Chapter 39 – Ghost

The world was exactly the same as when he left it last time. It was as if the whole world was frozen at the moment he left, except for the immortal sword that was chasing him.

The immortal sword had disappeared without a trace.

Su Yun cautiously looked around while moving quickly towards Qiu Shuijing\'s corpse.

He had to get what he wanted from the immortal diagram in front of Qiu Shuijing\'s corpse before the immortal sword sensed him, and then leave this place!

His time was extremely short, and he had to hurry and not delay!

He flew to Qiu Bo\'s corpse, bowed to Qiu Bo, and then raised his hand, imprinting his palm on the transparent immortal diagram!

The immortal diagram suddenly opened up, and his inner thoughts were reflected in the immortal diagram!

In the immortal diagram, sunlight poured down and reflected the mountains and rivers. Suddenly, towering mountains appeared, and a white ape leaped through the forest like a bird.

The white ape stopped at the mountaintop, breathed in and out towards the sun, and the sunlight above its head was gathered together, forming a foot-sized fireball that rose and fell with the white ape\'s breath.

While the white ape breathed and exercised its muscles, its muscles were as tough as iron, and it had more muscles than humans!

The tendons on its back were also more than double, and even thicker!

"The white ape\'s body may be strong, but it still can\'t compare to a real dragon!" Su Yun thought.

The white ape\'s tribulation suddenly came, and it was not a crocodile dragon or a thunder tribulation that the whole village ate, but a thunder and fire tribulation. Clumps of heavenly fire fell from the sky and bombarded the white ape.

--It was called thunder and fire because the fireball exploded as soon as it reached the white ape, erupting with explosive thunder.

When the fist-sized thunder and fire exploded, the flames could sweep an area of several acres, which was extremely amazing!

The white ape was fighting against the tribulation of thunder and fire on the mountaintop. It was also undergoing tribulation and transformation, evolving into a golden ape!

Its posture and movements were in line with the Ape King\'s Breathing Method in the Immortal Ape\'s Cultivation Manual!

While watching the white ape\'s tribulation, Su Yun compared it to the Ape King\'s Breathing Method. Everything that he didn\'t understand or couldn\'t comprehend before suddenly became clear, and there were no more obstacles!

This was almost equivalent to a white ape undergoing tribulation teaching him how to cultivate the Ape King\'s Breathing Method, even more profound than what Qiu Shuijing and other famous teachers had taught him!

Su Yun quickly comprehended it, and the white ape\'s every move in fighting against the tribulation of thunder and fire was clear and distinct. He could even see the white ape\'s muscles moving, the stretching and contraction of its tendons, and even the way its blood and qi flowed!

Especially the blood and qi, when compared with the first part of the Immortal Ape\'s Cultivation Manual, it was even more rewarding!

The Ape King\'s Breathing Method had six moves: White Ape Hanging from a Tree, Ancient Stream Flying Across, Moon in the Well, Old Ape Holding the Bell, Capturing the Heart Ape, and Ape King Flicking the Sword.

Su Yun compared these six moves with the first part of the manual, and then recalled the scene of the white ape turning sunlight into a fireball with its breath, suddenly realizing everything!

He had finally understood the first and second parts of the Immortal Ape\'s Cultivation Manual!



"So that\'s it!"Su Yun\'s eyes flickered. He had followed Mr. Ye Hu for six years to study the Old Holy Scriptures. Although he had not achieved much, the reason why the Old Holy Scriptures were difficult to learn was precisely because they were obscure.

In these six years, he had studied the Old Holy Scriptures thoroughly but had not found any use for them. However, after he came into contact with the new Saint\'s ultimate skills from the outside world, he found that understanding the new Saint\'s ultimate skills had become incredibly easy!

He quickly learned the "Hong Lu Shan Bian" and "Xian Yuan Yang Qi Pian"!

"The most wonderful thing about the \'Yuan Gong Jue\' is the last move, \'Yuan Gong Tan Jian\'! I wonder if this move can deal with that immortal sword?"

Just as Su Yun thought of this, a sword light suddenly appeared in the immortal diagram!

The sword light flashed by and the white ape, who was crossing the tribulation, made the posture of "Yuan Gong Tan Jian". It hit the immortal sword with a "ding" sound.

"Blocked?" Su Yun was both surprised and delighted.

The next moment, the white ape was split neatly in half.

Su Yun was horrified and turned around to run away. When he caught a glimpse of the white ape being split open, the structure inside its body also appeared in his mind.

"This is a good opportunity for \'Ge Wu Zhi Zhi\' to understand the structure of the white ape\'s body, simulate it with blood and qi, and strengthen the power of \'Yuan Gong Jue\', but that sword was too terrifying!"

He ran as fast as he could along the stone bridge towards the Heavenly Gate!

The sound of a bell rang out. It was the sound of the immortal sword chasing after him through the air!

"This sword seems to be faster than before!"

Su Yun was oppressed by the sword light and couldn\'t see anything in front of him. He closed his eyes and sensed that the speed of the immortal sword was increasing, faster than the last time he was here. He couldn\'t help but feel scared.

"With the changes of the \'Jiao Long Yin\' and the power of \'Yuan Gong Jue\', I can definitely escape!"

Su Yun urged his blood and qi. His two thighs instantly became incredibly thick, like a wild ape. He crouched and jumped, moving at lightning speed.

When he reached the broken bridge, the young man leaped into the air. He transformed from an ape into a dragon and jumped into the Heavenly Gate!

The immortal sword flashed past him!

Su Yun returned to his body and wiped his forehead. His forehead was covered in cold sweat.

The bonfire was still burning, but the flames were smaller than before. n0veluSb.c0m

Su Yun added some firewood to the fire. The light illuminated his face, and he thought of his recent experience with lingering fear.

"Even the \'Yuan Gong Tan Jian\' couldn\'t block that sword! That sword was faster than before!"

Su Yun calmed down and looked at the bonfire with a deep gaze. If he couldn\'t block that sword, he could only sneak into the Heavenly Gate and couldn\'t explore what was in that world.

That world must be hiding countless secrets.

More importantly, what would be the next form of human evolution, and what kind of tribulation would they have to cross?

Were the people in Tianmen Town, including Qu Bo, looking for the next form of human evolution?"Have these elders crossed their tribulation?"

With countless thoughts in his mind, Su Yun sat by the fire, adding firewood from time to time.

Just then, a cold laugh came from outside the door, "The Holy Lord has really hidden some delicious food here!"

Su Yun was shocked, and a gust of yin wind blew open the door. The flames of the bonfire beside him suddenly turned a dismal green!

The young man shivered from the cold, "A demonic thing has come in!"

The flames of the bonfire swayed backward, and suddenly began to spin. The green flames were pulled higher and higher, as if they were about to ignite the roof of the room.

The firewood in the bonfire burned visibly fast and was about to turn into ashes!

Su Yun hurriedly threw more firewood into the fire, fearing that the bonfire would go out.

But the newly added firewood just wouldn\'t light up!

The green flames seemed to have no temperature at all!

The yin wind blowing from outside grew stronger and stronger. Just as the bonfire was about to burn out, a bright electric light flashed in the west wing of the room, blindingly bright.

Accompanying the electric light was a deafening thunder, and then the flames of the bonfire returned to their normal color. The firewood Su Yun had just added started to burn.

Hua Hu, Li Xiaofan, and others were awakened by the sound of thunder. Looking around, everything seemed normal. Suddenly, there was a sound of something heavy falling in the courtyard of the Holy Lord Temple.

Su Yun stood up and approached the window, opening a gap to look out. He saw a huge head the size of a small mountain falling into the courtyard of the temple, black as pitch and it was unclear where it had fallen from.

Hua Hu also came over to look and when they saw the head, they were both shocked.

Su Yun comforted the little foxes, "It\'s okay, it\'s okay, the snow knocked down the east wall."

The three little fox spirits believed him and went back to sleep. Hu Buping made a babbling sound, curling up with his tail, dreaming about something.

"Second brother, we\'re out of dry firewood. You stay here and watch the fire, I\'ll go to the east wing and get some firewood," Su Yun whispered.

"Be careful!" Hua Hu warned solemnly.

Su Yun quietly got up and opened the door, walking out. Hua Hu silently closed the door behind him.

Suddenly, the huge head in the courtyard of the Holy Lord Temple shook, startling Su Yun who quickly stopped. Hua Hu was watching from the window, her heart almost in her throat.

The monster head moved again, but didn\'t do anything else.

Su Yun cautiously walked around it.

Suddenly, he saw a huge figure swaying outside the temple wall. He looked up and saw a giant more than ten zhang high, much taller than the main hall of the Holy Lord Temple, walking around outside!

The giant seemed to be blindfolded and couldn\'t see anything around him, reaching out his hands to feel around.

Su Yun looked closely and was horrified to see that the giant had no head on his neck!

He walked around outside the temple, as if feeling around for his own head!

Su Yun became even more cautious and quietly walked towards the east wing. At this moment, a black hand reached over the temple wall, groping around.Su Yun hurriedly opened the door to the east wing and quietly closed it behind him just as the big hand was about to grab him. The hand searched around for a moment before moving on, and Su Yun quickly grabbed a bundle of firewood and quietly opened and closed the door, heading towards the west wing along the wall.

At that moment, the big hand from the front blocked his way, while another big hand appeared behind him, trapping him. Su Yun gritted his teeth and ran towards the big head that had fallen from the sky.

The head was still moving and making noise, and Su Yun held his breath as he walked towards the west wing, where the fire was gradually dying down. He hurried his pace, but the two big hands finally found the head and lifted it up by its messy hair.

The head, which had been face down in the courtyard, was now swung back and forth like a drum as the eyes, as big as washbasins, opened and shone with a green light.

Su Yun turned around and faced the head, not hesitating to grab two sticks of firewood and shoot them at the head with his finger. The sticks made a sharp sound as they hit the head\'s eyes, causing it to cry out in pain. The headless body outside held the head in one hand and rubbed its neck with the other, as if trying to rub its eyes.

Su Yun rushed towards the west wing and Hua Hu quickly opened the door. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the temple as horses neighed and stomped their feet. Someone shouted, "Uncle, there\'s a fire ahead! Those little rabbits who killed Yuan Wu must be hiding there!"
