Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 225 - 137: Shadow Soldiers Pass Through, Death Buddha Country, Mysterious Bronze
"Except for this sword which was the possession of an Inner Sect Disciple of the Ten Thousand Laws Sect from a few years back, the rest you should be able to use."
Jiang Zi Yun concluded finally.
Xu Guang nodded and directly pulled out over a hundred Spirit Crystals from among them.
"Consider this your appraisal fee."
Jiang Zi Yun smiled faintly, and did not refuse.
The relationship between the two is somewhat awkward now, and Xu Guang is not one to owe favors easily. A hundred Spirit Crystals is nothing to him at the moment.
After waiting for a long time.
Shadow Soldiers no longer appeared.
Xu Guang returned again to the Jiao Ape Water Mansion and retrieved the piece of bronze.
He had General Wei test it, and its ivory couldn’t pierce through it at all.
This item, he hasn’t figured out how to use it for now, but even if he made a Heart Protection Mirror for General Wei, it would be nice.
After all, it counts as an unexpected gain.
...
In the Ten Thousand People Pit Ghostly Land, there are endless opportunities and countless perils.
Mou Zhen, dressed in white, walked through the ghostly land for dozens of days, seemingly unaffected by it.
And beside him, Meng Hao bore a worried expression, holding a Compass in his hand.
"Senior Brother, where exactly is the Celestial Pool Tomb that we’re looking for?"
Hearing this, Mou Zhen frowned and shook his head slightly.
"There is a false prodigy among us."
Meng Hao was taken aback, "So, you suspect, the Celestial Pool Tomb won’t open at all this time?"
The Celestial Pool Elder was an ancient monster from a time even older than when the Great Zhou was founded, a figure whose cultivation was said to surpass that of the Great Zhou Grand Ancestor of old.
However, they didn’t concern themselves with how the Celestial Pool Elder lived his life in the past.
What they cared about was the effect once the Celestial Pool Tomb opens.
The Celestial Pool Elder had a fondness for nurturing talents, leaving behind a Celestial Pool opportunity within his tomb that could ignite the potential within Martial Artists, cultivating a unique physique distinct to oneself and allowing one to comprehend a Divine Technique exclusive to oneself.
If geniuses like them entered, they would have the chance to seize a seed of Divine Techniques.
With a Spirit Bone as a foundation, when reaching Fourth Grade, one must develop a miraculous physique unique to oneself. Even if cultivating the same Cultivation Technique, no identical physique would be present.
Once the physique is born, it nurtures the Divine Technique within, an Innate Divine Technique exclusive to one’s physique, akin to the bloodline Divine Techniques of Demon Beasts.
In other words, getting an opportunity within the Celestial Pool Tomb means a Fourth Grade can be anticipated!
This is precisely why Mou Zhen, who is considered an absolute genius even in the Dianyin Sect, traveled such a long distance to reach Zouchuan Dao’s true intention.
However, there is a downside to this, that is, every time the Celestial Pool Tomb opens, there must be enough geniuses nearby capable of stirring the opportunities within the tomb; otherwise, it simply cannot be opened.
"It seems like our previous ideas have gone down the drain, and who knows what that kid Tang Feng is up to now."
Meng Hao sighed.
Not summoning people was his idea; he wasn’t strong enough and didn’t have the confidence to easily grasp the opportunities in the Celestial Pool like Mou Zhen could.
"Forget it, I’ll summon everyone over. The talents from Jiufeng Mountain and the Jiang Family during this examination, combined with the Martial Artists adventuring in the Ten Thousand People Pit Ghostly Land, should suffice to meet the opening requirements."
Having said this, Mou Zhen looked at Meng Hao.
Meng Hao sighed, "Brother Mou, once we’re inside, you must look out for me."
Mou Zhen’s expression softened slightly, "We come from the same sect, it should be so."
Every time the Celestial Pool Tomb opens, depending on its accumulation time, up to nine geniuses can gain the opportunity. With his strength, it should be easy to secure a spot for Meng Hao.
Meng Hao took out a Spirit Talisman and drew a trace in the air, and marks appeared in the void, after which it seemed like countless fine lines appeared in the void.
Each line extended into the black-red blood mist, seemingly endless, yet only Meng Hao knew that the end of each line represented a person currently within the ghostly land.
"Mou Zhen and Meng Hao of the Dianyin Sect invite all the experts within the Ten Thousand People Pit Ghostly Land to jointly open the Celestial Pool Tomb!"
