The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1214: Chapter 1215: White Monkey

Three days have passed since the training on Bodhi Island.

The three Vermilion Blood Fruits obtained by Ye Mo were given to Xiao Yue, Bai Xueqin, and Yang Suxin respectively. However, the three did not immediately consume them but kept them aside. These rare fruits can only exert their maximum effect when one encounters a breakthrough bottleneck.

As Ye Mo and the five others traveled together, they noticed something peculiar: the tokens on them showed no response, meaning there was no key nearby.

These tokens are meant to sense the keys, yet they’ve been wandering around Bodhi Island for three days—they haven’t covered the entire island, but haven’t sensed a single key. This indeed seems strange.

Moreover, both forces encountered their respective disciples along the way and inquired from each other, but none had found the whereabouts of the keys.

"Where could these keys be?"

Ye Mo wondered aloud.

"In theory, when Bodhi Island opens, the Martial Artists’ primary act should be frantically searching for keys. But when we’ve asked many disciples, they all seem somewhat listless, clearly not discovering the keys’ location. This could mean that no one has found any keys."

Feng Chu began to analyze the situation.

If just the five of them hadn’t found a key, it would still be understandable. But if nobody has, that suggests the keys may be hidden in an exceptionally secret spot. Simply searching like this may prove futile.

"Feng Chu, where could the keys be hidden?"

Bai Xueqin asked curiously.

"If it were up to me, and if I didn’t scatter the ten keys randomly across the island’s locations, then there’s only one possibility."

Feng Chu paused and continued, "That the ten keys might all be placed in the same location, and only by entering that place might the token respond."

As the five speculated, on the other side of the island stood a massive waterfall. This waterfall stretched over a hundred feet, and the ferocity of the water cascading down was terrifyingly powerful. The waterfall seemed to contain some peculiar substance, cutting through space as it flowed down.

Below this waterfall sat a giant white monkey, towering five feet high, even taller than the Transcendence Golden Body, sitting cross-legged as if bathing, but actually cultivating. Amidst the terrifying impact, the splashing water pierced the surrounding mountain, forming numerous water holes.

At this moment, many disciples were gathered here, all in the Wheel of Reincarnation Eight or Nine Transformations realm.

Because their tokens had received a faint response, they speculated that the key to open Bodhi Cave might be within the waterfall.

"Tian Xiongxiong, according to this token’s response, the key is very likely within this waterfall."

One of the disciples, standing about 100 meters from the waterfall beside a man, gazed at the white monkey beneath the waterfall with a grave expression.

Many were gathered here but hesitated to advance due to the enormous white monkey. The monkey seemed unaware of them, still poised beneath the waterfall.

"Our Heavenly Clan searched for three days without finding anything; perhaps Ancestor Bodhi placed all ten keys within this waterfall. We shouldn’t act rashly; that white monkey is not easy to provoke."

Tian Xiongxiong stated calmly.

"The white monkey might seem to be cultivating here, but actually it’s guarding something. Perhaps apart from the keys, there are other treasures in the waterfall, and Ancestor Bodhi intentionally placed all ten keys together to intensify competition. Gather all the disciples immediately."

Tian Xiongxiong instructed again, and the disciple beside him nodded, quickly sent a signal, notifying all disciples to gather here.

As time passed, more people gathered here, with disciples of Heavenly Dao, Divine Beast Family, and Profound Heart Sect also arriving. However, upon seeing the massive white monkey, none dared to act rashly.

"What happened here? Why is everyone gathering here?"

At this moment, a roar sounded from afar. Jiumo Dao led more than ten people, landing on a huge rock, looking down at the crowd.

The crowd glanced at Jiumo Dao, indifferent, then returned their gaze to the enormous white monkey.

Jiumo Dao then noticed the white monkey at the distant waterfall.

"Jiumo Dao, the token reacted; could it be that the key is on that white monkey?"

A disciple from Ancient Buddha Clan exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmph, this bunch of trash surely dare not provoke the white monkey; watch how I’ll deal with it."

Jiumo Dao shouted, leaping up into the air, transforming into a blinding golden light, aiming directly to strike the white monkey with a dazzling finger. This was the Thunderlight Gold Gang Finger from the Ancient Buddha Clan. Its appearance unleashed a formidable power capable of tearing apart the space of a continent, seemingly revealing space cracks.

The white monkey noticed, opening its eyes—round and piercing, affecting people’s minds, face full of anger, unexpected at being attacked by someone, and just alone.

The white monkey swung its massive palm, suddenly opened, and from the deep pool beneath the waterfall, a Water Dragon materialized, breaking through the air, directly attacking and biting at Jiumo Dao.

"Break!"

Jiumo Dao shouted, pointing his finger out to obliterate the Water Dragon, bursting into a spray of water.

Jiumo Dao easily thwarted the white monkey’s attack, eyes full of murderous intent, even feeling smug. Defeating the white monkey in front of so many people would certainly shock everyone.

Without hesitation, Jiumo Dao’s Thunderlight Gold Gang Finger trembled, aiming to strike the white monkey directly.

The space quivered as if torn apart, countless powerful figures felt immense shock. Jiumo Dao was indeed worthy as a formidable power who had opened two Space-time Gates.

"Whoa!"

The white monkey hammered its chest with both fists; its hair stood on end, seemingly possessing an unmatchable defense. Jiumo Dao’s Thunderlight Gold Gang Finger struck its body, emitting an explosion sound, not injuring the white monkey in the slightest.

Jiumo Dao immediately retreated, frowned, and loudly declared, "If we want the key, we must kill this white monkey. Its power isn’t remarkable but its defense is strong. Those who want the key should join together to kill the white monkey, or just get lost."

The white monkey, perhaps guarding against anyone entering the waterfall, resumed its vigilant stance beside it.

"You cowardly forces have no one daring to act?"

A short-haired man coming from afar, Jiumo Dao’s junior named Fan Diwen, second only to Jiumo Dao, with the Wheel of Reincarnation Nine Transformations strength, and recently opened one Space-time Gate.
