Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 497 - 228: The Journey to Breaking Through Second Grade (Part 2)
His purpose in coming here was for Cultivation.
The squeezing and twisting forces between the Spiritual Essence Light Groups even made Xu Guang feel as though his Divine Soul was being pulled, with bursts of eerie laughter echoing as if coming from an illusion, causing various fears to arise in his heart.
Xu Guang’s face remained calm, feeling the tug on his Divine Soul, believing he should be able to endure for a while.
"Ah Wei, maximum power, start absorbing."
General Wei growled.
In the Fourth Sea, there’s no need to search for large Spiritual Essence Light Groups; even the smallest ones here are sufficient for Xu Guang and General Wei to absorb for quite some time.
The two of them don’t have much time to waste on searching for Spiritual Essence Light Groups.
Just as they had absorbed seven Spiritual Essence Light Groups and planned to absorb the eighth one.
Suddenly, a purple shadow flashed out from the targeted Spiritual Essence Light Group, small in stature, about thirty to forty centimeters, but its appearance was terrifying, resembling a four-armed demon with a blue face and sharp teeth, fiercely charging towards Xu Guang’s face.
Xu Guang reacted swiftly, with countless sword glows suddenly appearing on his body, not stirring up any waves in the Fourth Sea, slashing at the four-armed demon.
Clang!
A sound akin to metal clashing echoed, and the four-armed demon’s figure merely staggered slightly.
Xu Guang’s expression slightly changed, this monster...
Blood rain drizzled, swayed by the tides of the Fourth Sea.
The four-armed demon suddenly stopped, lingering in the blood rain as if reminiscing something.
This seems... not a Void Beast?
But an old monster left with only a Divine Soul?
Xu Guang’s mind flashed a thought but crazily retreated with General Wei’s Divine Soul.
This thing was clearly not something he could handle; why stay if he didn’t leave?
The four-armed demon did not pursue, only gazing at Xu Guang’s chaotic retreating figure with an eerie look, licking its lips with a thin, long purple-red tongue.
Returning to the present world.
Xu Guang’s face still held some unsettled expression.
The oddities within the Void Realm were truly numerous.
It’s frustrating to cultivate without a stable environment.
...
"Prince, I’ve gathered information; the people from Li Taizhou are not considered strong, the strongest person is someone named Zhuge Wuliang, proclaimed as Li Taizhou’s top expert, seemingly having a First Grade Cultivation, and crucially, he practices the Five Elements Technique."
Li Chen was surprised.
"I didn’t expect a place like Li Taizhou to actually have a genius, the Five Elements Technique, reaching First Grade within a century, it’s remarkable, truly remarkable..."
His tone carried a touch of admiration, but upon thinking of Gu Shuo’s different view on the people from Li Taizhou, he became quite displeased.
"Cultivating all five elements signifies this person can easily achieve a breakthrough, it’s nothing much, I possess the royal Secret Technique, he must fear me by three points."
Li Chen spoke confidently.
"However, this person is indeed a nuisance, try to find some people to deal with him when he goes out."
"Yes!"
Attendant Zhao Erhu promptly responded.
But he was somewhat vexed that everyone from Li Taizhou acted like turtles hiding in their shells, appearing like rustic boors who’ve never seen the world, and rarely stepped out of their cabins, he needed to devise a way to coax them out first.
Leaving Li Chen’s room, he suddenly realized.
He seemed to have focused too much on Zhuge Wuliang and forgot to mention another person named Xu Guang.
A Third Grade peak expert under the age of thirty, who, like Zhuge Wuliang, also practices all five elements.
’It should be fine, Xu Guang is only Third Grade, young with little experience, breaking through to Second Grade is still difficult, he shouldn’t pose a threat to the Prince.’
He didn’t feel like approaching Li Chen; ever since being admonished by Gu Shuo last time, Li Chen had become somewhat gloomy, he feared angering him.
...
Xu Guang looked with surprise at the Gu Shuo standing outside the door.
"Ancient Angel?"
He didn’t expect Gu Shuo would seek him out.
Beside Gu Shuo, a young Dao boy stood quietly watching Xu Guang, suddenly speaking.
"In one of the Ghostly Lands of Li Taizhou, there is a blue strange mountain, are you familiar with this?"
Xu Guang was taken aback, not expecting Gu Shuo’s query to be such a matter.
He was at a loss how to answer momentarily.
Although he suspected Gu Shuo might be a descendant of Gu Jiyun, he knew nothing about Gu Shuo, and if he mentioned the matters about Lanshan and the other grew malicious intent...
On this building ship, no one would be able to save him.
"Is the Ancient Angel referring to the blue mountain in the Zouchuan Dao’s Wangdang Mountain Ghostly Land of Li Taizhou? Xu Mou was formerly from Zouchuan Dao, has some understanding of Lanshan, even nearly entered it, but unfortunately a mad Qi Refiner expert guards it, and Li Taizhou’s Barbarians who worship the Ancient God went up the mountain, ultimately being repelled by that mad expert..."
Xu Guang recounted his first encounter with Lanshan, his face composed.
He didn’t mention he had ever been to Lanshan. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Gu Shuo studied Xu Guang for a long time, suddenly smiling.
Having traveled across Hongze’s dozens of provinces, he had his insights on human nature, sensing clearly that Xu Guang had concealed something.
But it was understandable, indicating the person was just cautious.
"Everyone claims you obtained an extraordinary opportunity on Lanshan, allowing you to stand out in a short time."
"This is utter nonsense..."
Gu Shuo looked at him with a vague smile before solemnly saying, "With your talent, joining the Northern Pole Six Institutes shouldn’t be hard, if you can get in, I shall offer you an opportunity in exchange for your information, otherwise..."
Gu Shuo didn’t continue speaking.
If Xu Guang indeed acquired the opportunity on Lanshan, joining the Northern Pole Six Institutes wouldn’t be difficult.
