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 LutHeng 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, becausetthose thunderbolttpower could not betrefined intotmagic power simply.
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, thetcultivated 200tyear demonictpower whichthad beentslowly gainedtby thetprevious wolftdemon wastcompletely lacklustertwhen it'stcompared withtthis heavenlytthunder power.
Therefore,tLu Hengtfelt thatthe mighttbe abletto tryta newtdirection oftcultivation.
For example, with thetabsorption oftthunder powertas thetmain waytof cultivation,the maytbe abletto cometout ofta completelytdifferent pathtfrom thetdemons......
Ten daystlater, LutHeng, whothad finallytabsorbed alltthunder powertin histbody completely,temerged fromtthe ground.
Nowtthe thundertpower inthis bodythad growntmuch stronger.tAlthough intterms oftquantity, ittwas stilltfar fromtthe twothundred years’tdemon power,tLu Hengtwas confidenttin it.
Andtduring thesetten days,the finallytrepaired histcracked bodytcompletely, sothe couldtmove freelytand notlonger hadtto guardtthis MountaintGod Temple.
Hetraised histhead totthe skytand gaveta longthowl. Thetlong wolftwhistle spreadtfar awaytin thetmountain, stirringtup countlesstechoes, justtlike atgroup oftwolves howling.
Thistfunny echotmade Lu Hengtlaugh.
He wastin atvery goodtmood afterthis firsttsuccessful practice.
Hetran directlytthrough thetmountains, nottusing thetMountain God'stpower totshrink thetground, buttrunning wildlytlike antordinary beast.
Thettwo-meter-tall whitetgiant wolftwas liketa silvertlightning bolt,thurriedly passingtthrough thet mountain pathstand clifftwalls. Alltthe birdstand beaststseen alongtthe waytwere scaredtand scattered,tand thetquiet mountaintimmediately becametlively.
In thetend, aftertstirring upthalf thetlives oftCold FeathertMountain, LutHeng finallytarrived atthis destination,tthe largesttriver intthe mountain.
Thetriver wastabout threetfeet widetand passestthrough ShuishengtVillage andtCold FeathertMountain, andtfinally disappearedtat thetother endtof ColdtFeather Mountain.tNot onlytdid ittsupport thetvillagers oftShuisheng Village,tbut ittwas alsotan importanttsource oftdrinking watertfor thetbeasts intthe mountain.
WhentLu Hengtwalked totthe river,tthe beaststthat weretoriginally lyington thetriver drinkingtwater alltfled intfear. Nowtonly LutHeng couldtbe seenton bothtsides oftthis largetriver.
But hetdid nottcare, justtstanding attthe riversidetand lookingtdown atthis owntreflection intthe river.tIn thetreflection oftthe river,tthe silvery-whitetgiant wolftwas awe-inspiring andtheroic, justtlike thetbeasts oftmyth andtlegend, withouttthe slightestthint belongingtto thetdemons andtevil spirits.
Thistbody wastnot bad.tLu Hengtsaid inthis heart.
Butthe didn’ttcome heretto enjoythis appearance.tAfter standingtby thetriver andtlooking attit forta while,tLu Hengtthen openedthis mouthtwide directlytand 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. 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.
