Chapter 70: Old Tie Follows

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the previous generation of the Jiuyang Sect, Hao Chen the First Seat was undeniably the number one genius.

If he were to be placed in the Sacred Land, given his talent, he would have a breakthrough to the Primal Spirit Realm, or better yet, to an even higher realm. Even so, he had already reached the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul Realm.

At that moment, he was sitting beneath the stone tablet to avoid anybody from creating chaos.

“Brother,” yelled a blue-clad young man as he waved away the young man who had tried to smash the stone tablet. The man then stepped in the air pacing toward Hao Chen, clasped his hands, and said, “I am Lan Jue from the Lan clan in Zhong Province. We come over to challenge Eastern Region’s geniuses. Well, I’m here now, yet you all set up such conditions for a duel. Is this not humiliating us?”

Hao Chen eased himself at the politeness of the blue-clad young man. He explained, “Ever since the defeat of Zhou Tian, there have been challengers coming to challenge her daily, disturbing our training and being a nuisance. We can only do so to decline them! Moreover, a challenge with a wager seems to be fair”.

“This sounds reasonable!” Lan Jue nodded.

Following that, he glanced at the engraved stone tablet and frowned. “Lunar Stone, Water Crystal, Nine Yin Flower, Acheron Fruit, and Nine Tranquility Water. All these are extreme Yin spiritual items.

“Zi Linglong has the phoenix bloodline, a natural fit for the Dao of Fire. Yet today she is asking for these items. Could it be that her Dao of Fire has sublimed into the Dao of Yang? So she plans to use these waged duels to gain these spiritual items to form a Yin Dao Seed, and then fuse her Yin and Yang Dao Seeds?”

He paused before exclaiming, “Such wild ambition, boldness, and confidence!”

A young man walked over and sounded doubtful. “Brother Lan, is that so? The Yin Dao Seed hasn’t emerged for so many years, and yet she’s trying to fuse Yin and Yang Dao Seeds? I don’t believe it!”

Lan Jue said, “Neither do I. But sometimes you have no choice but to believe that there is a possibility of a miracle!”

Following that, he looked at Hao Chen and asked, “Brother, were my speculations correct?”

Hao Chen’s face remained expressionless.

Lan Jue wasn’t offended because Hao Chen didn’t respond. He then said, “Brother, you are too indifferent. You are not suitable to be guarding the mountain door, but more toward meditation! If what I said is true, then I will give Zi Linglong a big gift! Rest assured that in Zhong Province, my Lan clan, as an ancient clan, keeps our promises even though we aren’t as strong as Sacred Lands!”

At that moment, Zi Linglong paced over from the skies and gave a clenched fist bow to Hao Chen.

She then stared at Lan Jue and said bluntly, “What big gifts? If you lie to me, I will kill you here and now!”

Woosh!

Immediately after that, the top of her head started to burst out with an extreme Yang aura, formidable as it was, swaying even the skies!

She was familiar with the Lan clan. She also knew Lan Jue was a person with temperament. More importantly, he seemed to be really able to provide her the help.

Lan Jue’s pupils shrank as he gasped in astonishment. “It’s Yang Sambodha! The Fire Sambodha itself is already extremely difficult to comprehend! In this world, 99% of the population can only comprehend the branches of the Five Elements’ Sambodha, yet you managed to comprehend the Pure Sun Essence.

“Naturally, you are already a level above normal people! I commend you! Even the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters from the Sacred Lands hold no candle against you. But the thing is, aren’t you worried that you might attract problems out of people’s jealousy?”

Zi Linglong replied indifferently, “Then I’ll just kill them!”

Lan Jue clenched his hand in respect. “Great! Listing down all the items you need is to let them know, akin to showing everyone your cards. Not concealing anything, but showing your ambitious intent. That’s really a show of boldness and confidence. Seems you are trying to mold a strong will into yourself!”

“You seem to have some wisdom in you! Where’s my big gift?” demanded Zi Linglong.

Lan Jue laughed. “These extreme Yin spiritual items that you need are all very rare. If you passively wait for them, I’m not sure how long it will take you to collect even one of them. Rather, why not be aggressive about it? Do you mind if we spread the news of your Yang Sambodha and you trying to form a Yin Dao Seed?”

 Zi Linglong replied, “No, I don’t!”

Lan Jue said, “That’s easy then! Anyhow, since I’m already here, I’ll have to check your skills.”

Zi Linglong accepted his challenge as she replied, “Come on!”

At that moment, she extended her body to a height of thousands of meters.

Lan Jue was ecstatic.

Above the Chuyang Sect…

Jiang Ming gazed afar and couldn’t help but scowl. Inexplicably, he felt a little unhappy and called up his Human Path Records.

Name: Lan Jue

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Cultivation base: Dao Seed Realm

Background: Direct disciple of the secluded Lan clan in Zhong Province (The Lan clan is on par with the first-tier sects)

Relationship: 15

Innate talent: Nine Stars (Wind Spirit Body)

Status: Person of influence in Zhong Province, came to have a look after overhearing about Zi Linglong of the Jiuyang Sect. He knows she is the embodiment of the phoenix bloodline and that she defeated Zhou Tian.

When Jiang Ming read the simple contents, he thought Lan Jue could possibly reach the Extreme Path Realm with his considerably high Nine Stars innate talent. He also shook his head, speechless, when he learned about the Lan clan, which was a clan on par with first-tier sects!

Zhong Province was without a doubt the center of everything. It had many talents, a handful of Sacred Lands, and countless forces that anyone coming from the province would be of great background.

He raised his head to see his Junior Sister had already started sparring with the opponent. She defeated Lan Jue in the glimpse of an eye.

Jiang Meng smiled. “That’s my little girl, truly exceptional!”

When he took another look at his Human Path Records, he realized that Lan Jue’s status had more content now.

Status: He lost his challenge against Zi Linglong. He sent out messages to all the young geniuses in Zhong Province, saying that Zi Linglong has formed the Yang Dao Seed and is capable of overwhelming those of the same generation.

Jiang Meng thought, ‘Is he trying to place Junior Sister against the world?’ At that moment, he had the thought of killing this person.

At the end of the battle, Zi Linglong landed on Chuyang Peak. When she saw Lan Jue still following her, she couldn’t help but frown. “Are you not leaving?”

Lan Jue said, “The champions of the world will be gathering here. Why would I leave? In any case, I’ve given you my help. Aren’t you going to invite me to your mountain peak for a drink?”

Zhi Long was absolutely indifferent when she replied, “The mountain peak does not welcome anyone!”

Meanwhile, she stroked the air with her sword with a flick of her wrist. She seemed to be cutting the void in half.

Lan Jue’s expression quickly changed, and he stopped in his tracks.

He gnashed his teeth and still gave it a try. “What about the foot of the mountain?”

Zi Linglong did not reply and went directly up to the mountain peak, back to her Senior Brother.

She sat on the rooftop and chatted with her Senior Brother.

“Senior Brother, are you unhappy?”

“I feel the kid is thick-skinned.”

“Senior Brother, are you worried that we will be chummy together?”

“You only need a glance to see that he is not a good person. Pay less attention to him.”

Zi Linglong hugged Jiang Ming’s arm as she promised, “Sure, I will listen to you, Senior Brother. From now on, no men can come atop the mountain, not even women!”

“Won’t that make us seem disrespectful?”

“They are the ones who are disrespectful. But my Senior Brother is always respectful!”

At the bottom of the mountain…

Lan Jue landed beside the stone tablet.

A member of the Lan clan asked, “Brother Lan, you lost just like that? You are someone who can compete with a Holy Son! And yet you lost so easily?”

Lan Jue shuddered. “She’s too exceptional, I can’t do much!”

“A defeat is a defeat, but she didn’t even invite you up the mountain?”

Lan Jue cleared his throat as a reply.

“Brother Lan, since they don’t welcome us, let’s just leave.”

“I plan on staying here. There’s going to be a scene soon.”

“Brother Lan, you aren’t thinking of snubbing up to her, are you?”

“Scram you imbecile!

In an inn located in Shui Province…

A beautiful young lady was surrounded by many handsome men. She suddenly received a message: Zi Linglong, phoenix bloodline, formed Yang Dao Seed, defeated Zhou Tian, wagering on duels!

The young lady thought, ‘Such a peculiar lady! Let’s see if I can make her submit!’

Not long after, the young lady paced away in the air.

…

A young man sat cross-legged atop of a mountain. He grasped onto the incoming message, and his eyes glistened. ‘What an interesting message from Lan Jue! If this can really gather the geniuses from Zhong Province and Eastern Region, maybe I can try giving them a ranking!’

…

The current Holy Son of the Qingyun Sect had also received the message. He was surprised at the emergence of such a talent in Eastern Region. Hence, he intended to keep her as his maidservant.

Soon, he walked out of the sect, heading toward the Jiuyang Sect.

Meanwhile, Old Tie saw him and followed him.
