Chapter 115 - 88: Four Profound Skills, Nine Calamities Demon-Vanquishing

In the blink of an eye, over a month had passed.

They had only covered a quarter of the journey to Yuan City.

The SPLASHING of the heavy rain, mixed with the howling wind and the rustling of branches and leaves, echoed through the mountains and rivers like the wailing of ghosts and howling of wolves.

Since leaving Feiyun City, the group had matured rapidly. Even Wang Ming’s manner of speaking seemed much more composed.

Ji Xiaolu held Xu Zhan in her arms. The baby was tugging at Hai’s tail, leaving the animal with an expression of absolute despair.

Miss Chun and Xu Chun sat around the fire. They used a Bone Needle and Intestinal Thread to stitch various Beast Hides together, making clothes and diapers for Xu Zhan—even though the little fellow had never once soiled himself indiscriminately.

Wang Wen and Xing Hua lay on their stomachs, blowing air through bamboo tubes into the campfire to make the cave a bit warmer.

"Uncle Guang, when will my little brother grow up?"

Xu Guang smiled. "When you’re as big as I am, Zhan will be able to play with you."

Wang Wen, whose face was smudged with soot like a little dirty cat, furrowed his brow and said with some grievance, "Ah, it’s going to take that long?"

Xu Guang rubbed his head. "Alright, go eat something. Hai caught a cow today, it smells delicious."

"I’m not eating beef!" Wang Wen pouted, muttering under his breath.

Xu Guang fell silent. He suspected that his decisive killing of Lu Ren last time had been a bad influence on his nephew.

Soon, Xu Chun’s scolding voice echoed through the cave.

"So you won’t eat beef, huh? You won’t eat beef? Are you going to eat it or not?!"

The heavy veil of night descended.

Xu Guang leaned against the cave wall, his eyes bright and clear.

"Husband, why didn’t you practice your Cultivation today? Is something the matter?" Ji Xiaolu found her man’s quietness today a bit strange.

Hearing this, Xu Guang quickly reached out and pulled his wife into his arms. "I was just thinking about a few things. Don’t worry, it’s a good thing."

"That’s good." Ji Xiaolu didn’t press further; she trusted Xu Guang.

Despite fleeing the whole way, this felt like the happiest time of her life. Her husband was by her side, and her son was close at hand...

If possible, she hoped this journey would go on forever.

Xu Guang patted her back, quietly watching the progress on the Searcher.

Finally...

[The current search results are as follows:]

[1. In the Hidden Cloud Peak of the Two Arm Mountains, there is the meditation ground where the Hermit Yuchi Xu passed away in a sitting posture many years ago. During his lifetime, he obtained seven volumes of Profound Skills. He spent his entire life studying them and created the "Nine Calamities Demon-Vanquishing Chaotic Profound Skill," planting fruits through disasters and drawing upon the Profound World Tribulation Power. This can serve as a Sensing Profound Skill. The current location is as follows. Note: Yuchi Xu only reached the Refining Viscera Realm. The "Nine Calamities Demon-Vanquishing Chaotic Profound Skill" is merely a theoretical Cultivation Technique he deduced, which may harbor hidden dangers. Furthermore, the place where Yuchi Xu passed away is heavily trapped and likely perilous.]

[2. Ninety miles east of Feiyun City lies the former Wei River God Temple. Thirty years ago, Nangong, an outcast of the Taoist Sect’s Yujing Mountain, passed through here. Feeling inspired, he left behind three volumes of scriptures for those destined to find them, which contain the "Innate Primordial Yin Yang Profound Skill," a secret transmission from Yujing Mountain. The current location and form are as follows. Note: Nangong is an outcast of Yujing Mountain. He is wanton by nature and ruthless in his actions, earning the title of Old Demon Nangong. Cultivating this Profound Skill may bring about disasters.]

[3. Eight hundred miles south of Feiyun City is Luofeng Slope. A century ago, the Taoist Sect’s Taiping Dao preached here, leaving behind twenty-one volumes of scriptures. Among them are the "Treasure Vase Scripture," the "Inquiry into the Profound Scripture," and the "Innate Pure Yang Celestial Treasure Manual." The current location is as follows. Note: Although Taiping Dao is called a Taoist Sect, it belongs to the mutated heterodox path of Demons. The three Profound Skills each have their own flaws. Moreover, the scripture storage site is located in the Profound Cave of Xuan City.]

[4. Traveling a thousand miles downstream along the Wei River, one will find a market named Immortal Residence. Inside are Mutated Sensing Profound Martial Artists who have all fallen into corruption, worshipping the Profound World Mother of Lifeless as their Deity. Those who enter and consume human flesh can comprehend the Profound Skill "Deathless Lifeless Ageless Profound Skill." Note: This Cultivation Technique belongs to the Mutated Martial Dao. To cultivate it, one must worship a Deity of the Profound World, which will pollute their sanity.]

[Note: The current search results show 4 items.]

Xu Guang slowly let out a breath. Of the four choices, the latter two could essentially be ruled out, while the first two...

He could only choose the first one. After all, the creator of the Profound Skill was already dead, so cultivating it wouldn’t attract any disasters.
