Zhong Yuan looked back a few times, but couldn't find the Yellow-Robe Gentry. It seemed like he was the only one who had entered this temporary spacetime.
That's right, he felt that this should be a reenactment of a past spacetime.
There must be something stored here.
“This is what Sun Wukong really wanted to leave for the Heaven's Mandate?”
Zhong Yuan thought about it and it was indeed possible. If he didn't have an extraordinary understanding, even if he had obtained two Root Instruments, it would be difficult to directly observe the stories from the past spacetime.
Moreover, under normal circumstances, obtaining Ear-Listening Anger from the Yellow Wind Demon wouldn't be so easy.
“Perhaps this is something that would make it easier to obtain Ear-Listening Anger?”
This was starting to get a little reversed.
Zhong Yuan walked forward, and as expected, Tiger Vanguard stepped forward to block his way.
Zhong Yuan didn't bother with words. He went forward and, just like the Sun Wukong he had seen, didn't use any other methods. He relied solely on his staff techniques to fight Tiger Vanguard.
In the end, he defeated Tiger Vanguard with three strikes!
One fewer than Sun Wukong!
Although he didn't know how much strength Sun Wukong had actually used, Zhong Yuan was still satisfied with this result.
He didn't use the Primordial Unity Staff technique, which was an explosive staff technique, but rather relied on pure normal strength, which was quite good.
He continued forward, and sure enough, he met the Yellow Wind Demon from the past.
The Yellow Wind Demon at this time was indeed a lot more passionate, the kind of passion that hadn't been tempered by the harsh realities of society.
“To be honest, the Yellow Wind Demon falling into this situation is partly related to Sun Wukong's help.”
“If not for Sun Wukong, the Yellow Wind Demon might have successfully entered Lingji's sect here and lived a better life.”
“But in the end, he was deceived, and he didn't know how long he would be deceived. When he finally discovered the truth, the outcome might be even worse than it is now.”
Zhong Yuan carefully sensed the surrounding space and was basically certain that this could never truly change the past, and there was no need to change it anyway.
In the end, he simply helped the Yellow Wind Demon take out the Stabilizing Wind Pearl from the Scarab's body.
The moment he got the Stabilizing Wind Pearl, Zhong Yuan understood.
The Stabilizing Wind Pearl was real.
This should be Sun Wukong's preparation for his own fate before he rebelled against Heaven for the second time. He had put this Stabilizing Wind Pearl into the Stabilizing Wind Pearl from the past.
This way, even if Sun Wukong died and didn't have the key, Lingji wouldn't be able to return here and get his Stabilizing Wind Pearl.
This Stabilizing Wind Pearl was undoubtedly meant for him to restrain the Yellow Wind Demon.
If he killed someone else in Yellow Wind Ridge, not directly entering the Yellow Wind Formation, but instead searching for Stone Vanguard, killing him, and then opening the door, the Yellow Wind Demon wouldn't have any room to maneuver.
Lingji would just have to wait for him to defeat the Yellow Wind Demon.
“Apparently, the previous Heaven's Mandate bearers were all mute, which must have been deliberate words from the deities and Buddhas.”
“If I were to kill the Yellow Wind Demon and then learn the truth, my will would probably waver.”
Zhong Yuan carefully looked at the Yellow Wind Demon, focusing his attention on the Yellow Wind Demon's Three Mystical Winds.
He had also faintly comprehended some Yellow Wind power before, and he could draw on some of the Three Mystical Winds when he fought Lingji.
But this Three Mystical Winds wasn't actually released by himself, but rather borrowed from the Yellow Wind Demon's Yellow Wind Formation using Wind Control techniques.
Unfortunately, even by observing, he couldn't figure out much.
In the end, the Yellow Wind Demon killed the Scarab and said to Zhong Yuan with a sincere bow, “I am eternally grateful to you for saving the people of the city.”
The surrounding space became more fragile at this time.
Zhong Yuan moved his thoughts and said, “You don't have to be grateful. I see that your Wind Technique is very powerful. I wonder if I could ask how you cultivated it?”
He didn't intend to ask the Yellow Wind Demon outside. It would seem too greedy, and there was no need.
He might not actually need it anyway.
But this was a past spacetime that no longer existed. Asking wouldn't hurt, and if he could learn something, it would be a bonus.
The Yellow Wind Demon nodded directly, “If you want to know, you can ask. But I was able to cultivate this Three Mystical Winds to this level because of my talent. It's likely that you won't be able to achieve the same level if you learn it.”
There were many powerful Divine Techniques in the world, and there were not a few people who could obtain the cultivation methods for powerful Divine Techniques. But the ones who could truly cultivate them into Great Divine Techniques were few and far between.
Talent and understanding were key to this.
Zhong Yuan naturally didn't mind, so the Yellow Wind Demon candidly told Zhong Yuan the cultivation method of the Three Mystical Winds.
After the Yellow Wind Demon finished speaking, Zhong Yuan moved his thoughts, and the surrounding space shattered piece by piece.
Zhong Yuan reappeared in front of the entrance to the Sunset Ancient Kingdom that he had opened before.
【You have obtained the Stabilizing Wind Pearl. You are now immune to wind technique attacks. By releasing the Stabilizing Wind Pearl, you can also create an anti-air domain that prevents people from flying in it.】
【You have learned the cultivation method of the Three Mystical Winds. Your wind technique level has increased. You have mastered Wind Control Flight.】
【Three Mystical Winds: Can blow the heavens and earth dark, can stir the anxieties of ghosts and gods, can shatter rocks and collapse cliffs, can blow people to death, only those who are divine can remain unscathed.】
【You have comprehended the Yellow Wind Formation.】
There were quite a few gains. Combined with his Fire-Repelling Cover, he was now immune to wind and fire. He also had quite a few treasures.
However, the Yellow Wind Formation was purely a fixed formation used to enhance the Three Mystical Winds. Zhong Yuan calculated that it was difficult to use as a multi-person combo formation.
Multi-person combo formations were more akin to military formations. It was likely that the Four Great Heavenly Kings and other celestial soldiers would be more proficient at them.
Zhong Yuan looked around and found that the Yellow-Robe Gentry was also gone.
He didn't know if he saw Zhong Yuan disappear and went to look for him, or if he knew where he went, completed his mission, and went back.
“Yang Jian, what exactly are your plans?”
Zhong Yuan didn't hesitate. He went back, said goodbye to the Yellow Wind Demon, paid a visit to the Dog of the Year, and then flew towards the Western Paradise.
As for Yuan Shou Cheng, he had already left Yellow Wind Ridge several days ago.
The general location of the Western Paradise wasn't hard to find. When Huangmei rebuilt the Western Paradise, he had also held a Dharma Assembly, inviting many deities and demons to participate.
Zhong Yuan could learn the location from the Yellow Wind Demon.
He had just learned Wind Control Flight and wasn't flying very fast or high. It took him seven days to reach the vicinity of the Western Paradise.
He arrived at the foot of a snowy mountain.
At the foot of this snowy mountain, there were many caves carved with Buddha statues, seemingly prepared for ordinary people who were passing by on pilgrimages, so they wouldn't have to go up the mountain.
Further ahead, the mountain was covered in snow, a vast expanse of white.
Zhong Yuan landed in a cave and couldn't help but become serious.
Everyone knew Huangmei's intentions. He had taken Sun Wukong's Root Instrument and clearly wouldn't cooperate or return it.
He would definitely fight.
But Huangmei was difficult to deal with, and he didn't know what treasures he had now.
If Huangmei still had the Golden Cymbal and the Latter Heaven Human Seed Bag of the Maitreya Buddha, he wouldn't be easy to handle.
And the Yellow Wind Demon could steal Lingji's head and then open the Western Paradise, so there was no telling if Huangmei wouldn't steal those two items again.
“Forget it. Let's try it out.”
