The road was lined with endless mountain ranges. Ah Bao looked around and said with a smile:
"The Tianyuan Dynasty occupies a continent, which is extremely rich in resources, especially minerals!"
The most famous is the amethyst mine!
Amethyst ore!
Upon hearing this, everyone showed surprise. The amethyst produced by the amethyst mine is a hundred times purer than the best-grade spirit stone.
A single amethyst stone is usually worth a thousand spirit stones, and even then, it's priceless.
Amethyst is a rare spirit stone even in the Middle World, but I never expected to find it in the Golden Cloud Continent.
However, considering that the Golden Cloud Continent originated from the Chaotic Demon Realm, the group was no longer surprised.
Ah Bao continued:
"The Tianyuan Dynasty has only one amethyst mine, which is owned by the first family, the Xuanyuan family."
Because the Xuanyuan family possessed unimaginably powerful figures, even the Tianyuan Dynasty's royal family dared not covet the amethyst mine!
Just then, a golden ape covered in blood appeared out of thin air in front of them, its panicked and terrified eyes indicating that it was fleeing from its pursuers.
As expected, three human cultivators rushed out of that space.
"Stop right there, you little beast!"
"Come back now, or I'll kill all your parents and relatives!"
"You dare to escape from my Xuanyuan family's mine? You're asking for trouble!"
"..."
Upon seeing the little golden ape, the Great Sage was stunned, and then his eyes welled up with tears.
He felt the same surge of blood.
The Great Sage grabbed the Golden Ape and shielded it behind him.
Seeing this, the three Nascent Soul stage human cultivators pointed at the Great Sage and rebuked him:
"Get out of here and mind your own business, or you'll all be done for here!"
"Can't you see we are retainers of the Xuanyuan family?"
A cultivator pointed to the Xuanyuan family emblem on his chest.
The Great Sage ignored him and turned to comfort the frightened little golden ape:
Why are they chasing you? Are all your people here?
Upon seeing the Great Sage, the little golden ape was surprisingly not afraid; he too felt the same surge of blood.
"You...you are the Ancestor?"
The little golden ape felt its bloodline surging wildly, a symptom that only occurred when it encountered its ancestor.
"Hey! I'm talking to you, get lost! Otherwise..."
With a loud bang!
With a single sweep of the Heavenly Golden Sword, the three of them instantly exploded.
The Great Sage held the little golden ape in his arms, his eyes misty with tears.
"I am the ancestor!"
"Waaah... Ancestor! I've finally found you!"
The little golden ape began to tell its story.
When they learned that the Great Sage had been suppressed by the Buddha, the Golden Ape Clan sought out the Great Sage's friend, the Bright Moon White Ox, hoping he would plead for mercy on behalf of the Buddha.
Who would have thought that when the White Ox learned that the Great Sage had been suppressed, it not only had no intention of saving its brother, but also seized the rich territory of the Golden Ape Clan.
They even captured the entire Golden Ape Clan and gave them to the Buddha.
Therefore, Haoyue Bainiu also attained the status of Haoxian Bodhisattva.
The Golden Ape Clan was suppressed by the Buddha and confined to the Golden Cloud Continent, where they were forced to mine for generations!
For 30,000 years, they have been very close to each other but have never known of each other's existence.
"Bright Moon and White Ox!"
Enraged, the Great Sage unleashed two beams of golden light from his eyes, shattering the spatial barrier before him.
The little golden ape immediately pointed at the barrier and said:
“Ancestor! Our clansmen are in that purple mine.”
There is a large purple mountain inside the barrier, which is easily identifiable among the other peaks.
Everyone immediately entered the barrier.
"Who dares to break the barrier and trespass on my Xuanyuan family's mine!"
At this moment, a towering, hundred-foot-tall raging demon bear blocked their path.
The next moment!
Po manifested his enormous form, which was hundreds of feet tall.
"roar!"
Without saying a word, Menglan immediately grabbed her sword and charged towards the raging demon bear.
At the same time, thousands of Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation Realm mine guards sensed the commotion and flew in from all directions.
Shangguan Hong, Xiao Yanran, and Yan Ruyu immediately drew their swords and charged forward.
The little white fox, the white qilin, and the adult qilin also used their supernatural powers to assist A Bao and the others.
At this moment, the Great Sage's face was cold and fierce. With a single blow, he turned everyone who blocked his way into a bloody mist.
Immediately, the Great Sage carried the little golden ape and rushed towards the Purple Gold Mine.
Ling Yun and Lin Moyu followed closely behind.
"How dare you! You're causing trouble at the Xuanyuan family's amethyst mine..."
Before a powerful cultivator at the Integration Realm could finish speaking, Ling Yun slapped him into ashes.
Then, the group arrived at the mine.
Tens of thousands of golden apes were seen with their legs bound by ancient cold iron, moving and mining purple gold ore.
They were all covered in old and new wounds.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
An old golden ape collapsed to the ground, where it was beaten until its skin was torn and bleeding by the supervising monks with barbed iron whips.
"Get up and stop pretending to be dead! If you don't get up in three breaths, we'll send you to eat monkey brains alive!"
However, the old golden ape was exhausted, and with old wounds not yet healed and new injuries piling up, he was on the verge of death.
The same scene unfolded in every corner of the mine; for 30,000 years, the golden ape had not had a moment's rest.
Seeing this, the Great Sage was enraged!
"Die!"
boom!
All the overseer monks were blown apart, their bodies and souls annihilated.
At the same time, all the golden apes stiffly turned to look at the Great Sage, their eyes first filled with confusion, then stunned, and finally they said in disbelief:
"You...you are the Ancestor?"
At this moment, the Great Sage could no longer suppress the tears in his eyes. Back then, the Golden Ape Clan had tens of millions of Golden Apes, but now there are only fifty thousand.
One can only imagine what they have experienced over the past 30,000 years.
"I am the ancestor, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry~"
The Great Sage was filled with remorse and felt deeply guilty. If it weren't for him, how could the Golden Ape Clan have fallen to such a state?
"Ancestor!"
All the golden apes wept with joy and rushed toward the Great Sage.
The chains on their feet pulled them down, but they continued to crawl forward.
Ling Yun waved his hand and shattered all the shackles on them.
"Ancestor! We've finally found you!"
"We're so glad you're alright, Ancestor! We really missed you!"
"Ancestor, we thought we'd never see you again in this lifetime!"
"..."
A group of golden apes surrounded the Great Sage, expressing their longing and grievances.
Ling Yun scanned his surroundings and saw a mountain of bones piled up in a dark place.
The corpses of the Golden Ape Clan were densely packed together.
They were all wearing shackles when they died.
Seeing this, Ling Yun felt a surge of anger. To not extend the harm to family members, Buddha was far too cruel.
Clearly, the Great Sage also saw the remains. The Vajra Bracelet emitted golden light, indicating that the Great Sage was extremely angry and that the rage within him was about to break free of its shackles.
Ye Yun quickly patted Da Sheng on the shoulder, telling him to calm down first.
Then, he looked at the old golden ape and asked:
"Is the Xuanyuan family related to the Bright Moon White Ox or to the Buddha?"
Upon hearing this, the old golden ape gritted his teeth and said:
"He is related to the Buddha. In his previous life, Jin Chanzi was a member of the Xuanyuan family."
Through this connection, the Xuanyuan family received the Buddha's protection. They were responsible for enslaving us.
As if realizing something, the old golden ape's anger turned into fear:
"I heard from the foreman that the Xuanyuan family is hiding an unimaginable existence, seemingly a powerful figure from the Golden Lion Clan!"
