Chapter 140: Potential to Become an Immortal
The white-haired elder began to quicken his pace, rushing toward Xiwan City.
Atop the city walls, many Demon Soldiers were stationed. Even with snow filling the sky, they quickly spotted the figure of the white-haired elder.
"Stop right there!"
A Shape-Shifting Great Demon bellowed angrily, transformed from a goose, lacking the gentleness of a white goose but instead appearing extremely fierce.
To have cultivated to this realm, he must have experienced countless slaughters.
Compared with the Human Clan, the infighting within the Demon Clan was even more brutal.
The white-haired elder ignored the Goose Demon's angry shout and continued to approach Xiwan City.
Seeing the white-haired elder getting closer to the city walls, the Goose Demon, enraged, picked up the long spear in his hands, ready to kill.
Whoosh!
Just then, a sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a cold light flashed over the head of the Goose Demon—it was a sword!
Zhou Wu Sword!
Heading straight for the white-haired elder.
The white-haired elder's eyes grew cold, and his right fist thundered out. The Zhou Wu Sword, not yet having reached him, was already forced to a stop by the wind from his punch.
"Hmph!"
He snorted lightly and with a shake of his right arm, sent the Zhou Wu Sword flying back.
The Zhou Wu Sword spun and flew backward, traversing thousands of meters, disappearing into Xiwan City.
"Who goes there?"
Su Yie's voice followed, and then he flew over on his sword.
The white-haired elder's lips curved up as he declared aloud, "I am Fang Tian, seeking the Demon Lord for a matter!"
Fang Tian!
Those two characters caused the faces of the monsters on the city walls to drastically change.
Recently, besides Su Yie, the most prominent figure had the name Fang Tian!
Fang Tian Divine Fist!
"Come in."
Su Yie's voice drifted from within the city, his tone calm, seemingly not the least bit shocked.
Thus, Fang Tian Divine Fist entered the city under the awe-struck gazes of the monsters.
Even without Su Yie personally receiving him, he quickly found the skyscraper where Su Yie resided.
Reaching the top floor of the skyscraper, he saw Su Yie, who was meditating in cultivation, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Truly the Great Cang Invincible Body. That pressure stemming deep from your bloodline, though faint, certainly exists," spoke Fang Tian Divine Fist, his words filled with admiration.
Su Yie opened his eyes and asked, "What brings the renowned Fang Tian Divine Fist here?"
Fang Tian Divine Fist walked up to within three meters of him, seated himself on the ground, and chuckled, "Renowned, I dare not claim, especially not compared to you."
He had been embarrassed by Divine Physique Hall, while Su Yie had caused embarrassment for Divine Physique Hall. Thus, during this period, Su Yie's reputation really had surpassed his.
Of course, that was only temporary.
"Speak, why have you come? Of course, if you're just visiting, I'm also welcoming."
Su Yie asked straightforwardly, having considerable interest in Fang Tian Divine Fist.
He had many opportunities to pull Fang Tian Divine Fist into his sect, but he had never done so, just to see if Fang Tian Divine Fist could make him regret it.
Having heard this, Fang Tian Divine Fist's smiling face grew serious, and his entire demeanor suddenly changed from a genial old man to a formidable and invincible fighter.
"Vengeance! I wish to join forces with you to destroy Divine Physique Hall! Even if we can't destroy them completely, we'll make them suffer!"
Fang Tian Divine Fist declared in a deep voice, grinding his teeth as he spoke.
Su Yie was stupefied for a moment, somewhat surprised.
Vengeance against Divine Physique Hall?
Was Fang Tian Divine Fist that ruthless?
He inexplicably took a liking to Fang Tian Divine Fist, like himself, avenging grudges immediately—not acting like a gentleman!
"You trust me that much?"
Su Yie squinted and asked, as he had recently been contemplating this very issue.
If the Fang Tian Divine Fist could assist, that would be excellent.
However, he still maintained his caution.
One must never be without a guard against others.
"You've already made the Holy Lord of War suffer, whether from your own strength or the backing you have. You deserve this qualification. Moreover, you are the Great Cang Invincible Body. Even if your cultivation realm may face restraints, breaking through in physical strength is as easy as drinking water,"
the Fang Tian Divine Fist said earnestly, his gaze meeting Su Yie's without any evasion.
The shame of the Plains of Flames, he simply could not endure it.
Su Yie pondered, so the meaning of the Fang Tian Divine Fist was to help him become stronger?
He indeed wanted to seek revenge on the Divine Physique Hall, but he could not rest easy about the Bailing Territory.
At least he could not leave for now.
What if they had just left and the Divine Physique Hall came after them right after? Would it not be very awkward?
Seeing Su Yie hesitating somewhat, the Fang Tian Divine Fist spoke up, "Don't rush; I will give you time. During this period, I will help you become stronger. Your current strength really isn't sufficient."
Is it that good?
Su Yie was even more puzzled. Could it be that I am the protagonist?
Everywhere I go, there's an old driver ready to teach me?
First Xia Tianyi, then Lu Ziwei, and now the Fang Tian Divine Fist?
Who granted me such supreme luck?
"I, Fang Tian, have never been humiliated in my life. I can't bear it!"
The Fang Tian Divine Fist snorted coldly, his mustache trembling with anger every time he thought of the Divine Physique Hall.
"Can you tell me what you were doing in the Plains of Flames?"
Enjoy new adventures from empire
Su Yie voiced the question he most wanted to know while inwardly thinking, Who asked you to be so ostentatious?
Who else to deal with if not you?
"It's no harm to tell you, just right to make you stronger!"
While speaking, the Fang Tian Divine Fist flipped open his right hand, revealing a golden flame within his palm.
"This is the Essence of Earth Fire!"
…
Jiaye Temple.
Ling Sang was chanting scriptures in front of the Buddha hall, motionless apart from his mouth, like a wooden stake.
At this moment, a figure came rushing out hurriedly.
"Master! Master! I must find Su Yie!"
Wearing a grey robe, Nan Xiaopao ran in quickly, her voice urgent.
Ling Sang, without turning his head, responded, "Why so hasty? Can't you maintain the solemnity of a Buddhist disciple?"
"I can't! I heard from sister that Su Yie is accompanied by the most beautiful woman of the Seven Dynasties. How can I tolerate this?"
Nan Xiaopao moved closer to Ling Sang, her pretty face filled with distress.
Wux Qingyao is one thing, but now there's Xiang Yu too!
Nan Xiaopao felt like her hair had turned green.
Ling Sang opened his eyes, glanced affectionately at Nan Xiaopao, and said earnestly, "Don't worry. Your beloved also has only you in his heart. While in Jiaye Temple, there were no intimate actions between them, or any other men. It is hard for men to maintain such discipline in front of such beauties."
"Moreover, I can see that romantic love is not what he values most."
Nan Xiaopao was happy at first, but her face soured again upon hearing the latter remark.
"Then what does he value most?"
Nan Xiaopao asked. During her stay in the Jiaye Temple, Ling Sang had taught her much, not only in cultivation but also in life's philosophies.
She enjoyed talking with Ling Sang immensely, always learning something new.
"He has the heart of a true strong man, purely intent on strength. Have you not noticed the sense of loneliness in his eyes? It's not due to the absence of company but stems from his soul."
Ling Sang spoke patiently, recalling Su Yie's demeanor in his mind, his expression growing more meaningful.
"If this young man does not die young, he is destined to shake the world, even achieve immortality!"
At these words, Nan Xiaopao became immediately excited, as if Ling Sang's words were about her.
She now understood Ancient Wilderness well — in the Ancient Wilderness, becoming immortal was only a legend, immortals were ethereal and elusive, making Ling Sang's appraisal of Su Yie almost the highest of praises.
