After Hu Qiongqi and Hu Guiyuan returned to the Hu Clan that day, they immediately went to the ancestral shrine. After searching for a while, they finally found the flame pattern. However, when they found out the answer, both of them were shocked speechless.
That day, the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan held a secret meeting. Only six people participated in this meeting. In order to keep it a secret, the location was set up in a secret room in the Hu Clan that was heavily guarded.
"What? The Sacred Flame Insignia! How is this possible? "
In the secret room, an old man with white hair and beard looked at Hu Guiyuan and Hu Qiongqi in disbelief. His usually calm face could no longer be calm. All his self-restraint had disappeared at this moment.
He was Hu Guiyuan's grandfather, Hu Tianfeng. He was the person with the highest seniority in the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan. He had later stage Embryonic Breathing realm Cultivation and was known as the number one expert in the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan. It was because of his existence that the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan could be ranked among the top of the eight big ancient martial arts aristocratic families.
"Great-grandfather, it's absolutely true. I definitely didn't see wrongly."
Hu Qiongqi said with certainty. That day, Mo Wen's body had indeed been surrounded by seven flames that looked like the Sacred Flame Insignia. According to legend, there were also seven pieces of the Sacred Flame Insignia. He couldn't have seen wrongly. Moreover, his father, Hu Guiyuan, couldn't have seen wrongly as well.
"It's actually the Sacred Flame Insignia!"
In the secret room, an old man in a blue robe gasped. His eyes were dull and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. That was the legendary sacred object. Back then, when the Sacred Flame Insignia appeared, it could command everywhere. No one dared to disobey it. Now, it had actually appeared in real life.
Among the six people present, other than Hu Guiyuan and Hu Qiongqi, the remaining four were the only four strong practitioners in the Embryonic Breathing realm in the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan. They had very high seniority in the clan and didn't go out all year round. The younger generations of the Hu Clan rarely saw them. This time, when they discovered such a shocking secret, they all came out of seclusion.
"What's so special about the martial arts method that the youth is practicing?"
Hu Tianfeng's expression was solemn as he looked at Hu Qiongqi and asked. If the outside world knew about the appearance of the Sacred Flame Insignia, the impact would be too great. It would be enough to cause a huge earthquake in the ancient martial arts world. This was especially so for those forces that were more or less related to the thousand-year-old Ming Cult.
"The cultivation technique he cultivates is very strange, sometimes it's cold, sometimes it's hot. I'm guessing that he cultivates two cultivation techniques, one with the cold attribute and one with the fire attribute. However, both of them are not simple, especially the fire attribute cultivation technique. Once it's used, he can turn into a golden man, as if he's made of steel, almost invulnerable."
Hu Qiongqi recalled. He had never fought with Mo Wen face to face before. However, through some observation, he was able to discover some things. That strange golden body was able to take on the sword aura unleashed by the Great Ancestor of the Jiang family and come out unscathed. Even steel was probably not as tough as that.
"Golden Man … Invulnerable …"
Hu Tianfeng frowned thoughtfully. After thinking for a while, he suddenly widened his eyes and said with some shock, "Could it be the Nine Yang Divine Technique? It is said that those who cultivate the Nine Yang Divine Technique can use the Indestructible Body of Vajra. Their entire body is impenetrable, and even divine weapons will find it difficult to injure them."
"Nine Yang Divine Technique!"
Almost everyone, including Hu Qiongqi, gasped. They knew the Ming Cult very well, and at the same time, they knew what the Nine Yang Divine Technique meant. It was an exceptional divine technique that had not appeared for hundreds of years, but it had actually appeared, along with the Sacred Flame Insignia.
"That … Is that possible?" Hu Qiongqi swallowed his saliva.
"If that thing is really the Sacred Flame Insignia, the appearance of the Nine Yang Divine Technique is also very reasonable. Moreover, the ancient martial arts world has always suspected that although the Ming Cult was destroyed, it had secretly left behind a complete inheritance. After the calamity, the Sacred Flame Insignia, the Nine Yin Divine Technique, and many other treasures of the Ming Cult disappeared without a trace and did not fall into the hands of others, "Hu Tianfeng said plainly.
The destruction of the Ming Cult had been studied by many sects in the ancient martial arts world. In other words, until now, many ancient martial arts influences had coveted the treasures of the Ming Cult.
That year, the tragedy that happened in the Gong Clan had caused a stir in the entire ancient martial arts world. It was all because of the Ming Cult's treasures.
"Grandfather, what you mean is that Mo Wen has most likely obtained the Ming Cult's inheritance?" Hu Qiongqi asked.
"If he has practiced the Nine Yang Divine Technique and is in possession of the Sacred Flame Insignia, then he must have obtained the Ming Cult's inheritance."
Hu Tianfeng nodded his head and said. The Sacred Flame Insignia and the Nine Yin Divine Technique had disappeared for hundreds of years. Now that they had appeared at the same time, there was only one explanation. Someone had obtained the Ming Cult's inheritance. The true successor of the Ming Cult had appeared.
"Old Clan Leader …"
Hu Guiyuan and a few elders of the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan gasped when they heard this. They all looked at Hu Tianfeng with fervent gazes. The Ming Cult's inheritance was astonishing. It was an ancient cult with thousands of years of inheritance. It was simply unimaginable.
"Are all of you tempted?"
Hu Tianfeng looked at the clan members and said plainly.
"Old Clan Leader, if the Ming Cult's inheritance falls into our hands, we will definitely be able to make the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan famous in the ancient martial arts world and become a top-notch influence."
One of the clan elders said with fervent gazes. He was rather eager to try and seize the Sacred Flame Insignia and the Nine Yin Divine Technique immediately. Then, he would interrogate them about the location of the Ming Cult's inheritance.
"With just you guys? That is courting death. "
Hu Tianfeng said plainly. His eyes were still clear. He had not lost his rationality because of the huge treasure.
"Don't act rashly!"
Hu Qiongqi also shook his head. Although the Ming Cult's inheritance was very attractive, their Hu Clan could not afford it. Could it be that they had forgotten about the tragedy of the Gong Clan? That was merely a guess that the Gong Clan had something to do with the Ming Cult's treasure. There was no concrete evidence to prove it, yet the entire Gong Clan had been completely annihilated.
The Ghost Physicians Hu Clan was far from the Gong Clan of the past. If they had anything to do with the Ming Cult's inheritance treasure, it would definitely lead to the annihilation of the entire clan.
Moreover, the Ming Cult's inheritance was in Mo Wen's hands. That terrifying youth could even kill an ancient martial art practitioner at the pinnacle of the Embryonic Breathing realm. With just him alone, the entire Ghost Physicians Hu Clan would not be a match for him.
"Then, what should we do now?"
Hu Guiyuan frowned and asked. He had also thought that the Hu Clan did not have the ability to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. Disregarding the other risks, they were not a match for Mo Wen alone.
"Pretend that you don't know anything. No one can speak of this matter. Not even a word can be revealed. Otherwise, it will definitely lead to a disaster for the clan."
Hu Tianfeng said with a serious expression. He was an old thing who had lived for more than a hundred years, so he understood many things very well. If this news were to be spread by the Hu Clan, then the Hu Clan would not be able to have peace in the future. Those who coveted the Ming Cult's inheritance would all swarm over and directly trample the Hu Clan to the ground.
There was no logic in the ancient martial arts world. Everything was about strength. Back then, because the Gong Clan could not reveal the exact location of the Ming Cult's treasure, such a huge clan was annihilated overnight. Back then, the Gong Clan had a terrifying strong practitioner in the Golden Elixir realm, but they still could not stop those crazy people.
After that, it was also proven that the Gong Clan indeed did not know where the Ming Cult's treasure was. However, such a big clan had destroyed it without any reason.
With the Gong Clan as an example, even if the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan knew the news of the Ming Cult's treasure, they definitely could not reveal it.
"Great-grandfather, it is said that a few hundred years ago, the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan had a deep relationship with the Ming Cult," Hu Qiongqi asked.
When he was very young, he already knew that his clan had a relationship with the Ming Cult. This was because in the ancestral shrine, there were many descriptions of the Ming Cult, including the history of the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan's inheritance. The appearance of the Sacred Flame Insignia was also recorded in the ancestral shrine.
Hence, when he first saw the Sacred Flame Insignia, he felt a sense of familiarity. However, only the direct descendants of the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan could enter the ancestral shrine. There were not many people in the clan who knew this secret. Naturally, it was even more impossible for the people in the ancient martial arts world to know the history of the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan.
"Our Ghost Physicians Hu Clan was one of the factions that split from the Ming Cult. However, compared to those extremely powerful factions, our Ghost Physicians Hu Clan is very insignificant."
Hu Tianfeng nodded his head. Very few people knew about the relationship between the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan and the Ming Cult in the past. In reality, the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan had a very special position in the Ming Cult. They specialized in inheriting the Ming Cult's medical skills. Throughout the generations, the clan members were all famous miracle physicians and were not good at fighting.
However, the great calamity that year had also affected the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan greatly. They had lost more than half of their inherited skills. Many things were lost in the chaos of the war. Until now, the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan's attainments in the medical skills were not even comparable to the Medicine Manor's.
"Since that youth has received the Ming Cult's inheritance, he must be carrying the mission of rebuilding the Ming Cult. Do you think that if he knew about the relationship between our Ghost Physicians Hu Clan and the Ming Cult in the past, would he attack us?"
One of the clan elders frowned and said. The Ghost Physicians Hu Clan had developed until now and had separated from the Ming Cult for hundreds of years. They had long become an independent clan. Now, the members of the Hu Clan did not have any sense of belonging to the Ming Cult.
In fact, many of the factions that split from the Ming Cult did not even dare to say that they were related to the Ming Cult in the past. This was because everyone was afraid of being involved in the whirlpool of the Ming Cult's treasures. In the past hundreds of years, the number of Ming Cult's factions that had been destroyed because of that treasure could not be counted with two hands. Among them, there was no lack of great factions that were much stronger than the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan.
"What we're worried about now isn't whether or not that young man will target our Ghost Physicians Hu Clan. Let's not talk about whether or not he knows about the relationship between our Ghost Physicians Hu Clan and the Ming Cult. Even if he knows, we're just a small fry in his eyes. There are too many powerful forces that have split from the Ming Cult. They might not all agree to him rebuilding the Ming Cult. Those powerful forces are his opponents. "
Hu Tianfeng shook his head and said faintly, "If he can really rebuild the Ming Cult, then it is not a bad thing for us to return to the Ming Cult. Perhaps we can even find the lost medical skills of our ancestors."
"If he can't do it …" Hu Guiyuan frowned. The number of people who coveted the Ming Cult's inheritance was not just a few. Almost everyone in the ancient martial arts world coveted it. Moreover, this included those who had originally split from the Ming Cult.
It could be said that if the news of the Ming Cult's inheritance were to spread, that young man would be in great danger. It was hard to say whether he could survive or not.
"If he can't do it, he will naturally fall into eternal damnation, and we will pretend that we don't know anything."
Hu Tianfeng said lightly. (To be continued.)
