Chapter 377 - Ferocious Beast Relict Population
Chapter 377 Ferocious Beast Relict Population
Although these were only the remnant population of ferocious beasts, it was enough to make Cui Heng even more convinced that the System’s surveillance was correct.
This world was indeed a high-level Xianxia space-time dimension. Ferocious beasts were everywhere, and it was extremely dangerous.
“Now that there’s news of some ferocious beasts, what realm is an Immortal King at?” Cui Heng thought to himself. “It seems that the reason why I couldn’t come into contact with the true situation of this world earlier was because my realm cultivation was not high enough.”
He fell into deep thought, scaring Wu Yong.
Seeing that Cui Heng was silent for a long time, Wu Yong thought that he was dissatisfied with his answer and hurriedly explained, “Exalted Immortal, I’ve already explained everything I know clearly. I’m not hiding anything.”
“Alright.” Cui Heng nodded slightly and looked at Wu Yong as he said indifferently, “You can avoid death, but you can’t escape punishment. Since you like to be an infant, I’ll punish you to remain as an infant for 100,000 years.”
“What?!” Wu Yong immediately revealed a terrified expression when he heard this. However, before he could beg for mercy, he felt that the power in his body had been completely restrained.
At the same time, he also felt the power of his body begin to quickly regress. His Qi and blood became extremely weak at an extremely fast speed. Even the special power he had obtained after stepping into the Heaven Gate was actually stripped away one by one.
In just a moment, the expert in the Second Heaven Gate realm had all his strength stripped away. His physical state had also directly returned to the state of an infant, turning into an infant who looked to be only a few months old.
Throughout the entire process, Cui Heng did not even move a finger. He only said a word, and Wu Yong had become like this, as if he had suffered the wrath of the heavens.
This was the difference in realm.
After Cui Heng broke through to the Early-stage Soul Formation realm, the improvement he obtained was too great. To him, all existences that had yet to reach the Soul Formation realm were extremely weak.
With just a thought, he could change the form of a life at will.
That was what happened to Wu Yong.
“Ah, wah, wah, wah!” Wu Yong screamed in fear.
At this moment, he was floating in the air and waving his hands and feet. He felt his infant-like weak body and was completely in despair.
Now, he no longer had any supernatural power and was only an ordinary human baby.
The reason why he was still floating in the air was only because Cui Heng had used his strength to hold him up.
“You will maintain this state for 100,000 years.” Cui Heng looked at Wu Yong and said indifferently, “In these 100,000 years, you will not grow up and will always maintain the state of an infant.
“Of course, you won’t die or age. After 100,000 years, you can return to your former state and become an expert at the Second Heaven Gate realm.”
100,000 years of longevity was something that countless people dreamed of. However, maintaining the state of an infant for 100,000 years was undoubtedly a punishment.
It was worse than death!
At this moment, Wu Yong finally accepted his fate. He barely adjusted his young throat and knelt in front of Cui Heng. He said respectfully, “Thank you for your mercy, Exalted Immortal.”
Now, he had thought it through. This might really be the best outcome he could fight for.
It was most likely because he had not caused any substantial damage to the baby and was so cooperative in answering the questions. Otherwise, he would have died long ago.
It was better to recover after 100,000 years than to die directly.
What was there to be dissatisfied about?
Wu Yong repeatedly persuaded himself in his heart. Gradually, he even believed it himself.
“Alright.” Cui Heng nodded slightly and was about to wave Wu Yong away when he suddenly felt something and turned to look into the distance.
“Master, it seems that someone has broken through the world!” Li Mingqiong also noticed the abnormality in the distance. She pointed to the eastern sky and said, “A spatial passageway has been established. I see the shadows of pavilions.”
“There’s also the west.” Huo Liu also realized that something was wrong in the distance. He rolled his eyes and said, “It’s Buddhist light. The experts or worlds related to Buddhism should have appeared in the west.”
“Oh?” Cui Heng exclaimed softly. He swept his gaze in two directions and nodded slightly with a smile. “It should be the Dao Techniques Immortal Realm and the Buddhist Pure Land. They most likely sensed the changes here.”
As soon as he finished speakingLight pillars tore through the void on both sides, forming a door of light and emitting different sounds.
There was immortal music coming from the door of light in the east.
There was only Buddhist chanting in the western door of light.
After these two light doors were established, figures walked out one after another.
The difference between the two was very obvious.
On one side were Daoists and on the other were monks.
The Daoists from the east were the first to rush over. Leading them was an old man with white hair and a youthful face. He led more than ten young Daoists and arrived in front of Cui Heng.
“Junior Fang He greets Immortal Venerable.” After the white-haired old man in Daoist clothes arrived in front of Cui Heng, he immediately knelt in front of him with an incomparably respectful attitude.
At the same time, the dozen or so young Daoists he had brought over also knelt down respectfully to Cui Heng.
However, before the dozen or so young Daoists could speak, the Buddhist light in the west had completely descended.
Immediately after, they heard a Buddhist proclamation
“Amitabha!” This Buddhist proclamation filled with compassion crossed the distant void. An old monk in yellow monk robes stood at the front, and behind him stood a group of monks. Their strength and cultivation levels were extraordinary.
As the Buddhist proclamation fell, the old monk in yellow led a group of monks to Cui Heng.
Just like Fang He, he knelt down without any resistance and said loudly, “Little Monk Yuan Ku greets Immortal Venerable.”
The monks behind him also knelt down.
This scene amazed Li Mingqiong.
She could clearly sense that these monks and Daoists were basically experts at the Eighth Realm of the Immortal World, especially the old monk and Daoist priest in the lead. They had already surpassed the Eighth Realm of the Immortal World.
These were Lords of the Heavens at the Ninth Realm of the Immortal World!
“Master’s power is really enough to suppress the heavens. He only displayed a slight bit of his power, but he already made these two Lords of the Heavens come over to pay their respects.” Li Mingqiong could not help but sigh with emotion.
After all, just a hundred years ago, the Great Zhou was still troubled by the Holy Mother of White Lotus and was very afraid of the Holy Mother of White Lotus.
But now, two Lords of the Heavens had already come over to kneel so respectfully to her master.
Such a change could be said to be earth-shattering
Cui Heng’s expression was normal. He first looked at the two of them, then at the Daoist priest behind them and chuckled. “The two of you didn’t cross the border just to bow and pay your respects, right?”
Daoist Fang He and Monk Yuan Ku were slightly stunned when they heard this, as if they did not expect Cui Heng to be so direct. For a moment, they did not know how to respond.
However, their cultivation was extraordinary after all, and they made a decision in a flash.
Fang He still maintained his kneeling posture and said extremely respectfully, “Exalted Immortal, your eyes are like torches. Nothing can be hidden from you. I indeed have something to discuss with you.”
“I also have something extremely important to do.” Yuan Ku hurriedly explained.
“Alright.” Cui Heng nodded slightly when he heard this and said indifferently, “How about this? Mingqiong, Yellow-scarved Strongman, and Huo Liu. Bring these two people, their disciples, and Wu Yong back to the Great Zhou Imperial City first. I’ll go over later.”
Li Mingqiong, the Yellow-scarved Strongman, and Huo Liu immediately bowed.
Regarding this arrangement, Daoist Fang He and Monk Yuan Ku naturally did not dare to say anything. They followed behind the three of them respectfully and flew towards the Great Zhou.
Hence, only Cui Heng was left in the sky above Tongguang County.
Then, he lowered his head and looked down, meeting a gaze from afar.
Ever since he walked out of the Grotto-Heaven, this gaze had been watching him.
Cui Heng’s figure swayed slightly and he instantly descended to the courtyard of the Ren Family in Tongguang County.
Here, someone was looking at him.
