Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 423 - 204: I Regret I’m Not a Master of Five Divine Techniques or a Martial Venerable!

Chapter 423: Chapter 204: I Regret I’m Not a Master of Five Divine Techniques or a Martial Venerable!

He followed the path once taken by the Broken Extreme Martial Saint to the gate of the Emperor Palace.

About tens of meters inside the gate, Xu Guang saw a piece of bluestone.

There were words on it, varying in weight, and what caught Xu Guang’s attention the most was the first line of small characters.

’Hongze Demon Hunter Gou Yuan now suppresses the Horror Demon, please enter the Emperor Palace, may the Emperor bestow his presence.’

"The one who suppresses the Horror Demon?"

Xu Guang was greatly shocked, the one who suppresses the Horror Demon? Even stronger than the Array Breaking Martial Saint.

Tears of blood trickled from his eyes; though the power had long worn off over the eons, the words still almost hurt him.

Truly terrifying.

He stopped looking at Gou Yuan’s inscription and turned to other markings.

’East Penglai Immortal Monarch Shen Yuan requests entry to the Emperor’s Palace.’

Immortal Monarch?

Another great figure above the level of a Saint.

Xu Guang was shocked.

He hadn’t expected that on this declining continent, so many major figures had visited millennia ago.

Here...

Perhaps it hides some great secret.

Having seen so much, he entirely gave up his lingering hopes, planning to retreat and head back with General Wei while the Bronze Emperor Palace remained unchanged.

With a bit of reluctance, he instinctively glanced at the main gate of the Bronze Palace.

He actually saw the world beyond the gate!

Pitch black, with only a few mummified corpses, resembling dried skeletons, sitting quietly in place.

"Five Divine Techniques..."

"Who!"

Xu Guang was startled, retreating several steps.

He actually heard someone speak!

In such a place, hearing a voice was terrifying.

"I... am Gu Jiyun..."

The name on the bluestone belonged to this person, a descendant of the Demon Hunter Gou Yuan, who had come seeking his ancestor’s traces.

Unexpectedly, he was still alive.

This person’s name was below that of the Array Breaking Martial Saint, indicating he had only arrived here in millennia past.

This was at least a Saint-level existence.

"You... come over, I will help you comprehend the Six Imperial Extremes..."

Gu Jiyun’s voice was utterly weak, like a lamp about to go out at any moment.

Xu Guang hesitated.

Gu Jiyun said no more.

"Senior, can I help you?"

The quiet atmosphere made Xu Guang sweat with anxiety; he feared that a Guardian might burst out of the Bronze Palace, mistaking him for an intruder.

Over an hour later, Gu Jiyun’s voice came again.

"The Six Imperial Extremes can open the Emperor Palace, when you comprehend it... help me escape..."

Gu Jiyun, on the verge of death, said no more and directly sent a mantra to Xu Guang through the grand doors of the Bronze Palace.

"Go... comprehend, help me..."

After this, he remained silent.

Meanwhile, Xu Guang was in a daze.

Upon receiving Gu Jiyun’s mysterious mantra, he hadn’t even had time to check it before the panel began frantically flashing.

[Acquired Six Imperial Secret Technique, Martial Artist profession may undergo Extraordinary Promotion, proceed with promotion?]

This time, there was no choice presented.

Only one profession—Martial Venerable!

[Professional Promotion Successful]

[Martial Artist Professional Skills Promoted]

[Martial Artist Professional Talent Upgraded]

[Martial Venerable Divine Techniques Panel Unlocked]

Amidst the changes on the panel, Xu Guang was already too overwhelmed to care.

Chanting the Six Imperial Mantra silently, with the professional promotion, earth-shattering changes had begun within him.

Pain!

Such intense pain!

Xu Guang had never imagined that the promotion to the Extraordinary could be so painful.

The Divine Soul and the Divine Thought felt as though they were being flayed alive; the Five Emperors Celestial Gate shimmered subtly, a mysterious force merging within, enshrouding his once transparent Divine Soul in a golden hue.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind as his Divine Soul was continuously crushed and tormented...

The Five Emperors Celestial Gate trembled slightly, as if on the brink of collapse...

It’s unknown how much time passed.

Xu Guang’s consciousness finally returned to clarity.

Ah Wei had been guarding him by his side, seemingly untroubled.

Xu Guang opened the panel to check, exhaling a long breath.

[Current Profession: Martial Venerable★★★★★]

[Professional Talent: Martial Venerable: Innate Five Divine Techniques, Condense Extreme Divine Thought, My presence as Heaven’s presence, My emergence as Heaven’s emergence]

[Professional Module: None]

[Specialization Module: Six Imperial Techniques - Extreme Soul]

[Bloodline Potential: ★★★★, Five Emperors Tribulation Body (Extreme Sacred Body)]

Such unbelievable changes.

Once more, the Six Imperial Spell surfaced in his mind.

It was a power that could enhance the Divine Soul, boosting explosive strength; with Sword Qi as an example, utilizing Extreme Soul would double the power of his Sword Techniques!

Martial Venerable...

The extremity of realm, breaking the limits, seeking the true essence of Martial Dao.

This was a Reverse Dao cultivation method found by the Six Imperial Emperors for the Martial Dao, a quest for the extremity of realm.

But truly... so painful.

He finally understood why the Array Breaking Martial Saint said only those with Five Divine Techniques could cultivate it, such a transformation of the Divine Soul, even if one had Five Divine Techniques, without the Five Emperors Heavenly Gate Tribulation Rebirth Jade Cicada Technique, this Spirit Martial Dao to condense Divine Thought, his Divine Soul couldn’t withstand such an intense transformation.

That Gu Jiyun...

Doesn’t have good intentions, right?

If he were just an ordinary Martial Artist with Five Divine Techniques, pondering the Six Imperial Extreme Curse would certainly not end well.

Could those corpses behind the gate be the result of failing to comprehend Extreme Soul, eventually leading to their demise?

"Go... don’t come in, once Martial Venerable is comprehended, the Venerable may come."

In the wind, Gu Jiyun spoke once more.

Xu Guang stood in silence, understanding Gu Jiyun’s predicament.

This person was trapped within the Emperor Palace, unable to step out.

He imparted his Extreme Soul seeking a speck of hope, perhaps also rising from the lofty pride of a Great Cultivator, overlooking everything. He was proud, confident, someone would come, then impart Extreme Soul—it mattered not whether they lived or died.
