Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 29 – murals
On a mountain ridge a few miles away, Yang Junshan was holding onto a little tiger cub as he watched the two huge beasts in the valley being skinned, tendons, and cut bones together by the youths. Because the little tiger cub was just born, although Yang Junshan could not see what was happening a few miles away, it seemed to be able to sense what was happening inside the valley.

Wailing after wail came out from the little tiger’s mouth, causing Yang Junshan to feel pity in his heart. He wanted to forcefully bring her away several times, but he just couldn’t do anything about it, he desperately wanted to stay. Fortunately, although the mountain ridge was empty, the cries of the little tiger couldn’t go too far.

When the two giant beasts were completely used up, perhaps because they were too tired, the little tiger cub finally calmed down in Yang Junshan’s arms.

It was already getting late, so Zhang Yueming and the rest rested for the night in the col. On the second day, Zhang Yueming seemed to have guessed the reason behind the mountain tiger turning around to arrive at the col, so he started to search everywhere in the col. He spent about half a day to find the mountain tiger lair on the cliff, but in the end, all of the youths returned disappointed.

Not long after the group of youths left the col, Yang Junshan brought the baby tiger back into the col. He buried the pile of ashes and made a mark with a big rock.

This cove was a secretive one to begin with, so if Yang Junshan and Yang Junshan had not been following the Treadmill bear, it would not be easy for Zhang Yueming to find this place even if he had the butterfly talisman in his hand. But now that Zhang Yueming and the rest had finished searching this place, it was unlikely for them to return to this place, so this col was extremely suitable for Yang Junshan to hide in for the next few days.

Carrying the little tiger back to the stone arena, Yang Junshan cleaned up the dirty air inside the cave and used some dry grass to make a comfortable cushion for the little tiger. Only then did Yang Junshan arrive in front of a stone wall on the west side of the cave.

The faint and peculiar aura within the cave came from above the stone wall, and the place where the mountain tiger resided in the cave was also below the stone wall. The grass that Yang Junshan had laid down for the little tiger was also in front of the stone wall, and this stone wall was the source of the demonic aura within the cave.

This piece of stone wall was around one Zhang high, and there were countless cracks under five feet. Perhaps it was because of the growth of the roots of the trees outside the cave, but the cracks were filled with mud.

However, if someone were to carefully observe the stone wall, they would discover that there were traces of mud on the wall because of the water seepage. However, there weren’t any cracks on the stone wall that were filled with mud.

Looking at the stone wall in front of him, Yang Junshan laughed complacently, a tinge of excitement showing on his face. He then grabbed a leaf and wiped off the mud on the stone wall.

As the dried mud splattered down, a mountain tiger with simple lines and a vivid outline appeared on the stone wall. The mountain tiger’s eyes were wide open in anger, its bloody mouth was half open, its forelimbs were slightly bent, and its body was slightly tilted backwards, as if it was ready to attack its prey at any time.

Yang Junshan continued to clean the mud stains on the stone wall, and behind the diagram, another three mountain Monarch’s murals with different figures were swept out. Although the four murals were different, the Monarch’s expressions on each and every one of the murals looked as if they were going to swallow them up, and suddenly, a fierce and oppressive aura came forth, as if the mountain Monarch on the stone wall was going to pounce at him at any time.

Yang Junshan continued to clean up the mud on the stone wall. Under the four sets of frescoes, four sets of mountain monarchs appeared very quickly, and these four sets of mountain monarchs were different from the ones above: The first four pictures were different, but the mountain monarchs’ expressions were all quite similar, and each of the mountain monarchs were aggressive and aggressive. The movements of the four mountain monarchs below were also different, but all of them had retracted their claws and fangs, giving them a majestic demeanor that allowed them to look down at everyone.

Each of them had four different sets of diagrams. When Yang Junshan had seen them in the cave earlier, they had given Yang Junshan a strong shock, and were even above the fact that he had obtained an upper rank immortal bear gallbladder.

From the perspective of the hundred year old Martial Realm Cultivator in Yang Junshan’s previous life, the Eight Mountains Monarch Painting was actually an extremely profound body tempering secret technique. Although Yang Junshan had never seen a high grade body tempering secret technique in his previous life, he knew a middle grade body tempering technique, “Earth Lie Fist”.

Although these eight body tempering diagrams depicted Mountain Lord, in reality, even humans and demons could train in them. After all, in the end, demon bodies still had to transform into humans, so the body tempering secret arts between humans and demons were basically interlinked. In fact, the body tempering secret arts created by humans were often used to imitate the movements of tyrannical beasts, such as the Wild Bull Fist.

The cultivator’s cultivation level was like the water in a water tank. The amount of cultivation level a cultivator could reach would not only depend on the size of the water tank, but also the toughness of the water tank. Otherwise, once the water tank burst, everything would be fine.

Therefore, regardless of rank, a body tempering secret technique was considered an extremely valuable existence in the cultivation world. Madame Yang was just a small hope, to have a low rank body tempering secret technique like Frenzied Bull’s Fist was already considered very valuable.

Even after dozens of years, when the great changes to heaven and earth occurred, and when all the various sects and clans were forced by the circumstances, they had no choice but to start exchanging techniques with each other, and a large portion of the techniques, techniques, divine abilities, and secret arts flowed towards the cultivation world. It was just like how it was for Yang Junshan at the time when he waigh order cultivator of the martial arts realm, it was already considered lucky to be able to obtain a set of middle grade Lying Fist.

As for the high grade body tempering technique, that was still a secret that was not passed down. According to Yang Junshan’s knowledge, in the entire Yuxian, only the Heaven-Shaken Sect had inherited a set of body tempering technique, and the training requirements were extremely harsh. Even so, the entire Heaven-Shaken Sect viewed it areasure.

From this, it could be seen how importanigh quality body tempering technique was to cultivators!

In his previous life, the world had turned into a disaster. Rumors had it in the cultivation world that after cultivators killed some of the stronger demon beasts, they would be able to find secret inheritance techniques or rare treasures that could help the demon beasts cultivate in their cave.

However, the origins of these secret techniques and treasures were often quite mysterious. Even when these demonic beasts took human form and became Demonic cultivators, they would keep their secrets to themselves and becomuge mystery in the cultivation world.

However, Yang Junshan understood that the powerful demon cultivators who owned the mysterious inheritances were usually the first to rise to prominence after the great change that had happened to heaven and earth. Thus, when Yang Junshan discovered the mountain tiger’s body that was filled with demonic Qi, he guessed that this mountain tiger should have been one of the first demon beasts to obtain the mysterious inheritance and gain intelligence.

However, Yang Junshan did not remember that in his previous life, there were any tyrannical demons that used to sit on the back of a mountain tiger, causing Yang Junshan to be slightly disappointed. However, thinking about the battle between the two beasts in the col, if it wasn’t for Yang Junshan’s help, the mountain tiger would have already died under the hands of the Treadmill bear, which meant that this mountain tiger had already been killed by the Treadmill bear before it had even become a demon.

In reality, Yang Junshan’s guess had turned out to be true. Inside the mountain tiger’s cave, the appearance of a set of high-grade body tempering secret arts had even temporarily made Yang Junshan unable to believe it.

After experiencing the initial agitation, Yang Junshan quickly calmed down. He understood what kind of ruckus this set of body tempering secret technique would cause if it were to appear in the cultivation world. However, he was surprised that the things here had not been discovered by the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s mountain guarding cultivators.

However, he immediately thought about Zhang Yueming and the others who had been lured away by Su Baozhang. Once they discovered Su Baozhang’s intentions, they would definitely return, and after activating the Butterfly Talisman again, it wouldn’t be long before they find the col. At that time, they would definitely search the entire col.

How could he hide these eight drawings? Yang Junshan had wanted to dig these eight drawings out, but he didn’t have the tools. Even if he did, how could he bring these drawings out of the enclosure?

It was at this moment that Yang Junshan noticed the lines of mud stains within the crevices below the stone wall that were caused by the leakage of water. Thus, he casually stirred some of the mud on the stone wall using the kettle, and it was true that those youngsters did not discover anything after entering the cave.

However, this time it was because Yang Junshan had covered up the frescoes, so why was it that in his previous life, he had never heard of Zhang Yueming obtaining this set of body tempering secret arts, but was instead unable to fulfill the cultivation requirements of the high rank body tempering technique passed down in the Heaven-Shaken Sect, and thus had no choice but to cultivate a middle rank body tempering technique for body tempering?

The only possibility was that Zhang Yueming did not discover this cave. Perhaps the reason was because after this mountain tiger was killed, its corpse was taken away by the Treadmill bear or even eaten. Therefore, when Zhang Yueming tracked the mountain tiger to the col, he thought that this mountain tiger had passed by this place before and quickly chased it to other places.

After he settled the matter, Yang Junshan could finally relax and use this cave as his place of cultivation for the next few days.

There were still five days left before the closure of the Banyan Mountain Enclosure. Yang Junshan, who had already obtained two high quality immortal spirits and three mid quality ones, was completely sure that there were no better immortal spirits in the Banyan Mountain. Rather than risking his life to find a few low quality ones, it would be better to just hide in this cave and cultivate until the hunt ends.

Moreover, when the young man participating in the Immortal Hunt came out of the Banyan Mountain, he would definitely be secretly inspected by the cultivators guarding the mountain. At this time, Yang Junshan didn’t have the ability to hide it from the three Martial Realm Cultivator s, and definitely wouldn’t believe that the cultivators guarding the mountain would actually watch aotal of five high grade immortal spirits, a pair of medium grade immortal spirits and an expensive yellow immortal spirit were taken away by a twelve year old boy who could only participate in the third round of hunt.
