Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 448 - 212: My Desire to Save the World, Grand Wedding
[Comprehending Nature’s Essence, Capturing the Supernatural Opportunity for the Beggar’s Occupation]
[Beggar Occupation Expected to be Extraordinary]
In the distance, someone spotted a small boat on the river. A group of men and women were somewhat astonished; the boat seemed so tiny, as if it could sink at any moment.
This group, accompanied by guards, appeared wealthy or noble from their attire.
Among them, a young man looked at the people on the boat with a smile and said, "A man and a woman, it seems like they are about to elope."
"The word ’love’ wounds too deeply."
"Brother Chen, be careful with your words!" A young man beside him frowned and spoke up, not liking the loose-tongued noble son before him.
’Brother Chen’ smiled at him, "What? Does Brother Shen have a different opinion? In this cold weather, going to the heart of the river for no reason—if not to elope, then to have a clandestine meeting. Do you think I’m wrong?"
"Now that the world has just emerged from chaos, many masters have retreated, but should someone return, mocking so frivolously might bring disaster."
"Shen Lang, you’re truly timid, no wonder you can’t compete with your unworthy brother. Just talking in passing, if even this brings disaster, might as well stay home."
The beautiful young lady beside them spoke up.
"You all..."
Shen Lang frowned deeply, turning back towards the heart of the river.
He saw that the small cabin boat was utterly empty, not a soul in sight.
His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned again, only to see a man standing on the surface of the lake, not far from the group.
That man wasn’t tall, yet exuded an indescribable invisible pressure, like a tidal wave, it was suffocating.
"Watch out!"
Shen Lang felt the man looked familiar but couldn’t recall, however, he shouted to the group regardless.
Young Master Chen, with his back to the lake, quickly turned to look upon hearing this.
He saw Xu Guang raising his hand with a cold expression.
The guards finally reacted, being caught by surprise, they rushed out, drawing their swords, intending to charge at Xu Guang.
Suddenly, the world went silent.
Shen Lang finally remembered who stood before him.
"Sect Leader Xu, please show mercy. I am Shen Lang of the Shen family from Songjiang Prefecture..."
"Shen family?" Xu Guang’s expression shifted slightly, "I will give you face today."
Poof!
An invisible Qi Force burst from his fingertip, and Young Master Chen screamed miserably, falling backward.
The crowd realized they had kicked an iron plate. Little did they expect that their voices could be heard from so far on the small cabin boat; this level of skill...
Shen Lang had just mentioned Sect Leader Xu, who is the renowned Sect Leader Xu in the world?
Being from Zouchuan Dao, they couldn’t possibly be unaware; by now, they were already pale-faced.
Xu Guang silently watched them, not pursuing the matter further. In the past, he had some interactions with Song Di of the Shen family from Songjiang Prefecture. Although he disliked his personality, he had to admit that part of his success today was due to Song Di.
Taking Jiang Zi Yun with him, they stepped across the water like it was solid ground, swiftly returning to the small cabin boat.
The small cabin boat drifted away slowly, gradually flowing along the lake.
Unbeknownst to him, he had become a revered figure in others’ eyes.
...
"How is it?"
Jiang Zi Yun’s eyes burned as she looked at Xu Guang, not giving the previous episode much thought.
This time, aside from enjoying the sights, they were also looking to help Xu Guang find an opportunity to break through to the Third Grade.
Now it seemed Xu Guang had some gains.
Xu Guang tapped her nose and smiled, "It’s not that easy, but indeed, I found a clearer path."
Jiang Zi Yun did not ask further.
In Martial Dao, knowing more is not always better, especially concerning high realms; the more one knows, the more easily weary they become.
A few more days passed.
The two left the small boat to rest at a tea house.
The barbarians had retreated, at least not daring to recklessly act within Zouchuan Dao’s territory; now everything in Zouchuan Dao was bustling once more.
Everything was flourishing.
Xu Guang’s eyes carried a hint of sentiment; most people only knew of the barbarians’ crisis, unaware that the true menace lay in the ancient gods after the barbarians.
But even without the ancient gods, would this world truly find peace?
Along the journey, wars and slaughters, endless cycles, intertwined causes and effects, who could determine who was good and who was evil?
Upon landing, the two decided to take a carriage directly back to Dragon Gate.
"When the time comes after we marry, shall we go to Hai Province?"
Xu Guang spoke up.
Jiang Zi Yun was briefly stunned, but didn’t question further, simply nodding gently. "Okay."
With their planned wedding day drawing near, they truly began their return journey.
This trip had taken over a month.
In terms of experience, this trip was somewhat lacking, at least half as much as staying in Dragon Gate, but in terms of cultivation, Xu Guang felt it was entirely worth it.
Since he began practicing martial arts, it was through sweat and hard work, with the Golden Finger providing a stable path for advancement. Strictly speaking, advancing to this stage in just a few years, his mindset struggled to keep up. Over the past month, he emptied his thoughts, organizing his entire martial journey, summarizing and innovating.
The Five Emperors Heavenly Gate Tribulation Technique, along with his mindset and revised understanding of Martial Dao, appeared capable of further development.
His Golden Finger did not break limits without reason, much like his Martial Technique and True Skill advancement relied on entering the dream; the professional panel offered only explosive enlightenment after entering the dream.
In essence, the origin was himself; the panel and Golden Finger were merely tools.
