Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 308 - 166: Ancient God Blood

Xu Guang thought for a moment and directly threw the Mountain Demon’s Inner Core to Ah Wei.

This thing could also be used in alchemy, but alchemy was only meant to get rid of the evil demonic power within it. For Ah Wei, eating the Inner Core raw would suffice.

Ah Wei showed a happy smile,

Xu Guang suddenly thought of something, "Ah Wei, in that world, can’t you summon General Teng?"

This was something Xu Guang had wanted to ask during Ah Wei’s battle with the Mountain Demon.

Ah Wei nodded.

Xu Guang pondered. His presence in that world was like a glitch. Although General Teng originally belonged to that Dark World, upon entering this world, he seemed to have undergone some unknown change.

Although he appeared to have become stronger, he lost the power to enter the Dark World?

Next time, try if the Traveler’s professional characteristics can be applied to General Teng.

Otherwise, it’s a pity that General Teng can’t participate in such large battles.

Next, he handled the items left by the Mountain Demon: three huge Purple Crystals, which should count as Fourth-Grade Treasures. With sufficient forging technology, they could form parts of Fourth-Grade Divine Weapons.

For now, just let those things gather dust in the warehouse.

As for that Bronze Fragment, Xu Guang carefully examined the Immortal Register on it but found nothing, though it shouldn’t be the character ’Thunder’.

Besides that, there were the offerings prepared by Hanshang for him.

Tens of thousands of Spirit Crystals, though the Yin Qi in them seemed a bit dense, would take time to expel.

Dozens of Demon Beast materials that barely reached the Innate Level, mostly things like shells and casts abandoned by Demon Beasts.

It counts as a harvest too.

This time’s offerings left Xu Guang very satisfied.

Having dealt with the spoils, he thought of Hanshang.

This time, when fighting the Mountain Demon, the Divine Thought Power from the Divine Descent didn’t leave much residual energy, which was only enough for setting up a not-too-big Feng Shui Array with the Twenty-four Sword Qi and Stars.

The rest of the power was used to teach his Martial Dao to Hanshang.

His Martial Dao cultivation till now was the best among all his current professions.

He had long organized his Martial Dao, even being able to create his own Martial Arts.

What he gave Hanshang was indeed the Martial Dao inheritance he had summarized from years of cultivation, starting from the Entry Grade Pile Skill and going up to Innate Realm’s Divine Thought Cultivation Method.

With the strangeness of the Dark World, it wouldn’t be long until they meet again, when he would give Hanshang additional guidance so that those people wouldn’t be powerless against Fierce Ghosts and Demons.

...

Outside the city.

Ji Yanran’s expression was serious as she had already seen the note in Song Ruyu’s hand.

Run quickly...

Who brought it? Was it a warning to her?

Who brought the danger? Barbarians? Or something else?

"Miss Ji, have the Barbarians really come?"

Master Mo, who was usually imposing in the city, was now speaking hesitantly, seeming frightened, and was shaking all over.

Ji Yanran remained silent and shook her head gently.

"It’s uncertain for now."

Hu Yingxiong, young in age but with a fiery temper, blurted out, "Find those Barbarian Dogs and just kill them..."

The others glanced at him speechlessly.

Does your father know you’re this bold at the Innate Level?

Xu Fang whispered from the side, "Miss Ji, should we inform the old ancestor about this? Maybe let the elder help too?"

Ji Yanran thought for a moment and shook her head. "Forget it, Master Xu is too old now. Just inform him, but there’s no need to have him come out."

Xu Fang nodded.

Song Ruyun, eyebrows furrowed, carefully surveyed the surroundings and whispered.

"Senior Sister, could the Barbarians be targeting you?"

Ji Yanran looked at her.

Song Ruyun continued, "The Beast God Species appeared in Tie’an County, one can deduce that at first the Barbarians intended to act against Tie’an County. But because you discovered it and killed the Beast God Species, even causing a stir in Chifeng Prefecture, the Barbarians disappeared again.

As for Chiyao County, it’s also under your protection. I think it’s not just a coincidence.

You ruined their plans, maybe they are really aiming to retaliate against you."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yanran frowned, then suddenly took a step forward, "I’d like to see what means these Barbarians have to dare strike at me."

"Senior Sister..."

It must be said that in a troubled area like Yongzhou, even women carry an air of heroism.

"We are willing to follow Senior Sister!"

Cui Fan stepped forward, swallowing Song Ruyun’s words of dissuasion.

The surrounding disciples of Guanghan Hall immediately clasped their fists.

"We are willing to follow Senior Sister and slaughter Barbarian Dogs!"

...

In the Martial Arts Academy.

Xu Guang listened to Xu Fang’s words, his Divine Thought extended, ’seeing’ the conversation between Ji Yanran and the many disciples of Guanghan Hall.

His expression was somewhat complicated.

He let out a light sigh.

"Old Ancestor, I suspect the note was sent by someone collaborating with the Barbarian Dogs."

Xu Fang, being the Sect Leader of Red Flame Sect, was naturally no fool. Although his Martial Dao was perhaps limited by resources and other objective conditions, in terms of understanding human nature, he was no less perceptive than Xu Guang.

Xu Guang nodded, he had the same suspicion.

He even speculated on the identity of those collaborating with the Barbarians; they should be from the Celestial Destiny Sect.

The Celestial Destiny Sect in Yongzhou had really fallen off, incomparable to someone like Master Zouchuan Dao Nanxuan ascending to Master of the Dragon Gate, it was nothing but a complete waste.

"Since they could communicate all the way to Chiyao County, you must not be far from Chiyao County yourself?"

...

Chiyao County was not an untainted land; in such a small county, the wealth gap under extraordinary circumstances was huge.

The smaller the place, the more the poor; the level of poverty exceeded imagination.

In a dilapidated temple seven or eight miles outside Chiyao County.

This was where all the beggars and wanderers of Chiyao County gathered; it had long been the most chaotic place in Chiyao County, synonymous with darkness, narrowness, and ugliness.

After the Patriarch of Red Flame Sect returned, he displayed the intention to give back to the birthplace. To keep up, the five major families in the city served porridge here, though it couldn’t solve the survival problems of these people thoroughly, it was better than before.

The sound of footsteps slowly approached through the wind and snow.

The incoming gust of cold wind startled the people wrapped in straw mats in the dilapidated temple. They lifted their heads one by one, their gazes fierce.

Feng Buping’s eyes flashed with disgust as he looked at their faces.

Truly filthy!

In this state, you serve no purpose in living.

He walked in without concern, several strange blood-colored beads appearing in his hand, shadows inside seeming to house some living creature.

The ferocity in the eyes of those beggars and wanderers vanished, and they slowly fell into sleep, as if nothing had ever happened.

’Tomorrow, once you enter the city, these Beast God Species should pose quite a threat, shouldn’t they?’

Feng Buping murmured to himself.

He was a very conflicted person, doing the dirtiest deeds, yet seemed to have some pity deep inside.

He thought that if he hadn’t joined the Celestial Destiny Sect in his early years and been so constrained, he would surely have been a good person.

"So, is it really like this that Beast God Species should be nurtured?"

A ghostly voice came from outside the ruined temple.

Soon, he saw an... old man?

Feng Buping’s eyes showed a hint of ferocity, "Seeking death!"

He punched forward, his whole body surrounded by Qi Force, with the strength of a Second Shedding Zhenren, seemingly wanting to completely demolish this ruined temple.

Xu Guang looked at Feng Buping indifferently, thinking that before coming to Chiyao County, such strength would indeed have caught his attention.

But now...

The Martial Master’s Might suddenly condensed, Feng Buping’s Qi was compressed to a very small area, and then suddenly disappeared without influencing even a speck of dust in the temple.

Meanwhile, in his shocked gaze, the old man took a step forward like a ghost.

A palm!

As air seemed to flow between his fingers, a palm seal accompanied his descending hand, heavily crashing onto Feng Buping’s head.

With a booming sound.

Feng Buping knelt down, his forehead bleeding, his entire demeanor languishing.

"You!!"

A look of horror filled his eyes, what kind of power is this?

Even a Three-Metamorphosis Zhenren couldn’t be this terrifying, right?

Xu Guang extended a hand, "Let me see."

Feng Buping was stunned, then thought of something, respectfully placing the six Beast God Species into the old man’s broad palm.

[Martial Artist’s Log: You’ve acquired the aura of the Blood of the Ancient God, after merging with the Ancient Divine Bloodline, you can advance to Extraordinary, raising your profession advancement evaluation]

Xu Guang was stunned, he hadn’t expected this Blood of the Ancient God to indeed be a medium for professional advancement to Extraordinary.

He looked at Feng Buping.

"From the Celestial Destiny Sect?"

Before this immensely terrifying old man, Feng Buping could only feel an unimaginably vast and terrifying aura, unable to discern its depth, coupled with the frightening presence surrounding the man.

He smiled bitterly inside.

Ji Yanran, this woman, Guanghan Hall really values her, sending out a Fourth-Grade Expert.

"Right Envoy under Master Youquan of the Celestial Destiny Sect—Feng Buping, greeting the elder."

In front of such an elder, being respectful might just afford him a chance to survive.

"Was that letter sent to Ji Yanran by you?"

Feng Buping nodded.

Xu Guang was slightly surprised.

He hadn’t expected that within the Celestial Destiny Sect, there truly were people with a hint of conscience left?

"In the Celestial Destiny Sect, betrayers are few, can you tell me why? Can someone like you survive?"

Feng Buping cooperated well, smiled bitterly and said,

"The elder truly understands our Celestial Destiny Sect well, every one of us who joins the sect must go to Kunlun to swear an oath, once we betray, our entire body’s Qi Force dissipates, Gold Attribute withdraws..."

"A curse?" Xu Guang frowned and asked.

Feng Buping shook his head, "I don’t know."

"How many descendants of the Li Family’s Royal blood do each of you need to kill?"

Feng Buping suddenly looked up, staring at Xu Guang with an incredibly surprised look.

This was the Celestial Destiny Sect’s greatest secret; he hadn’t expected Xu Guang to know?

"You... elder, how do you know?"

Xu Guang did not answer.

Feng Buping understood; if someone asked him, he had to respond, he didn’t have the qualifications to ask Xu Guang questions.

"By looking at cultivation, those at Minister Level need to kill at least ten, those above Master level must annihilate an entire line, and above that... there are the Left and Right Sect Leaders, I don’t know... perhaps unless the Li Family’s Royal bloodline is completely exterminated, they can finally attain freedom."

Listening to his explanation, Xu Guang finally understood everything.

He slowly reached out, "To be able to tell me so much, you do seem like a good person."

A trace of joy flashed in Feng Buping’s eyes.

But then Xu Guang continued.

"There is a tribulation called Lifeless Tribulation; if you endure it, I will acknowledge you as a good person."

Feng Buping’s joy froze on his face.

Just about to speak.

Xu Guang’s palm was already pressed against his forehead.

’This tribulation tests nature.’

...

Feng Buping went mad.

The Gold Attribute was completely annihilated, Lifeless Tribulation was a method using Divine Thought Power to utterly destroy a person’s divine thought, turning them into a puppet.

Evidently, Xu Guang failed.

He merely destroyed Feng Buping’s intellect, with his body’s Gold Attribute completely disappearing.

Xu Guang frowned and stared at Feng Buping for a long time before reaching out again.

"Forget it, you as a madman are more frightening than when you were alive."

...

In the Martial Arts Academy.

Xu Guang quietly kneaded the Beast God Species in his hands.

According to Feng Buping, these can quickly hatch into what they call Beast God Species once planted in human flesh.

These Beast God Species grow very fast, because their power essentially comes from the so-called Blood of the Ancient God, they merely need enough flesh to quickly grow.

Feng Buping said that over a hundred thousand lives in Qiutang County had already allowed Viduo to breed two Beast God Species of Fifth Grade.

However, Beast God Species care not for friend or foe, Viduo merely uses the so-called Summoning Technique to suppress them.

Xu Guang smiled slightly.

These Beast God Species are indeed pure war weapons.

Gently kneading the six Beast God Species in his hand, this thing must be quite precious among the Barbarian Race too?

This Little Barbarian King Viduo of Iron-Stripping seems to hold high status among barbarians.

Perhaps...

He truly had a chance to touch that Ancient God Blood.
