Yuanhui slowly turned his head and saw the angry pillow with white fur all over.

"Taelon Giant Ape?"

The monster angrily picked up a rock and smashed it towards the unprepared Yuanhui, who immediately flipped under the giant ape's groin.

"Hehe, little monkey, let me show you the power of my weapon."

Yuanhui said as he drew out the Falling Star Sword.

"Hey ha!"

"Roar!"

The giant ape angrily ran back into the cave.

"Hmph, now you know how powerful I am!"

"Roar, boom!"

The giant ape returned, now wielding a wolf tooth club that was nine meters long!

"..."

"Roar!"

The giant ape raised the club, accompanied by a dominant Chi howl, charging towards Yuanhui. Yuanhui's face turned pale as the roaring ape passed by his head and hit behind him.

"Boom!"

Yuanhui looked at the paused giant ape, then glanced behind him - the cave entrance was blocked!

Fortunately, the Taelon Giant Ape was an intelligent monster. The cave shone with the light emitted from fragments of luminous stones, prompting Yuanhui to act without hesitation, preparing to strike first! As an ape.

With quick reflexes, Yuanhui sheathed the Falling Star Sword and released his speed, instantly moving to the top of the cave. After compressing the Falling Star Sword for so long, his speed was now comparable to an advanced human Nine-Cores level expert.

The giant ape's club struck his afterimage, revealing a murderous intent on Yuanhui's face at the top of the cave.

"Falldown Heaven Strike!"

The ultimate move in Qi Realm, all the fragmented stones in the cave gathered on the blade, unleashing a power capable of turning peak-level experts into ashes.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The giant ape roared, lifting the club in an attempt to block this deadly strike. The Falldown Heaven Strike, containing most of Yuanhui's star core power, collided with the club. The club could not withstand the strike and shattered into pieces.

The giant ape also felt the powerful impact of the Falldown Heaven Strike and was pushed back several meters...

"Cough, cough, cough, this is not even a battle on the same level!"

Yuanhui sheathed the Falling Star Sword and gasped heavily. One Falldown Heaven Strike indeed consumed a significant amount of energy. He was fortunate to have listened to his master. If he had used this technique at the Daoist level, he might have truly lost the strength to stand up!

"Hehehe! Now you can't get up, can you?"

Yuanhui struggled to lift the fallen rocks and stood up laboriously. The consumption of the Falling Star Sword was still significant, forcing him to retrieve and decompress it.

"Roar, roar, roar...!"

"The Taelon Giant Ape, struck directly by the Falldown Heaven Strike, surprisingly has such amazing resilience!"

Yuanhui tried to see if the remaining spiritual power in his body was sufficient to kill the now somewhat weakened Taelon Giant Ape.

Wild energy fluctuations raged like a violent storm.

"The rage gas?"

Among some high-ranking monsters, many of them would unleash a final burst of rage gas on the brink of crisis, engaging in a last bloody battle.

"Hahaha!"

Yuanhui laughed loudly, unleashing another powerful hit.

"What the heck, such a frustrating thing! Trying to kill me with this trickery."

The ape's fists shook the ground, triggering an onslaught of dense spikes towards Yuanhui.

"Hey, even with your rage gas, you're still so slow and reckless, raging won't make you any smarter!"

He infused spiritual energy into his feet, greatly enhancing his agility, executing the Phantom Spirit Steps! Yuanhui's eyes narrowed slightly, transforming into a streak of light, weaving around the giant ape and unleashing a raindrop-like Dragon Return Fist at it.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The giant ape, now under attack, let out another furious roar but couldn't reach its enemy, further infuriating it!

"Excellent, the aura of slaughter will soon exhaust itself, and this guy will be mine," Yuanhui thought, smiling. However, at that moment, the entire body of the giant ape burst into flames, its eyes filled with blood-red fire, displaying a terrifying ultimate move—Reverse High-Order, Heavenly Ape Incineration!

"Heavens, I didn't expect it to have a secret move up its sleeve."

The flames engulfed the entirety of the cave and rushed towards Yuanhui standing frozen at the entrance.

"Wow, I'm done for, I'm done for!"

He tightly shut his eyes and began to pray, his face slightly pale.

After two minutes, he slowly opened one eye to find the giant ape lying lifeless ...

"..."

Yuanhui approached the giant ape's body step by step, reaching out to touch it and confirming that it had no heartbeat.

"Haha, this beast spirit is mine!"

He joyfully retrieved the pale yellow beast spirit, ready to leave. However, glancing at the raging snowstorm outside, he turned back towards the giant ape.

"Hehe, old pal, how about one last good deed?"

Saying this, he took a dagger from his bracelet and moved closer to the giant ape.

"Wow, it's really warm!"

Two minutes later, Yuanhui's face was radiant, his white fur covering his clothes.

"I even grew an extra beard."

Yuanhui grinned, putting on the fake beard he made, pretending to look fierce.

"Hehe, I am the Lord of Snow City, Commander Ikuk too!"

Exhausted, Yuanhui felt weary and knew he couldn't escape from this collapsed cave.

As for why he was in this cave, blame it on the fact that the demonic beasts in this habitat rarely ventured outside during the day, leaving Yuanhui unable to discern his direction in the snowy valley while searching for the giant ape after passing through the Skarin Line.

"At least there's no tension from the mission this time!"

Yuanhui played with the beast spirit in a relaxed mood. The beast spirit, displaying some intelligence, resisted his taunts.

Thinking of Tong'er, but the outlook seemed bleak.

"Even if I defeat Wuduantian, what's the point? Do I have to eradicate the entire Godrealm? That's somewhat unrealistic and impractical."

To save Tong'er, only a nation's strength could accomplish such a feat! Tonight, his heart was colder than snow ...

Establishing a nation required substantial funds and control over an academy to establish political power, but with Yuanhui's current abilities, he probably couldn't even sustain a single team, could he? A heavy pressure enveloped him once more.

Lost in reverie, he was soon overwhelmed by the thick drowsiness in the cave and his own physical and mental exhaustion, falling into a deep sleep.

At the inn, Wu Xian was advising Mei Die.

"Innkeeper, I believe you are a wise person. The current Holy Spirit Army is corrupt and incompetent. As long as I unite the Four Great Families, I believe we will have enough power to defeat the Holy Spirit Army! You don't need to rely on that old man to restore your noble status; it's not worth it!" Wu Xian sensed that Mei Die still clung to a glimmer of hope regarding this matter and added.

"Young girl, the curse of the evil god placed on you by your older brothers is no joke. It can not only monitor you but also take your life!"

Although the plan by Wuxian is meticulous, Meidie is still worried about it, her hands spread out on the table, her expression filled with concern.

"Senior Long, I am well aware of the situation, even if we successfully unite the four major families, facing enemies like the Holy Emperor and the Elder Council will be no less daunting than the pressure exerted by the leaders of the four major families on us!"

Wuxian also understands Meidie's concerns, but at this moment, he is not just relying on the Godrealm uprising team. Wuxian tells Meidie to seek help from his wife.

Shuangma is located in the north of the mountain range, less than a kilometer away from the Angel Country's headquarters, but it's not the right time yet.

"Let's keep in touch in the future!"

Wuxian decides to temporarily set aside this matter, getting up to leave.

"I will contact the military personnel of the four major families and the Angel Country, then gather forces to strike directly at the Holy City."

"Alright, after all, you are currently only in your avatar form, your true form has not been found yet, let's discuss this again another day."

With Meidie's affirmative tone, Wuxian smiles back at her and leaves the shopkeeper's room.

Meidie quietly parts ways with Wuxian to avoid alerting troublesome individuals, while Wuxian, upon returning to his room, immediately starts figuring out how to contact Shuangma.

The abnormalities in the world predict a change in position; the situation of the four emperors mutually suppressing each other will not last long.

The heavy snow has made the already cold Tianshan Mountains even more unbearable, and a part of the weaker Saint group can't withstand the chill here.

Yuanhui inside the cave is already feeling cold and lifeless, completely uninterested in completing the mission at this point.

"Since this cave made by the giant ape has luminous stones, why isn't there any heating equipment?"

He gets angry and tries to remove the luminous stone, but no matter how hard he pulls, he can't budge it; it seems to be fixed in place.

He scratches his slightly damp hair.

"Weird, this luminous stone doesn't seem like something an ordinary monster would leave behind!"

As he touches the dimly lit wall under the glow of the luminous stone, he carefully inspects and realizes that everything here cannot be achieved by an ordinary monster.

"Could this be an ancient ruin?"

Yuanhui's gaze falls on the collapsed cave deep inside. He tries to go closer, but is blocked by a wall after walking about a hundred meters.

"It seems there's nothing special here either."

The pitch-black wall disappoints him, so he can only check each mechanism on the wall one by one, pounding on the wall trying to find a switch, but his efforts prove futile.

Yuanhui shrugs in disappointment.

"Ah, after all this fuss, all I found is an abandoned cave, sigh, relics are indeed not something you find just because you're looking for them."

He wryly smiles as he reaches the center of the end wall and suddenly sees a three-inch golden dragon pattern carved on the wall, somewhat blurry in the dim light. Yuanhui steps closer to get a clearer look.

The dragon pattern emits a dazzling golden light, as if the golden dragon pattern is sublimating into gas and dissipating, a spatial teleportation gate rises at the entrance.

"It seems there's no ancient ruin here, but there's a wormhole leading to one."

Yuanhui is ecstatic, after passing through the wormhole, he finds himself underwater, this is the underwater kingdom, unfortunately long abandoned!

Yuanhui steps up the steps, observing left and right. On both sides are sculptures of dragons, and there are signs of the Elder Council on the side of the palace, indicating that this was the capital city of the continent two thousand years ago!

In the grand hall, twenty-four dragon columns evenly propped up the eaves on both sides, and the most eye-catching, much to Yuanhui's astonishment, was the three-zhang-high colored sculpture—Wu Xian—in the center of the hall.

The master's colored sculpture stood tall in the center of the hall, and at the far end, one could see a pond. It seemed as if it were only night here, with a crescent moon hanging in the sky motionlessly.

Yuanhui also solemnly bowed to Wu Xian and stepped forward to wipe off the dust on the sculpture. He carefully touched the sculpture, gently activating the power of the star nucleus to remove the dust with palm winds.

As he diligently cleaned the statue, he accidentally discovered a map imprinted on the base of the sculpture.

Yuanhui carefully wiped off the dust and found a three-word place name—Northern Country Prefecture!

"Northern Country Prefecture?"

Yuanhui was puzzled, his eye twitching slightly.

"This is the Soul Demon Sea at the easternmost edge of the mainland! But…"

He seemed to remember something, recalling what his teacher had said—that there were several paths leading to various places on the mainland from here, and he must have triggered one of the entrances himself.
