Honghuang: Oh no, the Witch Clan Chief has lost his mind!

Chapter 256 Seeking Insights from the Ancestral Witches.

Wukong's newly acquired supernatural power, "Mind-Bound Stillness,"

Simply put, it involves separating the sword intent within the body and condensing it into an invisible barrier.

At the same time, it can eliminate anything that gets close and interferes with it!

The barrier unfolded, completely shutting out the verbal attacks from the ghost messengers, no longer interfering with his comprehension.

Being able to remain undisturbed by external influences and understand one's true nature is also the key to subsequent spiritual practice!

With Wukong's mind at ease, the rest was easy; he could just fight.

Through constant battles, he honed his combat instincts and continuously integrated the teachings he received before he was even born.

Although Apocalypse had warned him beforehand not to use the things taught by Tongtian, those things had already been ingrained in his body's instincts through prenatal education.

It gets used unconsciously while playing, and it's hard to completely get rid of it!

For example, although he wields a stick, when that stick strikes the ghost soldiers, it occasionally emits wisps of sword energy.

Anyone who didn't know better would think the stick he was using was a sword in disguise!

Of course, Tianqi didn't keep him fighting demon soldiers all the time.

After all, it gets annoying to keep grinding low-level monsters!

Once Wukong's movements became more skillful and his hands and feet were no longer clumsy,

Then it's time for the final boss of the first level of hell to make his appearance.

This is a Golden Immortal-level demon race member that Tianqi specially transferred from the first level of hell.

Although their cultivation levels weren't that different from Wukong's, this demon had lived much longer than Wukong, and their experience was far greater.

Their combat experience is also far beyond what Goku can match at present.

After all, the demon race had fought against the Celestial Court and had been defeated by the Heavenly Dao Saints; they had truly experienced great trials and tribulations!

Once Wukong can fully comprehend what's on the other side, he'll be able to proceed to the second level!

Naturally, in the face of this demon race,

Wukong finally mustered all his strength.

Seeing Apocalypse nod, confirming that this was indeed the final obstacle in his first stage, he...

He rushed forward, eager to complete his training as soon as possible.

But as soon as he made a move, Wukong was dumbfounded!

He was sent flying as soon as they started fighting!

"Um?!

This guy's aura is clearly similar to mine.

Why was I the one who got blasted away?!

"Again!"

Having said that, Wukong once again swung his staff and charged forward.

However, he was knocked away again after only two moves!

Seeing Wukong land awkwardly and look completely bewildered, Tianqi couldn't help but grin.

It seems that Wukong hasn't realized how formidable this final boss is!

This is a demon race member, specially selected by Tianqi, who is at the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm and is the most powerful. Defeating him won't be possible with just cultivation level.

The main idea is to keep the player confused in the early stages without causing much trouble, and to give them the motivation to keep moving forward in the later stages!

"Judging from this situation..."

It seems Wukong will need quite a while to clear this first level!

Thinking of this, Tianqi decided to find something to do himself, otherwise watching Wukong fight all day would be quite boring!

Then he said to Wukong:

"Wukong, you continue your cultivation, I'll be right back!"

Upon hearing this, Wukong grinned and replied while still being beaten up:

"No problem, I will work hard in my cultivation."

I'll definitely defeat him and get to the second level before you get back!

After saying that, he didn't reply and charged forward again.

Just like those ghost soldiers before them, they were completely tireless!

Tianqi looked at Wukong's confident appearance and nodded with a smile.

"As expected of Sun Wukong!"

Even without experiencing the original hardships, that indomitable spirit in their bones remains unchanged!

Before leaving, Tianqi glanced at the souls being tortured around him and shook his head.

I silently mourned for them for three seconds!

These ghosts probably never imagined that...

Their sentences during this period were directly linked to Wukong's progress in clearing the levels.

If Wukong stays on this first level for just one more day...

Their sentences have been extended by a hundred days!

Or rather, as long as Wukong is still alive, even if they are punished for a hundred days, their actual sentence will only be reduced by one day...!

......

The Underworld, the Hall of Peaceful Mind.

Tianqi entered the room, where the Twelve Ancestral Witches were still discussing how to appropriately increase the difficulty of Wukong's cultivation!

Upon seeing Tianqi return, Pingxin asked with doubt:

"Little brother, what brings you back?"

"Wasn't he accompanying that kid Sun Wukong in his cultivation?"

Tianqi also smiled and said:

"On Wukong's side, his brothers adjusted the time flow to a hundred years in Hell, which is equivalent to one day in the outside world."

"Since I was just sitting there idly anyway, I might as well come out and find something to do, and ask you brothers for some advice."

"Want to learn from you?" Di Jiang raised an eyebrow.

"You brat, didn't you say your cultivation path was special? I haven't seen you cultivate at all."

"What's wrong? Have you hit a bottleneck this time?"

"I suppose so," Tianqi replied without hesitation.

"My cultivation level has been stuck at the peak of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm for some time now."

Although my physical strength is still slowly increasing, I always feel that I am still a little short of achieving the Great Luo Primordial Dao.

"My Law of Power has been stagnant for quite some time now!"

After Tianqi finished speaking, the hall fell silent for a moment.

Only then did the Ancestral Witches belatedly realize that their little brother's cultivation had indeed not improved for a long time!

How long?! Probably tens of thousands of years!

"How far have you progressed in your cultivation of the Law of Power?"

Zhu Jiuyin spoke, and the illusory image of the River of Time flowed in his eyes.

Although he was asking questions, he had clearly already figured out most of Apocalypse's secrets!

"Intermediate level!"

Apocalypse scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

"And it's an incomplete intermediate level."

Ever since the last time the patriarch bestowed light upon me, my Law of Power has felt a bit off track.

Currently, its understanding of other "laws of power" is leaning towards "physical strength," and progress is minimal!

Upon hearing this, the ancestral witches understood the general idea.

Previously, in order to help the twelve Ancestral Witches comprehend cultivation and break through to the Hunyuan Daluo realm,

Houtu blasted a lot of innate spiritual treasures and spiritual roots to integrate into Tianqi's body, increasing his endurance.

The innate, indestructible spiritual light within those primordial treasures tempered the physical body of the Ancestral Witch of Heaven's Revelation to a terrifying degree.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he could shatter stars with a single punch and crack continents with a single stomp.

However, this power is ultimately not a complete law of force, and cannot elevate his laws as a whole.

The laws of force should originally encompass everything.

Effortless strength is the ability to lift heavy objects with ease, to deflect great weight with minimal effort, and to command authority with one's words.

Even causal relationships and the driving force of fate are different manifestations of force.

But Apocalypse went astray.

Simply put, Tianqi raised his overall grade ranking by focusing on his top-tier specialization in one subject!

It hasn't actually reached the level it appears to be on the surface yet...!

"So you want to..."

Gonggong seemed to be deep in thought.

"Using our understanding of the laws to replenish our full strength?"

"Huh?! Brother Gonggong's brain has become this sharp now?!"

They were able to say what they wanted to say before anyone else!

Thinking this through his mind, Apocalypse still nodded and said,

"That's right! The origin of my power of law is closely related to all of you brothers!"

Now, each of you brothers has mastered a law and has reached the Hunyuan realm.

If the elder brothers could pass on all their insights into their own laws to their younger brothers, so that the younger brothers could study and comprehend them,

I think I can find a breakthrough opportunity.
