Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 323 - 171: Land of Life and Death, Young Marshal of Iron Dragon Pass (Part 2)

Chapter 323: Chapter 171: Land of Life and Death, Young Marshal of Iron Dragon Pass (Part 2)

Xu Guang squinted his eyes and did not rebut; in fact, he had a vague suspicion as well.

The existence of the Ghostly Land and the elusive founder of the Celestial Destiny Sect, Xin Nanyan, seemed to point towards deeper secrets hidden within this world.

"It seems you have also vaguely discovered something. The appearance of Fierce Ghosts is rumored to have happened three thousand years ago, a time when Martial Dao was just beginning to sprout. The prevalent cultivation system was one known as the Qi Refiner system, which in today’s era, would be regarded as akin to Immortals."

Xu Guang looked at the other party, not quite understanding the purpose behind his words.

Wasn’t he here to learn about his so-called Supreme Sacred Body research?

"For some unknown reason, powerful Qi Refiners disappeared, and Fierce Ghosts began appearing on this land during that period. Martial Dao emerged during the mid-era of the Langya Dynasty, and it has developed for no more than two thousand years. Within the Daoist Sect, many theories are related to the once-vanished Qi Refiners."

Xu Guang frowned, finally understanding why Ji Yanran remarked about Zhong Baihua as erudite and otherworldly.

This old man seemed unreliable, but he truly knew a lot.

"Years ago, I discovered a very interesting place where the flow of time seemed accelerated several dozen times, one day there equating to a year or even longer outside. I began to suspect that it might be the birthplace of Fierce Ghosts and the real reason why Qi Refiners vanished."

Xu Guang’s expression finally changed.

"Have you seen a Qi Refiner?"

Zhong Baihua shook his head, "Mr. Zhuge from the Seal Sect discussed this with the Third Grade elder of our Ten Thousand Laws Sect ten years ago. It’s a place cursed by an Ancient God, where no one can become a Qi Refiner." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Xu Guang nodded, "What does all this have to do with the Supreme Sacred Body you mentioned?"

"It’s massively related. That mysterious place, which I call the Land of Life and Death, sees people and Fierce Ghosts as equals. Entering it, amidst life and death, one perceives the many connections between acupoints to obtain the renowned Alien Body!"

Xu Guang’s gaze turned peculiar, "Really... is it not just a deathtrap?"

A place with altered time flow, he had indeed witnessed at Lanshan, where plants withered and flourished in an instant.

The Five Elements Withering and Flourishing Cicada Dao he cultivated could also achieve immediate withering and flourishing, but essentially, it was different. The former was an abrupt lapse of time, whereas he only regulated the flourishing and withering of wood-based life aura.

Named withering and flourishing, but not in essence.

For the Land of Life and Death mentioned by Zhong Baihua, he reckoned it to be more dangerous than Lanshan.

Zhong Baihua sneered, "How can one achieve supreme strength without experiencing life and death? It’s a pity Xiaoyan Xun lost his youthful drive, otherwise, he would have been the best candidate... Now, honestly tell me, how old are you in bone age? The younger you are, the greater the possibility of becoming a Supreme Sacred Body."

Xu Guang did not answer this question, merely nodding, "Alright, after hearing your brazen boasting, can I have the manuscript of Three Divine Abilities Body now?"

Zhong Baihua huffed angrily, apparently not expecting Xu Guang to remain unmoved.

"Damn it, you boy... Fine, I keep my word. The manuscript of Divine Body - Smoke and Cloud Body is here, but..."

"Are you really not interested in becoming a Supreme Sacred Body?"

Xu Guang looked at him and revealed a cold smile, "If it were possible, would you still be boasting in front of me now?"

Zhong Baihua was momentarily stunned but abruptly stood up, "I’ll just let you see that I mean it... Heavenly Soldier, come!"

With that, he walked straight to the window, pointing towards Changwu Lake.

Xu Guang initially thought nothing would change.

But suddenly, he saw boundless Thunder Light converging over Changwu Lake, mixing with the waters, aggregating the dense fiendish aura, forming terrifying apparitions one after another.

The endless fiendish aura, enveloping all in heaven and earth, rapidly transformed into a gigantic shadow over ten zhang tall.

"This is... Divine Power Soldier Slaughter!"

The world became filled with a murderous chill.

In an instant, Xu Guang felt as if he stood on an ancient battlefield.

Standing ahead was Zhong Baihua, clearly alone, but behind him seemed an army of thousands.

He appeared as the master of the world’s fiendish aura, commanding the Soldier Fiend at his behest.

This is a famous divine technique from the Ten Thousand Laws Sect, and those who comprehend Soldier Killing Divine Power at Fourth Grade are highly likely to be a Commander-in-Chief at Iron Dragon Pass.

...

"What is that!?"

On the second floor.

While everyone was discussing some matters, they abruptly felt the changes happening on Changwu Lake.

Countless fiendish auras blended with Thunder Light, condensing into soldiers in the world.

Yan Xun, sitting at the head seat, kept his eyes fixed on the surface of Changwu Lake, and after a long while, slowly uttered two words.

"Soldier Fiend!"

Divine Power Soldier Slaughter!

Divine techniques have no rank, each possesses extraordinary and peculiar effects, and they are generally classified into top, middle, and lower grades.

Soldier Slaughter is undoubtedly a top-grade divine technique.

"Is it Elder Zhong?"

Ji Yanran’s expression was dazed as she softly inquired.

With a hint of a smile at the corners of his eyes, Yan Xun looked outside and nodded vigorously, "Everyone, follow me to greet the Commander-in-Chief of Iron Dragon Pass!"

This is a joyous occasion for Iron Dragon Pass and the Central Plains Three Paths and Six States.

A Commander-in-Chief who masters the Soldier Killing Divine Power could contend even with a Third Grade Celestial Sea within Iron Dragon Pass.

Moreover, it’s not as though the Central Plains lacks Third Grade experts.

Given his understanding of Zhong Baihua, even if he goes to Iron Dragon Pass, he wouldn’t just sit back idly, right?

Whether it’s a boon or bane is unknown.

But for now, seeing someone able to comprehend Soldier Fiend is certainly good news.

...

Xu Guang’s gaze towards Zhong Baihua finally changed.

"You... you’re a Fifth Grade, how can you wield Fourth Grade Divine Power?"

Zhong Baihua looked at Xu Guang with a sneer.
