Chapter 776: Chapter 408 Imperishable Indestructible Primordial Spirit and Imperishable Sword Intent
This elderly man had encountered Wu Tianan over a dozen times, and each time they met, the old man lay not far from him.
Initially, Wu Tianan thought it was merely a coincidence.
After multiple encounters, Wu Tianan became certain that the man was deliberately following him.
Taking a deep breath and about to stride forward to confront him directly, Wu Tianan saw the elder sit up suddenly, lift his head to the firmament with a look of surprise and confusion.
Wu Tianan, puzzled, remained alert and also gazed toward the firmament, but found nothing.
Nor did the elder take the opportunity to strike while Wu Tianan was distracted.
“How strange.”
The elder murmured to himself.
“Elder, why do you follow me?”
Wu Tianan took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice.
The elder shifted his gaze to Wu Tianan, smiling warmly, “It’s not that I am following you, this is fate, my boy. Why is your luck so extraordinary?”
Before Wu Tianan could even respond, the elder had already moved in close, circling around him while clicking his tongue, “Impressive, truly impressive, your martial arts practice is not simple, and your luck is remarkable. Who is your master?”
“I…”
Wu Tianan was utterly shocked; the elder’s strength was far beyond his own, capable of killing him effortlessly.
“Could it be the Immortal Heavenly Venerable?”
That thought crossed his mind, but he was at a loss for words on how to answer.
Who is his master?
His guide in martial arts was not his master, and neither was the senior expert he had relationships with. Strictly speaking, he had no master!
“I have no master.”
“Then who taught you your martial arts?”
The elder asked with great interest.
“A senior expert taught me.”
“A senior expert? How does he compare to me?”
“You cannot compare, Elder.”
“How interesting.”
The elder chuckled and said, “This robust luck of yours, as if favored by the domain itself, was it given by the senior expert you mentioned?”
Wu Tianan, puzzled, shook his head, “I don’t know.”
He also felt that his luck seemed too good sometimes, like recently, when he witnessed two Immortal Heavenly Venerables burst into a great fight, where all his fellow martial artists died.
Yet, he had escaped unscathed and even found a divine artifact!
Such experiences of turning danger into fortune and acquiring treasures were not new to him. Now that the elder brought it up, Wu Tianan couldn’t help but wonder, could his robust luck be linked to that senior expert?
Was it because he had mastered the divine skills taught by the senior expert and established a martial connection, thus receiving a feedback in luck?
After all, the senior was an existence transcending the domain.
“Where is this senior expert you speak of?”
The elder asked with interest.
Wu Tianan pondered for a moment and then said, “He might be in the Qinghua state, or maybe not. I’m not sure.”
The elder nodded.
He took out a token and placed it in Wu Tianan’s hand, saying, “Take this with you. It’s annoying to run into you everywhere, which makes you seem like a serendipitous opportunity. Your luck is somewhat absurd.”
Wu Tianan was confused. Clearly, the elder had been following him, yet he seemed to perceive it as constantly running into Wu Tianan instead.
“What is this?”
He looked at the token in his hand, feeling its uncommon nature but unclear about its purpose.
“When you head to the Taihe Realm at the right time, you silly boy, you will know what this token is for.”
The elder shook his head, wondering how there could be someone with such extraordinary luck in the world.
Such an odd thing.
“Elder, wait a moment. I’d like to inquire about someone,”
Wu Tianan suddenly said.
“With your luck, you’ll find them soon enough, so no need to ask me. The old man lives in the Divine Realm, and I don’t know many people there!”
The elder waved his hand and walked away, vanishing without a trace.
Wu Tianan looked helpless as he put away the token.
“The Taihe Realm, huh? The number one realm in the Divine Realm and the strongest realm. I’ll eventually go there.”
He resumed his search for the person.
…
“Something is off about Wu Tianan.”
In the Qinghua state, Li Xuan suddenly found himself surprised.
It was enough that Wu Tianan had mastered divine skills, and not just one, but what surprised him even more was, through the martial connections, he astonishingly discovered that Wu Tianan’s luck seemed exceptionally robust.
“Is he really a child of luck?”
Li Xuan was puzzled. Could Wu Tianan actually be a child of luck?
When Wu Tianan was there, there was no Eye of the Heavenly Dao, or else he could have seen through the nature of Wu Tianan’s luck instantly.
“Forget it, no matter how much of a child of luck he is, he can’t compare to my disciple.”
Li Xuan shook his head and refocused his attention on the Book of Taicang.
“Almost there, I’m about to fully memorize the core principles of the Book of Taicang.”
The completion of his understanding of the Taicang Domain Dao Principles was near, which also meant that he could go to that little stone hut in the Wu Country Royal Palace to meet that mysterious person and probe the secrets of the Taicang Domain.
As Li Xuan’s days continued as usual, studying the core of the Book of Taicang and contributing to his grand pursuit of martial arts, a message arrived.
The Realm Gate located in the Nine Mountain City of the Nine Mountain Realm had fallen, and it was contrary to what Emperor Da Yue and others had expected. It wasn’t occupied by the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, but rather a Netherworld Blood Child had stormed into the Realm Gate of the Nine Mountain Realm, confronting an Immortal Heavenly Venerable of the Nine Mountain Realm.
Most of Nine Mountain City had collapsed, with countless casualties.
The Immortal Heavenly Venerable’s battle stretched on for a long time with no victor in sight.
And now, as the Nine Mountain Realm Gate directly leads to the Qinghua state, another Immortal Heavenly Venerable had been dispatched to hold the Qinghua state gate.
