The Divine Martial Stars Chapter 453 - Bright Saint Being

Chapter 453 Bright Saint Being

The fairy mountain in front of them was decent, with flourishing grass and trees as well as fairy mist. Looking from a distance, they found that the waterfalls were dotted on the mountain like jade belts, which refreshed and eased them.
“Let’s go.”
Li Mu was in the front, Guo Yuqing in the back, and the Four Men’s Symphony were on both sides to protect Ming Yue, Qing Feng, and Wang Shiyu. They quickly walked toward the inside of Five-finger Mountain.
Everyone looked a little excited.
Li Mu and Guo Yuqing, on the other hand, were unusually calm.
That was because the last moment was always the most crucial moment for those who traveled a hundred miles. If they were not careful enough, they would lose it all.
Fortunately, they did not encounter any danger after entering.
This area was full of Spiritual Qi, with green mountains and rivers, as well as a gentle breeze, which made them feel extremely comfortable. They couldn’t even see wild animals. There was no formation or killing intent. It was like a paradise.
Five solitary peaks, like huge pillars, stabbed toward the sky. Every single peak was vaguely divided into three sections, round and independent. The more they looked, the more they found they were like human palms. They were separated on the east side. There was a wide valley at the foot of the mountain. It was flat and looked like the palm of a human hand.
“According to the map of the Immortal Path, the immortal was trapped in the valley at the peak in the middle,” Li Mu said, pointing at the highest and the most lofty peak in the distance.
This lonely peak, in the structure of Five-finger Mountain, was like a middle finger.
Everyone was both excited and nervous.
“After thousands of years, is the immortal still there?”
“If he is alive, will he be easy-going?”
“If he died, could he leave the legacy to protect everyone?”
Li Mu did not say a word, but led them to rush forward.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the middle finger peak.
“That is…” Li Mu and the others stopped in their tracks in astonishment.
There was an artificially-made vegetable field, about three or four acres, in which various kinds of vegetables were neatly planted. Because of the rich Spiritual Qi in this area, the vegetation was extremely flourishing.
Between the vegetable fields, there was a ditch made of bluestones extending to a pond a hundred meters away. Beside the pond, there was a courtyard with a green bamboo fence. In the courtyard, there were three thatched cottages, a stone table, two stone stools, and a small garden.
No one had expected that there would be such a scene under the peak.
“Shouldn’t the place where an immortal lives be none other than a luxurious manor?”
Or, it should be some impressive building, cave, or layers of formations, which should be full of fairy spirit. Who knew that it turned out to be such a small farmyard full of living atmosphere, and a kind of rural farming pleasure was greeting them.
“Is this the residence of that immortal?” Ming Yue touched her head in a daze.
It was different from what she had imagined.
The eyes of Li Mu, Guo Yuqing, and Qing Feng all fell on the three huts, whose doors were closed tightly, and they didn’t know if there was anyone inside. If there were really immortals, they should be in the huts.
“Be careful, everyone.”
After giving the warning, Li Mu headed for the fenced yard first.
Soon, everyone appeared at the gate of the courtyard.
“Excuse me, is anyone here?” Ming Yue pushed the door open and walked in. She blinked her eyes like a weasel stealing a chicken.
No one answered.
On the stone table in the courtyard was a layer of soil. In the corner of the roof of the thatched cottage was dust like a spider web. The rare flowers and grass in the parterre were quite prosperous, but obviously not attended to.
“It looks like this place has been empty for a long time,” Yuan Hou said.
The whole yard, including the three huts, was opened up to have a look, but it was certain that there were no realm-upgrading fluctuations coming from inside.
“Could it be that the immortal is dead?”
After all, it had been a thousand years. Back then, in the battle against demons, he was likely to have been heavily injured and was unable to leave the area. Thus, he could only transmit his voice. Perhaps, he was seriously injured and could no longer be treated.
This would be undoubtedly the worst result.
For Li Mu and the others, it was unacceptable for them that there was only the legacy left behind if the immortal died, because even if they got the legacy, it would be stolen when all the sects from outer space arrived, which would cause them to die earlier.
They could only bet that the immortal was still alive and could protect them.
But now, it seemed that the situation was not good.
At first, Li Mu thought that if the immortal really died, he hoped that there would be something like an immortal tactical deployment for use. But now, there was no clue of any tactical deployment in this courtyard.
It was totally dangerous.
There was nothing.
Li Mu was about to ask the group to search around the middle finger peak to see if there were any other clues. At this time, a voice came from the middle thatched cottage.
“Cough, cough, there… there’s someone, there’s someone.”
It was an old voice, deep and lacking energy.
After a while, the door of the thatched cottage opened. A hunchbacked old man in a gray robe with sparse grey hair slowly walked out with a crutch in his hand.
“Did you… come from outside the Tomb of the God of Sin?” The old man raised his head with difficulty. Since his teeth were all gone, he had to force his words out. The skin on his face was as wrinkled as a dried orange peel, and he looked like a skeleton that had just crawled out of a grave.
Li Mu and the others looked at each other in surprise.
“Senior, you are…” Li Mu tried to ask.
“I… I am Fairy Emperor of Light.” The old man panted and said, “Are you… outsiders who came on the Immortal Path map that I sent out back then? In other words, did a thousand years already pass?” His words required him to take three breaths. He was extremely weak and he might die at any time.
“Fairy Emperor of Light?”
No one had ever heard of this name.
However, if he could be called a fairy emperor, he had to be a great talent. It would be a great honor to be a fairy emperor. However… it was really difficult to associate him with that name.
Li Mu nodded and said, “Yes, the Tomb of the God of Sin is open again. We came here following the Immortal Path map, and we found this place. Senior…”
When hearing this, his wrinkled eyes revealed a hint of joy. He said, “Great, a thousand years have finally passed. My legacy can be passed down. I’ll be able to rest in peace if I die.”
As he spoke, he coughed violently again. His body trembled, and he couldn’t stand still. Then, he fell to the side.
“Senior…” Li Mu hurriedly went over to hold him and said, “Senior, your body…”
A hint of sadness flashed through the emperor’s eyes. He said, “I once suppressed the Ziwei Star Region and defeated all my enemies. How glorious I was! But now… Alas, a thousand years ago, I fought against that devil. Although I suppressed him, my core self was injured and I was attacked by magic power. Now, I’ve run out of energy. I often fell asleep and lost all my immortal power…”
Everyone’s hearts sank when they heard that.
“Are… you… are you… disappointed?” The Fairy Emperor of Light laughed at himself. When he sat down on the stone in the middle of the yard with Li Mu’s help, he panted again.
“It’s okay. Senior, even if you’re dead, you’re still alive.” Ming Yue came over to comfort him.
The Fairy Emperor of Light: “…”
Li Mu and the others: “…”
At this time, Ming Yue also felt that she had said something wrong.
After saying this, she suddenly felt that what she said was not right. Under everyone’s fierce eyes, she quickly made up for it and said, “No, no, no, no, I am not being articulate. I’m not cursing you. Grandpa, listen to me. Although you are about to die, you can suppress the devil and sacrifice yourself. You will always live on in our hearts… Oh…”
Li Mu directly covered her mouth.
“I think it’s better not to speak, my lady.”
The emperor smiled amicably and said, “Little girl… it’s normal for you to be muddleheaded because you were born with a rare ‘Taoist body and demonic being’. I do not mind… I don’t have much time left. When I pass you the fairy skills, I’ll have no regrets anymore. I should not end our kindling…”
Speaking of this, he glanced at Ming Yue, who had an apologetic look, and continued gasping, “What a pity! You, little monkey, have a rare Taoist body, which will definitely attract the Great Deity sects, but you are not suitable for my Taoist system…”
Ming Yue was greatly disappointed and said, “Senior, you can give it a try. What if I am suitable for it?”
Li Mu and the others also laughed.
However, he was really powerful. Although extremely weak and even weaker than ordinary people, he had sharp vision, since he discovered Ming Yue’s special body at a glance. Zuo Luyi also said that there was a demonic soul in Ming Yue’s body. Later, after the demonic soul was refined, her strength soared and she cultivated the image of a white lotus against a blue sky… It turned out that Ming Yue was in a daze because of her physical properties.
“When you meet the skills that suit you most in the future, you’ll naturally understand. Once you practice the right skill, you’ll be enlightened and become smarter…” the emperor said with a smile.
Then Ming Yue plucked up her courage and asked, “So, Grandpa, who is suitable for your system?”
As he looked at them, his eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Wang Shiyu. He was overjoyed at first, then shocked.
“Haha… Ahem… Okay… okay, that’s great. I didn’t expect that in the last moment of my life, I’d actually meet the legendary ‘Bright Saint Being’.” Looking at Wang Shiyu, he couldn’t suppress his excitement and he said, “Little girl, do you have a master? Would you like to be my disciple?”
