He Wudi's words moved Jun Changxiao's heart.
Since he had inherited the Xuanyuan Domain and had dominated the Star System Competition, it meant that he would face the Celestial Devil Emperor sooner or later. It would be best if he could break through to a higher realm as soon as possible.
To put it bluntly …
Jun Changxiao had just entered the Divine Mystery Realm, and he was already thinking about the next realm. It was not to search for eternal life but to have the ability to fight against the enemy.
"However …"
He Wudi said, "I don't recommend Patriarch to comprehend the remnant scroll now."
"Why?" Jun Changxiao asked.
"Because …"
He Wudi said with a serious expression, "The remnant scroll left by Senior Qixuan still hides the mystery of entering the Saint Venerable realm!"
"The strongest realm in the Land of Eternal Life?" Jun Changxiao asked.
"Yes."
"…"
Jun Changxiao was shocked.
Although he had not been to that world, there were levels, and it was the strongest level. Everyone would definitely yearn for it.
Senior Qixuan had integrated his understanding of the Great Dao into the remnant scroll and even hid the mystery of the Saint Venerable. Such a powerful person … could he be my father?
The system said, "Why is your face so big?"
"I understand what you mean."
Jun Changxiao said, "Instead of comprehending the mysteries of the remnant scroll with my current realm, I might as well enter a higher realm to comprehend it."
"That's right."
He Wudi nodded.
The mysteries left by Senior Qixuan in the remnant scroll were the greatest opportunity in the world. Once comprehended, it would be gone. It had to be used at the most appropriate time, such as after breaking through to the Saint Venerable realm.
He had thought the same back then and even went against the principle of 'staying low' to snatch the remnant scroll. In the end, his level was reset to zero.
"That's not right."
Jun Changxiao said, "If I comprehend the mysteries, will I directly enter the Saint Venerable realm?"
"…"
He Wudi almost fainted.
As a Patriarch, I'm really daring to think about it.
Even if this conjecture was true, the upper universe could not accommodate a Saint Venerable.
…
After He Wudi left, Jun Changxiao took out the seven incomplete scrolls.
In fact, he had long known that there was a profound mystery hidden within. Every time he broke through a great realm, he would pry into it, but in the end, he didn't get anything.
"I don't understand!"
"I still don't understand!"
Jun Changxiao spent the entire night researching and howling in pain.
The System said, "This kind of remnant book that contains profound meaning is the same as cultivation. You never know when you'll be able to comprehend it in a daze."
"That's true."
Jun Changxiao gave up on comprehending and focused on the development of the sect and the cultivation of the disciples.
…
Swish!
Swish!
In the bamboo forest, the sword light was as fast as lightning.
Clang — — —
After a while, Zhou Hong sheathed his sword and stood with his head lowered amidst the dancing leaves. He looked like a swordsman of a generation.
Pa pa pa!
The falling leaves suddenly separated into strips.
The size and scale were just right, as if they had been uniformly divided by a fixed machine.
Jian Xiaohong opened her mouth in disbelief.
Beside her stood a disheveled old man. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Zhou Hong. His gaze was similarly suffused with surprise.
Although this person was a little sloppy, he was famous in the Ruins of End and even the entire upper realm.
That's right.
He was the Ruins of End Sword Saint that even Gu Tianxing had to respect.
There was no sword energy around Jian Guixu. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary old man.
"Kid."
He said in a deep voice, "Who taught you the Ling Jian Divine Art?"
Zhou Hong was rather surprised. "Senior, how do you know this sword art?"
"Cut the crap." Jian Guixu said, "Answer me, who taught you!"
"This sword art is a unique secret manual of the Sect of All Times," Zhou Hong said.
"Bullshit!"
Jian Guixu roared, "I created the Ling Jian Divine Art!"
"…"
Zhou Hong was at a loss.
'It's clearly a martial art of my sect, but he insists that he created it. This swordsman is a little shameless.'
"Hmph!"
Jian Xiaohong said, "No wonder the secret manual is gone. So it was stolen by the Sect of All Times!"
The surprise she showed just now was not because Zhou Hong's sword art was superb, but because it was clearly a martial art created by her grandfather. How could an outsider learn it!
"Miss Jian!"
Zhou Hong said, "Please don't slander me!"
As a disciple of the Sect of All Times, he naturally could not allow himself to be slandered.
But the truth?
Forget it, let's not talk about it. Little Doo gets angry at the mention of it. He would probably point at Gou Sheng's nose and scold him for three days and three nights.
"How long have you been cultivating this Ling Jian Divine Art?" Jian Guixu asked.
"More than 30 years."
"What?"
Jian Guixu's eyes widened.
"Impossible!" Jian Xiaohong said, "Although the Ling Jian Divine Art was created by my grandfather on a whim when he was young and there are many imperfections, how can you comprehend it in just a few decades!"
"It's fine if you don't believe me," Zhou Hong said.
"I do."
Jian Guixu said.
According to the time the sword art was lost, it was exactly 30 years. He was sure that Jian Guixu was not lying.
"Grandfather!"
Jian Xiaohong was still doubtful. "How can he do something that even I can't do!?"
Jian Guixu smiled and said, "Although your talent in the Sword Dao is strong, there's always someone better. It's not like there aren't people stronger than you in this world."
"…"
Jian Xiaohong was a little unconvinced and secretly glared at Zhou Hong.
"Kid."
Jian Guixu said, "Since you can cultivate the Ling Jian Divine Art, it proves that you and I are fated. Are you willing to acknowledge me as your master and cultivate the Sword Dao?"
"No."
Zhou Hong said, "I want to return to the sect."
"Jun Patriarch was right. This guy has become a fool from practicing the sword," Jian Xiaohong said in a low voice.
Her grandfather was known as the top Sword Dao expert in the upper universe. Many people dreamed of becoming his disciple, but he was actually unwilling.
"I won't force you."
Jian Guixu picked up the leaves on the ground and said, "You can leave at any time."
Whoosh — —
The leaves flew over and brushed past him.
In slow motion, one could clearly see that wherever the leaves passed, cracks would appear in space.
This did not seem to be anything special. Anyone who entered the Truth Seeking Realm could do it. However, Zhou Hong stood rooted to the ground in shock.
It was clearly just a casual wave, and there was no sword energy eruption.
Why did the leaves contain an extremely powerful sword energy when they passed by him?!
A powerhouse!
"Are you curious why a leaf can be condensed into sword energy without sword intent erupting?" Jian Guixu smiled and said, "Acknowledge me as your master and I'll tell you the answer."
"…"
Zhou Hong looked conflicted.
"You're really stupid." Jian Xiaohong could not stand it anymore. She walked to his side and winked at him. "Hurry up and acknowledge the Sword Saint as your master."
Zhou Hong was still in a dilemma. It was not until he recalled the Patriarch's expectant gaze that he cupped his hands and said, "I'm willing to acknowledge Senior Guixu as my master."
"Kneel and kowtow!"
Jian Xiaohong's tone sounded as if she was exasperated at Lu Xuan's failure to meet her expectations.
"I'm sorry," Zhou Hong said, "The Patriarch once said that the disciples of the Sect of All Times do not kneel to the heavens and the earth. They only kneel to their parents."
Jian Xiaohong said, "A master for a day is a father for life."
"This …"
"Forget it, forget it."
Jian Guixu said, "There's no need to care about the formalities."
"Hmph."
Jian Xiaohong curled her lips and said, "Grandpa isn't taking in a disciple. He's taking in a master."
"Speaking of seniority."
Jian Guixu said, "He's my disciple and is of the same generation as your father. As his daughter, you should call him Uncle."
"Huh?"
Jian Xiaohong was dumbfounded.
"From today onwards, you have to call him Uncle Zhou."
"Grandpa, didn't you just say that there's no need to care about the formalities?!"
"Everything else doesn't matter. Seniority can't be messed up."
…
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the Heavenly Secrets Mystic Realm, the momentum of advancement surged crazily.
That's right, someone had broken through again.
This time, it was not a core disciple, but a higher-up of the sect, Ryu Sinan.
The situation of taking half a step into the next realm would appear one after another. The reason was none other than Gou Sheng entering the Heaven's Secret Realm.
"Let me explain."
The system said, "When the host is stuck in a certain realm, the disciples will remain on the spot. When he breaks through, the realm he was in will immediately weaken. The higher-ups and disciples will break through easily. This is Gou Sheng's Law of Realm Advancement."
