Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 384 - 383: The Hidden Past of Ancestor Danxia

Chapter 384: Chapter 383: The Hidden Past of Ancestor Danxia

Next, the two chatted for a while longer, and then Gu Yuan respectfully took his leave.

To be honest, today’s trip was truly worthwhile...

First, the Copper Cauldron given by Ancestor Danxia, especially the Sword Intent left within the sword mark by the Primordial Spirit True Immortal. This alone is a treasure that wouldn’t be easy to buy even for a million Spirit Stones!

This holds great significance for Gu Yuan.

With this item, Gu Yuan’s grasp of uplifting the prototype of Great Divine Techniques in swordsmanship increased!

Then there’s Ancestor Danxia’s guidance to Gu Yuan in cultivation and alchemy, all based on the ancestor’s own experiences, equally important.

Furthermore, today’s trip to Zhurong Peak surely couldn’t be hidden from those with keen eyes.

This also signifies that from now on, Gu Yuan’s every move will be under the scrutiny of Ancestor Danxia and other senior figures, potentially reducing a lot of trouble.

Moreover, those with ulterior motives might restrain themselves significantly.

However, after leaving the main hall, Gu Yuan sighed.

He exchanged greetings with Daoist Child Qingfeng, saluted Venerable Black Dragon, and then began descending the mountain along the path.

The sigh was because Gu Yuan had detected a problem with Ancestor Danxia earlier.

He guessed right, that ancestor might indeed have something amiss.

Memory loss, or perhaps being forgetful, might not be a big deal for ordinary people.

But for cultivators, it certainly isn’t normal.

Every cultivator has already begun their journey from the Extraordinary to Saint, undergoing transformation.

Thus, their memory is often excellent.

As for figures like Ancestor Danxia, having already cultivated the Yang Spirit, even if their physical bodies are destroyed, they can still survive in the world.

Regarding memory, they undoubtedly possess extraordinary recall; describing the ancestor as having photographic memory is undervaluing them.

It could even be said that even if Ancestor Danxia suffers severe injuries, as long as a trace of the Divine Soul remains, issues like memory loss shouldn’t occur.

However, when memory problems arise in a Yang Spirit powerhouse, that’s definitely no ordinary issue.

This means there’s absolutely something going on!

Gu Yuan’s heart felt heavy, uncharacteristically worried.

Medicine King Mountain has two Yang Spirit powerhouses, one from the family faction and one from the sect faction.

Currently, although the sect faction appears weaker, they haven’t openly conflicted with the family faction.

In such circumstances, if Ancestor Danxia truly has a problem, it would be an earth-shattering event!

For Medicine King Mountain, it holds enormous implications for Gu Yuan himself and the entirety of the sect faction.

...

After descending the mountain, Gu Yuan headed to Luoxia Mountain.

Instead of returning to his own Cave Mansion, he went directly to the Cave Mansion of his master, He Ling True Master.

He Ling True Master seemed to have anticipated Gu Yuan’s arrival; the stone door of the Cave Mansion was open, with no others around.

"Come in."

As Gu Yuan approached, He Ling True Master’s voice came from inside the Cave Mansion.

"Yes."

Gu Yuan nodded and entered the Cave Mansion.

He Ling True Master’s Cave Mansion was spacious, with a Spatial Array set up inside, making the area appear vast.

However, as a genuine Sword Cultivator, He Ling True Master didn’t emphasize luxurious enjoyment; he was essentially a rare ascetic cultivator.

Emphasizing cultivation over luxury.

Therefore, though the Cave Mansion had a large area, it was simple and unadorned.

Only some spirit flowers placed in corners and by the windows exuded a light fragrance, bringing ease to the heart.

As for He Ling True Master, he stood by the window, hands behind his back, gazing at the distant mountains.

"Master."

Gu Yuan saluted.

"Done talking with the ancestor?"

He Ling True Master didn’t turn around.

"Indeed, the ancestor assisted this disciple with some matters."

Gu Yuan mentioned the earlier events but didn’t reveal all the details.

Regarding what Ancestor Danxia had told him, He Ling True Master likely wouldn’t inquire further.

As expected, He Ling True Master didn’t ask, instead turning to say, "Do you have something you’d like to discuss?"

While saying this, his eyes fixed on Gu Yuan, unusually showing seriousness.

"This disciple does have one question."

Though hesitant and aware of certain things, Gu Yuan earnestly spoke of his doubt, "Ancestor Danxia seems..."

After a moment of deliberation, he continued, "Seems a bit forgetful; Master, what’s the matter?"

Upon hearing, He Ling True Master remained silent, averting his gaze.

Only after a substantial tea break did he wave his hand to activate the restriction in the Cave Mansion, saying, "The ancestor was an exceptionally talented figure, with a chance of achieving the Primordial Spirit True Immortal."

Gu Yuan didn’t respond, just quietly listened.

What He Ling True Master said was evident; would mediocrity ever reach the Yang Spirit powerhouse level?

Of course not!

Only extraordinarily rare talents could reach such a realm.

He Ling True Master continued, "A thousand years ago, the ancestor sensed an opportunity and, as his life span dwindled, chose to break through."

"However, during the breakthrough, an accident occurred."

At this point, He Ling True Master paused his tone.

"At that time, a mysterious Yang Spirit powerhouse attacked the ancestor."

"The ancestor himself was not severely hurt, but as he was in a critical breakthrough moment, being disrupted inevitably led to some issues, even affecting his Yang Spirit."

"Now, over a thousand years later, the ancestor’s injuries have mostly healed, but a few remain."

"Precisely due to these lingering injuries, the ancestor began studying the Alchemy Dao, intending to concoct a legendary Spirit Pill to heal his wounds and advance his cultivation further!"

Gu Yuan fell silent.

He Ling True Master didn’t continue the conversation.

Yet, Gu Yuan discerned something from what He Ling True Master said.

As a Yang Spirit powerhouse, aiming to break through to the Primordial Spirit True Immortal Realm signifies immense benefit for Medicine King Mountain!

Because should Medicine King Mountain have a Primordial Spirit True Immortal, the entire Southern Border Cultivation Realm’s dynamics would drastically change!

But for the Gu God Sect, Star River Sword Sect, and other Southern Border forces, it might not necessarily be welcome.

Especially for certain individuals within Medicine King Mountain, it might not be good news.

Thus, the emergence of this mysterious Yang Spirit powerhouse was suspicious!

Gu Yuan thought of another point.

As a Yang Spirit powerhouse, Ancestor Danxia surely had an assessment of the situation and made predictions.

Therefore, upon closing for breakthroughs, he must have made arrangements.
