Immortality from Taming Elephant

Chapter 710 - 314: Let All Face the Tribulation of Killing!

Become a Saint?Xu Guang’s face showed disbelief. Wan Chuan State was not some Great State, and the connected Void Realm was also not known for any great opportunities.

There are two ways for demons in the mountains to become saints: one is to gain recognition from a great presence in the Void Realm, namely the recognition of an Ancient God.

The other way is to completely imprint one’s own bloodline onto the Void Realm, eventually becoming an existence similar to an Ancient God, achieving the status of a Demon Saint.

Xu Guang did not know which path the so-called demon in the mountains was taking.

"Is this true?"

The man who claimed to be a disciple of the Five Immortals Sect, although in rags, had a solemn expression on his face.

"I swear by my life, not a single false word! The location of our Five Immortals Sect is in the Circle Valley, three thousand miles from here. The people there beseeched my sect to go out and vanquish the demon, but did not expect the demons here to be unusually powerful. Fortunately, my sect has many collaborations with the Holy Land of Tianya, so we sought aid from them. However, we have had no news for years...

Ten years ago, nine second-degree rebirth demons launched a surprise attack on our Five Immortals Sect..."

Xu Guang frowned, "Then how did you end up here?"

During the demon attack, how did Chu Xun survive? And how did he become a captive of one of the demons?

Chu Xun fell silent and, after a while, finally spoke.

"At that time, I had gone overseas. The Daoist techniques of my Five Immortals Sect had been inherited over many years, but no one had been able to decipher them. I found some clues and practiced the Secret Technique of the Five Immortals. When I returned, I learned of the sect’s tragedy and wanted to seek revenge, but inadvertently fell into the hands of the demons. The blue fox spared me only because it wanted to cultivate the Secret Technique of my Five Immortals Sect through me."

"Oh?"

Xu Guang looked at Chu Xun with interest.

He did not know whether what this person said was true or false.

After all, the matters the other mentioned were too big.

A Demon King about to become a saint was not something he could handle.

"The life-saving grace of today, I will remember forever. Chu Xun is willing to pass on the Secret Technique to you, as long as you can kill the demon fox!"

Seeing Xu Guang’s thoughts, Chu Xun said.

Xu Guang looked at him with a faint smile, "So, that blue fox also got your Secret Technique?"

Chu Xun smiled bitterly and then spoke, "Without giving it to him, I wouldn’t even have had the chance to meet you. People need to survive."

Regarding this, Xu Guang did not express approval or disapproval.

If he were in the same situation, he likely would not stubbornly refuse to yield the sect’s Secret Technique even in the face of death.

The Secret Technique of the Five Immortals Sect was indeed extraordinary, focusing on the five senses as the Five Immortals, using Daoist techniques to comprehend, and separately condensing five talisman treasures, ultimately forming the Five Immortal Talisman Treasure. Upon completion, one could hear sound, see color, smell love, swallow desire, and touch the sky!

The complete Five Immortal Talisman Treasure is a heavenly-grade talisman treasure!

People in the Qi Refining system could not refuse such things.

Xu Guang was no different, but he still had some reservations about Chu Xun.

He did not begin cultivation immediately but instead asked.

"I don’t like owing people favors. Your life, though, is not as precious as this Secret Technique. I could help you do something else. Killing the Venerable Fox King is too difficult, a bit of a loss, so as for the demons in the demon territory, I can help you kill one. State your target."

Chu Xun was momentarily stunned, seemingly not expecting Xu Guang to say such a thing, and after a moment of silence, he replied.

"Anyone?"

"Except the Venerable Fox King."

"Can I kill someone outside?"

Chu Xun cautiously asked.

"Hmm?"

"The downfall of my Five Immortals Sect is not such a simple matter. Even though our sect has a six-hundred-year heritage and has never produced a Saint, it has a solid foundation. At the time, it was at its peak, and without the Venerable Fox King’s intervention, I believe our sect could have withstood it, yet the sect was destroyed overnight...

Based on some clues left by the sect, I suspect someone revealed certain secrets and weaknesses of our sect to those demons?"

Chu Xun spoke again.

While speaking, he carefully watched Xu Guang, as if gauging his reaction.

"Oh? So, you suspect there’s a traitor within the sect?"

Chu Xun shook his head slightly.

"So... is it Mu Yusheng then?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xun’s expression changed dramatically. He suddenly raised his head to look at Xu Guang, eager to determine whether Xu Guang’s statement meant he was friend or foe.

Xu Guang lightly weighed the jade slip Chu Xun had handed him earlier, "I won’t beat around the bush. Undo the tricks on this thing yourself. Since you recognized me as a Demon Hunter, you should know that I’m not on the same path as Mu Yusheng. I won’t kill Mu Yusheng for you, but I can promise you..."

He wasn’t randomly guessing. Chu Xun had mentioned that the Five Immortals Sect sought aid from the Holy Land of Tianya, but there was no response from Tianya.

Either the Five Immortals Sect’s message was never sent, or someone in the Holy Land of Tianya intercepted it.

From Chu Xun’s words, it was evident there were Qi Refiners of the Five Realms within the Five Immortals Sect, which was a significant sect in Wan Chuan State. Someone capable of intercepting such news within the Holy Land of Tianya must hold a high position.

Xu Guang thought of his coming here on Mu Yusheng’s commission and casually made a conjecture.

But Chu Xun’s reaction confirmed some of his suspicions.

The demons flourishing here do seem to have some connection to Mu Yusheng.

But these matters are unrelated to him. Mu Yusheng asked him to slay the demons, so he would do just that, as long as he fulfilled Han Wangshan’s last wish.

Taking a light step forward, he stood with his hands behind his back—the demonic intent surged within but didn’t seep outside—yet the powerful aura was as overwhelming as divine might!

The entire valley seemed to sink a few inches in an instant.

"As for the demons in this land, except for the Venerable Fox King, I will have them... all killed and wiped out!"
