Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 498 - 228: Journey, Approaching Second Grade 3

If it fails, it means Xu Guang probably never went to Lanshan.

He doesn’t need to waste time on Xu Guang.

Waiting for so many years, a little time doesn’t matter.

Xu Guang fell silent.

Gu Shuo chuckled and finally departed.

...

After the two walked away.

The little disciple looked at Gu Shuo, "Master, do you have high hopes for this Xu Guang?"

Gu Shuo seemed unsurprised, "Do you think I misjudged?"

The young disciple shook his head, "A 27-year-old Third Grade peak expert, possibly with a mysterious inheritance. Master’s vision is certainly not wrong. It’s just... aren’t you eager to know about Gu Jiyun’s ancestor? Why not just ask him? Surely, he wouldn’t dare to hide it from you."

Gu Shuo smiled slightly.

"You’re absorbed in reading all day, but you overlook human nature. Since I have hopes for Xu Guang, I naturally won’t offend him. If he can enter the Northern Polar Six Institutes, he tells me the news, I repay him with something, this is camaraderie.

If the assessment fails, I will seek him out again, I’m sure he wouldn’t dare to hide, why become an adversary now and offend a famed genius from Li Taizhou?"

"Master’s wisdom is profound!"

"Waiting for so many years, there’s no need to rush in one moment."

Gu Shuo finally said softly.

Yet, there was a certain ambition in his eyes.

The soul lamp of Gu Jiyun has not extinguished in a thousand years, he is firmly convinced that the ancestor Jiyun is still alive.

...

Time passed quickly, in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

Xu Guang still hadn’t broken through Third Grade, but within Third Grade, he continued to advance significantly.

The Five Emperors True Form Transformation was already perfect, just a hair’s breadth away from breaking through to Second-Grade Spiritual Light.

However, the Five Emperors True Form Transformation was currently at Level 5, wanting to break through requires the skill level to reach Level 6.

He currently lacks some experience.

On the tower ship, there’s no way to gain experience. To break through remains challenging; he needs to find a way or channel to quickly gain experience.

In a teahouse on the tower ship.

Xu Guang, Gongsun Wang, and Zhuge Wuliang sat in a triangle.

They discussed cultivation heart virtue and shared their experiences of these days.

"Yesterday I dived into the water to search for Spiritual Objects and encountered an old turtle, which turned out to be a Qi Refiner of Secret Realm Level Four. Luckily, I left quickly."

Gongsun Wang smiled, showing a sense of relief.

"Everyone says Hongze is dangerous, only after personally experiencing it, do you realize the extent of the danger, with experts everywhere beyond one’s capability to deal with."

Zhuge Wuliang nodded, "I pride myself on being number one in Li Taizhou, but there are two people on this ship I can’t see through. I don’t know if they might have already broken through one level. Demon Hunter indeed lives up to being a major force renowned in Hongze, I feel uncertain whether I can pass the examination."

"You’re joking, Zhuge, if you’re unsure, who on this ship would dare guarantee passing the examination?"

Zhuge Wuliang lifted his eyebrows and looked at Xu Guang, "Isn’t this person beside you one?"

Gongsun Wang nodded in agreement, "Indeed, when in Li Taizhou, a 26-year-old Third Grade is shocking, but without any standard, until recently I spoke with several people from the Outer State and found out, even in the Outer State, breaking through to Third Grade before thirty is considered a core junior in a force. At the very least, they must be True Inheritors of Holy Land. In Li Taizhou, I estimate, Xu Guang’s name is more resounding than yours, Zhuge."

The three had become quite familiar, forming a kind of mutual support despite the many experts on Hongze.

Being strong is only relative.

Xu Guang glanced at them somewhat embarrassedly.

"Stop talking about me, you two."

Both of them laughed heartily.

After a pause, Xu Guang looked at Zhuge Wuliang and asked.

"Zhuge, senior, what is the biggest difference between Second Grade and Third Grade?"
