Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 336 - 175: Nine Layers of Qi Refining, Nine Secret Realms, Ascension to Heaven, Nine Sacred Bodies

Chapter 336: Chapter 175: Nine Layers of Qi Refining, Nine Secret Realms, Ascension to Heaven, Nine Sacred Bodies

Purple Star Xin Nanyan, these five words were like a thunderbolt cutting through the sky, shaking one’s soul and leaving Xu Guang dumbfounded.

Quickly, he reacted, instinctively retreating dozens of steps, his face heavy as he watched the other.

"Greetings, senior."

Xin Nanyan only looked up and down at Xu Guang, his eyes seeming to pierce through to the heart, seeing all of Xu Guang’s secrets.

"I once thought my perseverance was meaningless, but now that I see you, suddenly, I feel that everything was worth it."

Xin Nanyan spoke again, his voice weak, as if most of his Heart Spirit was being constrained by something.

"What does senior mean by this?"

He remained on guard.

Since learning the name Xin Nanyan, he was filled with caution. A person so ruthless that he seemed bent on overturning the entire Central Plains to destroy the Li Family—facing such a person, how could one relax?

"You need not fear me. What you see now is but a fragment of my true spirit, wandering alone in this Ancient God World... a wild ghost."

Xu Guang’s expression was strange.

Who are you trying to fool?

A remnant of true spirit? Even if it’s just a piece, for someone at least First Grade or beyond, it’s worth Xu Guang’s vigilance, isn’t it?

"I mean you no harm, only that... you are the first person in this world in two thousand years to successfully open the Spirit Palace, so I came out to meet you."

"I know you have many questions."

He stepped forward, lightly pointing at Xu Guang’s forehead. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Xu Guang had no time to react.

...

A dream of yellow millet, a skill of the Purple Dipper, where a scholar experiences fifty years of fame and fortune in a dream, only to wake to find the millet porridge in the small shop has not yet been cooked.

This is the peculiar state Xu Guang found himself in now.

He entered a strange perspective, overlooking history.

He first saw the lands of three thousand years ago, the last glory of these lands.

Cultivators filled the sky, Magic reached the divine, and true spirits were everywhere.

But the requirements to become a cultivator were very high.

Thus from among them, the Martial Dao emerged.

But two thousand six hundred years ago, everything changed.

An Ancient God descended, using Divine Techniques to seal this realm, and from then on, there were no more Qi Refiners.

The Langya Dynasty was the Court before Great Zhou, and before it was established, the people here experienced the most terrifying darkness.

Slaughter, bloodshed, grudges, pain.

Tens of thousands, in despair, worshipped the Ancient God, becoming the lapdogs of the Ancient God.

The Ancient God became the true deity of this world.

They offered blood and slaughter as sacrifices to please the Ancient God, strengthening themselves, and the Ancient God’s influence grew ever greater.

The stronger the Ancient God, the more savage those who worshipped the Ancient God became, with more ferocity in their hunts of others.

This was a vicious cycle.

In an era without the rule of law, people were less than dogs, a time more despairing than the current chaotic world, for you never knew when or where your companions would become lapdogs of the Ancient God, or you, unknowingly, become an offering to please the Ancient God.

Until the emergence of the Langya Dynasty.

Xu Guang finally understood that the Grand Ancestor of the Langya Dynasty was a man named Chai Hui.

’Chai Hui was my martial uncle. He resisted the Ancient God’s movements three times, driving out those who worshipped the Ancient God, thus distinguishing between the Humans and the Barbarians.’

Xu Guang saw such scenes, realizing that the old madman on Lanshan bore an uncanny resemblance to the Langya Dynasty’s Grand Ancestor Chai Hui.

The Langya Dynasty perished with the disappearance of Grand Ancestor Chai Hui, and Li Ling emerged from obscurity.

Establishing the Great Zhou.

Everything seemed to repeat itself cyclically.

What exactly happened to Li Ling, Xin Nanyan himself seemed not to know, and naturally, Xu Guang who shared his memories, did not know either.

These were the small part of things Xin Nanyan showed Xu Guang, regarding what the Purple Dipper Sect had done on this land.

There were more things.

For instance, the continuation and development of the Martial Dao was, in fact, the Purple Dipper’s integration of their Sect’s Daoist Sect ideology concerning Qi Refiners.

Xu Guang finally understood why Xin Nanyan harbored such deep resentment over Li Ling’s betrayal, wishing to exhaust the blood of the Li Clan.

Purple Dipper had been tirelessly resisting the Ancient God, but Li Ling betrayed the Purple Dipper, a matter that could never be forgiven.

The scenes gradually dissipated.

Xu Guang looked at Xin Nanyan before him with a complicated expression.

"What exactly did Li Ling do?"

Xin Nanyan slowly looked to the sky, "I don’t know, I only know he fled from the North Sea to Hongze."

"And this gorge..."

"Places cursed by the Ancient God will gradually form independent worlds, eventually becoming locked and turning into stars in the sky, dead stars..."

"This gorge is a pathway my Purple Dipper has held up for the people of this world, passing through it, you can enter Hongze..."

Xu Guang suddenly understood.

He looked at the names above, "These people..."

Xin Nanyan’s face was expressionless, "They are all beneath your feet."

Xu Guang thought of the ashes that had previously drifted in the air.

"Leaving here under the gaze of the Ancient God, even with my help, they would not succeed. I’ve presided over this valley for two thousand years; everything here has long been imbued with my Dao, battling with the Ancient God’s curse everywhere. Had you not opened the Spirit Palace, you could not have reached here."

Xu Guang nodded to indicate understanding.

He felt conflicted.

"What can this junior do for you, senior?"

Xin Nanyan slightly shook his head, his eyes intently watching Xu Guang, "The development of the Martial Dao is not much over two thousand years. You must at least break through First Grade to have a chance to cross this gorge. How much do you know about Qi Refiners?"
