Chapter 1237: Chapter 1241: Jun Tianding

“Yes! This is just the outer part of the Immeasurable Sect, venturing deeper, one can see even more beautiful landscapes.”

Wang Liang had grown tired of these sights, to him, they were not surprising.

But for Xia Liu, coming here for the first time, he would surely be amazed.

The sky here was bluer and brighter than outside the boundaries.

The air was incredibly fresh.

It was like The Peach Blossom Spring.

“Haha, Sect Master Wang, please take me to meet Senior Jun directly.”

“Ha! Daoist Fellow Xia, you’re straightforward and honest. My honored master is named Jun Tianding, a very kind elder…”

Seeing Xia Liu take the initiative, Wang Liang briefly shared his master’s information with Xia Liu.

Although he had already guessed what his master wanted with Xia Liu,

Wang Liang still needed to do his job well.

If possible, he hoped his master would retract that thought.

After all, Xia Liu possessed unimaginable potential.

“Understood, Sect Master Wang, take me to the place.”

After learning the basic information about Jun Tianding, Xia Liu didn’t want to stay long.

Because this place gave him a sense of illusion.

The beautiful scenery seemed to hide unspeakable ugliness.

Xia Liu couldn’t explain this intuition.

“Hehe! Alright!”

Wang Liang didn’t have any intention of refusing, as his master had given him too much pressure.

With Xia Liu’s arrival, the pressure he carried was finally gone.

Wang Liang led Xia Liu, flying with sword control.

They passed over Morning City.

From above, they could see the vastness and magnificence of the Immeasurable Sect’s Morning City.

The surrounding area was quite expansive.

One could imagine how high-level the guardian formation of the Immeasurable Sect was.

What puzzled Xia Liu was that within the range of his divine sense, it seemed there was no array presence detected.

He was constantly moving.

Logically speaking, he should have detected the aura of the array.

Yet, there was nothing.

Could it be that the Immeasurable Sect’s guardian formation covered dozens of miles?

That seemed impossible.

The reason was something Xia Liu had to investigate further to understand.

After passing through Morning City, Wang Liang flew with Xia Liu for about ten miles.

A dense forest appeared in the field in front.

“We’re here!”

Upon seeing the forest, Wang Liang immediately descended.

Entering the forest with sword control would be disrespectful to his honored master.

He dared not do such a thing.

“There’s a barrier in the forest, divine sense can’t enter!”

After steadying himself, Xia Liu immediately perceived the mystery within the forest.

This technique of shielding divine sense wouldn’t appear in a place without significance.

It felt like the forest wasn’t so simple.

“Apologies, Daoist Fellow Xia, this forest is my honored master’s residence, so there’s a barrier.”

“No need to apologize, I understand.”

Xia Liu waved his hand repeatedly, though he hadn’t actually seen Jun Tianding yet, he was prepared.

Should Jun Tianding harbor any ill intent towards him,

he would have to pay a painful price.

“Honored Master, sorry to disturb!”

After a pause, Wang Liang softly called ahead into the lush forest.

Though his voice was quiet, it was imbued with spiritual energy; with his level of Qi Cultivation at the fifteenth layer, it could be heard even ten miles away.

Soon, a response came from within the green forest: “What is it?”

The response was calm, with a touch of age and more of powerlessness.

Like an ordinary person who hasn’t eaten for a long time, worn out and lacking energy.

“Honored Master, I’ve brought Daoist Fellow Xia.”

Uh!

There was silence from within the green forest, after a moment of surprise, a thick, unmatched aura surged out from the depths of the green foliage.

The wild wind howled ceaselessly.

The trees within the forest swayed endlessly.

As the aura approached closer,

Xia Liu felt unprecedented pressure.

However, he silently circulated the Five Elements Mantra, augmenting himself with the Power of the Five Elements, significantly reducing the pressure on his body.

In an instant, a figure appeared with the wind at the edge of the green forest.

Pale white hair, a long white robe draped over a withered frame.

Looking at him, Xia Liu’s heart slightly trembled.

Because this elderly man resembled a dried corpse.

If not for his bright eyes, Xia Liu would have thought he was dead.

Realizing just how impulsively he had revealed himself, Jun Tianding immediately beckoned, and a robe flew from the depths of the forest.

Under the cover of the black robe, Jun Tianding’s appearance was completely hidden.

“Young friend, apologies for frightening you.”

After tidying up the black robe, Jun Tianding said with a bitter smile.

“Senior, what do you mean by such words?” Xia Liu responded.

“Haha, you’re Xia Liu, right? I’ve heard Wang Liang mention you before.”

“To have my name remembered by Senior, Xia Liu considers fortunate.”

Xia Liu cupped his hands in greeting and said politely.

“Young Friend Xia, you’re too courteous. Let me take you for a walk to see the beautiful sights of the Immeasurable Sect.”

“Okay!”

Knowing each other quite well, Wang Liang did not follow as he lacked the qualification.

After over an hour of walking, Jun Tianding and Xia Liu talked about many things, big and small.

They also spoke of worldly amusements.

Finally, Jun Tianding got to the point.

Under the black robe, his focused eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance: “Young Friend Xia, the reason I brought you here today is because I’m preparing to relinquish my dao.”

“Huh? What does Senior Jun mean? Your aura is very stable, how could you relinquish your dao?”

Xia Liu feigned surprise.

“All must die eventually; cultivators cannot escape the law of reincarnation.”

Jun Tianding shook his head, saying, “Decades ago, when I realized I didn’t have long to live, I had an idea.”

“Oh? What does Senior Jun wish to do? If it’s something I can accomplish, I will do my best.”

“Young Friend Xia, my idea can only be completed by you.”

“Please explain, Senior.”

“My origin is wood. Over the years, I’ve thoroughly studied the Wood Origin and discovered it has three stages. I’m now in the second stage, but time doesn’t allow me to reach the third stage, so I hope for a cultivator with the same Wood Origin to advance to that stage.”

As he finished, Jun Tianding looked at Xia Liu with trembling eyes.

Hoping he would understand his will.

Even if he was about to die, even if he would no longer exist, to see someone with destiny elevate the Wood Origin to the final step at the last moment brought contentment in parting.

“Senior Jun! You want me to cultivate according to the spell you designed to enhance the Wood Origin, and elevate the Wood Origin to the third stage?”

Xia Liu’s breath quickened.

He was very clear about the power of the Origin.

The Origin has not just three stages.

To be accurate, each of the Five Elements Origin has four stages,

of which Xia Liu’s Origin Power, the Fire Origin, has reached the second stage.

The rest are at the first stage.

And if the Wood Origin reaches the fourth stage, which is the final stage,

the cultivator will obtain the Ultimate Power of the Wood Origin.

It is a true power of life force.

A wave of the hand, life bursts forth over a hundred miles…
