The Legend of Zhi Long

6. The Scepter of the Divine Emperor Zhi Qiang

In Kongzu City, Xinghou College, In the Interior of Tinghua Mountain, Demon Forest, Tinghua Mountain Peak.

A ferocious Demon that had an infinite Deep Power, he had an aura that made one look at him like one would worship him.

The figure was a Monkey that stood upright with an entirely white body clean, on Mount Tinghua Peak there was also a lot of snow scattered everywhere. It was just like Tinghua Mountain Peak was exposed to Snow, others were not.

The white monkey is referred to as the Snow Monkey because all over its white body, it holds a long and large golden stick.

Snow Ape was like waiting for someone to come, he was preparing to wait for his coming. Like waiting for his master to return, he looked carefree and loyal.

"Have they got here?". Asked the Snow Ape with a very majestic voice.

Around it many Devils gathered, the scene was like a group of terrifying Devils.

"They're here, sir...". Answer the other devil.

Those who were already in the Tier 1 Late Plane had their own mindset and could speak like human language, it was an ordinary Devil before the Snow Ape.

Snow Ape itself was not an indiscriminate Ape, its Demon warriors around the area were in the Lower Realm End Plane to the Intermediate Realm Noble Plane, the Demon Lordship, The Snow Ape himself was on the Intermediate Realm Wise Plane he was the strongest.

It was only fitting that he was dubbed as the Strongest Demon by the Xinghou College Elder, because he was at the Peak of power on Earth at the moment. After passing through the Intermediate Realm, all living beings on Earth would be sent towards the Sky, where all Gods came from.

The Snow Ape itself was the Emperor of Apes brought by one of the uniting Emperors, Divine Emperor Zhi Qiang, through his power the Snow Ape was only subject to him.

The reason why Divine Emperor Zhi Qiang died was also only he knew, his scepter was a gift from the Divine Emperor Zhi Qiang.

The staff was bright Gold in color, it extended like its huge body.

The height of the Snow Ape itself was around 10 Meters, he was like he was almost reaching the Sky above him.

"Greet them well, one of them is our Master". The Snow Monkey said.

"Good, Master..". Respond in unison to all the devils before him.

In the distance, just below the Peak of Tinghua Mountain, the Demon Forest.

Zhi Long and Shi Liang were climbing upwards with great difficulty, due to the sudden climate change so they slowed down.

"Gerr.... Why is it so cold in here, Dad?". Ask Zhi Long.

"Maybe we're almost at the top of Mount Tinghua, so climate change is natural. You see, in the mountain is also cold especially at the top". Shi Liang replied with anticipation.

They continued to walk uphill, until they saw something that made their hair stand up in surprise.

They looked at the cold, fierce head of the Snow Ape on the top peak of Tinghua Mountain, even though they were still far from the top.

It was imagined when they approached, how big and high the Snow Ape was.

They finally reached the top, they saw something with a sigh of silence and countless goosebumps.

"Would we just run, Shi Liang? The devil seems to have unlimited power". Zhi Long asked with trembling.

"B.b.well, let's just run away, I can also feel a powerful aura invisible from here". Shi Liang replied in a gagu tone.

They turned around intending to run away, running as fast as he could. But before they stepped up and fled, the Snow Ape spoke.

"Where are you going? Don't you guys want to stop by first?". The Snow Ape asked with a funny expression on his face, seeing the two boys with 14 years of age willing to escape from the sight of his eyes.

Rebellious Zhi Long and Shi Liang shuddered in horror, they could not step forward as the Snow Ape let out a terrifying aura hitting the bodies of the two of them.

They could not do anything and just said, "Snow Monkey Master, we are just a fly in your eyes and our flesh is too small for you. Let us go, sir..". Zhi Long said in a soft and slick tone.

"Aren't you aware of the legacy of one of the Emperors who ruled the world behind me?". Snow Ape held back his laughter as he looked at Zhi Long and Shi Liang in fear.

Zhi Long and Shi Liang turned to face the Snow Ape, "Master, we don't know what this Tinghua Mountain is about, sir, even we do not know if there is a relic from one of the Emperors first. We just play here and explore the mountain, while practicing ourselves". Javan Zhi Long with confidence.

"You came here just to train yourself? Without you realizing that fate has answered all of them now!". The Snow Ape's reply confused the two of them.

"Snow Monkey Master, what do you mean? I don't understand at all". Zhi Long did not understand the words the Snow Ape said.

"Let's see you two, I want to see your Soul Qi". The Snow Ape summoned Zhi Long and Shi Liang with a swing of a hand, signaling the two of them were on call.

Zhi Long and the callable Shi Liang finally drew closer to the 10-meter-high Snow Ape and nearly reached that Sky, they saw the Snow Ape standing tall and large grasping a glowing golden staff.

"Show your Soul Qi is both whole". The two of them who were already close in front of the Snow Ape were told to bring out their Soul Qi entirely.

"All right..". Answer them both.

Shi Liang let out a terrifying aura from him, it was a sinister True Devil figure enveloping his body completely.

He became the maximal version of True Immortal Demon mode, he was invincible. A pitch-black aura and maximum deep power were unleashed, his eyes turning completely red.

Seen as a thick Black Armor like a hard Iron Metal all over his body, he who had been in the Middle Level 2 Plane was like ascending to the level of a Level 3 Middle Plane.

He unleashed all his maximum strength.

On the other hand, Zhi Long also unleashed his maximum strength. There were two large circles behind the top of his head, the Moon and the Sun were half-perfect.

The sun gave off a Fire whose heat was almost close to the original scorching sun in the real world, it was extremely hot.

The moon also gives off a cold side that is very cruel piercing a person's heart if he is around, the moon symbolizes pure wind and water.

Iron Pillar 1 meter wide and 3 meters long is removed, it symbolizes the Metal element that is very thick will be full defense.

Not until there, if Shi Liang gave off a frightening aura, then Zhi Long gave off an extremely hot, cold and powerful aura. It was like he had become strong directly, he was like leveling up what was once a Tier 1 Middle Airplane into a Tier 2 Middle Airplane. Just as Shi Liang upgraded his Plane automatically after he changed shape, Zhi Long too.

Zhi Long looks like a very hot Fire God, he is also dominated by the elements of wind, water and metal. So you can imagine the maximum power that surrounds it, what an amazing scene.

Shi Liang as well, if Zhi Long was like a hot Fire God, Shi Liang was like a Demon God staring at his enemy bullyingly.

Finished they changed shape, the Snow Ape looked at Zhi Long suspiciously and said.

"Is that just your Soul Qi, young man?". Asked the Snow Ape to Zhi Long with a cheated look.

Zhi Long looked at him in confusion, Damn it! Why would he know that I have another Soul Qi?'. Benak Zhi Long.

Zhi Long immediately stared, he did not understand why the big Ape before him could hear his heart.

But if you see Zhi Long who was thinking in his mind, Snow Ape can see from the look on Zhi Long's shocked face.

"Alright, I'll take it out".

Zhi Long closed his eyes and summoned his remaining Soul Qi, which was his Earth and Sky Soul Qi.

It felt as if the Earth around him was shaking violently and the once calm sky was like letting out a sharp thunder of lightning.

Behind the top of Zhi Long's head came out two more Soul Qi which was none other than a circle resembling Earth with a green color above which there was a Sky with blackened clouds, it was like it was going to rain a storm and a big flash.

Sure enough, simultaneously the real world was like the rumbling of lightning and the earth was shaking violently, it was only around Kongzu City alone.

Kongzu City itself is a small island that belongs to Emperor Fang's territory, so automatically Kongzu City is only limited to the Island surrounded by a vast Ocean.

Emperor Fang was living in the Royal Capital of Jing, the Jing Kingdom was located in the Northern Former Region Area, so it was very vast this Earth.

Back to the story.

As the Earth shook and the Sky roared, the oceans in the region became extremely aggressive. They seem ready to make a big tsunami, accompanied by earthquakes and powerful lightning.

The Zhi Long who was in that mode, breaking through the three tiers that were once on the Tier 2 Middle Plane was now on the Tier 5 Middle Plane, was truly frightening that natural phenomenon.

Shi Liang who daritadi saw Zhi Long, could only dumbly look at him while gaping in shock.

The Snow Ape who had told Zhi Long to bring out all his maximum strength finally opened his voice, "It's quite young, you're too dangerous!". Snow Ape already understood the strength of that handsome-looking young man before him.

Even Zhi Long had yet to take it all out, "Alright I will draw my Earth and Sky Soul Qi back". With that, his Earth and Sky Soul Qi vanished in the air.

The natural phenomenon gradually disappeared and he opened his eyes, now he also knew his maximum strength.

Originally Zhi Long had only guessed that if his strength was fully expended, would there be a disaster?.

It turned out to be true of his conjecture, even that was outside of his mind. The calamity was too great, even he was like the God of the entire Universe.

So the point was, Zhi Long was also shocked by this.

Zhi Long returned to his Level 2 Middle Plane earlier, leaving only the Sun and Moon hanging above the back of his head, as well as his Tomorrow Pillar hanging there as well.

"Are you shocked by your own full strength, young man?" Asked the Snow Ape with a friendly smile.

"Yes, I was very surprised. At first I didn't think there would be such a big disaster, but what happened was beyond reason". Zhi Long replied with a face that was still confused and shocked.

"I thought you were the one in destiny!". Snow Ape said by making a statement that made people curious.

"What do you mean, I'm a person of destiny, right?". Zhi Long asked curiously.

"You'll know in time, now you're gonna lose all your strength". Answer the Snow Ape.

Zhi Long and Shi Liang relaxed his strength and removed all auras as well as obliterating his Soul Qi, they returned to their normal state.

"What's the name of you two?". Ask Snow Ape.

"My name is Zhi Long, this is my best friend Shi Liang". Zhi Long replied as he introduced himself and Shi Liang to the Snow Ape before him.

"Then you come with me, let your best friend cultivate alone here with the others". Said the Snow Ape by pointing towards Zhi Long.

Zhi Long was confused as to why he should follow her, rather than Shi Liang.

"What should I do, sir?". Zhi Long asked the Snow Ape.

"Have come with me, and call me Senior not Master".

"Good senior". Zhi Long bowed respectfully to his senior.

The curious Zhi Long finally wanted to go with Senior the Snow Ape, and they moved away to the top of Tinghua Mountain Peak again.

Seen a cave above which there is a statue of a human, the statue is like a God who rules the entire earth with his grasp.

Well who else if not Divine Emperor Zhi Qiang, that was his statue. The statue looks solid and strong like a statue that is sold expensively out there, in the statue the Emperor is standing upright with a stick in his hand that is very authoritative and majestic.

If seen physically, the stick held by him was like Senior Snow Ape in front of him.

The wand was indeed like emitting an authoritative aura like a High Level Weapon that World Sovereigns always carried, it was the Divine Emperor's Scepter.

It is told that Divine Emperor Zhi Qiang possessed a god-level weapon, the Scepter of the Sakti, said the teacher from Xinghou College who taught all his students about history.

That history will never be forgotten by all beings on Earth or in Heaven, as well as Zhi Long he always remembers all the teachings of his teacher.

"Why are you looking at this stick in my hand?". The Snow Ape Senior asked as he looked at the bewildered Zhi Long staring into his staff.

"Senior, is that the Divine Emperor's Scepter?". Zhi Long asked curiously.

"Oh you know a lot of things well, about this stick?". Senior Snow Ape's reply left Zhi Long unable to say a word, he only fell silent in shock staring at that Golden Stick before him.

"True son, what you saw was the Scepter of the Divine Emperor Zhi Qiang. The Emperor has left his wand to me, to hand it over to the successor". Senior Snow Ape stared at the Stick in his hand.

"The Successor? Who is that successor?". Zhi Long asked curiously.

"You'll find out after you get into that cave, let's go in". Senior Snow Ape replied with his friendly smile.

"alright".

They both entered the dark and cold cave.
