Chapter 218 Third Brother and the Source Heaven Technique Earthworm [Please Subscribe]

Jiang Taixu was filled with helplessness and speechlessness.

How come this young man climbs up the pole so naturally, without any sense of incongruity...?

Is calling him Xiao Jiang a little inappropriate?

"Ahem... We can... be friends of the same generation... I will remember your saving me today... I wish to become... sworn brothers with you..."

Jiang Taixu exerted a great deal of effort to finish speaking, each word seeming to be squeezed out from his extremely weak body.

He wanted to take Lu Xian as his sworn brother, the kind of friendship that transcends age, so that before he died, he could rightfully pass on the ancient scriptures of the Jiang family to him, and with his connection to Lu Xian, he would also gain the friendship of the Jiang family in the future.

"Sworn brotherhood?"

Lu Xian pondered for a moment. Jiang Taixu was indeed a good person and worth getting to know. Moreover, when he was trapped in Zishan, he had received guidance from Gu Tianshu and had already reached the threshold of the Saint Realm.

If we could become sworn brothers with him, it would indeed be much more convenient to get things done in the Big Dipper in the future, especially in the early stages of the Shrouding the Heavens universe when there were very few saints. Having a powerful figure like Jiang Taixu as a brother would be enough to intimidate everyone.

"I don't want to be born in the same year...in the same month and on the same day..."

"I only hope...to be born in the same year as you..."

"Hey! Stop!" Lu Xian was startled and quickly banged on the stone wall to stop Jiang Taixu from continuing. "Sworn brotherhood is fine, but we can't die on the same day!"

Jiang Taixu: ...

Seeing that Jiang Taixu remained silent, Lu Xian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his casual smile returned to his face: "Since Little Jiang wishes to befriend someone of the same generation and become sworn brothers..."

Jiang Taixu: ?

"I, Lu Xian, am naturally more than happy to oblige. From this day forward, you will be my third brother!"

Jiang Taixu: ?

"Third brother, your elder brother will rescue you now..."

"etc!"

Jiang Taixu, with a surge of strength from who knows where, raised his voice several decibels, his mind filled with a torrent of complaints.

Unfortunately, she was too weak to say much. After struggling for a while, she finally managed to squeeze out, "It's just the two of us... why... do I have to be third?"

"Oh! You mean this?"

Lu Xian waved his hand dismissively, as if it were no big deal at all. "It's alright. Actually, I have a sworn brother."

Jiang Taixu: ? ? ?

Jiang Taixu was internally devastated.

Maybe you shouldn't save me at all, just let me rot here...

He wasn't actually against Lu Xian being the eldest brother. After all, in the cultivation world, the strong are respected and the accomplished are prioritized. Just based on Lu Xian's amazing ability to make all the ancient ancestral kings of Zishan bow their heads, Jiang Taixu admitted that he couldn't do it and admired him from the bottom of his heart.

But the question is, where is the second brother?

Lu Xian is so young, his second brother must not be too old either. He might just be an inexperienced young man. Could he be the kid that Lu Xian just took into the tower?

If he really called that kid "Second Brother," Jiang Taixu would be too ashamed to accept it!

"You... second brother... is the person... who was with you just now?" Jiang Taixu asked cautiously.

If that's true, he felt it was best to abandon the sworn brotherhood agreement and reconsider it carefully, then find another opportunity to repay Lu Xian's life-saving grace in the future.

Lu Xian quickly shook his head: "You mean Ye Hei? That cowardly bastard, how could he be worthy of being my second brother? Just a verbal friend! My real second brother is currently at a crucial juncture in her cultivation breakthrough. She's over a thousand years old, and she's incredibly bold and lawless. She's also very straightforward and outspoken. If there's a chance another day, Third Brother, I'll definitely introduce you to her. You'll definitely like her personality."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Taixu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Over a thousand years old, incredibly bold, lawless, and with a generous and forthright personality—he sounds like a powerful and magnanimous figure in the cultivation world!

Jiang Taixu has always enjoyed making friends, and he wouldn't look down on experts at the first or second level of the Immortal Realm, especially since Lu Xian's influence is also a factor.

Since I arrived a step late, I might as well be third in line!

After all, he's over a thousand years old. As long as my second brother isn't a greenhorn like Ye Fan, it'll be fine.

"Big...Brother!" Jiang Taixu called out weakly.

Lu Xian's heart broke when he heard Jiang Taixu call out "Big Brother" so weakly.

Without hesitation, the Suppressing God Tower shone brightly, the Devouring Demon Canopy emitted an eerie black light, and the Xuanhuang Sword, formed from the Martial Soul, gleamed with sharp sword energy. The three powerful techniques were unleashed simultaneously, slicing through the stone wall with a clang.

"Don't worry, Third Brother, I'll get you out of here right away!"

Lu Xian's gaze was firm, and his tone was full of unquestionable determination and sincerity. His voice echoed in the dim mine, causing a warm current to surge in Jiang Taixu's heart, and he couldn't help but be moved.

Look, this is the eldest brother I, Jiang Taixu, just recognized—his loyalty is unparalleled!

Afterwards, Lu Xian devoted himself to the operation to rescue Jiang Taixu, which was no easy task and took him a full two and a half hours.

Cutting Jiang Taixu out of the Zishan cliff was easy; the main problem was that removing the stone skin that was tightly attached to Jiang Taixu took too much time.

His body was almost entirely withered, his eye sockets were sunken, his ribs were skeletal, his legs were as thin as sticks, and he was emaciated, as if he had no flesh or blood on his body. He looked no better than a skeleton.

His long, gray hair was longer than his body, trailing behind his emaciated frame and reaching the ground, making him look utterly miserable.

Upon seeing this, Lu Xian quickly took out a palm-sized jade bottle filled with divine spring water.

He brought the bottle to Jiang Taixu's lips: "Third brother, let's drink to our hearts' content, down it in one gulp, drink it quickly!"

Jiang Taixu initially thought it was wine, but upon tasting it, he discovered that this crystal-clear water was not as ordinary as it appeared. The immense life essence contained within it surged through his body like a raging torrent.

As a result, his extremely weak body was unable to absorb any nourishment and began to expel vital energy everywhere.

Lu Xian then took out a fist-sized piece of divine energy and handed it to Jiang Taixu, saying, "I don't know if this divine energy will be of any help to you. Hold it for now and slowly absorb its essence to nourish yourself. Go to the tower for a while, and I'll take you away from here."

After saying that, the Suppressing God Tower trembled slightly, casting a soft light curtain that instantly absorbed Jiang Taixu.

"Woof!"

At this moment, a loud bark came from outside the mine. Black Emperor peeked in. In the past, it would not have dared to rampage so recklessly in Purple Mountain, for fear of being killed by the Primordial Ancestor King. After all, even the Wushi Bell could not save a dog that was courting death.

But today is different. Thanks to Lu Xian, all the ancient ancestral kings have gone into hiding, and their underlings have all been summoned away. This area is empty, with only Lu Xian, this devil, remaining in the human world.

It had a smooth journey!

"Take me with you, take me with you!" Black Emperor shouted as he ran.

Lu Xian looked at the black dog that ran in, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. Others train eagles, but he trains dogs directly. See, with this stimulation, the dog's temperament has been tempered down quite a bit.

"Go in yourself!" Lu Xian commanded in a cold tone.

Before the words were even finished, the Tower of Suppression flew out with a "whoosh," once again casting a curtain of light.

Seeing this, the Black Emperor hesitated for a moment, but in the end, it tucked its tail between its legs and reluctantly ran into the light curtain, where it was successfully taken in by the Tower of Suppression.

Lu Xian spent some time finding the way he came, quickly broke through the stone wall, and swaggered out of Zishan along the same path he had come in.

A moment later.

A dazzling white rainbow shot out from a dragon vein like a meteor, soaring straight up into the heavens.

As the rainbow faded, Lu Xian, dressed in a white robe that rustled loudly, stood proudly high in the sky, gazing at a stone village in the distant oasis.

"It's time to cut open those stone artifacts left behind by the former Source Master Zhang Lin. I remember there's a stone gall among them, which is a real treasure that can help me cultivate the Divine Eye in the Source Heaven Divine Awareness!" Lu Xian thought to himself.

As for what Ye Fan will use after he uses the stone gall?

joke!

If Ye Fan were to cultivate the Origin Heaven Divine Eye, wouldn't this X-ray vision maniac give him a terrible headache?

With so many beautiful wives and concubines at home, Lu Xian couldn't bear the thought of one of them being seen through by the unscrupulous Ye Hei.

After all, there's an old saying that goes, "There's no such thing as a thousand days of guarding against thieves if you're a thief for a thousand days."

This X-ray vision maniac is beyond your control, Ye Fan. Let me, Lu Xian, take the place!

The Suppressing God Tower hanging above Lu Xian's head trembled slightly at this moment, and Ye Fan and the Black Emperor were spat out.

Ye Fan reacted extremely quickly. The moment he realized his body was falling rapidly, he immediately used his supernatural power to ride the rainbow and stop steadily in mid-air.

Black King was in trouble. After a moment of stunned silence, its four legs slid wildly through the air as it plummeted downwards, its mournful barks echoing across the sky.

Lu Xian swooped down, grabbed the Black Emperor by the back of the neck, and tossed him to Ye Fan. The two then flew rapidly toward the Stone Village.

"Brother Lu, now that the matter at Zishan is settled, what are your plans next?" Ye Fan asked with a grin, holding the Black Emperor upside down by its hind legs and swinging it around in the air, even making a large windmill motion.

Lu Xian pondered for a moment, then slowly said:

"Next, I plan to take a trip to the divine city."

(Even Dong Ge himself can't distinguish between the Holy City and the Divine City. He's gotten the name of this city wrong many times, using both "Holy City" and "Divine City" back and forth. Let's just call it "Divine City" in this book.)

"With the Ancestral King's intervention, the Boundless Bell rang three times in succession, creating a great commotion. Presumably, the Divine City has already attracted many young geniuses to gather here. The plan can be said to be progressing steadily."

"However, before going to the Divine City, I plan to thoroughly practice the seven or eight supernatural abilities recorded in the Source Book and make some preparations."

Both of them were very fast on their rainbows, and in just a few words, they had already landed in the stone village.

This stone village is very simple and monotonous; almost all the utensils are made of stone.

Moreover, even the foundations of those houses were carefully built with stones.

These seemingly ordinary and inconspicuous farming tools are the divine treasures left to future generations by the legendary Master Zhang Lin.

Lu Xian did not intend to start cutting these stone tools immediately, as the workload was too great. He needed to first practice the supernatural powers of the Source Book, especially the Source Heaven Divine Sense, which was his main focus for this practice.

Lu Xian and Ye Fan stayed in Purple Mountain for three or four days, while Xiao Yan was naturally no longer there.

At this moment, an old man came forward to greet them; he was none other than Master Zhang.

"Young friend Ye, you actually came out of Purple Mountain unharmed!" Master Zhang exclaimed in amazement, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"It's all thanks to Brother Lu," Ye Fan said humbly with a smile.

After saying that, he took out the Origin Book and continued, "This trip to Purple Mountain was truly fraught with danger. We encountered countless ancient ferocious beasts, but fortunately, Brother Lu was there to protect us. Those ancient ferocious beasts were as vulnerable as clay chickens and earthen dogs in front of him. I have also lived up to my mission and successfully retrieved the relics of your ancestor, Fifth Master."

With trembling hands, Master Zhang accepted the Book of Origin, his eyes instantly reddening as his thoughts drifted back to a distant past.

He had longed for it countless times in his dreams, but never dared to truly hope that he would be able to see the Yuan Tian Shu return to the Zhang family in his lifetime.

Overwhelmed with emotion and gratitude, Zhang Wuye was about to kneel down to thank Ye Fan when Ye Fan, quick-witted and agile, reached out and stopped him.

The three then sat under an old tree in the stone village and chatted amicably. After some conversation, they had gained a certain understanding of each other.

As in the original story, Zhang Wuye ultimately decided to entrust the Source Book to Ye Fan for safekeeping.

Lu Xian was not surprised by this. Seeing that the two were chatting happily, he did not want to disturb them any longer. Then he rode the rainbow to the top of a mountain next to the stone village, sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, and began to cultivate.

Lu Xian's understanding of the Origin Book is currently only at the theoretical level. He can be considered a top expert in theory, but he still needs some practice and familiarization to truly master the Origin Techniques.

The Book of Origin records many Origin Techniques and Supernatural Abilities, each with unique and practical effects.

"Original Heavenly Divine Awakening," "Six Forbidden Immortal Seals," "Substitute Fate Technique," "Changing Heaven and Earth," "Earth Vein Dragon Transformation Technique," "Turning Stone into Gold Hand," and "The Method of Observing the Situation."

Origin Heaven Divine Insight: It can dispel all illusions and see through the hidden origins of all things. Once a cultivator masters it, it is as if they have the eye to see through illusions, and can clearly see the essence of all things in the world. As cultivation deepens, this divine power can evolve into the more powerful Origin Heaven Immortal Eye in the later stages.

Turning Stone into Gold: When used, it releases a dazzling golden light through the fingers, striking stones according to a specific pattern. By judging the value of the treasures hidden inside the stone based on the sound it makes, it is an indispensable and important means of appraising rare treasures such as divine sources.

These two Origin Techniques are the ones Lu Xian has chosen to focus on cultivating, since he wants to cut into the stone artifact treasure left by Origin Master Zhang Lin, and these two Origin Techniques are indispensable.

"The Origin Heaven Divine Awareness is the most crucial; let's start by practicing that..."

Lu Xian silently recalled the records about the Origin Heaven Divine Awareness in the Origin Heaven Book, then calmed down and began to concentrate on comprehending and cultivating.

"In the beginning of time, the Dao established itself as one, creating and dividing heaven and earth, and transforming into all things. Therefore, the method of the source of heaven is to respond to the Qi, which is received by the six senses, thus approaching the Dao!"

As Lu Xian silently recited and comprehended, the divine power within his body naturally flowed towards his eyes, transforming into a special kind of energy. Many intricate and delicate meridians were connected one by one, and white flames began to leap and flicker in his slightly closed eyes. The light was exceptionally intense, almost piercing through his eyelids.

"The Art of Origin Heaven begins with the form of Heaven and Earth, then with the form of mountains and rocks. It can move mountains and seas, shift stars and change constellations. All things in the world are rooted in the eyes. The black pupil belongs to Yin, and the white pupil belongs to Yang. When Yin and Yang combine and transform, Origin Heaven is formed!"

"Gen Ten Divine Awakening!"

"open!"

Lu Xian suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils as clear as jewels and glass, his eyes sparkling with starlight, as if they contained all things in the world, the alternation of yin and yang. At this moment, the world became different in his eyes.

He seemed to see through the fog, the essence of the world, the veins of the rocks beneath him, the rings of the ancient tree in the stone village below, and even Ye Hei's red underwear—who was having a pleasant conversation with Master Zhang under the ancient tree.

"Damn, it's the size of an earthworm!"

"This is truly an eyesore!"
