"Good!"

True Monarch Withered Wood stood with his hands behind his back, as a mass of mist gathered above his head, transforming into two blue and yellow auspicious clouds.

The blue one was lush and vibrant, like the fresh buds sprouting on spring branches, the grass leaves germinating under the soil, brimming with a lively and vigorous aura.

The yellow one was withered, gray and brown, akin to dried old trees and scorched grass stalks, exuding an aura of decay, rot, and dead silence.

The two auspicious clouds had entirely opposite auras, one withering, one flourishing, yet there was a faint mystical connection between them.

A mysterious aura circulated between them, flowing continuously.

Then, the blue cloud and the yellow cloud overflowed, merging together into a blue-yellow intertwined thunder light, carrying a terrifying power capable of annihilating everything, as it struck the iron rod!

Boom!!!

The entire suspended Dragon Boat shook violently, countless pavilions and towers shattered, mountain peaks collapsed, swept away by the shock waves, scattering towards the sky.

Fragmented thunder light and Gang Feng ravaged, obliterating everything both tangible and intangible in its path, such as rocks, grass, trees, pavilions, buildings, and Restriction Spiritual Light, all were smashed and destroyed.

Gu Yuan's face twisted from the impact of the residual wave, his clothes were tattered, some parts even scorched and black, his flesh blurry from some injuries.

However, Gu Yuan couldn't be bothered with these trivial matters, as he now calculated and operated his True Qi, his Sword Intent erupted, turning himself into a Sword Light, flying far away to avoid collateral damage.

The sharp Sword Light cut through the Gang Feng, escaping to the distance, only then re-transforming into Gu Yuan's figure, looking back with some lingering fear.

True Monarch Withered Wood waved his sleeve, suppressing all the surrounding fluctuations, his gaze fixed on the Monkey King in mid-air not far away, his voice slightly hoarse:

"I have taken this blow, does our friend have anything more to say?"

And at this moment, all the destroyed pavilions and towers, even the mountains, began to gradually restore to their previous forms.

The suspended Dragon Boat itself was an Upper Grade Magical Treasure, everything upon it had been imbued with Restrictions, and even if shattered, it could recover unless all Restrictions were annihilated.

Even if some of the Restrictions were obliterated, as long as not many, it still could self-absorb Spiritual Qi and return to its original form.

Gu Yuan sighed inwardly, these dead objects could certainly recover, but those warriors and maids killed by the residual wave couldn't come back to life.

It could only be said that the depths of Yunmeng Mountain Range were truly too dangerous, with such Yin Spirit Level Demon Kings present, and the group had the misfortune of encountering one.

Moreover, the might of these Yin Spirit Level giants was terrifying; even the residual waves from the Magical Battle were something he couldn't withstand at present.

It was likely thanks to True Monarch Withered Wood's deliberate control, combined with the fact that the two had exchanged only one blow, otherwise many accompanying disciples might have died or been injured!

"Humans, I am Jin Hou!"

The Golden Monkey King grinned fiercely: "You managed to take a blow from me, indeed you have some skill, you at least deserve to know my name."

"I keep my promises, you took a blow from me, you may pass through here."

True Monarch Withered Wood nodded: "In that case, thank you, friend Jin..."

"No rush, I noticed your Divine Thunder was unfamiliar earlier, with the intertwining of the Life and Death Thunder aura, it seems to contain the principle of thunder's creation and destruction. Could it be a Divine Thunder technique you've created?"

The Monkey King Jin Hou's expression shifted slightly, asking with curiosity.

"Friend Jin has keen insight, this Life and Death Divine Thunder is indeed a Divine Thunder Skill I created, though to speak of it frankly, it's merely incorporating the principle of life and death into it, hardly worth mentioning."

True Monarch Withered Wood's face was like ironwood, rigid and expressionless, only his eyes were bright and clear, radiating a vibrant life force.

"Hum...you humans are truly hypocritical!"

Jin Hou sneered coldly, yet he regarded True Monarch Withered Wood with a bit more respect:

"Your Divine Thunder Skill fuses two entirely opposing Divine Thunders, undoubtedly making it a Top-Grade Divine Technique. This must be your innate Divine Technique, but surely it isn't your only technique. And it should contain numerous variations."

"Moreover, this technique even possesses a trace of Great Divine Technique's might. One day, if you can elevate it into the Prototype of Great Divine Techniques, it will mark your ascension to Dragon Gate Yang Spirit!"

"Creating Great Divine Techniques, my friend has quite some ambition, in this aspect even I admire you."

Though meeting True Monarch Withered Wood only once, Jin Hou seemed to have seen through the path and level True Monarch Withered Wood was on.

Gu Yuan also felt astonished upon hearing this.

Great Divine Techniques were exclusive to Primordial Spirit True Immortals!

Why forming a Top-grade Golden Core granted a chance for immortality was precisely because once the Pill is formed at Upper Grade, it may give a slim chance to develop Great Divine Techniques.

Especially a First-grade Golden Core, it can directly cultivate into the Prototype of Great Divine Techniques, so it is called a Primordial Spirit Seed!

True Monarch Withered Wood's expression remained unchanged, difficult to discern any change, merely saying:

"My enlightenment is lacking, so I can only proceed slowly step by step with the clumsy method, who knows how far I can go..."

"Enough, I have no time to listen to your nonsense."

Jin Hou waved his hand impolitely, then his eyes glittered as he said: "You all carry the scent of medicine, you should be disciples of Medicine King Mountain, are you by chance heading to Red Dragon Immortal Palace this time?"

Seeing this demon monkey offend the ancestor, many disciples of Medicine King Mountain showed anger, but due to its cultivation and power, none dared to speak out.

True Monarch Withered Wood showed no trace of anger, calmly saying: "Indeed, friend Jin, do you have any objections?"

"Oh?"

Seeing this, Jin Hou raised his eyebrows, showing some defiance: "That Red Dragon Taoist is part Demon Race too, if I object, what would you do?!"

True Monarch Withered Wood sighed: "Then I would have to invite fellow brothers from my sect, even the Ancestor, to come and discuss with friend Jin..."

Jin Hou's nature was strong and defiant, yet he wasn't foolish, or rather, anyone capable of cultivating to the Yin Spirit Realm, be they human or demon, wasn't a fool.

He understood what True Monarch Withered Wood's words meant, and upon hearing them, he was taken aback, then snorted coldly: "Hum, humans are indeed shameless, only thinking of bullying with numbers..."

"Unlike friend Jin's bluntness."

True Monarch Withered Wood ignored Jin Hou's bristling expression, casually replying.

Jin Hou's gaze was cold, staring at True Monarch Withered Wood, he spoke after a moment: "Enough of the nonsense, I only ask you this—can you give me ten slots for the Red Dragon Order, I can offer some items in exchange, ensuring you won't suffer losses."

"Hehe..."

Sensing Jin Hou's intent for the Red Dragon Order, True Monarch Withered Wood chuckled, shaking his head:

"Friend, don't delude yourself. No matter what reason you offer, I won't agree. This time, the quota for Medicine King Mountain was decided in discussions by the Sect Leader and Elders, I don't have the authority to change it."
