Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 385 - 191: Change and Turmoil

Bam!

Water splashed everywhere as Xu Guang suddenly burst out from the water.

His body wasn’t wet, and he stood on the shore, meditating.

Suddenly, he struck out fiercely; he didn’t use Qi Force, just practiced his Martial Techniques. As the Supreme Sacred Body, his physical strength might not be overwhelmingly powerful, but every move he made carried a flow of qi energy.

Even though he wasn’t a Yin Five Elements Martial Artist, he didn’t utilize his innate Qi.

Yet every punch and kick from his body seemed to induce changes in the Power of Heaven and Earth.

The mist from the water blasted open and was dispersed by the gusts from his punches. Under the summer sun, a colorful halo resembling a rainbow formed around him.

Like a dream or illusion.

’Still lacking a bit...’

Xu Guang frowned; the development of his Alien Body had reached about 13%. Going step by step, a few days ago, he faintly felt the tremor from the Xuanming Guarding Abyss Gate, with a vague tendency to push it open.

This was the Water Tribulation Gate in the Five Emperors Celestial Gate Tribulation. Among the Five Elements Techniques, aside from the fundamental Wood Attribute Technique, the Water Attribute Skill was what he excelled at the most. It’s normal that the second gate he pushed open was the Water Gate.

Even though there was an opportunity, truly seeing the Inner Scenery of the Water Gate’s entrance still seemed to lack something.

It had been half a month since the enthronement ceremony.

Keeping a low profile, he hadn’t stepped out of the Dragon Gate Mountain Gate, simply cultivating quietly at the entrance.

Liu Ruyan moved quickly, and coupled with Xu Guang’s recent fame, the disciple recruitment was going smoothly.

However, the target of a hundred thousand disciples was too enormous to achieve in a short while. In half a month, they’ve recruited over forty-eight thousand people.

After two days of training, these disciples had developed a habit of going up Tiger’s Mouth Cliff once daily before practicing.

To Xu Guang’s surprise, many people among them were freeloaders; of the forty-eight thousand people, aside from the initial two or three days, only about thirty-five thousand could be relied upon to provide consistent experience points each day.

There were quite a few people among them with steadfast minds who provided a fixed 5 experience points daily.

’The quality of these disciples is inferior to those in Chiyao County.’

Xu Guang sighed internally, but though the quality was lacking, the quantity made up for it. He would also do some weeding to kick out those freeloaders.

These young individuals were already showing signs of slacking off; their lifetime accomplishments would be minimal.

After practice, a figure in Blood Armor emerged from the pavilion, walking stiffly.

This was a puppet. Despite Xu Guang’s intermittent research on Mo Feng Mechanism Technique, after witnessing many things, he could understand some originally incomprehensible aspects. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

The appointment was a matter of course.

This puppet was Xu Guang’s test creation; it didn’t even possess the strength of a Seventh Grade, but what’s commendable was that it succeeded on Xu Guang’s first attempt at making a puppet.

A wooden arm extended from the puppet’s back and handed a Jade Box to Xu Guang.

He opened it and swallowed the Elixir in one gulp.

Calming his mind, Xu Guang closed his eyes, sitting by the waterfall, his mind flooded with the mysterious content within Ascension to Heaven. Innate Qi started to circulate, yet lacking Source Qi, the innate Qi couldn’t be enhanced.

Fortunately, the cultivation technique of this single Secret Realm, Ascension to Heaven, had the ability to refine essence into Qi, able to squeeze from the body, using the body as a source of Qi to amplify the internal Qi.

He could clearly sense a drying-out feeling in his flesh, with threads of Qi growing and supplementing the innate Qi in the Spirit Palace.

However, this practice was quite challenging.

And it affected the training of his martial arts cultivation.

Through the Qi, he faintly sensed a world like a sun, filled with numerous things that made the Qi within him cheer joyfully, yet separated as if by an unseen barrier.

But this intangible barrier filled him with a sense of helplessness.

Currently, his research on Ascension to Heaven had reached a certain depth. Successfully entry level in half a year wouldn’t be difficult, but once in, without Source Qi between heaven and earth, cultivation would soon stagnate.

It’s better to focus first on martial arts, and once his martial arts forge into Third Grade, to perceive and draw Source Qi from the Void Realm, then figure out how to enhance the cultivation of a Qi Refiner.

Xu Guang made up his mind.

Meanwhile, for cultivating the Dragon Robbing Seal, a magical treasure of the Qi Refiner, he had begun the process, though the speed of Refinement wasn’t quick.

Several days passed.

Ah Wei had successfully refined the Dragon Essence Xu Guang obtained from the Dragon Gate Secret Vault, ascending to the peak of Fifth Grade, only a step away from Fourth Grade.

But its true combat power, with the naturally abundant Demonic Power of a Demon Beast and the physique of a Giant Spirit, would find few equals in Fourth Grade capable of rivaling Ah Wei.

It was like a high-attack, high-defense, long blue-bar tank-like presence; among human Fourth-Grade experts, regardless of what True Martial Arts they cultivated, they were like fragile assassins before it.

After its enhancement, due to feedback from the Giant Spirit Shepherd vocation, Xu Guang’s physical strength also received an enhancement. Although he hadn’t practiced the Ten Thousand Laws Sect Body Tempering Technique left by Gongsun Wang, his physique was incredibly robust, perhaps not invincible, but finding an opponent in Fourth Grade would be rare.

...

Half a month later.

In the Central District of Shouyang Prefecture.

Xu Guang sat alone on the second floor of a small teahouse, watching the Jiang Family’s grand army slowly pass by below.

He sat there brazenly, unrecognized, and no one wanted to strike up a conversation.

The Jiang Family was indeed powerful; in just over a month, they had already reclaimed a vast expanse of lost territory in Changsong Prefecture.

Half a month ago, the Jiang Family’s third ancestor, Jiang Hong, personally took action, joining forces with a venerable elder from the Ten Thousand Laws Sect, the Third Grade Old Patriarch of Jiufeng Mountain, and the old ancestor of the Taiyi Alliance to launch a sudden attack on the Barbarians, killing two Third-Grade Barbarian Kings. The Barbarian Army fell into chaos and retreated into the forests.
