This time, it was no longer just an ordinary opportunity, but something related to the Ling Mountain, attracting everyone's attention. As a result, many proud sons of heaven walked out from the cultivation holy land, rushing towards the most sacred mountain.
As a result, an extremely spectacular sight appeared in the Nine Realms. There were tens of thousands of people flying in the sky, and it was a rare sight.
The Great Sage Ruins, in a concealed space, this space was extremely desolate. Wind blew, and sand filled the sky, as if it was a lonely place with very few traces of human life.
In the very center of the region was a statue of a person standing tall in the middle. It looked extremely similar to the statue in the necropolis. It was also a statue of a Grand Sage, although it was much smaller, and even more realistic.
At this moment, two silhouettes appeared in this desolate area. They were none other than Jiang Fengjue and the marquis.
The two looked at each other. Jiang Fengjue's expression was calm, while Hou Sheng's was filled with anger as if he was in a bad mood.
"You were the one who pulled me in?" Hou Sheng squinted his eyes as he asked the opposite party with an extremely arrogant tone.
"Otherwise?" Jiang Fengjue replied indifferently.
Hou Sheng surveyed his surroundings. It was as if sand had entered his eyes. He rubbed his eyes as he mumbled, "I'm looking for a treasure. Who asked you to bring me here?"
"This place is the biggest ruin." Jiang Fengjue looked at Hou Sheng and said lightly, "If you want to find opportunities, then follow me. If you don't want to leave, then stay here. When you do, I will look for you."
After speaking, he walked in a certain direction, leaving the marquis standing there alone.
Hou Sheng's face was filled with shock as he stared at Jiang Fengjue's back. After which, he spat out a sentence, "Who are you, even more arrogant than me?"
Seeing the figure of his back gradually disappearing, a certain person finally abandoned his dignity and shouted, "Hey, wait for me!"
As the two silhouettes walked through the sandstorm, a raging wind gusted by. The space around them transformed into a sandstorm, wanting to annihilate them. However, the two of them maintained their composure as they continued walking forwards, allowing the sandstorm to strike them.
The sand in the wind became more and more terrifying, and gradually, it seemed as if there was some kind of Great Dao Power hidden within the storm. It was especially sharp, and could even pierce through a person's skin.
"Swish …" An enormous storm wrapped around their bodies, faintly tearing their clothes apart.
Jiang Fengjue furrowed his brows. As he took a step forward, illusory silhouettes appeared around him, all of them appearing to be Jiang Fengjue's shadows, as though they were endless. Many of them advanced at the same time, forming a powerful force field that blocked the incoming storm, preventing it from nearing his body.
On the other hand, a black long rod appeared in the hands of the marquis. His arm trembled and he continuously swung his staff, destroying the storm in front of him.
After an unknown amount of time, the two of them finally arrived at the heart of the region. Jiang Fengjue inclined his head and looked up, only to see a humanoid statue standing there.
It was unknown how long that statue had been standing there. Its face was still rosy, and its eyes were filled with life, as though it was alive.
Hou Sheng stared at the statue with a puzzled expression on his face. Why was there a statue here as well?
At this moment, Jiang Fengjue walked past him, arriving three feet away from the statue. He slightly bowed as an expression of extreme respect appeared on his face.
Seeing Jiang Feng Jue's actions, Hou Sheng had a strange look on his face. However, he didn't say anything, and just let Jiang Feng be.
Jiang Fengjue stood there for a long time before he finally said, "Master, I'm late!"
"Disciple?"
The Hou Sheng's expression froze as he felt that his mind was in a mess. He actually heard this person call the statue Master. This was simply …
Even though Hou Sheng's mind was simple and direct, he was not stupid. He knew that the statue was of the True Lord Taishang and that the True Lord Taishang was an extremely powerful figure in the Xia Wang Jie.
Jiang Fengjue was of the same generation as him, and their cultivation was only at the peak of the Middle Rank of Monarch Stage.
Why did these two people suddenly bring up Master and disciple?
Jiang Fengjue turned and cast his gaze at Hou Sheng. From Hou Sheng's expression, one could tell the doubts in his heart. Jiang Fengjue then explained, "I won't hide it from you any longer. True Lord Taishang is my Master."
"Master …" The corners of the marquis' lips twitched as he asked, "Didn't he die a long time ago?"
The implication was that True Lord Taishang had perished for many years, so how could there be an Emperor Realm disciple?
"..." Black lines appeared on Jiang Fengxian's face when he heard this. He suddenly had the urge to beat someone up. This bastard, does he even know how to speak?
"I, Master, am still alive and well!" Jiang Fengjue forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart as he spoke while gritting his teeth.
"Still alive?" The marquis' eyes widened in disbelief as his face darkened. What kind of reaction was this?
However, Hou Sheng did not sense that something was amiss. He pondered for a moment before turning to Jiang Fengjue and asked, "Then where are you, Master?"
"The ends of the earth, the depths of the clouds, and the unknown places all have Master's footprints. I also do not know where he is right now." Jiang Fengjue shook his head. Even though he was Master's direct disciple, he did not know anything about Master's whereabouts.
He walked forward a few steps and heavily patted Jiang Fengjue's shoulder as he said passionately: "Brother, you're not bad ah, you actually managed to get yourself such a strong Master. Doesn't that mean that everything in this ruin belongs to you?"
When the palm strike landed, it caused Jiang Fengjue to shudder unsteadily. He immediately looked at Hou Sheng in anger, "Can you greet him in advance the next time you take action?"
"Eh." Hou Sheng scratched his head before replying in an awkward tone, "Alright, I'll remember it next time!"
Jiang Fengjue shrugged his shoulders while feeling a bit sore. He thought to himself, "This guy really has a lot of strength. Just a casual palm strike actually contained such power. Is this how a simple-minded person should be? His limbs are well-developed?"
However, he didn't dare to say those words out loud as he was afraid that someone would beat him to death …
Not only was this guy's strength heaven-defying, his defense was also freakishly abnormal. What was even more terrifying was that he became braver the more he fought, like a natural born warrior. The more he fought, the stronger he became, and he would never be able to defeat him.
In the underground palace, he had borrowed the power of the statue to suppress the marquis, otherwise, if he were to face this fellow head on, he would probably die of pain before he could even defeat him.
"Do what you need to do. I'll take a look around." Hou Sheng spoke to Jiang Fengjue before turning to leave.
Jiang Fengjue looked at Hou Sheng's departing back in astonishment. He thought to himself that this fellow might seem crude on the surface but he actually knew his limits. Knowing that there were some things he should avoid, he took the initiative to leave.
However, he was the only one who could inherit what Master left behind. Even a saint wouldn't be able to get it.
"Wait a moment, I'll give you something later." Jiang Fengjue told Hou Sheng.
"Got it." Hou Sheng replied. Without turning back, he waved his hand towards the back.
After which, Jiang Fengjue sat in front of the statue as both of his hands formed a seal. His eyes turned incomparably deep as a strange picture appeared, shooting out a beam of violet light, which then shot into the eyes of the statue.
Boom!" A thunderous sound rang out from within the statue, and after which, a surge of vitality gushed out. The eyes of the statue gradually grew more lively, as though it was gradually regaining consciousness. Its complexion also became increasingly rosy, and filled with vitality.
If anyone else were to witness this scene, their heart would definitely be filled with waves of shock.
The legendary figure who had disappeared for countless years had actually come back to life!
In just a few breaths of time, the statue seemed to have completely recovered its vitality. Its eyes were brimming with wisdom and intelligence as it saw through the world's grand dao. All falsehood was shattered with a single glance.
The Grand Sage looked at the silhouette sitting in front of him. A hint of gratification could be seen in his eyes as he smiled and said, "Feng Jue, you're here!"
"I came late, please forgive me, Master." Jiang Fengxian kowtowed with incomparable respect.
"Everything is within the cause and effect. You don't have to feel guilty if you don't say it out loud later." The Grand Sage spoke.
"Disciple understands." Jiang Fengjue nodded. He raised his head to look at the True Lord Taishang with a hint of curiosity in his eyes and asked, "Please forgive this disciple for being presumptuous. May I know where Master is now?"
"I'm cultivating in the Middle Kingdom."
Jiang Feng Jue could not help but be shocked.
What is that place?
"Your cultivation is still shallow, so you will not be able to come in contact with this place. Once your cultivation has reached a higher level, you will naturally know." His smile was extremely kind and gentle, like that of a gentle old man. It gave people a sense of familiarity and familiarity.
"Oh." Jiang Fengjue nodded slightly as he felt a little helpless in his heart. Although he had already cultivated to the Emperor Realm, he was still unable to access Master's cultivation ground. It seemed like he still had a long way to go.
"I have left two abilities for you, one of them is the Elemental Skill technique and the other one is the main Killing technique. You can pass these two techniques down to others, but you need to remember one thing, if one is not talented enough, it is best not to cultivate, otherwise it will be the opposite." True Lord Taishang warned him sincerely and earnestly.
"Disciple will definitely remember this in his heart and will not disappoint Master's expectations." Jiang Fengjue nodded seriously. He had already known this a long time ago.
Master was the person who was in charge of the previous Xia Wang Jie. He was also able to pass down the cultivation techniques and supernatural powers to others, but he only had requirements on talent.
If he let the Hou Sheng in, he would value the Hou Sheng's battle talent. He would definitely be able to cultivate the sacred art Master had passed down and would not have any side effects.
As for the others in the underground palace, it wasn't that he didn't want to pass down his cultivation technique to them, but he didn't want to reveal his identity too early. Otherwise, it would bring him a lot of trouble.
After all, a man's wealth was his own fault!
