Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear-Chapter 345 - 326: Yun Ding City Travel Notes

Standing in front of the Teleportation Array of Profound Iron City, Wang Wu couldn’t help but look back with some regret.

He really wanted to slaughter that Five Poison guy, always had, and it’s not like this was the first or second time he dealt with him, but he never caught the chance, not even once.

Five Poison was such a coward.

More cowardly than him, he would avoid risks whenever possible, and hide whenever he could.

To have such a lunatic secretly watching, Wang Wu truly found it a headache.

Unfortunately, he didn’t even know where Five Poison was hiding.

He wouldn’t be foolish enough to start a massacre here; this was a heavily guarded, grand city with arrays both inside and out.

However, the gains this time were indeed quite good.

Feeling great!

Wang Wu stepped onto the Teleportation Array, the authorization completed instantly, the array automatically activated, giving him only three seconds to confirm, otherwise it would proceed by default.

After three seconds, with a whoosh, a white light flashed, and he had been teleported to Yun Ding City, a hundred thousand miles away.

As he stepped out of the array, suddenly and without warning, he felt a strange sensation, akin to a sudden whim but not quite, with no specific thoughts, just like a jumble of nonsense!

"What’s going on? Did the Snake Emperor give new instructions again?"

Wang Wu was inwardly alert,

for as soon as the real Yue Mountain emerged from seclusion, whether it be with Five Poison or Chen Damao, any contact would reveal an issue.

Moreover, he had told the truth before, saying that Xiong Wu had indeed come to the West Coast, but Five Poison spoke of a spy reporting from South Wilderness.

So who was the spy?

These were issues he needed to address quickly; besides, Yun Ding City was, after all, Lu Wuchen’s old stronghold, and certainly where Yue Mountain had lived from childhood to adulthood.

This much could be seen in the imprint of the Fire Sword.

So at this moment, even Wang Wu felt a sense of familiarity.

At some point, he felt he was Yue Mountain himself.

"Old slave pays respects to Young Master Shan."

Outside the Teleportation Array, a thin old man with a tufted goatee, hair tied high, and pronounced cheekbones with eyes flickering like ghostly flames, was skillfully bowing to Wang Wu.

This was the chief steward of Yun Ding City, and a First-Grade Guardian Spirit Beast known as Grandpa Huang, as mentioned by Chen Damao.

And this Guardian Spirit Beast was the leader of all Guardian Spirit Beasts of the Lu Family, having been left by Lu Ji and living for four thousand years.

Truly formidable!

Of course, Guardian Spirit Beasts usually did not leave their guarding area or participate in battles, only managing affairs, which was the most common setup in the Human Race Cultivation Realm. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

If any clan didn’t have a First-Grade Guardian Spirit Beast, it would be considered of lesser status, unworthy of being called a Noble Family or a Ten Thousand Years’ Family.

Often, if a First-Grade Guardian Spirit Beast was holding down a grand city, the City Lord would be free to attend to other matters unless it was a key strategic border town.

"Greetings, Grandpa Huang!"

Old Man Huang greeted Wang Wu, who meticulously and respectfully returned the gesture.

This old fellow had such seniority that even Lu Wuchen had to salute him.

Of course, each bowed to the other.

Because from the standpoint of identity, it was a servant and had to greet its master.

But from the perspective of seniority, even if it was a servant, it was Lu Ji’s Spirit Beast, and considering what position Lu Ji held, even his old, stinky socks would be treasured, let alone his Spirit Beast? Indeed, this was a significant etiquette.

"Congratulations on Young Master Shan’s emergence from seclusion; let this old servant have a look at Young Master Shan’s current cultivation."

Grandpa Huang smiled as he spoke, and without any further ado, placed one hand on Wang Wu’s skull, while the other three hands each pinched Wang Wu’s Life Gates.

The last hand took out a simple, rusted Copper Mirror, shining it overhead, revealing the mundane aura around Wang Wu.

Truly impressive and powerful, the Human Race’s Cultivation Sects gave no loopholes.

And their methods were indeed formidable.

Like this Grandpa Huang, a four-thousand-year-old First-Grade Great Demon, with exceptionally sharp insight talents, Wang Wu felt, unless he relied on the Five Elements Spirit Array in his body and combined with the Spirit Platform Clear Qi and the external circulation of the Ice and Fire Spirit Pill to perform the Earth Demon Thirty-Six Transformations, he would surely be exposed.

Such an Old Demon could easily distinguish any variation of the Ruyi Body Technique.

Yes, the Demon Race’s Ruyi Body Technique was already the most formidable of transformations.

But here it was useless as well.

At this moment, traces of Grandpa Huang’s aura flowed throughout Wang Wu’s body but to no avail.

His Five Demon Pills were protected by the Pale Fire, and further shielded by the Ice and Fire Spirit Pill.

Moreover, this was the Ruyi Ice and Fire Spirit Pill, ordinarily Sixth Grade, but at this moment perfectly simulating a Second Grade Ice and Fire Spirit Pill.

Who could have anticipated such miraculous transformations in the Dao of Transformation?

"Not bad, within just fifty years, not only have you healed your internal injuries, but you have also reforged your Ice and Fire Lifebound Flying Sword, and your cultivation seems to have advanced a bit, truly a Celestial Pride of our Human Race! Come, the First Madam is hosting a banquet today, and you’ve arrived just in time!"

"As for the Five Elements Spirit Pill matter, Xiao Mao has already discussed it with the old servant, rest assured, there will be no problem."

After speaking, Grandpa Huang, without consulting Wang Wu, waved his hand and instantly teleported three hundred miles.

Instant Teleportation Divine Techniques?

The Human Race’s untold secret!

A terrifying divine technique even Yue Mountain failed to master!

Speaking of which, Wang Wu had only witnessed it once during the Jade Mountain Manor incident in Luoyue City, performed by that meticulous boy whose appearance was remarkably similar to Five Poison but wasn’t him.

That fellow, Yue Mountain didn’t even recognize.

He seemed even more low-profile than Five Poison.

At this moment, as Wang Wu raised his head, he immediately knew where they were. This was where Lu Wuchen used to teach his disciples, although that was more than two hundred years ago. At that time, Lu Wuchen was not yet the Vice Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance and still had some leisure time.

But even Yue Mountain hadn’t set foot here for a hundred and eighty years.

Passing through familiar yet unfamiliar houses, ahead were several thatched cottages, with bamboo forests at the back, vaguely visible mountains.

On the left was a small bridge over flowing water, on the right was green grass, flowers in full bloom, bright sunlight filtering down, a gentle breeze blowing, butterflies dancing, the fragrance of flowers naturally coming.

This scene, indelibly clear, weighed heavily on the heart.

Ah, my verdant years.

At some unknown time, Grandpa Huang disappeared, but in front of the thatched cottages, tables and chairs were already set for dining, with a few exquisite white-dressed maidens gracefully bustling about, and three people already seated.

Two were familiar, both Lu Wuchen’s direct disciples, one had to be called Third Senior Brother, named Zhenhai, the other was Sixth Junior Brother, named Feng Yang.

The other was unfamiliar, a woman in yellow, with jade-like features and lively eyes, full of vitality.

"Fourth Junior Brother, long time no see, I heard you were injured before, are you well now?"

Seeing Wang Wu, Third Senior Brother Zhenhai and Sixth Junior Brother Feng Yang hurriedly stood up, taking a few steps forward, excitedly grasping Wang Wu’s shoulders.

"Thank you, Third Senior Brother, for your concern, I’m no longer in any serious condition!"

"Haha! Yue Mountain, oh Yue Mountain, how many years has it been since we last met?"

"One hundred fifty years, nine months, and seven days," Wang Wu quickly replied.

"Fourth Senior Brother, I’m truly overjoyed to see you today! Senior Brother Zhenhai and I were just planning to visit the Great Snow Mountain in half a month, and here you came on your own."

Sixth Junior Brother Feng Yang also excitedly chimed in, genuinely happy. Wang Wu still remembered those two went to the East Wilderness because their families were rooted there; they indeed belong to distinguished Cultivation sects and noble families.

"Come, come, Junior Brother, this is my disciple I took thirty years ago, named Wu Yin’Er. Her grandfather was the City Lord of Wushui City, her family was destroyed by the Southern Wilderness Demon Race, and she escaped alone. Later she was saved by me and accepted as my disciple. She has excellent talent and is hopeful of entering the Celestial Pride List!"

Zhenhai proudly introduced to Wang Wu. Wu Yin’Er? Wushui City, somewhat familiar.

"Disciple Wu Yin’Er greets Uncle Yue Mountain!"

The girl in yellow gracefully saluted and inquired politely, her large eyes blinking curiously, what could it mean?

Wang Wu momentarily froze, then realized it—there should be a greeting gift. He was being the pretend Uncle on behalf of Yue Mountain.

However, what kind of greeting gift to give? It wouldn’t be appropriate not to give anything.

But he couldn’t give anything; he was impersonating Yue Mountain, holding not Yue Mountain’s Storage Pouch!

He looked at Zhenhai, then at the smiling Feng Yang, indeed!

At this, Wang Wu sized up Wu Yin’Er, stroked the short mustache on his chin, and said in an old, dignified manner, "Niece Yin’Er, since we meet today, I should give you a greeting gift. If it were someone else, it wouldn’t matter, but I deeply cherish my relationship with Third Senior Brother. Hence, this greeting gift must not be careless. Bring your Flying Sword."

"Yes, Uncle!"

Wu Yin’Er seemed quite expectant, immediatly making a sword gesture, a wisp of light flew out from her mouth, appearing very mystical. When it landed in her hand, it transformed into a pink petal, rippling like water, swaying like the wind, quite nice indeed.

Of course, only limited to nice.

Because this was an Earth Third Grade Flying Sword.

She needed to continue refining it, reaching Earth First Grade, to further refine it to the Celestial Ninth Grade.

Speaking of which, Wang Wu always started at the Celestial Ninth Grade, a bit unaccustomed to this Earth Grade stuff.

In this moment, being forcefully pushed into it, there was no choice.

With a wave of his sleeve, the Flying Sword severed its connection with Wu Yin’Er, directly coming into his grasp.

Wu Yin’Er was greatly astonished, glancing at her master Zhenhai, who, however, shook his head with a smile.

Well, though he was the Third Senior Brother and also a direct disciple of Lu Wuchen, he couldn’t compare to Yue Mountain in terms of strength. Among Lu Wuchen’s nine direct disciples, Yue Mountain was absolutely the first.

Ranked ninth on the Celestial Pride List, not something just anyone could contend with!

Moreover, when Lu Wuchen took on disciples, he primarily considered the connections and background behind the disciple. Therefore, besides Yue Mountain and Five Poison, the remaining seven direct disciples were all direct sons and grandsons of noble families.

At this moment, holding this Flying Sword, Wang Wu didn’t need to use Level 15 Spirit Essence to sense it, not even the appraisal of those four skilled eyes, he merely lightly brushed his hand, and opposite Wu Yin’Er’s delicate body slightly trembled. A Lifebound Flying Sword, indeed like a gambler, betting everything, thinking their hand would overwhelm the table.

Though theoretically, it could enable one to fight above a level and kill the enemy.

But in reality, it hadn’t encountered a real opponent.

Otherwise, Yue Mountain would be the best example.
