Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

A small boy born and raised on the Hidden Dragon Continent actually has a sister in the Heavenly Rank Third Realm, and even Qian Sanyuan, the vice president of the Meridian Refining Master Association at the time, couldn’t figure out his origins.

Even on the Tenglong Continent, Heavenly Rank experts are as rare as phoenix feathers, and a single Heavenly Rank expert can dominate a region. In a first-class force like Firewood Valley, perhaps only the sect leader is a Heavenly Rank expert.

Therefore, Jun Tieshu’s understanding of Yun Xiao is quite detailed compared to other talents of the Tenglong Continent. With these reasons, he now has more plans.

”Among those few over there, Brother Yun Xiao should only know Elder Wu Tong from our Firewood Valley, right?”

Jun Tieshu glanced at Yun Xiao. After seeing the latter nod, he moved his finger and pointed at someone, saying, ”That guy with the purple aura on his face is Elder Zhao Huai’an from the Zhao Family, with a Middle Stage Earth Bending Realm cultivation!”

When mentioning Zhao Family’s Zhao Huai’an, a hint of resentment filled Jun Tieshu’s tone, suggesting that these two forces have long been irreconcilable due to territorial disputes.

”The elder wearing a Ge cloth is Elder Ge Wanli from Demons Mountain. He is not just a Middle Stage Earth Bending expert at the peak, but also a genuine Earth Rank Advanced Beast Vein Master!”

Jun Tieshu turned his finger. He knew Yun Xiao has a good relationship with Demons Mountain. The red-skirted girl he saw at Xuanyin Hall later terrified him when he inquired about her; she turned out to be the newly accepted direct disciple of the Demons Mountain’s current mountain master.

Thinking of this, a strange light flashed in Jun Tieshu’s eyes, pondering that although the boy has offended significant forces, he also has plenty of support.

Demons Mountain is claimed to be the strongest beneath the four top forces; even such a giant as Spirit Fighting Commerce must seriously consider them.

”As for the one on Elder Ge’s right, that’s Elder Jia Tianshu from Shenxiao Sect. His cultivation has also reached the Middle Stage of the Earth Bending Realm!”

Like counting precious items, Jun Tieshu knew what interests Yun Xiao most right now. This is what he wants to use to get closer to the latter. This boy is from the Hidden Dragon Continent and should be ignorant of these major figures on the Tenglong Continent, right?

”If I’m not mistaken, that bald monk should be from Thunder Sound Mountain, right?”

Just as Jun Tieshu was about to introduce another expert, Yun Xiao spoke first. Thunder Sound Mountain was widely recognized as all cultivators there practice Mahayana Secret Sect; this attire was rather easy to guess.

”Correct, that is Sect Puti from Thunder Sound Mountain, known as the ’Eight-Armed Arhat.’ His cultivation shouldn’t be weaker than Elder Ge’s!”

Jun Tieshu nodded. Thunder Sound Mountain ranks above Firewood Valley amongst the first-class forces, and the elders at Firewood Valley are quite wary of the secret sect experts of Thunder Sound Mountain.

”Only one left, and the strongest one!”

Yun Xiao moved his gaze from Sect Puti to the last elder, sensing the raging fire attribute within the latter. He actually had some guesses, as both Long Xiwawa and Duan Wuya had long entered his sight.

”A Late Stage Earth Bending Realm expert!”

What intimidated Yun Xiao most was not the fire attribute within the elder but this Late Stage Earth Bending Realm cultivation. With his Power of Soul, he could naturally sense the elder’s strength, much stronger than the other five, and extremely challenging for him to contend with.

”That is Seventh Elder Zhang Daohe of Wuyan Palace, a Late Stage Earth Bending Realm expert!”

Jun Tieshu clearly noticed Yun Xiao’s solemn expression but still introduced him, aware of Yun Xiao’s conflicts with Wuyan Palace. It seems that he even snatched something from Long Xiwawa, and almost killed two geniuses of Wuyan Palace in Extreme Yin City.

With this situation, if Zhang Daohe discovers Yun Xiao’s presence, he might not be able to hold back, and apparently, Lianyun Mountain hasn’t sent any experts here. Can Yun Xiao bear the pressure of Wuyan Palace’s Seventh Elder alone?

”As expected, it’s Wuyan Palace!”

Upon receiving the answer he expected, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but let out a long sigh. In fact, he had considered the possibility of Wuyan Palace intervening, as it relates to Wuyan Palace’s secret treasure.

Moreover, it’s rumored to be Wuyan Palace’s ancestral land. Just sending a Late Stage Earth Bending Realm Seventh Elder is already an unexpected delight for Yun Xiao.

However, in this situation, Yun Xiao’s intention to discreetly obtain Wuyan Palace’s secret treasure seems impossible, but since he’s here, he won’t retreat because of Zhang Daohe’s presence.

Yun Xiao still possesses four complete Wuyan Cloth Fragments. He believes that these hard-earned fragments aren’t just for showing a location, although the location displayed is within the range of Yanji Lake.

Yun Xiao even has a conjecture that the anomaly at Yanji Lake might have been caused by collecting all four fragments.

That being the case, could possessing the Wuyan Cloth Fragments provide Yun Xiao with a greater chance to obtain Wuyan Palace’s secret treasure?

Besides, with Yun Xiao’s intelligence, he has already guessed the thoughts of the six major powers on that side. In this scenario, it’s clearly impossible for Zhang Daohe to monopolize the things within Yanji Lake. When the factions start fighting, it would be Yun Xiao’s opportunity.

Boom!

Just as Yun Xiao was conversing with Jun Tieshu, a loud sound suddenly came from the direction of Yanji Lake. It turned out the six major powers once again joined forces to strike hard at the seal.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

This time, the attack finally brought a glimmer of joy to the faces of the six strong individuals. As the sound of shattering rang out, they all sensed something and retreated dozens of yards.

Rumble!

At the same time, an invisible wave exploded out, and everyone saw the invisible seal at the edge of Yanji Lake burst apart, turning into countless energy fragments that finally dissipated in the air.

Whoosh... Whoosh...

After these energy fragments dissipated, the mist that originally shrouded the entire Yanji Lake suddenly changed.

From the direction where the six strong individuals were standing, it seemed as if a giant Divine Sword had descended from the sky, splitting the mist above Yanji Lake into a path several feet wide.

The separated mist on both sides kept tumbling, but they couldn’t merge back together, as if an invisible hand was keeping them apart, extending deep into Yanji Lake.

No matter how much everyone widened their eyes, they couldn’t see the end of the path, as if it led to an infinite abyss, endlessly.

However, at this moment, no one made any moves. Although that might be the path leading to the core of Yanji Lake, everyone’s eyes turned to the six Earth Bending Realm strong individuals.

After all, this path was also opened by the combined efforts of these six strong individuals. If someone rushed in ahead of them, it might lead to endless trouble.

There was not a single person present who dared to say they could offend these strong individuals from six major forces simultaneously.

Whoosh!

Just as these ordinary cultivators were having this thought, a sound of rushing wind suddenly came, drawing their attention. They immediately saw a gray figure quickly darting towards the separated path.

”Who is that? Tired of living?”

Seeing this figure but unable to recognize the appearance, many cultivators showed a look of schadenfreude, thinking to themselves, ”Is this guy an idiot?”

To dare enter Yanji Lake before the six Earth Bending Realm strong individuals? He’ll probably be shattered into pieces in the next moment!

”This guy...”

The genius from Firewood Valley, Jun Tieshu, was also dumbfounded. Perhaps only he knew who that gray figure was, because beside him, the guy named Yun Xiao was already missing.

However, thinking of Yun Xiao’s usual style, Jun Tieshu felt relieved. This guy who never follows conventions could do anything.

But as he sensed the sudden burst of anger from the six Earth Bending Realm strong individuals, Jun Tieshu couldn’t help but smile wryly, thinking that these six were not comparable to those young geniuses on the seventh floor of Xuanyin Cave.

Jun Tieshu thought highly of Yun Xiao, but it seemed that Lianyun Mountain hadn’t sent any Earth Bending Realm strong individuals. How could Yun Xiao alone compete with real Earth Bending Realm strong individuals?

The Earth Bending Realm and the Seeking Origin Realm are completely different levels. Even if Jun Tieshu sensed that Yun Xiao’s Meridian Qi cultivation was a notch higher than his own, he feared Yun Xiao would still be no match for those true Earth Bending Realm strong individuals.

However, Jun Tieshu seemed to have forgotten that when Yun Xiao was on the seventh floor of Xuanyin Cave, he was merely a late-stage Seeking Origin Realm cultivator, able to fight against Strange Spirits of the ninth rank low-level, let alone now.

”Seventh Elder, stop him, that’s Yun Xiao!”

Just as Yun Xiao had just darted out, everyone heard a voice filled with spite and anger, coming from Long Xiwawa, the top genius of Wuyan Palace. The Seventh Elder mentioned was naturally Long Xiwawa, a late-stage Earth Bending Realm strong individual.

”Yun Xiao?”

The sudden mention of this name made the six strong individuals, who had been focused on breaking the seal, freeze. Then they seemed to recall the significance of this name, and their expressions changed again.

These Earth Bending Realm strong individuals from top-tier forces originally didn’t pay much attention to a young genius.

However, the news about Yun Xiao was quite astonishing, seemingly surpassing the scope of young talents, directly challenging the core strong individuals of these various sects.

It’s said that this youth named Yun Xiao was unbeatable even by Su Jian from Spirit Fighting Commerce and Gu Changsheng from Xuanyin Hall.

Considering this, does it not mean the youth has already achieved battle prowess comparable to the Earth Bending Realm? After all, such top geniuses like Su Jian are at the half-step Earth Bending Realm level.
