Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 305 - 164: Extraordinary Medium, Ancient God Blood, Divine Descent (Part 3)
"Ancient God Blood?" Xu Guang asked hurriedly, having heard of the Ancient God’s existence for the first time back in Lanshan.
Is the Ancient God related to the Barbarians?
"I don’t know what it is exactly. Rumor has it that the Ancient God left behind a drop of Ancient God Blood in the Barbarian King’s Department, but no barbarian has ever been able to look directly at it. The Ancient God Seed is said to be a monster created by the barbarians using the Ancient God Blood, but what exactly the Ancient God Blood is..."
Ji Yanran had a trace of apology on her face, "I am not sure."
Xu Guang pondered, suddenly feeling that since there was an extraordinary medium for martial artists to advance in Lanshan, perhaps this Ancient God Blood is also a kind of medium.
Without dwelling on the question further, he waved his hand to have a maid bring over a chessboard.
"Want to play a round?"
Ji Yanran’s eye twitched slightly.
The chess skills of the elder before her were rather poor...
However, since he had just shared some useful information with her, she couldn’t leave outright and steeled herself to play a game with Xu Guang.
Xu Guang wasn’t just fiddling around without purpose; he was looking for an opportunity to become a professional chess player.
These life professions that could be integrated into extraordinary professions were naturally beneficial, and besides signing in to receive experience and cultivating daily, he spent most of his time exploring new possible professions.
The chess player was the next profession he had selected after the brewer.
Two hours later, Ji Yanran left in haste, her face twitching.
This chess skill...
Was truly outrageous.
Once Ji Yanran had left, Xu Guang planned to release Liu Ruyan, as this lady from a noble family should excel in qin, qi, shu, and hua (music, chess, calligraphy, and painting).
She should be able to assist him in qualifying for these professions.
...
Night.
Red mist congealed into frost, obscuring the twinkling stars.
In the courtyard, Xu Guang held an erhu, while Liu Ruyan, resigned to her fate, held a flute, playing music together with Xu Guang.
Only, the way Xu Guang played the erhu was a little hard to watch.
"Elder, how about... you try another instrument?"
Xu Guang also felt that a soft instrument like the erhu did not suit him and thought a moment, "How about I play the big drum?"
Liu Ruyan: ...
"Whatever you prefer, Elder, I will definitely work with you."
Xu Guang nodded in satisfaction, "All right..."
Just as he was about to continue, a low growl came from outside.
Liu Ruyan’s expression instantly changed; she recognized it was the cry of the exotic demon beast that had previously attacked her.
Turning around, she saw Xu Guang standing before her with a smile that was not a smile.
"Today’s airing time is over."
"Elder..."
Bang!
Xu Guang clapped a hand onto Liu Ruyan’s shoulder, and she immediately softened like water, collapsing to the ground.
He placed Liu Ruyan into the iron box.
Xu Guang looked at General Wei.
Ah Wei’s ivory-born celestial register was glowing brightly, more dazzling and frequent than before. Was Hanshang performing a ritual sacrifice!?
Xu Guang was overjoyed, "Ah Wei, there’s work to do!"
...
In the Dark World.
Over two hundred people knelt at the edge of the village, the large offertory platform had already been moved to the village entrance, above it were piled countless fluorite and remnants of demons,
Hanshang stood at the forefront, kneeling respectfully.
"Great Compassionate Nine Heavens Divine Elephant Evil-slaying True Monarch above, there is a demon in South Mountain, taking human lives, devout follower Hanshang, along with two hundred humans, requests the True Monarch’s divine descent, to slay demons and eliminate evils."
The humans behind, following Hanshang’s words, repeated collectively,
Everyone voice loud, as if in this world of despair, the existence of the True Monarch was their only light.
The sound shook the Nine Heavens, and in the distance, South Mountain began to show signs of movement, as if the whole mountain was shaking.
"Saintess, the Mountain Demon is moving!"
Hanshang knelt before the book, unmoving.
She continued to pray in a low voice.
The movements in South Mountain became quicker, and ghostly shadows wrapped in black mist started emerging continuously with the mountain’s shuddering.
"It’s a Mountain Ghost! The Mountain Demon has summoned Mountain Ghosts."
"Saintess, let’s leave quickly, the True Monarch might not be home today, let’s come back tomorrow..."
"Yes, Saintess, Mountain Ghosts are coming, we must leave."
Hanshang ignored them, merely gazing silently at the distant South Mountain Demon, expression indifferent.
This South Mountain Demon, she initially didn’t wish to provoke so early, but since the Great Demon of South Mountain swept away three clansmen last time, the Mountain Demon has repeatedly sent ghost-like Mountain Ghosts to abduct four or five people continuously.
With only around two hundred people in the human race, the loss of nearly ten people could shaking the foundation.
The South Mountain Demon had to be eliminated!
She firmly believed that the True Monarch would hear her prayers, maybe...
The True Monarch... had already arrived.
"Please, True Monarch, descend!"
Countless baboon-like mandrills rushed madly from South Mountain, enveloped in thick Yin Qi that seemed to resurrect fierce ghosts.
In an instant, they surged forward hundreds of meters, ghostly images like smoke arose between heaven and earth.
As if sensing some threat, South Mountain began to move as well.
The three hundred meter mountain slowly rose, as if a seated person, standing up...
Instantly, humans grew more terrified, this is the true form of the Great Demon of South Mountain!
The human group watched Hanshang with urge to rush forward and pull Hanshang up.
Only...
The divine statue on the offertory platform, at this moment.
Emitted a magnificent light!
The True Monarch descends to the world!
