Chapter 346: Bamboo Hut in the Forest, the Immortal King Imparts the Dao

At this moment, Lin Bai, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped, turned his head, and said in shock.

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao and two others who were investigating elsewhere in the rear hurried over.

They followed Lin Bai's gaze and looked in that direction.

They saw ahead in the forest an open clearing with a hut made of bamboo.

Moreover, thick purple qi and mighty immortal aura gathered around the hut, making its status extraordinary.

"Strange, how could there be a hut in the Purple Bamboo Immortal Forest? Who lives here?"

"Could it be junior fellow disciples who came here for training?"

"That shouldn't be the case; there's a time limit here—each entry can't exceed three days, and no disciple would do this."

Shi Hao's face showed doubt; another reason he could be so certain was his intuition.

This hut is very likely where our opportunity lies.

"Hiss! Senior brother, do you still remember the words carved on that purple stone tablet?"

"In the Purple Bamboo Forest lies the Purple Bamboo Immortal; in the Purple Bamboo Forest, one seeks the immortal's destiny."

"You mean this might be the residence of that Purple Bamboo Immortal senior?"

Lin Bai's words suddenly enlightened Shi Hao and the two others.

Hua Qianyu: "Senior brother is right; this is very possible."

Yun Lan: "If so, let's go inside and take a look."

"The hut need not be luxurious; with an immortal, it becomes extraordinary."

"Thinking this way, this bamboo hut actually has a unique charm."

After carefully observing the bamboo hut ahead, Lin Bai spoke.

Afterwards, the four of them planned to enter the hut to investigate.

Just then, the hut's door opened on its own.

"I didn't expect that in such a short time a disciple could find this place—not bad, not bad."

"This shows that you are fated with me."

A figure in purple clothing, petite and exquisite, walked out and spoke.

She was very cute, with crescent-moon eyebrows above a pair of lively, watery eyes.

"Huh? What is this?"

Seeing this, Shi Hao and the others paused, stopping their steps.

"Looking at your attire, you must be inner disciples and sequence disciples."

The purple-clad girl saw them all showing doubtful expressions, so she spoke again.

"What the senior said is correct, but may I ask who the senior is?"

Shi Hao was the first to react, respectfully clasping his fists.

This senior appears to be about the same age as us, yet I cannot see through him at all.

"Could it be..."

"I, this immortal, have been ordered by the Sect Master to manage this bamboo forest; you may call me Purple Bamboo Elder."

Elsewhere, atop the Azure Cloud Immortal Peak.

Feng Qingyang took in all of this situation with his eyes.

"Their gain this time will definitely not be small."

"Although I am their master, I'm too lazy... I have no time to teach them things, so this is fine."

Feng Qingyang withdrew his gaze and murmured.

Not bad, Shi Hao and the four being able to reach the Purple Bamboo Elder's hut is entirely due to my indication.

Otherwise, do you think the realm of Tenfold Immortal King is just for eating dry rice?

Moreover, where in this world does all this talk of fate come from?

In the Purple Bamboo Immortal Forest, before that bamboo hut.

At this moment, Shi Hao and the four have figured it out.

The Purple Bamboo Elder is the elder who manages the Purple Bamboo Forest, and they guessed that the Purple Bamboo Immortal mentioned on the stone tablet is none other than the Purple Bamboo Elder before them.

I never expected that we would stumble upon this place by chance—truly a matter of fate.

"Alright, this immortal won't say much more."

"As those fated with me, for the next period, I will guide your cultivation and impart some things to you."

"Let's start with you," Miu Zizhu pointed at Shi Hao, who was nearest to her.

"You mainly cultivate fist intent, right?"

"First perform a set of fist techniques so this immortal can see."

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao nodded.

After taking a deep breath, he began to circulate his own cultivation technique, the Supreme Samsara Law.

Mighty Overheaven Immortal Dao power surged out wildly.

"Supreme Samsara Fist!"

Shi Hao's robes billowed instantly; after a furious shout, he began throwing punches.

Each punch seemed to possess the force of splitting bamboo, and his domineering fist intent erupted instantly.

"Senior brother's cultivation is not only extremely high, his fist intent has also improved greatly!"

Not far away, Lin Bai exclaimed in shock, his handsome face full of admiration.

"Stop, stop, stop, your fist technique is terrible."

"Only its form, without its intent."

Miu Zizhu frowned slightly and spoke up to interrupt.

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao's face filled with surprise as he stopped.

"Now I will demonstrate once; watch closely with wide eyes."

Having said that, Miu Zizhu made a fist and began to swing.

She used no cultivation or technique, merely throwing punches based on her own understanding.

Yet it left Shi Hao and the three others utterly entranced.

Especially Shi Hao, whose brows were tightly furrowed at this moment.

He only felt that after Elder Zizhu threw a punch, her entire demeanor changed drastically, like that of a heavenly immortal king, capable of shattering myriad worlds with a single blow.

In his eyes, Elder Zizhu's casually thrown punches were each at the extreme of speed, yet seemed also at the extreme of slowness.

"Only the form, without the intent," Shi Hao murmured; at this moment he seemed to grasp something, yet could not hold onto it.

"Alright, I've finished my demonstration; have you gained any insight?"

Shi Hao shook his head upon hearing that, and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted: "You definitely haven't; go over there and throw a hundred thousand punches before speaking again."

With those words, Shi Hao said no more and silently walked toward a nearby spot.

Afterward, Miu Zizhu turned her gaze to Lin Bai and the three others.

"One with an Azure Lotus Sword Body, one with a Cloud Sword Immortal Body, and one with a Phoenix Immortal Body—not bad."

"Hey there, little girl, do you also cultivate the sword way?"

Miu Zizhu glanced at the three of them, then finally set her eyes on Hua Qingyu.

"Yes, senior; Qingyu also cultivates the sword way as a secondary path."

Hua Qingyu paused for a moment, then quickly spoke up.

"Although it feels a bit strange to be called 'little girl' by an elder about my age, don't forget that in the cultivation world, one must never judge by appearance."

"Senior, your cultivation is so high; you must have trained for ages, so calling me 'little girl' is perfectly normal."

"Well then, today I won't teach you to play with fire, lest I burn down my little wooden hut."

"Let's first teach you sword techniques."

"The way of the sword is further divided into the Five Realms of the Mundane Sword and the Five Realms of the Immortal Dao, making ten realms in all—no, to be precise, the sword way is just like the path of cultivation, with no ultimate realm."

"They say that if you don't enter the immortal realm, you'll forever be an ant; but as long as your sword-realm is strong enough, even slaying immortals as a mortal is no problem."

Miu Zizhu finished speaking to herself, and with a thought, her entire demeanor changed once again.

If just now she seemed like the supreme master of fists, then now she is like the emperor of swords.

All that could be seen was her extending her finger, which transformed into a sword, and she began to wave it about casually.

Although there was no fluctuation of cultivation power, suddenly a great wind arose, and the very space of this realm trembled.

Soon after, the scene shifted abruptly: the fierce wind turned into a gentle breeze, yet the leaves of the purple immortal bamboo not far away inexplicably split in two.

(Are you big shots just slacking off like this? Don't worry, we'll ascend and get to work right away. Your urging for updates is my greatest motivation.)
