can stir up trouble!"
He wasn’t blaming Yan Chuan, but rather marveling—
Killing a Second-Rank Divine General!
Provoking a Third-Rank Divine General!
Just look!
Can you imagine!
Is this something a newly promoted Innate, having only been around for two months, could do?
It’s inconceivable!
However, Wang Zhengyi also understood the urgency of the situation.
But the problem is—
"There are 4,080 Iron Arm Monkeys, young and old, in Nanyue Lake. To migrate them, with my reputation as the Innate Monkey King, it’s not difficult. But the difficulty lies in the fact that the noise from the large-scale migration of the Iron Arm Monkey Group is too substantial, leaving many traces. If a Third-Rank Divine General truly decides to track us, we won’t be able to escape."
Wang Zhengyi shook his head.
Yan Chuan knew the difficulty in this too, so he frowned and suggested: "What about breaking them into smaller groups?"
"It’s not that easy."
Wang Zhengyi shook his head again.
Not to mention the Iron Arm Monkey Group, even seasoned troops, elite soldiers, and generals would find it challenging to break into smaller groups and march through terrain like Nanyue Lake. The proportion that would successfully reach the destination and regroup wouldn’t be very high.
If well-trained troops are like this, what more of a free-spirited group like the Iron Arm Monkeys!
Don’t overestimate them.
If this doesn’t work.
And that doesn’t work.
What will work?
Yan Chuan continued: "What if we do this, still break the Iron Arm Monkey Group into smaller groups, but they don’t have to leave. They can just stay hidden among the mountains of Nanyue Lake."
The waters and mountains of Nanyue Lake are vast.
Just like the Golden Vulture, Double-headed Duck, and Green Water Crocodile, other Innate Beast Kings are well hidden. Once the Iron Arm Monkey Group breaks into smaller groups and burrows into nooks and crannies, even a Third-Rank Divine General, even a 100,000-strong army would find it hard to search the mountains to uncover them.
This is one way.
While it might reduce the Iron Arm Monkey Group some, it seems to be the best solution.
Yet Wang Zhengyi had feelings for the Iron Arm Monkey Group, so he shook his head: "Nanyue Lake is no longer viable."
Yan Chuan felt guilty: "I implicated the Monkey Group."
He initially thought to lead the Iron Arm Monkey Group to do business with Fu Zhe, Feng Jin, and Shangguan Ji, a win-win cooperation, but the situation changed quickly afterwards, leading to the current predicament unnoticed.
"You can’t be blamed."
Wang Zhengyi discerned right from wrong: "Before you came, the Iron Arm Monkey Group was already targeted by the Royal City. If it weren’t for your mediation, during Shangguan Ji and others’ investigation, my ’Monkey King Avatar’ would have been killed, and the Iron Arm Monkey Group would have disbanded."
Wang Zhengyi had a clear grasp of the cause and effect.
As for relocating the group—
"It can be difficult!"
"But also easy!"
Wang Zhengyi smiled at Yan Chuan: "Did I ever mention the ’Soul Channel’ to you?"
...
"Old Yan!"
"Come on out!"
Outside the Tan Valley Royal City, on the outskirts of Tiger Hunting Land, Wang Zhengyi opened his mouth wide, and Yan Chuan fell out, dizzy from the whirl, having changed locations to the Mortal World—
"Already at Tan Valley?"
Yan Chuan was incredulous!
He always thought possessing the ’Purple Mist Palace’ made him the protagonist of the world, but seeing Wang Zhengyi’s previous avatar and now having traversed the mysterious ’Soul Channel’ from Hunxi King City, Nanxiong City, and Nanyue Lake directly to Tan Valley Royal City Tiger Hunting Land, he began to waver.
"Haha!"
"Old Yan!"
"Do you think the ’Hundred Rivers Return Grass’ in the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion came from nowhere? Had I already possessed it, wouldn’t I have given it to you earlier? Can I hold it until then?"
Wang Zhengyi laughed heartily, looking at Yan Chuan emerging from the ’Soul Channel’. He explained: "Back then, I was still at the Postnatal Realm, the ’Soul Channel’ was relatively fragile, capable only of transporting treasures like ’Hundred Rivers Return Grass’ and ’Essence Stone’, unable to transport living beings. But after proving the Innate Dao, the Soul Channel strengthened, and I’ve attempted to transport many living beings and even Limit-breaking Level alien beasts, though I haven’t tried the Innate Level yet. During the crisis on Moth Island, I was originally planning to risk it to help you and Brother Chen escape, but before I could speak, the Moth Vine swept us away. Thankfully, you and Brother Chen were unharmed."
Owning the ’Soul Channel’, Wang Zhengyi was meant to be proud, but the peril on Moth Island left him somewhat ashamed.
His reluctance nearly cost the lives of Yan Chuan and Chen Ze, which he found unacceptable.
"This isn’t your fault."
Yan Chuan was understanding.
Everyone has their own little secrets.
Just like he hasn’t shared the details of the ’Purple Mist Palace’ and ’three Hao hairs’ with anyone, Wang Zhengyi’s ’Avatar’ and ’Soul Channel’ are also critical to his survival. It’s normal to keep them hidden.
At least.
At the crucial moment, Wang Zhengyi didn’t keep it hidden any longer.
Yan Chuan looked at Wang Zhengyi, then at the Innate Third Layer Double-headed Duck beside Wang Zhengyi that was used as a pathfinder earlier, and couldn’t help but smile: "With the ’Soul Channel’, even the Innate Realm can be transported, so the Iron Arm Monkey Group is no problem."
Only one issue remains—
"With over four thousand Iron Arm Monkeys, can you handle it?"
Yan Chuan was concerned.
"The last thing I’m lacking is physical strength and energy!"
Wang Zhengyi smiled, leaping up to land on the Double-headed Duck’s back, patting it as he instructed: "Go! Fly further inside!"
Flap flap!
The Double-headed Duck flapped its wings in dissatisfaction.
But with a glare from Yan Chuan, it quickly obeyed, submitting tamely, allowing Wang Zhengyi to ride it.
"Haha!"
"Let’s go!"
Wang Zhengyi, full of spirit, directed the Double-headed Duck towards the depths of Tiger Hunting Land. Before leaving, he turned around and gave Yan Chuan a meaningful smile: "Old Yan! Quickly return to the Royal City! With beautiful ladies and alluring companions, it’s sure to make everyone envious!"
