Chapter 10

This World’s First Cultivation Realm! Descending the Mountain! Searching for My Wife!

【Boundless demonic power surged from the Hundred-Headed Demon’s entire body. Although it was seriously injured, this did not affect its release of demonic power at all.】

【You met its gaze with cold eyes.】

【Arcane Art! Cave Heaven Eye!!!】

【An invisible momentum surged from your eyes straight into the clouds. Everything in front of you seemed to become clear, and you could see the scene ahead more clearly… capture the opponent’s movements more clearly.】

【It seemed that you could see through all the secrets of the universe.】

【”Arcane art?” The Hundred-Headed Demon’s expression changed slightly. Sensing the momentum erupting from the person in front of it, it already knew that he was no longer the mortal who couldn’t even attack its demon form back then.】

【The Hundred-Headed Demon revealed its demon form. Its body suddenly swelled several times in size, and terrified faces appeared on its plant-like shell.】

【Cave Heaven Eye saw through the opponent’s weakness.】

【Its weakness was the demon heart in its chest.】

【You raised your hand.】

【”Heavenly Stem Five Thunders—”】

【A flash of lightning appeared like a thunderclap on flat ground, and a silvery-white scorching thunder light flickered in your hand.】

【Cave Heaven Eye accurately found the opponent’s movement trajectory, and this thunder light went straight through the Hundred-Headed Demon’s chest.】

【Disgusting liquid exploded from the Hundred-Headed Demon’s chest, falling to the ground and forming pale green blood foam that corroded the soil.】

【More than ten years of cultivation in the Celestial Master’s Mansion was not in vain.】

【Moreover, you have mastered more than four arcane arts. The Hundred-Headed Demon was seriously injured and underestimated you, how could it be your opponent?】

【A clean and swift kill.】

【A warm current surged within your body, but you don’t know what it is.】

【You find a trembling child here, who must have witnessed everything.】

【Seeing that the Hundred-Headed Demon was no longer moving and that you were about to leave, he immediately rushed out, prostrated himself, and kowtowed to the gravel-covered ground, “Immortal, you… don’t go… I want to become your disciple.”】

【”My mother said I’m very capable. I’ve been working in the fields since I was very young. I have great strength, and I’m willing to be your ox or horse.” He introduced himself incoherently, wanting to gain your pity.】

【Seeing the blood flowing on his face, you know that if you leave now, in this empty and desolate village, it would be very difficult for him to survive.】

【You already have the idea of establishing a sect. Now that there is a pitiful person with a clean background, it is also an option.】

【And you don’t have many requirements for disciples.】

【Teach without discrimination, regardless of aptitude. However, since you are taking him as your disciple, you must also teach him the principles of being a human.】

【You take him away.】

【Not long after, several people come to this place together. They look at the corpse of the Hundred-Headed Demon on the ground. The leader’s face is somewhat gloomy. He squats down and examines the Hundred-Headed Demon’s body, “Take its demon body away.”】

【”After raising it for so long, its merits were actually snatched away by someone else.” He stood up and said through gritted teeth.】

【”Heavenly Stem Five Thunders…”】

【”The people of Longhu Mountain would also do things like snatching merits?”】

【You leave the village, followed by a somewhat gloomy child.】

【You asked his name, and he said he didn’t have one, only that his surname was Xu and he had the lowly name of Ah Niu.】

【His father gave him this lowly name, hoping that he would have a strong body like an ox and be able to help the family with work better.】

【After much consideration, you decide to give him a name.】

【”From now on, your name will be Xu Qingyun.”】

【”Travel through the blue clouds and roam freely, suddenly overlooking your old hometown.” You said leisurely, “Qingyun is taken from this.”】

【Xu Qingyun doesn’t understand the meaning of this poem, nor the meaning within, but only knows that from now on, he has a name and a master.】

【He asks curiously, “Master, are you an immortal?”】

【”I am not.” You shook your head, “My name is Gu Jiangming, and I am just an ordinary mortal. I just have a bit more ambition than ordinary people and know some spells.”】

【”The sect I belong to is called Mount Shu. This is the sect I just planned to establish, and you are my first disciple.”】

【”Also my eldest disciple.”】

【He asks curiously, “Then what will our Mount Shu do?”】

【”When poor, maintain self-integrity; when successful, help the world.” Gu Jiangming walked ahead, “Simply put, when you are incapable, do your part well; when you are capable, help the world and bring peace to the people.”】

【”Just like how I saved you.”】

【”From today onwards, you will cultivate with me.”】

【You take Xu Qingyun to the land of Chuan Shu. Here, you find a clear and elegant mountain and build a Daoist temple there.】

【The plaque of Mount Shu is hung high above the Daoist temple.】

【For three years, you teach Xu Qingyun how to be self-reliant on the mountain, tell him the mental cultivation method of “Facing the Heavenly Palace”, and also teach him the principle of ‘don’t dismiss small acts of kindness, don’t commit small acts of evil’.】

【Under your careful guidance, Xu Qingyun slowly begins to try to master the ‘momentum’ in the world and learn the arcane arts of Mount Shu.】

【In the fourth year, seeing that Xu Qingyun has the ability to be independent, you go down the mountain to search for your missing wife, Jiujiu.】

【During this period of cultivation on the mountain, your understanding of arcane arts has deepened, and your thinking about ‘momentum’, ‘Qi’, and ‘spells’ has entered a new stage.】

【You believe that without a strong physique, it is impossible to flexibly use arcane arts and divine abilities related to ‘momentum’, ‘Qi’, and ‘spells’.】

【Therefore, before cultivating arcane arts, disciples need to undergo long-term physical training and tempering.】

【Thus, you call the stage of cultivating the physical body to a certain strength until it can accept ‘momentum’, ‘Qi’, and ‘spells’ the Body Tempering stage.】

【From this, this world has its first detailed cultivation realm.】

【Unfortunately… your first year down the mountain is fruitless. But on your journey, you save many people from evil demons. You never leave your name, only the two words ‘Mount Shu’.】

【Finally, the name of Mount Shu appeared in the human world for the first time.】

And in another place…

Jiujiu stared at the scene in her mind, playing with her delicate and lovely daughter.

It usually takes a very long time for demons to conceive a child, but the Guhuo Bird is no different from ordinary people in this regard.

Before leaving Gu Jiangming, she left herself a memento, adding a daughter to herself in the reincarnation.

Of course, the feeling of having a daughter through the screen was also very strange.

But this didn’t affect her love for her daughter at all.

As for her name, Jiujiu thought for a long time and finally decided to name her—【Gu Mingyue】.

People have sorrow and joy, separation and reunion; the moon has its waxing and waning.

Hoping that she would always have a beautiful side like the bright moon, that was probably the meaning.

Looking at her daughter, who looked 80% like her, Jiujiu was already thinking about how she would raise this daughter next.

So fun, so lovely.
