Eternal Life (永生) Ch. 66
The Five Great True Disciples
Splash, splash.
One ‘Heavenly Devil’ after another was thrown into the ‘Yellow Springs River’ and cleansed and refined into pellets, causing Fang Han felt exuberant in his heart. Afterwards he dispersed the ‘Sky Wolf Smoke’ around his body and walked step by step towards the female disciples, arriving in front of them. He sat down, crossing his legs, and took out a ‘Primal Essence Pellet’, which he swallowed. Drinking a few mouthfuls of water, he closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, resting his exhausted body.
The danger had already pa.s.sed, but the female disciples didn’t dare let their guard down. Seeing Fang Han in this state, they knew he had used excessive amounts of energy.
After swallowing the ‘Primal Essence Pellet’, from within Fang Han’s lower abdomen came a surging heat. Fang Han circulated his blood and qi, allowing this heat to circulate throughout his entire body, slowly restoring his spiritual power and reducing his feeling of exhaustion. He stood back up.
“Fang Han senior brother, you were actually able to kill hundreds of ‘Heavenly Devils’! I’m afraid even the top three senior brothers and sisters on the ‘Shan’he Rankings’ don’t have this ability.”
One of the female disciples, upon seeing Fang Han sober up, complimented him. After having weathered the storm, they were naturally all cheerful.
“This was only because I was able to rely on the power of the ‘Seven Evil Spirits Gourd’ bao’qi. If I didn’t have this bao’qi, if it was just an ordinary ling’qi, then right now, we would have already been cut to pieces by the ‘Heavenly Devils’,” Fang Han patted the ‘Seven Evil Spirits Gourd’. He didn’t want to expose his own strength, and thus pushed all of the credit of victory onto the fact that he had the gourd.
But it was also indeed that way, as if he didn’t have the ‘Seven Evil Spirits Gourd’, don’t even think about several hundred ‘Heavenly Devils’, even tens of ‘Heavenly Devils’ would be difficult.
Furthermore, the reason the ‘Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon’ turned out to be so effective was because the ‘Heavenly Devils’ had expended so much energy to disperse the ‘Sky Wolf Smoke’. Otherwise, while it would have seriously injured them, it wouldn’t have been to the extent that they couldn’t fly away.
These faces of these female disciples, upon seeing the ‘Seven Evil Spirits Gourd’, all showed obvious feelings of envy. After all, it was a bao’qi; it was something that even true disciples rarely had. Its was just so useful.
“That’s right, just now, senior brother used a mantra technique. Which school’s technique is it? It was so overbearing. I have heard Long senior sister’s demonstration of our Yu’hua School’s ‘n.o.ble Spirit Long Song’, but this seems to be different. Is it not our Yu’hua School’s?” asked Xu Yue Er.
“This was something taught to me by a foreign person before I entered the Yu’hua School. However, they didn’t tell me what it was called. This is one of my small secrets, I hope senior and junior sisters will not leak it out.” Fang Han casually made up a harmless lie.
“Of course. Fang senior brother has saved our lives, showing us great kindness. How could we possibly leak one of Fang brother’s secrets?” The several female disciples nodded their heads, “Wouldn’t that be too narrow minded? If the ‘Jia’lan Elder Sister’ learned that we did something like that, they wouldn’t forgive us.”
“The ‘Jia’lan Elder Sister’?” asked Fang Han.
“Could it be that Fang senior brother hasn’t heard of Ling Xiao of the East, Jia Lan of the West, Yao Guang of the North, Wan Luo of the South, and Tian Dou of the Middle?” Seeing Fang Han’s unknowing face, Xu Yue Er chuckled, explaining, “This is a way of describing our Yu’hua School. Amongst all of the powerful true disciples, there are five who stand out from the rest. One of them is our elder sister of the ‘Jia’lan Group’. Since the ‘Jia’lan Peak’ that she lives on is in the west, she is known as Jia Lan of the West. Their powers are even greater than the great elders of the Yu’hua School. Amongst them, Jia Lan and Yao Guang are senior sisters, while the rest, Ling Xiao, Wan Luo, and Tian Dou, are senior brothers. They are the ones who have hope of gaining longevity.”
“So it was like this,” upon hearing their explantion, Fang Han’s face couldn’t help but show a look of reverence. Within his heart, he knew that these true disciples were without a doubt extraordinary. They were more powerful than s.h.i.+ Long Zi and Jin s.h.i.+ Tai, and perhaps even Fang Qing Xue.
However, Fang Qing Xue’s improvement speed is extremely fast. That day I heard teacher Bai Hai Chen say she was at the third stage of the ‘Divine Realm’, the ‘Basic Universe’ stage, but now she is already at the fourth stage, the ‘Yin Yang’ stage. Furthermore, during her battle against the ‘Demon G.o.d’, she comprehended many mysteries. With her G.o.dlike improvement speed, I’m afraid that she will quickly be able to rival these five people. I wonder how that Devil General, Ying Tian Qing, compares to these five? He’s probably around the same level.
The five great experts of the east, west, north, south, and middle didn’t include Fang Qing Xue. Within Fang Han’s heart, this led to a sliver of discomfort. After all, the more powerful Fang Qing Xue was, the better she would be able to cover for him. Currently, his wings were not quite full, and thus he needed stronger people to protect him.
“As of right now, all of the ‘Heavenly Devils’ have been exterminated by us. However, we cannot act rashly! Let us remain here and recover our spiritual energy and rest. There is no way that the hundreds of ‘Heavenly Devils’ we met just now are the entirety of the population within the ‘Heavenly Devil Arena’. If we meet another large group, it will be extremely dangerous.”
Xu Yue Er and Ye Yu gave their instructions, and then requested for Fang Han’s further advice.
“Yes, we should first rest here for a moment. However, we must still be moving. The number of ‘Heavenly Devils’ within the arena has increased sharply, and if we are in such danger, I’m afraid other disciples are in even more danger. We are all Yu’hua School disciples, and thus we should rescue the ones that we can. As I have the ‘Seven Evil Spirits Gourd’, I cannot just sit here and do nothing.”
Fang Han suggested that they rescued others. Currently, he had added several people to his forces. Furthermore, with the restraining effects of the ‘Billowing Pines Zither’ and ‘Cloud Water Flute’ ling’qi on the ‘Heavenly Devils’ a.s.sisting him, as long as they were careful, they would be able to kill many ‘Heavenly Devils’.
