Chapter 895 759: The One with the Highest Comprehension in Mingshan Sect
Deep within the Extreme Abyss, in the cave where the Three Sects coexist.
The long-waiting Sect Hierarch Tianyi couldn't help but ask again, "Still haven't found it?"
Du Wulang, sitting cross-legged with a pair of pale eyes, was already trembling slightly, a reaction of excessive consumption.
The three people sent out to investigate by the Three Sects had no news for a long time. Not daring to act recklessly, they could only urge this one again to use the 'Multi-Eye' skill to check. He had been urged countless times.
Gui Cang Sect Master, wearing a white robe, suddenly stopped and said: "Whether the three of them have discovered anything or not, at least they know we're waiting for news. It's impossible for them to be delayed for so long without even one person returning. Something must have happened, we can't stay here any longer, we must transfer quickly!"
This statement struck a chord of unease in the hearts of the others.
With a unanimous opinion and without a word of consideration, they reacted instantly like birds startled by the twang of a bowstring. The people of the Three Sects swiftly transferred as soon as they decided.
The next day, as dawn broke, Zhu Xiangxin, refreshed and invigorated, emerged from the cave, voluntarily taking over the watch from Shen Moming and sending him back to rest.
As soon as Shi Chun sensed movement outside, he immediately came out and directly found Zhu Xiangxin to ask, "Have your injuries healed?"
Zhu Xiangxin nodded, "I was healed by midnight, took some time to adjust my breathing, and I'm fully recovered. That fruit is indeed extraordinary as the legends say." After speaking, he glanced around, "It's a pity the commotion from releasing the 'Fire Prison God Suppression Stele' was too big, otherwise, I really wanted to refine those Spirit Grasses to try them out."
By now, some of the reasons for previous exposure were already known, such as seeing Wu Jinliang grilling fish and Tong Mingshan refining artifacts in the Heavenly Mirror.
Shi Chun was no longer concerned about these matters, and asked, "How are Li Hongjiu and the Sect Master recovering?"
Mainly wanting to inquire about Li Hongjiu's condition, he was not resting in the same cave with everyone else but was in the cave where three Demon Cultivators were held.
Zhu Xiangxin said, "The Sect Master's severed arm has grown back more than half, but I'm not sure about Li Hongjiu."
So Shi Chun turned around and went to the other cave to check personally.
As soon as he squatted down in front of Li Hongjiu after entering the cave, Li Hongjiu opened his eyes and asked him, "What do you want?"
Shi Chun withdrew his outstretched hand, laughed awkwardly, and said, "I wanted to check how your injuries are."
Li Hongjiu turned his head to look at Tong Mingshan, who was sitting cross-legged with eyes closed not far away, staring at Tong Mingshan's arm, which was more than half grown. He sighed again, "Indeed, Mingshan Sect produces talents. The medicine refined by Zhu Xiangxin can be called divine. My severe injuries healed in just one night."
Shi Chun was overjoyed and confirmed, "Fully healed?"
Li Hongjiu frowned slightly and said warily, "You seem unusually happy. What do you want this time?"
Shi Chun didn't want to beat around the bush and bluntly said, "I had another insight into cultivation and need to disturb Brother Jiu to help me comprehend it."
The two of them had done this before, so Li Hongjiu naturally knew what he meant by helping him comprehend, and couldn't help but chuckle, "You were eager to help me heal my injuries just for this, huh?"
This was actually a tease. In his view, no one would always risk their life to save another just for cultivation insights; they are separate matters and shouldn't be mixed together.
Shi Chun stood up, bowed, almost pressing his chest to his legs, and said, "Brother Jiu, just grant me this favor."
As his injuries had healed, Li Hongjiu also wanted to see what insights Shi Chun could gain, so he stood up.
After leaving the cave, Li Hongjiu walked to the beach, looked at the sunrise, and chuckled, "Last time we caused such a big commotion and attracted all kinds of killers. You're here again this time. Do you have a death wish, or do you think I'm dying too slowly?"
Despite saying this, he wasn't actually afraid from the moment he walked out of the cave.
Additionally, seeing Shi Chun genuinely needing it, although he was mocking with his words, his actions were quite generous.
Shi Chun said, "First of all, this time it might not be discovered. Secondly, it's different from last time. Dongguo Shou won't easily act against you again, and as for the others, unless we face Dongguo Shou's 'Inch and Mile' Divine Skills, I already have an escape Magic Skill, so they may not catch us."
Li Hongjiu said, "Enough talk. Where to?"
"Over there, over there." Shi Chun hurriedly pointed in a direction to lead the way. He had chosen the spot the night before, eagerly waiting for this moment.
Both flew into the air together.
After flying quite a distance, they hovered over an island, where Shi Chun had prepared a cave in advance. This was the place.
As Li Hongjiu, floating in the air, initiated a spell, the wind and clouds gradually rose once again between heaven and earth.
Meanwhile, Shi Chun fished out the Mother-child Talisman to send a message to Wu Jinliang.
As the overwhelming thunderous power gathered, Wu Jinliang was already running over carrying a black cloth bundle, carrying a Demon Cultivator, and rushed into the huge wind pillar, entering the cave on the island.
Bringing the three Demon Cultivators together was risky; by bringing them one by one, even if something unexpected happened, only one would be lost.
After placing the person in the cave, Wu Jinliang performed some adjustments to the cave with spells, then stood at the entrance with arms akimbo, looking up at the scene of countless thunder serpents writhing in the sky within the whistling storm. It was truly spectacular.
With a loud boom, as a gigantic Thunder Sword struck down, Wu Jinliang flinched at the sight of a figure plummeting, which was none other than the excited Shi Chun.
"Did you bring it?" Shi Chun asked anxiously.
Wu Jinliang: "I did, the nest is ready for you, I'll keep watch."
Shi Chun said no more and immediately ran into the cave. After Wu Jinliang's renovation, even strong winds couldn't penetrate deep inside. Shi Chun wasted no time in extracting the Demon Essence from the Demon Cultivator in the black cloth bag.
As soon as he started to absorb, joy flooded his heart. He found the Demon Essence from the Heavenly Immortal Realm was somewhat weak but sufficient for him to absorb hundreds of times. What a pleasure!
He closed his eyes with full concentration.
In this huge wind column, one need not stand at the cave entrance. Wu Jinliang levitated swiftly on the wind currents, rising quickly to join Li Hongjiu, who was wielding countless Thunder Serpents.
Li Hongjiu turned to glance at him with irritation. "Giant Wu, Shi Chun is here pondering his cultivation. What are you doing up here?"
Every time he saw this giant fellow, it infuriated him. Being captured and injured by this guy was truly humiliating.
The first time he ever got caught by someone was by this fellow. How could he easily forget it?
Wu Jinliang rubbed his hands with a dry laugh. "Well, Lord Jiu, I don't just mooch around. I'm borrowing your skill to enlighten myself. Would you do me a favor?"
Li Hongjiu mocked, "You couldn't comprehend a thing."
Wu Jinliang raised a finger, grinning obsequiously, pleading like a bootlicker. "Just let me ponder for a while, let me ponder for a while."
As he spoke, he backed away, then began casting spells in Li Hongjiu's incredulous gaze.
Feeling the mana fluctuations from Wu Jinliang, Li Hongjiu was slightly suspicious, wanting to ask if it was real. Shi Chun seeking enlightenment was normal, but how could this bushy-browed simpleton also suddenly comprehend magic?
Could it be that everyone in Mingshan Sect was extraordinary? Isn't this too exaggerated?
After observing for a while, he found the giant had no other intentions, seemingly serious about it, which made him more puzzled.
After a while, a figure flew up from below—it was Shi Chun.
Upon seeing Wu Jinliang cultivating, he was stunned but quickly understood the situation and said to Li Hongjiu, "Brother Jiu, once more."
Li Hongjiu gestured with his chin towards Wu Jinliang, "What's this guy's deal? He says he's here to comprehend too. What's his game?"
Shi Chun hastily explained, "Brother Jiu, don't worry, he won't mess around. He's genuinely enlightening himself. In terms of perception, he's actually much higher than me, the highest in the whole Mingshan Sect. Like me, he had a harsh upbringing, lacking worldly experience, which impeded him. Let him be by your side; he won't interrupt us."
The highest perception in Mingshan Sect? Him? Li Hongjiu couldn't believe it as he scrutinized Wu Jinliang skeptically. Is it real?
He was already won over by Shi Chun's 'True Heart.' Not being won over was difficult; dedicating himself so wholeheartedly once or twice was commendable. Doing it every time transformed even a stone into warmth, let alone a living person.
Thus, he trusted Shi Chun wasn't lying, as there's no value in lying about this.
Yet he was still puzzled, curious to see what insights this giant could glean, so he said nothing more and looked skyward, once again casting spells to gather the Thunder Sword.
Shi Chun hastily flew a bit away, raising his head to watch and cast spells for preparation.
When the colossal Thunder Sword took shape and struck Shi Chun, Wu Jinliang's brow furrowed several times, and then tightly furrowed, appearing deeply troubled and thoughtful.
As the thunder crashed, the illusion-like hazy Green Lotus glow enveloping Shi Chun reappeared, with petals seeming to unfold again.
With the disappearance of the Thunder Sword, Shi Chun exhaled slowly, eyes flashing with joy, finally fulfilling the risk and painstaking efforts of recent days.
A breakthrough, his cultivation reached the Human Immortal Great Success Realm!
Yet now was not the time for happiness. He cupped his hands towards Li Hongjiu, signaling to wait, then swiftly dashed to the island below.
This was habitual for Li Hongjiu, knowing each strike required Shi Chun to calmly comprehend each time.
His eyes fell on Wu Jinliang, finding the giant still amidst mana fluctuations.
Entering the cave, Shi Chun sat beside the Demon Cultivator once more, casting spells to extract, discovering a qualitative leap in both absorption speed and capacity for Demon Essence.
After absorbing to his limit again, he realized something amiss. Compared to before, when he could absorb the Heavenly Immortal Realm's Demon Essence a hundred times, now, at the Human Immortal Great Success Realm, he could only absorb approximately three times, including the last absorption.
Indeed, he could now absorb the Heavenly Immortal Realm's Demon Essence only twice more.
It wasn't incomprehensible, having noticed this issue while enhancing his absorption of Demon Essence.
Clearing his mind, he swiftly exited the cave and flew into the sky.
Li Hongjiu was adept by now, no need for unnecessary talk. One glance between them, another round began.
As the awe-inspiring Thunder Sword struck again, Shi Chun landed on the island below. Li Hongjiu's eyes suddenly focused on Wu Jinliang, astonished at noticing occasional small arcs of lightning spontaneously twitch across Wu Jinliang's body.
