Chapter 220: 【Guarding Daluo, A Past Event】(Part 1, Seeking)

Before stepping into the Mysterious Immortal Realm, Song Wuming would never go to spar with disciples of the Mysterious Immortal Realm; on one hand, it was to spare their face, and on the other, he felt that even if he did spar with them, he would be unable to comprehend their true Dao.

A First-Turn Mysterious Immortal represents the condensation of one Mysterious Dao Diagram within the body, and the second turn means two.

Having one extra Dao Diagram means having an additional three hundred and sixty Dao Cores and one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred strands of Dao Rhyme.

The time required to truly master the sword path of a Mysterious Immortal is extremely long.

Yet at this time, he had also condensed a Mysterious Dao Diagram, and it was condensed using the power of the world as a foundation combined with Dao Rhyme, possessing even more Great Dao substance, so when contemplating the sword path cultivation of the Mysterious Immortal Realm, the time consumed was shorter and the knowledge acquired was greater.

Within his body, he possessed the Supernatural Power imprint of 【Reviewing the Old to Learn the New】, and at the same time, he had the Treasure Mirror to bless him with this Supernatural Power, causing his comprehension ability regarding the sword path to always remain at a very high level.

Possessing numerous Supernatural Powers, they all pointed toward a single origin Great Dao, and through the mastery of different sword paths, he verified his insights into different Great Daos.

With all these conditions added together, his cultivation improved at a high speed.

Song Wuming knew how great a karma he carried on his body, so he upheld an attitude of keeping a low profile; although he challenged various disciples along the way, he did not display an arrogant or complacent appearance, and every time, he would very respectfully express his thanks, thanking the senior brothers and sisters for their guidance.

The identity of a disciple of the Upper Clarity Spirit Hall could very well cover up the things on his person, but this had to be established on the premise of not provoking other matters.

Yet some matters are impossible to avoid.

The Ba Chong Tian possesses the best cultivation environment, but staying here comes with a price.

Any disciple of a top-tier Immortal Sect force, after stepping into the Mysterious Immortal Realm for fifty years, must head to Daluo Tian to guard for fifty years.

Thereafter, every five hundred years, one needs to guard for another fifty years; once you achieve the Golden Immortal stage, this requirement no longer exists.

But almost all Golden Immortals live within Daluo Tian, because that is the place where one can most directly comprehend the Great Dao, which can better improve one's cultivation.

Therefore, there is no need for further requirements; when extraterrestrial demons in Daluo Tian impact the world, they will bear the brunt of it.

As it happened, Seventh Senior Sister Huo Miaolan had also reached the time when she needed to go and guard again, so the two of them arrived at Daluo Tian together.

At a glance, this place was empty and vast, with scattered stars in the distance flickering with light.

The so-called Daluo Tian is the vast universe; its scope is simply too large.

The two found a star to settle down on; next, they only needed to wait for extraterrestrial demons to appear, strike the world barrier, and after ripples were produced, eliminate them.

The number of extraterrestrial demons was not small, but they were not a dense, massive swarm either.

Their appearance had a certain degree of randomness, yet also carried a certain periodicity.

What could be determined was that within three to five days, one or several extraterrestrial demons would certainly appear, with battle power above the True Immortal Realm; as for the highest level they might reach, that was not certain.

But most were at the True Immortal Realm, a minority were at the Mysterious Immortal level, and a very small number could reach the level of Golden Immortal.

The two of them were not guarding the same piece of territory together, but were guarding two adjacent regions.

Being together also allowed them to look out for one another.

The guarding mission seems dull, but it is actually very dangerous; once an extraterrestrial demon stronger than oneself appears and one cannot escape in time, one might perish.

Even Golden Immortals can die here, let alone mere Mysterious Immortals.

In the blink of an eye, twenty years passed; over these years, having experienced life and death together several times, the relationship between Song Wuming and Huo Miaolan became much closer, and toward Song Wuming, Huo Miaolan no longer had the cold, icy attitude from when they first met.

This day, she even took the initiative to speak of a past event of hers.

That year, she and her parents left home and traveled for over thirty years, witnessing the vastness and danger of the Dixian Jie; her parents suggested returning to continue secluded cultivation, but she refused, wanting to continue traveling, when in reality she wanted to search for news about a certain person.

Then, three years later, they encountered a Demon Immortal and a Fierce Beast fighting; they were both at the Mysterious Immortal Realm.

The Demon Immortal lured the Fierce Beast toward them and then fled.

That Fierce Beast determined that they were in cahoots with that Demon Immortal, and in the end, her parents paid the price of perishing together, using their two lives to desperately eliminate the Fierce Beast and preserve her.

It was at that moment that her emotions reached their peak, and afterward, she mastered the true Peach Blossom Sword Intent, and her sword path cultivation became smooth.

She wanted to kill that Demon Immortal to take revenge, but she lacked the ability and could only settle her heart to cultivate; unexpectedly, that Demon Immortal actually sensed something, and instead of Huo Miaolan going to find him for revenge, he came first to kill her to settle the karma.

Using all her abilities, she only held on for two moves, and when she fell into a coma, she was saved by the passing Sixth Senior Brother Cheng Yan, who also slew that Demon Immortal.

Finally, she was brought into the Immortal Gate and, by the Master's decree, became a True Disciple.

This karma ended there, but Huo Miaolan could never let it go in her heart; she felt that if she hadn't been headstrong back then and insisted on continuing to search for that person's tracks, there wouldn't have been the subsequent danger her parents encountered.

And after her parents died, finding that person became an obsession in her heart.

Song Wuming asked curiously:

"That person, what is his name?"

Huo Miaolan replied:

"An ascender from the Yuanshuo Jie, Lv Gong."

Suddenly, Song Wuming's body jolted.

He was naturally incomparably familiar with this name.

The most legendary figure of the Yuanshuo Jie back then, and at the same time, one of the aliases of his ancestor, Lu Runping.

Seeing this reaction from Song Wuming, Huo Miaolan said in surprise:

"What, have you heard this name?"

Song Wuming nodded upon hearing this:

"I ascended from the Yuanshuo Jie; Lv Gong of the Tianyu Immortal Sect is a legend of the Yuanshuo Jie. It is rumored that this person was devoted to the Dao and never had any romantic entanglements; when faced with the pursuit of several fairies, he remained indifferent."

"What a coincidence! You are actually from the Yuanshuo Jie! Tell me, tell me what you know about Lv Gong!"

Huo Miaolan said with pleasant surprise.

She was desperate to learn some information about Lv Gong; Song Wuming knew that in this situation, if he did not help, she might develop a heart demon.

Thus, he nodded and began to recount.

The vast majority of it was what Huo Miaolan had heard before, the same as what Lu Runping had recounted previously, but there were also some things that Lu Runping had skipped over, which were now being told through Song Wuming here.

And the image of Lv Gong became even richer.

After Song Wuming finished telling all the news he knew about Lv Gong, Huo Miaolan finally sighed.

"What does it matter if I know more? In the vast world, the heavenly secrets are shrouded in fog, and it is simply impossible to find him. In the end, it is just a thought."

After pondering for a moment, Song Wuming spoke up:

"Perhaps I can help you find his whereabouts."
