Reborn Medicine King

2Jiang Fann wasn't surprised by Mo Jiuyou's thoughts. If this influential figure could stay at Myriad Clouds Mountain, it would undoubtedly benefit the entire Nine Desolations. Although Jiang Fann didn't know Mo Jiuyou very well, he had saved him from the brink of death, and Mo Jiuyou was from the Nine Desolations Palace. Jiang Fann believed he would protect the Nine Desolations, and that was enough for him.    

    

After a brief conversation, Jiang Fann helped him replenish some Natural Aura, then returned to the Star River Cauldron. Seeing Jiang Fann reappear, Wan Chengfeng curiously asked, "You just entered something different from your usual winter treasure. Are you hiding something special in there?"    

    

"Do I seem like that kind of person?"    

    

"It's possible!"    

    

Jiang Fann was a bit speechless, so he explained, "Back at the Ganlei Sect's mountain gate, we first approached a library tower that had sealed a Nine Desolations expert who fought against the Ganlei Sect. He was seriously injured, so I saved him, and he's been recovering in the cave. Of course, on this trip back to the Nine Desolations, I brought him along. He's no longer suited to appear in the Upper Nine Heavens."    

    

Wan Chengfeng was surprised, "There was an expert sealed there? Why didn't you mention it earlier?"    

    

"With the Formation Spirit present, I couldn't show anything, and then I just forgot."    

    

Wan Chengfeng: "..."    

    

...    

    

In the vast world, at the Mountain of Gods, a member of the God Clan approached the clan leader.    

    

"Reporting to the clan leader, I've recruited some groups to settle at the foot of the mountain and serve our clan. They once held significant status, but their territory was reclaimed by the Ancient God Clan. I also gathered some other information from them."    

    

The patriarch, upon hearing this, immediately asked, "What news?"    

    

"News about the Mountain of Gods and the spiritual body of the Great Elder."    

    

This clearly piqued the patriarch's interest, prompting him to have a seat.    

    

"Tell me in detail."    

    

The monk didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "A few years ago, there was a community living here, also calling themselves the God Clan. They were skilled in breaking formations and had a powerful bloodline, likely a branch of our clan. But one day, they suddenly vanished without a trace."    

    

"They were here just a few years ago? It seems they might have left upon hearing of our clan's return. What about the Great Elder?"    

    

"There was once a sighting of a God Clan member with the Purple Jade Eagle Clan. This God Clan monk was following a human youth, likely having pledged allegiance to him."    

    

The patriarch was somewhat surprised. "A human youth?"    

    

"That's right, a human youth. That young man made quite a name for himself in the vast world, accomplishing many significant feats at a young age. He's incredibly skilled, and no clan could handle him, not even those ancient god bloodlines that awakened early. Most of them suffered losses at his hands, and he had no equal among his peers."    

    

"Do we know the identity of this human youth? And why would a human genius emerge in the vast world?"    

    

"We know his identity. He's a human genius named Jiang Fann. As for why humans appeared in the vast world, it dates back to the great catastrophe years ago. It's a long story, but essentially, the vast world opened a portal to the human world and invaded it. That young man, Jiang Fann, came from that world. Additionally, he has close ties with our clan's branch and is rumored to have even married into it."    

    

"Humans from other worlds? The Grand World isn't exactly a powerful realm, yet they dare to invade other worlds? Aren't they afraid of retaliation?"    

    

"It seems that world was even weaker than the Grand World at the time. However, that young man is an anomaly. It's said that before we reawakened, they reopened the passage but suffered a crushing defeat. Those clans have kept tight-lipped about it, not revealing the specifics. But that human cultivator named Jiang Fann is indeed on the other side, and the Elder's spiritual body is among them, having reached the Mortal Separating Stage."    

    

The chieftain nodded and instructed, "Alright, I'm aware of this. Continue organizing those clans and inform them of our rules. Also, bring the Elder to me; I need to have a word with him."    

    

"Understood."    

    

Before long, the Elder entered from outside. They had all reduced their size, standing about ten feet tall, still exuding a formidable presence. The Elder's aura was much more stable than when he first awoke. Upon entering, he asked directly, "What do you need? I've got a lot of matters waiting for me to handle."    

    

"Let them take care of those issues. Tell me about your spiritual body. I've gathered some clues. That spiritual body has indeed signed a master-servant contract with a human and has reached the Mortal Separating Stage. Why did you grant it such power when you first formed it?"    

    

The Elder said, "He's not just a spiritual body. To ensure his power remains unaffected, I not only used my true blood but also a part of my soul when forming him. That's why he influences me so much. Do you know where he is now? I'll bring him back immediately. If his master dares to refuse, I'll destroy him."    

    

"He's not in the Grand World right now; he's in a human world. That's why you can't sense his location."    

    

"Damn it! How could beings from other worlds come to the Grand World for training? It's not even a good place. Is there any way for me to get there now?"    

    

The clan leader then explained the situation in detail.    

    

After hearing the explanation, the Elder wasn't angry; instead, he seemed intrigued.    

    

"Why would they invade that world? There must be a reason."    

    

"I want to know that too, but those groups haven't mentioned it. Other ancient clans returning probably haven't noticed it yet. I think we should capture a few to find out what's going on. We might even gain something unexpected."    

    

The Elder nodded repeatedly. "You're right. I must bring back that spiritual body. If we can also get some other treasures and find the branches, it wouldn't be a bad thing. I want to see who's bold enough to enslave even the God Clan."    

    

"Then I'll leave this matter to you. Many groups were involved in that invasion; someone must know the reason. It's best to keep this confidential for now and reveal it only after the investigation is complete."    

    

"Alright, I'll take care of it right away. You can count on me."    

    

Just as the Elder was about to leave, the sharp cry of an eagle echoed from above. Both men sensed a powerful presence and left the hall together. They reached the plaza just as a figure in purple descended from the sky, facing them without the slightest hint of fear, exuding an aura that matched theirs.    

    

"What brings you to our Mountain of Gods?" the newcomer asked directly.    

    

"Do you know of Jiang Fann?"    

    

...    

    

At Myriad Clouds Mountain, inside the Medicine Hut, Tao Zhen was in conversation with several senior members of the Heaven Pavilion. A young voice called from outside the door.    

    

"Sir, when will my master return?"    

    

Soon, the boy appeared at the entrance, looking at Tao Zhen with eager anticipation. Tao Zhen frowned slightly at the sight of the boy, who came by every few days to ask the same question. This was the boy he had personally brought into the mountain, the one who had waited so long outside the Heaven Pavilion gates—Jia Yi.    

    

Seeing so many senior members present, the boy felt a bit awkward and quickly turned to leave. Tao Zhen's voice stopped him: "You should spend more time on your training. If the Pavilion Master does return, I'll mention your situation to him. There's no need to keep coming here every few days. Also, the Pavilion Master hasn't promised to take you as a disciple yet, so don't call him that lightly."    

    

Jia Yi nodded quickly at Tao Zhen and then hurried off. At that moment, a man dressed in black, radiating a powerful aura, approached from the foot of the mountain and walked straight into the meeting hall.    

    

Upon seeing the visitor, Tao Zhen immediately stood up to greet him.    

    

"Lo Xiao! What brings you here?"    

    

The visitor was none other than Lo Xiao, the feared enforcer of the Netherworld. Years ago, he had stepped forward to protect Jiang Fann in the vast world, and now he had reached the pinnacle of the Mortal Separating Stage. The evolution of the great world had clearly impacted him significantly, and he had advanced his skills considerably over the years.    

    

However, Lo Xiao appeared unusually serious this time, unlike his usual relaxed demeanor during visits. Seeing this, Tao Zhen also adopted a serious tone, sensing that something important had happened.    

    

"Why so serious? What's going on?"    

    

Lo Xiao got straight to the point.    

    

"There's been a change in the situation over in the great world. The chief sent me to inform you all. If possible, it's best to prepare in advance because what happens next is unpredictable."    

    

Tao Zhen was taken aback by this news.    

    

"What happened over there? Didn't you all withdraw to the Nine Desolations?"    

    

Lo Xiao replied, "While we did all withdraw, the Holy Land where we lived for years remains. The chief still has the token to open the sanctuary, but recently, the token suddenly shattered. The chief is certain that the protective formation there has been destroyed, and it was done in an instant with a powerful method. That's beyond what a Mortal Separating Stage cultivator could achieve, and even a half-step Reincarnation Stage expert would find it nearly impossible. So, something must have changed in the great world, and perhaps a stronger presence has emerged."    

    

His expression turned serious as he continued, "Based on the intelligence we've gathered over the years, the changes over there might be due to the world's evolution and the revival of the Ancient God Clan. Their power far exceeds that of the royal families."    

    

"The Ancient God Clan is much stronger than the royals?"    

    

Luo nodded. "Stronger is an understatement. Legend has it that the royal families are merely offshoots of the Ancient God Clan's bloodline, possibly even their servants. If it weren't for the upheaval in the world back then, forcing the Ancient God Clan into seclusion, the royals would never have risen to power. In short, the Ancient God Clan is vastly superior, with many masters of reincarnation among them. We can't predict what changes will come next."    

    

Tao Zhen's expression grew very serious. "I need to discuss this with Lord Shen Mu. Come with me."    

    

"Alright!"    

    

The two turned and left the conference hall, leaving the other senior members of the Heaven Pavilion to discuss the situation. Everyone looked grave. The invasion by the royal families had already cost them dearly, leaving them in fear for years. The emergence of an even stronger group was hard for them to accept.
