Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 487 - 224: Taotie, Treasure Gained, Swallowing Heaven True Skill Initiation (3)
If one can comprehend it, it could be considered a fine reward.
Three months flew by in the blink of an eye.
Every day, besides arduous training, was spent accompanying Jiang Zi Yun and General Wei.
Occasionally, I would go out to gather some news, such as the appearances of demons above Third Grade.
In the Void Realm, Xu Guang’s exploration was also progressing gradually, beginning to delve into the Third Level, where Xu Guang discovered traces of Void Beasts several times and also found some Void Crystals.
Walking out of the room.
Xu Guang, clad in black, with a tiger skin cloak billowing in the wind, floated in the air, the wind whipping around him.
Standing atop a mountain peak, he looked out over the sea more than ten miles away.
Ah Wei seemed to sense his gaze and emerged from the water, letting out a low growl towards him.
Xu Guang smiled slightly.
Determining that General Wei’s condition was good, Xu Guang descended the mountain and arrived at a tavern.
Chen Jing was already waiting.
"Why are you in such a hurry to find me? Is something the matter?"
Chen Jing looked a bit tense, "Sect Leader Xu, it seems someone in Shangjing is investigating you."
Xu Guang squinted his eyes, "Do you have any information?"
Hesitating, Chen Jing asked softly, "At the start of that auction, a legitimate son of the Liu Family from Shangjing suddenly died on Qixia Island, and someone said he had a conflict with you before his death..."
Xu Guang recalled it, and indeed there seemed to be such a small incident.
He frowned, "Next time we meet, give me a position."
He didn’t like such trivial matters, and if possible, he preferred to nip them in the bud.
Chen Jing nodded.
After getting to know Xu Guang, he investigated a lot of information about Xu Guang, knowing that this man was indeed ruthless.
After parting with Chen Jing.
Xu Guang returned home to continue studying the magic within several Magical Treasures.
Two more days passed.
Chen Jing did not come, but Xiu Miaoran from the Celestial Yin Sect did.
"Brother Xu, what have you decided about what we discussed some time ago? That Chaos Void Beast is about to appear again, and time waits for no one."
This time Xu Guang fell into hesitation.
Void Beasts have a very clear pattern of activity, often lying dormant in a certain place in the Void Realm for several years or even decades without moving, making them nearly impossible to find.
Only when they enter their active phase is it the best time for hunting.
He certainly did not want to miss such an event.
"May I ask Brother Xu, besides you and me, who else is involved?"
Xu Miaoran did not hide anything, "Xiang Yun from the Dianyin Sect, my junior brother Liu Yangzi from the Celestial Yin Sect, Mr. Qiu Zhen from Guanxia Mountain, and an old friend of mine who is inconvenient to reveal himself. Initially, there was also Gongsun Wang from the Ten Thousand Laws Sect, but Mr. Gongsun went out to sea with several experts and has not returned, so he recommended you to me."
Xu Guang thought for a moment, "Alright, but can the timing be determined?"
Xu Miaoran smiled wryly, "Although the activities of the Void Beast have some regular patterns, it is very hard to grasp the specific time, so we might need to take turns waiting in the Void Realm."
After much deliberation, Xu Guang decided to agree.
Even if he couldn’t successfully hunt it this time, it would at least be experience in hunting Void Beasts.
Regarding the Liu Family in Shangjing, Chen Jing sent news ten days later, that the Liu Family seemed to accept the silent loss, and it was even heard that they intended to send some gifts to Xu Guang.
Xu Guang just chuckled.
He began preparing for the hunt for the Void Beast with Xu Miaoran and others.
According to the plan, every day for twenty-four hours, at least one of the five of them had to be in the Void Realm observing the movements of the Chaos Void Beast, and once discovered, immediately notify the others.
Qiu Zhen from Guanxia Mountain provided each of them a White Han Jade Pill in case they fall into a stalemate during the battle with the Void Beast and end up failing.
Of course, the Elixirs aren’t free.
Which means, before even starting the hunt, a substantial investment was needed.
Xu Guang didn’t begrudge it too much.
By the end of November.
In the room.
Xu Guang’s pores opened all over his body, and streams of Qi Force coursed through the pores, Five Elements light flowing, radiant.
He lightly released all of his Qi Force, slithering through the room like a giant python, roaming unrestrained.
Suddenly paused.
With one breath, Xu Guang’s pores seemed to transform into terrifyingly massive mouths, devouring all the Qi Force in the air.
In a blink, the Qi Force was retrieved back into his body.
Then he took out a Void Crystal, holding it in his hand.
In a few breaths, the Void Crystal crumbled into powder in his palm.
’Is this the effect of the First Layer of the Swallowing Heaven True Skill refined with the Taotie Void Core? The effect of refining the Void Crystal has significantly improved. Every part of the body can rapidly absorb Spirit Charm from the air. In the Void Realm, the absorption speed of Spirit Charm is increased by fifty percent, not to mention a thirty percent increase in total Qi Force within the body, with faster recovery rates...’
Xu Guang wore a satisfied smile.
With Swallowing Heaven True Skill mastered, he truly felt undefeated within the Third Grade Martial Artist realm.
High Qi Force capacity (greater total Qi Force), high vitality (enhanced by Divine Techniques through training soldiers and feedback from General Wei), high attack power (Extreme Soul Power with four Divine Techniques), quick body technique (Blood Rain Divine Technique and Silence Divine Power), the only downside, should be pursuit speed.
Being undefeatable in the Third Grade, only some Third Grade experts with absolute speed Divine Techniques or Secret Techniques have a chance to escape from him.
Xu Guang was satisfied with his current strength.
Having mastered the Swallowing Heaven True Skill, coupled with an extended stay on Qixia Island, gaining a deeper understanding of the Third Grade realm, his methods for improvement have also become more diverse.
Xu Guang found that his improvements in the Third Grade realm were not as difficult as he imagined.
...
Several days later.
There is a volcano on Qixia Island.
This volcano hasn’t erupted in many years, but every few years, it undergoes an anomaly like it is about to erupt at any moment.
This is the influence of the Chaos Void Beast on the mortal realm.
According to Xu Miaoran’s observation, the eruption cycle of the volcano coincides exactly with the activity pattern of the Chaos Void Beast.
Void Beasts moving in the Void Realm can influence the mortal realm, causing various strange natural disasters and meteorological changes.
After observing for a while at the crater, everyone finally gathered.
With Xu Miaoran’s introduction, Xu Guang made the acquaintance of Xiang Yun from the Dianyin Sect, Qiu Zhen from Guanxia Mountain, and Liu Yangzi from the Celestial Yin Sect one by one.
"Brother, isn’t there an old friend of yours as well?"
Xu Miaoran smiled, "His identity is somewhat special, and it’s not convenient for him to show up recklessly, but rest assured, everyone, he will definitely appear once we enter the Void Realm."
"Alright, as the day of Void Beast activity draws nearer, let’s enter the Void Realm, gather under the Merit List, and first familiarize ourselves with each other’s Divine Soul aura."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The Void Realm is dreamlike and mystical, with varied spatial distortions, making it difficult for even two people sitting face to face to encounter each other within it.
Fortunately, there is the Merit List as a coordinate.
Only by being thoroughly familiar with each other’s Divine Soul aura could one find the other without needing to rely on coordinates.
Similar to...
Adding a ’friend’ in the Void Realm?
