Just as Sun Wukong had yet to react, Jingu Bang had already devoured the Thunder Dragon completely. In the end, it even belched a wisp of lightning, as if... as if it had let out a satiated burp after a good al.
Witnessing this scene slipping out of his control, Sun Wukong couldn’t help but look astonished. Ever since Jingu Bang had suddenly absorbed the earth attribute’s Spiritual Charm from his Divine Sense sea, the staff had beco increasingly disobedient.
Nonetheless, the connection between Jingu Bang and Wukong’s spirit had not weakened but had strengthened instead, and it was this fact that convinced Sun Wukong that Jingu Bang was still Jingu Bang, and not turned into an evil or demonic weapon. After all, such events were not uncommon.
In Ancient Tis, several Divine Weapons birthed Spiritual Wisdom by absorbing the charm of heaven and earth.
However, since weapons’ nature is to kill, the vast majority of weapons that developed Spiritual Wisdom ended up as Evil Weapons, obsessed only with slaughter; the lighter cases discarded their masters and left on their own, while the more severe ones even devoured their masters to increase their own power.
With a beckoning hand, Jingu Bang flew back into his grasp, and feeling the pulse-like blood connection and the very apparent excitent emanating from the staff, Sun Wukong believed that it wouldn’t be long before Jingu Bang developed its own Spiritual Wisdom.
It seed he needed to not only search for things that could enhance his fiery golden eyes but also find a place completely devoid of slaughter to ensure that Jingu Bang could birth a pure Spiritual Wisdom. Otherwise, it could truly beco a massive problem.
During these thoughts, Sun Wukong had already flown through the massive hole created by the Thunder Dragon’s exit. He flew out defenselessly because of a piece of information transmitted from Jingu Bang while it was in Sun Wukong’s hand.
Jingu Bang communicated that the Thunder Dragon was the Taoist’s trump card, and by consuming it, he had inflicted severe internal injuries on the Taoist. Thus, the man was no longer a threat.
So Sun Wukong carelessly flew out and indeed, reality matched the intention conveyed by Jingu Bang exactly; the Taoist sat in a daze, the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth confirming his serious injuries.
Sun Wukong shook his head gently and then, paying no further heed to the Taoist, turned and left.
What constitutes a genius? A genius is soone who, from birth, possesses abilities far beyond those of ordinary people, excelling dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of tis more, no matter what they do.
Without a doubt, this young Taoist from the Illusion Demon Clan was one such true genius, even among geniuses.
At the age of five hundred and twenty-one this year, Illusion Technique from the Illusion Demon Clan has a lifespan proportional to one’s strength. Born with a lifespan of two hundred years, if one’s strength does not advance in this life, then it stays at two hundred. However, every ti one’s strength ascends a level, their lifespan increases to varying degrees.
This was not only exceedingly rare amongst the Demon Clan but also in the entire Cultivation World. While it’s true that immortals in the Cultivation World increase their lifespans as their strength improves, it’s definitely not as exaggerated as with the Illusion Demon Clan.
Illusion Technique was at the mid-tier Saint level strength at five hundred and twenty-one years of age, attaining a lifespan akin to that of the heavens.
To beco a saint in five hundred years is a talent seen once in ten thousand years. Moreover, the Illusion Demon Clan was known for their Illusion Techniques, with all their saints having achieved sainthood through the Path of Illusion. Yet, this Illusion Technique, uniquely, beca a saint through Taoist Arts.
Abandoning the innate Illusion Technique talent he was born with, he solely cultivated the Five Elents Dao Arts known for their formidable attack power.

But today, this super-genius who was hard to co by in the world actually lost. There was no intense collision of Taoist spells, no fierce, desperate fight to the death. He inexplicably failed just like that.
The Thunder Dragon he had unleashed at the end, which was infused with the Chaos of the Five Elents, disappeared without even scratching the opponent.
This bewildering defeat in the face of Illusion Technique was sothing he couldn’t accept.
However, Sun Wukong didn’t care about such things. There are many geniuses in the world, but only those with firm willpower can make it to the end. Even if you have outstanding talents, if you can’t face even one failure calmly, your accomplishnts will never be too great.
This was what Sun Wukong realized during the five hundred years under the Five Elents Mountain.
Actually speaking, from the mont he set foot on this island to now, he’d managed to pass through three trials, but these were sowhat due to luck.
The Divine Archer in the first trial was definitely an expert. A pity his only shortcoming was the lack of a developed Pupil Power. As an archer, his vision was extrely powerful, but he did not possess the special pupil power to discern the true from the false. Therefore, he was deceived by Wukong’s doppelganger, allowing Wukong to get close.
Once a long-range archer is approached by a lee attacker, the outco is often not too pleasant. If at that ti the archer had seen through Wukong’s doppelganger, the first trial would probably have been a fierce battle.
The second trial featured that unbelievably defensively powerful individual, whose defensive power was like nothing Sun Wukong had ever seen. It was hard to imagine how soone from a tribe that relied on Illusion Technique for survival could have such an exceptionally sturdy physical body.
If it hadn’t been for Sun Wukong’s cleverness during the clash, taking advantage of the mont before the opponent could gather strength for the second ti, suddenly initiating a full-force partial transformation, it probably would have been another tough fight, a battle of pure physical prowess.
At that ti, Sun Wukong forcibly suppressed the desire in his heart to have a thoroughly invigorating and fierce battle. He relished such pure power-type opponents. However, for the sake of the Five-Colored Divine Stone of the Fire System, Wukong had to bear with it. If he had accidentally gotten injured in the second trial, it would have been disadvantageous for the road ahead.
By the third trial, Sun Wukong was even more at ease. Aside from using a substitute to block an attack in the beginning, he rely used the Jingu Bang to trap his opponent and then burrowed underground. Then, he watched as the Jingu Bang demonstrated its divine prowess by absorbing the fearso Thunder Dragon. The third trial, Sun Wukong passed as well.
Although he had passed through three trials without expending much physical strength, Sun Wukong felt not a hint of relief, and he beca even more cautious. Just the third trial had already revealed an opponent with the strength of a mid-level Saint. Outside, even a lower-level Saint would be a hotly coveted treasure courted and worshipped by all powers.
But here, a mighty Saint was rely a gatekeeper.
It seed that this world was not as simple as Wukong had imagined. And this Illusion Demon Clan was not comparable to the Aquatic Tribe he had encountered before.

Overthinking is of no benefit; thinking too much might create flaws in one’s unstoppable montum. No matter how rugged and difficult the path ahead, he must always continue to advance.
Next, would be the fourth trial. In this trial, it was very likely that he would encounter a high-level Saint or even a Saint at the peak. Moreover, it was very possible that it would be a true master of Illusion Technique who had achieved sainthood through their art.
Regarding this, Sun Wukong felt sowhat uneasy. Ever since he discovered that his Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils could no longer keep up with the strength of his opponents, Illusion Technique had beco Wukong’s weakness.
If he really encountered a master of Illusion Technique and his Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils couldn’t break through their illusions, then it would truly be dangerous.
