Chapter 215: 【Song Wuming, Taking the White Ape as Master】 (Second update, seeking)

The 311th year of the Supernatural Power Era, which is to say, over two thousand eight hundred years ago.

Lu Chengtong, the fourth-generation Patriarch of the Lu Family, accepted a white ape beast as an old servant in the Shuize Mountain Range, taught him the Opening Heaven Sword Technique, bestowed upon him the Dao Fruit 【Spring Breeze Turns to Rain】, and then departed.

Ever since then, the white ape, who gained the name Yuanbai, had been waiting for Lu Chengtong's summons, waiting to contribute his strength when his master needed him.

Meanwhile, he silently cultivated the Sword Dao, using the Supernatural Power 【Spring Breeze Turns to Rain】 to protect his path, surviving many crises; by now, he had become a demon immortal at the level of a terrestrial deity, and had achieved a unique level of cultivation in the Sword Dao.

Although he had already gained the ability to be reborn, he still maintained the appearance of a white ape, all so that when his master saw him, he could recognize him at first glance.

Three years ago, a Treasure Mirror suddenly appeared in his mind.

Within the Treasure Mirror, various pieces of information were manifested.

This included the identity of his master Lu Chengtong, and the development, glory, and destruction of the Lu Immortal Clan.

Then the Treasure Mirror fell silent for three years, until two days ago, when it provided a hint.

It told him to come to this temple and adopt a young child named Song Wuming as his disciple.

Song Wuming, four years of age, was an illegitimate child abandoned by his parents at birth, hence he had no name; because the character "Song" was embroidered on his clothes, he was named Song Wuming, and he was taken in at the Yongding Temple in Tian Bao Yu, Donghua Zhenzhou, Yuanshuo Jie.

According to the Treasure Mirror's hint, this person was one of the last remaining bloodlines of his master Lu Chengtong, so he came to adopt him.

Yuanbai explained the general information to Puhua Daoist, and then Puhua Daoist nodded and said:

"Since that is the case, this is Wuming's karmic connection; I will call him out now."

Song Wuming, wearing a Daoist robe that was clearly too big for him, was called into the courtyard; upon seeing the White Ape Sword Immortal, not only was he not afraid, but he instead curiously sized up the other party.

And the moment Yuanbai saw Song Wuming, he nearly burst into tears.

For no other reason than that this Song Wuming actually bore a seventy-percent resemblance to Lu Chengtong!

According to the Treasure Mirror, this Song Wuming should be considered of the 'Lan' generation, separated from Lu Chengtong by several generations, yet he possessed such a similar face; how could this not make Yuanbai agitated!?

Could it be that this person was his master's reincarnation!

As soon as this thought popped up, he dismissed it.

It was a Great Luo Demon Immortal who slaughtered the Lu Immortal Clan; such a terrifying existence could not possibly have let a member of the Lu clan go.

This Song Wuming was originally an illegitimate child with no Spirit Root—that is, an ordinary person whose Five Elements Spiritual Roots were all Low-Grade—and after being abandoned, he had no connection to the Song Family, and even less to the Lu Family.

But at this moment, he was directly linked to the fate of the Lu Family.

For a time, all the karmic entanglements surrounding him became completely blurred.

The karma of a mere mortal was now something even an Immortal Venerable could not discern the truth of.

"Wuming, hurry and pay your respects to your master; this is the White Ape Sword Immortal. Today he accepts you as his disciple, you must cherish this well."

Upon hearing this, Song Wuming immediately knelt down and said crisply:

"Wuming pays respects to Master!"

He had not taken Puhua Daoist as his master; Puhua Daoist had only taken him in and treated him as an ordinary person, without teaching him any Spells, as he had no way to teach someone with the talent of a Low-Grade Five Elements Spiritual Root.

Therefore, Song Wuming had nothing to hesitate about in taking a master.

Yuanbai laughed aloud:

"Good! From now on, you are my disciple."

Subsequently, Yuanbai left behind a sum of Spirit Stones and some Spirit Pills as repayment for Puhua Daoist raising Song Wuming these past few years.

Puhua Daoist naturally accepted them all.

Since the other party said this child carried great karma, by accepting the items, he would be considered free of that karma; if he did not accept them, there was no telling what might happen later.

He was merely a cultivator with ordinary talent, and he dared not get involved in any karma.

Not many years later, many people knew that the White Ape Sword Immortal had taken on a disciple with mediocre talent.

Every day was spent practicing sword techniques and contemplating the Dao, without teaching him Qi Refining.

Some people saw Song Wuming for the first time and saw he was a mortal; ten years later they saw him again, and he was still a mortal; twenty years later, he was still a mortal.

Time arrived at the 3147th year of the Supernatural Power Era.

Song Wuming opened his eyes, a golden gleam flashed through them, and a blade of grass not far away was suddenly severed.

Yuanbai dropped down from a tree, looked at Song Wuming on the stone, and smiled:

"Not bad, today you have finally perfected the Small Self Dao. Thirty-four years old, at the perfection of the Dao Integration Realm, very good, very good."

Song Wuming, however, was not proud, but instead sighed and said:

"But Master, without spiritual power, I only wield the Sword Dao; the power I can unleash is limited after all!"

Yuanbai smiled:

"Cultivating spiritual power is the easiest thing; I could infuse you with immortal spiritual energy and help you become a terrestrial deity in a single day, but the Great Dao is hard to cultivate, and if you cannot attain the true Dao, I give you spiritual power, but you cannot survive the Heavenly Tribulation—wouldn't everything be for nothing?

Today your Small Self Dao is perfected, but you have not reached the peak; on this continent, there are still many people who surpass you in the Sword Dao.

You need to be tempered; pack up, we are going to visit a few powerful Sword Cultivators and let them help you grow."

Upon hearing this, Song Wuming immediately responded respectfully, then quickly went to pack.

Yuanbai needed to follow, because he had to continuously apply the 【Learning from the Past】 Supernatural Power to Song Wuming.

Within his own body, there were no other Dao Seeds; he still only had the 【Spring Breeze Turns to Rain】 Dao Seed.

If multiple Supernatural Power Dao Seeds appeared in one person's body, it would inevitably attract the prying eyes of certain Great Luo Golden Immortals, because only the master of the Treasure Mirror could fuse multiple Dao Seeds.

The Treasure Mirror was currently hidden within his own body, and this matter must absolutely not be known by a second person.

Therefore, Yuanbai only activated the Treasure Mirror's ability to apply the Supernatural Power to Song Wuming.

And he only activated the Supernatural Power effect at the level of a terrestrial deity, without unleashing the Supernatural Power might of his top-tier Eight-Turn Profound Immortal primordial spirit.

Song Wuming had a Low-Grade Five Elements Spiritual Root; cultivating spiritual power was a waste of time, and it was better for Yuanbai to directly infuse him with spiritual power.

So Yuanbai did not let him cultivate spiritual power, only his primordial spirit and Sword Dao; now, with the help of the Supernatural Power's might, he had achieved perfection in the Dao Integration Realm in thirty years.

It could be considered that his hard work had not been in vain.

The Small Self Dao is the foundation for achieving the True Immortal Dao Core, the Profound Immortal Dao Map, and the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit; this counts as the first step into the Dao.

Yuanbai had not yet told Song Wuming anything about the Lu Family.

He had not told him the coordinates of the Lu Clan's Xian Jing Kong Jian recorded within the Treasure Mirror, nor had he even opened it.

He had also not carried out the final arrangements Lu Runping made before his death.

It was not yet the time.

Yuanbai had been able to cultivate steadily for nearly three thousand years, and having reached the level of a Land Immortal one thousand years ago, he still had the patience to hold back and not ascend.

There was no rush; as long as the person was there, nothing would be too late.

He would help fulfill the master's dying wish and the glory of the Lu Clan one by one, but this required time and patience.

In the blink of an eye, another year passed, and the master and disciple arrived within Beihuang Yu to visit the legendary Sword Immortal couple.
