Chapter 557: Seven Stars Embracing the Moon Flower

The golden beast trembled all over, its gleaming eyes fixed on the monkey wine. No one knew how many drops were stored there, truly terrifying.

"We've hit the jackpot..." the other alien species couldn't help saying, saliva filling its mouth, nearly drooling.

"Get lost!" At that moment, a voice like a divine sound descending from beyond the realm suddenly exploded, echoing through heaven and earth, chilling the soul.

The cave dwelling that Yang Tian and the others were watching shook violently. From within the entrance surged overwhelming waves, as if a divine king was awakening. Dazzling golden light burst forth, illuminating heaven and earth.

The great shout shook the sky. The golden beast's body stiffened for a moment, a hint of surprise appearing in its eyes.

It was a monkey ten feet tall, its whole body radiating terrifying fluctuations. Its eyes blazed with golden light, like two divine lamps, seemingly able to see through falsehood, chilling to the bone.

This monkey was extremely fearsome. The golden staff in its hand emitted boundless divine light. As it trembled, heaven and earth shook. The monkey possessed divine strength, sweeping directly at the two of them.

"Kill!" The two alien species joined forces, fearless. Two great artifacts manifested in the void, shaking off the golden staff. The colossal artifacts revolved in the void, intending to slay the monkey.

"You seek death!" The monkey roared, its voice like thunder. Heaven and earth rumbled, and countless golden staff shadows struck down from the sky, causing the entire world to tremble.

Boom! The earth cracked. A trace of shock appeared in the golden beast's eyes. This monkey was extremely powerful; though all were at the peak of great power, none could match it in single combat.

The great battle erupted. Outside, a group of small monkeys were intercepted by other creatures, while the internal battle grew fiercer. The celestial wolf had its eyes on the peaches.

At this moment, Yang Tian and the others stared at the radiant monkey wine, unable to resist swallowing saliva. This monkey wine was too tempting.

"What do we do? This monkey probably won't leave even half a step." Yang Tian scratched his head and frowned. "If we make a move, we'll likely be discovered by this monkey, and it'll be hard to escape."

"Hmm, actually, I think we should first check out the monkey's cave dwelling. I reckon there are plenty of good things inside." At this, Fatty, with a solemn expression and righteous demeanor, slowly spoke.

"Right, why didn't I think of that!" Hearing this, Yang Tian was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead, full of annoyance.

"The monkey king probably drinks a lot of this monkey wine. There should be plenty in the cave dwelling." Xiao Ji blinked and chuckled.

"Good idea... good idea..." Xiao Bai squinted happily and couldn't help patting Fatty on the shoulder.

"Let's go..." Xiao Ji urged the Taixu Jun forward, moving horizontally toward the monkey king's cave dwelling. Their movements were very slow, without a trace of fluctuation.

The entire canyon was engulfed in a terrible battle—fierce waves splitting the sky, rubble scattering clouds. These creatures had no idea that someone had slipped into their cave dwelling.

Inside the cave dwelling, it was pitch black. They were very cautious. Fatty sat in the Taixu Jun, his brow suddenly splitting open, revealing terrifying starlight beams accompanied by rumbling divine sounds.

The Star Divine Eye glowed, emitting boundless divine radiance. Just as Fatty was shaking his head, Xiao Bai looked at him with disdain and let out a strange laugh.

"Uh..." Fatty, who was about to cast a spell, watched Xiao Bai walk straight in, his mouth gaping, feeling faint.

"Alas..." Yang Tian sighed, shrugged, patted Fatty on the shoulder, restrained his aura, and walked inside.

"Fatty, learn from this..." Xiao Ji curled his lips, chuckled, and slipped in with a whoosh.

"Hey, wait for me!" Fatty, indignant and frustrated, hurriedly followed, afraid that if he was too slow, he'd miss out on the loot.

The cave dwelling was dark. Xiao Bai poked his head in and walked around. When he touched a stone door, he squinted, his little nose twitching, looking eager.

"There's something inside." Seeing this, Yang Tian's face lit up with joy. He pushed hard with his palm, slowly sliding the stone door open.

Compared to the thunderous sounds outside, this movement was like an ant crawling.

With a whoosh, Xiao Bai revealed his true form, shrinking to a tiny size. His whole body was covered in lustrous white fur, the golden line on his forehead radiating divine light, a dazzling sight.

Xiao Bai had two pure white wings on his back, gently fluttering. He opened his big black eyes and walked inside.

"This is..." Fatty and Xiao Ji looked at Xiao Bai's true form, their eyes showing uncertainty, especially the two small wings on his back, which drew attention.

Xiao Bai slipped through the crack in the door, sneaking in. Before he could look around, a small red monkey came bouncing over.

"Ah..." Looking at the little red monkey about his size, Xiao Bai's eyes widened like a curious baby.

"Wuwu..." The little monkey with red fur scratched its ears and cheeks, hopping around. Its red eyes looked at Xiao Bai with a hint of fear, not daring to approach him.

"Don't go in yet." Seeing a mischievous monkey, Yang Tian waved his hand and peered through the crack. This should be the monkey king's offspring, but something was different.

"The monkey king's offspring—this is a rare ancient creature!" Fatty's eyes burned. Though it was a young alien species, its potential was immense, worth cultivating.

Xiao Bai blinked his big eyes, sensing that the little monkey was very afraid of him, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come here!" Xiao Bai, like a king, flapped his wings, opened his mouth, and sucked, sending the little monkey tumbling.

Xiao Bai moved very quickly, immediately pinning the little monkey down. The red little monkey lay limp, terrified of Xiao Bai's aura, trembling all over.

"Little monkey, if you don't behave, I'll stew you!" Xiao Bai said fiercely, looking menacing.

"Wuwu..." The little monkey looked extremely aggrieved. Its body was tiny, lying limp on the ground, making strange noises as if submitting.

Xiao Bai squinted his big eyes, lifted the little monkey by its sleeve, and looked around the cave dwelling. It was a thousand-zhang-sized cave, bright inside.

The cave dwelling was a world within a world. Around it were stone doors: a scripture library, a pill chamber, and a treasure vault. They exuded an ancient aura, sealed for who knows how many years.

"Truly a world within a world..." Yang Tian clicked his tongue. There were probably plenty of good things inside.

"I reckon this should be the monkey clan's treasure vault." Fatty's eyes burned as he looked around. When he noticed a medicinal field, his gaze froze.

There were only five rare herbs inside, emitting life essence, streaks of auspicious light, and vigorous medicinal power. These five herbs were extraordinary, with terrifying ages.

The central herb was radiant with starlight, dotted with starlight beams, like a herb born in a starry domain. Each leaf shone like a starry domain, astonishing.

"Seven Stars Embracing the Moon Flower!" Seeing this herb, Yang Tian's pupils dilated instantly, a burning heat surging within him as he blurted out.

"Really, it's almost mature!" Xiao Ji couldn't help exclaiming. Seven leaves mature, manifesting the Embracing the Moon phenomenon—that was when the Seven Stars Embracing the Moon Flower reached completion.

This herb was a rare seventh-grade herb, requiring stellar divine power to grow. Each leaf took two thousand years to grow; the herb's age was astonishing.

Yang Tian couldn't help licking his dry lips. This herb would greatly benefit him. If the Star Diagram refined it, all seven great stars would surge to a higher level, possibly surpassing the strength of Yu Yao's Star Diagram.

"Didn't expect such a good thing." Rubbing his nose, Yang Tian kicked Xiao Bai's body, signaling him to start.

"There's a formation. If we break it, it'll surely alert the monkey king..." Fatty scratched his messy hair, feeling conflicted.

Xiao Bai carried the little monkey, wiped the drool from his mouth, walked beside the formation, opened his mouth, and spat.

This action startled Fatty, who nearly turned and ran. If they alerted the monkey king, they'd be in for trouble.

A mouthful of milky white mist, radiant and rising, interwove with the formation. Under Fatty's stunned gaze, layers of奇妙 patterns quickly spread into the formation, like a formation-breaking bead, but without any commotion.
