Chapter 636 - 265: Xuan Ji Soul-Locking, Water Moon Mirror Light

As the monkey bows to Fubo.

Chen Ping’s heart suddenly stirred slightly, sensing that the Azure Dragon Seal nurtured in the middle of his Sea of Consciousness was gently vibrating, seemingly reminding him of something.

Yes, spiritual artifacts like the Azure Dragon Seal, Jade Cloud Sword, and Sun and Moon Ring, once fully refined, can be stored within one’s body.

Chen Ping had already figured out the secret to this when he conquered the Shenxiao Sword Sect, and he also taught it to Ji Mingyue and Han Xiaoru.

Actually, it’s not too complicated; you just need to use your Divine Sense as a guide and be willing to expend Spiritual Qi to flush it, seemingly transforming into a sphere of magical power and storing it within the Divine Acupoint of your body—quite miraculous.

Of course, when stored in the body for nurturing, its spiritual nature grows with its master. This is a basic function, and taking it out is no different from retrieving an item from a storage bag.

After testing this, Chen Ping discovered that the Jade Cloud Sword is actually not suitable for nurturing within the Divine Acupoint. The best method is to refine it into a Sword Pill, merging it with True Essence Magical Power, ready to unleash at a single thought, constantly keeping it in a state of readiness which is a different treasure collection method for sword cultivators.

At this moment, the Azure Dragon Seal reacted, and without avoiding anyone, Chen Ping slightly moved his Divine Thought, and a flash of light appeared on his brow, with the Azure Dragon Seal already in hand.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that on one of the square sides of the Azure Dragon Seal, there appeared a image of a strong golden-haired monkey—the monkey pounded its chest and roared to the sky, each golden hair standing on end, looking quite mighty.

The pattern shimmered with golden light, pulsing, echoing the golden-haired monkey standing beside him.

Yuann Tong sighed, shook his form, transforming into a golden light, and leapt onto the side of the Azure Dragon Seal, making the monkey-shaped pattern more vibrant.

Simultaneously, Chen Ping felt a vast surge of power pouring into his body from the Azure Dragon Seal, increasing its spiritual nature and greatly enhancing its might.

"Oh..."

Chen Ping was greatly surprised.

Although he had obtained the Azure Dragon Seal and refined it to be as he wished, he had not paid attention to the useful patterns and designs on its four walls.

"Come out."

Connected through thoughts with the Azure Dragon Seal, Chen Ping immediately understood this novel usage, and his thoughts shifted, summoning the monkey out.

As he looked closely, he found that this golden-haired monkey was actually a creature in between flesh and energy. Despite having been struck repeatedly, the monkey had suffered injuries but now fully recovered.

Chen Ping even suspected, even if he had attacked with all his might without reservation and chopped the monkey in half, it might not have died.

"The master knows, the Azure Dragon Seal being a treasured lineage heirloom of the Fubo Lineage, one of the three grand hall-protecting magical treasures of the Azure Dragon Hall. In that decisive battle, the previous master was struck down, his laws collapsing, near death, with even the heirloom Azure Dragon Seal being knocked down a grade, turning into a Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact."

The monkey’s pointed face was covered with dense fur, revealing little expression, yet his words conveyed a sense of tragic pain.

"We, the four Guardian Holy Beasts, were also severely beaten, our cultivations greatly diminished. I was fortunate enough to be in my infancy and didn’t bear the brunt. The fox was unfortunate, losing its tail to survive, it took a hundred years to regain some clarity—though she wasn’t the most unfortunate one."

The monkey slowly narrated, "The most unfortunate was the little chicken, its intelligence scattered; even now, it continues with a wooden mind and hasn’t recovered, just hiding in the depths of Qit Mountain, seeking bugs to eat.

And that silly dog, last seen when going to seek reinforcements, who knows where it ran off to—hundreds of years have passed, and there’s been no sign."

The monkey didn’t elaborate on what exactly happened during that battle.

In truth, he himself was unclear, just knowing that as soon as action was taken, he was struck into confusion, dazedly, with intelligence regressing, taking a long, long time to recover.

Then, discovering he couldn’t find his master, nor was there a "home" anymore.

Recalling this moment, the monkey’s eyes still showed shock and fear.

Chen Ping didn’t probe further; he actually knew more than the monkey.

During the "Trace Origin and Steal Fortune" as Venerable Yuxiao, he was possessed within the body of the Little Daoist. From very far away, he witnessed three Flying Celestial Dragons being smashed to bits by a giant furry hand that covered the sky...

The strongest Divine Dragon among them couldn’t withstand even one blow, struck into near demise.

That battle was exceedingly fierce.

Chen Ping, attached during Venerable Yuxiao’s youth, saw only fragments of the action—too afraid to glance further, he understood only enough to escape frantically.

After analyzing the events, Chen Ping roughly deduced that the four Divine Dragons must belong to the Fubo Lineage, judging by their terrifying momentum when striking, causing mountains to collapse, seas to fall, earth fires to erupt, snow and rain to fly.

This world seemed to be nearly smashed apart by them; such power isn’t something of the Divine Martial Realm.

It must be Law Dao Alchemy.

And that disciple of the Celestial Star Demon Sect, who transformed into the great sun, possessed even greater power—unknown what kind of strength.

Nevertheless, that person was besieged by four Divine Dragons later on, forming a relic site even in the face of death, tearing space and summoning that hairy hand and giant horned demon...

Undoubtedly, at least Late-Stage Dao Alchemy or Perfection.

"The four images on the Azure Dragon Seal are you, the Four Holy Beasts."

Chen Ping raised the seal, seeing aside from the Monkey Seal emitting golden light, the other three sides had subtle patterns still inactive.
