Chapter 412: Engraved Stone (II)
Yi Mountain City was constructed around Mount Lingqiu, a once majestic and renowned peak. It used to blaze with flames in ancient times and produced a type of golden spirit ore mined extensively by an immortal sect known as the Southern Fire Heavenly Mansion. As a result of this, the earth veins became thinner, and the mountain eventually stopped burning.
At the highest cave dwelling atop the mountain, shrouded in clouds and swirling green fog, Daoist Master Yuan Su stood, playing with a light golden jade seal. He gazed down at the grand city below him.
"Buzi must have lost his mind… He wanders Wu and Yue States day and night, refusing to return to the sect. Thankfully, the devil plague is progressing well..." he murmured.
Daoist Master Yuan Su hailed from the same era as Chi Wei. Unfortunately, he practiced a cultivation method that prematurely ended his progress, confining him to the early stages of the Purple Mansion Realm. If not for the fact that it was a life divine ability, Yuan Su might have lost all standing.
Disillusioned, especially with people like Si Boxiu, he decided to choose a quieter life, hence retreating to the southern border.
"Hm?"
Yuan Su paused, sensing the surge of golden aura at the foot of the mountain.
"Someone's establishing a Dao foundation... it's the Engraved Stone…" he mumbled to himself.
He calculated silently; the one from Golden Tang Gate had not moved in ages but he still lived. If memory served, his divine ability was incomplete.
