"Sorry, it's done." Jiang Yan, who was wearing the armor of flowers, cupped his fists at Bai Ze, who was above the clouds.
Bai Ze's eyes drooped as though he was thinking about something. Moments later, he glanced at Jiang Yan and Zhou Wen before turning around and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Senior Brother, congratulations on obtaining a Guardian as you wished." Zhou Wen hurriedly went forward to congratulate him.
"Do you think I'll forgive you just like that? What you did to me just now is unforgivable … "Jiang Yan stared at Zhou Wen as the corners of his mouth gradually curled up.
Zhou Wen cursed inwardly as he turned around and ran down the mountain.
However, it was already too late. Jiang Yan's finger streaked across the void and a flower that resembled a rose appeared between his fingers. The flower was beautiful and crimson like blood.
"Immortal Burial Six Rites Sacrifice!" With Jiang Yan's voice, the flower flew out from his fingers and instantly vanished.
By the time the flower appeared again, it was already stuck in Zhou Wen's hair. It stood upright like a lone flower growing on a grave.
Zhou Wen immediately felt his body unable to move like a dead person. Not only could his body not move, but even his heart and breathing had stopped. His body lay straight down.
Although his bodily functions had completely stopped, he was still conscious and could sense everything around him.
Jiang Yan's fingers moved slightly as the flower in Zhou Wen's hair slanted slightly. Zhou Wen opened his eyes and could move his mouth, but he still couldn't move his body.
"Senior Brother, stop fooling around …" Zhou Wen said.
"How can it be fooling around? I'm thanking you for helping me so much just now … "Jiang Yan said through gritted teeth as he kicked Zhou Wen's ass.
By the time Zhou Wen returned to school, it had already been half a month since he left.
After Jiang Yan obtained a Guardian, his strength had indeed become very powerful. This strength was somewhat different from having a Companion Beast.
Companion Beasts were ultimately external forces that couldn't really increase their basic stats and bodily functions.
However, the armor transformed from a Guardian could fuse with the body to a certain extent, allowing the human body to possess the attributes and characteristics of a Guardian. This was a basic improvement that allowed one to directly enter the Mythical stage.
However, this improvement was only limited to fusing with the Guardian armor. After the Guardian armor separated, Jiang Yan was still at the Epic stage. His body didn't advance to the Mythical stage.
This resulted in Jiang Yan's strength being at the Mythical stage only when he wore the Guardian armor.
However, Jiang Yan was indeed very strong when he wore the Guardian armor. A Guardian had an Essence Energy Skill, Life Providence, Life Soul, and Wheel of Destiny.
Having a Guardian was equivalent to having an additional Mythical Body.
When he saw Jiang Yan use all sorts of powerful powers, he realized that they were much stronger than when Hardedef used the six-winged seraphim. It was unknown if Fairy Burial was stronger than the six-winged seraphim, or if Jiang Yan was stronger than Hardedef, or a combination of both.
This tempted Zhou Wen, but he quickly rejected this thought. If he wasn't at his wit's end, he wasn't willing to take the path of contracting a Guardian.
Even if there was really no other way, he could still try Spirit Casting. However, Spirit Casting seemed to be more difficult and dangerous than contracting a Guardian.
From what Zhou Wen knew, there were only two paths for humans to advance to the Mythical stage. He had never heard of anyone advancing to the Mythical stage purely with a human body.
I should raise my Life Soul to a Perfect Body first. Perhaps there will be a solution when the time comes. Unless it's absolutely necessary, it's best not to take those two paths. This trip to Immortal Seeking Mountain gave Zhou Wen some ideas.
Using the mysterious taboo power in the dimensional zone to temper his Zero Taboo Life Soul was definitely feasible.
However, since he didn't find the tiny palm symbol on Immortal Seeking Mountain, it was impossible for Zhou Wen to head there himself. Therefore, he planned on heading to Small Buddha Temple to give it a try.
After entering the game, he switched to the Zero Taboo Life Soul. Without using Blood Meditation, the blood-colored avatar ascended the stone steps of Small Buddha Temple.
As expected, Zero Taboo lit up. However, it wasn't as terrifying as the other places. It was still within an acceptable range.
As Small Buddha Temple's taboo power corroded it, Zero Taboo became brighter and brighter as though it was about to burn.
This level of taboo power was still within the range of his Life Soul's tolerance. Zero Taboo was like steel that had been tempered in a furnace. Although the burning would shrink the crystal, it would also become purer.
It's indeed useful … Zhou Wen was overjoyed. Zero Taboo could be said to be an excellent life-preservation ability. In the future, when he headed to the various mysterious dimensional zones, he would definitely encounter many unimaginable taboo powers. When the time came, he would have to rely on Zero Taboo to preserve his life.
If Zero Taboo could be raised to a Perfect Body, it would undoubtedly be extremely useful to Zhou Wen.
However, Zhou Wen felt that it was too slow to raise Zero Taboo like this. Furthermore, if he stayed in-game in Small Buddha Temple, he wouldn't be able to grind.
Therefore, Zhou Wen decided to head to Small Buddha Temple in reality to train his Zero Taboo Life Soul. At the same time, he could use his phone to grind. This was a win-win situation.
Just as Zhou Wen was about to pack his things and head to Small Buddha Temple, he heard the doorbell ring.
When he opened the door, he saw Wang Lu with the chick and antelope. When Zhou Wen wasn't around, the two of them would run to Wang Lu's place by themselves. Zhou Wen couldn't be bothered to pick them up.
"I'll return Little Feifei and Little Antelope to you. You have to take good care of them in the future. Don't leave them in the dorm," Wang Lu said to Zhou Wen.
"Got it," Zhou Wen answered.
Wang Lu bit her lip and said, "I'm leaving."
"Where are you going?" Zhou Wen was slightly taken aback before he reacted and said, "Didn't your uncle already agree to let you stay on campus to study? Did he go back on his word? "
Wang Lu shook her head and said, "It's not that. I'm about to advance to the Epic stage, so I have to return."
"What does advancing to the Epic stage have to do with returning?" Zhou Wen was somewhat puzzled.
"The Primordial Energy Art I cultivate is different from others. Every advancement will result in a regression. After I advance to the Epic stage, I will fall back to the Mortal stage in a very short period of time. Only by cultivating to the Epic stage again can I stabilize it. During this period, my body is very prone to injuries, so Father wants me to return home to advance to the Epic stage," Wang Lu said.
"I see. Then you really should return." Zhou Wen felt that it was too troublesome for Wang Lu to cultivate this Primordial Energy Art. However, such a troublesome Primordial Energy Art was likely extraordinary in strength.
As though understanding that Wang Lu was leaving, the antelope walked to Wang Lu's side. The chick also flew onto Wang Lu's shoulder as though it was reluctant to part with her.
Wang Lu hugged the chick and stroked the antelope's head. She said with a smile, "If you can't bear to part with me, come home with me. After all, your master doesn't care about you. I wonder how much suffering you will suffer if you follow him."
