The Great Wild God - Chapter 118

Chapter 118 Each Harboring A Ghost
Chen Xun took Su Qingfeng’s Cloud Escape Technique and returned to the Immortal Seeking Palace. He did not say that he would hide in the courtyard to cultivate. Instead, he left the Northern Mountain City overnight with Nan Liao and Zong Ya and returned to the Black Python Stone Village.

Originally, Chen Xun had no intention of returning to the stronghold before he traveled far away, but he knew that there were too many questions and confusion in his heart when the two sects’ disciples fought. He had no choice but to rush back to the Black Python to make a long-term plan.

The surrounding mountains were covered in snow, and the rivers and streams were frozen.

The Black Python Ridge was drained to the bottom of the cliff by digging a spring. The waterfall was flowing water, flowing down a hundred meters and smashing out a piece of sparkling pearl jade.

Over the past two years, the wooden fence walls had been replaced with stone walls, surrounding this section of stone ridge, becoming a forbidden area for the Dark Python crowd to cultivate.

The matter was very important, so Chen Xun and Nan Liao had no choice but to interrupt Grandpa Zongtu’s cultivation.

Zong Tu successfully cultivated the Spiritual Energy that matched the origin of his divine soul. He was just short of breaking through the last layer of window paper and leaping into the Reincarnation Realm. At this moment, his beard and hair were all white, but his face was flushed red, and his pupils revealed a bright divine light.

Chen Xun, Daoist Greenwood, Grandpa Zongtu, Nan Liao, Zong Sang, and Zong Ya sat cross-legged beneath the cliff, discussing secret matters.

Zuo Qingmu followed the Black Python Barbarian Master Zong Shouyang and had a life-and-death friendship with Zong Tu.

Since they had shared their secrets with Daoist Greenwood about cultivating spiritual energy, the Jade Pillar Peak Secret Realm Diagram, and Chen Xun’s rescue of Su Tang in the Lake Wasteland, both Zong Tu and Chen Xun had told Daoist Greenwood in all sincerity.

The current situation was far more complicated than he had imagined.

“My guess is that someone from the Su Clan or the Mysterious Frost Sect has already discovered that the Jade Pillar Peak is not that simple,” Chen Xun said straightforwardly. “I heard what Master Thirteen said. This time, the disciples of the two sects used the Jade Pillar Peak to hunt wolves. It was proposed by the Profound Frost Sect. It is very likely that someone from the Profound Frost Sect discovered the secrets of the Jade Pillar Peak. However, the Su Clan may not be kept in the dark …”

Canglan College and Xuanhan Sect sent True Yang Realm disciples to the vicinity of Jade Pillar Peak to hunt down Green Wolves, using this as a competition to divide the territory the two clans would occupy in the Lake Wasteland in the future.

The whole thing didn’t seem abnormal, but Chen Xun felt that there was something fishy hidden in it.

Countless rogue cultivators entered the lake wasteland, hunting desolate beasts, gathering spirit medicines, and digging up divine iron jade mines. Most of them would trade with the Su Clan and Mystical Frost Sect for higher-grade profound arts techniques, talisman artifacts, and medicinal pills.

This also meant that these cultivation resources, as well as the heavenly materials and earth treasures that could be unearthed in the Lake Wasteland, would eventually flow into the hands of the Su Clan and Mystical Frost Sect.

The Profound Frost Sect was in a hurry to reach the Lake Wasteland, so why did they split up territory with the Su Clan?

Chen Xun suspected that it might be the five Baixi Empyreans or some other person from Mystical Frost Sect who had discovered something when they entered Jade Pillar Peak while chasing after that evil ape.

The competition between the disciples of the two sects this time was very likely a cover-up plan that Mystical Frost Sect had come up with.

The purpose of the Profound Frost Sect was not to occupy more of the lake wasteland, but to occupy the Jade Pillar Peak.

“If the Mysterious Frost Sect discovers the secrets in the Jade Pillar Peak, why would they want the entire world to know?” Zong Ya asked doubtfully.

‘”Even if Mystical Frost Sect wants to sneak in, it’s not up to Mystical Frost Sect,” Chen Xun said. “How many secrets Mystical Frost Sect knows about Jade Pillar Peak is still unknown. It’s very likely that he only knows a small portion of them. This is also a reason why they didn’t deliberately conceal it. Secondly, even if Mystical Frost Sect knew what was hidden inside the Lonemoon Cliff Stone Pillar, he would have to expel tens of thousands of green wolves from the outer perimeter if he wanted to break through the stone pillar. The Lake Wilderness was a buffer zone between Cang Lan and Mystical Frost Sect. With such a big move, no one from the two sects could conceal it from anyone. Moreover, the Su Clan might not be in the dark, and they might have known something long ago. When Mystical Frost Sect mentioned the disciple competition, he agreed. Otherwise, in this competition between the disciples of the two sects, even a single slap would not make a sound … ”

Chen Xun was sure that Su Tang wouldn’t say anything, but the Azure Water School had hidden several Tian Yuan Realm experts. The Su Clan’s ancestor had lived for hundreds of years, and his cultivation was even more unfathomable. It wouldn’t be surprising if the Su Clan knew anything about the secrets in the Jade Pillar Peak.

In this competition between the disciples of the two sects, Chen Xun was more inclined to believe that both of them were scheming.

Daoist Azurewood sighed softly and said, “As Chen Xun said, the vicious beast trapped beneath the stone pillar was capable of killing the Snow Ape in one fell swoop. The lightning released by the snake is very likely a supreme divine lightning dao technique. It is likely that it has already surpassed the scope of desolate beasts.” If this ferocious beast were to break free from the stone pillars, how powerful would it be? It was truly imaginable. “It’s very likely that even a peerless Heaven Origin Realm expert would not be able to defeat him head-on …”

Chen Xun nodded, agreeing with Daoist Greenwood’s judgment. Su Tang had thought the same back then.

Not to mention the Mysterious Frost Sect, even the Azure Water School would suffer a terrible loss if a Supreme Elder of the Heaven Origin Realm died unexpectedly.

In comparison, the death of three to five hundred True Yang Realm disciples was extremely sparse.

Chen Xun was more inclined to believe that the two sects knew what Jade Pillar Peak was hiding, but they weren’t very sure about it. That was why they agreed to send the two sects’ True Yang Realm disciples to clear the wolf pack.

These True Yang Realm disciples were also pawns that the two sects had thrown out to explore the path.

If there was really an unknown danger in the Jade Pillar Peak, losing three to five hundred True Yang Realm disciples would be much easier to accept than losing a Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Origin Realm in an accident.

“It’s very likely that I’m paranoid,” Chen Xun said. “However, as long as the disciples of the two sects and large-scale rogue cultivators enter the vicinity of Jade Pillar Peak, as long as they successfully lure the wolves out and split them up, the secrets within the Lonely Cliff Stone Pillar will be hard to hide.”

“If there is something in one’s life, then there is no need to force it if there is nothing in one’s life.” Zong Tu sighed.

With the current strength of the Black Python, even if it obtained the python diagram from the Lonely Cliff Stone Pillar, as long as it leaked the slightest bit of information, it would only attract the calamity of annihilation.

Zong Tu had originally hoped that the secrets of the Lonely Cliff Stone Pillar would be hidden for several decades, or even a hundred years. When Chen Xun advanced to the late Reincarnation Realm, he might have a chance to explore them.

From the looks of it, even if the Su Clan and Mystical Frost Sect didn’t know anything about the Jade Pillar Peak, it would be difficult to keep the secret of the Lonely Cliff Stone Pillar any longer.

There was even no need to reveal too many secrets. As long as the outside world knew that there was a Stone Snake Lotus growing on the Lonely Cliff Stone Pillar, there were vicious beasts hidden within the Lonely Cliff Stone Pillar that could not even be compared to a peak Reincarnation Realm expert, they would attract a flood of wandering cultivators from all over the world.

In short, the black python didn’t even have a chance to eat a drop of gravy, even if it used all of its strength to suck milk.

Daoist Azure Wood said to Chen Xun, “The more than a hundred characters in the secret realm map sound like ancient characters. If you remember, write them down for me to see …”

Chen Xun didn’t recognize any of the hundreds of ancient characters in the skins remnant map that the black python had hidden, nor did he see any similar ancient characters in Azure Water City.

However, Chen Xun’s divine soul was astonishingly powerful. He had the ability to never forget it, and he had memorized more than a hundred ancient characters in his heart.

There was no need for Nan Liao and the others to run back to the stone hall to retrieve the secret realm map. Chen Xun used his finger as a pen to carve these hundred words on the stone wall.

“It’s really a bird seal. I can recognize it in general.” Daoist Greenwood said.

Chen Xun was delighted. He hadn’t expected that Daoist Greenwood would truly be a scholar of heaven and earth. He could even recognize the ancient characters of the Bird Seal. He thought to himself, if these hundred words were written in the secret art of entering the Lonely Cliff Stone Pillar, they might not be without a chance to obtain the python diagram.

Daoist Azure Wood recognized it for a long time before he translated each of the hundred words into the Cloud Continent language and said, “These hundred words say that the Lonemoon Cliff Stone Pillar is the entrance to an abandoned stone palace.” The python diagram was a treasure in the stone hall, not a black python that was hidden in the stone hall afterwards. Thousands of years ago, an ancestor of the Black Python was exiled to the northern wilderness. He had no intention of entering this stone hall. He comprehended the Nine Nether Battle Spear from the python diagram and returned to his tribe. After that, he led the Black Python to rise up in the Azure Water Wilderness. More than a hundred words recorded this matter, and the method of entry and exit could be recorded on the other three fragment maps. Strange, I didn’t mention that ferocious beast … ”

“Looks like other people have entered the stone hall for thousands of years.” Chen Xun said, thinking that this might be the only explanation.

Since someone had entered Scarlet for thousands of years, the stone hall might have long been empty, even if Python Diagram had been ordered to be taken away.

However, Chen Xun was somewhat unwilling to personally barge in and take a look.

Zong Tu said, “The black python indeed has such a legend, but there is no way to enter or leave. In the end, it is frustrating. There are many opportunities in Yunzhou, but you can’t force it …”

During the competition between the disciples of the two sects, Chen Xun had to do everything in his power to escape from the pursuit of Lou Yiyi. If he rushed to the Jade Pillar Peak to join the fun, it would be even more dangerous than getting a chill in the fire. Zong Tu would rather Python Diagram landed in the Su Clan or the Mysterious Frost Sect than take this risk to risk and fight for an’s safety.

Chen Xun smiled and said, “There is an old saying in my hometown. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. What he does is mostly adaptable. Whether or not he has the opportunity can’t be decided at this moment. He immediately copied down every single word of the hundred-odd ancient characters translated by Daoist Cyanwood.”

**********************

Chen Xun told Daoist Azurewood that the 72 Loose Cultivators had a wonderful use for transporting Qi and Blood Divine Splendor. He said, “Cultivating Qi and Blood to perfection is fine. Transporting Qi and Blood Divine Splendor can reach the five viscera and six internal organs. Perhaps a high-grade Barbarian Martial Cultivator can truly reach the peak of the True Yang Realm in the shortest amount of time …”

“Oh” Daoist Greenwood was also stunned when he heard Chen Xun’s words. When he founded Seventy-Two Sanshou, he was already at the peak of the True Yang Realm. His qi and blood were pure to the extreme, and he was already saturated. He was unable to merge with his qi and blood divine essence. At the same time, his internal organs had been nourished for more than ten years and cultivated to the peak. Therefore, he never thought of using it.

Many things were just a layer of window paper. With Chen Xun’s words, Daoist Greenwood instantly understood that if this method was truly feasible, it would be too important for a True Yang Realm cultivator.

After reaching the ninth level of the True Yang Realm, other than consuming spirit medicines that nourished the internal organs, it would usually take more than ten to twenty years to reach the peak of the ninth level of the True Yang Realm.

If Seventy-two Sanshou could really carry the blood energy divine essence into his internal organs, it would be of great significance to a True Yang Realm cultivator. It was truly unimaginable.

Daoist Azurewood pondered for a long time and said, “It seems like the sooner the seventy-two Sanshou and the Great Roc Secret Fist are cultivated, the better.” I’ll stay in the black python and do nothing. Zong Ling and Nan Xi can be responsible for teaching them. In your battle with Lou Jiao, you are famous throughout the Northern Mountain, so you should make more friends with loose cultivators. If 72 Sanshou is still useful, then let’s not hide anything. Sparring with each other is the right path. If there’s a chance, you can teach Zuoqiu as well … ”

Daoist Greenwood had been away from the Left Thorn Tribe for thirty years, but he was still worried.

72 Sanshou was created by Daoist Greenwood. It was normal for Daoist Greenwood to hope that the Left Thorn Tribe would have an inheritance.

Daoist Azurewood asked Chen Xun to pass down seventy-two loose fists. This was truly a huge favor that he had entrusted to Chen Xun.

Apart from Zuoqiu, Daoist Azure Wood didn’t restrict him from passing on seventy-two loose hands to others, so he was truly broad-minded.
