Chapter 102 Little Monster
By the time Lyu Liang regained consciousness, he was already in the Peach Source of Tai Su Ancestor Lord. This time, Black followed him.
“Yo-ho? You’re back in 200 years? You are only one step away from being a fairy immortal. It seems that you really had a good chance!” Tai Su Ancestor Lord had already appeared in front of Lyu Liang. Behind him, two graceful figures followed. One was Su Qiao’er, at the middle stage of Gold Core, whose eyes were glowing. If it were only Lyu Liang and herself present, she would have jumped on Lyu Liang.
Lyu Liang first thanked his two seniors and then inquired after Su Qiao’er’s well-being. Later, he focused his eyes on Tai Su Ancestor Lord, as if waiting for something.
Tai Su Ancestor Lord touched his baldhead and said with a smile, “I know you have doubts. Now is the time to tell you. The master of Xueling Sect you killed is actually a thread of my soul. It’s just a trail of an evil soul that just started to cultivate. The cultivation technique I practiced at that time was quite special, and the birth of this evil soul was inevitable. It was just that I neglected him and let him run wild. Afterwards, limited by the power of the law of heaven and earth, people at our level could not deal with it directly. So I’ve been waiting for someone who can kill my evil soul for me.”
Lyu Liang was somewhat relieved, but still had some doubts. “Forgive this junior for asking, was I the only one who could do that? What about your disciples? Their strength is much stronger than mine. Wouldn’t it be easier?”
“Ha-ha, do you think anyone can use the time and s.p.a.ce retrospective technology to cross the past and the future? It is said that the law of time and s.p.a.ce is the most restrictive force of all laws. You were able to go back to the past to help me because you conform to one of the rules. And you should discover that this time and s.p.a.ce trip, also let you realize some of your karma.” Tai Su Ancestor Lord looked at Lyu Liang intensely and seemed to be as familiar with Lyu Liang’s experience as the patterns on his palm. “By the way, you don’t have to bother about that affair of life soul. Anyway, I believe it is not that easy for you to die. It doesn’t matter if I judge it mistakenly. I’ve lived for hundreds of thousands of years anyway. Apart from not giving up Xiaoyun, there is nothing else for me to worry about.”
Lyu Liang nodded at first, then fell to his knees and worshipped Tai Su Ancestor Lord as his master. He said aloud, “Lyu Liang is originally a vagrant cultivator, a mustard-like existence in Pangu Origin world. Fortunately, I met your senior, and you guided me in my swordsmanship, and gave me great opportunities. Now you even tied a thread of life-soul on me. In the future, I will do my utmost and am even willing to die if your senior has any other a.s.signments!”
Tai Su Ancestor Lord laughed loudly and said, “Get up, I’ve said it before that I do not care about the hypocritical rituals. I have long regarded you as my disciple, or I would not have guided your swordsmanship. My Sword Tao is a Sword Tao of strength. To be honest, it’s not particularly suitable for you. Among our five brothers, Tai Chu is proficient in swordsmanship of formation, which fits you well. But now the opportunity is not here yet, therefore there is no need to force it.”
As for whether Lyu Liang could come back later, Tai Su Ancestor Lord smiled mysteriously: “The reason we are still here is mainly to wait for you to complete the karma. Now that we have got what we want, there is no longer any reason to stay. Therefore, you will leave, and we will leave too. But you still have a chance to come back here since you will encounter a tribulation.”
Lyu Liang was stunned, but by now was used to this kind of keen-word style question and answer. Subsequently, Tai Su Ancestor Lord took out a five-colored talisman and a long wooden box, handed them to Lyu Liang together, and said, “This talisman is a life-returning talisman beyond the Tao of Heaven. It can only be used twice in a person’s life. You leave a strand of life-soul in it in for a moment, leave the talisman here and then you can leave. The thing in the wooden box is the thing that you need in order to cultivate the five-element body. You can refine it here and then leave.”
At this time, Xingyun Fairy also came forward and said, “Kid, I’ll take Qiao’er with me. The cultivation of a person with Spirit-empty Body is very difficult. If she does not have any advice at any time, I’m afraid that her cultivation level will stop here for her whole life. Rest a.s.sured I will take good care of her. When she becomes a fairy immortal, you will meet again.”
Then Su Qiao’er rushed toward him with tears in her eyes. Lyu Liang sighed and gently embraced her, saying softly: “Qiao’er, follow the seniors and take good care of yourself. We will meet again another day.”
Su Qiao’er nodded and cried, “I know, but I just can’t bear to leave you for so long. However, I also understand that, you will certainly surpa.s.s the level of immortals in the future. If I can’t be a fairy immortal, I’ll die sooner or later. I don’t want to be that, I want to be a fairy immortal, so that I can be with you forever!”
A moment later, Tai Su Ancestor Lord left together with the big bears and the big monkey. A swirl of mist appeared at the place where they disappeared. Lyu Liang heard the m.u.f.fled voice of Tai Su Ancestor Lord saying, “When you have finished your comprehension, you can leave.”
At that moment, Lyu Liang first merged a wisp of life-soul into the five-colored talisman, and then opened the long wooden box. When he saw the contents of the box, his eyes lit up in an instant, his hands trembled slightly, and he blurted out, “Purple Electrical Gold!”
Under the protection of a silver light barrier, an irregular golden strip was placed inside, and bright purple thunder and lightning blazed from time to time around the strip. Lyu Liang reached out and touched it lightly. Even through the light barrier, he could still feel the shock from the soul.
Both visually and sense wise, it was the same with the description of Purple Electrical Gold on the blue scroll. In addition to his endless joy, Lu Liang was deeply impressed by the Tai Su Ancestor Lord.
Next, Lyu Liang began to refine the Purple Electrical Gold wholeheartedly. Two years later, one morning, with a long, happy roar from Lyu Liang, his whole body began to emit bursts of golden light, and several tiny purple sparkles appeared from his body sporadically.
Black nodded and jumped directly on Lyu Liang’s shoulder. The next moment, this person and his beast entered the swirl of air. Lyu Liang could not wait to find Shangguan Ying.
…………………………
When Lyu Liang’s consciousness was restored, he found himself near the sword tablet of the sword grave. At this moment, there were still many people touching the sword tablet. Lyu Liang gave a knowing smile and hurried to the entrance.
A moment later, Lyu Liang came out of the Immortal-eliminating Gorge. As his feet were about to leave the ground and he was about to take off, a black hole suddenly appeared above his head, and suddenly something rushed out of it, directly b.u.mping into Lyu Liang.
Lyu Liang felt only a great force coming, and his whole body retreated in an instant. Even his soul felt a little dizzy. Lyu Liang was greatly shocked!
Ever since Lyu Liang practiced the Devil Reshaping Technique to the eleventh level, magic treasures below the fairy immortal standard could not hurt him. However, being hit by this unknown thing falling from the sky was obviously harmful. What level of existence did that have to be?
After he forced his soul to stabilize, Lyu Liang gazed at the thing that had hit him. He originally thought it was a magic treasure but it turned out to be a strange living creature!
A small four-legged globular monster with four wings and no facial features was lying on the ground not far from him. The monster covered its top with its two front legs and a personified “Ouch” sound came from its mouth. It had also received a hard knock.
The little monster was not big, and its height was almost the same as Black when he was seated. Lyu Liang could only distinguish from the direction in which its wings and legs were bent, that the place it was currently covering should be its head.
By this time, Lyu Liang had picked himself up. The little monster also rose into the air, but did not fly away and kept circling around Lyu Liang instead. A moment later, a thick voice suddenly came out, and there was silly joy in it: “Oh, oh, you are a wicked man, and a great wicked man! Great, hey hey hey! ”
Lyu Liang was stunned and suddenly remembered that in order to save Mu Xiaozi, he had been subject to being tortured by h.e.l.lfire. After that, although his soul had recovered, the sin of h.e.l.lfire was still within him.
Looking at the little monster in front of him, Lyu Liang was not as defensive as before. He asked with a smile, “Who are you, little fellow? Is there anything wrong?”
The little monster heard the words and stopped in front of Lyu Liang. It seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, it muttered, “I forgot my name, too… I’m hungry. I need to eat! I’m sleepy and want to sleep!”
Lyu Liang felt helpless. The little monster looked like a pig, and its nature was also like that of a pig. Then he laughed and said, “Why don’t I call you Fatty? What would you like to eat?”
“Oh, my name is Fatty! I want to eat natural treasures or magic treasures, as well as demonic beasts. You have it on you. Can you give it to me? When I sleep, I’ll attach myself to you. So many sins, it must be comfortable!” The little monster seemed very happy and jumped up and down around Lyu Liang. What it said made him unable to determine whether to cry or to laugh.
Eating magic treasures and demonic beasts? It was too astounding! Also, intending to attach itself to my body to enjoy the h.e.l.lfire? Others try their best to avoid h.e.l.lfire, while this fellow actually thirsted for it.
“Little Liang, give it your promise. Although I don’t know exactly what it is, I can feel that it is by no means a weak existence. Now that you have encountered it, it’s fate. Let’s take it first. If it can absorb your h.e.l.lfire, then it is to your advantage!” Black’s timely secret information moved Lyu Liang’s heart.
Thus, Lyu Liang did not hesitate. First, he picked out several commonly used treasures including Feiling Sword and some high-ranking natural treasures and put them in a pile. Then he told the little monster that the others could be eaten at will.
In the past years, Lyu Liang had killed many high-level cultivators and obtained their storage bags. Now he had a small store in his hands. Previously he pondered how to deal with these unused magic treasures and materials. Now it seemed that there was no need to worry about it.
Originally, Lyu Liang planned to take out part of these items for Fatty to eat. As a result, this fellow went directly into Lyu Liang’s Interspatial Bracelet and then began to eat quickly.
The first to be eaten by it was the body of a giant cyan python that had long existed in the Interspatial Bracelet. This was what Lyu Liang got when he underwent a trial in the Sword Character Immortal Palace. He once wanted to sell it for money. As a result, not only did he not lack money, but also he had become very rich. Naturally, it did not need to be sold, so it was left there untouched.
After eating the python, Fatty belched satisfactorily and patted his belly, then disappeared from the Interspatial Bracelet. The next moment, this fellow appeared in Lyu Liang’s body, and his figure seemed much smaller than before. He snored contentedly under the Karma Streamer.
“Why is this guy like you? It seems that it has no concepts of being prohibited and blocked by restriction formations…” Lyu Liang helplessly ranted to Black, and there was only one thought in his mind, “It’s better if you don’t eat like this every day, otherwise my seemingly rich store will not be enough for him even for a few meals.”
