Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 461 - 216: Two Ancient Gods, Xiangzi Returns to Kunlun, Kunlun Trembles (Part 3)
He didn’t dare to look too closely, fearing to attract the attention of those two Ancient Gods.
Even now, he couldn’t be sure whether the Ancient Gods thought like humans or if they possessed any wisdom.
In the distance, the two Ancient Gods seemed to be in a rage.
Thunder and fire swept through the entire Grey-White Relic Valley, turning it into a pool of thunder, with dazzling silver light like a mirror.
For a long time, the sky above the Grey-White Relic Valley finally fell into silence.
Xu Guang let out a long breath.
He looked at Olek’s corpse. This man, hailed as the number one warrior among the Barbarians and the future top expert among them, a figure who traversed the Barbarian Royal Court and many Barbarian tribes, enough to give the entire Iron Dragon Pass a headache, had fallen here.
It was somewhat lamentable.
Soon after, a young Barbarian priest who had been fleeing rapidly and searching for Demon Beasts with Olek, was overtaken by a shadow, and suddenly felt a chill throughout his body, before his consciousness fell into a haze.
Half a day later.
A grotesque corpse was hung above Iron Dragon Pass, becoming a specimen for everyone at Iron Dragon Pass to observe freely.
Xu Guang infiltrated Beyond the Border, personally killing Xu Guang, without even bringing his most capable assistant, General Wei. Alone, he ventured into Beyond the Border, which was the dream of many Jianghu people.
But unexpectedly, Xu Guang achieved it so effortlessly.
The fame of the Vice Commander of Iron Dragon Pass resonated through Yongzhou.
After this battle, Xu Guang’s fame spread far and wide, even reaching the distant Hai Province and Jingzhou, bearing tales of his deeds.
In fact, Xu Guang didn’t really like such spotlight, but thinking he might soon leave Li Taizhou, he simply let it be.
He had contributed much to Dragon Gate, and his reputation might bring some benefits to Dragon Gate in the future.
This time, he gained a clear understanding of his own strength.
Among Third Grade, there shouldn’t be many who could be his match.
With the issue of Olek resolved, the Barbarians naturally went into a frenzy, leading to several days of battle outside Iron Dragon Pass.
But all of this no longer concerned Xu Guang. He officially resigned from his position as Vice Commander of Iron Dragon Pass, intending to take Ah Wei to Kunlun to see his father.
Unexpectedly, if he were to venture out, Ah Wei would surely follow, not knowing how long before they could return to Kunlun.
Moreover, to speak practically, Ah Wei’s father came from Hongze, and he needed connections upon going there, being unfamiliar with the place.
Ah Wei was excited about the prospect of returning to his hometown.
It had been years since he was caught from the mountains and he hadn’t seen his mother.
As for his father, he had no impression of him.
Ah Wei’s father belonged to a very high tier, and it was an unexpected circumstance that led to Ah Wei’s birth. Although his father often had the elephants send things to them, Ah Wei hadn’t seen him in the months after his birth.
"Let’s go, and give those old elephants at Kunlun Mountain a big surprise!"
...
Several days later.
The chaos in the world became increasingly apparent.
Due to Ah Wei, he was recognized by people, receiving enthusiastic reception from various major city forces along the way.
Xu Guang walked across the official roads of South Wind Dao, encountering several challenges along the way.
But from beginning to end, few dared to challenge Xu Guang.
Xu Guang was now very famous, but along with his reputation, was his killer instinct.
There were those who counted his experiences and enemies along his journey,
finding that all who opposed him did not survive.
Just like Gongsun Wang, whom everyone knew was very strong, but few dared to challenge him at the Ten Thousand Laws Sect, simply because he had killed enough people.
Similarly, although Xu Guang was young, the strong and the Barbarians who had died at his hands were countless. Even in Iron Dragon Pass, few had killed more Barbarians than he.
A month later.
"Is this Kunlun Mountain?"
The earth stretched across eight wilds, with mountains joining constellations, dragon’s spine piercing through earth and sky, Dragon Vein locked to the azure heavens.
Truly magnificent.
Xu Guang stood at the end of South Wind Dao, looking at the mist-shrouded Kunlun Mountain in the distance, feeling a sense of insignificance in the face of such majestic mountains; no one could dismiss it.
This was the tallest, largest mountain range in all of Li Taizhou, and the most magnificent mountain range in the Northern Six States of Hongze. It was once renowned in the times of Purple Dipper.
It was named after the days when a Fire-Raising Divine King of Kunlun State in Hongze saw the vast range, comparable to the Holy Mountain of Kunlun State, and it was granted the name Kunlun.
The name had been passed down ever since.
Ah Wei was a bit excited, lifting his long trunk, feeling a sense of returning in glory. His aura surged, his body swelling, reverting to his true form.
Xu Guang watched with a smiling face.
Ang!
A roar echoed throughout Kunlun.
Ah Wei excitedly responded.
He could clearly feel a bloodline connection from the source of that roar; it must be his father.
Even though he had never seen his father, the bloodline bond within the Ancient Elephant Clan made him unable to contain his excitement.
He couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement, thinking about how surprised his stern father, as his mother described, would be to see him now.
He couldn’t wait to enter the mountain.
Using his long trunk, he picked up the small Xu Guang beside him, tossing him onto his back, and then jogged into Kunlun Mountain.
...
At dawn.
The sky was dim.
At the foot of Kunlun Mountain, Mou Zhen emerged from the mountain, looking at the drifting white mist, expressionless, but there was a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.
"Zhen’er, you are indeed extraordinary, but you chose the wrong opponent. News from Yongzhou came a few days ago, that Xu Guang slew the number one Barbarian warrior, Olek. Ordinary Third Grade are no match for him anymore."
The speaker was his teacher. When he returned from Jiufeng Mountain back in the day, he had always been dissatisfied with being suppressed by Xu Guang in the Ten Thousand People Pit Ghostly Land; at that time, he was at the Peak of Innate, with achievements in killing Fifth Grade enemies.
And Xu Guang had broken through to Fifth Grade ahead of him.
He had thought that the difference between himself and Xu Guang was due to the gap before and after the breakthrough, but having been overshadowed by Xu Guang back then, he was very unwilling.
Over the years, he had always regarded Xu Guang as his goal.
However, constant news about Xu Guang came from outside the mountain.
Until today, the words spoken by his teacher were like a heavy hammer, striking hard at his heart.
His face carried bitterness, but the unwillingness in his heart had long disappeared without a trace.
Years had passed, and as a True Inheritor of the Dianyin Sect, he had an annual Golden Core quota, yet he had hardly reached the threshold of a Three-Metamorphosis Zhenren. But Xu Guang...
had already shaken the world as a Third Grade expert.
Even though he had not truly broken through to Third Grade, how many in the world today regarded him as a Fourth-Grade expert?
"Disciple... understands."
Master Ci Yun gently stroked his long beard, a trace of pity in his eyes.
Mou Zhen had great talent, but his mindset was always somewhat lacking.
Having been overshadowed by Xu Guang, perhaps he might take this opportunity to restore his determination.
He had great confidence in Mou Zhen’s mindset.
Suddenly, a loud roar vibrated through, as if the whole of Kunlun was trembling.
Master Ci Yun’s expression changed slightly, "Is it that Great Beast?"
"Mou Zhen, you cultivate well, I’m going to find the Sect Leader."
The Demon Beast Dominator in Kunlun Mountain, even Zhuge Wuliang could not take lightly; each time it awakened, it was a matter that gave the Dianyin Sect a headache.
He dared not imagine what turbulence would ensue if that Dominator indeed came forth from Kunlun Mountain.
...
In the distance, with that roar, the entire Kunlun Mountain came alive.
A Fire Dragon emerged from a cave, looking warily in the direction of the roar, even feeling a sense of avoidance.
It twisted its somewhat plump body and slipped into a crevice leading to the underground magma, intending to sleep in the magma for the next three years.
On a distant mountain, a few graceful pure white tigresses were grooming a huge black tiger, but upon hearing the roar, their fur bristled as if triggered, and they turned to run.
One dragon, one tiger, one elephant, were recognized as the three great dominators of Kunlun Mountain, all top-notch Demon Beasts beyond Second Grade.
But only these two Demon Beast Dominators knew, in front of that Old Elephant, they weren’t worth a damn!
The true dominator of Kunlun Mountain, there always and has only ever been one, as long as that Old Elephant is alive, what beast dares call itself Dominator?
What’s that old creature going crazy for?
...
