Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 251 - 146: The Road Ahead

He loved asking Han Gong some questions.

But rarely got answers.

"Han Gong, can you tell me, what went wrong when my father contacted Shen Chong back then? I was young at that time, but I remember my father’s mood was good.

It was like something happened overnight, Shen Chong left for Buddhist Teachings, my father was killed. What exactly happened then?"

Han Gong continued to be silent.

Until Li Qian, in disappointment, suddenly heard Han Gong speak.

"Some things cannot be told to you now, but some things can be told. Shen Chong went to Buddhist Teachings to avoid disaster."

Li Qian was taken aback, there were rumors Shen Chong was already at Third Grade, yet he went to avoid disaster?

What disaster was there to avoid?

Han Gong said no more.

Some things he only half-understood, after all...

To date, he’s only Fifth Grade.

He wandered for over two hundred years, found several chances to become an Alien Body, but always felt they were insufficient.

Silently looking at Li Qian.

Perhaps...

Breaking through to Fourth Grade, he should at least protect Crown Prince Rongze’s line for one last journey, despite the road ahead being completely cut off.

...

Boom!

Xu Guang punched out, Qi Force stirred the black and red blood mist in the air, constantly swirling a few meters in front of him.

Shattering a cliff-like Fierce Ghost before him, flesh and blood splattered but suddenly dissipated before striking his body.

Everything seemed like an illusion.

General Teng skillfully picked up the Ghost Heart and a fragment containing Spirituality that dropped after the Fierce Ghost was annihilated, placing them into the Beast Skin Pocket at General Wei’s waist.

Xu Guang surveyed the surroundings. This Ghostly Land formed by the cliff Fierce Ghost was close to the Blood River, with its annihilation and the terrain’s discrepancies, forming a waterfall over twenty meters high.

"We’ll stay here for now. The position of the Ghostly Land formed by the Fifth-Grade Fierce Ghost isn’t bad."

General Wei had no objections.

In the Ghostly Land, many things were inconvenient.

General Teng needed sunlight and starlight, but in the Ghostly Land, only starlight could be received, and the energy he could get daily was minimal.

This was also why Ah Wei didn’t act.

Its body was too large, and it consumed much energy. Without enough food, it’s best to avoid acting if possible.

Ah Wei was somewhat dissatisfied.

After all, it was only four years old this year, still in a lively and active age, unable to accept the days of staying motionless all day to reduce consumption.

Xu Guang himself also needed experience, but in such a ghostly place, his channels for improving experience were not many, and each day the experience gained was only around one to two thousand points, far from the million-plus experience needed for a career upgrade.

However, the immediate priority was to solve General Wei’s food problem.

"I’ll take a look around the Blood River."

The last time he perceived the Five Elements Withering and Flourishing Cicada, he seemed to discover some anomalies at the riverbed of the Blood River, perhaps there were Treasure Medicines and Demon Beast Alien Species present.

Stepping out, like a Flood Dragon turning, leaving trails of residual shadows in place.

Silence surrounded the Blood River, without any sound, Xu Guang entered with a step.

Numerous lone souls and wild ghosts, unable to gather into physical bodies, turned to ash upon nearing him, and he didn’t even bother to pick up these Ghost Hearts, just constantly diving down in the Blood River.

Gurgling bubbles floated upwards, a bloody scene before him, only towards the bottom, Xu Guang was surprised to find the color of the water was no longer so red.

Faintly bringing a normal eerie blue.

The Blood River wasn’t too deep, only seven or eight meters, with light blue water plants growing at the bottom, swaying constantly as the river water flowed like living creatures waving and clawing, swaying endlessly.

Xu Guang pulled out one, put it into his mouth and chewed.

A faint bitter taste exploded in his mouth, like the gall of a small animal, mixed with some grass sweetness.

In sum, non-toxic.

These water plants, Ah Wei should like to eat.

Better search more.

Having caught a Water Cicada, Xu Guang had no issues breathing underwater, and his combat power wasn’t reduced much.

At a place where strong currents surged, Xu Guang discovered a rift, his sixth sense sent no strange feelings.

Xu Guang began to dive down.

The water grew deeper, the surrounding light dimmer.

Gradually Xu Guang saw nothing before him, relying only on Divine Thought to observe his surroundings, only an eerie red light from above.

The water pressure thick, the refraction effect increasingly poor.

The surrounding water temperature gradually became bone-chilling.

Xu Guang felt fine, as the Sea-Overturning True Skill inherently had cold resistance; the Qi Force it generated also carried a trace of chill.

This bit of coldness had very little impact on his movements.

But those lone souls and wild ghosts seemed unable to appear in such intense cold.

Gradually, the cold intensified, and the water pressure increased.

Xu Guang felt he had dived at least four hundred meters, already starting to unfold the Gang Qi barrier, completely blocking the penetrating cold outside his body.

Finally, he had a feeling of reaching the bottom.

Beside him was a dark rock wall, slippering, covered with all kinds of strange underwater plants, these plants growing under such intense cold and pressure aren’t ordinary.

They had already developed some Spirituality, at least all were Innate Treasure Medicines. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Xu Guang drove his five fingers into the dark rock wall, picking these Treasure Medicines one by one.

He didn’t expect such a harvest at the bottom, at least twenty-three types of unseen Innate Treasure Medicines, the quantity nearing a hundred.

Possibly, by understanding their properties later, some Elixirs with miraculous effects could be researched.

Suddenly, nearby, a dark red thing the size of a barrel slowly floated over from the darker world.

Xu Guang froze, carefully extending his Divine Thought to observe.

This barrel-sized dark red thing slowly revealed its full shape.
