Chapter Nine, The Descent of the Divine
Soon, Wu Wang will jump into this lake to engage in a life-and-death struggle with this ferocious beast
So light
Wu Wang wore a slight smile on his lips, continuously raising his hand to gesture towards various directions, calmly responding to the current situation, while the elegant back of his head attracted the attention of many unmarried women
After formally practicing immortality for six months, Wu Wang has many reflections.
The uniform sound of horns resonated near the royal tent, causing Wu Wang's carriage to tremble slightly. Four giant wolves raised their heads proudly and moved forward with small, measured steps, as the carriage began to advance steadily.
After finishing dinner, Wu Wang, who is already able to practice fasting, sat behind his desk and opened a copy of "Qingmu Leifa: Sanxian Daoren's Commentary," which he had exchanged for at the market from Lin Suqing, and began to read it carefully
Men, women, and children of all ages living near the royal court specially gathered to witness the ceremony, with the crowd having already assembled the night before
Near the king's tent, a group of strong men sounded the long horns
To describe him as exceptionally gifted is a disrespect to those proud disciples of the Immortal Sect in the human realm
At the summit of the snow-capped mountain, within the wooden cabin that conceals a sea of stars
Suqing
Today, he donned a light-colored short shirt and long pants, draped in a light gray cloak, with a juvenile beast skull symbolizing his status atop his head, which was also engraved with some decorative patterns
What is constantly remembered will surely have repercussions
The earth trembles, and the fierce winds seem poised to engulf the entire prairie. Boundless water vapor transforms into mushroom clouds, slowly rising into the sky. A thick white mist swiftly envelops the area within a ten-mile radius, resembling an unfurled curtain, revealing the menacing black silhouette that looms like a mountain.
Young men and women sing and dance, while esteemed elders are surrounded by food and fine wine, and children play around carrying the cubs of a giant wolf
The Way is nameless, the Law has an end, all formlessness must be based on form, you are right in everything you say
Has the day arrived so soon
As the carriage approached them, the crowd collectively bowed their heads and placed their hands on their chests, offering heartfelt blessings to the youth on the carriage
The wooden door was pushed open, and General Xiong San, with his robust physique, made every effort to curl up, shifting left and right, and barely squeezed through the wooden door
... ...
Pray for the prosperity of the clan
However, your strength is well-known to all, and considering the peculiar illness you are afflicted with, the leader has ordered us to capture a ferocious beast that is a thousand years old at the border.
Young master, hurry back!
As Lin Su brought over the tea, she lightly wrinkled her delicate nose. Having spent some time with Wu Wang, she suddenly caught a whiff of insincerity.
Everyone has been looking forward to your trial!
Wu Wang nodded coldly, and General Xiong San immediately turned his head and waved his hand
I hope I did not disturb you, my lord
Lin Su lightly blinked, and on her forehead, where Wu Wang's mother had touched, a faint hexagram mark appeared
Although he is somewhat unconventional as the young master of the Repairing Star Technique, his combat strength is still reliable
Lin Suqing sat not far to the side, carefully writing something on a small jade tablet used for notes.
Wu Wang smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, General San."
Old Man Xiong San was shouting at his lowest volume
His chariot slowly drove out of the royal court, flanked by the strongest giant wolf riders serving as guards, with a throng of people singing and dancing behind him
Without any warning, the speed of the giant wolf suddenly slowed down
Wu Wang let out a slight sigh of frustration
A female priestess's voice cried out piercingly: "It is the blessing of the Star God"
Pray for the leader's long life
This is the rule of Kitano; we must maintain the balance among the clans
Lin Suqing quickly covered her small mouth, floating back to the mat on her bed, with a smile at the corners of her mouth after a night of meditation
Age: Unknown
It seems that there is something more in the spiritual energy between heaven and earth
The giant wolf riders on both sides of the distant small lake retreated like a tide, while the priests responsible for sealing this ferocious beast also withdrew
It began to crawl towards the edge of the vast lake, with streams of fire flickering in its gaping, menacing maw
Of course I haven't forgotten," Wu Wangqing cleared his throat, "I will return to the royal court in advance to prepare
To this end, whenever the night falls into silence, Lin Suqing begins to take out the sect's hidden books stored in her treasure, revisiting the content she heard as a child twice.
It seems that class differentiation has already emerged in the human domain, thank you... Miss Lin
Ah
Lin Suqing, dressed in a loose, coarse long skirt and sporting large dark circles under her eyes, jolted as the pile of books, parchment scrolls, and paper books in front of her collapsed partially like a mountain
Do not worry, this fierce beast has already been secretly injured by us; it merely looks frightening.
I know a little, but I am not very skilled at it
To witness the future leader of the youth reveal his divine power is a rare fortune in this life
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed
Wu Wang frowned and said, "Isn't this a bit of an overreaction? We could just set up a small event casually."
When attention is focused on a single matter, time appears to be exceedingly fleeting, almost excessively frivolous.
A giant foot, engraved with black and red patterns, stepped out of the white mist, crushing the thousand-year-old thorny-backed lizard beneath its sole
General Xiong San assured, "Rest assured, everything has been arranged, and there will definitely be no unexpected incidents that day"
He discovered that the practice of cultivating immortality is, in itself, an exceedingly interesting endeavor, continuously developing one's potential, constantly merging with nature, pursuing communication between the spirit and the universe, and allowing the insignificant life to revere the permanence of heaven and earth, which is inherently quite romantic
Lin Su felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted, languidly resting her head on the table, a faint smile of having survived a calamity gracing her lips
Young Master
The general responsible for guarding the royal court and ensuring the safety of the young master turned his head to glance outside a few times, cautiously closing the wooden door
Four menacing giant horns emerged from the white mist, and the magnificent head of an ox came into Wu Wang's view
Wu Wang was already standing on his car frame, with four frost wolves being led by two guards, obediently lowering their heads to gnaw on meat
Miss Lin, can you see anything unusual in this airflow diagram?
Having finished her own collection of books, Lin Suqing went directly to the nearby market to purchase various texts related to cultivation, and upon returning, she devoted herself to reading them with great intensity, neglecting both sleep and food.
Young master, you need not be so polite; just call me Xiao Ai.
The days of being confused and muddled in the past were truly wonderful
The leader has gone to the Northern Border for inspection and seems unable to return
The divine light in her eyes quickly receded, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, and her expression took on a hint of coldness
Old Man Xiong San rubbed his big hands together, chuckled a few times to cultivate his feelings, and then said softly
However, there are six beautiful priestesses with holy faces and somewhat indifferent gazes
Suddenly, a shout resembling that of a thief from General Xiong San came from outside the door
Stay true to your original intention, and you will achieve your ultimate goal
"Right near the royal court," General Xiong San said, "we will deploy one hundred thousand giant wolf cavalry in advance to patrol the area, ensuring that the trial proceeds smoothly."
But before Cang Xue could turn around, clusters of light spots appeared in the corners of the temple, and six figures first took shape and then quickly transformed into human forms
Wu Wang asked: "Will my father come back?"
Wu Wang glanced at the simple calendar he had made himself
General Xiong San offered a few more reminders before he exerted himself to squeeze through the wooden door and rode back to the royal court on the giant wolf
For example,
The first leader trial of the contemporary young lord has brought about a grand celebration for the Bear Hug Clan once again
At the royal tent, numerous white-haired priests and retired generals gazed at the figure of the young man with kind eyes
One must never forget that the primary goal of cultivation is to resolve one's own peculiar ailments and to avoid the tragedy of dying alone in solitude
Meanwhile
She is also a seasoned practitioner of the Returning to Origin realm; how could she possibly be stumped by a boy of twelve or thirteen years old
She tilted her head slightly, gazing at a point of cross light that appeared in the azure sky, as if the stars were twinkling
General Xiong San hurriedly said: "The leader has complete confidence in you, young master. Looking across the northern wilderness, even the strongest of the rogue tribes has never produced a young master with the strength of a Great Star Festival."
Fierce Beast: Zhu Huai
Young master, it is like this
At that time, you will directly take action and resolve it decisively, and the trial will be considered passed
Wu Wang's chariot began to accelerate, gradually leaving his clansmen behind, as he rushed towards the lake with a large number of giant wolves riding alongside him.
The fireball has already fallen, and the impact point is that lake!
He looked up at the sky
According to the traditions of the clan, Wu Wang must carry a weapon, so he has a dagger tucked at his waist, a crystal ball held in his left hand, and a ceremonial staff grasped in his right hand
The four-headed frost wolf let out a series of howls that resembled a demonstration, and the speed of the vehicle increased once again
At noon, the clamor of the clan reached its peak
Wu Wang, however, had no time to pay attention to these matters
Wu Wang smiled calmly, yet did not directly call out to her with an "ai" or "ei" again
Young Master, I have come to inform you that in three days, it will be your first leader trial
Escaped ? !
Outside the royal court, thousands of wolf riders galloped back and forth, holding aloft colorful flags made of tree bark
roaring sound, explosive sound
Lin Suqing quietly asked nearby: "Do you need me to help the young master make a brocade robe in advance? The clothing styles here in Beiye are still a bit simple."
A spiny lizard, towering at least 20 zhang in height, was driven away by a pack of giant wolves last night. This morning, it was further sealed by dozens of priests and is now trapped in the center of a small lake, emitting weak growls.
Miss Lin, if each person's internal five elements are imbalanced, their cultivation methods will also differ according to the attributes of the five elements
The ancient beast with a millennium of life raised its head and roared in fury, breaking free from the chains that bound it underwater, its savage gaze fixed on the approaching vehicle in the distance
"Su Qing, let today's practice come to an end for now..."
The three generals have entered.
Cang Xue stood in the center of the temple, high above the myriad stars. She had been meditating with her eyes closed, but suddenly opened them.
The earth trembles once more
Wu Wang smiled as she welcomed the loyal general to take a seat on the wooden bench by the wall
Cultivation cannot be achieved overnight; being eager for quick success will only lead to inferior results. His progress over the past six months has been quite good, and he deserves a half-day break to relax.
Hmph
Hehehe, young master
This is their future leader, who will guide them and their children to continue surviving in the North.
How could one possibly see a meteor with such a large sun hanging directly in the south
Ah! Do not come over here! I do not wish to engage in a debate with you
This is a trial that belongs solely to Wang
A powerful future leader symbolizes the prosperous future of their clan
The Star Deity has responded to our prayers, and the blessings of the Star Deity cannot be halted. Please wait here quietly for the results
This is perhaps too complicated for practitioners at the Returning Origin realm
In front of a large tent in Wangting, several elderly priests watching this scene trembled all over, their faces extremely pale
General Xiong San said
Pray for the peace of the family
General Xiong San came running and asked, "Young Master, may we begin?"
In the first few days after arriving at the riverside cabin for cultivation, the questions posed by Wu Wang were relatively simple, all pertaining to the fundamentals of cultivation. Lin Suqing had, after all, raised several junior disciples herself, so answering these was not a problem.
Everything is ready
The four frost wolves pulling the cart continuously let out howls of distress, the cart frame has already come to a halt, and they are restless, desperately trying to break free from the reins
Bestow, bestow blessings
Less ~ Main ~ ''
Uh, let's eat
The shrill screams of several young girls echoed from both sides, followed by the hearty laughter of the elderly and the young adults
A familiar greeting suddenly came from outside the wooden house
Wu Wang stood with his hands behind his back at the door, watching the figure of the general gradually fade into the night.
As the sun just emerged from the veil of the grassland, it eagerly illuminated the golden dome of the royal tent
According to tradition, the first trial of the future leader is always a battle against a three-hundred-year-old ferocious beast
I, uh.
Hehe, as expected
Pray to the Star God
In front of the ice mirror formed by the Star Prayer Technique, a young master was holding various fur robes, measuring them against his body, occasionally striking a few gestures of waving and clenching his fists.
Wu Wang raised the staff in his hand, with giant wolves riding on either side dispersing, leaving only his chariot speeding forward
Only large sects have the resources to undertake what the young master mentioned; it is very difficult for ordinary small sects to achieve this
In the realm of cultivation, one should never be outmatched by a mere youth
After advancing several miles, General Xiong San shouted loudly
It is my limited experience! I should not have argued with you
Su Qing
Just ... ...
Above this halo, endless spiritual energy flows
They spoke up saying
Lin Suqing stood beside the king's tent, gazing at the grand spectacle before her, feeling an inexplicable sense of "Ah, the young master has finally grown up".
Wu Wang smiled lightly and said, "We are all family, does it really matter what we wear?"
Why ... ... why is it us
Lord Cangxue, you cannot destroy the blessings bestowed by the Star God
Young master, you must dress formally that day, as you will surely captivate countless young ladies within the clan... Although it may not be of much use even if you do captivate them, hehe
Cang Xue stood still, gripping tightly the long staff that shimmered with the light of the flowing stars, her knuckles gradually turning white
The entire sky has been stained a blood-red color, as a fireball streaks across the horizon, and between the earth and the sky, seven red halos, each with a diameter of one hundred miles, are revolving!
Wu Wang helplessly called out, "It's time to eat"
This millennium beast, which was laboriously driven from the clan boundaries to this place, unexpectedly...
Lin Suqing responded with a smile, tidied up the tea cup tray, and hummed a little tune as she returned to the adjacent wooden cabin
Wuu---
Thus, six months later
Boom
Let us fight for this breath of life
The scene was bustling with the sound of gongs and drums, and a sea of people, truly lively
No need, just be casual
Su Qing, you mentioned that if some of the techniques from the Star Prayer Art were interpreted through the way of talismans, wouldn't that unleash extraordinary power? You can draw talismans, right?
Young Master, what will you wear that day
What happened to the three generals? There are only a few guards within a hundred feet, speak freely.
The crimson beast eyes, once filled with fierce flames, now only reflect fear.
And behold the court of the Bear Hug Clan
Before Wu Wang ascends to the throne, he must undergo five to seven trials, the first of which will take place at the age of thirteen, which is three days from now
The young master is truly a cultivation prodigy
Eh?
Miss Lin, how do you understand this phrase: "The essence is used in form; when the form is exhausted, the essence does not exhaust; fire uses fuel; when the fuel is exhausted, the fire does not exhaust"
Each time the fireball passes through a ring of light, its descent speed is halved, and the shadow within the fireball doubles in size
Su Qing, what you mentioned yesterday about the method of using qi to control objects seems to have many flaws and is easily susceptible to interference from adversaries
Each of these scenes, like a series of sharp arrows, pierced through Lin Su, leaving her feeling utterly chilled to the bone
"You haven't forgotten, have you?" General Xiong San asked with a hint of concern.
Not long after she began meditating, Lin Suqing opened one eye and stealthily approached a gap between the overlapping floorboards of the two wooden houses, glancing over at the neighboring side
Why is the young master’s thinking so complicated
Even more bizarrely, the millennium beast that had just a moment ago been ready to unleash its fury suddenly closed its massive jaws, its four short legs struggling desperately, exerting all their strength to halt its forward charge, while its enormous body twisted wildly to the left
However, as the Wu Wang issue deepened, Lin Suqing quickly found herself unable to cope.
Hmm
There are several miles to go before reaching this millennia-old ferocious beast
Lin Suqing, who was sitting nearby, also stood up and nodded in greeting
Wu Wang calmly replied, "Let's leave it at this for today, go back and continue your training."
Leader Trial
That is not acceptable, this is a significant matter
I certainly believe in the abilities of the three generals, " Wu Wang said with a serious expression, " Where is the location of the trial? "
Then why not determine which of the five elements one is more inclined towards before the practice, and then supplement it with the corresponding foundational methods? Wouldn't that be more efficient?
Casual
The men of Kitano are martial, and most clans have similar trials
