Chapter 559 (2/2)

As Daoist Xu Yang arrived there, he happened to see the scene of Tang Xiu savagely beating the fierce beasts. His lips twitched a few times when he saw Tang Xiu’s ferocious and aggressive actions. It must be noted that, as someone who took the Daoist path and became a cultivator, it had been a long time since he attacked with fists, since a few simple spells were already sufficed to solve all problems.

Is he really a cultivator?

The thought crossed his mind, yet he showed a bitter smile and shook his head. He then looked at Tang Xiu and called out, “Daoist Tang, isn’t it enough for you to use some spells to devastate them? Our physique is indeed remarkable, but kicking and punching them using our strength is too wasteful.”

After delivering hundreds of savage kicks and punches in one breath, Tang Xiu halted his actions and turned to look at Daoist Xu Yang, saying, “Using magic spells is indeed normal since you have formidable cultivation. I can tell you that if we are only comparing notes, I’m not necessarily better than you; but if we were mortal enemies and had a life-and-death combat, I have 80% certainty of killing you.”

Having said that, he pondered for a moment and continued, “Anyhow, I’ll give you a present after we return.”

Despite being unable to believe Tang Xiu’s words, Daoist Xu Yang still asked with a confused expression, “What present?”

“A membership card for the best gymnasium in Jingmen Island,” said Tang Xiu calmly.

A membership card for a training center?

Daoist Xu Yang’s complexion was that of being at a loss between laughter and tears, “You’re kidding me, Daoist Tang. I don’t think there’s any suitable training center in the world for me, considering my strength.”

“I told you that you’ve been caging yourself in the bottom of a well, but I didn’t expect your insight and experience to be so shallow as well.” Tang Xiu said lightly. “As a cultivator, you think that as long as you have a very high cultivation level and strong mental state is enough already? You’re completely mistaken. Dao cultivators are indeed very powerful, but there’s another type of cultivation system in the world — Fleshly Body Cultivation. The body is the foundation for each and every person. If ones’ body is not formidable enough, they will find themselves in a miserable state when they cross the tribulations in the future.”

Once in the past, Tang Xiu also believed that one could be called as a genuinely formidable powerhouse as long as he possessed high cultivation level and powerful mental force. Later on, after having undergone countless hardships and tribulations, it dawned upon that one’s body was the foundation, as every high-rise building started with its foundation first. If the foundation was not adequately prepared or solid enough, even though one possessed high cultivation level, he would end up very miserable when he came across a genuine powerhouse.

For Fleshly Body cultivators, they would eventually enter the journey to the Dao after they had finished tempering their bodies and used the spiritual force they had cultivated to aid them. When they reached perfection in their physique cultivation, by the time they had immortal physiques they would be able to erupt with terrifying might relying only on their bare hands. The physique of Fleshly Body cultivators was even comparable with the hardiness of Immortal Tools.

Daoist Xu Yang fell into silence. He didn’t know whether he should believe Tang Xiu’s words, because he couldn’t accept a lot of contents in Tang Xiu’s explanation. He even felt that Tang Xiu’s words were somewhat exaggerated.

Don’t tell me he knows something about what happens when one is crossing tribulations?

The thought crossed Daoist Xu, though he immediately cast it away to the back of his head. He was perfectly aware of that his relationship with Tang Xiu at present could only be regarded as a casual acquaintance. It was far from being able to make Tang Xiu tell him some true secrets. However, he also firmly made up his mind to be on good terms with Tang Xiu, since he would probably obtain something that greatly benefitted him in the future.

After Tang Xiu had badly beaten the two savage beasts, he kicked their feet at will and only stopped until he saw tt they were unable to crawl up again. With a satisfied expression, he turned to Daoist Xu Yang and said, “Alright, don’t just blindly try to fathom what I said. There are loads of savage beasts on this island, and their number perhaps amounts to hundreds. Help me give them some beatings.”

“All right, then let us separate here!” Daoist Xu Yang nodded and said.

For the entire day, a total of 146 fierce beasts on Resting Cemetery Island were all badly beaten and ended up miserably as they screeched, whined, and roared unceasingly one after another.

Furthermore, Ji Chimei, who directly rushed to the south coast of Resting Cemetery Island, had captured over a thousand fierce beasts there, and constantly attacked and savagely beat them. The originally wild and ferocious beasts had turned extremely docile after just a day’s time; just like a flock of cute, small lambs.

In the still of the night, Ji Chimei stood beside Tang Xiu, who was watching the dying beasts, and respectfully reported, “I just used my spiritual sense to check the surroundings, Lord. The number of fierce beasts within a radius of 200 kilometers number about over 3,600. However, my spiritual sense is in an impaired state and I was unable to investigate more than 200 meters in the deep sea, thus I don’t know how many beasts there are beyond that range. Also, I can’t find that terrifying fierce beast you mentioned to me.”

Tang Xiu was silent for a moment before slowly replying, “Let us capture and bring those 3,600 fierce beasts to Resting Cemetery Island first. We’ll then make a trip down there. If we don’t remove this threat, I’m afraid there will be a crisis in the future.”

Ji Chimei nodded silently.

In the next four days, Tang Xiu and the Everlasting Feast Hall’s experts, as well as Ji Chimei and Daoist Xu Yang, formed a party and spent a lot of effort to catch more than 3,600 savage beasts on the Resting Cemetery Island, as the beasts trashed miserably one after another.

“Let’s go to the sea!” Tang Xiu rushed into the sea after they finished.

With her formidable strength, Ji Chimei directly released her immortal force to protect Tang Xiu, as the duo continued to sink deep into the seafloor.

“Something is amiss here, Venerable Lord.”

Ji Chimei was originally very calm. After all, she still possessed her strength and didn’t believe there was anything on Earth that could threaten her safety. After they submerged deep into the sea for 200 plus meters, however, she keenly sensed that there were some abnormalities there.
