Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 456 - 215: Ancient Divine Bloodline

"Master, why do we monster hunters need to guide the people from the Great State where our merit list is located after its fall? I’ve heard that the Ancient Gods of Li Taizhou are very terrifying, and even the Saints from Purple Dipper nearly perished there."

On the boundless sea, a gigantic ship with thirteen floors was moving slowly, with two figures, one large and one small, standing on its deck.

The young child, barely half the height of an adult, wore a buttoned robe adorned with bells, a compass, incense, and other miscellaneous items, creating a charming contrast that was quite endearing.

The older one was of course Gu Shuo. As the Inspection Envoy of the Northern Six States, he needed to travel through the six states within the stipulated time, reviewing names on numerous merit lists and eventually granting them the qualification to join the Arctic Six Institute.

The Northern Six States are vast indeed, and even someone like him, a Martial Artist of the Dharmic phase, taking various measures to traverse the six states, requires four to five years.

Luckily, the Arctic Six Institute will only formally commence in a few years, possibly enough time for him to act.

Upon hearing the words of his young disciple, Gu Shuo smiled.

"Do you know what a top-notch genius is? Among our monster hunters, there’s a Divine True King. You should know about his origins, right?

He hails from a Great State similar to Li Taizhou’s state status, ultimately ascending to the True King realm, surpassing even the Qi Refining Saint. Although he couldn’t prevent his homeland from falling into a fallen star, his conviction led to great achievements, becoming the first Martial Artist surpassing the Qi Refining Saint realm throughout history.

If no one had gone to guide him back then, allowing him to sink into that Great State, he might have had some achievements but hardly the glory he enjoys today among monster hunters."

It took him one hundred and sixty years to cultivate to the First Grade realm, but only thirty years to reach the Dharmic phase, and achieving the True King in less than a millennium. It’s hard to describe the impact of the sinking land on him."

The young child pondered, "I’ve heard that in the sinking land, it’s hard to achieve the Dharmic phase, and descendants struggle to inherit the previous ancestors’ divine techniques. Countless mystical techniques are lost, which is truly a shame."

"Wow, you understand so much?" Gu Shuo looked a bit surprised.

The child bashfully rubbed his head, "If Master hadn’t valued me back then, I’d still be helping people with fish ponds over in Yin Feng State. As a disciple, I need to learn more to avoid embarrassing Master."

Gu Shuo smiled with satisfaction.

"Though you walk the path of Qi Refiners, I’ve always had great expectations for you."

For a time, the atmosphere between master and disciple was incredibly harmonious.

Suddenly.

The world changed dramatically, and the boundless sea erupted into towering waves, soaring into the sky like a massive curtain.

"There’s a denizen!"

The ship’s crew, upon witnessing this scene, were suddenly shocked, and the air was thick with the aura of demons.

"Don’t worry, with the Ancient Angel here, these demons really don’t know their place."

"The demon dwelling here seems to be the famous Great Demon, Sea Dragon Sovereign, of the Northern Stele State!"

"What Sea Dragon Sovereign or Well Dragon King, the Ancient Angel is here."

Gu Shuo squinted his eyes.

"What demon dares to attack the monster hunter Inspection Envoy ship, truly seeking death!"

The giant wave suddenly trembled, then retreated even faster.

However, Gu Shuo had already risen, almost imperceptible in his movement, having already flown hundreds of meters, standing on the wave, his body radiating endless green light, blending sea and sky.

Heaven and earth vibrated.

In an instant, countless seawater turned into whirlpools, swirling like countless little serpents, swiftly fleeing.

Only a demon, towering in stature, human from the waist up with a dragon’s tail below, its head entirely resembling a monstrous fish, was frantically retreating, eyes filled with intense terror.

Several demons looking at Gu Shuo in the air were already changed in color.

"It’s those damned monster hunters, this is bad, kicked the iron plate..."

Sea Dragon Sovereign showed resentment, was this kicking an iron plate? It’s clearly kicked the Book of Life and Death here!

...

Zouchuan Dao Longmen.

Xu Guang looked at the map, a complete map of the Great State where he was located, Li Taizhou.

From above, the current territories of the Great Zhou, Three Paths, and Six States occupy about one-third of Li Taizhou, with the remaining two-thirds being territories of barbarians.

Xu Guang, surprised, looked at Gongsun Wang, "Does senior have such things?"

Gongsun Wang shook his head, "This was brought by Zhuge Wuliang, who collected ancient texts from predecessors, and personally traveled throughout Li Taizhou, finally drawing this map. It marks the demon’s locations, once you leave your name on the merit list, these demons will be your achievements."

"Senior..."

Xu Guang was astonished, traveling the world meant that Zhuge Wuliang had penetrated the realm of barbarians with unimaginable skill.

"Don’t act so moved, it’s kind of disgusting, let’s consider it a deal."

Xu Guang showed a listening expression.

Gongsun Wang cleared his throat, "Though I am only Third Grade, throughout the world, I only admire three and a half people. The first needs no explanation, Zhuge Wuliang, then Celestial Yin Sect’s old witch Chi Zhenqi, Shangjing Dongfang family’s Dongfang Taiyin, and Jiang Family’s Jiang Hong counts as a half."

"These people are recognized by me as likely to pass the monster hunter merit list and be guided out by monster hunters, now you’re added to the group."

Gongsun Wang spoke with some emotion.

Xu Guang remained silent, just quietly listening.

"Forty years ago, there was a sect named Du Xiang Sect promising to guide Zhuge Wuliang at all costs. Zhuge Wuliang was about to leave, but he heard that if valued by the monster hunter guides, he could bring several people with him. My and Zhuge Wuliang’s descendants are many; it might depend on you to help bring them out when the time comes."
