The Magus Era - Chapter 774

Chapter 774





Fast, indescribably fast . . . Even ten times, hundreds of times faster than Ji Hao when he transformed into a golden beam of sunlight and flashed in the sky .
Thousands, tens of thousands of miles were covered in a single moment . Within the span of a breath, and by the time Ji Hao hadn’t even realized what was happening, he was already brought over a million miles away from Liang Zhu City . Faintly in the front, they could see mist coiled in streams, a green river winding on the ground while a beautiful peak showed a half of its body in the mist .
The man with a long beard brought Ji Hao and rushed into the mist . Instantly, the mist was dispelled, transforming into white clouds, drifting around them . Ji Hao only felt a nice coolness surrounded his entire body . His primordial spirit suddenly relaxed, and he seemed to sense a cool gust of wind blowing in his chest, washing off all killing intents and violence in his heart .
Coiled by the white clouds, the scene in front of his eyes began changing to lights and shadows . At last, when the clouds dissipated, a steep and thrivingly green mountain appeared in front of Ji Hao . Surrounding him were towering pines cedars, and countless Ganoderma could be seen on the tree trunks, releasing a refreshing aroma .
Clouds and mist rose from the rugged rocks, which were covered in holes . A single-horned boa with white scales had been wriggling between the rocks . Seeing Ji Hao, the boa raised its head and politely nodded towards Ji Hao three times .
A winged, gigantic tiger, which had a pair of lightning-bright eyes, leaped over . Seeing Ji Hao, the tiger trod on a rock, gave a deep roar, then conveniently threw a slap on the head of the boa . But right after that, the tiger hurriedly fled away with its tail between its legs .




The boa was slapped by the tiger suddenly, and quite a while later, it finally, angrily let out its fork-shaped tongue . It then straightened its body and chased after that tiger while hissing all the way loudly .
The man with long a beard sighed, smilingly nodded to Ji Hao and said, "Sorry about that, my brother . This pair of auspicious beasts are the door keepers of mine . They’ve been quite naughty since they both were babies, and that naughtiness has never changed . "
Ji Hao looked at the man with a long beard from head to toe in shock . Only now did he find out that the appearance of this man was no different from ordinary human beings, other than his long beard . This man didn’t have any swollen muscles, and no fierce power vibration released from him . That pair of eyes of this man hadn’t been sparkling with any magical light either; at first glance, this man looked just like an ordinary human being .
Nevertheless, when Ji Hao scanned this man’s body with the special Qi-detecting magic taught by Yu Yu, he saw a dense purple mist surrounding this man, with five faintly visible white mists rising from his head . They reached nearly a hundred meter high, then forming a mushroom-shaped cloud . Upon the cloud were three quickly spinning golden lotuses .
Even more magically, countless faint beams of golden light had been bursting within the protective purple mist surrounded the man’s body . The golden beams of light were released directly from the inside of his body . Each golden light beam was around three meters long and looked like a needle, making the man look indescribably sacred and majestic .
The power of natural reward, that had almost be condensed into a tangible matter, could not only defend its owner, but could also serve as a weapon . Exactly how much power of natural reward could condense into a golden light like this? Ji Hao opened his mouth in shock and thought . Back in Evil Dragon Bay, he slaughtered countless elite non-humankind beings and attained a great reward from nature . However, with the natural reward he earned and the help of Yu Yu, he attained no more than a primordial spirit, that could come out of his body and travel to ten-thousand miles away independently .
Back then, the natural reward earned by Ji Hao was already amazingly great . But compared with this man with long beard, that was just an ordinarily amount .

"Dear Brother, forgive me for not knowing your name, you are?" Ji Hao narrowed his eyes, looked at this man and asked .
The five streams of mist rising from the man’s head was purely white . Apparently, the cultivation style of this man was different from the cultivation style of Yu Yu . Besides, the three golden lotuses spinning upon the mushroom clouds above his head meant that this man was at a much higher power level than Ji Hao .
This man was not Yu Yu’s disciple, but he could be a disciple of one of Yu Yu’s two brothers .
"I am Guangcheng . " said the man while grinningly holding Ji Hao’s hand, taking Ji Hao to that beautifully green cliff . A cave was located under the cliff, with a yard surrounded by pines and cedars . A stone table and a few stone chairs were placed in the yard, and a pair of boys had been making a nicely smelling tea .
"Guangcheng, Emperor Xuanyuan’s Shifu! I, Ji Hao, am so pleasured to meet you, brother Guangcheng . " Ji Hao was surprised, and hurriedly saluted Guangcheng .
"Emperor Xuanyuan’s Shifu?" Guangcheng paused briefly, then grinned and responded, "That’s bygone, it had probably ‘disappeared’ from the recorded history of the non-humankind already . I didn’t think that you, my dear little brother, actually know about it . Did brother Po mentioned it to you?"




Ji Hao chuckled but didn’t answer the question .
Po never mentioned anything about Guangcheng to Ji Hao . However, Guangcheng was way too famous that Ji Hao subconsciously said aloud Guangcheng’s old title out .
Priest Guangcheng was well-known back in the era of Emperor Xuanyuan . Once, Emperor Xuanyuan and his ministers came to visit Guangcheng in his home, to learn about the magic of immortality . It was said that Priest Guangcheng then taught the secret magic to Emperor Xuanyuan, after which, Emperor Xuanyuan mounted on a dragon and flew up into the sky . Many human beings witnessed this magical scene .
However, Ji Hao had looked through all history books collected by the Magi Palace, but failed to find anything about Priest Guangcheng . As for the legend of Priest Xuanyuan visiting Guangcheng for the magic of immortality, it was only vaguely and shortly mentioned in an official record about Emperor Xuanyuan’s daily life .
To be honest, the humankind had already destroyed all records related to Priest Guangcheng . Simply speaking, the emperors after Emperor Xuanyuan didn’t want the civilians to know about the fact that Emperor Xuanyuan had learned the magic from Priest Guangcheng .
Emperor Xuanyuan possessed an especially high status in the history of the humankind, being known as ‘the Great Emperor’ . In the entire history of the non-humankind, only two emperors could be mentioned in the same breath with Emperor Xuanyuan . Many great achievements had been attained by Emperor Xuanyuan, especially the part when he led the young alliance of the humankind and started a long-lasting war against Chi You Army, eventually destroying the latter, killing and sealing the first generation of Chi You . Everybody knew about this .
With the status and achievements of Emperor Xuanyuan, a part of his life was actually, secretly concealed by later human leaders . This was quite interesting .
Ji Hao followed Guangcheng to reach under an old pine . The two of them greeted each other, then sat around the stone table, facing each other . Guangcheng took over the teapot from the hands of a boy and poured a cup of refreshingly smelling tea for Ji Hao . Then, he laughed gently and said, "Under the demand of my Shifu, I have been cultivating myself in this place all year long, also keeping an eye on those evil things in Liang Zhu City . In recent years, nothing special happened in Liang Zhu City . But today, such a noisy fight was started . "
Ji Hao raised his eyebrows, grinned and asked, "Brother Guangcheng, have you been staying here all the time to keep a watch on Liang Zhu City?"
In Ji Hao’s ears, Guangcheng’s words sounded like a tsunami . Did that mean, Yu Yu and his two brothers had been sneakily doing something to the non-humankind all this long?"
How many years had it been since Liang Zhu City was built? Ten-thousand years? A-hundred thousand years? Even longer?
How many years had Priest Guangcheng lived in here? Ten-thousand years? A-hundred thousand years? Even longer?
"My brother, with what happened today, I might have made you laugh!" said Ji Hao .
Guangcheng smilingly shook his head, picked up the teacup and said, "What is there to laugh about? I, as your brother, am quite surprised . Little brother, good job!"
