Chapter 395 Skull Island
Due to the lack of a suitable flying device, Liu Xing and King Kong spent a whole year to go through all the hardships and return to Skull Island, where the monkey tribe lived.
"I wonder if Jiao Jiao has broken through to level eight now?" Liu Xing couldn't help but miss his beloved pet dragon again while traveling with difficulty. With it, he could go twice as fast.
"Marshal, this is where my tribe lives and survives. The monsters are brutal and the living conditions are not as comfortable as in human cities. Please bear with us, Marshal." When King Kong arrived at his own territory, he was obviously excited and more confident.
"It doesn't matter. We cultivators live in the open air and don't care about these material possessions anymore." Liu Xing shook his head indifferently.
"This island is called Skull Island. It is hundreds of thousands of miles in radius and is ruled by our King Kong Ape Kingdom. Our ape clan has lived here for nearly ten thousand years." King Kong continued to introduce.
"Yes, it has a vast territory and a long heritage. It is not inferior to the big sects in the Central Continent." Liu Xing nodded in reply.
"Ten thousand miles ahead is the center of the King Kong Ape Kingdom. There are many pavilions and buildings built there for us transformed demon kings to practice and receive distinguished guests." After King Kong finished speaking, he was about to roar and call on the monkeys to come and welcome him.
"Slow down!" Liu Xing stopped him immediately, and King Kong looked puzzled.
"King Kong, I shouldn't reveal myself now, lest the news leaks out due to gossips and become coveted by the God of Transformation." Liu Xing explained.
"Now, the only one you and I fear is the God of Transformation."
"So, next, before we can confirm whether the Divine Transformation has ascended, we must act with extreme caution. You will be in the open, and I will be in the dark, quietly growing stronger."
"Marshal, you have a far-sighted vision. I admire you." King Kong quickly understood Liu Xing's strategy of keeping a low profile.
"Okay, stop flattering me. To put it bluntly, you are afraid of death. We all have to keep going alive!" Liu Xing immediately interrupted King Kong's flattery.
"Haha~" King Kong, the idiot, couldn't help but laugh, thinking that the marshal was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, which was really insidious.
"Now that I'm in your territory, there's no need to rush back to the city. First, take me on a tour, let me appreciate the beauty of your country, and let me see how you govern."
"Of course!" King Kong gladly accepted. He introduced the company as he flew along, his saliva flying, and one could clearly feel King Kong's inner pride.
Liu Xing simply listened with a smile, occasionally offering praise, without overly criticizing him. However, he was silently taking note of the topography, the medicinal herbs and minerals, the surrounding hostile forces, and so on. He was pleasantly surprised by many things. This place felt like a primeval forest, with natural resources not over-exploited, and many of them could be used for his future development.
"Is this your capital?" Liu Xing was quite surprised when he saw the ancient, simple yet magnificent city in front of him.
Many buildings towered thousands of feet high, constructed from massive rocks. Countless monkeys, hundreds of feet tall, bustled in and out. Some dragged boulders, others carried enormous logs, while others, bound by massive iron chains, performed hard labor. These chained monkeys, their bodies covered in wounds and blood, seemed to be undergoing punishment. The massive chains rattled along the ground, leaving behind giant bloody footprints.
These apes were enormous, charging recklessly as they went. It was common for those with weaker cultivation to be knocked flying. The city was in chaos, with no order at all, yet it was bustling with activity, as the apes worked furiously. The constant calls of the apes and the clashing of things made Liu Xing frown.
King Kong was very proud. These were all his people, and the scene was full of vitality. It seemed that the tribe had not been lazy during the decades when he was away, and had built many new buildings.
"Marshal, this is my capital. It is more magnificent than human cities, right?" King Kong said proudly.
"Hmph, how can a human body be so big? This is the first time I've seen such rough urban buildings." Liu Xing snorted coldly.
"Hehe." King Kong just smiled foolishly and didn't care about Liu Xing's sarcastic remarks.
The two of them were stealthy and stealthy, and with their level of cultivation, naturally no one could detect their whereabouts. The entire city lacked even a single defensive barrier, yet they swaggered to the tallest building in the city center.
Liu Xing felt like an ant standing below, staring at the massive building, a full five thousand feet tall. This monster city was truly extraordinary. To build such a tall building, wouldn't it have taken several mountains to hollow it out? Liu Xing marveled.
King Kong took Liu Xing straight to the top floor. Although it was the smallest room here, it was still very spacious. Liu Xing slowly felt it and found that the spiritual energy was indeed the most abundant. He was very satisfied.
"Marshal, you can rest and practice here. No one dares to disturb you without my order." King Kong said respectfully.
"This place is great. I didn't expect you to set up a restriction. That's thoughtful of you. But this restriction is too crude. I need to improve it. Let me see any formation materials you have." Liu Xing looked around and curled his lips at the unusually crude restriction. The defense was so weak that it could be broken by almost a Jindan stage cultivator. It probably only served to block wind and rain and block sound and sight.
"I know nothing about this restriction, so naturally I am not worthy of the Marshal's attention. I am sorry to have embarrassed you." King Kong felt a little embarrassed and handed his storage bag directly to Liu Xing.
"Marshal, you can choose for yourself. I have quite a few materials, but I don't know if they are suitable."
"Wow, there are quite a few good things!" Liu Xing didn't hesitate to take it and opened the storage bag to examine it. With these materials, it would be more than enough to set up several defensive formations to resist the attacks of the Nascent Soul Stage.
"This amount of thousand-year-old paulownia wood and golden obsidian is not enough. It will be enough if you get one more." Liu Xing thought about it and arranged for King Kong to go to the treasury to get materials. He wanted to set up a spirit gathering array for himself.
He had made up his mind. King Kong would lead the charge, while he would remain in seclusion behind the scenes to command. The most important thing was to seize the opportunity to improve his cultivation, so that he could create more seals and strengthen his team. Although the spiritual energy here was abundant, it would be even better if the spiritual power could be increased four or five times with the help of the Spirit Gathering Array.
Wutong wood and golden obsidian were not particularly valuable, so King Kong quickly retrieved the precious materials from the treasury. Liu Xing refined his equipment on the spot. Now that he had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, he could use the Infant Fire to refine pills or equipment, which was much more efficient.
"The Marshal is truly amazing! His fighting power is so strong that he can challenge two small realms. Now looking at his weapon refining skills, he might be a weapon refining master!" King Kong was deeply shocked. Although he could not see the secrets of weapon refining, the vision of a level ten monster was still strong and he could distinguish the strong from the weak.
