Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 424 - 204: I Wish I Were One of the Five Divine Techniques or Martial Venerable!
To survive means that the cultivation was successful. If one owes another a favor, when the ability arises, this debt should be repaid.
If one dies, it doesn’t matter even more. While practitioners of the Five Divine Techniques might be rare, over the years, many have emerged across Hongze’s ten thousand states.
Perhaps...
Among those entering the Emperor Palace, besides the Array Breaking Martial Saint, all are Sacred Bodies of the Five Divine Techniques.
Understanding this clarified some of his discontent towards Gu Jiyun, but he still respectfully bowed in front of the bronze gate.
"Thank you, Emperor, for passing down the magic, and thank you, Senior."
Gu Jiyun did not respond.
Xu Guang didn’t mind.
Regardless of Gu Jiyun’s intentions, Xu Guang truly had to thank him. If it weren’t for him, Xu Guang might have had to enter the Qinghua Palace to obtain the Six Imperial Techniques. Not to mention whether he could enter, even if he did, he might not be able to come out.
He did not know what realm this Gu Jiyun belonged to.
Demon Hunter...
Currently, the only opportunity Xu Guang had to leave Hongze was to wait for a master among the Demon Hunters to lead him out.
He didn’t know Gu Jiyun’s status among the Demon Hunters.
Xu Guang no longer had the intention to explore Lanshan, despite knowing that there must be many treasures inside. Not to mention, Lanshan’s uniquely special environment might give birth to an unparalleled great medicine.
But he was not a greedy person. Life is more important than treasures, of course.
This time entering the Ten Thousand People Pit Ghostly Land was quite a windfall.
The experience accumulated at Dragon Gate was almost exhausted. Now that the martial artist has advanced and activated the divine techniques panel, it means his divine techniques can directly be upgraded with points, and he needs experience.
Just as he had left the Bronze Palace for quite some time, a roar came from afar in the sky.
Xu Guang was greatly shocked.
It was Chai Hui, the founder of the Langya Dynasty, the madman on Lanshan.
Looking towards the mountain, he saw waves of shadow soldiers already in a fierce battle with the madman.
Three Yin Soldiers Generals riding Bone Dragon War Chariots, wielding long spears, battled Chai Hui in the sky. The world trembled, mountains crumbled, and changes occurred throughout Lanshan.
The world changed colors, and the piercing killing intent intertwined in the air.
Suddenly, a demon emerged from the ground, attacking Chai Hui.
With a roar, Chai Hui wielded the heavenly ring of the Third Realm Qi Refiner’s Star Xuan, slicing the world apart.
Xu Guang watched in awe at this scene. This was a Third Realm Qi Refiner, a peerless fierce figure comparable to today’s Martial Arts First Grade. He truly couldn’t understand how this person went mad, but he seemed to be guarding Lanshan.
He dared not look too much, lest he be drawn into the battlefield.
Lanshan was surrounded by shadow soldiers, making it impossible to go down the mountain directly. Xu Guang chose to retreat and leave through the underground path, exiting from the Zhang Family Village Holy Land side.
Just as he found the entrance to the Holy Land path and had just entered, a demon with a lion’s head and human body, mane all over, its eyes flashing with a ferocious blood-red hue, charged straight at Xu Guang.
It crashed into Xu Guang with great force, as if cast from molten iron.
Bang!!
It collided with Ah Wei.
Without moving a hair, it emitted the sound of metal clashing.
Xu Guang’s Divine Thought sparked, sword qi like a rainbow, almost capable of cutting through anything with the boost of Extreme Soul.
In an instant.
The lion’s head fell to the ground.
General Teng picked up the fallen treasure, Xu Guang stood in place, his expression peculiar.
That suppressive qi force seemed to... disappear?
No.
It seemed ineffective against him.
Was this the power of the Extreme Soul?
Doubt flashed through Xu Guang’s mind.
He looked towards the tunnel, his eyes carrying a strange color, considering luring those he couldn’t provoke outside into here to kill them.
This tunnel appeared to have turned into a den for demons, or it could have been concealing many demons all along.
As shadow soldiers attacked the mountain, these demons emerged at the opportunity.
On the way down the mountain, the number of demons encountered was far more than expected.
Fortunately, this time Xu Guang’s qi force was no longer suppressed, allowing him to use various divine techniques of a martial artist.
An unknown demon emerged from the cave wall, its eyes cold as it gazed at Xu Guang in the distance, crystalline tears trickling from its mouth.
As if sensing something, Xu Guang abruptly turned around, spotting the demon’s massive body.
Before he could take action, the demon struck first, seemingly possessing Half-step Third Grade strength!
The stench of blood accompanied a violent wind.
Xu Guang’s Divine Thought flickered, stepping forward, releasing Extreme Soul.
The Red Lotus Karmic Fire instantly transformed into a sea of flames, turning the entire tunnel into a blood-red hue.
The demon shrieked amidst the sea of fire.
The already powerful Red Lotus Karmic Fire, boosted by Extreme Soul, became even more terrifying.
In just a moment.
The demon fell, reduced to ashes, leaving behind only a cicada shell.
It turned out to be a demon transformed from a cicada.
This time walking through the tunnel, there were more demons, but Xu Guang and General Wei dealt with them more calmly.
Xu Guang wasn’t certain of his current strength, but he was confident that given a bit more time, he could kill Fifth Grade practitioners as a Fourth-Grade.
The Extreme Soul is the ultimate weapon for slaughter in the Martial Dao, and it will continue to evolve, for which it needs the Celestial Register.
He already possesses many Celestial Registers, and as long as he continues refining, the specialization of the Extreme Soul can be continuously enhanced.
No demon truly reaching Third Grade has appeared, but Xu Guang discovered something.
This tunnel... seems to be constantly moving.
Finding an exit became exceedingly difficult; he got lost in the endless labyrinth of forks.
A full month went by.
It took Xu Guang that long to emerge from the tunnel, during which he thought about looking for Zhang Fan.
But...
He could only trust Zhang Fan’s luck.
He would have to fend for himself.
Feeling the flowing air, a hint of excitement rose in Xu Guang’s heart. After staying underground without seeing the light of day for so long, an ordinary person might have already broken down.
With Ah Wei accompanying him, it wasn’t quite so dull.
This was already the valley of the Zhang Family Village Holy Land, and looking up, he could see the dark red, gloomy sky of the Ghostly Land.
Xu Guang was so excited he wanted to howl at the sky.
He walked for another half day.
Outside the valley, the Barbarian’s horn flags were destroyed, the ground was dark red, with no bodies in sight, but in some places, there were clear drag marks.
A great battle had taken place here, likely between the Barbarians and another force.
The victor is unknown, the bodies dragged away by the Fierce Ghosts of the Ghostly Land.
He originally intended to take his revenge, but now it seems there’s no chance.
Xu Guang felt somewhat disappointed.
He wanted to visit Zhang Family Village to see if Zhang Fan had come out.
But he suddenly realized he hadn’t asked Zhang Fan for Zhang Family Village’s address.
After a moment of silence, he picked up a piece of green stone and left a message for Zhang Fan on it.
Hope to meet again if fate allows.
He believed Zhang Fan should still be alive.
He had no intention of staying in the Ghostly Land any longer and planned to bid farewell to Ah Wei and Old Elephant before returning to the Dragon Gate.
However, Old Elephant didn’t meet him; the old lady said that the Mountain God was going to sleep.
Xu Guang didn’t disturb and turned away to leave.
On the way back, he kept feeling as though he had overlooked something.
...
In a deserted area of the Ghostly Land.
Strange noises arose in waves.
A figure quickly drilled into the ground, covered in a messy, sticky substance, resembling some giant creature’s excrement.
Zhang Yunheng was smeared all over with General Wei’s feces, eyes wide open as he watched the changes around him.
His heart was furious.
He, a dignified Fourth-Grade expert, was now hiding from a group of little ghosts in General Wei’s leftover feces, using the residual scent in the feces to frighten off those Fierce Ghosts.
What a great humiliation!
Xu Guang!
He harbored a considerable grudge against Xu Guang.
The matters done by Fan Hui Xuan, why did he have to pay the price?
How long has it been, the day漏 has flipped over a hundred and thirty times, meaning nearly four months have passed.
Xu Guang hasn’t returned yet.
Is he dead?
He can’t be dead!
This Ghostly Land he newly discovered, the Taiyi Alliance has no knowledge of it, now sealed by Xu Guang’s five Qi Forces; he also couldn’t deploy too many methods, and even after four months, he still hadn’t broken through.
Humans are highly adaptable creatures and also quite fickle.
Zhang Yunheng initially had no regrets, but when chased by Fierce Ghosts, he developed resentment towards Xu Guang.
To survive, he dug open Ah Wei’s dung pit.
As time passed, he realized he didn’t hate Xu Guang as much, even hoping he could come back alive.
Ah, humans, willing to do anything to live.
Zhang Yunheng certainly didn’t know, Xu Guang had merely forgotten him.
If not...
Zhang Yunheng: Speak up for me!!
...
Fortunately, just before leaving the Ghostly Land, Xu Guang remembered Zhang Yunheng.
Ultimately, he didn’t let him die of old age in the Ghostly Land without anyone knowing.
Looking at the excrement-covered Zhang Yunheng, Xu Guang was at a loss for words.
Eventually, with a look of disdain, he released the restriction on Zhang Yunheng’s body.
"Brother Zhang, regarding Fan Hui Xuan’s matter, I hope your Taiyi Alliance can give an explanation to me."
Zhang Yunheng wore a wry smile, saying, "Definitely, definitely..."
