Chapter 6324: Ancestor of the Qianzu Tribe
Chapter 6324: Ancestor of the Qianzu Tribe
The power absorbed ultimately belonged to the Starry Sky.
Although it wasn't of much use, the person who created this secret technique intrigued Jian Wushuang. If possible, once he regained all his strength, he would reverse time and space to witness firsthand how that person crafted such a technique.
As he pondered this, Jian Wushuang recalled that his original task was related to the underground altar in the Mangshan County.
Could this have something to do with the God Eye Secret Technique?
After all, given how long this had been building up, if there was no connection, it would be quite absurd. It would be a waste of time!
The Centipede Saintess spoke again, but this time, she had lost much of her earlier arrogance. Jian Wushuang's earlier analogy and hypothesis were indeed things she had never heard before.
"Let me put it this way: The reason the Red Eye Realm is called the Red Eye Realm is because of the God Eye Secret Technique. However, the God Eye Secret Technique originated from the God Eye Clan, and it not only appears in the Red Eye Realm but also exists in the Upper Realm. However, in ancient inheritances, only the matters related to the God Eye Secret Technique are recorded, and there is little mention of the God Eye Clan itself."
"However, the Red Eye Realm is different. The inheritance of the God Eye in the Red Eye Realm is unlike any other world, or rather, it is more powerful. It is even stronger than the ancient domains of the Upper Realm. According to the records, the inheritance of the God Eye Secret Technique is divided into seven levels. The first level is the simplest-one only needs to be innately gifted to obtain a black-pupil God Eye token. With this token, one can go to the Northern Region Glacier and pass the first level of the test to receive the inheritance!"
At this point, Xiang Yang couldn't help but urge, "You should get to the point about Mangshan County. If you keep going off-topic, you'll just be wasting everyone's time!"
"It's fine. Just speak at your own pace. No need to rush!" Jian Wushuang interjected, causing Xiang Yang to fall silent once more.
The others were also not in a hurry. After all, it was like listening to a story-they naturally wanted to know more details; otherwise, where was the appeal?
Unfortunately, the story had already reached its end.
The Centipede Saintess spoke with a tone of regret: "Many years ago, an ancestor of our clan obtained a fourth-level token and passed the test set by the God Eye Clan. He successfully received the inheritance. With this inheritance, he quickly reached the peak of the Divine Image Realm. Just as the ancestor was about to make a breakthrough and ascend to the Upper Realm, he was ambushed by a despicable person who used a secret technique to seize his body. However, the ancestor had a contingency plan in place. Using the Heaven's Foot Blood Shield, he fought the attacker to a draw, with both losing their physical bodies and power. The power lost could not dissipate on its own due to the nature of the God Eye Secret Technique. But because that power was so immense, others could not absorb it either. In the end, the clan's strongmen sealed it, hoping to wait for the ancestor to recover and reclaim his lost power. Yet, unexpectedly, the ancestor ultimately couldn't hold on..."
Although this event had taken place a millennium ago, the Qianzu Saintess still felt sorrowful, as her tribe had almost produced an ascendant. What a great honor that would have been!
Everyone present began to realize the significance of what she had just said.
"You mean to say that the altar beneath Mangshan County holds the power sealed by your ancestors?"
"That's right. This time, I've come to reclaim that sealed power. I forgot to mention, it was the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty who sealed this power a thousand years ago!" the Qianzu Saintess added.
This statement sparked a chain of thoughts in Jian Wushuang's mind.
The Tang Dynasty ancestor?
Wasn't that the monk from Baoguang Temple?
He had sealed the power of the Thousand-foot tribe's ancestor, and now, due to the current Tang Emperor, it was reappearing in Mangshan County.
There was a conspiracy behind this.
Jian Wushuang couldn't fully comprehend it yet. He glanced at Xiang Yang and Jiang Shang, then said, "In that case, let's not hesitate any longer. We'll head straight to Mangshan County!"
"Better to be cautious. I've already informed the elders of my tribe. They will arrive outside Mangshan County soon, and it won't be too late to enter the city together then," the Qianzu Saintess expressed her concern.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiao was fiddling with a token by his side. It was obvious he was summoning reinforcements.
He reported everything to the Chief Commander and then dispatched people for support.
The power at the peak of the Divine Phase was enough to drive all cultivators mad.
The Thousand-foot tribe had collaborated with Wei Jiuxian precisely to reclaim this power, allowing the tribe's experts to break through to the peak of the Divine Phase.
They hoped that with the last bit of power in the world, they could shatter the void and ascend to immortality.
Most people would think this way.
But Jian Wushuang was a strategist-he always planned before acting!
The planning had already begun. When the Qianzu Saintess revealed this secret, he started pondering why this power had been sealed in the first place.
The ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, though a man of deep emotions, was believed to have no hope of ascending.
However, hearing that he could seal the power of a Divine Phase peak expert, Jian Wushuang realized that he was likely a super expert on the verge of ascension.
Why didn't such a person absorb that power and ascend directly?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Either he had no interest in ascension, or there was a problem with that power, making him too afraid to absorb it. Hence, he sealed it.
But now, the current Tang Emperor had discovered it and wanted to try absorbing that power for ascension.
To Jian Wushuang, regardless of the secrets hidden within that power, he needed to obtain it!
So he had to move quickly.
As for the others, if they went along, they would only compete with him. Why wait?
Yang Xiao wanted to wait for Wei Jiuxian, and the Qianzu Saintess wanted to wait for her
tribe's experts.
Jian Wushuang had no reason to wait.
"Since this power is now sealed within the altar, everyone can rely on their own abilities!" Jian Wushuang's words left the group stunned.
Recalling Jian Wushuang's previous god-like strength, they couldn't help but worry that he might decide to eliminate them all at this moment.
"Don't worry, I have no intention of attacking you. Whether you're from the Zhanxian Guard or the Thousand-foot tribe, you can choose to wait or go now. We'll rely on our own abilities, and I won't strike against you first!"
Jian Wushuang had enough magnanimity to say this. To him, that power was already within
his grasp.
With his current strength and the burning of his Thought power, even a Divine Phase expert would not be his match. He might not be invincible, but he dared to fight.
"Join me, or wait here-it's your choice!"
The Qianzu Saintess and Yang Xiao hesitated no longer and replied, "We'll go!"
"Good!"
Jian Wushuang enveloped the group with his Thought power, and with a powerful surge of
energy, they instantly soared into the sky.
Without holding back, they flew straight toward Mangshan County.
Their speed reached the peak of the Infant Transformation Phase.
This was even with others in tow-without them, they would have been faster.
While they made a grand entrance toward Mangshan County, they were unaware that a heavy
guard had already been stationed outside the county.
The Tang Emperor had initiated the final plan, gathering all the experts from the Chiyang Sect and the Zhanxian Guard, sending them to Mangshan County.
Such a large-scale mobilization could not escape Wei Jiuxian's notice. He immediately recalled Chang Feng and led half of the Zhanxian Guard to Mangshan County as well.
Besides the Tang Dynasty of the Eastern Land, ancient inheritors from the Northern Glacier and tribes from the Barbarian Wilderness had also received word. The cultivators from the entire Red Eye Realm seemed to converge, all heading toward Mangshan County at once.
