The sun and moon are both wrong; who made him seek the Dharma?

Chapter 6: Ancestor Jiang Mingzi was truly an honest and kind person.

Under the blazing sun, the biting wind, thousands of meters in the air, was like countless invisible steel blades, frantically scraping against the flying carpet formed by the reel.

In the sky, Xia Chuan sat cross-legged on the flying carpet as steadily as Mount Tai, not even a single strand of her hair was blown out of shape.

Facing the blinding sunlight, he looked at Gao Haoguang beside him, whose hair was being blown about by the wind and looked like a bird's nest, and asked curiously:

"What exactly did the patriarch say to you just now?"

Is this considered our reward?

Gao Haoguang gripped the edge of the reel tightly, his knuckles turning bluish-white. His tone was extremely resentful, and he practically spat out the words through gritted teeth:

"That bastard said, 'I want to get stronger, and you want to spar with me.'"

"Why not just engage in a life-or-death battle with a Nirvana Corpse? That would kill two birds with one stone!"

Gao Haoguang had already made a vicious decision in his heart:

Once I return alive, I will definitely make all of Jiang Mingzi's diary public.

Even if it means hiring a storyteller to read in a teahouse every day, I will make sure that unscrupulous patriarch who tricked me is utterly disgraced!

Not only that, he also devoted a lot of time in his daily diary to denouncing Jiang Mingzi's immoral behavior and to burying more underground blind boxes for future generations.

Do you still want to be remembered for eternity and admired by all?

Keep dreaming!

This bastard will record your infamy in history books for the rest of your life!

Unexpectedly, after hearing this complaint, Xia Chuan was not angry at all; instead, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Fighting a Nirvana Corpse?"

"That's great!"

Gao Haoguang: ? ? ?

Before he could speak, the Three True Moon Token at his waist was activated unilaterally once again, rippling out a layer of golden waves like water.

"Hey, look at this scenery! Haven't you arrived yet?"

Jiang Mingzi looked at the two of them with a mischievous grin.

Don't make that face.

"It took this immortal lord quite a bit of effort to capture both you and your senior brother."

Gao Haoguang was so angry that he trembled all over and started cursing:

"Turtle Immortal Lord!"

"Where exactly are you taking us?"

Jiang Mingzi nonchalantly waved her folding fan:

"It's near the Nirvana Corpse that used to be my enemy."

Gao Haoguang: ? ? ?

Gao Haoguang's expression froze instantly. He stared at Jiang Mingzi in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost, and his voice even changed tone:

"Are you kidding me?! You bastard ancestor!"

"A monster capable of fighting someone your level wouldn't just turn us to ashes with a single breath, would it?!"

Jiang Mingzi closed his folding fan, waved his hand, and the playful expression on his face disappeared:

"Of course we won't let you go and die in vain."

"The scroll records and leads you to find those Nirvana Corpses who were once my enemies and whom I marked with the mark of pursuit."

"Back then, in order to avoid my sharp edge, they used various underhanded means such as self-sealing, voluntary suicide, and faking their deaths to survive my lifespan."

Only in your time do you dare to revive and be reborn.

"Due to the erosion of the long years, their innate supernatural abilities and enormous magical power have long since been reduced to almost nothing."

"It is currently in its weakest phase, making it the perfect vessel for your trials."

Hearing this, Gao Haoguang's heart, which had been in his throat, finally calmed down a little.

If less than one in a hundred survives, with my senior brother's monstrous combat power, it seems... we can still put up a fight?

He swallowed hard, still somewhat uncertain and hesitant, and asked:

"But even so, a wrecked ship still has three pounds of nails."

What if there are also enemies among them that we couldn't defeat even if we fought with all our might?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mingzi suddenly threw his head back and laughed heartily.

"Well, I don't know."

"If we really can't win,"

The immortal's tone was as cold as frost:

"It can only be said that the same month's ruling star chose the wrong people; you are destined to die there."

You cannot bear the destiny bestowed upon the Three Truths.

Upon hearing this, Gao Haoguang's expression hardened, and an indescribable chill ran down his spine.

Jiang Mingzi looked at the pale-faced little gray cub, his expression softened slightly, and he regained his carefree smile:

"Keep it up, Gray."

Don't embarrass this immortal lord.

As soon as he finished speaking, the phantom vanished.

The long, rolled-up blanket, which had been flying steadily and at high speed through the clouds, suddenly seemed to lose all power and its speed decreased sharply.

Then, in a breathtaking feeling of weightlessness, the two of them plummeted straight down like shooting stars!

"Aaaaaahh ...

Accompanied by Gao Haoguang's extremely tragic screams, the strong wind from the rapid fall blew the vegetation below into disarray.

It was a vast bamboo forest in late autumn.

Under the blazing sun, dazzling sunlight pierced through the gaps in the lush, towering bamboo leaves, transforming into countless golden beams that poured down, illuminating the bamboo grove with dappled light and exuding a tranquil vitality.

"boom!"

Just before the reel hit the ground, it scooped up a strong airflow as a buffer, and a wave of dry leaves and dust surged violently in all directions.

The two landed safely without any serious injury.

Gao Haoguang scrambled to his feet, coughing frantically to clear away the choking smoke and dust, while cautiously looking around.

"Cough cough cough... Where was this thrown?"

Xia Chuan calmly dusted off his clothes, glanced up at the sun's position and the surrounding terrain, and stroked his chin as he analyzed:

"Judging from the time we flew and the position of the sun, we should be near the territory of Xuzhou Prefecture."

Gao Haoguang gasped in surprise: "Xuzhou Prefecture?"

It's only been a quarter of an hour, and it's already flown this far?

Thinking of this, Gao Haoguang looked at the scroll in his hand.

The Eight Immortals are truly unfathomable.

This was the first time he had ever seen a spell that could work on his senior brother.

Seeing Xia Chuan looking around, Gao Haoguang suddenly had an idea.

If he could understand the spells inscribed here...

Then wouldn't that mean I could summon my senior brother anytime, anywhere?

Pulling your senior brother over, or pulling him over yourself, is much more effective than any great supernatural power or talisman.

Xia Chuan frowned: "What unpleasant things are you thinking about?"

Forgot, his intuition is also extremely sharp.

Gao Haoguang calmly put away the reel, a smirk playing on his lips.

This plan needs to be implemented gradually.

Senior brother, it's not that I want to scheme against you.

It was the Turtle Immortal who plotted against you!

If he hadn't given me this reel, would I have had this idea?

Gao Haoguang quickly pointed to the village at the foot of the mountain, changing the subject:

"Senior brother, look, there's a village at the foot of the mountain."

He pretended to rub his sore shoulders and suggested:

"We've been blowing in the sky for half the day, why don't we just stay there for the night?"

"I can also ask a few villagers if they know anything about any strange rumors surrounding the Nirvana Corpse."

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuan did not follow his junior brother's gaze to look at the bustling village. Instead, he seemed to sense something extremely interesting.

"No need."

He slowly straightened his towering, iron-tower-like body, and a dangerous yet excited smile gradually spread across his lips.

His sharp, knife-like gaze bypassed Gao Haoguang, pierced through the emerald bamboo swaying gently in the breeze, and locked onto the dark shadows ahead.

"No need to go down and ask."

"The Nirvana corpses you're looking for... they're everywhere on this mountain."

Gao Haoguang was stunned for a moment, and the hairs on his body stood on end instantly.

Before the words were even finished, a sickening rustling sound suddenly came from the originally peaceful bamboo forest.

It was as if the gates of hell had been quietly pushed open in the sunlight.

Behind the lush bamboo stalks, amidst a thick pile of withered yellow leaves, a group of rotting corpses dressed in tattered clothes from a previous dynasty stood up unsteadily in a twisted posture.

Their pale, bloodshot, and cloudy eyes turned in unison, revealing an extreme thirst for the flesh and blood of the living, staring intently at Xia Chuan and his companion who had intruded into their territory.

However, Xia Chuan felt no fear whatsoever.

He squinted, carefully examining the group of Nirvana Corpses that were constantly approaching.

Their steps were unsteady and they walked slowly; they were just a bunch of ordinary corpses.

If Gao Haoguang can beat me, then isn't this my favorite kind of challenge—the challenge against someone of a higher level?

Xia Chuan beamed with joy, rubbing his hands together in anticipation:

"Wow, Master Jiang Mingzi is truly an honest and kind man!"
