Chapter 569: Chapter 374: Gu Demon King

The little monkey born from the Five-Colored Elemental Spirit Stone was brimming with Spiritual Energy. It joyfully turned somersaults, as if celebrating its birth, appearing incredibly happy.

"A little monkey born from a stone... this plot feels incredibly familiar..."

Wang Yi rubbed his chin. Opening the territory management panel, he found that after Aolai Mountain was placed down, it had taken root in the earth and become part of his own territory.

The little monkey born from the Five-Colored Elemental Spirit Stone was an Eco Earth Deity, born of destiny!

This "destiny" was clearly brought about by the Nine-Nine Venerable Dragon Vein. The moment Aolai Mountain touched the ground, destiny naturally gathered, causing the Five-Colored Elemental Spirit Stone upon it to mutate. If it were any other Player’s territory, without the protection of this destiny, the Five-Colored Elemental Spirit Stone on Aolai Mountain would not have given birth to life!

And the fact that it was a little monkey meant it traced back to the ancient origins of the Flower and Fruit Ecosystem. That little monkey was imitating the Eco-Dominator! They were similar in both appearance and abilities.

The Eco-Dominator of Huaguo Mountain was the "Great Sage Equal to Heaven Sun Wukong." Wang Yi had gone to great lengths to shape its image to closely resemble the figure from the legends, which was exactly why a little monkey had popped out of the stone on Aolai Mountain.

"Interesting!" Wang Yi waved his sleeve and took out the Hundred Battles Treasure Manual. He addressed the crowd, "I will give you ten days to explore Aolai Mountain. Ten days from now, report your findings to me right here!"

"Understood!"

Hu Miaosuan took the lead in responding. The researchers then deployed their various methods and began their respective explorations.

Meanwhile, Wang Yi stayed where he was, using the Hundred Battles Treasure Manual to conduct simulated battles. He wanted to enter the Dao through Martial Arts, and Martial Arts had to be forged through combat. Battles were an absolute necessity. His main body, receiving cosmic information in the Ninth Dimension, had taught Wang Yi that entering the Dao through Martial Arts meant nurturing his own imposing aura in battle, and subsequently discovering his own martial path!

Simply put, it meant honing his Will through Cultivation and combat, finding his pursuit, and slowly elevating his mental Realm. In short, entering the Dao through Martial Arts was inseparable from battle.

The Hundred Battles Treasure Manual recorded one hundred battles, and Wang Yi started from the very first one. He didn’t use any powerful Divine Techniques, not even Thunder Slash. He solely relied on the Martial Arts recorded in the Martial Arts Manual.

Time flowed on as Wang Yi focused entirely on his Cultivation.

Ten days passed in what felt like the blink of an eye.

On this day, Wang Yi ceased his Cultivation and put away the Hundred Battles Treasure Manual. He looked somewhat exhausted, but his gaze was brighter than ever, and his overall aura had become more settled and profound.

He looked ahead. The researchers of the Classic of Mountains and Seas had arrived as promised. They looked quite travel-worn. Aolai Mountain was too vast; thoroughly exploring it in just ten days was an incredibly difficult task. They had utilized the Energy Lighthouse and worked almost day and night without rest, but their harvest was equally massive.

At that moment, Hu Miaosuan was drunk. He sat on the ground, muttering gibberish, and no one knew what he was talking about.

As the Vice Dean, Lu Wuming had already compiled a vast amount of information. He stepped forward to report. "Reporting to the Great Lord. Over the past ten days, we have conducted a preliminary exploration of approximately ten thousand square kilometers of land across Aolai Mountain. In total, we discovered one Secret Realm, one ancient ruin, and 233 Five-Colored Elemental Spirit Stones. Furthermore, there are 13 types of Spirit Essence in the mountain that can be used for pharmaceuticals!"

"Mhm." Wang Yi nodded. "Continue."

Lu Wuming elaborated, "Based on our findings, we have reason to believe that Aolai Mountain was not formed naturally, but rather created artificially. There is a peculiar Array within the mountain that causes the magnetic field to be chaotic, allowing it to create Five-Colored Elemental Spirit Stones out of thin air!"

"It’s not out of thin air, and it’s not created from nothing!" the half-drunk Hu Miaosuan suddenly interrupted. "It absorbs the destiny of heaven and earth to manufacture the Five-Colored Elemental Spirit Stones! This contains the secret to becoming a Saint. It is unfathomable! Truly unfathomable!"

With that, the Dog Head Military Advisor let out a loud burp, suddenly fell backward onto the ground, and passed out.

The Sun-Chasing Bow, Sun-Chasing Bowmaster’s Poem, continued, "The Five-Colored Elemental Spirit Stones are indeed products of destiny, condensed from the Essence of Heaven and Earth. As of today, three of the stones have already given birth to life, and all of them are little monkeys!"

The Moonfall Arrow Emperor added, "Those little monkeys are peculiar Eco Earth Deities. They are naturally intelligent, possess inherent Divine Skills, and have immense growth potential. Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult for a Five-Colored Elemental Spirit Stone to give birth to life. It just goes to show that the destiny of our Strongest Royal Court is truly powerful!"

The Flying in the Sky Divine Shooter, Yu Huan, also spoke up. "There is some Ancient Divine Language text inside the ancient ruin on Aolai Mountain. I don’t know much about the Ancient Divine Language, so I could only decipher a portion of it. It seems that this Aolai Mountain was the ashram of a certain Ancient Gods Player. Although there is a miraculous Array in the mountain, the mountain itself is not Solid, and the Array is easily damaged. If it hadn’t been stored inside the Classic of Mountains and Seas, it might have been destroyed long ago! As for those Five-Colored Elemental Spirit Stones, they seem to serve another purpose, but it is still unclear."

Wang Yi pondered for a moment before saying, "Then we will leave this mountain here to bolster our territory’s foundation. As for the stone-born monkeys in the mountain, I will have the Eco-Dominator take charge of them. I’m giving you all a three-day vacation. Make sure to compile your exploration results into a report and send it to the Eco-Castle so Jelena and her team can study how to develop this Aolai Mountain! Three days from now, follow me to explore the Empty Sea!"

Over the following days, Wang Yi opened blind boxes, read the newspaper, and went into Aolai Mountain to tease the stone-born monkeys...

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Wang Yi was currently aboard the Eco Warship Taohua Island. He had traveled far away from Aolai Mountain and arrived at another desolate, primitive wasteland.

"This place will do!"

Wang Yi raised his hand. The Taohua Island obediently came to a halt and slowly descended to the ground.
