Chapter 30

The golden-eyed giant eagle, the horse demon, and the silver wolf entered the cave of the Great King of Southern Mountain with sinister intentions.

The Great King of Southern Mountain had been severely injured in a fierce battle with the three-eyed giant python. However, Zhu Ganglie did not believe that the Great King would be an easy target for these three demons.

When the three major demons entered the cave to pay their respects, the Great King of Southern Mountain was sitting cross-legged on a stone bed, quietly meditating, his aura pitifully weak.

This scene brought a smile to the faces of the three leaders, and the impatient horse demon immediately channeled demonic energy, intending to kill the Great King of Southern Mountain.

"What brings you three in such a hurry?" the Great King of Southern Mountain asked, his face appearing even more pale and weak. At this moment, Zhu Ganglie, hidden in the Fengshen Tower, changed his expression and shouted, "Quickly retreat!"

The golden-eyed eagle, hearing the voice, hesitated for a moment, then transformed into its eagle form and flew away. At the same moment, a fierce black blade of energy slashed through the air.

The horse demon and the silver wolf trembled, their sturdy demonic bodies being directly severed.

"Haha, you three scoundrels with sinister intentions, how dare you scheme against me!" the Great King of Southern Mountain laughed, but he couldn't stop coughing. A massive black demonic aura violently contracted, enveloping and swallowing the spirits of the horse demon and the silver wolf.

"Great King of Southern Mountain, you actually used your life-bound soul to launch an attack. That's a clever plan," the golden-eyed eagle said with a sharp voice, his face showing fear and a cold smile. This made the Great King of Southern Mountain's face change drastically. He tried to gather his true energy to resist, but before he could move, a ruler struck him, shattering him.

The Fengshen Tower swiftly absorbed the Great King of Southern Mountain's soul, directly refining it into a Fengshen talisman.

"Lord, let's go to the treasure chamber of Southern Mountain. This fellow must have hidden a lot of treasures," the golden-eyed eagle said, excited by the death of the Great King of Southern Mountain and the other two leaders. Now, he was the sole ruler of Southern Mountain.

He excitedly walked deeper into the cave, searching for the treasure chamber.

Zhu Ganglie, however, was not very interested. He flicked his wrist and collected the corpses of the Great King of Southern Mountain, the horse demon, and the silver wolf. With these three corpses, he could complete the bodies needed to refine the other three Great Vajra Manifestation Demons.

After collecting the three corpses, he took large steps and entered the depths of the cave.

After passing through the winding cave passages, they arrived at a massive iron gate. The golden-eyed eagle directly smashed the gate open, revealing various items inside.

Among these items, six different weapons caught Zhu Ganglie's attention. He lightly touched them, but found no restrictions, and they were not even magical artifacts, though their materials were somewhat special.

However, they had been refined with demonic energy. To use these materials to refine magical artifacts, he would need to slowly remove the demonic energy. Since he already had many magical artifacts, he had no time to spare for this.

He ignored them and scanned the medicinal herbs in the cave. These were all aged herbs, which would be beneficial to him, especially some rare ones.

Without hesitation, he flicked his wrist, and the Yuanyang Ruler collected all the herbs.

"Golden-eyed eagle, take one of these weapons. Now you manage the demons of Southern Mountain. I will focus on my cultivation here. Do not disturb me unless it's something important," Zhu Ganglie said after collecting the herbs. He gave the other five weapons to the black bear demon, Dou Tai, the black dragon, the Great King of Southern Mountain, and the other spirits and ghosts, assigning them tasks.

He then sat cross-legged, silently cultivating his soul, with the three Great Vajra Manifestation Demons surrounding him. The three demonic souls within them conveyed waves of anger, which blended with the anger in his heart, continuously refining his mind.

Facing the great anger, Zhu Ganglie maintained his mental focus, suppressing the anger and continuously nurturing his soul.

Three days later, after enhancing his mental power, he refined the fourth Great Vajra Manifestation Demon. The anger in his heart increased, forcing him to suppress it.

Moreover, Zhu Ganglie could not move or easily think, as it would trigger the anger, leading to a significant backlash.

This meant that Zhu Ganglie could not be disturbed by anything from the outside world and had to clear his mind and gather all his energy.

While Zhu Ganglie was fully focused on refining the Great Vajra Manifestation Demons, the golden-eyed eagle organized the small demons of Southern Mountain.

On the sixth day, after stabilizing his mental power, he successfully refined the fifth Great Vajra Manifestation Demon. His mental power became even more stable and powerful, and his soul's resilience increased, showing signs of breaking through to the Manifestation Realm.

Ten days later, Zhu Ganglie stood up, and the sixth Great Vajra Manifestation Demon was refined. Instantly, a massive, tangible force of anger surged, pressing heavily on his mind like a mountain.

With the six Great Vajra Manifestation Demons, six massive demonic souls surrounded him, roaring continuously.

Under the pressure of this mountain-like anger, Zhu Ganglie had to gather his mind and use all his strength to resist this powerful force.

This cultivation lasted for an unknown period. Zhu Ganglie knew that every day, a surge of anger filled his mind, making him want to vent his anger and roar.

However, the remaining rationality told him that he must suppress this anger, calm his mind, and resist the anger until it was completely extinguished.

To resist this great anger, Zhu Ganglie also studied the Heavenly Dragon Descending Spirit Spell, which Liao Fan of the Great Buddha Temple had taught him, to calm the anger.

While Zhu Ganglie was cultivating, the golden-eyed eagle also advanced his White Bone Skill to the Manifestation Realm, refining a White Bone Relic, significantly enhancing his strength.

To help the golden-eyed eagle manage the demons of Southern Mountain, Zhu Ganglie sent the black dragon and Dou Tai with hundreds of battle spirits to assist him.

The Great King of Southern Mountain was absorbed into the Fengshen Tower, and his consciousness was erased to prevent any further issues, as this major demon was at the Possession Realm, with a soul far stronger than his current one.

Three months after the golden-eyed eagle took control of Southern Mountain, a loud rumble echoed from the depths of the cave, followed by a series of fierce roars, startling the golden-eyed eagle and the others, who were about to enter.

However, a golden light flashed, instantly filling the entire cave.

Then, everyone saw Zhu Ganglie slowly emerge from the cave, a golden halo hanging behind his head, making him appear extremely sacred.

"Nothing to worry about, you may leave," Zhu Ganglie said, opening his eyes and gently waving his sleeve to send the three out. He then sat cross-legged, sensing the first recognition of the Buddhist realm.

After months of cultivation, he finally achieved the Buddhist Eye Recognition through the Great Vajra Manifestation Demons, comprehending a minor Buddhist supernatural power.

With this Eye Recognition, he could see what others could not, perceive the 48,000 tiny creatures in water, and even see things thousands of miles away.

This made Zhu Ganglie extremely happy, as he could now detect dangers in advance and had gained a new supernatural power. Besides the Eye Recognition, he also comprehended the supernatural power of the Great Vajra Club. With a thought, the golden halo in his mind transformed into a Vajra Club, which he swung, creating a massive hole in the cave wall, causing the entire mountain to shake.

Zhu Ganglie sensed that the power of the Great Vajra Club was likely equivalent to ten thousand pounds, enough to easily crush a giant beast.

Putting away these supernatural powers, Zhu Ganglie grabbed the six Great Vajra Manifestation Demons, which transformed into six beads, which he wore on his wrist.

Achieving the first recognition of the Buddhist realm, Zhu Ganglie also gained Buddhist power. He softly recited the Heavenly Dragon Descending Spirit Spell, and after a moment, eight illusory Heavenly Dragons descended from the void, circling around him.

"This technique is known for its defense. These eight Heavenly Dragons can protect me from a full attack by a Manifestation Realm expert, and they also contain the might of Heavenly Dragons, which can震慑邪魔外道."

Zhu Ganglie secretly evaluated the power of the Heavenly Dragon Descending Spirit Spell, feeling delighted. Comprehending the Buddhist Eye Recognition greatly assisted him.

Moreover, breaking through the Manifestation Barrier and achieving the Manifestation Realm significantly enhanced his soul, allowing it to leave his body.

With a thought, a ball of spiritual energy on the ground swirled, enveloping countless fragments of soil, forming the shape of a Great Vajra Manifestation Demon, which moved like a real person.

"Now I can absorb the power of the five metals and cultivate the second level of the Gourd Sword Technique. As long as I refine my spiritual energy into magical power and combine it with these supernatural powers and magical artifacts, I will have a better chance of advancing to the Divine Dawn Dao."

Zhu Ganglie thought, directly absorbing a piece of gold and iron from the cave, starting to absorb the power of the five metals and converting this spiritual energy into magical power.
