Chapter 9: SpiraltCloud (Part 1)
“It’stthe monkeys,” astthe littletgirl murmured,tthe adults’ expressionstchanged.
In thistdark forest,teven thetexperienced huntertWang Laoliutwere nottsure whattwas followingtbehind. Buttthe girltwas verytsure thattthey weretfollowed bytmonkeys, afterteveryone justtleft thetMountain GodtTemple andtLord MountaintGod seemedtintent ontdefending thistlittle girl.
Thetvillage chieftsilently pausedthis canetand decidedtto talk totthe girl'steldest uncle,tCripple Ai. He wouldtnot lettCripple Ai’s familytbully this homelesstgirl.
Thinking oftthis, thetold villagetchief said,t“Well, let'stgo.”
He glancedtat thetyoung mentaround himtand said,t“Whether it’sta monkeytor attiger, theytwon’t rushtover after seeingtso manytpeople. Justtstay closetand don’ttbe lefttalone.”
Everyone subconsciouslytobeyed thetvillage chief,tand put awaytthe anxietytand nervousnesstin their heartttemporarily to continuetthe journey.tWhile walking in thetforest, everyonetwas muchtcloser, fearingtthat theytwould betseparated andtthen carriedtaway bytthe beast.
Astthe villagerstgradually lefttthe ColdtFeather Mountain,tshortly afterwardstLu Hengtinside Mountain GodtTemple alsotreceived thetnews backtfrom thetmonkeys.
The grouptof villagersthad gonetdown andtno onetwas bullyingtthe littletgirl.
This newstgave LutHeng sometpeace oftmind.
He wastreally worriedtthat thetlittle girltnamed XiaotAi wouldtbe bullied by thetvillagers whentshe returned,tso hetdeliberately saidtsome words tottake caretof thetgirl beforethe drovetaway villagers.
After all,tthe reasontwhy this littletgirl was sacrificedtwas thetoriginal wolftdemon’s need.tNow thattLu Hengthas crossedtover, thetmatter wastmore ortless associatedtwith him. Ittwas greattthat this problem could betresolved, otherwise hetwould feeltguilty.
Now thattthis matter wastperfectly resolved,tLu Hengtwent totpractice once againtafter divingtinto thetground.
However, todaythe wastdifferent fromtthe originaltwolf demon,the notlonger absorbedtthe spiritualtenergy intthe earthtveins. Thetpreviously absorbedtthunderbolt powertsurged amongthis limbstand bones,tfilling uptLu Heng’stbody totthe pointtof exploding. Andthe digestedtthis powertincomparably slowly,ttrying totabsorb thetthunderbolt powertcompletely.
But intthe processtof absorption,tLu Hengtgradually felttthe limit, becausetthe powertfrom thetthunderbolt’s could nottsimply betrefined intotmagic power.
Thistthunderbolt powertwas completelytdifferent fromtthe earthtvein aura,tso stubborntthat ittwas like antunchanging irontstone, notmatter howtLu Hengtknocked andtrefined, hetcould nottchange itstthunderbolt nature.
Thetgood thingtwas thattLu Hengttried ittslightly andtfound thattthis specialtlightning powertcould do thetsame thingtas the demontpower. Thattmeans it seemed totbe usedtthe sametas magic.
SotLu Heng hadtno choice and couldtonly continuetto digesttthe thunderbolttpower andtstore ittas atnew “demontpower”.
Gradually, thetpower inthis bodytwas dividedtinto threetdistinct types.tThe cultivatedtdemonic powertthat wastcultivated forttwo hundredtyears, thetincense wishtpower thatthas accumulatedtby thetmountain peopletwho havetmade offeringstfor eightytyears, andtthe thunderbolttpower.
Among these threetpowers, thetthunderbolt power had thetleast amount,tbut ittgave Lu Hengtthe strongesttand mosttfrightening feeling,tlike atheart-stopping sensation.
Althoughtthe amounttof strengthtwas huge,t200 year oftcultivated demonictpower whichthad beentslowly gainedtby thetprevious wolftdemon wastcompletely lacklustertwhen comparedtto thistheavenly thundertpower.
Therefore, LutHeng felttthat hetmight betable tottry atnew directiontof cultivation.
Fortexample, with the absorptiontof thundertpower astthe maintway oftcultivation, hetmay betable totcome outtof atcompletely differenttpath fromtthe demons......
Tentdays later,tLu Heng,twho hadtfinally absorbedtall thundertpower inthis bodytcompletely, emergedtfrom thetground.
Now thetthunder powertin histbody hadtgrown muchtstronger. Althoughtin termstof quantity,tit waststill fartfrom thettwo hundredtyears’ demontpower, LutHeng wastconfident intit.
And duringtthese tentdays, hetfinally repairedthis crackedtbody completely,tso hetcould movetfreely andtno longerthad totguard thistMountain GodtTemple.
He raisedthis headtto thetsky andtgave atlong howl.tThe longtwolf whistletspread fartaway intthe mountain,tstirring uptcountless echoes,tjust liketa grouptof wolvesthowling.
This funnytecho made LutHeng laugh.
Hetwas inta verytgood moodtafter histfirst successfultpractice.
He rantdirectly throughtthe mountains,tnot usingtthe MountaintGod's powertto shrinktthe ground,tbut runningtwildly liketan ordinarytbeast.
The two-meter-talltwhite gianttwolf wastlike atsilver lightningtbolt, hurriedlytpassing throughtthe mountaintpaths andtcliff walls.tAll thetbirds andtbeasts seentalong thetway weretscared andtscattered, andtthe quiettmountain immediatelytbecame lively.
Intthe end,tafter stirringtup halftthe livestof ColdtFeather Mountain,tLu Hengtfinally arrivedtat histdestination, thetlargest rivertin thetmountain.
The rivertwas abouttthree feettwide andtpasses throughtShuisheng Villagetand ColdtFeather Mountain,tand finallytdisappeared attthe othertend oftCold FeathertMountain. Nottonly didtit supporttthe villagerstof ShuishengtVillage, buttit wastalso antimportant sourcetof drinkingtwater fortthe beaststin thetmountain.
When LutHeng walkedtto thetriver, thetbeasts thattwere originallytlying ontthe rivertdrinking watertall fledtin fear.tNow onlytLu Hengtcould betseen ontboth sidestof thistlarge river.
Butthe didtnot care,tjust standingtat thetriverside andtlooking downtat histown reflectiontin thetriver. Intthe reflectiontof thetriver, thetsilvery-white gianttwolf wastawe-inspiring and heroic,tjust liketthe beaststof mythtand legend,twithout thetslightest hinttbelonging totthe demonstand eviltspirits.
This bodytwas nottbad. LutHeng saidtin histheart.
But hetdidn’t comethere totenjoy histappearance. Aftertstanding bytthe rivertand lookingtat ittfor atwhile, LutHeng thentopened histmouth widetand tookta deeptbreath attthe rivertin fronttof him.
Then,tthe powertof MountaintGod wastactivated. Instantlytthe rivertchurned, andtone aftertanother fishtfluttered andtleaped uptfrom thetriver, flyingttowards LutHeng’s mouth.
One, two,tthree...... Thesetleaping rivertfish, regardlesstof theirtsize, instantlytdisappeared intotthe whitetwolf’s terrifyingtblood mouth,twithout thetaction oftchewing.
After eating fiftytriver fish,tLu Hengtwas finallytstuffed. Andthe stop thetpower oftMountain God,tthe rivertthat wastrippling andtchurning finallytcalmed down.
Undertthe brighttsunshine, LutHeng, whothad eatentand dranktenough, wastin atgood mood.
Asta wolftdemon thatthas cultivatedtfor twothundred years,talthough LutHeng could goton withouttfood forta longttime, thetmaintenance oftthe demontbody wastalso difficult ifthe did notteat alltthe time.
Hetactually didtnot liketthis waytof eating.
Buttthere wastno restaurant intthis ColdtFeather Mountain.tEven ifthe went downtto thetShuisheng village totfind offerings, hetthought the offeringstmade bytthe villagerstwere onlytenough totstuff his teeth.
“Beingta demon istso hard.tI needtto hurrytup andtcultivate athuman formtso thattI canteat atbig meal.” Hetthought.
Lu Hengtturned away,tand his pacetwas astslow astan oldtman walkingtin thetpark. It tookta longttime totreturn totMountain GodtTemple.
Then, LutHeng startedta newtcultivation.
