Chapter 744: True Salvation Is Self-Rescue (2)
The wizard said, “32 generations.” Without the mask covering, the expression on the wizard’s face while speaking evoked a terrifying feeling of discomfort.
But Xu Xingguang did not feel sick or afraid.
She was full of respect for the wizard.
To guard Granny Feng’s prophecy, and to wait for the light that could save their people, these 32 people sacrificed everything they had.
Xu Xingguang caressed the shard in her hand, sensing a strong obsession within it, perhaps Granny Feng’s deep-seated desire.
“Wizard, you shouldn’t pin all hopes of saving the Green Blood People solely on me. I can lead you into battle, but whether you can be used as a sharp blade depends on your people’s performance.”
The wizard solemnly nodded, “Miss Xu is right.”
“Starting from today.” Xu Xingguang stood up, and the light fell on her head, truly giving off a sense of a savior’s destiny.
Xu Xingguang gazed at the wizard, speaking earnestly, “Let your people walk out, go to various alliances, and learn as much knowledge as possible. Battle knowledge, technological knowledge, medical, and managerial knowledge, learn whatever you can.”
The wizard furrowed his brows tightly, pondering the purpose behind her words.
“Rescuing a tiger locked in a circus cage isn’t as simple as opening the cage and letting it run back into the forest.” Xu Xingguang patiently continued to enlighten the wizard, “To truly save the tiger, unlocking the cage is just the first step. Train it to regain its wild nature, learn hunting methods, and adapt to the laws of the jungle. Let it return to the forest and become the king of beasts; that is the true path to salvation.”
“Similarly, saving the Green Blood People isn’t a matter of just winning a battle and gaining a piece of land.”
“You cannot remain in self-imposed isolation; you need to go out, learn to integrate into this world, strive to become an important part of it. The day when your people are deeply involved in various sectors and can no longer be casually discarded like carrion by this world will be the day the Green Blood People are truly saved.”
These words from you are worth more than reading for ten years.
The wizard suddenly realized, stood up, and sincerely bowed to Xu Xingguang. “Miss Xu, your teachings today have enlightened me. Thank you.”
Seeing the wizard understand her well-intentioned counsel, Xu Xingguang also felt relieved.
She stroked the shard with her fingertip, sensing something within it, and then gently closed her eyes.
She tried to sense the shard.
When her consciousness calmed down, she found her mind entering into an unfamiliar Otherworld.
It was an Otherworld with a cultivation system. As an observer, she watched a woman with the surname Feng’s entire life as if watching a movie.
This girl was born as the daughter of the City Lord Mansion in Fengxue City. At a young age, she was tested and found to possess a Water Single Spirit Root and was sent to a Major Sect to learn cultivation and prophecy technique.
Her life before the age of 25 could be described as astonishingly smooth.
But at 25, she encountered a man and ultimately couldn’t resist his courtship, married him, and had children. When the child was ten, she lost her husband in a great battle to protect the world’s beings.
Obsessed with reviving her husband, she stayed in that world for five hundred years, until her cultivation was depleted and her soul withered away.
As soon as the woman with the surname Feng died, Xu Xingguang’s consciousness was ejected back to the real world.
She raised the shard in her hand, knowing what was going on.
When the Reincarnation Mirror descended into their world, due to energy disturbance, it simultaneously chose Xu Xingguang and Granny Feng from different time spaces. And Granny Feng failed to pass her first reincarnation, becoming trapped in love.
Granny Feng, having failed in reincarnation and feeling guilty, proactively went to the Ancient Xia Country to see Divine Hidden Crane, revealing the truth about Lin Piaopiao’s identity.
The Green Blood Clan’s wizards’ lineage was also a support she left in the Divine Martial Realm for Xu Xingguang.
As for the phrase “When the hurricane descends into the sea and the Emperor’s Mausoleum opens, the black meteor appears and the emperor returns,” it was a prophecy she deliberately left for He Yuanhang and the loyal followers of the Divine Hidden Emperor.
Supported by the power of this prophecy, He Yuanhang endured solitude, constantly sleeping and awakening, just to prepare for the return of the Divine Hidden Emperor to rectify the ailing Divine Martial Realm.
At the moment Xu Xingguang understood the truth of the shard, it fulfilled Granny Feng’s obsession and vanished into light.
Xu Xingguang quickly calmed her emotions, obtained blood samples from the wizard and other Green Blood People, and hurriedly returned to the Cattle Hump Mountain Range.

Early the next morning, Dongfang Yi slipped a bag of nutrients into his backpack, wore the metal straps Xu Xingguang prepared for him, and rode a flying balance car to the jungle waterfall for training.
Following the method taught by Xu Xingguang, he stood on a smooth mossy rock and practiced horse stance.
Before Xu Xingguang left, she instructed him to practice well and maintain the horse stance for two hours every day. She would inspect his training results upon her return.
In less than half a month, Dongfang Yi progressed from initially struggling for half an hour to now lasting an hour before starting to feel fatigued, a truly remarkable improvement.
Every morning after holding the horse stance, Dongfang Yi felt as if he had lost half his life, but after a good night’s sleep, he discovered a strange warm current within himself each morning. That warm current made his body feel much lighter, and the heavy chains underfoot felt almost non-existent.
He knew this method was effective, and by persisting, his stagnant Ancient Martial Arts skill would definitely make a breakthrough.
Therefore, he did not dare to slack off and trained diligently every day.
An hour passed, Dongfang Yi’s forehead began to sweat, and his legs felt sore and weak.
He considered giving up.
But whenever the thought of ‘giving up’ arose, images of his father being chastised and humiliated by the Family Head in the main house in Emperor City would flash in his mind.
He couldn’t give up!
He needed to master Ancient Martial Arts, to become a strong individual not inferior to superpowers, and to establish another Dongfang Family with his parents and sister!
With this thought in mind, Dongfang Yi’s heart remained steadfast as a rock. He tried to empty his mind and focus on other things.
Unknowingly, Dongfang Yi plunged into deep meditation, forgotten about physical fatigue, and entered into a subtle state.
Xu Xingguang arrived by the river and saw Dongfang Yi standing on the mossy rock. Although his legs were visibly trembling from exhaustion, he maintained a calm and serene expression, causing the corners of her lips to gently curve upwards.
She indeed did not mistake it; this young lad, Dongfang Yi, possessed the martial talent of his Old Ancestor, Dongfang Jing.
