Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 465 - 218: Zhuge Wuliang, Gate God Xu Guang, Breaking Through Third Grade

Chapter 465: Chapter 218: Zhuge Wuliang, Gate God Xu Guang, Breaking Through Third Grade

The early morning at Kunlun Mountain evokes an intense desolation, as if this is the only place left between heaven and earth, standing on the mountaintop, it feels like walking alone between the heavens and earth, everything silent.

Today is the day to leave Kunlun with Ah Wei.

The Elephant King knows a lot about Demon Hunters, who pursue not Demon Beasts, but the fallen demons.

"North Pole Six Institutes, the Holy Land for Demon Hunters..."

Xu Guang pondered the information provided by the Elephant King about the Demon Hunters, a hint of anticipation rising on his face.

The Demon Hunters hold significant power in Hongze, openly overseeing the eradication of demons across the forty-three states of Hongze, executing them first and reporting later, even though there are Holy Lands above these Great States.

Those who established the Demon Hunters are not unknown individuals but were once notorious figures above the Reverse Dao, among them, a disciple of the North Pole Emperor, one of the famed Six Emperors.

However, the North Pole Emperor has his own family, and the Demon Hunters were founded by his disciple.

The North Pole Six Institutes are reputed as places where becoming a revered figure is not a difficult task once inside.

Every opening of the North Pole Six Institutes is an event of great significance across the forty-three states, countless rare geniuses appear at the Six Institutes’ examination venues.

As for the Merit List, yes, it does exist, serving as the criterion to judge if one is qualified to partake in the examination.

After all, the mission of a Demon Hunter is to eliminate demons, and if one cannot even manage that, the gates of the North Pole Six Institutes will naturally not open for you.

The Elephant King also supports Xu Guang’s prompt journey to Hai Province, suggesting that once he contacts the Merit List, he should begin slaying demons.

In those days, he was willing to nurture General Wei, naturally not hoping for his child to be trapped in Li Taizhou, always watched by the Ancient Gods, and letting a millennium pass without growth, just like himself.

Ah Wei’s talent combined with Xu Guang’s assistance might revive the Ancient Elephant Clan if they reach Hongze.

There is an expectation that in the future, Ah Wei and Xu Guang will grow to a level comparable to the Ancient Gods, bringing him out from Li Taizhou.

He has never spoken such words, nor held any such expectation, and Xu Guang vaguely feels from some of his words that he doesn’t seem keen on leaving here.

Even though he’s stuck here, unable to move with two Ancient Gods watching him.

Could this also be a form of Cultivation?

Xu Guang doesn’t know.

But according to the Elephant King’s prediction, the centennial opening of the North Pole Six Institutes should be soon, and he must hurry to Hai Province to contact the Merit List.

When leaving, a light rain began to fall on Kunlun Mountain, perpetually shrouded in mist, the dampness carrying a slight stuffiness.

Summer had arrived.

Xu Guang glanced at the sky, feeling a bit sentimental.

Time passed so quickly.

It seemed like just yesterday when it snowed in winter, but summer had already come.

Since embarking on the path of Cultivation, time no longer seems measured in days for him, one retreat alone could last over a month or even longer.

No wonder a phrase often circulated deep in the Cultivation world: "There are no years in Cultivation, a thousand years have passed in the mountains."

The gathering of the Elephant Race had already retreated long ago, the consumption required by so many Great Beasts staying together daily was large, and the valley couldn’t satisfy their food needs, so three days after paying homage to the Elephant King, the Great Beasts began to leave one after another.

Thus, when returning, only Ah Wei and Xu Guang were left.

Its mother, in the future, would follow the Elephant King for cultivation.

The Elephant King must have already intended to keep her by his side.

However, her health doesn’t seem quite well.

Xu Guang could see that Ah Wei’s mother wasn’t considered to have good qualifications, and nurturing Ah Wei wasn’t an easy task, with her internal Primordial Qi being depleted, though it has restored over the years.

Thinking about this, he was a bit speechless, a mother with depleted Primordial Qi carrying a newborn who could never seem to eat enough...

Deep in the forest, with dense woods on both sides, vines interconnecting, and tall trees touching the sky, raindrops falling on leaves stirred the wind, and the forest atmosphere rang with sounds reminiscent of eerie wailing ghosts and howling wolves.

It was far from peaceful.

In such rainy weather, most of the Demon Beasts in Kunlun Mountain chose to hibernate.

General Teng extended thick vines, transforming into a massive canopy, shielding Xu Guang and General Wei from the wind and rain.

Suddenly,

Ah Wei halted in his tracks, while a hint of gravity settled on Xu Guang’s face.

"The aura... is not right."

The light dimmed slightly, and from the forest, a figure walked out, dragging a huge Demon Beast.

The person wore a mask and emitted an immensely heavy aura.

The figure also noticed Xu Guang, stopped in place, and gazed at him gravely, their gaze lingering on General Wei for a long time.

For an extended moment, the masked person slightly backed away, spreading their hands to show they meant no harm.

Xu Guang sat atop Ah Wei, unmoving.

Raindrops fell on the decaying leaves on the ground, stirring an indescribable scent, where decay mixed with a hint of freshness.

The masked figure then departed into the distance.

Xu Guang remained where he was, not in pursuit.

A fleeting encounter without grievances does not necessitate such actions.

Continuing onward.

But just as they turned the corner of a mountain pass.

Swish swish swish.

In an instant, a mass of black hovering shadowy birds erupted from the forest, diving viciously towards the umbrella canopy manifested by General Teng.

Xu Guang’s expression subtly changed.

The Demon Beasts of Kunlun Mountain indeed had immense ferocity.

Without considering the strength of their aura, they directly charged at him, truly courting death.

He didn’t make a move, but instead, a fierce aura reminiscent of heavenly wrath brewed inside him, rolling and surging downward, instantly.

Resolute cries of wretchedness resonated from within the flock of black birds, as if pleading for mercy, and finally, one by one, they fell from the sky, plummeting from a height of a hundred meters, countless strange birds meeting death upon impact.

Xu Guang felt no sympathy as General Teng abruptly extended from General Wei, twisting the necks of the birds that hadn’t yet perished.
