Chapter 197
At the foot of Black Wind Ridge, black smoke billowed, and the few remaining thatched huts were inhabited by passing merchants.
After checking his surroundings, Ye Ming walked to an empty thatched hut and carefully observed the condition of his body.
Five hundred years ago, when he knew he was about to be sealed, he directly used the power of the laws to seal everything about himself within his soul.
Now that the memories have been awakened, everything within the Immortal Aperture has been restored, and the long-dormant power has also been reawakened.
The region within the Immortal Aperture remained largely unchanged, but his mastery of the power of laws had become more refined and significantly increased.
In terms of combat power alone, having gathered the power of several clones, even with only the seventh-level Red Date Immortal Essence, his killing moves and combat power are comparable to an eighth-level Gu Immortal.
In each world, the combat power system is different, and the manifestation of combat power also varies.
However, as long as one masters the relevant laws, one can exert considerable combat power in any world.
Ye Ming sat cross-legged on the bed in the thatched hut, his mind absorbed in his own power cultivation technique.
At the central point of the Immortal Aperture, Di Tian, Bi Ji, and Lü Ji continued to diligently maintain the operation of the blessed land, following his instructions.
The Silver Dragon King, whose name was changed to Shen Cui by Ye Ming and whose consciousness was altered by the Scales of Judgment, wanders around the Immortal Aperture, maintaining stability within it.
Now, the entire Immortal Aperture, which encompasses the entire Douluo Star and whose power system has been changed by Ye Ming into the Gu Realm system, has experienced a boom in both Gu Masters and Gu Insects after a long period of development.
Within the entire Immortal Aperture, there are already tens of thousands of fifth-level Gu Masters alone.
Various systems of Gu magic emerged and flourished, driven by war.
However, no fifth-level Gu Master has been able to break through the boundary between mortal and immortal.
When they try to break free from that edge, they will be directly eliminated by the backup plan left by Ye Ming.
Ascension?
It's just a scam.
What Ye Ming wanted was the culmination of various Gu techniques, not an accident that would shake his position.
With just a thought, the Gu Dao and Gu insect concepts that these Gu masters had planned for hundreds of years were directly absorbed into Ye Ming's mind.
With terrifying soul power, he transformed this knowledge into nourishment for increasing his Gu cultivation in an instant.
In a corner of the Immortal Aperture, several clones built huts and lived leisurely lives.
In the absence of Ye Ming and the mission, the various clones lived a very prosperous life.
Even if Ye Ming reveals the combat power systems of each of them, the power contained in their bodies alone is enough to dominate the entire Immortal Aperture.
With just a mental scan, Ye Ming stopped paying attention to the group.
After examining the area and finding no unusual activity within the immortal aperture, Ye Ming calmed his mind.
Just then, he suddenly sensed a slight disturbance beneath the stone tablet inscribed with "Black Wind Ridge" in the distance.
A black mountain demon, resembling a bat, moved the stone tablet and quietly rose.
Ye Ming habitually exhaled a breath of stale air, got up and walked to the haystack next to him, slowly draining the water.
Suddenly, the moonlight shimmered, and Tang Sanzang, dressed in strange attire, appeared beside him, clasping his hands together and murmuring:
"Wukong, you're pretending to be human again."
Ye Ming rolled his eyes, walked to the thatched hut next to him and lay down, ignoring Tang Sanzang's nagging.
"Wukong, why are you ignoring this humble monk?"
Tang Sanzang walked very familiarly to the thatched bed beside him, lay down, and continued chanting while staring at him:
"You have no idea, I often dream about you when I travel through time!"
Seeing that Tang Sanzang wanted to continue rambling, Ye Ming was already getting impatient.
He reached out and covered Tang Sanzang's mouth with his other hand, while pointing to another thatched hut not far away.
Tang Sanzang looked up and his eyes widened instantly.
A pale-skinned, bat-like humanoid monster appeared hopping and skipping beside the thatched hut.
It quietly entered the house, and with a single sniff, it instantly drained the yang energy of the person inside the thatched hut.
The man's head lolled to the side, and he fell silent.
Tang Sanzang's body trembled slightly, and his hands and feet unconsciously reached out to touch Ye Ming's body.
Ye Ming stopped him, and the two of them looked up and continued to stare at the bat-like monster.
In the blink of an eye, after absorbing the yang energy of the people on the bed, the monster hopped and skipped directly toward the two of them.
The moment the monster looked up, the two of them instantly collapsed onto the bed, pretending to be fast asleep.
A few breaths later, the monster arrived above the two of them, just about to open its mouth to suck them in. The two of them, very skillfully and naturally, tilted to the sides and dodged the monster's attack.
Upon seeing this, the monster hesitated for a moment, then turned to Tang Sanzang and began to draw blood again.
Just as he opened his mouth, Tang Sanzang pretended to be asleep, picked his nose, and turned his head towards Ye Ming.
Seeing this, the monster tilted its head towards Ye Ming, preparing to absorb his yang energy.
Ye Ming turned his head towards Tang Sanzang in the same way, thus dodging the monster's attack once again.
A hint of anger flashed across the white-faced, bat-like monster's face. It reached out and pinched Ye Ming's cheek, turning his head back.
Just as it opened its mouth, preparing to absorb Ye Ming's yang energy, it suddenly noticed that Ye Ming's eyes snapped open.
A cold and murderous glint flashed in those eyes, which were as deep as a pool.
In that instant, Ye Ming unleashed a powerful punch, shattering the void and striking the head of the white-faced bat.
boom! !
With a loud bang, the white-faced bat monster didn't even have time to let out a scream before Ye Ming smashed its head with a single punch.
Its body suddenly fell backward with a loud thud.
Ye Ming calmly rose to his feet, glancing at the already deceased Black Mountain Demon, "I left you a way out, but you refused to take it!"
Meanwhile, Tang Sanzang suddenly widened his eyes and muttered, "Wukong, you were able to defeat this monster, so why didn't you make a move sooner?"
"Those three people were three lives too!"
"Alas, your actions are causing me immense distress!"
Ye Ming rolled his eyes, ignoring Tang Sanzang's rambling.
If he hadn't been unsure how to deal with Tang Sanzang, this unstable element, he would have killed him with a single punch and used him to refine poisons.
Zixia Fairy's inner demons have not yet been resolved, so we cannot allow any further changes to occur on Tang Sanzang's side.
Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, a loud bang rang out, and the Bull Demon King, wielding a trident, strode through the air, sneering:
"Hahaha, my good brother, you've brought Tang Sanzang to me again?"
"Excellent! With all the demons gathered, I suggest we hold the Longevity Feast in the next two days!"
"Xiangxiang has been waiting for you for a long time!"
As Ye Ming watched the approaching Bull Demon King, a myriad of thoughts flashed through his mind.
He thought to himself, "I've only regained my memories and my original power. If I were to truly encounter the Bull Demon King, I might not necessarily lose."
However, Sun Wukong's power contains the pure Daoist principles of the laws of power and transformation.
Five hundred years ago, he was in a great hurry and had no time to comprehend the power of Sun Wukong himself.
If one wishes to comprehend the power of those laws, one must first acquire Sun Wukong's power and then carefully comprehend it.
After thinking it through, Ye Ming quietly looked up, cupped his hands, and smiled:
"That's absolutely right, brother!"
"I've been waiting for my elder brother for so long!"
Upon seeing this, the Bull Demon King was overjoyed and, with a wave of his hand, grabbed Tang Sanzang.
He looked at Ye Ming, his bull-like eyes filled with admiration. "Brother, let's return to Bull Head Fortress now, gather the demons, and hold a wedding banquet!"
"Fairy Zixia has agreed to our wedding, so we have three happy events in one!"
Upon hearing the Bull Demon King's words, Ye Ming felt a sense of annoyance for some reason.
He touched the corner of his mouth, as if feeling that softness that appeared in his memory.
"Alright! I'll listen to you, elder brother!"
He smiled slightly, his cold eyes fixed on the Bull Demon King.
The Bull Demon King laughed loudly, grabbed Tang Sanzang, and flew towards Bull Head Fortress.
Ye Ming pondered for a moment, then followed him into the air, flying towards Bull Head Fortress.
As dawn broke, news of the marriages of the great demon Bull Demon King and Fairy Zixia, and of the marriage of the great demon Sun Wukong to Bull Demon King's sister Sun Wukong, had already spread across several continents.
In Beiju Luzhou, many hidden old monsters had already set off long ago, flying towards Niu Tou Bao.
The entire Niu Tou Bao was filled with a festive atmosphere, with red cloth covering the surrounding area for miles.
Dressed in red, Ye Ming, sitting next to Niu Xiangxiang in the living room, covered his head and looked at Niu Xiangxiang, whose body was trembling, and said:
"It's a wedding, why are you crying?"
Niu Xiangxiang lifted a corner of her red veil, looked at Ye with a smile, and said:
"I'm not crying, I just saw you drooling."
Ye Ming rubbed his forehead and looked to the side. Pigsy and Sandy, who had somehow sneaked into Bull Head Fortress, were secretly waving and winking at him.
Ye Ming surveyed his surroundings, then quietly left the hall and walked towards the two of them.
At that moment, at the main entrance, the Bull Demon King looked at the guests from all directions, including demons of all sizes, and spoke with a smile.
"Today is a day of triple celebration!"
"Besides my younger sister's wedding and longevity banquet, it's also time for me, Xiong Niu, to take a concubine!"
Below, a toad spirit with its mouth agape muttered, "Brother Niu is taking another concubine. Doesn't his wife have any objections?"
The Bull Demon King frowned, forcing a smile, glared at the toad demon, and patted his chest, saying:
"That sallow-faced woman is currently in the Flaming Mountains, a hundred and nine thousand miles away!"
Even if she finds out, she can't do anything about it!
Upon hearing this, the monsters below burst into laughter.
A dog demon beside him then asked, "Brother Ox, could you tell me how you met this new lady?"
The Bull Demon King glanced at the dog demon with an approving look and said with a smile, "The day before yesterday, I passed through the Luoyang Desert and saw a beautiful woman lying on the ground, barely alive."
"My kindness was stirred again, so I brought the girl back and healed her injuries."
"We are mutually attracted, so the Bull has decided to take Fairy Zixia as his concubine!"
He waved slightly, and Zixia, with an indifferent expression, walked out.
He took Zixia's hand and said kindly, "Come, come, Zixia, let me introduce you to my sister and brother-in-law."
Ignoring the demons below, the Bull Demon King waved to Niu Xiangxiang in the distance, then walked into the inner hall and pulled Ye Ming out.
In an instant, Ye Ming's eyes met those of Fairy Zixia.
In an instant, their eyes met, as if a myriad of lights were flowing between them.
Zixia felt a slight pang in her heart when she recalled his indifferent gaze when they met yesterday.
She stared intently at Ye Ming, murmuring, "You can stay here and get married?"
When Ye Ming met Zixia Fairy's eyes, a sense of panic inexplicably rose in his heart.
This was a feeling he had never experienced before.
"It seems that Supreme Treasure's memories are affecting me."
Ye Ming murmured a few words to himself, but did not respond.
"Hmm? Zixia, do you two know each other?" Bull Demon King Niu Tou looked at Zixia and asked in confusion.
A wry smile appeared on Zixia's face. "Who wouldn't recognize the Monkey King who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace?"
As she said this, her gaze fell on Supreme Treasure, and a slight pang of pain shot through her heart.
It was originally just an excuse to fool Erlang Shen, but now it has unexpectedly become a reality.
Most importantly, when they met again, the other party was already about to marry another woman.
They became lovers in the market in Luoyang and started dating.
Erlang Shen caught up with her, and she confessed her feelings to Supreme Treasure.
"Supreme Treasure, wait for me!"
"I believe that my ideal man will come to marry me wearing golden armor and riding on auspicious clouds of seven colors."
At that moment, spiritual energy surged in her hand, and she gently pointed it at Supreme Treasure. The spiritual energy swept over him, enveloping him completely, and then carried him away towards the desert.
"Zixia!!!"
She clearly remembered the anxiety and deep affection in Supreme Treasure's eyes when they parted.
But when they met again, it was in such a state.
Zixia felt bitter and her expression was gloomy.
A glistening tear silently slid down her cheek.
Ye Ming looked at Zixia in front of him and saw the glistening tears in the corner of her eyes, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
He took a deep breath and suppressed these distracting thoughts.
Just then, the toad demon below suddenly raised its hand and said, "I object to this marriage!"
"Ah! What did you say!" The Bull Demon King's eyes widened, his anger flaring.
"Fairy Zixia has a rule for choosing a spouse!" the toad spirit shouted. "If you can do that, we'll be completely convinced!"
"What kind of rules are these!" The Bull Demon King remembered this toad spirit and exhaled white breath from his nostrils.
"She once swore that whoever could pull out the Purple and Green Sword would be her destined husband," the toad spirit said with a grin.
"That's not true! It was just a joke I made with everyone." Zixia gave Ye Ming a deep look, then turned and walked into the inner hall.
Seeing this, the Bull Demon King's anger flared, and he pointed at the demons, saying, "You bastards, how dare you cause trouble on my territory!"
"Today I will definitely marry Zixia, and anyone who dares to stop me will die!"
boom! !
Just then, the gate of Bullhead Fortress was kicked open, and Princess Iron Fan, with a murderous look on her face, slowly walked in.
The Bull Demon King was still furious when a bull-headed henchman approached and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Princess Iron Fan has arrived!"
"ah??"
The Bull Demon King was shocked and his neck shrank back sharply.
He suddenly turned his head and saw Princess Iron Fan with a fierce expression.
The Bull Demon King revealed a fawning smile. "Madam, please let me explain. This is a misunderstanding."
"Hmph, no one would believe you!" Princess Iron Chain snorted coldly, but her gaze turned to Ye Ming beside her.
Upon seeing Ye Ming dressed in red as a groom, Princess Iron Fan's anger flared. She spoke to Ye Ming sarcastically:
"Hey, Monkey King! What's this? You've got a wife?"
The Bull Demon King scratched his head, suddenly feeling somewhat at a loss.
