Chapter 60: Encountering An Immortal... Beast Control Manual?
"This disciple only requires a beast or demon control manual..." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
As soon as amira’s voice faded the ’immortal’ seemed to ponder for a moment before speaking, "a manual for controlling beast and demons? What kind of demon do you hope to control, let me hand you a more specific manual."
"It is a beast that looks like a tiny worm but can control the body of a big worm, it also has all these worms that it can use to control other people," amira began describing the worm demon.
"Oh? That should be the void tentacled demon, i didn’t expect suct a rare creature to actually be in this planet, you are trully lucky." kranos, the ’immortal’ responded in surprise.
He then continued, "there are two ways to control the void tentacled beast, one of which is by cultivating a certain technique, although this would take long to master since it is another immortal technique," saying so kranos took out the basic scroll he had previiously written on.
"The second method is using a gu worm restricting pill, when the beast is at it’s weakest just feed this pill to it, while infusing slight traces of mana into it’s body," kranos then glanced at the sky as though he was reading the start, "young cultivator you are quite lucky, it seems the void tentacled demon would be at it’s weeks a month and two weeks from now," kranos then gave the specific date which he was leaving this world.
"After that day it will take another hundred years before the void tentacled demon experience a period of weakness." at this moment kranos glanced forward and said in a deep tone, "young man, since you have been watching our exchange for quite a while why don’t you come and introduce yourself?" although kranos didn’t precisely where ko was, he could roughly guess that he followed ming all the way.
But ko didn’t respond, kranos immediately snorted, "young man since you are unwilling i will have no choice but to pass on this cultivation technique and pill to this young man," as kranos finished speaking a pill appeared in his hand, it was an extremely potent poison pill but emmited a medicinal aroma.
Ko could no longer hide himself again, from the fact that ko had betrayed his friends, ming and ju to join the worm demon kranos had already guessed that ko was a very ambitous person. He slowly lured him into a trap and now everything was about to be completed.
Seeing ko materialixe amira immediately gasped in shock, as though she didn’t know she was being followed, "si—sir!" she managed to stutter. Ko only glanced at her coldly, he finally understood why the cultivator before him kept his identity a secret and why the cultivator was secretive the past week, to think there was actually a chanced encounter with an immortal.
But ko didn’t fully trust the words of the immortal, he decided to be cautious, however just looking at the cultivationmanual and medicinal pill that seemed to revitalixe his aging body his eyes immediately burned with greed, at this moment rather than being the worm demon’s surbodinate he wanted the worm demon to be his surbodinate.
just as kranos guessed ko was a very ambiteous person. He had always wanted to be at the top, he never liked being beneath others, however his talent was restricted, if i gain a powerful surbodinate like the worm demon my strength will soar and no one can stop me anymore, just the thought of it made his blood boil.
"An immortal huh?" ko sneered in disdain, however the next moment his expression changed drastically, he could feel his lifespan had reduced drastically, he was immediately horrified, the immortal didn’t even move and he felt like he had lost 50 years of lifespan! He immediately trembled and begged, "spare—please spare me!"
Although it seemed like kranos didn’t move, however he had indeed move, by rapidly using space shift and pausing time, while slashing at the old man with the time sword kranos managed to create the effect that he didn’t move at all.
Seeingly putting the demeanor kranos didn’t bother ko, rather he turned to the two of them and asked, "which of you will take the treasures?" immediately kranos finished asking ko turned and glared fiercely at amira.
"H—he will take the treasures..." amira said with trembling voice. Kranos nodded and then tossed the two treasures at ko who immediately became overjoyed. He then turned to ko, "i don’t want to discover that you killed a fellow cultivator to silence him, if not... hmph!" although kranos merely snorted ko could still remember how he lost more than fifty years of lifespan without the cultivator doing anything, he immeidately decided inwardly that he would only threaten amira without hurting her inthe slightest bit.
After adviced he sighed and mutter under his breath just loud enough for a cultivator at the golden core realm like ko to hear, "it’s time to head back to the immortal realm..." as soon as his voice faced kranos pause time the teleported away.
Amira and ko who was just abou to ask the immortal for a favor were immediately stunned, ko, despite being in the golden core realm couldn’t fathom how kranos disapeared! He shivered at the thought inwardly, he could imagine all the mystical secret techniques someone of that level must have, that is the level i want to reach!
He glanced at amira and with a thinderous snort he spoke, "hmph! I don’t want to hear anything about today from your mouth!" after speaking ko turned and with a light stamp of his foot he vanished into thin air, heading to begin comprehending the cultivation technique, he also recalled the time kranos mentioned, when the void tentacle demon would be at it’s weakest, he had to find a way to forcefully feed the demon the pill!

Meanwhile, a few meters a way a figure clad in black appeared, his silver ever gleamed brighter than even under the purple moonlight. Mision accomplished, now, it’s to wait for the day i ascend to the immortal world and take action kranos mutttered to himself as he walked back to the tree where he stayed, sat down and continued cultivating...
