Ji Tianxing came to the Xiao Clan to meet the Xiao Clan's Patriarch.
He didn't care about the Xiao Clan's Holy Fire Festival or the grudges between the young disciples.
In fact, he was just a passer-by to the Xiao Clan.
He came to the Xiao Clan to verify one thing. Once he got the answer, he could leave without any worries.
Therefore, when he found out that the Pillar of Heavens Mountain was the residence of the Xiao Clan's Patriarch, he rushed over without hesitation.
Swoosh!
He passed through the clouds and landed on the peak of the Pillar of Heavens Mountain that was 10,000 meters tall.
On the peak of the Pillar of Heavens Mountain, there was a piece of flat land with a radius of 10 miles.
This piece of land was filled with dark red Spiritual Feather Maple Leaves. The red leaves were like the feathers of a divine bird and were as red as fire.
Surrounded by thousands of Spiritual Feather Maple Leaves, there was a wooden house made of Black Soul Wood.
The wooden house had two floors and about six to seven rooms.
An invisible Soul-grade array protected the entire wooden house. Even after thousands of years, it wouldn't decay.
Every room in the wooden house had its own defensive array that contained the power of space. They all had their own mysteries.
In the small courtyard outside the wooden house, there was a 300-meter tall Green Maple Tree.
The tree trunk was 30 meters thick and the wide tree crown covered an area with a radius of 10,000 feet.
Pieces of dark green maple leaves fell from the tree crown, sprinkling in the quiet little courtyard, making rustling sounds.
Under the thousand-year-old tree, there was a green stone table and two stone stools.
On the table, there was a chessboard with hundreds of black and white chess pieces.
Beside the table, there was a green jade pot filled with Bejeweled Nectar that emitted an intoxicating fragrance.
A skinny old man in a black robe with white hair that reached his waist was sitting on the stone stools like a withered tree. He didn't move at all.
His aura was extremely restrained, like an ordinary person. There wasn't even any aura of life on his body. He was like a piece of withered wood.
Regardless of whether one looked at him with the naked eye or spiritual consciousness, one would mistakenly think that he was an old man who had passed away.
However, Ji Tianxing's Spiritual Energy could detect that the black-robed old man's Spiritual Energy was as vast as the sea.
He could vaguely sense that the white-haired old man's spirit power seemed to have reached the peak of the Soul Refinement realm and was only a step away from entering the Essence Soul Supremacy realm!
The black-robed old man sat under the tree. His white hair and black robes were covered with dozens of green maple leaves.
No one knew how long he had been sitting under the tree, but he hadn't moved at all.
He stared at the chessboard on the table without any ripples in his eyes. He held a black chess piece in his right hand. It hovered in the air and did not fall down.
Ji Tianxing lightly stepped into the small courtyard and walked towards the Qing Maple Tree.
The black-robed old man's back was facing him. He didn't seem to have noticed his arrival and remained motionless.
Moments later, Ji Tianxing walked under the Green Maple Tree and stood beside the black-robed old man.
He cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Junior Ji Tianxing pays his respects to the Xiao Clan's Patriarch."
Without a doubt, this black-robed old man was the Xiao Clan's Patriarch.
He ignored Ji Tianxing and continued to stare at the chessboard with a focused gaze.
Ji Tianxing could only stand at the side and wait quietly.
Unknowingly, an hour had passed.
The Xiao Clan's Patriarch seemed to have finally thought of the answer. A bright light flashed across his deep eyes.
Smack!
The black chess piece in his right hand landed on the chessboard on the stone table with a crisp sound.
When the chess piece landed, a majestic aura erupted from his body. It was as if he had just come alive.
It was only then that Ji Tianxing asked, "Senior, who are you playing chess with?"
The Xiao Clan's Patriarch didn't look at him. He pointed above his head and said a word in a deep voice.
"Heaven!"
Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows as a playful smile appeared on his face.
"Senior, you're playing chess with the heavens? This reminds me of something in the past. There was once a Paragon expert who lived in seclusion and used his great abilities to observe the heavens and the world.
He also set up a huge chess game in the square outside his residence and spent thousands of years playing chess with the heavens. "
The Xiao Clan's Patriarch was slightly moved, and a bright light flashed across his eyes.
He then raised his head and looked deeply at Ji Tianxing. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What was the result?"
Ji Tianxing smiled and raised a finger. "He won against the heavens and left!"
"Left … by the heavens?" The Xiao Clan's Patriarch's expression changed. His eyes shone brightly as he asked, "That person was an Essence Soul Paragon?"
Ji Tianxing nodded and said in a serious tone, "That senior observed the heavens and the world and played chess with the heavens for 8,000 years. He went through nine Heavenly Tribulations and finally broke through the void and went to another continent."
"Another continent?" The Xiao Clan's Patriarch's expression changed drastically as he stood up.
He was so agitated that the white beard on his chin was trembling. He grabbed Ji Tianxing's arm and asked, "You know all this? Do you know how to go to that continent?
Is it only by entering that continent can one see the secrets of the Heavenly Tribulations and becoming a Saint? "
Obviously, the Xiao Clan's Patriarch knew very little about the other continent, but he yearned for it.
Ji Tianxing shook his head lightly and said calmly, "I have just entered the Soul Tempering Stage and have only heard about the other continent recently. I know very little about it.
How would I know the way to go to that continent? "
The Xiao Clan's Patriarch nodded slightly and calmed down. He sat back down on the stone bench.
He looked at Ji Tianxing expressionlessly and asked in a deep voice, "You are the Ji Tianxing that Xiao Han mentioned in the letter?"
"That's right, I am," Ji Tianxing replied in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.
The Xiao Clan's Patriarch said calmly, "No matter how famous you are in the Middle Ground, it has nothing to do with me. The Xiao Clan has never interfered in the affairs of the continent.
This old man has already ordered Xiao Han to bring you here after the Holy Fire Festival.
You came uninvited and trespassed into my cave abode. Aren't you afraid that I will punish you? "
Ji Tianxing saw that he was showing signs of anger, but he was not worried. He smiled and said, "Senior, please don't be angry. Please listen to my story.
A thousand years ago, the Ancient Demon Emperor wreaked havoc in the world. He invaded the Middle Ground and cruelly massacred millions of people.
At that time, a peerless prodigy appeared in the human race. He single-handedly defeated the army of a million demons and killed the Ancient Demon Emperor with one sword. He sealed him in the Tianchen Region.
A few years later, the chaos of the demons was quelled, and this peerless prodigy became the publicly acknowledged strongest person in the continent.
With just one sword, he broke all the laws in the world and killed all the strong enemies!
Everyone in the world called him Kenshin! "
Hearing this, the Xiao Clan's Patriarch's expression changed drastically. His deep eyes surged with light, and his expression became extremely solemn.
Ji Tianxing continued, "Everyone thinks that Kenshin is arrogant, cold, and heartless. He will never take in disciples in his life.
However, very few people know that although Kenshin does not take in disciples, he once guided a few young talents and taught four young geniuses.
Among the four, one of them happened to have the surname Xiao!
Senior, don't you think this is very coincidental? "
After saying that, he looked at the Xiao Clan's Patriarch with a smile.
The Xiao Clan's Patriarch frowned. His entire body was wrapped in a layer of coldness, and a majestic Divine Spirit power was accumulated in his body.
He stared at Ji Tianxing warily and asked in a cold voice, "Kid, who are you? How do you know this secret? "
Ji Tianxing looked straight at him. His chest was open, and he said righteously, "The successor of the Sword God."
"Hahahaha …" The Xiao Clan's Patriarch raised his head and laughed loudly. His entire body erupted with rage, and his aura skyrocketed.
"Ridiculous! The Sword God had already fallen a thousand years ago. How old are you?
How dare you tease me like this? Aren't you afraid that I'll break your neck? "
Before Ji Tianxing could speak, the ancient voice of the Burial Of Heaven came from the broken sword.
