Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 259 - 167: Celestial Profound Realm, Taking the Spiritual Liquid
The power of heaven and earth filled the cave.
The imagined scene of darkness, dampness, and decay did not appear.
On the contrary, a beam of light shone from the depths of the cave, bathing Jiang Feng in the morning glow. His entire body felt an indescribable comfort and openness, and he finally understood how Liu Jinhu could recover to his peak in such a short time.
This was a treasure cultivation place.
"Kee kee kee!"
At the cave entrance, the monkeys wailed mournfully. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
The monkey horde tried to break through the array, wanting to enter the cave.
Unfortunately, although the array covering the entrance had already been damaged and could no longer block Jiang Feng, it was still able to keep the monkey swarm outside. However, as the monkeys desperately slammed into the shimmering barrier—
At this rate, the array wouldn’t hold for long before collapsing.
"Aaaoo!"
Far away, surrounded by monkeys, Liu Jinhu felt massive fluctuations from the formation. Seeing the monkey horde blocking the cave, he leapt thirty meters into the air and slashed out with his sword from a distance.
The dazzling sword qi, spanning a hundred meters, cut down in a single strike, slicing into the monkeys at the entrance.
"Kee kee!"
"Aaaaah!"
This single strike ripped open the monkeys’ flesh; countless monkeys lost their lives in an instant.
"Roar!"
The White Ape roared in fury.
Holding a black iron staff, it leapt into the air above Liu Jinhu, smashing down with its weapon.
Several of its powerful Vajra followers surged forward, trying to overwhelm Liu Jinhu with sheer numbers.
"Buzz!"
A layer of gang shield appeared again over Liu Jinhu’s body.
Black mist boiled ominously.
This was not only a body-protecting shield; it also fused the embryonic domain of a Celestial Profound Realm expert, turning the shield rock-solid. The White Ape’s iron staff struck fiercely, but couldn’t shatter it in one blow.
"Beast!"
Liu Jinhu landed swiftly on the ground.
He unleashed a flurry of palm techniques, pressing toward the White Ape, trying to kill it in the shortest time possible.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
Every palm carried the force of mountains crashing and oceans overturning.
The White Ape was beaten back step by step; even the iron staff in its hand was knocked away.
But fortunately, it had countless underlings; especially those Vajra elites, who, joining forces, could still threaten Liu Jinhu and buy the White Ape a chance to catch its breath.
"Roar!"
The White Ape couldn’t control its furious howl.
Balled fists shaking with power.
Its feet stomped the ground, and the whole valley seemed to shudder violently.
"Kee kee kee!"
The monkeys all around the valley instantaneously boiled over, as if inspired by its command, swarming ferociously at Liu Jinhu.
Tiny monkeys, no bigger than a palm—like squirrels—rained down from the trees or leapt from the cliffs above, biting at Liu Jinhu. They had no fear of death; even knowing they would be shredded to powder by his protective gang qi, they didn’t hesitate.
Even those crowding the cave mouth, trying to break the array and rush in for the Spiritual Spring, abandoned the idea at the White Ape’s command and all pounced toward Liu Jinhu.
"Are these monkeys insane?"
Jiang Feng had already retreated deeper into the cave, always keeping an eye on the monkeys at the entrance. He wanted to find another way out; as for the Spiritual Spring, it held no real allure for him.
Staying far from this place of trouble and avoiding being discovered by Liu Jinhu and the White Ape was his primary goal.
Seeing the monkey horde at the cave entrance nearly gone, Jiang Feng leapt above the entrance and stood on a rock that put him in line with the cave opening outside.
Jiang Feng saw the monkeys in the valley piling up into a small mountain, densely packed, countless monkeys scrambling up as if they could exhaust Liu Jinhu by sheer numbers alone.
The scene was enough to send chills down one’s spine.
Jiang Feng could see, in the midst of the monkey mountain, sword light flashed indistinctly, and waves of bloody mist surged out—obviously, Liu Jinhu was in a killing frenzy; every moment, countless monkeys died beneath his sword.
"Roar!"
But the White Ape’s furious roar only grew louder. It didn’t care at all about the monkey horde’s casualties; it just wanted to kill Liu Jinhu, defend the dignity of the Monkey Race, and claim the Spiritual Spring for itself.
"This is terrifying. If I were surrounded by these monkeys, there’s no way I could fight bravely like Liu Jinhu."
Jiang Feng muttered to himself.
Then he climbed down from the stone above the cave.
"If I don’t leave now, when will I?"
Now, with all the monkeys focused on Liu Jinhu, not even trying to storm the cave, it was the perfect moment for Jiang Feng to escape the valley alive.
"That Spiritual Spring?"
Just as he was about to leave, Jiang Feng couldn’t help glancing deeper into the cave.
He saw there really was a Spiritual Spring here.
Deep in the cave was a pool, and above it, a glowing crystal stone drip-fed spiritual liquid into the pool. As the liquid accumulated, the crystal’s glow grew dimmer and dimmer.
In the center of the pool rose a stone, and atop it sat a jade bottle that caught each drop of falling spiritual liquid. Jiang Feng saw the bottle was only eight-tenths full—collecting a whole bottle seemed difficult, for as the crystal dimmed, the spiritual liquid’s dripping slowed and lessened.
Though it was his first time encountering such a treasure—
Jiang Feng could tell each drop of this spiritual liquid was worth untold riches, a tremendous boon to any cultivator; if refined and taken, his True Essence would surely soar.
He might even break through his cultivation immediately, perhaps not even needing Fortune Points to do so.
"To take it, or not?"
Jiang Feng hesitated.
If he took the jade bottle and all the spiritual liquid, it would mean endless pursuit; if Liu Jinhu or the Second Prince discovered it, there would be nowhere to hide, not even in heaven or earth.
