CHAPTER 1065: CHAPTER 1039 JIUZHOU CITY

Tangyu didn’t really mind it, since Liang Kingdom had already set their sights on him anyway. As long as he entered Jiuzhou City, no matter how formidable Liang Kingdom was, they wouldn’t dare make a move against him.

However, since everyone felt it was too conspicuous, it’s better to avoid using it. The Immortal Boat is also considered a major trump card for survival, so it’s best not to expose it unless absolutely necessary.

Therefore, after some discussion, everyone agreed to go to a nearby town to buy a horse-drawn carriage for the journey. After all, Jiuzhou City was already quite close, and they could definitely arrive by this evening.

Once over the mountain, a lush green meadow stretched out, making the scenery exceptionally pleasant.

From afar, Tangyu and his companions could see a flock of sheep grazing leisurely on the grasslands. Such a pastoral scene was extremely rare to behold. Even on Earth, Tangyu hadn’t seen such a view, it indeed had a beautiful and natural vibe.

A melodious song echoed from afar, the voice crisp like a chime and youthful, sounding as though it belonged to a small girl. Yet, this voice was as heavenly as a celestial choir, remarkably enchanting. It made one feel deeply moved, as if the voice held an indescribable magic power, so comforting and warm, resembling the gentle lullabies sung by a mother putting you to sleep during childhood.

This extraordinarily warm sensation indeed felt too comforting, akin to a fish returning to the pond or a bird returning to the forest.

As long as one listened to this song, all troubles seemed to vanish instantly, even prompting a surge of vigor, as if it had a healing effect, making Tangyu and his companions highly curious.

This voice, it seemed a bit odd, didn’t it?

Tangyu couldn’t help but recall Mo Qianqian, another little girl who loved to sing. Her voice was equally melodious, akin to a celestial choir. But there was indeed a difference; Mo Qianqian’s singing was delightful, but only within the realm of her voice’s innate beauty. The voice before them, however, possessed an inexplicable magic power, very peculiar indeed.

Tangyu and his companions exchanged glances, then proceeded in the voice’s direction. As they approached, they realized the singer was indeed a little girl about seven or eight years old. She looked extremely innocent and adorable, with two ponytails, playing joyfully with the sheep, carefree and innocent. On the grassland, she sang a shepherd’s song, danced around, and played happily with the flock—a very heartwarming scene indeed.

Not only the sheep, but many butterflies surrounded her as well, fluttering around her.

What an adorable little girl!

Though it perplexed everyone, why did her voice possess such magic power, such infectiousness? Not only affecting humans but evidently the sheep and butterflies as well. Under her care, the sheep were exceptionally obedient, not wandering off or making a noise. The butterflies seemed enchanted too, fluttering around the little girl, playing with her.

This beautiful scene made it hard for anyone to leave, reluctant to disrupt it, as though their souls were purified, making Tangyu and his companions quietly stand there watching.

Roar—

Suddenly, a deafening roar like a thunderbolt shattered the serene atmosphere, instantly destroying the beautiful sensation.

The little girl, startled by the sudden roar, immediately covered her head and crouched down. The sheep, frightened as well, scattered in all directions, and the little girl was on the verge of tears, screaming: "Ahhh!!"

Tangyu’s gaze sharpened, scanning the surroundings, and saw a massive black-haired creature resembling a giant gorilla charging toward them, towering over ten meters tall. Its entire body was covered in oily black hair, looking ferocious and terrifying, with jagged yellow teeth that made one’s scalp tingle with fear.

This Black Vajra, with bloodshot eyes, was charging crazily toward them, filled with murderous intent, causing Tangyu and his companions to tense up, sensing danger in the air.

The Black Vajra lunged at the sheep, casually snatching up two and stuffing them into its mouth.

"Ah, no—" The little girl suddenly let out a sharp cry as a sacred and radiant light shot from her hand, directly hitting the Black Vajra. Upon being struck by this light, the creature’s movements immediately became sluggish, and the redness in its eyes seemed to diminish considerably. It loosened its grip, allowing the two sheep to fall to the ground, and once free, they fled frantically.

Witnessing this scene, Tangyu and his companions were astounded again, "This is— the power of the Light Path! This little girl actually possesses the power of the Light Path, and this power is at the Mystic Law Realm level!"

Upon this realization, Tangyu and his companions were shocked to an unfathomable degree.

Mystic Law Realm at seven or eight years old?

Not heard of such achievement, it seemed utterly impossible. Even though Tangyu was considered a prodigy, he only reached the Mystic Law Realm at over twenty years old. What was he doing at seven or eight? At that age, he was learning traditional medicine under his Master, Ghost Doctor, handling daily chores. At seven or eight, he had only learned some worldly Kung Fu.

Even Xing Tian, another gifted talent, reached Mystic Law Realm at sixteen.

Mystic Law Realm at seven or eight, none of them had heard of such a thing. And it’s not merely about reaching Mystic Law Realm; she directly established a Light Dao Foundation, which is incredibly heaven-defying!

The Light Path, like the Yin Yang Path, is a Great Dao, with very few able to cultivate it directly. Along Tangyu’s journey, he hadn’t encountered anyone else who could directly build a Dao Foundation like him. Such people are as rare as phoenix feathers.

But this little girl, merely seven or eight years old, had directly built a Light Dao Foundation. It was inconceivable, utterly inconceivable, making it hard for Tangyu and everyone else to accept.

If others knew, they would probably be scared to death.

The Black Vajra only hesitated for a moment before reacting, baring its teeth at the little girl in a fierce roar, terrifying the girl, who squatted on the ground, wishing she could dig a hole to hide in.

"Kill!" Tangyu cast aside his thoughts and charged forward.

Holy Sun, Xingtian, and the others charged forward as well.

Rays of Sword Force slashed down towards the Black Vajra. Sensing the danger, the Black Vajra thumped its chest vigorously, its eyes turning blood-red, aggressively evil, as it charged at Tangyu and the others.

The little girl, seeing Tangyu and the others take action, slowly lifted her head, her tear-filled eyes watching them, her face full of tears, looking particularly pitiful and endearing.

It was a sight that could intoxicate anyone.

Rumble—

The eleven of them, extraordinary in strength, launched an attack that even an ordinary Golden Core Realm being would retreat from.

But this Black Vajra monster, with its tough skin and terrifying defense, blocked their attack without much harm done. This Black Vajra was far more formidable than the ancient beast Black Vajra they had encountered in the Moluo World. This one was clearly at the Golden Core Realm.

How could a Golden Core level monster appear here?

It was puzzling, for logically, being near the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect and under its Immortal Might, no creature should dare cause trouble here. Yet this monster seemed to have gone mad and had come anyway.

Tangyu didn’t have time to ponder much and attacked again.

Although unable to harm the monster, they managed to suppress it. Fortunately, the Black Vajra’s strength wasn’t overwhelmingly terrifying; it was its current berserk state that was alarming.

Of course, this was also because the eleven of them were exceedingly powerful. An ordinary Golden Core would back down against them, and the Black Vajra’s strength seemed to be on a typical Golden Core level. However, its defense was so strong that harming it was no easy feat.

After taking a hit from them, the Black Vajra became even more enraged, its roars echoing thunderously, its fury like a storm.

"Roar—"

Another attack from Tangyu and his group threw the Black Vajra into a complete frenzy. It raised its arms in rage, head to the sky, howling. Blood-colored light surged from its body, making its aura even more terrifying.

Feeling this terrifying aura, Tangyu and the others’ faces changed drastically.

"Not good, its power has increased. Everyone, retreat!" Tangyu shouted.

But it was a bit late; Wang Qiutian and others were directly blasted away, flying hundreds of feet before crashing into the ground, creating a deep pit in the grass, looking somewhat embarrassed. Although Tangyu, Xingtian, and Holy Sun fared a bit better, the recoil was still quite unpleasant.

The Black Vajra’s power had suddenly increased several times, becoming incredibly fearsome.

The three of them wore serious expressions; today was turning into a real predicament. They hadn’t even reached Jiuzhou City yet and had already encountered such a major problem.

With gritted teeth, Tangyu prepared to use the Power of Divine Demon. Qi Xingtian, who hadn’t taken action yet, also stepped in. After all, being a Golden Core Realm being, Qi Xingtian’s intervention stopped the Black Vajra monster from launching further furious assaults on Tangyu and the others.

The three of them could finally catch their breath.

"Hmm, a Golden Core Realm existence, indeed a Golden Core!" Seeing Qi Xingtian’s action, Holy Sun’s eyes flickered but soon calmed. He had long suspected Qi Xingtian’s strength but never questioned Tangyu, considering it Tangyu’s secret. Moreover, Qi Xingtian always concealed his aura well. Previously, Holy Sun only suspected, but now it was entirely confirmed.
