Eternal Life: I Can Break Through The Limits Of All Methods

Chapter 109: Fate Plays Tricks (Additional Chapter for Warm Sun 1314 Silver Alliance)

After learning this news, Chu Ming was somewhat surprised.

The Elder Jin Guang of the Piaomiao Peak had the strength of Core Formation Late Stage, close to perfection. Her strength among the elders of the sect could also rank in the top five.

She did indeed die during the Dragon Gate trial, but it was said that she entered the trial together with four other elders.

It seemed that the five of them were able to use some powerful formation together, which was why they entered the trial together.

But even the weaker Nongtang Elder came out alive, while she died inside. It felt a bit off.

Could there be some conspiracy going on?

Chu Ming didn't know much about this matter, only obtaining some fragmented information from the plants he sensed from Azure Spirit Peak.

Perhaps the truth was not as he speculated.

It could be that Elder Jin Guang sacrificed herself, or maybe she just had really bad luck, like Wu Changqing.

Fortunately, this matter didn't have much impact on him. The strength of the Divine Will Sect suffered some losses, but not significant.

Because the Sect Master and most of the other elders had already come out of the trial, their strength had more or less improved.

Some of the elders from other cultivation forces outside even died halfway, and some sects even lost their Sect Masters.

Compared to those forces, the Divine Will Sect's losses could almost be considered negligible.

It's just that Elder Jin Guang seems to be Li Haimeng's master. Why are both of them so unlucky?

One was cursed, and the other died during the trial.

This is too tragic, isn't it?

He didn't continue to think about it and continued cultivating in the space.

[Host: Chu Ming]

[Lifespan: 39/715]

[Cultivation Realm: Foundation Building Early Stage (16/100)]

[Five Elements Art (Transcendent: 3156/100000) (Entry: Transcendent- Primordial Origin)]

[Concealment Technique (Transcendent: 84135/100000) (Entry: Transcendent- Stealth)]

[Palm Thunder (Perfection: 5247/10000)]

[Spirit Fish Rearing (Perfection: 9402/10000)]

[Reversal (True Intent) (Proficiency: 225/1000)]

...

Since transcending in the Five Elements Art, the speed of cultivation has slowed down compared to before. The proficiency gained each day is only about 45 points.

Because the bonus from Spirit Fish fishing is almost gone, and the process of luck in the Five Elements Art has become more complicated, especially since he also needs to cultivate a Thunder Spirit Qi.

But this speed is acceptable. In about ten more months, he will be able to break through to the Foundation Building Mid Stage.

During this time, he also focused on practicing the Concealment Technique, striving to reach the Saint Entry realm before breaking through to the Foundation Building Mid Stage.

At that level, he should be able to safely hide his strength without worrying about being discovered by the big shots.

As for Palm Thunder, it is a simple thunder technique he has been practicing recently.

When attacking, he can gather thunder in the palm of his hand and release a bolt of lightning.

The attack range is decent, currently reaching a distance of two feet.

As a thunder-based spell, it is strong and yang. After transcending in Palm Thunder, it is undoubtedly a powerful means of attack.

...

In the blink of an eye, three days passed, and it was time for Qing Song to come and distribute resources and collect pills.

Chu Ming saw Qing Song coming through the perception plants at the entrance of the Cave Mansion and came out of the space.

He jumped directly from the top floor of the stone room.

A knocking sound came from outside the Cave Mansion, "Senior Brother Chu, are you home?"

Xiao Yuying was sitting in the hall weaving silk stockings. When she saw someone coming, she quickly put away the item.

Chu Ming smiled and said, "You continue weaving, I'll go to the door and hand over the things to him."

Xiao Yuying smiled apologetically and resumed weaving the stockings.

Chu Ming walked out of the Cave Mansion and greeted Qing Song with a smile.

"Oh, Qing Song, you're here. I just finished refining the pills. Take a look."

Qing Song inspected the pills and found that there were just enough, without any extras.

He couldn't help but think that Senior Brother Chu was quite careless. It had been such a long time, and he had just barely completed the task without producing any extra pills.

Of course, he didn't dare to say anything more. After receiving the pills, he handed over the Spirit Rice pills, resources, and ten contribution tokens to Chu Ming.

Finally, he took out a jade box, "Senior Brother, Chen Yu asked me to give this to you."

"He asked you to bring this jade box to find Senior Brother Yang Liang from the Piaomiao Peak. He said that Senior Brother Yang might be able to help you with the development of Foundation Building techniques."

Chu Ming took the jade box and hesitated for a moment.

Chen Yu was the elegant senior brother from the alchemy aptitude test that day.

He had encountered him every time he went to the alchemy pavilion, and they got along quite well.

During their casual conversations, he would pretend to complain, saying that he didn't have a suitable Foundation Building technique.

Chen Yu said that if there was a chance, he would help him.

He thought it was just a polite remark, but he didn't expect the other party to take it seriously.

But why does he have to go to the Piaomiao Peak to find someone...

He nodded and smiled, saying, "Hmm, Senior Brother Chen really takes care of me. He even remembers to help me."

"By the way, Qing Song, isn't Piaomiao Peak holding Elder Jin Guang's funeral recently? Is it not appropriate for me to go now?"

Qing Song shook his head, "No, Elder Jin Guang's funeral ended the day before yesterday."

"Only during this time will Senior Brother Yang Liang have time, otherwise he will be out again."

"Senior Brother Chen urged you to go today, otherwise you might not be able to see Senior Brother Yang."

Hearing him say this, Chu Ming felt somewhat relieved.

Since the funeral had already ended, most of the high-ranking members should have left and gone about their own business.

There shouldn't be any trouble.

Chen Yu was so concerned about his matter, it wouldn't be good if he didn't go.

It's better to go and meet Yang Liang, and also plant the perception plants in other places of the sect to have a better grasp of the overall situation.

He nodded, "I see, then I'll go there."

After seeing off Qing Song, he informed his junior sister and left.

...

On the other side, in a purple bamboo forest halfway up the Piaomiao Peak, Li Haimeng was kneeling alone in front of her master's tomb.

Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were lifeless, there were traces of tears stained with dirt on her cheeks.

Compared to her previous spirited and extraordinary appearance, she looked extremely haggard and lifeless.

However, her peerless beauty couldn't be concealed, instead giving off a sense of tragic beauty.

Of course, she didn't pay much attention to her own beauty at this moment, her eyes were empty as she recalled the various experiences of the past year.

Since the auction that day, everything had gone wrong for her.

The Dragon Roar Sword Manual was burned before her eyes, which made her depressed for a long time.

Under her master's comfort, she decided to comprehend the Dragon Roar Sword Intent on her own, but she gained nothing.

Later, she had a dream and was guided to a lake to fish. Although she encountered the appearance of the Golden Scale Fish, she gained nothing in the end.

She really didn't know what that dream was guiding her towards, or if she had lost the ability to dream.

After the opening of the Dragon Gate Trial, she felt that opportunities had come again.

But after entering the 23rd level of the Heart Dao Trial, she failed to pass and endured a nightmare-like curse.

Now, whether she used the Law Sword or the Condensed Spirit Gathering Sword, the sword would shatter during the process, even the sword qi was in a broken state.

Such attacks would not cause any harm at all, not even able to kill an ant.

She had been searching for a solution for months, but couldn't find any. It seemed that her path of sword cultivation had been completely cut off.

And just a few days ago, news of her master's death during the trial came out.

This news was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, making her feel as if the sky had collapsed, and she was on the verge of collapse.

She was picked up by her master from a fishing boat on the sea when she was young, and her master was like a motherly figure to her, the closest person to her in the sect.

Compared to the previous setbacks, her master's death was the most unacceptable to her.

And when she learned that her master had obtained a clue to the Dragon Roar Sword Intent during the trial, and it was because of her impatience that she lost her life in the hands of the Demonic Beast.

She felt even more guilty, and many fellow disciples were secretly discussing her in this way.

A deep sense of guilt lingered in her heart.

At this moment, she was already feeling hopeless.

Her path of sword cultivation had been cut off, her dearest master had left her, and she didn't know what meaning there was in living anymore.

She couldn't understand why fate had been so cruel to her, subjecting her to so many setbacks in just one year.

At this moment, a refined and handsome young cultivator flew over on a thundercloud and landed not far behind her.

The young cultivator's face showed a pained expression, but he didn't dare to approach too closely.

He just said from a distance, "Senior... Senior Sister, stop kneeling and go back to rest for a few days."

"If Master knew about your current state, she would definitely be heartbroken."

"I know you're feeling sad right now, but trust me, no matter what difficulties you encounter, I will accompany you through them."

"Believe me, everything will be fine."
