Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill

"Young friend, the owner of this place is a figure from seven thousand years ago, Yiquan Recluse! As for this master, I have never seen him, I am a descendant of the first generation of long-armed apes by dozens of generations! Look inside this cave, these are the skeletal remains of the powerful ancestors of my long-armed ape lineage!"

As he spoke, the long-armed ape pointed with a finger, a stream of light shot into the cave, illuminating the dark cave, allowing Li Yunjing to see rows of skeletal remains laid out on the ground.

"This..."

Li Yunjing was extremely shocked, inside was almost a small mountain of white bones. He wondered how each generation of long-armed apes reproduced, and why only one was left.

"Hehe! Curious about why the whole clan disappeared? Leaving just me alone?"

The long-armed ape sneered, "The weak ones born naturally died and became food. The strong ones could barely survive and activate their bloodline power, becoming demons."

"But even demons have a day when their lifespan ends!"

"Qi Refining Realm, Foundation Establishment Realm, Golden Core Realm, all are different!"

"Now, those who should die and those who shouldn’t, all are dead, leaving just me!"

"If within two hundred years I can’t escape this place and reach extreme distances to advance to Tier Four, I’ll hardly escape old age and death!"

"I see!"

Listening to the long-armed ape’s words, Li Yunjing’s expression turned solemn; only now did he understand how difficult it was for this long-armed ape to survive.

Li Yunjing asked again, "What about other demon beasts here? Is it just your long-armed ape clan?"

While asking, Li Yunjing constantly recalled the contents of the Shenxiao Jade Scroll in his mind, seeking information about Yiquan Recluse.

But the records from seven thousand years ago were not even noted in the Shenxiao Jade Scroll!

This made Li Yunjing quite distressed!

Unable to find the information, he could only listen to the long-armed ape’s claims, unable to distinguish truth from falsehood.

"Of course, there are other demon beasts too, but their fate is similar to my long-armed ape clan. Wasted away for over seven thousand years, those clans were not as lucky as my long-armed ape clan, still managing to survive one."

Speaking of this, the long-armed ape’s mouth revealed a self-mocking smile.

"Alas!"

Li Yunjing sighed pretentiously, seeming to sympathize deeply with the plight of these demon races.

In reality, Li Yunjing’s heart was not moved at all.

If these demon races truly rested and reproduced over seven thousand years, growing into huge clans, it would be an enormous disaster for the human race!

Right now, Li Yunjing’s mind had only one thought, "Heaven bless the human race!"

"Alright! What you should know, you already know. Will you help me escape? Once I’m out, you can gain great benefits and those people behind can no longer threaten you."

The long-armed ape continued.

"Okay! That’s no problem!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Li Yunjing nodded, but didn’t act, instead continued asking, "Senior, the chains on your body?"

"These chains are nothing! They can seal my own blood and energy, preventing the waste of life force in this damned place!"

As he spoke, the long-armed ape grabbed, and the iron chains locked on his limbs were pulled away, hanging on his body.

"Goodness! These iron chains have instead become this demon king’s magical treasure!"

Li Yunjing nodded and smiled, "Saving senior is no problem! Now, please make a Heavenly Dao oath! First, don’t repay kindness with vengeance, don’t harm me; second, help me get everything in the study; third, if the two subsequent groups target me, you must protect my safety!"

"Hmm?"

Hearing Li Yunjing’s three demands, the long-armed ape’s face turned extremely sour. Initially, it thought it could use Li Yunjing to open the cage, then casually crush this insignificant person and eat some blood food for a treat.

Unexpectedly, this ant was extremely cunning, thinking of ways to counter itself.

Heavenly Dao oath!

Such a terrifying oath!

Especially since the long-armed ape’s cultivation was already at Golden Core Realm Eighth Heaven, with a high chance of advancing to Nascent Soul Realm and living another thousand years!

A Heavenly Dao oath absolutely cannot be violated, otherwise, the long-armed ape would almost certainly not smoothly advance to Nascent Soul Realm!

This made it extremely uncomfortable!

"Fine! I agree! I’ll swear now!"

Seeing Li Yunjing’s firm expression, unwilling to save him without a vow, the long-armed ape had no choice but to agree to the oath.

The long-armed ape didn’t play any tricks, knowing Li Yunjing was tough to deal with, so it could only honestly follow Li Yunjing’s demands and make the Heavenly Dao oath.

"Great! Senior! You can guide me on unlocking now!"

After listening to the oath, Li Yunjing’s face showed a smile, quickly following the ape’s guidance, using a particular sequence to infuse mana into Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang as the long-armed ape specified.

"Click..."

Sure enough, this time, the door lock opened.

After the gate opened, the long-armed ape had already walked out from behind the gate.

"Congratulations, senior, on your escape, with a brilliant future ahead!"

Li Yunjing smiled and made a respectful gesture towards the long-armed ape.

"Hmm! Let’s go! I’ll first help you retrieve the things inside the study!"

Looking at Li Yunjing’s annoying smile, the long-armed ape felt extremely disgusted, now it only wanted to fulfill the Heavenly Dao oath and stay far away from this annoying human.

"Great! Thank you, senior!"

Li Yunjing was elated, following the long-armed ape back to the study in the second courtyard.
