Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear-Chapter 375 - 354: First-Grade Great Illusion King Insect

Chapter 375: Chapter 354: First-Grade Great Illusion King Insect

One night passed without a word.

Early the next morning, Wang Wu had once again transformed into Big Carp Er Gou!

That damned Big Macaque, this name actually suits it well.

Hmm, what a wonderful day it is, Wang Wu happily swam around the pond.

Indeed, in just one night, the previously three-meter diameter small water pit had turned into a large pond.

The widest part was already twenty meters, and the deepest part was nearly a meter deep. The spring was silent but gurgling with abundant water, forming a creek that had already flowed over a thousand meters out.

This caused a group of monkeys to shout and make a racket, while the birds in the trees chirped loudly. Occasionally, dragonflies would skim the water’s surface, making the whole grove feel like it was celebrating.

The air along the banks of the creek had become much more humid.

As for the Big Macaque, Old Zhou, and Jia Ding Monkey, they were dumbfounded, squatting by the pond. Last night, they had only hoped to produce fifty vats of water daily.

Yes, fifty vats a day and night.

But good heavens, in just one night, so much spring water gushed out, and the water quality was pretty decent too.

Where did this water come from?

Since when was there such an underground water source?

Without hesitation, the three of them directly used Earth Escape to investigate underground.

Wang Wu smirked coldly in his heart, having already anticipated their anticipation. I set this up from several hundred miles upstream and used pressurized jetting methods. If you think you can find the source, honestly, it’s beyond your capability.

For the entire day, the Big Macaque, Old Zhou, and Jia Ding Monkey were all troubled by the issue of the underground water source, treating it like a major threat, fearing the water was stolen.

However, by evening, they finally gave up, squatting by the further expanded pond, staring at Wang Wu as if a flower had grown on him.

"Brother Er Gou, I, Big Macaque, have misjudged you. You truly are a direct descendant of the King of Xijiang. I admire this water-finding ability of yours, but can you tell me how you did it?"

Wang Wu wagged his tail and spat out a small gray seal. Want to know? I want to book next month’s Spiritual Qi salary.

"Damn!"

The Big Macaque fell silent, thinking it better to call him "dad" than give up Spiritual Qi!

Old Zhou burst out laughing, "Big Macaque, why are you being so stubborn? Since a whole day has passed and the Xijiang side hasn’t come over to make accusations, it means there’s no trouble. Even if the water was stolen, so what? Without catching us on the spot, our Brother Er Gou is just a Dragon Bi!"

"And to be honest, Big Macaque, don’t think you can avoid offending both sides. That way, you’ll just offend both. I think that from today, we at Bear Ridge should gear up, just in case. You know, the Jade Cauldron Immortal Alliance won’t interfere at the Mountain Master and Water Lord level, and fights over territory often happen."

"And don’t forget, in ten years, it will be Little Cold, and then Great Cold..."

Old Zhou’s expression turned inexplicably stern at this point, and as for the Big Macaque, he couldn’t help but shiver, his face slightly changing, as if something terrifying was going to happen during these cold periods.

Wang Wu was also curious, but these two remained silent, speaking in riddles, which made him hate riddle talkers the most!

Then these three guys just left.

Damn!

Wang Wu was speechless, but there was nothing he could do, so he took out the fur from last night, transformed into Big Carp, and once again headed to the West River Basin, stealing water like crazy, until he could no longer fill the underground water reservoir of the Profound Iron Reservoir.

In the days that followed, the Big Macaque, Old Zhou, and Jia Ding Monkey were nowhere to be seen, seemingly busy with cultivation. Damn, what about me? Who’s going to take care of me? Doesn’t this future King of Numinous Power deserve some respect?

Without legitimate, legal Spiritual Qi, he couldn’t even cheat!

At that moment, he remembered his stash, the Spirit Stones that his good buddy Liu Zongbai had given him as a parting gift.

"I wonder if these Spirit Stones are legal?"

Wang Wu pondered for a long time and finally decided to give it a try, but it couldn’t be him; he needed to find a thick-skinned, kind-hearted friend to help.

He searched around for a half day and finally set his eyes on Master Mu.

Hey, it seemed like destiny; this guy even had the same name as one he’d used before.

So on a dark and windy night, Wang Wu silently approached that crooked neck tree, which was Master Mu, and confirmed it with a glance.

Then, Wang Wu directly used Earth Escape, diving underground. Soon, he saw Master Mu’s dense root system and the various protective arrays he had set up.

But all I can say is this fellow is quite pitiful, not even as capable as the Master Mu in General Xuelang’s family.

Malnourished and naturally neutered, as said by Grandpa Tree’s information database.

Thus his path of cultivation is extremely tough.

Previously, Big Macaque’s eyes were truly blind. He actually bet on Master Mu, thinking Master Mu could turn things around for him.

Hehehe, that idiot! It would be a surprise if he doesn’t lose everything!

What kind of eyesight is that!

Does Master Mu look like something worth cherishing?

Terrible, plus there’s an incurable ailment... Oh, it’s hit by Yang Thunder. Wow, Thunderstruck Wood!

Good stuff!

"Urgent appraisal: It’s dying, advise not to mess with it."

Grandpa Tree’s information database suddenly issued a warning, seeming quite mournful.

"Give me a reason?"

Wang Wu was taken aback; he really hadn’t seen it.

"Grandpa Tree’s information database identifies it as belonging to the Ancient Tree Race, but it’s been neutered, so it can’t reproduce anymore. Cultivating is pointless. If you want to learn some information, you can place that Hundred-Change Ruyi Demon Leaf on it, and it will recognize you as a kindred. Maybe, it will leave some last words for you."

"You’re sure you’re not deceiving me?"

"Xiongpi Clan’s information database: Silly child, it’s come to this point, there’s no need to deceive you. The Ancient Tree Race led by Grandpa Tree is now all in the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance. If they’ve also been neutered, the Ancient Tree Spirit Race will be extinct. I don’t know if they regret the jailbreak, but maybe we’ve all misunderstood the entity that imprisoned us in the Great Wilderness Sin Prison."

"Peacock Clan’s information database: Since you’re so impressive, so Dragon Bi, why not use the Earth Demon Thirty-Six Transformations to become like Master Mu? That little fish, you’ll take ages to develop, but disguising as Master Mu, no problem at all. Want to act? Just act, blaze away, who can stop me?"

"Attribute bar: Seconded!"

——

It makes sense! Wang Wu was genuinely tempted because that little carp Er Gou was really restraining him!

"Alright! Provide technical support, I’ll give it a try!" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Wang Wu immediately emerged from the ground again, took out that Hundred-Change Ruyi Demon Leaf, and gently placed it on the crooked-neck tree. In that instant, the leaf miraculously turned into a leaf of the tree itself, and suddenly couldn’t be found.

Of course, Wang Wu didn’t panic—if the monk could run, the temple couldn’t!

After a while, the crooked-neck tree suddenly shuddered slightly, and the next second, an elderly voice came from underground, "Since you’re a friend of my Ancient Tree Race, come underground to meet me, it’s not safe above."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wu tunneled underground again, only to find a small wooden cottage had appeared amidst the chaotic roots, lit by a candle. An old man with white hair sat inside.

Wang Wu hesitated a moment then, by Grandpa Tree’s guidance, slowly transformed into human form.

"Eh? You’re an Evil Demon—no, you’re an escapee. Heard years ago the Great Wilderness Sin Prison was broken open, and a batch of escapees fled. I was just wondering then, is there anyone of my kind? Now it seems I’m somewhat lucky."

"Have a seat; it’s simple here but absolutely safe. Don’t worry. Since you found me, you must have a Great Illusion King Insect guiding you. Take it out—let me see." The old man smiled warmly, seemingly on the brink of death, yet his gaze was sharp.

Wang Wu shook his head, "Sorry, I don’t know how to take it out."

"Haha, I see. This little one, such strong vigilance. Which is proper. Here I have a nearly dying First-Grade Great Illusion King Insect, it’s been with me for three hundred thousand years. I’ve gone incognito, hiding multiple times, even neutering myself just to survive until today. Alas, can’t dodge forever."

Saying this, the old man huffed and puffed and pulled out a nearly wilted root from his head.

"Take it, take it. It’s dying, and merging with your Great Illusion King Insect might save it yet. It recorded lots of information, some perhaps destroyed, some vague, but even remnants are precious for you. Information—information is the most important, the true reason those indescribable entities hunt my Ancient Tree Race."

"Indescribable entities? Who are they?" Wang Wu was surprised.

The old man shook his head, "You know. You could say because you’re an escapee, you haven’t been marked with the Golden Seal, aren’t monitored by the Spirit Net, but I can’t say—saying will bring misfortune."

Wang Wu suddenly realized; the word "Immortal" almost slipped out, but he held it back.

By then, the Four Clowns were already arguing in his mind—they all wanted to merge with the dying Great Illusion King Insect.

Yet Wang Wu hesitated mainly about that rotten tree root...

Furthermore, if Master Mu lived for three hundred thousand years, isn’t he older than Grandpa Tree?

As he was torn, he found the old man across suddenly closed his eyes, breathing ceased, and the candle began flickering rapidly, as if it would go out.

"Hurry, why are you hesitating, quickly consume the Great Illusion King Insect, otherwise, when the candle goes out, it’s completely dead!"

The Four Clowns got anxious, abandoning proper format entirely.

Wang Wu glanced at the candle, then no longer hesitated, reached for the wilted tree root—only to be ridiculed by the Four Clowns.

What—the candle is the Great Illusion King Insect’s true form, damn it!

Why didn’t you say earlier!
