Immortal Pilgrimage Chapter 8

The old beggar was puzzled. He looked at Su Yu, then shook his head, hesitation surfacing in his eyes. After a long while, he eventually picked him up and continued walking forward.

Like this, the old man carried Su Yu along as he walked on the narrow path for nearly half a day before they finally found a ruined temple on a hill by the roadside.

At the moment, the sky turned gloomy. Far into the horizon, a surge of black clouds was rapidly brewing a storm

The old beggar looked at the gloomy sky, then looked at Su Yu whom he had carried under one of his arms. After slight contemplation, he took big strides towards the ruined temple.

……

“Pitter-patter!”

An electric arc, like a silver snake, suddenly streaked across the sky. Shortly afterward, the thunder roared towards the horizon, followed by a heavy downpour with each raindrop that was as big as a bean.

Currently, the old beggar was sitting at the entrance of the ruined temple. He was drinking the wine from his gourd while looking far away. The direction he was looking at was the place where the G.o.d Burial Desert was located.

His expression was solemn; his gaze was deep and distant; n.o.body knew what he was thinking at the moment.

“Half a month ago, a phenomenon appeared in this sky of Endless Continent and at that moment, there seemed to be something that had fallen. As for where that something had landed, it looked as if were the G.o.d Burial Desert……”

“G.o.d Burial Desert? Why did it have to land in that place?” The puzzlement in the old beggar’s eyes became denser. As the old beggar looked in the direction of the G.o.d Burial Desert, his gaze looked even more intense.

The roar of the thunder that had resounded throughout the horizon caused Su Yu to wake up from his lethargic sleep.

Su Yu opened his eyes with difficulty and found that he was in a ruined temple. The old beggar whom he had been following was sitting at the temple entrance in a daze; no one knew what he was thinking about.

Instead of immediately sitting up, Su Yu once again closed his eyes and began to contemplate.

He was thinking about that time when he was at Ji Da Chun’s courtyard. Why did he suddenly lose his reasoning? Also, why was his whole body suddenly filled with power?

“In the end, what is the reason?” Deep in Su Yu’s heart, he kept asking himself this question.

The next second, he remembered that at that time, his chest felt like it was set ablaze. Also, he could clearly feel that it was this blaze that had instantly caused his blood to boil.

Chest? Chest?

Of course, the picture of the giant bronze cauldron!

Su Yu suddenly recalled the picture of the giant bronze cauldron that was on his chest.

“That must be it! That must be it! It must have used some way to temporarily stimulate my body’s potential and also caused me to sink into madness. It managed to raise my fighting strength by a large margin for a short period of time, at the price of losing all of my strength for another period of time.” While Su Yu was contemplating, his eyes were s.h.i.+ning with excitement.

“So, by what means did it rely on to temporarily stimulate my body’s potential and allow my fighting strength to dramatically increase?” Again, Su Yu immediately sunk into deep contemplation.

After a long while, he suddenly remembered that when he was watching Jia Da Chun and his family being heartlessly humiliated by Liu Bing, he was extremely furious. It was at that time when Su Yu felt his chest had a burning sensation!

In other words, it was at that time that he gradually began to sink into madness, and at the same time, his body’s strength was increasing at a frightening rate.

At this moment, an idea suddenly surfaced in his mind.

“Could it be that the picture of the giant bronze cauldron can automatically absorb my negative emotions to stimulate my body’s potential, allowing me to have an increase in fighting strength for a short period of time?” Once Su Yu had reached this conclusion, it became impossible for him to wave this thought away.

Furthermore, the more he pondered over it, the more he felt that this speculation was the best explanation for his inexplicable increase in fighting strength and also the sudden loss of that fighting strength during the fight with Liu Yan Qing.

“If this is so, then this would be my life-saving method. Since during critical moment between life and death, regardless of who, anyone would have negative emotions so, at that time, the picture of the giant bronze cauldron on my chest would absorb those negative emotions. In return, it would stimulate my body’s potential, allowing me to fight with a frightening strength that is beyond normal!” Su Yu’s eyes immediately s.h.i.+ned.

“It’s just that…” When he thought up to here, Su Yu smiled wryly as he shook his head. “If it really is as I have speculated, then even though the picture of the giant bronze cauldron got its advantage, it would still cause me to sink into madness and lose my reasoning. Also, the most important point is that once the ability is activated, it would last for an hour. After that, I would be powerless for around a day. This is definitely a fatal flaw….”

Thinking till here, Su Yu was at his wits’ end.

If that is so, then in the future, he would have to learn to control his emotions.

“If I’m able to control the bronze cauldron picture, then I would have it store the negative emotions that I released, and to release everything out during the moment I need it to start stimulating my body’s potential to greatly increase my fighting strength. It would be great if this were possible……” Su Yu couldn’t help but keep having these ideas.

However, very quickly he shook his head, mumbling to himself that that idea was impractical.

“Of course, all this is just me thinking. Whether it is really true, I’m afraid I have to experience it for myself. If my speculation is correct, then before I find the method to control the absorption of negative emotions by the giant bronze cauldron picture, I should first control my emotions.” Su Yu at once mumbled to himself the conclusion he came to.

Su Yu touched the picture of the giant bronze cauldron on his chest, and he said in his heart, “Giant bronze cauldron ah, though I do not know of your origin, it was you that had brought me into this unfamiliar world ah, so you have to take responsibility of me ah! At the very least, you should ensure that I would be able to survive in this world, èn, to not live under humiliation but with dignity!”

After he had temporarily figured out the reason for his previous sudden eruption of power, he once more began to worry about Ji Da Chun and his family.

He was worried that Ji Da Chun and his family might be captured by Liu Yan Bing. However, he was aware that there was not the slightest use for the current him to worry about them, so he could only pray that the Ji Family were able to escape to a place without any oppression; to peacefully and safely live their lives.

After shaking his head, he then raised his head and was about to look at the old beggar to see what he was doing.

However, who would have known that when he looked in the direction of the old beggar, the old beggar was currently looking at him with a strange expression.
