Chapter 146: The Remains of the Great Sage
The Great Sage Ox Demon?
Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng was slightly stunned. He had already learned from Mo Chengkong that in the demon race, only those above the Golden Immortal realm could be called "Great Sages."
And those above the Golden Immortal realm were also powerful figures in the Immortal World.
Even in the Blood Demon Sect where Mo Chengkong belonged, there were only about a dozen Golden Immortals, and no more than three cultivators above the Golden Immortal realm.
They were the sect's ultimate foundation.
He had thought that the ox demon remains on Golden Lion Mountain were only at the Golden Immortal level. He hadn't expected them to be the remains of a Great Sage of the demon race.
"I am willing to join Golden Lion Mountain."
Li Changsheng spoke directly.
Without any hesitation, he now had a considerable amount of immortal jade. This was the perfect opportunity to use the chance to observe the remains of the Great Sage Ox Demon to advance his Great Strength Ox Demon Art.
"Good, good, good!"
The Second Elder's eyes showed delight as he said:
"In that case, you can stay on Golden Lion Mountain for now. As for observing the remains of the Great Sage Ox Demon, it will take a few more days."
"Young man, you're quite impressive." The Third Elder also looked at Li Changsheng with a friendly expression. "If you have any questions about cultivation in the future, feel free to ask me."
"Thank you, Elder."
Li Changsheng quickly bowed.
Both the Second Elder and the Third Elder were True Immortals. He hadn't expected them to be so amiable.
He would also learn from these two elders and strive to be a good demon!
After staying in the courtyard for a while, Li Changsheng was led by Lu Jiu to his cave dwelling.
"Lu Jiu, are the two elders always this friendly to everyone?"
After descending the mountain, Li Changsheng asked softly.
"Friendly?"
Lu Jiu gave Li Changsheng a deep look and smiled:
"Great One, my grandfather is indeed quite friendly and treats the younger generation of the demon race well."
"But the Third Elder? Seventy thousand years ago, he fought with the Grand Elder of Moyan Mountain, and the battle ended in a draw. In a fit of anger, the Third Elder transformed into his true form and devoured tens of thousands of disciples and elders from a Moyan Mountain branch. Would you call that friendly...?"
"Then why...?" Li Changsheng was somewhat surprised.
When the Third Elder spoke to him earlier, his voice was soft, and he seemed like a kind old man. Who would have thought he could be so ferocious!
Lu Jiu glanced around and whispered:
"The Third Elder's son, Jin Zhen, was once a genius of our Golden Lion Mountain. Unfortunately, forty thousand years ago, he was ambushed by Moyan Mountain and even refined into a pill. That's why the Third Elder harbors such deep hatred for Moyan Mountain."
"The Third Elder took a liking to you probably because you just killed two Celestial Immortals from Moyan Mountain. Normally, the Third Elder is either playing chess with my grandfather or on his way to cause trouble for Moyan Mountain."
"The number of Moyan Mountain cultivators who have died at the hands of the Third Elder is countless."
"If Moyan Mountain had a most-wanted list, the Third Elder would undoubtedly be at the top."
Along the way, Li Changsheng and Lu Jiu chatted happily, and from Lu Jiu, Li Changsheng learned the general situation of Golden Lion Mountain.
With the two ancestors of Golden Lion Mountain in long-term seclusion, the mountain was usually managed by the three elders.
However, the Grand Elder was currently attempting to break through to the Mystic Immortal realm and had been in seclusion for a thousand years.
Most affairs were handled by the Second Elder, while the Third Elder was usually busy causing trouble for Moyan Mountain and rarely involved himself in the affairs of Golden Lion Mountain.
...
Arriving at the cave dwelling prepared for him on Golden Lion Mountain,
Li Changsheng stayed inside for three days without venturing out. It wasn't until the fourth day that a small demon came to his cave and led him to a massive cave on Golden Lion Mountain.
The small demon only brought him to the entrance of the cave before leaving.
As he entered the cave, he saw the Third Elder standing at the entrance.
The Third Elder, upon seeing Li Changsheng, showed a kind smile and said:
"Young man, pay attention to your comprehension later. If it weren't for your arrival, the opening of the remains would have been delayed for quite some time. You practice the Great Strength Ox Demon Art. If you comprehend enough, it will greatly benefit you in the future."
Inside the cave, there were already over a dozen young demons, the weakest of whom were at the Human Immortal realm. Among them, three were at the Earth Immortal realm, like him.
One of them was a woman with a pair of small, jade-green deer horns on her head. She had a pure and charming appearance, giving off the vibe of the girl next door.
Another Earth Immortal cultivator had a pair of dragon horns on his head, exuding a faint dragon aura. He likely had dragon bloodline or was a member of the dragon race.
The last one wore a white robe. When Li Changsheng looked at him, he nodded at Li Changsheng in a friendly manner.
The others also curiously observed Li Changsheng. They had heard of the Great Strength Ox Demon King's reputation and had learned a few days ago that he had joined Golden Lion Mountain. However, this was their first time seeing him in person.
He didn't seem as ferocious as the legends suggested. In fact, he appeared quite amiable!
"Big brother, is this really the Great Strength Ox Demon King?"
"He doesn't look like it!"
A monkey demon who had just stepped into the Human Immortal realm scratched his head and asked a slightly more mature-looking golden-haired ape beside him.
The golden ape scratched his head and said:
"After we finish observing the remains, why not challenge him to a fight and find out?"
"Enough!"
The Third Elder let out a loud shout and said indifferently:
"Among you are members of Golden Lion Mountain and other talented demons from the demon race. These remains belong to the Great Sage Ox Demon. Focus on comprehending what's within. If you can't hold on, just leave the cave. Nothing will happen to you!"
With a flick of his sleeve, the Third Elder sent a shining golden bone flying out of his robe, landing in the center of the cave.
As soon as the remains appeared, a faint golden light filled the entire cave.
Before Li Changsheng could do anything, the Great Strength Ox Demon Art began to operate on its own, as if resonating with the golden remains.
The golden remains trembled slightly!
More golden light burst forth, and an intangible aura of the Dao emanated from the remains.
The others, seeing this, couldn't help but feel envious of Li Changsheng. However, the cave was now filled with the aura of the Dao, making it the perfect time for them to comprehend the Dao.
"This young man truly has great fortune."
Even the Third Elder, standing at the entrance, nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction on his face.
Only Li Changsheng forcibly pulled himself out of the state of Dao comprehension and silently thought:
"Begin the simulation!"
