Chapter 1180: Unknown to the World
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
An eighth-level spirit beast could certainly pose a challenge to a supreme pinnacle.
This was widely acknowledged, and Myo Hatendi’s encounter with the eight-level sparrow confirmed this understanding.
As Myo approached the outer limits of the territory, the sparrow’s persistent chirping made him cautious.
Halting his advance, he gazed at the distant waterfall.
On the mountain’s summit, the white ape absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, cultivating with a keen awareness of Myo’s presence.
The white ape turned its head, fixing a deep and chilling gaze on Myo.
Standing at seven feet tall, the ape exuded a sovereign aura, making Myo shudder.
A ninth-level spirit beast like the white ape was an enigmatic and formidable existence, comparable to a martial artist at the supreme pinnacle realm.
Despite both reaching the supreme pinnacle realm and having opened the spiritual aperture, their mental power was divided into nine realms, each a significant gap.
The white ape, undoubtedly, stood at the peak among ninth-level spirit beasts, surpa.s.sing Myo in every aspect.
Acknowledging the potential danger, Myo abandoned his pursuit and shifted direction, continuing the search for Braydon Neal and Luke Yates.
Meanwhile, Braydon and Luke, keeping their auras restrained, ventured deep into the monkey territory, covering an area within a hundred miles.
No other spirit beasts dared venture into the monkey’s territory.
Twenty miles from the waterfall, Braydon stood under a tree, antic.i.p.ating Myo’s departure and planning to leave with the little fool.
At that moment, a cold and dignified voice resonated in Braydon’s mind, surprising him.
“Human! That person was chasing after you two, right?”
Braydon was taken aback. He didn’t expect that they would be discovered.
Looking toward the mountain peak twenty miles away, Braydon saw the white ape with its hands behind its back, coldly staring at them.
With those cold and heartless eyes, Braydon realized that the message had been transmitted via mental power.
The man in green within Braydon’s spiritual aperture remained silent.
The man in green refrained from meddling with Braydon’s cultivation.
The moment the green-clothed man manifested, acting as the Great Divine Priest within the ruins, even if an emperor were to descend, they would still be compelled to kneel in his presence.
“Please forgive me, Senior,” Braydon uttered softly.
In the wild, humility was necessary when encountering high-level spirit beasts, and even someone as proud as Braydon had to yield.
Otherwise, they would be in great danger.
Being insensible would only lead to death.
“You two, come up!” the white ape commanded.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Following that, a scarlet spirit monkey and a brown spirit monkey descended into the area simultaneously.
Two ninth-level spirit monkeys arrived.
Braydon and the little fool seemed to have no other choice.
“Brother,” Luke asked in a low voice,” does he want us to go over? Will he provide us with food?”
“You’re about to lose your life, yet you still want to eat!”
Braydon glared at the little fool and headed to the peak together.
A distance of twenty miles was not considered far.
The white ape stood with its hands behind its back on the boulder on the mountain peak.
After Braydon arrived, a monkey brought over spirit fruits as a form of hospitality.
Apes and monkeys were both primates with high intelligence, and it was easy for them to give birth to powerful spirit beasts.
Once one was proficient in the path of cultivation, their cultivation speed would not be slower than humans.
“I haven’t had any guests in a long time,” the white ape said softly.
“Are you going to kill us?”
“Are you planning to kill us?” The little fool sat on the stone table and ate a banana. “If you want to kill us, let me eat first.”
“Interesting!”
The white ape turned around and said faintly, “A person’s life is incomparable to the short life of plants. Plants have to go through wind and rain in their life; it’s not easy. A person has to go through hardships in their life. Sorrow and joy are part and parcel of life. It’s not easy either. How can I bear to hurt you?”
His soft words revealed a high level of wisdom and philosophy.
This white ape seemed more like a scholar!
His understanding of life appeared to surpa.s.s that of many humans.
Little did they know that such a being was truly terrifying!
Grasping the many principles of life was akin to navigating the mortal world and experiencing numerous hardships.
After undergoing such experiences, one would transcend!
The day he transcended would probably be the day the white ape became an emperor.
Braydon’s eyes were filled with fear.
Beast emperors were perceived as terrifying!
One had to know that human emperors treated low-level spirit beasts like cattle, showing no guilt if they killed them casually.
Simultaneously, in the eyes of the beast emperors, humans were also mere food.
Being from different races, there was no guilt in killing each other.
“Senior, you didn’t ask us to come here for a simple chat, did you?” Braydon asked softly.
“Don’t worry, I’m not interested in the rare treasure you have.”
The white ape did not seem interested in the precious tree.
He aimed to break through and free himself from the shackles.
The only obstacle was the realm!
He could break through by comprehending the imperial path.
If he couldn’t comprehend it, he would be trapped as a ninth-level spirit beast for the rest of his life.
“I need your help with something,” the white ape said softly.
“You’re so strong, yet you still need our help?”
The little fool, with a banana in his mouth, didn’t quite understand.
“Senior, if you don’t even like rare treasures, it means that you’ve reached the limit of your power acc.u.mulation,” Braydon said softly. “Your mental power and vitality have reached perfection. You’re only one step away from the emperor realm!”
“You are very smart.”
The white ape admitted.
What he lacked was cultivation.
How could one comprehend something in the Imperial path?
How should he walk on his imperial path?
He could only rely on himself!
However, what Braydon did not know was that the white ape had been stuck in this realm for 300 years!
“You’re a martial artist from the outside world,” the white ape said softly. “I’ve already sensed it when you stepped into this area.”
Braydon wasn’t surprised at all. He knew that it was easy for the white ape to detect him.
“Actually,” the white ape continued, “the 14th ruin was opened by the martial artists from the outside world thousands of years ago. The martial artists from the outside world have been living here. The entrance to the ruins has been closed several times, but the descendants of your ancestors have never left.
“When I was weak and ignorant, I was with one of your martial artists for hundreds of years.”
The white ape told him about his relationship with the martial artist.
He was raised by human martial artists!
Therefore, when he saw Braydon and the little fool enter his territory to avoid the pursuit of their enemies, he chose to help.
“Senior, where did these descendants come from?” Braydon was shocked.
“Ancient Hansworth!”
The white ape said softly.
Braydon fell silent!
The descendants left behind by the ancestors of Hansworth were indeed of the same origin as Braydon. They were of the same bloodline.
The descendants of these ancestors had always lived in the ruins.
The 14th ruin was proof.
That ancient city must have been built by the ancestors.
For thousands of years, the history that had appeared in the ruins, as well as the special martial arts civilization, were basically unknown to the martial artists outside.
This was an ancient martial arts civilization that was not recorded in history.
No one knew about it.
“If it weren’t for the help of these descendants,” the white ape continued, “you wouldn’t have been able to gain a foothold in the 14th ruin when you reopened it more than ten years ago. You wouldn’t have been able to rebuild the ancient city.”
