Immortality from Taming Elephant

Chapter 733 - 324

A few days later.The tower ship stopped at a sea area, still a long way from Jizhou.

Xu Guang and his party were not heading directly to Jizhou, but to the offshore region of Jizhou.

The real Northern Pole Six Institutes are all located offshore, with the Northern Emperor Institute being quite a basic educational unit, almost like a nursery school.

"My master is one of the three saints of the Demon Slaying Institute, we should just report there directly."

Zhuge Wuliang spoke.

He had broken through to the First Nirvana Cultivation over a decade ago, but had yet to enter the Upper Five Institutes to seek Xu Guang in the Misty Sea region.

He wasn’t too familiar with the Upper Five Institutes.

"It’s a pity that Senior Sister Yuanshuang has to stay in the Cang Sea; otherwise, she could introduce us."

Xu Guang escaped from the sea eye, but the plot of the sea tribes against the Celestial Capital was exposed, and the surrounding Holy Land forces couldn’t stay indifferent.

Even though the Northern Pole Six Institutes are far from the Misty Sea and have little influence, they still qualify to take a share.

The Heavenly Martial True King, Lingchuan Saint, and others have already prepared to stay there long-term.

Yuanshuang is likewise.

As for why Xu Guang left...

Neither the sea tribes nor the human race were eager to see him; the Heavenly Martial True King worried he’d be killed if he stayed in the Misty Sea.

The sea tribes loathed him; after many years of plotting against the Celestial Capital, their plan was thwarted in a day. Who could accept that?

As for the human race...

Without Xu Guang, forces like the Northern Pole Six Institutes couldn’t intervene in the Misty Sea affairs.

Resources are always limited; if you consume too much, others will have less.

Those who have less might not be able to offend the Northern Pole Six Institutes but could well take it out on Xu Guang.

The Heavenly Martial True King thus let Xu Guang leave and didn’t keep him there.

Not only him, but no one under the Second Nirvana Cultivation stayed.

After all, that place wasn’t the territory of the Northern Pole Six Institutes; just leaving some true experts was enough.

Xu Guang thought of Yuanshuang and smiled.

"It’s a shame Senior Sister Yuanshuang is staying in the Misty Sea; otherwise, I’d really need to thank her properly."

"Indeed, we should thank her," Zhuge Wuliang agreed. "She has been running around for years because of you, visiting many Holy Lands in the Misty Sea region; she’s probably one of the least welcomed people there now."

The two chuckled.

"What a pity, if you and I had Second Nirvana Cultivation now, in the grand event of Misty Sea, we might have been able to grab a share too."

Zhuge Wuliang lamented.

Xu Guang thought of something and suddenly asked.

"Senior Brother, you broke through to the First Nirvana Cultivation a while ago. Do you have any insights on the Second Nirvana Magic aspect?"

Zhuge Wuliang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Some ideas, but they are immature."

Both were rather rare warriors with Five Divine Techniques, seemingly with many topics in this regard.

Discussing along the way, Xu Guang learned quite a bit.

Another few days passed.

Mist enveloped the sea, creating a vast white expanse, where several figures holding demon-catching flags stopped the tower ship.

The leader was a red-faced young man, seemingly born with a red face, exuding a powerful aura far surpassing ordinary First Nirvana experts.

Zhuge Wuliang rose to negotiate.

"So it’s the personal disciples of the Heavenly Martial True King, heard of long ago; from nothing in mere decades you both broke through the First Nirvana Cultivation successfully, it seems the institute will be lively this time."

The red-faced youth introduced himself as Wei Zhaoji from the Demon Slaying Institute, a direct disciple of a seasoned Second Nirvana expert in the institute.

"What kind of liveliness?"

Xu Guang asked seemingly unintentionally.

"Hahaha, the Heavenly Martial True King has been an ascended master for many years, yet had never taken disciples until a sudden acceptance during a centurial selection, and even simultaneously took two; there are quite a few people in the institute who are quite curious about you brothers."

Wei Zhaoji chuckled.

Xu Guang and Zhuge Wuliang exchanged glances.

Seems entering the Demon Slaying Institute will likely involve experiencing some events.

Where there are people, there is Jianghu; some matters will always remain offstage.

"Let’s go in first."

Wei Zhaoji had official duties, didn’t accompany them, but informed the two about the specific location of the Demon Slaying Institute.

The place where the Upper Five Institutes reside isn’t stable; rumors say a demon sea eye lies thousands of miles from here, seemingly connecting to a star controlled by an Ancient God, full of countless demons yearning to storm Hongze; the Upper Five Institutes’ main task is to suppress that demon sea eye.

Much like Wei Zhaoji, who needs to patrol every day when there are no battles to prevent demon infiltration.

...

Demon Slaying Institute, outer mountain, Dao of Morality Palace.

"Halt, who are you?"

The old Daoist responsible for guiding people from offshore into the Demon Slaying Institute grounds frowned at Xu Guang and his party.

He was quite displeased with these juniors disturbing his midday nap, with irritation evident in his tone.

"What kind of attitude is this? Do you know my boss’s status?"

Though Bai Xiaozhu had been timid before, ever since following Xu Guang at Jingchen Pass, his temper had turned fiery; seeing the old Daoist’s arrogant demeanor, he immediately spoke.

Xu Guang didn’t stop him; it had been discussed on the way.

After meeting Wei Zhaoji, they understood.

Entering the Demon Slaying Institute due to his and Zhuge Wuliang’s identity meant they would inevitably face some people’s difficulties.

And with the Heavenly Martial True King absent from the institute, they must portray enough strength, for their own sake and the face of the Heavenly Martial True King.

"What status? Going to scare me to death?"

The old Daoist’s tone grew more arrogant, and his dissatisfaction intensified.

These newcomers truly didn’t understand the rules,

He was still a Second Nirvana Martial Artist; these newcomers weren’t the least bit conscientious or aware during their first visit.
