"That day, it took dozens of people to carry him; the whole town knew about it," the policeman added.
"Um, um, I think so! Maybe I forgot, I'll be going now!" Liu Aiguo immediately turned and left.
"Damn it, what do we do now? We can't buy back the gorilla, and the stone sculpture is gone too," Wang Li lamented.
In the afternoon, I met up with my junior colleague who had failed to report the incident to the police, and we saw gorillas at the zoo.
Wow, he's really become a big star! He's even learned to juggle! The audience can't stop throwing all sorts of fruit at the gorilla.
Lin Xing, the gorilla, thought life in the zoo was wonderful, whereas he used to live a miserable life in the mountains.
It ate its last meal without squatting down, but it seems to have forgotten everything except that its name is Lin Xing and that it used to live in the mountains.
But it didn't want to anymore. It was so comfortable here, with good food and drink every day, and humans brushing its fur and giving it baths.
Wang Li and all the disciples of Cat Mountain returned to the mountain. They needed to cultivate diligently to prevent any major incidents from happening in the future.
Just in case, I have to go check on the gorilla every week.
As for the stone carving, I don't care. Anyway, it's hard to say whether I'll still be alive in a few decades.
The seal has been broken, and we're not staying here anymore. At least we'll have time to escape then.
On the second day, the sect leader Wang Li also cultivated spiritual power, and on the third day, Li Mu also cultivated it.
In the following two years, the four young Taoist disciples also successfully cultivated spiritual power.
Meanwhile, supernatural phenomena have gradually appeared around the world.
Because of this, Cat Mountain no longer goes hungry, and now there are plenty of people asking them to perform rituals to exorcise ghosts.
Originally, the incense offerings in Cat Mountain were almost dying out, but now there are dozens of people in the entire Cat Mountain.
Time flies, thirty years have passed, and it's now 2012.
At nine o'clock in the morning, in Shashi, on the Xiangjiang River, a stone sculpture sank to the bottom of the river, covered with thick, sticky silt.
The stone carving, which originally had no cracks at all, now has a tiny crack.
And it began to shimmer with dazzling light, breaking through the blockage of the silt and penetrating the river water.
Instantly, a dazzling light filled a range of dozens of meters in the river, outshining even the sun.
This immediately attracted the attention of the people on the shore, and a large crowd quickly gathered there.
Some boats sailed directly to the source of the light, but they only knew that it came from the bottom of the lake and did not discover anything else.
The light disappeared shortly afterward, and nothing was discovered. The crowd then gradually dispersed.
If people from the Spirit Realm were here, they would surely find that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is more than ten times denser.
Cat Mountain,
Just as the stone carving began to crack, Wang Li, the previous leader of the Cat Mountain Sect, sensed something, and after a quick calculation, his expression changed drastically.
Then, in a panic, all of Cat Mountain's disciples within the third generation convened a meeting to discuss the life and death of Cat Mountain.
"Master, is there something you need from us?" Wang Yong, the current head of the Cat Mountain Sect, asked respectfully.
"Senior brother, could it be?" Li Mu had already guessed.
"Yes, that's right, it's the serpent sculpture that I sold thirty-two years ago."
"I've done the calculations, and we should be able to break free in the next few days," Wang Li said with a solemn expression.
"Ah! Elder, are you talking about that thousand-year-old demon recorded in the ancient texts?" a third-generation disciple asked.
“Master, what are you afraid of? Right now, we have hundreds of disciples on Cat Mountain.”
"Even at the peak of Foundation Establishment, there is a master and two senior uncles, plus me and five junior brothers, making a total of nine."
"There are still more than a dozen Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. Are we afraid of a mere python demon?"
“A hundred years ago, more than a dozen Foundation Establishment stage masters were able to seal it.”
“We outnumber them, and we also have firearms,” Wang Yong said.
"What you're saying is true, but you should know that it can directly transform into a dragon."
"Failure is fine, but if it succeeds, even if the entire Spirit Illusion Realm were to unite, we still wouldn't be able to defeat it!"
"Unless you get the government to use heavy weapons to kill the dragon directly," Wang Li stroked his long beard.
"In that case, why not inform the government first, and then let them take action if we fail?"
"Furthermore, we can ask our fellow practitioners in the spirit world to slay a thousand-year-old demon."
"Just say that its demon core and snake gall can enable us to enter the Golden Core Path," said the Third Elder, Li Mu.
“Okay! Let’s do it this way. Wang Yong, go call them and tell them we’ll pack our gear and head to Shashi immediately,” Wang Li said.
Chapter Sixty-One: Breaking the Seal
P.S.: Thank you to Jiying for the 100 book coins, and thank you everyone for your recommendation votes!
Several hours after the light disappeared, Lin Qing woke up, feeling as if he had slept for a very, very long time.
"Hmm, where am I? It's so dark. Hmm? Why can't I move?" Lin Qing tried.
"Oh right, I think I was sealed away by Uncle Nine and the others." Lin Qing remembered.
"System, what's wrong with me?" Lin Qing tried to release his mental energy, but it had no effect.
"Host, you are currently in a sealed state, but you will be able to break free in about a day."
"I have to wait another day? I don't want to stay here for another second," Lin Qing complained.
"The host can choose to advance directly, and then he will regain all his abilities and be able to break free from this seal immediately."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing immediately perked up and opened the attribute panel, which he hadn't looked at in a long time and had forgotten.

Evolution Points: 1,255,881,000,000 (Up to 100,000, you can choose to advance)
"Huh? Why haven't my evolution points changed? Aren't I absorbing the essence of the sun and moon every day?"
"By the way, is the system now 200 years in the future?" Lin Qing suddenly remembered that he would be sealed for 200 years.
Who knows what Earth will be like in 200 years? What if the interstellar age arrives? It might just kick the bucket as soon as it goes out.
"Host, because you are sealed and cannot absorb any spiritual energy, your evolution points have not changed."
"Now it is a hundred years later, in 2012 AD. Because the spiritual energy has disappeared for several decades, the seal has become more damaged."
"Although spiritual energy has revived now, it can only seal you for this long."
"That's good, that's good." Lin Qing felt relieved.
"Holy crap, how did I grow to 100 meters? Before the seal, I was only 82 meters tall!" Lin Qing discovered something incredible.
"Host, the heavenly lightning that struck your body greatly enhanced your physique."
"What the hell? Do I have to thank Uncle Nine and the others?" Lin Qing thought to himself.
"Over the past hundred years, everyone from back then must have grown old and died! Damn it, who am I supposed to get revenge on?!" Lin Qing said helplessly.
"Killing everyone in Cat Mountain would be a form of revenge!" Lin Qing shook his head.
"System, advance me! I want to advance!"
"It requires 100,000 evolution points. Are you sure you want to advance?" A familiar voice asked.
"Sure."
"Advancing, please wait."
At the same time, a total of twenty Foundation Establishment stage disciples from Cat Mountain arrived in C City and soon reached the banks of the Xiang River.
Many powerful figures from the supernatural world have already arrived in the vicinity, and those who came from Cat Mountain are among the last to arrive.
Furthermore, the area has been cordoned off by the police, but many people are still watching from a distance.
Chinese people love to join in the fun. If you impose a lockdown, the public will feel there's something to see and will gather around.
The people from Cat Mountain had just arrived and were preparing to gather their fellow practitioners from the Spirit Realm to discuss how to slay demons and monsters when suddenly, the water surface began to surge.
Then, gradually, light began to emerge from the water again, and the sound of "crack! crack! crack!" could be heard.
Although the sound was not loud, it reached the ears of everyone within a kilometer radius.
"Oh no! The demons are about to break the seal!" Wang Li shouted.
Immediately, everyone in the Spirit Realm was on high alert. It wasn't that they didn't want to bring the stone sculpture up and set up hundreds of arrays.
The stone sculpture is at the bottom of the river, and we don't know its exact location. What can we do? We can only wait for it to appear on its own.
A moment later, a loud explosion was heard, and a vacuum zone was instantly created in the water, with the water surface flying dozens of meters high.
"Wow! What a loud explosion! Is someone blasting fish?" an older woman exclaimed.
"Really? Should we go collect the fish?" another middle-aged woman said.
