(Students, it's not the end yet. Although the first few chapters are really well-written and meaningful, there are still a lot of important parts to this story. First, we have to conquer the world in a tacky way. Then, are we not going to explore other worlds? Also, I made a mistake in yesterday's chapter. After I updated it, I was reminded by a friend and changed it. I don't know if any of you saw it. If you did, please pretend you didn't see it …)

…
This monster was Chusu.
In White Emperor City, he had been forced to retreat again and again by Xu You Rong. He was simply no match for her, but that was because of their mutual engendering and restraining. In truth, in the world below the Divine Domain, he had the ability to threaten any expert, whether it was Chen Changsheng or Qiushan Jun.
This desolate and uninhabited plain did not have any excessively ancient or powerful monsters. Even if there were some herds of beasts that were difficult to deal with, they were easily subdued by the Earth Monkey. After several years, he very quickly became the sovereign of this plain.
Perhaps because the influence of the previous sect master's strand of soul on his body was growing weaker and weaker, or perhaps because he enjoyed the life of a sovereign, Chusu never left the plains again, much less continued to take revenge on Su Li's descendants.
Occasionally, late at night, he would sit at the highest point of the meadow and look at the south in silence for a long time.
It was not because he missed her. He definitely did not miss the cold and damp days at the bottom of the cliff in the Longevity Sect. Rather, it was because he was fighting against his instinctive desires.
When he was created, his soul had been implanted with an indelible desire to kill and a bone-deep hatred for anyone related to the name Su Li. If he couldn't vent this desire and hatred through violent actions, it was very likely that he would be devoured by the Yellow Springs Art.
But too many Elves had died on this plain, and the soil was soaked in blood. Very few people passed through.
He had no one to kill, so he could only learn to endure and learn to fight against this instinctive desire.
One night, he was sitting at the highest point of the meadow when he suddenly sensed something and looked up at the sky.
Among the many stars in the sky, one of them became extremely bright, at least a few hundred times brighter than usual. It was very eye-catching.
Chusu's face paled, and not even those black hairs could conceal it.
He didn't know if it was because of the starlight or some other reason.
"How is this possible?"
As he gazed at that dazzling star, Chusu's mind was in turmoil.
"Another person has actually entered the Divine Domain! Why isn't that person me! "
He roared angrily and smashed his hands on the ground, sending grass and mud flying everywhere.
"No! Absolutely not! "
Chusu's unpleasant and hoarse voice echoed through the dark plains, the entire world able to sense his unwillingness and resentment.
All of a sudden, he stopped shouting and sniffed around like a dog in the night air.
With a rustling, the Earth Monkey appeared on the meadow, using its forelegs to crawl to Chusu's side.
Chusu had a hunchback and a short stature. He wore a tattered black robe and his entire body exuded a rancid odor.
The more beautiful the starry sky, the uglier Chusu was, especially when his agitated waving hands were illuminated by the starlight.
His hands were covered in scales and covered in black fur. His sharp claws were covered in filth and flesh that had rotted for who knew how many years.
Anyone, even demonic beasts, would reveal feelings of disgust or fear when looking at such a monster.
The Earth Monkey did not. It looked at Chusu with eyes full of confusion, trust, and worship.
"There's a treasure."
Chusu looked at a certain place in the darkness and spoke in a low and hoarse voice.
The brightest star in the night sky represented that an expert had entered the Divine Domain, just like how Wang Po had broken through by the Luo River. All things in the world would sense this, especially the laws or existences above the Divine Domain.
Chusu could clearly sense the ripples of divine Qi.
He could sense it so clearly because the divine aura was in the grassland, not far away.
The true body of that divine Qi was probably in a state of slumber, or perhaps in a weakened state.
To greedy cultivators, this was an irresistible temptation, let alone the Yellow Springs art that Chusu cultivated.
Without hesitation, he burrowed into the ground, heading toward that place in the darkness.
The Earth Monkey looked around the meadow and let out a low whimper as a warning. Then it stood up, peed, and followed Chusu into the ground.
… …
… …
Several dozen li away, there was a rocky mountain. It looked very ordinary on the outside, but the rocks on the inside were red.
In the depths of a certain cave, the walls were painted with simple and unadorned murals from ancient times. The light was dim, and one could faintly make out a stone platform.
On the stone platform was a bird's nest formed from branches and soft grass, within which lay a simple and unadorned little bird.
This cave was several li deep, its structure extremely complex, and there were countless forks in the road. Not even the most formidable monster could reach the bottom.
Logically speaking, the gray bird should be very safe.
But even the most complex structure could not stop those creatures that could burrow into the earth.
As he gazed at that unremarkable gray bird, Chusu's body began to tremble, the stench from his tattered black robe growing thicker and thicker.
He did not fear a being of the Divine Domain, nor was he disappointed that he had found the wrong target. He was excited.
He felt that his rough fate had finally come to an end.
The word 'lucky' had finally fallen on his head.
When the Earth Monkey followed the trail Chusu had left behind and emerged from the ground, it saw this sight.
When its gaze fell on that gray little bird, it instantly went blank.
To put it another way, even its extremely experienced, extremely sinister, and shameless self was dumbfounded.
The Earth Monkey recognized that gray little bird.
Let alone a mere change in shape, even if it had been reduced to dust, it would still not dare to forget it.
This bird was the Golden-winged Great Peng.
On the Plains of the Unsetting Sun, countless monsters revered it.
Just like the Dragon race and the Phoenix, the Golden-winged Great Peng was an innately divine creature.
Chusu was keenly aware of the benefits of eating a Golden-winged Great Peng.
It was obvious that this Golden-winged Great Peng was in the midst of a long awakening and had no ability to protect itself.
Chusu could not let this chance slip by.
The Earth Monkey was also keenly aware of this, so no matter how crafty and sinister it was, it could not think of a way to stop Chusu.
At this moment, the gray little bird opened its eyes.
With a glance, it knew what that putrid monster wanted to do.
There was no fear or pleading in the young Peng's eyes, only indifference.
An indescribably terrifying pressure appeared in the cave.
"Do you think that I would be frightened by you?"
Chusu's voice was very hoarse and unpleasant to hear.
The young Peng's eyes were brimming with anger.
But just as Chusu thought, it was at a crucial moment in the awakening of its soul and could not move.
A howl brimming with ruthlessness and grievance resounded through the cave.
"You and I are the same, both proud and cold poison seeds that have never liked this world. We have no master, no friends, so naturally no one will be willing to save us. This being the case, why don't we become one and have another contest with this world? "
Chusu solemnly said to the young Peng.
The young Peng rolled its eyes at him like he was an idiot.
A streak of fire suddenly appeared in the night sky.
The streak of fire pierced into the rock.
The earth quaked and lava surged, its heat indescribable.
The mountain collapsed, a cloud of dust rising.
Chusu sensed a familiar Qi and recalled the pain from several years ago, his face turning abnormally pale.
A petite figure walked out of the dust, its wings slowly folding up and then vanishing.
The young Peng cried out at this figure, seeming both wronged and like a child acting like a spoiled child.
Xu Yourong reached out and caressed it.
The young Peng seemed very comfortable. With a few grunts, it closed its eyes and continued to sleep.
"So it was you …"
At this sight, Chusu sorrowfully said, "All the good things in the world are yours. Is there any justice in this?"
Xu Yourong thought this over, then said, "It really does seem rather unfair."
Chusu sensed her Qi and suddenly began to laugh.
His laughter was very unpleasant to hear, his smile even more so.
"So it wasn't you." (To be continued …)
