Chapter 2686 - 33: Shangyuan Mingzhu (Part 3)

Immersed in his fantasy, Chai Asi laughed so much his mouth opened wide.

In the mirror, a certain ancient god quietly dispelled the slight influence of the Six Desires Bodhisattva...

Chai Asi suddenly returned to reality.

He awakened, blinked his eyes, and asked, "Right, how does your current power compare to Lord True Demon Spider String?"

This little monster has an excellent memory and a heavy curiosity!

Yet the ancient god possesses supreme demeanor, the voice in the mirror was enigmatic: "Below True Demon, I am invincible; above True Demon, best not to connect."

The words were simple and clear.

Chai Asi nodded, "Understood!"

Of course, he wasn’t disappointed, after all, this was merely one ten-thousandth of the ancient god’s power. After all, not long ago, Chai Asi’s goal was merely to join the regular army and become a Monster Soldier.

The voice in the mirror spoke again: "But you should not rely on me to stir up trouble. Each bit of my power is precious, all reserved for soon returning to pinnacle and leading the demon clan to greatness again.

Each piece of power should not be consumed without value.

A few days ago, it was due to that arrogant Quan Xizai’s ignorance, who provoked the Old Mountain Evil Spirit, which led to that great catastrophe. I personally intervened, expending great strength, yet couldn’t save the mirror holder’s life; thus, it was your turn to seize the opportunity.

And because of sealing the Old Mountain Evil Spirit, I needed to sleep for several days, delaying the return to pinnacle yet again...

It’s best you remember past events, don’t repeat the same mistakes, letting me down."

The ancient god in the mirror "slep" for three whole days before speaking. One reason was sheer exhaustion, needing rest. Another was to master the demon language more proficiently, repetitively comprehending and learning in the mirror. The third was to observe Chai Asi, discern his personality, and supplement understanding of him.

Zhuang Chenggan deceives gods, cheats ghosts, and is most skilled at fooling people. Zhang Linchuan preaches to the world, also adept at manipulating hearts. The Old Dragon of the Forest Sea has been making moves in the forest sea source realm for years, later locked in Yuheng Star Tower, and every time contact is made, starts coaxing him to release...

The ancient god didn’t need to painstakingly deliberate, and by casually picking a phrase or two from these "life mentors," he could easily sway this little dog demon. Combined with Astray Path, completely grasps him.

However, now it’s time to sound the alarm.

One must always know one’s affairs. In his current state, facing Demon King Quan Shouzeng, he might not truly come out on top; after all, the opponent is a genuine demon king, and he is far from pinnacle.

If this Chai Asi really believed in the ancient god’s grandeur and became inflated, stirring up trouble, it would be a huge issue.

In the process of sounding the alarm, he also incidentally cleared Chai Asi’s suspicions regarding Quan Xizai.

After observing for several days, he somewhat understands Chai Asi, knowing that this little monster actually has some cleverness and his own survival philosophy.

This little monster brought up Demon King Quan Shouzeng deliberately, as a test of sorts. He didn’t dare directly ask, only subtly inquired.

As the ancient god in the mirror, of course, he must help this little monster ease his doubts, telling him not to overthink, to focus and progress.

After all, if the laborer doesn’t work hard, how can the landlord build a new house?

If the little monster doesn’t strive, how can I quickly return to the pinnacle?

"Rest assured!" Chai Asi promised while patting his chest, "The little monster has no other strengths; it never causes trouble, enduring any grievance and suffering any hatred!"

The ancient god in the mirror understood the demon’s intent: "When I return to pinnacle, all grievances you bear can be avenged, no need to endure further. For now, we must all stay hidden. As the saying goes, ’Through a hundred trials of life and death, never looking back, the transcendent world has an absolute summit’!"

Chai Asi was moved to respect.

What profound wisdom uttered with such casual elegance!

Even Chai Asi, who has read books, finds endless delight and reflection!

"What can the little demon do to aid your return to peak?" he asked sincerely.

The magnificent voice in the mirror replied, "Practice swords well, once mastered, I will direct you further. Every action you take will be recorded on the path to my return to pinnacle. My glory shared with you!"

What a great ancient god!

Only giving, not demanding. Let me cultivate first!

Chai Asi felt increasingly that he made the best decision of his life, grabbing a broken iron bar, enthusiastically heading to the courtyard to practice swords.

"Oh, by the way," the voice casually added, "I heard that there is a battle over on the South Celestial City side. When you go to the tavern these days, ask about the details of the South Heaven battlefield. I need various battlefield specifics to judge the human race’s overall power. Also, check if the little spider has changed over the years, whether friend or foe."

Little spider!

How did he address the celestial spider goddess as little spider!

Passionate blood rushing straight into the brain. Chai Asi felt a bit light-footed, as if about to take flight.

That terrifying existence as radiant as the sun, yet in the eyes of the ancient god, mere little demon...

What reason does Chai Asi have not to dream big?

His small goal indeed needs to be elevated to a higher level...

Touch Cloud’s three leaders, merely so. All major sect kings, tombed dry bones!

Zhu Lanruo is a flower in the palm, the vast Shangyuan, merely my bathtub.

Chai Asi brandished the broken iron bar, amidst dazzling sword moves, already seeing the brilliant demon life—

Someday, I shall also gaze from the high heavens, overlooking that peerless warrior sweeping across the land, warmly calling out... little monkey.
