Chapter 249: 160, The Origin of the Bloodline World, Mysterious, Lady Xiao Xiao (4K Chapters)_2
The script on it was mysterious and profound; a mere glance evoked a dull ache between the brows.
This must be the Top-grade fixed light talisman. Xu Xing mused. It’s truly different from ordinary Light Sealing Talismans...
Xu Xing slapped his Storage Bag, and a High-Grade Dingguang charm appeared in his hand. This High-Grade Dingguang charm was a Silver charm. Its design was very similar to that of the Top-grade fixed light talisman. However, its runes did not feature the Silver Tadpole Text. The inscribed runes were also somewhat simpler.
First-class True Disciples of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace are provided by the Sect with a set of second-class cultivation resources for each realm. Among these, the High-Grade Dingguang charm is a second-class cultivation resource that First-class True Disciples can receive in the Immortal Foundation Realm.
A High-Grade Dingguang charm can only illuminate just over thirty thousand runes on the Mystic Light, but the Top-grade fixed light talisman can reveal every single rune on the Mystic Light, down to the most minute detail...
Xu Xing compared the two talismans, bringing each one close to his azure-crimson Mystic Light and carefully observing the subtle changes upon it. Between the two different types, the Top-grade fixed light talisman illuminated all the runes on his Mystic Light. The High-Grade Dingguang charm, however, fell far short; some of the minuscule runes on the Mystic Light were difficult for it to illuminate.
The Mystic Light cultivated through one’s primary cultivation method inherently contains the profound principles of heaven and earth, with runes generating spontaneously. The quantity of these runes on the Mystic Light, the intensity of one’s Magic Power, and the Cloud Mist refined during the Immortal Foundation Early Stage are all closely related. Even for individuals cultivating the same technique, upon reaching the "Xuanguang Talisman" stage, the illuminated Mystic Light runes would differ.
Supplement the Mysterious Symbols. That’s the best way to preserve the Elixir Qi of the Jade Liquid Reversion Pill, Xu Xing thought.
The Xuanguang Talisman realm primarily focuses on enhancing Magic Power. By utilizing a Light Sealing Talisman, one continuously inscribes the manifested Mysterious Symbols onto their Mystic Light using spiritual thought, thereby achieving a ’leak-proof’ state.
...
When the time was up, Xu Xing and the other eighty-two True Disciples were teleported out of the Hangu Mountain Secret Realm by an array technique within it. Hangu Mountain was the Cave Mansion of the Divine Illusion Saint Monarch. Within it were numerous wondrous array techniques. The True Disciples who entered the three divergent tunnels could each only obtain one Light Sealing Talisman. As for who obtained the Top-grade fixed light talisman, it depended entirely on who entered a tunnel first and cleared its challenges the earliest.
After exiting the Hangu Mountain Secret Realm, Xu Xing had assumed the Sect would inquire about who had taken the Top-grade fixed light talisman. To his surprise, the Sect showed no intention of asking about it whatsoever. After confirming that none of the eighty-three True Disciples were harmed, they were escorted onto a new Cloudbreaker Flying Boat and returned to the Sect.
...
Upon returning to the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, under arrangements made by Giant Sword Daoist Monarch, Xu Xing’s assigned outer island within the Sect was changed from Folding Mountain Island to Whale Island. Compared to Folding Mountain Island, Whale Island’s resources were not abundant. However, the Island Master’s Cave Mansion on Whale Island was a Xuanjing Abode, possessing Spiritual Energy even richer than Biyuan Mountain. Undertaking Seclusion Cultivation here would yield twice the results with half the effort.
After obtaining the Top-grade fixed light talisman, Xu Xing had no desire to venture out, wishing only to enter Seclusion Cultivation to advance his Cultivation. He planned to emerge only after reaching at least the Ninefold Immortal Foundation. If he could achieve Condensing Pill in one go, that would be even better.
He chose to enter seclusion on Whale Island rather than in his Biyuan Mountain Cave Mansion for two reasons. Firstly, for the stipend and the resources of Whale Island. Secondly, Whale Island was near the Sealed Demon Pan Palace; with Giant Sword Daoist Monarch’s protection, it was much safer than within the Sect itself.
As for Concubine Song Miyao, whom the Sect had arranged for him, Xu Xing met her only once. After settling her in the Biyuan Mountain Cave Mansion, he departed from the Sect with Giant Sword Daoist Monarch, heading for the West Sea area of Wangchuan Sea.
In the Biyuan Mountain Cave Mansion, Song Miyao gazed despondently at the tightly sealed doors, a wave of disappointment washing over her heart.
"Last year we parted, outside Shenjing’s Gate, where snowflakes drifted like poplar flowers.
Years of spring have passed; now poplar flowers fall like snow, yet still, you’ve not returned.
With wine, I roll the curtain, inviting the moon; frost seeps through the gauze pane.
Like Heng E pitying paired swallows, her clear light bathes the slanting gallery."
After joining the Immortal Sect, her aptitude was poor. Despite receiving the beneficence of Ancestor Song Dao, her Cultivation had barely reached the Innate Realm, and she had made no progress since. Nearly twenty years had passed. Her beauty had gradually faded with age; though still possessing an exceptional allure, she inevitably had developed some wrinkles.
A pity... she thought, her heart heavy. I lack the resolve to die.
Taking a length of white silk from her sleeve, Song Miyao considered hanging herself from a beam to end her tragic life. Yet, once the white silk was draped over the beam, cowardice stayed her hand.
...
In a magnificent complex of buildings near the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, Ruan Baimei had learned further news about Xu Xing from his granduncle. He shook his head, murmuring softly to himself, Seventh on the Human Rankings... and possessing the legendary "Human Emperor Body". No wonder Gong Yuzhen sided with Xu Xing instead of opposing him.
The Taibai Immortal Body isn’t necessarily inferior to the "Human Emperor Body", Ruan Baimei affirmed to himself. The "Human Emperor Body" can establish an Immortal Dynasty, but in the Cultivation World, strength has always been paramount. If the Shadow Assassination Hall knew Xu Xing possessed the "Human Emperor Body", they would undoubtedly rank him higher than me. The Human King physique enjoys Great Fortune, while the "Human Emperor Body" commands Immortal Luck. The failure of the assassination attempt by the Gong Family and Ruan Family this time undoubtedly proved it. The Human King physique merely stands out among ordinary constitutions; it’s still a tier below an Immortal Body. The "Human Emperor Body", however, is in no way inferior to any Immortal Body.
"Baimei," a majestic voice, tinged with an undeniable authority, echoed from the depths of the Ruan Clan Grounds. "Henceforth, Xu Xing will be a pillar of our Immortal Sect, just like you. You may compete with him, but you must not become his enemy."
