Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao-Chapter 717 - 366: Purpose

Xu Fu had no energy to deal with the elders' fury, as all his attention was focused on Chen Xiang.

Seeing this, Chen Xiang sighed lightly, knowing he had to take action. Otherwise, the city would be reduced to ashes under this power, and the lives of the citizens here would also be lost.

Thus, he began to demonstrate his cultivation results for the first time, transforming into a towering giant, with golden dragons flitting before him like mere insects.

"Law of Heaven and Earth!" Xu Fu and the elders exclaimed in unison.

They had once witnessed this Great Divine Power many years ago when the First Emperor led them against the Heavenly Court. A man named Yang Jian had used this power to slay countless Qi Cultivators, the sense of helplessness deeply ingrained in their bones.

Now, recognizing the transformation in Chen Xiang, they immediately identified the legendary Great Divine Power that once shook all realms.

"He's not Yang Jian, the ages don't match," the leading elder said solemnly. He had survived that great battle and had witnessed the strength of the True Monarch of Heavenly Court himself, and could confirm it was not the one before them.

At that moment, Chen Xiang moved. It was his first time using Law of Heaven and Earth, and the impact was beyond his imagination. After all, Law of Heaven and Earth was linked to one's mana, and he had accumulated a tremendous amount of mana in this short period, which explained why his giant form was so terrifying.

In that instant, Chen Xiang felt as if he had endless strength, he couldn't help but roar loudly, causing a huge storm that formed a terrible tempest in the Nine Heavens, sweeping far and wide.

Such a horrifying spectacle left all witnesses dumbstruck. The Rakshasa Princess, watching from afar, had her eyes filled with admiration and awe towards Chen Xiang's voice.

"Chen Xiang is indeed in the Capital City. I knew that guy was bound to come here for that thing," the Rakshasa Princess said smugly.

Meanwhile, not far from the Capital City, in a mountain valley, a monkey was casually sitting on a high hill, idly eating fruits. Around him were a few female monkeys dressed in grass skirts, respectfully fanning him with banana leaves. It was Sun Shier, who had become separated from Chen Xiang.

The giant form of Chen Xiang reached the heavens, so even at such a distance, Sun Shier could see him clearly. He immediately jumped up, shouting towards the sky, "Chen Xiang, I'm here, I'm here!"

However, Chen Xiang did not respond, as the distance was too great for his voice to reach Chen Xiang's ears.

"What place is that?" Sun Shier immediately asked the group of monkeys in the valley.

"Great King, that's the human Capital City. I was captured as a youngster and performed there—it's a huge place," an elderly monkey with missing parts spoke up.

"Capital City!" Sun Shier's eyes immediately lit up.

The place sounded like a lot of fun, especially with Chen Xiang there. Besides, he was tired of being the Monkey King and felt it was time to venture out.

Throwing the banana he was holding onto the ground, Sun Shier leaped up. The surrounding monkeys were startled and grabbed their new king earnestly saying, "Great King, where are you going?"

You must know that the lives of this group of monkeys were once extremely miserable; not only were they frequently hungry, but they were also bullied by other fierce beasts in the mountains from time to time, and sometimes they were even captured by hunters and sold into human cities to endure endless suffering.

But all of that ended with the arrival of this mysterious Great King. The fearsome beasts of the mountains were like ants before him, and in a short time, he taught each of them a lesson, such that they never dared to approach the valley again.

Even the hunters with ill intentions toward them had been driven back by the Great King, who, by some unknown means, conjured a thick fog within the valley, causing anyone who entered to inexplicably find themselves back where they started.

From then on, these monkeys finally led a happy life, and Sun Shier naturally became their king.

But now, the King had chosen to leave. Just as suddenly as he had arrived, the monkeys became panic-stricken. They had grown used to Sun Shier's presence; without him, they did not know how to continue living.

Sun Shier, looking puzzled at the group of monkeys, asked somewhat bewilderedly, "Of course I'm leaving. I've been here for a while now, and it's time to leave."

"Great King, you can't go! What will we do if you leave?" The monkeys quickly became frantic. Countless monkeys rushed to Sun Shier's side, trying to make their recently-appointed king stay.

"I don't want to stay; you're not at all fun. Being the Monkey King is pretty boring, and it's more interesting to be with Chen Xiang. I'm going to find Chen Xiang to play!" Having said that, Sun Shier left without a backward glance, a Monkey Demon with cultivation, hardly the type these ordinary monkeys could keep.

In just the blink of an eye, Sun Shier's figure disappeared from the eyes of the monkeys, leaving behind only a group saddened and at a loss.

"What is Chen Xiang?" a monkey asked, puzzled.

All the monkeys shook their heads, even the wise old monkey who had been taken to many cities by monkey trainers didn't know.

From then on, the monkeys in this group persisted in searching the human world for something named Chen Xiang, sparking countless stories.

Naturally, Chen Xiang wouldn't know that because of his name, a group of monkeys would think of him incessantly for many years. At this moment, he was stretching his gigantic hands to gather together the black mist that had exploded earlier, faintly hearing the screams contained within.

Thus, under the astonished gazes of the bystanders, the black mist, initially potent enough to destroy a city, was now being compressed in the hands of the Heavenly Giant, gradually dissipating.

"Xu Fu, where are you going!" An enraged voice came from above, it was the angry roar of several elders.

After Chen Xiang had dealt with the crisis that threatened to obliterate the city, they could finally spare the effort to confront Xu Fu, the chief culprit.

Xu Fu turned and glanced up, displaying a disdainful expression, before quickly turning away. His attention had been on Chen Xiang from the start, as the young man was the existence he feared the most.

However, he soon realized that Chen Xiang seemed uninterested in making a move against him; the latter's prior action appeared to stem merely from a reluctance to see the Capital City destroyed.

Upon realizing this, a delighted smile appeared on Xu Fu's face. He suddenly burst out laughing, seizing the moment before the elders' attack could reach him to leap into the air.
