Chapter 362: Call Me Old Madman (2)

"The Celestial Body Dao?" High Immortal Hei Yuan\'s eyes widened in surprise. He had yet to grasp it himself, but as a powerhouse who delved into the Great Dao of Earth, he knew about the Celestial Body Dao. Very few powerhouses were able to truly cultivate this Dao.

"Dong Yang, can you instruct him?" High Immortal Hei Yuan couldn\'t help asking. "I don’t truly want to snatch a disciple from you. It\'s just that a diamond in the rough must be polished properly, lest its brilliance go to waste."

"Should we seek guidance from the immortal ancestor?" High Immortal Hei Yuan proposed.

"He is a Sword Cultivator, and I am more than capable of teaching him," Sword Immortal Dong Yang responded coolly. "As for the Celestial Body Dao? I have not fully comprehended it, but..."

Whoosh~ With a swift motion, Sword Immortal Dong Yang conjured a miniature star in the palm of his hand. The star appeared small, yet it seemed to hold a boundless expanse and deep profoundness.

The moment the star appeared, High Immortal Hei Yuan and red-robed figure tensed up, sensing that it posed a lethal threat to them.

"Unbelievable!"

"Senior Brother Dong Yang, you?" The red-robed man was flabbergasted. "You’ve actually grasped it?"

"It was merely a stroke of luck," Sword Immortal Dong Yang dismissed it flatly.

"The heavens are truly smiling upon our sect," the red-robed man exclaimed excitedly. "The immortal ancestor will surely be beyond elated to hear of this."

"There’s no rush." Sword Immortal Dong Yang shook his head. "Wait til I have surpassed the Ninth Immortal Tribulation before informing the immortal ancestor. If I fail, there is no need to tell him about this."

"However, before facing the tribulation, I will train Li Xia properly and impart everything I’ve learned in this lifetime to him," Sword Immortal Dong Yang gazed down at Wu Yuan below.

High Immortal Hei Yuan fell silent.

What a freak, I have no idea how he cultivates.

High Immortal Hei Yuan sighed inwardly.

However, he no longer objected. Sword Immortal Dong Yang\'s strength was far superior to him, beyond his imagination. Even when competing in his strongest aspect, he still lost to Sword Immortal Dong Yang.

"Senior Brother Dong Yang, when do you plan to hold the master-disciple ceremony? Will it be conducted publicly?" the red-robed man inquired.

As the leader of many High Immortals in the sect, his influence held sway throughout the immortal continent. The news that Sword Immortal Dong Yang was accepting a disciple would undoubtedly unleash a massive storm if announced publicly.

“There’s no rush. Li Xia displays remarkable talent and possesses a strong soul. His Dao Heart appears to be pure as well. Truly, he is a prodigy that a sect hardly encounters once in millions of years," Sword Immortal Dong Yang murmured. "Yet, talent is but one facet. His character holds equal importance."

"I shall keep a close eye on him and subject him to further tests."

"Furthermore, it appears he carries some secrets." A sly grin tugged at the corner of Sword Immortal Dong Yang\'s lips.

"Secrets?" The middle-aged man in red robes was startled.

"Fret not, it won’t bring harm to our Dragon Star Immortal Sect," Sword Immortal Dong Yang reassured. "Abbot, continue treating Li Xia as per usual and refrain from disrupting his routine. I have my own plans."

"Alright." The middle-aged man in red robes nodded.

Though he didn’t know what Sword Immortal Dong Yang\'s was planning, no one else in the sect was better qualified to raise a sword cultivator than Sword Immortal Dong Yang.

"Dong Yang, I know I sound nosy, but I hope you don’t squander such a promising talent," High Immortal Hei Yuan interjected.

"Fear not, Old Hei\'zi." Sword Immortal Dong Yang cast a glance in his direction. "Soon, your disciples and grand disciples will tremble the moment my disciple unsheathes his sword."

"Quality over quantity!"

Whoosh! In the blink of an eye, Sword Immortal Dong Yang vanished from his position.

"You!" High Immortal Hei Yuan fumed.

He enjoyed teaching disciples, and throughout the ages, he had mentored over ten direct disciples, and hundreds of nominal disciples. As for the number of grand disciples he had, he didn’t bother keeping count.

"That damned Dong Yang. May you never find a Dao companion in this lifetime!” High Immortal Heiyuan seethed, vanishing in a flash.

The middle-aged man in red robes chuckled at this exchange before departing.

...

Wu Yuan stood on a jade platform adjacent to the Star Origin Soil, his powerful and majestic aura now returned to its usual state.

As he opened his eyes, his pupils reflected his disbelief and shock. It wasn’t only his qi refiner self. Even his body refiner self in the distant Middle Land looked shaken.

‘The Celestial Body Law Codex’. Drawing upon the principles of the evolution of celestial bodies, Great Eldritch Kua Fu? The inheritance of a Great Eldritch is actually hidden within this Star Origin Soil? Wu Yuan felt his heart quivering.

This was no ordinary inheritance or law codex.

A Great Eldritch! From the inheritance memories of his body refiner self, Wu Yuan understood that such a being was even stronger than a typical Archeldritch.

Even throughout the vast river of time and space, they were titanic figures.

I wonder what connection exists between this Great Eldritch Kua Fu and the Kua Fu of the myths and legends in my previous life? [1] Unable to find an answer, he decided not to dwell on it.

This law codex is truly remarkable. Wu Yuan marveled, perceiving the profound imprint left on his soul. The inheritance memories of my body refiner self pale in comparison.

Visions of falling meteorites played out before his mind\'s eye with a thought, each scene vivid and clear. In particular, the last voice he heard lingered within his soul, its commanding and passionate tone deeply affecting him.

Due to the heavenly endowed eldritch tattoos of my body refiner self, I received many powerful ether arts, but they are merely arts, not encompassing the true Dao or Laws. He understood this truth well.

While his inheritance memories included various teachings, most only taught the application methods. The few that delved into Dao comprehension required diligent study and contemplation.

The Celestial Body Law Codex inheritance he had recently acquired, however, was different.

This inheritance contained the spiritual imprint of Great Eldritch Kua Fu, providing clear guidance along the correct path. Wu Yuan could feel himself progressing steadily under its influence.

While the law codex might not be the strongest in terms of pure combat prowess, it accelerated Wu Yuan’s breakthroughs, allowing him to deepen his Dao comprehension.

The Dao is the foundation. Wu Yuan\'s eyes burned with fervor. The Celestial Body Law Codex allows me to contemplate the Dao at a far faster rate than if I were to contemplate the Star Origin Soil.

He gazed at the Star Origin Soil in the distance. It operated via the laws of nature, containing the profundity of Earth. But could it compare to the profound knowledge etched within the deepest part of his soul by the Celestial Body Law Codex?

Certainly not!

Throughout the countless ages, I’m guessing barely anyone within the sect has managed to obtain the ‘Celestial Body Law Codex’ inheritance. Wu Yuan pondered. But the Star Origin Soil can serve as a guide for generations of disciples within our sect.

He grasped the distinction between the two. The presence of the Star Origin Soil here was akin to a public lecture, accessible to all at any time and place.

On the other hand, the Celestial Body Law Codex was more akin to private tutoring, providing personal mentorship.

Celestial Body! Wu Yuan gave a mental command, conjuring a faint glowing thread of light imbued with boundless power.

The so-called Celestial Body Dao likely encompasses the entirety of the Land Dao. Wu Yuan reflected.

Hm? Wu Yuan’s head snapped up abruptly, his startled gaze fixed on a grimy, black-robed old man who had seemingly materialized out of thin air not far from him.

How? Wu Yuan\'s pupils constricted.

The protective array surrounding the jade platform had not been triggered at all. How had this figure managed to sneak in undetected?

Furthermore, upon initial inspection, Wu Yuan sensed no aura emanating from the stranger. He seemed nothing more than a common mortal.

Who was he?

"You may refer to me as Old Madman," the disheveled old man grinned, his teeth stained a yellowish hue.
