When Lin Tian heard this, he followed the gaze of the Ascension Sect Leader and was immediately shocked.
"He is …" Tuo Yelie?! "
He could not help but ask.
The Ascension Sect Leader did not say anything and only nodded lightly.
Lin Tian's expression changed once again. Even though he could easily guess that the Formless Sect's master was Tuo Yelie from back then from the Ascension Gate's master, he still could not help but be shocked when he received the Ascension Gate's master's personal confirmation. The sect leader of this generation of the Formless Immortal Sect, one of the Six Great Immortal Sects, was actually a disciple of the Ascension Sect!
"This …"
"The master of the Formless Immortal Sect, he …"
"How could this be?!"
On the martial arts practice field, all the disciples of the Ascension Sect were shocked, and all of them turned pale with fright.
The twelve reclusive elders were not surprised at all, but their eyes were very cold. Obviously, they knew about this matter.
Lin Tian looked at the Ascension Sect Leader and said, "Sect Leader, then, you were the one who fought with him in the Holy Son Battle …"
The Ascension Sect Leader still did not say anything and nodded his head in loneliness.
With a cold snort, the Formless Sect Leader looked at the Ascension Sect Leader with a sinister expression, "Liu Wuwei, what is the meaning of your loneliness! I was the one who won that battle! The position of Holy Son should have been mine! But that old thing crippled my cultivation for the death of a few trashy disciples and expelled me from the Ascension Dao Sect, allowing you, the loser, to obtain the position of Saint Son. Now, you actually have a lonely expression?! What do you have to be lonely about! "
Staring at the Ascension Sect Leader, the Formless Sect Leader's eyes were sinister.
The Ascension Sect Leader laughed mockingly, "I only feel pity for the previous Sect Leader. He taught you with all his heart and treated you as his own son. He hoped that you could become the Holy Son, that you could inherit the position of the next Sect Leader, that you could protect the Ascension Sect, that you could lead the Ascension Sect to greater heights, and that he was filled with expectations for you …"
"But you, in order to cultivate the forbidden technique, secretly killed the elite disciples of the sect one by one, and used their source energy as cultivation nourishment, breaking the heart of the previous Sect Leader. That year, many elders requested for you to be executed. It was the sect leader who felt endless pressure and guilt towards the elite disciples that you killed, so he spared your life. He only crippled your cultivation and expelled you from the Ascension Dao Sect. As for you, not only are you unrepentant and ungrateful, you even returned to the Ascension Dao Gate with resentment and the intent to destroy. Your teacher, your benefactor, you call him an old bastard. "
The Ascension Gate Sect Master's voice was calm. There was no anger in it, only a hint of desolation. He felt that it was not worth it for the previous Ascension Gate Sect Master.
Beside him, Lin Tian couldn't help but feel anger rising in his heart. A teacher for a day, a father for life. This was what the sages had said. He had always felt that this was the truth and that this was how it should be. The previous Ascension Gate Leader treated Tuo Yelie like that. When Tuo Yelie secretly killed many elite disciples of the sect to use them as nutrients to cultivate the forbidden technique, when many elders demanded that Tuo Yelie be executed, the Ascension Gate Leader bore the boundless pressure alone. With the guilt and sins of those dead elite disciples, he only crippled Tuo Yelie's cultivation and expelled him from the Ascension Gate Sect, giving Tuo Yelie a chance to continue living.
This was a huge favor! A huge favor! However, not only did Tuo Yelie not appreciate it, he even developed resentment. After obtaining greater achievements and returning to the Ascension Gate Sect, he actually wanted to destroy the sect that the previous Ascension Gate Sect Master had spent so much effort on. He actually called his teacher, who was like a father to him, an "old bastard." This made him clench his fists. Even though he also called An Old Drunkard an "old bastard, old bastard," when he called him that, it was with respect from the bottom of his heart. He just felt that it was more intimate than calling him master. However, this Tuo Yelie was clearly different from him.
"Trash!"
He said coldly.
The Formless Gate Sect Master looked over. His eyes were gloomy and filled with killing intent as he stared at Lin Tian.
"You are right. He is trash. Furthermore, he is the dirtiest trash." The Ascension Gate Sect Master said. The ridicule in his eyes became even stronger. His gaze landed on Gu Jianchen who was behind the Formless Gate Sect Master. "Do you want to hear about Gu Jianchen?"
Lin Tian did not say anything. He only nodded silently.
"After the battle with the Saint Child, who knows how many years had passed. The previous Ascension Gate Sect Master abdicated and took over the position of the Great Elder who had passed away. He became the new Ascension Gate Sect Master and I became the new Ascension Gate Sect Master …" The Ascension Gate Sect Master said, "About ten years ago, a youth entered the Ascension Gate Sect. His name is Gu Jianchen. He is eighteen years old and has a heroic appearance."
"Although their ages are different, Gu Jianchen is too similar to Tuo Yelie. They are equally domineering, equally powerful, and equally talented … When the previous Ascension Gate Sect Master, who was already a Great Elder, heard about it, his body trembled. He said to me that he seemed to have seen that person from back then. That person's cultivation was crippled and he was expelled from the sect."
"That year, as an old man past his prime, he bowed and asked the reclusive Elder Li Danyan to come out and accept Gu Jianchen as his disciple. He even gave Gu Jianchen a portion of the Ascension God Technique that only the Saint, Ascension Gate Sect Master, and Great Elder were qualified to cultivate … Back then, when he crippled that person's cultivation, he said that he was guilty and did not teach his disciple well. As a master, he did not teach his disciple well and caused his disciple to go astray. He said that it was his fault …"
"When he saw someone who was almost the same as that person, he wanted to make up for what happened back then. Back then, that person's cultivation was crippled and he was expelled from the sect, so he did not become the Saint. When he saw Gu Jianchen, who was almost the same as that person, he wanted to nurture Gu Jianchen to become the Saint of this generation. He wanted to make up for that man who was crippled and expelled from the sect."
Lin Tian's expression changed. Many disciples of the Ascension Gate trembled as well.
"In reality, back then, after understanding Gu Jianchen's temperament, the reclusive Elders and I all wanted to refuse the previous Ascension Gate Sect Master's request. However, when we saw the grief of an old man past his prime, we all agreed in the end. The previous Ascension Gate Sect Master had given his life's work to the Ascension Gate Sect. Now that he wanted to make up for something, how could we refuse? Even though there was nothing to make up for … Furthermore, I myself had no reason to refuse the previous Ascension Gate Sect Master's request. From a certain perspective, I was the one who replaced the position of the person the previous Ascension Gate Sect Master had high hopes for.
"That year, the reclusive Elder Li Danyan came out and took Gu Jianchen as his disciple. Even though he did not like Gu Jianchen's temperament, he still taught him with all his heart due to the previous Ascension Gate Sect Master's request. He passed on the essence of the Ascension God Sword that the previous Ascension Gate Sect Master had given to Gu Jianchen. He also gave Gu Jianchen a high grade Immortal Sword and his own cultivation experience.
"At that time, we thought that even though Gu Jianchen's temperament was exactly the same as that person's, perhaps he was simply overbearing and arrogant … We did our best to nurture him and gave him all the resources of the sect. We even sided with him in a fair battle of life and death. We had already decided internally that he would become the Saint of this generation, the next Ascension Gate Sect Master …"
The Ascension Gate Sect Master raised his head and glanced at Gu Jianchen. He said mockingly, "It's a pity that the outcome was like this …"
The disciples of the Ascension Gate trembled … No wonder, no wonder the reclusive Elder, who only appeared when the sect was in danger, would personally come out to take in a disciple. No wonder Gu Jianchen had already learned the Ascension God Sword before becoming a Saint. No wonder the Ascension Gate Sect Master would personally ask Lin Tian to spare Gu Jianchen's life when Gu Jianchen lost to Lin Tian in a battle of life and death. As it turned out, everything was because of the previous Ascension Gate Sect Master.
"So it's …"
Even some of the regular elders were shocked. There was actually such a hidden story regarding Gu Jianchen.
Lin Tian's eyes were cold. He glanced at Gu Jianchen and the coldness in his eyes became even denser.
The Ascension Gate Sect Master glanced at Gu Jianchen before his gaze landed on the Formless Gate Sect Master, "When you returned to the Ascension Gate, you valued him at first sight because he had the same personality as you. In reality, he was the same. He was just as sinister and just as despicable. When the sect was in danger, he could abandon his master without any hesitation. He could trample on the sect that had nurtured him so carefully beneath his feet without any hesitation. I didn't think highly of him from the very beginning. "
"I sent an avatar of my soul to guard the Ascension God Tower and went to the Divine Accumulation Pavilion. It was there that I met the youth beside me. When I returned to the Ascension Gate Sect, you asked me why I paid more attention to him than to Gu Jianchen, who was completely confident of becoming the Saint of the Ascension Gate Sect. Do you understand now? The person I valued, even when facing death, could have survived and had a better future waiting for him, still chose to stand by my side. He chose to live and die with the sect. "
The Ascension Gate Sect Master's eyes were filled with pride as he looked at Gu Jianchen and the Formless Gate Sect Master, "Don't you find it ironic?"
Gu Jianchen trembled and his face became extremely pale.
The Formless Gate Sect Master's face became completely gloomy, "Enough! I don't want to hear about the past and Gu Jianchen's matters! Call that old bastard out. Back then, he crippled my cultivation and chased me out of the Ascension Gate Sect. Today, he's sowing a grudge! "
Lin Tian clenched his fists. Sowing a grudge?
What kind of grudge was this?
A sinister, despicable, and ungrateful person. He actually … said that he was sowing a grudge!
The Ascension Gate Sect Master sneered, "That's why I said that the previous sect master was too pitiful. Back then, he let you go under great pressure and gave you a chance to live. In the end, you called him an old bastard and sowed a grudge. How sad is that?" Looking at the Formless Gate Sect Master, the Ascension Gate Sect Master's smile was slightly lonely, "Now, the only thing that can give the sect master some consolation is that he didn't have to feel pain and despair when he saw this scene a few years ago. That's because the two people he valued betrayed him in the end."
When the Ascension Gate Sect Master said this, everyone's expression changed.
The previous Ascension Gate Sect Master and the current Ascension Gate Sect Grand Elder had both passed away a few years ago?!
"What did you say?!" The Formless Gate Sect Master's expression darkened, "That old bastard is already dead!"
Lin Tian's expression changed as well. The Ascension Gate Sect Grand Elder had actually passed away a few years ago?!
"In the past, it was the previous sect master who pushed the Ascension Gate Sect to the top of the twelve sects. When the previous sect master was still a sect master, he had already reached the Great Dao Realm. However, because of what happened back then, he was sad and depressed. In the end, he accumulated an inner demon and died from exhaustion. Originally, he should have had a lifespan of more than a thousand years … "
A trace of sorrow flashed through the Ascension Gate Sect Master's eyes. When his gaze landed on the Formless Gate Sect Master again, his eyes were completely cold, "The previous sect master gave his life to the Ascension Gate Sect, but he died because of you. Now, the Ascension Gate Sect might not be able to escape the calamity of being destroyed, but you won't have it easy either! Today, I'll put a complete end to what happened back then. "
"Even if the sect is destroyed, I'll definitely kill you!"
Boom!
Powerful divine energy rushed out from the Ascension Gate Sect Master's body. The entire world was trembling, and there was actually a strong fluctuation of Dao.
In an instant, everyone was shocked.
"Great Dao Realm?!"
Lin Tian's expression changed.
