"What the heck?"
The old man and Long Chen stepped onto the teleportation array and were transported directly back to the Kaitian Battle Sect. Stepping out of the array, the old man cursed, "
You little bastard, I risked my life to save you. If it weren't for the Kaitian Divine Stele helping me counteract the backlash of the Heavenly Dao, I would have died."
Do you really think I'm that powerful, able to challenge the experts of the Nine Heavens of Fusion Heaven? Long
Chen was both surprised and moved. It turned out the old man was the first to arrive, and seeing Long Chen about to be killed, he launched a desperate strike.
At that time, he had no idea that Long Chen had brought back the Heaven-Opening God Stele, showing that the old man valued Long Chen's life more than his own.
It could be said that the old man's life was saved by chance. Long Chen was so moved that he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Dang dang ..."
The old man rang the long-sealed great bell. Suddenly, more and more disciples of the Kaitian Divine Sect rushed out, their faces filled with shock, not knowing what had happened.
This great bell only rings at moments of life and death for the Kaitian Divine Sect. It is said that ever since the Kaitian Divine Stele was broken, it has never rang again.
Now that the old man had personally struck this great bell, in an instant, every member of the Kaitian Divine Sect—regardless of age or gender, disciple or family member—had all come out, including a group of elderly men and women who looked frail and frail.
"Xiao Yuanzi, are you looking for trouble?" Why ring the bell for no reason? It almost shook me to death. Are you thinking that when I beat you up before, now you want revenge?" An
old man's face was wrinkled like tree bark, his eyes barely open, and he walked over shakily, leaning on a cane, as if a gust of wind could knock him down.
When Long Chen saw the old man, he was startled. This old man's body and Dao merged—he was actually a Fusion Heaven Realm expert.
There was not just one old man—there were three in total, all experts at the Fusion Heaven Realm. Long Chen had never imagined that the Kaitian Battle Sect would have three Fusion Heaven Mirror experts. This was astonishing.
"Oh?" Not bad, Xiaoyuanzi, you have good taste, actually raising such a formidable little guy. Hahaha, good, very good. Leave him to us to train and we'll spare you for disturbing him this time. The
three elders immediately saw Long Chen beside the old man. Their eyes stopped fading, their legs no longer trembling. They looked up and down at Long Chen as if they had treasured something.
"Do you three old guys have to keep that deadpan face?" Long Chen was raised by me. Do you want to take credit for yourselves? The old man was furious, pointing at the three and cursing them loudly.
Bao Buping, Chang Hao, and others also arrived. Seeing the old man cursing at the three old men, they were stunned. Who were these three old men? They didn't even know what they had seen, let alone seen it.
"Greetings, three ancestors,"
Master Bao and the others knew their identities and hurried over to pay their respects. It turned out these three elders were living fossil-level figures of the Kaitian Battle Sect, with terrifyingly high seniority.
By seniority, these three old men were three generations above the old man and were the true ancestors. However, the three had been in seclusion for years, and disciples of the Kaitian Divine Sect had never seen them, not even Master Bao and the others; they only knew about them.
Now that the old man had awakened all three living fossils, everyone stared at him in shock, not knowing what news he was about to announce.
"Long Chen?" Hehe, Xiaolongzi, I see your extraordinary talent and unique bones—you're a hundred years old... No, you're a once-in-a-millennium martial arts prodigy, who has grown fond of you and wants to take you as your disciple.
How about taking me as your disciple? After becoming my disciple, I will not only pass on everything I have learned but also ....
Heh heh, if I'm not mistaken, you must have suffered a lot from this kid. Now that you have to take me as your master, Wu Guangyuan has to call you grandmaster by seniority. Think about it—doesn't that feel great? The old man paid no attention to the furious old man and seduced Long Chen with every possible seduction.
Long Chen was dumbfounded. Who exactly were these three old men? Is it a problem that the older you get, the better you get to have fun? Why is there no trace of the demeanor of a senior?
"Master, master, disciple is here. We are also exceptionally gifted, with unique bones. You accepted us... Ouch...
Bao Buping and Chang Hao immediately knelt down and shouted loudly, but the old man struck them with a stick, sending them tumbling and crawling far away.
"Strange my ass, are you trying to bully me or something?" The old man glanced sideways at the two of them and said disdainfully.
"Enough. You three old geezers, have you been holding back in your coffin for too long and your brains are working out?"
Do you even know if you have the right to take him as your disciple? Isn't it better to live well? Is it really necessary to court death? The old man cursed angrily.
Long Chen's identity was once subtly mentioned to the old man by Li Tianxuan. When Long Chen first met the old man, the old man was extremely fond of him and wanted to take him as his disciple.
At that time, the old man wanted to rely on his status, brazenly asking the Xuantian Dao Sect for someone to secretly meet Li Tianxuan. This matter was extremely secretive; besides Li Tianxuan and the old Xuan Master, no one else knew about it.
At that time, Li Tianxuan didn't dare speak directly, only saying that Long Chen in the Xuantian Dao Sect was just a stepping stone; diving alone couldn't trap a true dragon.
Looking across the entire Tianwu Continent, no one can be Long Chen's master. No matter who is, if they do, they are doomed to die.
The old man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that with Long Chen's talent, Li Tianxuan should have taken him as a disciple long ago. But Long Chen had no masters at Xuantian Dao Sect.
Later, the old man suddenly thought of a possibility and was startled. In the end, he gave up on the idea of taking disciples, which led to the eventual sharing of a disciple with the Xuantian Dao Sect—something unprecedented in the history of the Kaitian Divine Sect.
The old man guessed Long Chen's identity, but not as certain as Li Tianxuan. However, as Long Chen grew up, he finally saw the clues.
Now that the three ancestors wanted to take Long Chen as their disciple, the old man was so angry he wanted to beat them, but he was afraid he couldn't beat them, so he cursed them loudly.
The three elders were startled, watching as a look of understanding suddenly appeared on Long Chen's face, and finally stopped mentioning taking disciples.
"Everyone, listen up, kneel to welcome the return of the Heavenly God Stele."
The old man's expression suddenly turned serious. His voice resonated through heaven and earth. When they heard the name of the Heaven-Opening Divine Stele, including the three elders, they were all stunned.
"Buzz!"
The old man formed hand seals, the void roared, and the Heaven-Opening Divine Stele appeared before everyone.
"Buzz buzz buzz...
When this half-piece of the Heaven-Opening God Stele appeared, the original half of the stele emitted a buzzing glow, and two sections appeared, their divine light illuminating the world. The once desolate Heaven-Opening Divine Sect suddenly changed its aura, like a withered tree regaining its spring, full of vitality.
"Welcome back to its place!"
The three elders shouted sharply, leading the way in kneeling. In an instant, everyone in Kaitian Divine Sect knelt down, their faces filled with excitement. Countless people wept bitterly—they had finally awaited this day.
Long Chen was stunned. The old man was kneeling—should he kneel? If not, wouldn't that be too rude? But in his memory, it seemed he had never knelt to anyone except his parents. He was really unaccustomed to it.
But thinking of how the old man treated him like a son, risking his life to save him, he gritted his teeth and was about to kneel as well, when suddenly the Heaven-Opening Divine Stele emitted a divine light. Everyone present trembled and stood up. Long Chen was secretly delighted—now he didn't have to kneel.
"Rumble rumble... The
two Heaven-Opening Divine Steles merged together, causing heaven and earth to tremble. Suddenly, Bao Buping and the others' aura surged rapidly, razor-sharp like a long blade drawn from its sheath. Long Chen was startled and looked at Bao Buping in disbelief:
" What's going on? "
