Chapter 776: Greatest Powerhouse
At the highest point on Mount Wuzhi, 3 n as imposing as towering mountains stood proudly with their hands behind their backs.
They were the 3 renowned Venerable Ones from Mount Wuzhi.
Lingfeng the Venerable One, Tiandao the Venerable One, and Huanying the Venerable One.
The 3 Venerable Ones were looking in front with grave looks on their faces at the mont. They were staring at a void that was filled with nurous clouds and mist, but as sharp-eyed as they were, they could not see through the layers of mist. Nonetheless, they still fixed their gazes on the sa spot. Despite the whistling wind around them or the dazzling sunlight that was occasionally visible in the distance, they were not distracted at all.
After an unknown period, the 3 Venerable Ones suddenly looked up at the sa ti as though they had rehearsed this countless tis before.
In actuality, they were only overreacting because they heard a sound coming from the mist in front of them.
Given their identities and strengths, the fact that they would also be agitated and forget themselves was simply unbelievable. Even so, they could not be bothered about how they acted at this ti because they only cared about the person inside the mist.
All of a sudden, the clouds and mist began to undulate as if a giant fan had suddenly appeared inside to stir up the calm clouds and mist.
The 3 Venerable Ones exchanged glances and noticed how surprised yet overjoyed they all were.
Before this, the clouds and mist were lifeless like the being in the middle and seed to have lost all sense of life. Who knew, they suddenly started to move and surge intensely. Did this an that the being in the middle had recovered to his peak state?
Tiandao the Venerable One shouted without warning, “Martial Uncle!”
Lingfeng the Venerable One and Huanying the Venerable One were moved. When they sensed the sign of the clouds and mist circulating, they also called out with excitent, “Master Kurong!”
Instead of being reversed like how Venerable Ones should be, they were indescribably enthusiastic at this mont.
Following their shouts, the clouds and mist rolled more intensely as though they echoed with the voices. After a brief mont, Lingfeng the Venerable One and the 2 others could see the clouds and mist spreading to the sides to slowly make so space in the middle.
Upon seeing this, the Venerable Ones were elated.
Sure enough, the Eternal Pill unleashed its magical effect and allowed Danzhou’s greatest human powerhouse from Mount Wuzhi to have a new lease of life.
As the clouds and mist dispersed bit by bit, a figure was revealed in the middle.
The figure was not tall. Perhaps he was in a weak state for far too long, he could almost be described as a bag of bones.
Nevertheless, the figure floated quietly in mid-air. What was stranger was the fact that no aura was fluctuating around him.
A Venerable One could communicate with Heaven and Earth using one’s body, where one could fly in the sky without the help of any equipnt. This was the sign of a Venerable One, by which only those that could fly using their bodies could be considered Venerable Ones.
Having said that, as powerful as Venerable One was, one must use a secret technique to communicate with the space to float in the air. In particular, one would usually have extra consumption whenever one flew. If one wanted to float in mid-air without moving an inch like the figure in the middle, the consumption would certainly be unbelievable.
What moved everyone was the absence of energy fluctuation around the figure at the mont. It was as though his body had beco one with his surroundings, by which he had beco a part of the void.
Lingfeng the Venerable One and the 2 other Venerable Ones were wild with joy. Especially for Tiandao the Venerable Ones, his eyes were even glistening with tears.
The person in the void opened his eyes slowly. Muscles were nearly not visible on his face. If it was not because he was moving his body, the others would have thought that he was a skeleton.
“Phew... The Eternal Pill has a well-deserved reputation indeed. My body was already nearing the end, and yet a fire of life burst out,” Master Kurong remarked.
Tiandao the Venerable One bead. “Martial Uncle, you’re blessed by heaven so of course, you can turn your misfortune into a blessing.”
Master Kurong smiled, but his smile looked scary on his old face at the mont. Subsequently, he slowly stepped out into the void as if an invisible power was supporting him to move forward.
Lingfeng the Venerable One and the others had splendid lusters in their eyes. They could also walk on air, but this was the exact reason they knew very well how difficult it would be to do that.
If they perford a similar skill, they might not shake the earth, but they would at least be majestic and cause surging airflows that were similar to strong winds.
On the other hand, everything was calm beneath Master Kurong’s legs and gave off a plain and natural feeling. If the Venerable Ones had not witnessed this, they would have thought that the master was simply walking on flat ground.
“Martial Uncle, are you...” Tiandao the Venerable One took a step forward and asked carefully, “Are you going to take that step?”
Master Kurong arrived at the peak from the precipice in a split second. He responded, “I’m already at the end of my life, but I could vaguely sense the threshold while I was on the verge of death. Heh, it’s wishful thinking for to actually take that step now.”
He denied it right away, but Lingfeng the Venerable One and the others were delighted.
They knew Master Kurong was a prudent person. Since he said that he had sensed the threshold, it ant that he had found the road of advancent. Although the master had not reached the standard yet, he was no longer walking in the dark without knowing where he should head to.
Lingfeng the Venerable One took a deep breath and congratulated him, “Congratulations, Master Kurong.
Master Kurong waved his hand and noted, “I profited from a misfortune this ti but since I consud an Eternal Pill, I’ve now sown karma with the Phoenixes. Ah, it won’t be easy to repay this favor in the future.” The Phoenixes were a formidable race. Even if he wanted to repay the kindness, they might not appreciate it.
Lingfeng the Venerable One quickly stated, “Master Kurong, the Eternal Pill wasn’t obtained from the Phoenixes, but their ssenger, who’s only... An Interdiate Spiritualist.”
“An Interdiate Spiritualist—the Phoenixes’ ssenger?” Master Kurong was slightly stunned. “Since when an Interdiate Spiritualist can also serve as the Phoenixes’ ssenger?”
It was not that he was ill-inford, but a Phoenixes’ ssenger was usually the face of the Phoenixes. If the ssenger did not have notable strengths, would he not embarrass the Phoenixes?
Lingfeng the Venerable One dared not delay the matter. He told the master everything from when Ou Yangming entered the Spiritual Realm from the lower realm to the ti when Feng Xiang arrived at the Spiritual Realm.
Master Kurong kept a straight face, but he was extrely curious. Only when he heard that Ou Yangming gifted a Dragon Coffin to Lil’ Red, he could not help but laugh. “That’s mischievous.”
Lingfeng the Venerable One was moved. He asked, “Master Kurong, does that an anything?”
Master Kurong shook his head and explained, “A Dragon Coffin’s affiliated to the Dragons, so gifting it to the Phoenixes ans that... In any case, it’ll please the Phoenixes, but it’s an act of disrespect toward the Dragons. If he’s able to take that step in the future, he’ll face huge trouble.”
Lingfeng the Venerable One could tell that Master Kurong was hiding sothing, but he did not want to talk about this further.
The Venerable Ones dared not force Master Kurong, hence they could only pretend that they were deaf and acted dumb.
Master Kurong sighed and comnted, “This fella’s considered the darling of this era for being able to obtain a Dragon Coffin and be favored by the Phoenixes. Ah, it’s much better to owe him a favor than to owe the Phoenixes anything.”
He pondered for a while and asked, “Since that fella ca from the lower realm, I suppose you’ve made the necessary arrangents?”
“Yes, we’ve reactivated the passage to bring his dear ones to the Spiritual Realm,” Lingfeng the Venerable One imdiately answered. He paused for a while before he added, “Since you’ve been born again through the fire, we’re relieved now. I’ll be escorting them to the Beast King Sect now to et Ou Yangming.”
“Oh?” Master Kurong said after so thought, “Let go this ti.”
The faces of the 3 Venerable Ones changed. It was true that Ou Yangming did the favor of refining the Eternal Pill and was also the Phoenixes’ ssenger, but he was not worthy enough for Master Kurong to go on a long journey for him. The Venerable Ones wondered, ‘Master Kurong has regained vitality, but has his thinking beco rigid after cultivating in isolation for a long ti such that he can’t distinguish even the most basic situation now?’
Huanying the Venerable One lowered his head and advised the master, “Master Kurong, your body has just regained its life force, so you should cultivate in isolation to stabilize it.” He added sternly, “As for Ou Yangming, please don’t worry—we won’t make any mistakes.”
Tiandao the Venerable One agreed with him. “Yes, Martial Uncle, how can we let you take care of such a trivial matter? Let do it on your behalf.”
Master Kurong glanced at the 3 Venerable Ones. His eyes did not look fierce at all, but the Venerable Ones sohow had unnatural looks on their faces.
Faced with Mount Wuzhi’s greatest powerhouse, they felt as if they were sons looking at their father.
“Hehe, you don’t need to stop .” Master Kurong waved his sleeves, causing his thin clothes to flutter in the wind as if he would be blown away at any ti. “A young fella that’s being valued so much by the Phoenixes must be unordinary. If I don’t et him, I’ll feel like there’s this itch in my heart that can’t be scratched.” He noted faintly, “You sotis overcomplicate things. Statuses and positions are rely passing clouds and mist. Once the day of one’s doom is here, everything will be in vain.” He extended his thin arm and tapped each of the Venerable Ones’ heads once and added, “Let go—only by letting go can one perceive everything...”
Following that, he turned around slowly and stepped outside the precipice and into the void.
The 3 Venerable Ones at the peak looked at each other. They felt agitated after being tapped by Master Kurong, where they could not calm down anymore.
That said, the sa question lingered in their minds.
‘Let go? How should we let go...’
