Chapter 347: 205, Higanbana, Child of the Immortal (5k4 Major Chapters) _2
"A change of personnel?"
On the Paper boat, Xu Xing carried the corpse of his past life on his back and looked at the Old man at the bow.
The Old man’s attire, appearance, and aura remained unchanged.
It seemed he was still the difference from before.
However, Xu Xing had a feeling that the Old man had changed his core. It could be seen from his words and actions.
"Pick a Higanbana flower and plant it in your Elixir Talisman."
"This will be of great benefit to you."
The Old man steadied the Paper boat near the riverbank and spoke solemnly.
After finishing his words, seeing that Xu Xing still hesitated, he added, "This is also our agreement with Emperor Xi."
"Thank you, Senior."
Xu Xing’s heart shuddered, and he hesitated no longer.
If this "difference" had malicious intentions towards him, even if he didn’t pick the Higanbana flower, he would not escape the fate of death.
The path ahead had been paved by Shi Yuyan for him.
Since Shi Yuyan asked him to cultivate both paths, it was impossible for her not to have considered today’s matter.
Xu Xing stood up with the corpse on his back and stepped onto the bank of the Other Shore River.
The corpses salvaged from the River of Nether would always accompany the Returning to the Netherworld Ghost Immortal until they were fully integrated into the body, completing their foundation.
The splendid Higanbana flowers exuded a musky fragrance.
"Which one is the real Higanbana?"
Xu Xing opened his spiritual eyes and observed the aura of the Higanbana sea.
Higanbana is a treasure of the Netherworld Wasteland.
They are extremely rare.
Every three thousand years, only one could bloom.
The rest that grew with it were illusory flowers.
This information was recorded in the Classics of sects like the Immortal Mushroom Sect, Qiming Sect, and Fragrant Fox Sect.
"I can’t see clearly..."
After observing for a while, Xu Xing could barely identify one or two illusory flowers, but he couldn’t find the real Higanbana.
As for these one or two illusory flowers, if he observed them again after half a breath, he would consider them real flowers once more.
"At that time, the Heavenly Venerate was in the Holy Land of Chanli..."
"Together with billions of True Immortals and all Heavenly Venerates, and the Heavenly Dragons and Ghost Gods, they came to the gathering and accepted my constraints..."
"...After upholding and reciting this scripture, one could be relieved of the nine hundred and six yang disasters, the calamities of the three declines, nine adversities, eight hardships, and five sufferings..."
After searching for a while, Xu Xing suddenly had a flash of inspiration, a mysterious dawning of comprehension. He immediately sat cross-legged and recited the incomplete scripture with his eyes closed.
The Scriptures for Overcoming Obstacles!
This incomplete scripture was salvaged from the Netherworld Wasteland by the ancestors of the Qiming Sect.
In the eyes of the Qiming Sect, although this scripture was profound, it had no use at all. For a thousand years, no one could decipher the true Dao and methods contained in this scripture.
But he was different. Shortly after obtaining this incomplete scripture, he had comprehended the true method from it.
"Sutra of Relief?"
The Old man on the Paper boat heard the scripture, and his gaze became complicated.
This scripture was once the true scripture of the Underworld.
However, as time passed and countless epochs went by, the World gradually lost its Underworld, leaving only the Netherworld Wasteland and the remnants of the difference.
In his memory, the image of a monster with goat’s hooves emerged.
That monster had destroyed everything.
Time passed slowly, and the Higanbana sea in front of Xu Xing gradually withered, leaving only one true red lotus swaying in the wind, exuding fragrance.
"The real Higanbana..."
"He took it."
The Old man’s face showed reluctance.
The Higanbana sea by the Other Shore River was both false and real.
Higanbana flowers picked casually would not disappear.
Although they were illusory flowers, they were a great fortune for Ghost Immortals.
"Get on the boat; I’ll take you away."
The Old man’s face returned to calm as he urged.
"Remember, do not venture into the Netherworld Wasteland lightly until you reach the Life Palace Realm," he urged once more.
"Senior..."
"My Master said that I should go to the bottom of the Other Shore River, retrieve Emperor Senluo’s inheritance, the "Senro Scripture", and cultivate his method."
Xu Xing didn’t hurry to get on the boat and took the initiative to mention his other purpose for coming to the Netherworld Wasteland.
If he didn’t have the "Senro Scripture", cultivating both paths would have little meaning for him.
Once they reached the Shaping Life Realm, Ghost Immortals and Warriors would eventually converge on the same path.
Cultivating an ordinary Cultivation Method of the Ghost Immortal Path wouldn’t be as good as focusing on the Warrior path. At least, progress would be faster.
The Immortal Blood Shi Yuyan gave him...
It could perfectly transform his body and then replicate Shi Yuyan’s path.
In the world, apart from Shi Yuyan, the creator of the "West Emperor Sutra," no one was more suitable for practicing the "West Emperor Sutra" than him.
"Emperor Senluo’s "Senro Scripture"?"
The Old man frowned. Under the cover of the Conical Hat, his eyes emitted two divine lights, penetrating Xu Xing’s body, revealing the hidden drop of Immortal Blood and the special "One Life, Two Bodies."
Has she reached that step?
The Old man was inwardly shocked. The Immortal Blood carried Shi Yuyan’s aura. He sensed it clearly; it was the blood of someone who had become an Immortal.
"Child of an Immortal!"
He now understood why "Emperor Xi" wasn’t worried about this Ghost Immortal entering the Netherworld Wasteland.
Killing the child of an Immortal!
One would surely incur the wrath of Immortals!
Last time, although Emperor Xi was defeated in the Netherworld Wasteland, she had fought one against seven.
"You, follow me."
The Old man stood up, put away the Paper boat, and tapped the water surface with a bamboo pole.
The surface of the Other Shore River parted, revealing the riverbed.
At the bottom of the river, there was a Palace.
"Emperor Senluo was a Great Emperor before Emperor Jin, Emperor Peng, and the others. At that time, there was no Ghost Immortal Path in the heaven and earth..."
"He broke into the Underworld, stole a treasure of the Netherworld, and created the Ghost Immortal Path."
The Old man led the way. As he walked through the void, with each step, an ethereal staircase appeared under his feet.
Before entering the Netherworld Wasteland, Yin Shou had told Xu Xing about the origin of the Ghost Immortal Path, saying that Ghost Immortals were sacrificial offerings to the Netherworld Wasteland.
