Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 354 - 180: The Bright Moon Shines on All But Me

Chapter 354: Chapter 180: The Bright Moon Shines on All But Me

"It’s just a coincidence."

It really is a coincidence.

Liu Yao lost interest in continuing the conversation. Although she was from Jichuan Prefecture, she was close to the Celestial Yin Sect in Jingzhou. The Buddhist Sect also had considerable influence in Jingzhou, but she disliked bald heads. Since this young monk wasn’t abandoning Buddhism to practice the Martial Dao, she didn’t want to say anything more.

The young monk quietly gazed at the distant Dao Academy.

"Brightness..."

...

Chiyao County.

Xu Guang looked at the Immortal Register on the Stone Mirror.

Many revelations surfaced in his eyes.

A cultivation technique like "Ascension to Heaven" was never easy to master. Compared to the Martial Dao, the cultivation threshold for Qi Refiners was higher, and the paths of meditation for both were like roads with completely different slopes.

The Martial Dao slope is gentle, making it easy to get on track.

The Qi Refining path is steep, making immediate realization difficult.

Moreover, he was practicing the Single Secret Realm path, which was quite challenging even among Qi Refiners.

But to him, as long as he stepped into the Qi Refiner’s path, the slope ahead wasn’t of much concern.

Nonetheless, during this period of developing the Alien Body, he studied the Ascension to Heaven cultivation technique. Although he hadn’t mastered it, he gained many insights into Qi Refiner practices.

He had basically fully understood the content on the Stone Mirror.

The Bronze Fragments recorded the Immortal Registers.

One was of Thunder, and the other of Wind.

Thunder had too many forms of expression; every Immortal Register on the Bronze Fragment was essentially just one representation of Thunder.

Carefully placing the Stone Mirror, Xu Guang opened the panel.

[Current Skills (Qi Refiner): Innate Qi lv1 (6352/100000), Thunder Talisman lv0 (0/1000)]

This Immortal Register’s advancement was somewhat simple.

Looking at the experience points suffix behind the Immortal Register, Xu Guang was a bit surprised.

He didn’t hesitate; a thousand experience points were not even enough for his daily sign-in extras these days.

But after maxing out the skills, it didn’t automatically level up to lv2.

Instead, it got stuck at lv0 (1000/1000).

Very strange.

Could it be...

The prerequisite for leveling up was understanding the Thunder Immortal Register?

This seemed quite normal; after all this time, with the aid of the Stone Mirror, he only mastered one character, Thunder.

"Take it slow."

Thinking to himself.

There was a knock on the door from the outside.

Followed by Xu Fang’s somewhat tense voice.

After all, the Ancestor’s current status was entirely different from before.

Previously, as a Fifth Grade Ancestor, their Red Flame Sect barely managed to maintain a connection; but now...

Frankly speaking, not just Chiyao County, even the Chifeng Prefecture could be easily leveled by the Ancestor alone.

Also because of this, what originally should have been the disciple’s task of welcoming guests was snatched by him.

He wanted to personally be the Gatekeeper for the Ancestor.

"Ancestor, someone seeks an audience."

Xu Guang was not surprised; in recent times, with Ji Yanran spreading the news, people continuously came to see him daily.

Perhaps to exchange manuscripts in his possession, to verify if he’s truly Fourth Grade, or even to form alliances... 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

In short, human complexities and entanglements were abundantly displayed in dealing with a single matter.

Behind Xu Fang followed someone.

A person who made Xu Guang extremely surprised and astonished.

Chun Yuniang!

She appeared, alive and in person, right in front of him.

"Yu Niang?"

Chun Yuniang slightly bowed, then attempted to directly kneel.

"Greetings to the benefactor."

Her body didn’t completely lower because it was blocked by an invisible force.

"What kind of benefactor am I."

Originally thinking he was caring for her, he didn’t expect to involve the other party in trouble. He didn’t know how Zhao Yunshan treated Chun Yuniang, but it probably wasn’t a pleasant experience.

He didn’t want to ask, only pondering how to compensate her.

He didn’t ask, but Chun Yuniang revealed her ordeal.

From being deceived by her master to falling into the hands of the Dark Tower, being tortured, even having three little fingers cut off, and the subsequent reattachment process were all clearly told to Xu Guang.

Xu Guang remained expressionless, only emitting a chilling aura.

"Brightness? What kind of organization is that?"

Chun Yuniang slightly shook her head, but a hint of peculiarity appeared in her eyes as she softly said, "I want to join them."

Xu Guang wanted to stop her but didn’t know from what standpoint or identity.

He and Chun Niang were mere passersby, having no real connection with Chun Yuniang...

"Benefactor, the Stone Mirror..."

Xu Guang didn’t hesitate, directly retrieving the Stone Mirror. This object could replicate the Immortal Register on the Bronze Fragment and even had more extraordinary capabilities, but it originally belonged to Chun Yuniang. He valued it, but it wasn’t indispensable.

Chun Yuniang shook her head.

"The gratitude of the benefactor is as substantial as mountains and seas; Yu Niang has no way to repay this, so the Stone Mirror will henceforth belong to the benefactor..."

Xu Guang remained silent.

He didn’t explain that Chun Yuniang’s predicament was due to him.

He believed these matters might be known to Chun Yuniang.

She probably had other issues.

"Please, benefactor, take into account the Treasure Mirror and my late sister, and help me with one last favor. From this day forward, I only owe the benefactor, and the benefactor need not feel guilty anymore."

"I’ll go through fire and water." Xu Guang said seriously; he rarely made promises, but once made, he must fulfill them.

...

Reentering Wangdang Mountain, Xu Guang felt a sense of surrealness.

He actually found the sinister Ghostly Land somewhat endearing.

He looked into the depths of the Ghostly Land, pondering what Zouchuan Dao’s situation might be on the other side?

Having not seen him for a year, he wondered how old acquaintances from Zouchuan Dao were faring?

Did senior sister Fuqing find the opportunity to break through Fourth Grade?

Ah Wei was quite happy, returning to the forest; its form hadn’t changed, yet the mountain seemed less distant.
