Wang Shang's tone was no longer as scholarly as before, as he said in a much more amiable tone. "In any case, it's just something like that. Now that that bastard has been destroyed by me as well, I still can't take this lying down. That's why I built this before I ascended, just to make that bitch go down in history. Although I can't see it, just thinking about it makes me feel good. In any case, to be able to understand my incantation and open this door, he definitely isn't a simple person. At the very least, he should be the same kind of person as the person who taught me those special words back then. So be it then, you can do whatever you want with this palace. "
After saying that, the image flashed, and disappeared.
Zhu Yao's heart trembled for a moment because of his final words. Ever since she saw the riddle on the True Heart Door, she felt that something was amiss. Now, she finally recalled it. Those curses were too modern! Why would this person who had ascended for hundreds of thousands of years know about them? And from the meaning of the image, those words were taught to him by someone else, and others definitely wouldn't be able to understand them.
Then who was the person who taught him? Could it be that there was someone like her who had transmigrated to this world?
— — — —
Zhu Yao exited the great hall and looked around. Only then did she realize that this tycoon's palace was extraordinarily huge. It could even be said to be the size of a sect. The various mystic arts inside were extremely complete, and there were even specialized pill rooms, artifact rooms, and talisman rooms. Various items that could cause practitioners to go crazy were piled up inside.
As someone who had even lived in the Divine Realm, Zhu Yao did not have much interest. I've seen good stuff before, so I don't fancy these at all.
She casually picked up a bottle of seventh rank pellets and an eighth rank mystic artifact. She saw that a special formation was engraved on both the mystic artifact and the bottle of pellets. When she recognized what that formation was, the corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched, and a dark expression surfaced on her face.
She suddenly understood what that Daoist Wang Shang meant when he said he wanted Cheng Qingdiao to go down in history.
This Daoist Wang Shang sure … had a lot of ideas.
She really wanted to give him thirty-two likes.
Zhu Yao sighed, shook her head, and then turned to walk out of the hall. It was time to head out and report to the crickets.
The moment she opened the door, the dozen or so high-ranking officials who had been waiting outside all bowed down to her.
"This disciple greets senior-martial aunt!"
"…" What's going on? Zhu Yao's footsteps stopped, and she was given a fright. He glanced at the only person he knew, Qu Qu. Explain, friend!
Qu Qu turned his face to the side, looking unhappy.
"Martial Uncle." Headmaster Qu Jiang took a step forward and explained, "When Old Ancestor Wang Shang ascended, he left behind instructions that anyone who could enter this hall would be his successor. All the items in the hall belonged to him. You're Ancestor Wang Shang's disciple now, so it's only right for us to call you Martial Uncle. "
Could he refuse? She had her master to tell her.
"Sect Master is too polite." Zhu Yao chuckled. She, a Foundation practitioner, was being called senior-martial aunt by a group of Nascent Soul practitioners? Wasn't this just courting death? This wasn't Ancient Hill Sect after all, and her powerful master wasn't by her side either. "I'm just a mere Foundation practitioner, how can I hold such a high position?"
"Martial Uncle Zhu, these are the teachings of our ancestors. We will never dare to forget them." His face was resolute.
"Sect Master, it's truly a coincidence that I entered this hall. I don't dare to covet the items inside, much less become your martial uncle. This hall belongs to Ness Cesary Sect in the first place, so I'll return it to Sect Master now. " As she said that, she even returned the mystic artifact and pellet that she casually took out earlier to him.
Qu Jiang was startled, as though he did not dare to believe that she would so easily hand over such a huge treasure trove, and she even had the intention to leave. In his heart, he was both worried and happy.
"Martial Uncle Zhu, wait a moment!" Qu Jiang walked over, sighed, and said with a suppressed voice. "Martial Uncle, I'll tell you the truth. Other than you, no one else can enter. That password only recognizes the first person who speaks it. "
"…" So the reason they called her senior-martial uncle, was because they wanted her to be a porter. "Then give me a few storage pouches. I'll go in and bring out the items inside for you. That should be fine, right?"
Qu Jiang's eyes shone for a moment, and then immediately darkened again. "You can't. If Ness Cesary Sect were to obtain so many treasures in a short period of time, it will definitely become the target of everyone. The inside of this hall is the safest place. "
I'm actually going to show you treasures, right?
"Martial uncle, please think of the bigger picture, and protect my Ness Cesary Sect."
"I'm just a Foundation practitioner." She was just a newcomer, was it really alright to push the responsibility onto her? And she still had to look for bugs, she didn't have the time to look at treasures here.
"Martial uncle, please be at ease. As long as you agree to stay, I, Ness Cesary Sect, will definitely use the power of the entire sect to protect martial uncle's safety."
Zhu Yao pondered for a moment. The matter of her solving the riddle today and entering Skybond Peak would most likely spread throughout the entire cultivation world very soon. Though there were countless treasures in this hall, it was not enough to cover up her low cultivation level. Indeed, she had to find a backer. Qu Jiang's suggestion was just right. She hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she still nodded.
Hence, after joining Ancient Hill Sect, she became their Sect Master's senior-martial uncle.
The difference was, her senior-martial uncle in the past was a legitimate one, while her current senior-martial uncle, was merely a doorkeeper uncle!
Qu Jiang joyfully bowed towards her, and then, he took a look at the pellet she had stuffed into his hands earlier.
"Senior-martial uncle, I wonder how do I dispel the formation on this bottle?"
The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. She pointed to the formation on the door of the great hall, and said. "It's the same formation as the one above. Just shout out once, and the password I shouted out when I entered the hall earlier will be dispelled. "
Qu Jiang was startled. After pondering for a moment, he picked up the bottle, and with an incomparably stern and serious expression, he loudly said. "Cheng Qingdiao, bitch!"
Kuh kuh kuh …
Zhu Yao could not help but choke on her saliva.
The formation on the bottle was dispelled. Qu Jiang poured out the pellet to take a look, and his eyes suddenly widened. "This is … Nascent Soul Pellet!" And it was a total of six pellets. These were pellets used to raise one's Azoth Core to Nascent Soul. With these, it meant that the sect would have six more Nascent Soul practitioners.
Qu Jiang was so excited that his hands began to tremble. He picked up the mystic artifact in his other hand, and it was actually a seventh rank mystic artifact. However, it was still sealed by a formation. He once again looked towards Zhu Yao.
"Senior-martial uncle?"
Zhu Yao's expression darkened. "Dispel the password. It's the same as earlier."
Hence, Qu Jiang once again loudly shouted out. "Cheng Qingdiao, bitch!"
The mystic artifact's formation was dispelled once again!
That's right! The method that Wang Shang thought of to make Cheng Qingdiao go down in infamy for ten thousand years, was to engrave the exact same formation on every single item he left behind. If he wanted to use them, he had to first scold Cheng Qingdiao.
Forget about the pellets and talismans. After all, they were single-use consumables, so a single scolding would be enough. Mystic artifacts and cultivation arts, on the other hand, were miserable. Every single time he used a mystic artifact, or activated a cultivation art, he would have to scold a bitch. Especially if someone were to choose these mystic artifacts as their Life Artifact, wouldn't he have to help him scold them for the rest of his life!?
This Daoist Wang Shang was definitely an incredible person. There was no need to explain himself.
Thinking about it, not long later, a popular phrase would rise in the entire cultivation world: Cheng Qingdiao, bitch!
No matter if it was fighting, consuming pellets to raise his cultivation, or meditating, everyone would scold him for no reason. It was no wonder Wang Shang would say that. Whenever he imagined this scene, he would feel great. This feeling of having the entire world helping him scold others, it was indeed great!
"Senior-martial aunt, I wonder what this bitch means?" Qu Jiang's face was filled with curiosity. "This disciple has been in the cultivation world for so many years, but I have never heard of such a pond?"
What if she couldn't answer such a deep question?
"Haah, Sect Master … Junior-martial nephew, actually, this concept is too profound, and I don't know the full meaning either. However, after solving the riddle of Trueheart Gate, there's only this mystic art. It seems like if I want to know the answer, I can only ask the ascended Daoist Wang Shang. "
Qu Jiang nodded, and said with a yearning look. "Old Ancestor's comprehension towards the Heavenly Dao is truly unfathomable."
Zhu Yao: "…" It's not the slightest bit deep, alright?
If I tell you that he's only scolding people, you will collapse, right?
Qu Jiang was about to sigh a few more times, when he received a voice transmission from a disciple of the Main Mountain, saying that all the new disciples who entered Trueheart Gate had woken up, and he was invited to host the disciple acceptance ceremony. Only then did he recall those new disciples who had collapsed on the ground.
While he was at it, he dragged Zhu Yao along to join in the fun, and test her aptitude as well.
Qu Jiang had a hundred and twenty percent confidence in Zhu Yao. After all, a person who could solve the riddle of Trueheart Gate, and was even acknowledged by Skybond Peak, her aptitude definitely wouldn't be too bad. Even if she was a little old, he firmly believed that it was because she had started cultivating late. With his Ness Cesary Sect's power, it wasn't impossible for her to form her Azoth Core before her lifespan ends. When the time comes to reconstruct her physical body, things like age wouldn't be a problem at all.
He was filled with confidence towards senior-martial aunt Zhu.
However, the moment he tested her Spirit Veins, he was instantly dumbfounded. Five Elements Trash Spirit Veins!
No, this isn't real. He wanted to climb up to the heavens, and chat about life with that Old Ancestor! Crash!
— — — —
Poor aptitude meant low cultivation, short lifespan, and no one could enter Skybond Peak, and no one could ever obtain the treasures inside.
After understanding this cruel fact, Qu Jiang felt that his entire person wasn't good.
"Sect Master, the new disciples are already waiting outside." A disciple came in and bowed, before reminding. "Do you want to let the wandering disciples in first?"
Qu Jiang glanced at Zhu Yao at the side, and his heart felt stifled. With a wave of his hand, he said. "Let the mortal disciples in first." Right now, he did not wish to see wandering practitioners.
Zhu Yao rubbed her nose. Her poor Spirit Veins wasn't her fault, it was all Realmspirit's doing.
"Umm, if there's nothing else, I'll be heading down first." At a time like this, it was best if she did not strike a blow to his confidence.
"Senior-martial aunt!" Qu Jiang pulled onto Zhu Yao, and said with a tearless voice. "From today onwards, I beg of you to go into closed-door cultivation, alright?" For the sake of Ness Cesary Sect, she had to study hard, and improve every day.
"…" Alright, headmaster!
"Junior-martial brother Qu, immediately bring senior-martial aunt to the Art Depository. No matter what level of Arts it is, there's no need to restrict them.
Qu Qu nodded, and stood up as well.
