Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 452 - 213: Poison Scripture, Boundless Sea, Saint’s Direct Legacy (Supplement 2)

Chapter 452: Chapter 213: Poison Scripture, Boundless Sea, Saint’s Direct Legacy (Supplement 2)

At this moment, Shen Qingfeng clearly saw the murderous intent in Xu Guang’s eyes, and he knew that Xu Guang truly intended to kill.

"What do you want to know?"

Switching from offense to defense, Shen Qingfeng quickly gathered his emotions, compressed the restless Qi Force within his body, and spoke.

Xu Guang gave Shen Qingfeng an unexpected look, realizing he had the ability to adapt and endure, a remarkable talent.

"Where in Hongze are you from?"

Shen Qingfeng’s pupils shrank, "You..."

Xu Guang slowly raised his hand, Qi Force snaking between his palm like a venomous serpent spitting its tongue, an overwhelming presence once again surged, making Shen Qingfeng feel a bit dizzy.

"The Boundless Sea of Hongze..."

Feeling the murderous intent, Shen Qingfeng hurriedly spoke.

Xu Guang nodded slightly, "Is Li Ruzhen also from there?"

"Yes, Master is an Elder of the Boundless Sea, and I am his disciple."

Xu Guang raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. The experts here all yearn to leave this continent and head to Hongze to see a broader world, but surprisingly, Li Ruzhen chose a contrary path, coming from the Outer Domain to this place.

"You are different from others here. With your talent, if recommended by your master, leaving this place and joining the Boundless Sea wouldn’t be difficult. That’s why I came for the future."

Shen Qingfeng spoke.

He was not lying; Xu Guang’s aptitude was so remarkable that even Li Ruzhen had personally praised it, saying that if he were in Hongze, it would only be a matter of decades before both he and Shen Qingfeng would have to address him as Senior upon meeting.

Li Ruzhen genuinely wanted to recruit Xu Guang.

Xu Guang quietly observed Shen Qingfeng, "Have you heard of the Demon Hunter Gu Jiyun?"

Shen Qingfeng’s expression changed dramatically.

"You... are you the successor of the Ancient Saint?"

It was like a thunderbolt exploded in his mind.

The strength of the Demon Hunters in Hongze was terrifyingly formidable, far surpassing any ordinary Holy Land. Gu Jiyun was a legend among Demon Hunters, having once captured a dragon in the raging sea.

Rumors had it that Gu Jiyun had been missing for nearly a thousand years, and before disappearing, seemed to be searching for his ancestor’s trail...

It easily became clear to him why Xu Guang was so strong.

A Saint’s disciple held immense prestige in Hongze as well.

Xu Guang remained silent, but from Shen Qingfeng’s words, it was clear that the Demon Hunter’s power should far surpass that of the Boundless Sea.

As they spoke, the door was pushed open again, and a burly middle-aged man walked in, smiling as he picked up peanuts from the table and popped them in his mouth, "Sorry I’m late, apologies, apologies."

Xu Guang fell into silence.

He recognized the newcomer, Zhai Xun of the Thirty-Six Great Bandits.

This man had long pledged allegiance to Li Ruzhen, and Xu Guang understood that he wouldn’t be able to kill Shen Qingfeng today.

"Zhai, your timing isn’t late; it’s quite fitting, actually."

Xu Guang said with a smile.

Zhai Xun paused in his movement, looking at Xu Guang, a silent pressure and aura clashing in the air.

Suddenly, Zhai Xun burst into hearty laughter.

"I’m glad I’m not late, not late at all. I’ve always heard about Xu the Sect Leader of Dragon Gate being a young talent, and indeed, seeing is believing."

Xu Guang slowly withdrew his Qi Force, no longer suppressing Shen Qingfeng.

A moment later, the atmosphere among the three grew remarkably harmonious, as if the previous tension with Shen Qingfeng was just an illusion.

Shen Qingfeng’s background was simple, aiming to recruit.

He had never given up on recruitment; the two of them had already met several times.

But in the previous meetings, Xu Guang showed little interest in him.

"Sect Leader Xu, please believe I harbor no ill intent."

Xu Guang was noncommittal; after confirming his suspicions, his sole curiosity about Shen Qingfeng lay in the peculiar Poison Skill he possessed.

Although Liu Ruyan had the Poison Scripture of Poison King Gu Huaixin, it mostly documented poison cultivation, with little mention of poisoning techniques.

But Shen Qingfeng’s Poison Skill was different, its method of poisoning was unconventional, capable of poisoning through eye contact. If Xu Guang didn’t have the trait of being Immune to Hundred Poisons, how should he handle such an opponent?

Shen Qingfeng sensed Xu Guang’s interest in his poisoning method from their conversation.

Thinking for a moment.

"Previously, my unannounced visit was abrupt; does Sect Leader Xu have an interest in my Poison Scripture?"

Xu Guang was surprised.

Shen Qingfeng was actually willing to share his Poison Skill?

Zhai Xun was equally shocked, casting several incredulous glances at Xu Guang, then tactfully rose to leave.

"My poisoning technique was discovered with the help of my master; it requires a very special constitution, with the innate Poisonous Eye Divine Power, able to contain myriad poisons..."

As he spoke, Shen Qingfeng untied the bandage on his forehead, revealing a horizontal eye without an eyeball, vibrant with colors, as if hosting countless living creatures.

His appearance was like that of a remarkable, mythological figure.

"When cultivated deeply, divine techniques can solidify, manifesting on the body. The Poisonous Eye Divine Power, realized by my ancestors and perfected over generations, has finally manifested in me, fulfilling the condition to practice this Poison Skill."

Xu Guang finally understood why Shen Qingfeng was so generous in sharing the True Marvelous Pure Scripture with him.

He skimmed it; the true skill had a high threshold for cultivation, only achievable by the Fourth Grade, requiring the Poisonous Eye Divine Power, which had to be cultivated to a high degree.

Although this true skill was a Poison Skill, the entire text contained nothing about poison cultivation. It viewed poison as a form of heterodox, as its name suggests, True Marvelous Pure Scripture, which uses righteousness to control evil, and humans to control poison.

It emphasized hiding poison within oneself, merging it completely with one’s Qi Force when needed, and concealing it entirely within the Poisonous Eye when not. Throughout its cultivation, Qi Force was incessantly being scoured by poison.

Ultimately, a single gaze, a word, a gesture, a smile could all poison.

Ultimately, as long as the Poisonous Eye Divine Power is strong enough, the stronger the poison it can accommodate.

This also revealed Shen Qingfeng’s strength, as he handled Third Grade toxic using his Fourth Grade cultivation, applying it through the True Marvelous Pure Scripture.

Indeed remarkable.

"Thank you."

Shen Qingfeng only smiled lightly.

He didn’t think Xu Guang could cultivate this true skill.

After all, its core lay not in the talent, but in the potency of the Poisonous Eye Divine Power.

"Sect Leader Xu, with your connection to Demon Hunters, you should soon be able to escape this cage and return to the Hongze Dragon Sea.

You are a straightforward person, even if unsaid, you have the world in your heart.

This is a good trait, but in Hongze... such a character is not welcome.

You see me differently now, likely believing me to be the direct descendant of the Ancient Saint, Gu Jiyun."

Seemingly accepting that he might be the personal disciple of Gu Jiyun.

A Saint’s disciple holds significant respect even in Hongze, and in the Demon Hunters, there are surely more powerful individuals than him.

"Now you, in this Li Taizhou, can shake the heavens and earth.

You, as a remarkable talent with the backing of someone like Gongsun Wang of the Ten Thousand Laws Sect, undoubtedly capable of stirring Zhuge Wuliang, the only person in this world who can rival my master.

Shen Qingfeng expressed this with some emotion on his face.

"For such absolute talent, they must help your master find challenges against him."

His demeanor toward Shen Qingfeng had changed significantly.

He didn’t know the real reason for Li Ruzhen’s strong desire to recruit Xu Guang, but it certainly wasn’t for the altruistic reasons Shen Qingfeng mentioned, supposedly to save the world.

His ambition to become Emperor surely had another profound motive, as a great cultivator with the prowess to traverse the vast Hongze to this Ancient God-watched Great State, it couldn’t be for the sake of saving the world.

The difference was palpable.

...

"It’s nothing, right?"

Xu Guang held Jiang Zi Yun’s hand, saying slightly worried.

A day later.

Xu Guang stood up, feeling at ease, "Don’t worry, I’ve got everything under control."

The power of the Celestial Register of the Fourth Grade Main Position, appearing much stronger than before.

There was a fascination that arose in Xu Guang for Shen Qingfeng’s Poisonous Eye Divine Power.

Some Divine Techniques can be inherited by descendants.

Just like the Poisonous Eye Divine Power from Shen Qingfeng’s family.

It was easy to see, from various aspects, the formidable nature of the power.

The panel for Martial Venerable had a section for bloodline, something Xu Guang hadn’t paid much attention to before.

But now, it had sparked his interest.
