Exposed After I became an Immortal - Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Enlightening the Black Eagle! First Mention of the Black Wind Mountain!

…

In the twenty-fifth year of the Hongwu era, time passed quickly.

At the beginning of the twenty-sixth year of the Hongwu era. Just after the New Year, on Zhongshan Mountain.

There was still a bit of chill, in the early morning of this day.

Dew was still condensing.

Zhu Xuanji was wandering on the mountain with Da Huang and Xiao Liuzi.

At this time, he suddenly heard a cry coming from the sky.

The cry was like roar screeching across the sky. It was extremely high-pitched.

After a while, he only saw a black shadow falling from the sky. It was a black eagle, severely injured and falling not far away.

Da Huang looked.

Immediately said: “Master! Look quickly! That seems to be an eagle!”

Zhu Xuanji said: “Let’s go and see.”

After a while, Zhu Xuanji saw the black eagle fallen in the grass, and on the brink of death. It didn’t even have the strength to cry out. Obviously, it was about to die.

Zhu Xuanji squatted down, looked at the black eagle’s wing. Only to see that the black eagle had a large wound on its body. The blood had dried up.

Seeing this situation, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Xuanji’s eyes. This black eagle was obviously an adult black eagle. It had a height over one meter, and the wingspan was at least three meters long!

Such a big black eagle, the thing that injured it was quite terrifying being able to injure such a black eagle! Obviously, it was also another such fierce bird!

The monkey Xiao Liuzi hid behind Da Huang. It sneakily looked at the black eagle and said, “Goodness! This black eagle is really big! Master, are you going to save it?”

Zhu Xuanji often walked around Zhongshan.

It was to find worthy creatures to enlighten.

Today, seeing this black eagle. He had an idea. If he could enlighten this black eagle and tame it. That would be a great thing.

Now, he had Da Huang, Xiao Liuzi, and also had the old turtle and the silver fish of Xuanwu Lake.

On land and in water.

He had both.

What he lacked was something that could fly in the sky.

This black eagle came just in time.

Next moment, they only saw Zhu Xuanji raise his hand.

First, he used the Rejuvenation Art on the black eagle. Saved the black eagle that was on the brink of death. Then, he used the Enlightenment Technique on the black eagle. After these operations, the black eagle regained its vitality.

Then stood up, looked at Zhu Xuanji with burning eyes, and at Da Huang and Xiao Liuzi beside Zhu Xuanji.

After some time, they heard the black eagle speak: “Thank you … Realized Being for saving my life! May I ask the Realized Being’s name!”

The black eagle’s words, were not stiff at all. Obviously, this was an experienced black eagle. Definitely not an ordinary creature!

Zhu Xuanji smiled faintly.

“This place is Zhongshan! My Daoist name is Xuanji.”

The black eagle was stunned for a moment.

“So it’s Realized Being Xuanji!”

“Thank you, Realized Being Xuanji, for saving my life! The Realized Being’s skills are extraordinary. Your magic is marvelous! You be from a Hidden Immortal lineage! Unexpectedly, on this Zhongshan, a majestic person from the Hidden Immortal lineage appears again! It is truly a blessing for the creatures of the world!”

The black eagle’s words immediately caught Zhu Xuanji’s attention.

“Oh? How do you know I am from the Hidden Immortal lineage!”

The black eagle said: “The Realized Being does not know, when I was young, I once followed my parents outside the Yuanming Mansion of Qixia Mountain, listening to the teachings of Daoist Yuanming.”

“Later, the Mo Yuan Dynasty rose! The fragmented demonic path was unified by Temujin! Since then, the Immortals hid, and the demonic path prospered! Since then, those once famous Immortal figures all became Hidden Immortals. A hundred years ago, the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, and the seventy-two prefectures of Shenzhou were almost entirely occupied by demonic sects! After the fall of the Mo Yuan Dynasty.

“Shenzhou was fragmented again. The demonic sects retreated from the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, and the seventy-two prefectures of Shenzhou. In the past twenty years, some descendants of the Hidden Immortal lineage have walked in the human world. However, in places like Zhongshan, occupied by the dynasty. The chances of encountering a Hidden Immortal are very slim! Unexpectedly. Today, I could meet the Realized Being on Zhongshan! It must be my destiny to survive!”

When Zhu Xuanji heard these words from the black eagle, a faint smile appeared on his face.

“It turns out to be like this! The injury on your body has been healed by me! I see that you are quite intelligent. Now, if you don’t have a home to return to, why don’t you stay on Zhongshan and cultivate with me? Under my seat, become a divine messenger bird!”
