Sovereign to Immortality

Su Baozhang almost shouted out loud in shock: “How can we be opponents? Brother Jun Shan, we can’t give up our lives for a mere high ranked immortal spirit!”

Su Baozhang followed behind Yang Junshan and followed the direction that the huge bear had left in earlier, and snuck behind the mountain slope.

Yang Junshan laughed softly: “Brother Bao Zhang, don’t worry, look at me, do I look like someone who doesn’t know his place?”

Without waiting for Su Baozhang to finish his words, Yang Junshan continued: “I think by the time we arrive, we’ll be able to clear up the mess!”

Seeing Su Baozhang’s doubtful expression, Yang Junshan urged him: “Earlier, there were a few people who shattered the protective talisman, I believe the mountain guarding cultivators of Heaven-Shaken Sect will arrive soon. Quickly go, let’s go, don’t let them discover us, you’ll understand when we arrive!”

Not long after Yang Junshan and Su Baozhang left, a ray of light descended from the sky, and the robust figure of the Xiong Man Shan appeared above the heads of the youths who were dismembering the purple striated pig.

Zhang Yueming and the rest immediately went up to pay their respects. The Xiong Man Shan made a “En” sound, looked at the purple striated pig that was almost dismembered by the youths, and nodded in satisfaction: “Not bad, this purple striated pig was killed by you, I think you have gotten the Purple Cloud Skin too!”

Zhang Yueming replied respectfully: “It is all because of the sect’s respect, and the blessings of the seniors, that junior was able to obtain such good fortune!”

After the Xiong Man Shan heard this, he was very satisfied with Zhang Yueming, not to mention that he was favored by the sect, his future cultivation was at the peak, and it might even be possible that he would have to depend on himself, so he put all his effort into making a mild expression and said: “Since the sect test has already been passed, then you and the few little fellows who have already shattered the protective talisman can leave this competition.”

The faces of the three youths who had shattered the Inscriptions paled. Previously, they had been following Zhang Yueming and hunting fierce beasts, but they had not obtained any Celestial Spirits, so when they thought of withdrawing from the competition three years later, they couldn’t help but feel a little sad in their hearts. However, these were the rules of the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s Celestial Enclosure for thousands of years.

Zhang Yueming’s expression changed, and immediately said: “Senior, can you wait for a moment?”

If it was a normal person, with Xiong Man Shan’s patience, he would have slapped him a long time ago. But right now, he had the intention to show goodwill to the future star of the sect, so he didn’t mind accepting some additional requests.

Zhang Yueming quickly walked towards the skinned purple striated pig, cut off a few pieces of its plump flesh and gave them to the three youths, then said: “My three brothers, help me get the immortal spirit is a waste of my time, Yue Ming feels guilty, these bones are the most useful essence of the wild beast, other than the Celestial Spirit, I would like to ask you three brothers to take it away for me to show my appreciation.”

Zhang Yueming paused for a moment, his expression becoming more sincere, he said: “The three of you can rest assured, although I have already obtained a Celestial Spirit, I will not leave the enclosure, and instead, will help the three of you find the Celestial Spirit, if there are more in my hands, I will definitely bring them out to the three of you!”

If it was said that the three youths from before still resented the fact that they had lost the opportunity to hunt because of helping Zhang Yueming, now, all they could do was feel grateful upon hearing Zhang Yueming’s words.

Seeing Zhang Yueming’s actions, the Xiong Man Shan became more and more convinced that he would definitely become an expert in the future, and the way he looked at Zhang Yueming became more and more amiable. Hearing that Zhang Yueming was planning to continue hunting for the immortal spirits, he casually asked: “Since you want to stay, do you havarget?”

Zhang Yueming replied respectfully: That’s right, earlier, when junior was chasing after the purple striated pig, I encountered a mountain tiger ….

“What, you met that beast?”

Xiong Man Shan’s face suddenly changed, but he quickly realised what was going on and immediately suppressed his anger and spoke witint of understanding: “So the reason why the three of them broke the Body Protection Rune wasn’t because of the purple striated pig, but because of that Mountain Tiger?”

Zhang Yueming didn’t know why Xiong Man Shan had such an expression, but he respectfully replied anyway: “Yes!”

Xiong Man Shan frowned, as though he had some sort of doubt in his expression, he spoke in a measured voice: “What’s so good about chasing that big cat? For you little guys, not only is it dangerous, you might not even be able to get a celestial spirit.”

The Mountain Guarding Cultivators were all martial arts realm high order cultivator s born in the Heaven-Shaken Sect, so they were not completely familiar with the distribution of the immortal spirits in the surrounding area. Naturally, they were also extremely familiar with the distribution.

Although the rules of the Xiong Man Shan were unable to divulge any information about the hunting youngster who had entered the encampment, the fact that he had hinted to him before was extremely obvious. As an inner disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, if there really waelestial Spirit that was better than the Purple Cloud Skin in the encampment, how could he not leave it for him!

There was only one reason, and that was, whether it was the Treadmill bear or the Mountain Tiger, they did not have any celestial spirits in their bodies!

How could Zhang Yueming not hear the hidden meaning behind the Xiong Man Shan, but he only hesitated for a moment, and then said: “Junior knows senior’s good intentions, even if the inside of this beast does not have a celestial spirit, its meat, skin, and bones are still great nourishment for us, furthermore, this beast has already been injured by this junior’s Fire Bird Talisman, if we do not kill it, it will waste this junior’s Fire Bird Talisman and everyone’s hard work!”

Xiong Man Shan made a ‘oh’ sound, smacked his lips, and said: “Since that’s the case, then we will do as you see fit. Old Bear will not say anymore, it seems like the few things in your hands can deal with that beast. Since you three little fellows are here, you no longer have the qualifications to stay in the enclosure.”

… ….

Yang Junshan and Su Baozhang followed the footsteps left by the Treadmill bear one after the other. Su Baozhang’s brows were furrowed ever since they left the rubble, and after a while, he could not help but ask Yang Junshan: “Brother Jun Shan, do you think that the mountain tiger and the Treadmill bear, these strong fierce beasts, can be considered as the peak of the entire Banyan Mountain Enclosure? The cultivators of Heaven-Shaken Sect should have noticed this earlier, why is it that after two rounds of the Immortal Spirit Hunt, the two fierce beasts are still alive and well, and that’s not quite right, could it be that the luck of the two fierce beasts are as good as that Mountain Crashing Bull? ”

Yang Junshan didn’t even turn his head and said: “It’s not that these two beasts are lucky, but rather that the cultivators guarding the mountain of Heaven-Shaken Sect simply do not think that these two beasts are nurturing immortal spirits from the start. The cultivators from the first two rounds of Immortal Hunting are all people who possess internal methods, and I’m afraid they have some understanding of this, so they would naturally not waste their energy on these two beasts.”

Su Baozhang’s feet paused, and he said: “No celestial spirit? “It shouldn’t be. At that time, it was clear that without the Immortal Spirit Tiger Bone supporting the Steelfang Tiger, how could it escape the range of the flame even after being heavily injured by the Fire Bird Talisman?”

Yang Junshan “Hehe” laughed: “The problem is that at that time, you and I were the only ones standing at the top and witnessing the scene of the mountain tiger being trapped in the sea of fire, so Zhang Yueming and the others didn’t know about it.”

Su Baozhang was puzzled, “Then how can you hide it from Heaven-Shaken Sect’s Martial Realm Cultivator?”

Yang Junshan laughed with an unfathomable expression: “Didn’t you think that Big Brother Zhang just now, that giant bear looked like it has intelligence, and maybe this mountain tiger is the same, and these fierce beasts with intelligence maybe had innate methods to hide their immortal spirits!”

The two of them climbed over the mountain ridge, and from afar, they heard a low growl. Looking around, they saw a clearing in the forest on the other side of the mountain valley, and the surrounding trees and grass were all over the ground. The two enormous fierce beasts were engaged in an intense battle to the death.

The battle between these two vicious beasts was extremely intense, and blood was flying everywhere. However, the two vicious beasts rarely roared at each other, and even when they did, they appeared abnormally deep. If they didn’t climb over the mountain ridge, they wouldn’t even be able to hear it.

The back of the mountain tiger was completely red, and its left hind leg was completely fractured. It, who was severely injured before, was barely supporting itself with three legs; the entire body of the Treadmill bear was also black and red, and several wounds could be seen on its chest and abdomen. A wound ran from its forehead to its jaw, and one of its eye sockets was bleeding, its eyeballs long gone.

Su Baozhang stared dumbfoundedly at the two beasts and muttered to himself: “How could we meet each other here, wasn’t that mountain tiger heading towards the west?”

Yang Junshan seemed to have already anticipated this, and said in a deep voice: “Very clearly, the route of breaking through Zhang Yueming’s group while riding on the back of the mountain tiger earlier was to intentionally mislead them. This big cat actually wanted to escape in the direction of this valley under the mountain ridge, but unexpectedly, it was ambushed by the Treadmill bear here.

Su Baozhang asked curiously: Ambush? You mean this Treadmill bear is here on purpose, how did it know that a mountain tiger would come here? ”

Yang Junshan laughed, and replied with a question: “This bear even knows how to listen to the music, why not know the path of the mountain tiger beforehand?”

Su Baozhang opened his mouth, but did not know how to explain. He shook his head with a look of disbelief, and asked: “Then what do we do now?”

Yang Junshan laughed: Of course, naturally it’s mantis stalking and catching cicadas, the oriole is right behind, but this time we’re the oriole!

The moment Yang Junshan’s voice fell, he saw Su Baozhang’s gaze abruptly change. Yang Junshan froze for a moment, and when he followed his gaze, he saw that roughly two to three kilometers away, on the western side of the col, Zhang Yueming and the other youths were following the trail of the mountain tiger as they escaped. Although the direction they were following was the southern route, what Yang Junshan was concerned about was the multicolored butterfly that had been fluttering above Zhang Yueming’s head.

Butterfly Tracking Sigil! Zhang Yueming actually had this kind of talisman in his hands!

With this kind of talisman guiding them, even if Zhang Yueming and the rest followed the wrong direction, as long as it was a mountain tiger path, this butterfly would eventually chase after them. It would at most waste some time.

“I have to hurry!” As Yang Junshan said this, he held out the three stone carving big bow that he was carrying on his back.

Su Baozhang almost shouted out loud in shock: “How can we be opponents? Brother Jun Shan, we can’t give up our lives for a mere high ranked immortal spirit!”

Su Baozhang followed behind Yang Junshan and followed the direction that the huge bear had left in earlier, and snuck behind the mountain slope.
