Chapter 1030: Chapter 1029: This Place Called Sealing Demon Cliff

Hearing Master Fang Yi’s words, Ye Tianchen was somewhat puzzled. Why would Master Fang Yi personally seek him out so late at night? Was it about Master Fang Zheng’s last words or the future development of the Buddhist Sect?

”Master, forgive me, but I don’t understand what this means,” Ye Tianchen said, stunned for a moment.

Master Fang Yi did not immediately answer Ye Tianchen but looked into the distant night. It was a long time before he spoke, ”Within the Buddhist Sect, there are many amazing secret techniques, and the Holy Skills of the Buddhist Sect are exceedingly profound, giving people a feeling that they can never be fully comprehended. Just half a year ago, Brother Fang Zheng seemed to have foreseen something and once asked me to meet him alone. He told me about something very taboo within the Buddhist Sect...”

Ye Tianchen was even more at a loss. Why did Master Fang Yi choose this moment to find him? What was that highly taboo matter in the Buddhist Sect? Could even a highly accomplished monk like Master Fang Zheng not resolve it? Considering his current cultivation realm and combat strength, if even a powerful figure like Master Fang Zheng could not handle it, how could he, Ye Tianchen, deal with it? What kind of connection does it have with him?

”Come with me, I’ll show you something, and after you see it, you will understand!” Master Fang Yi glanced at Ye Tianchen, seemingly taking a long time to make up his mind to tell him everything about the matter.

”Alright!” Ye Tianchen replied without the slightest hesitation, nodding at once.

From Master Fang Yi’s expression and tone, Ye Tianchen could feel that Master Fang Yi had given the matter deep consideration before coming to see him. It was undoubtedly not a simple matter. Even though the Shaolin of today was just a minor sect within the Buddhist Sect, and its power was not that strong, it still possessed some inherent heritage. This heritage was different from that of other cultivation sects and families. It wasn’t some powerful sequestered treasure or a group of elder cultivators in seclusion, but the natural aura within the Buddhist Sect that gave a profound, solemn, and inviolable feeling, emerging spontaneously from deep within one’s heart.

Moreover, Master Fang Zheng had shown Ye Tianchen great kindness and gratitude that was difficult to repay. Ye Tianchen was not someone who forgot favors. Without Master Fang Zheng, he would not have become a martial artist, would not have walked the martial arts path so steadily, and certainly would not have received the powerful legacy of the ”Yijin Jing.” Without such an unparalleled cultivation treasure book, how could Ye Tianchen have survived until now? Therefore, when Master Fang Zheng sacrificed himself to obtain the ”Yijin Jing” legacy for him, Ye Tianchen secretly vowed in his heart that if Shaolin ever faced difficulties, he would definitely not stand idly by!

Ye Tianchen and Master Fang Yi left Desolate Stone Village. What made Ye Tianchen feel strange was that Master Fang Yi did not head towards Shaolin but flew towards the north of Shaolin using Qi Manipulation Flight. Ye Tianchen asked no further questions and simply followed closely. After flying northward for over half an hour, Master Fang Yi finally stopped, and Ye Tianchen landed with him, looking on in surprise. Before him was a sheer cliff, towering into the clouds, so high that one could not see its peak, imparting a sense of oppression.

”Fengmo Cliff!” Ye Tianchen said to himself, looking at the towering cliff.

”Correct, this is Fengmo Cliff, a place that few martial artists know of, yet it is a location passed down from generation to generation in our Shaolin. Here lies one of the most powerful sealing formations of the Buddhist Sect. Every ten years, we old monks come to inspect it...” Master Fang Yi said in a halting manner.

Ye Tianchen frowned, looking up at the sky. This ”Fengmo Cliff” was very flat, towering into the clouds, with an aura of blackness surrounding it, exuding a sinister and terrifying feeling. Only along the halfway point of the cliff could one vaguely see traces of Buddha Light emanating, shaking the surroundings. What kind of place was this? Was ”Fengmo Cliff” sealing a world-shocking Great Demon?

”Master, if I am not mistaken, there should be a formidable entity sealed upon this Fengmo Cliff!” Ye Tianchen spoke up.

”You are insightful and perceptive, which the old monk admires. However, you are mistaken in one point: what is sealed atop this Fengmo Cliff is not a formidable entity, but a descendant of an ancient fierce bird,” Master Fang Yi said with a furrowed brow.

”What? The descendant of an ancient fierce bird? Master, do you mean that what is sealed here is from the ancient alien race?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask in surprise.

The ancient alien race was the first to emerge in this martial arts world, innately powerful beyond measure, truly astonishing, filled with various mysterious and powerful legends. Some say that wherever the ancient alien race moved, corpses would be scattered everywhere, while others say that the fierce beasts of the ancient alien race were supremely powerful, capable of plucking stars and swallowing the moon, devouring heaven and earth. How shocking and extraordinary this was!

However, for reasons unknown and at an unknown time, the ancient alien race seemed to have suffered some calamity, or perhaps they all reached some sort of agreement, disappearing overnight without a trace, leaving only their fearsome reputation in the world. Yet, after millions of years, the fearsome reputation of the ancient alien race continues to circulate in the martial arts world. It is an absolutely terrifying species, a species that feeds on the human race, and such legends are most prevalent among humans.

Could it be that on Earth, there still exists a fierce bird from the ancient alien race, sealed right here on Sealing Demon Cliff? Just the thought of it is enough to make one’s scalp tingle. Even someone as clever as Ye Tianchen never imagined such a thing. It is truly shocking. The descendant of a fierce bird from the ancient alien race... If it were to emerge, rivers of blood would surely flow, and mountains of corpses would pile up.

”I don’t know if it is from the ancient alien race. I only heard from Senior Brother Fang Zheng more than six months ago. He seemed to have sensed something and told me about this place. He brought me here once, saying that the fierce bird sealed here is immensely powerful. Not to mention that no one on Earth can stop it, even in the entire martial arts world, if this fierce bird emerges, it will rank among the strongest. It should not be touched lightly. If necessary, only those who have practiced the Yijin Jing can suppress it.” Master Fang Yi said, as if recalling Fang Zheng’s instructions from six months ago.

It turns out a fierce bird has been sealed and suppressed on this Sealing Demon Cliff all along. Whether this fierce bird is from the ancient alien race, no one knows, because millions of years ago, the ancient alien race disappeared from the martial arts world, and their traces are hard to find. In other words, almost no one has truly seen this terrifying race, not even the emperors who came later. It can only be guessed. Shaolin has always been tasked with watching over this place, ensuring the fierce bird doesn’t emerge, and the ancestral teaching passed down through generations is not to touch it lightly. If the fierce bird truly breaks through the sealing array, only those cultivators who have received the Yijin Jing legacy can subdue it. Ye Tianchen, it seems, is the only one in this martial arts world who has received the Yijin Jing cultivation legacy.

Ye Tianchen understood why Master Fang Yi came to find him. It wasn’t because his combat power cultivation reached an incredible level, but because he received the Buddhist sect’s Yijin Jing cultivation treasure legacy. Only this supreme mysterious holy skill from the Buddhist sect can suppress such a fierce bird, otherwise, Master Fang Yi wouldn’t have come to find Ye Tianchen.

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen thought of another possibility. Since Master Fang Zheng mentioned that the seal here shouldn’t be touched lightly, but if the fierce bird shows signs of breaking through the sealing array, it must be suppressed by someone who has cultivated the Yijin Jing legacy. Does that mean the sealing array is loosening now? Could this fierce bird be showing signs of breaking out?

”Master, do you mean that the seal here is loosening, and this fierce bird might break out, which is why you called me here?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask, startled.

The ancient alien race is no joke. Ye Tianchen knew this all too well. They were the first species to be born in the martial arts world, inherently powerful and violent, steeped in slaughter aura. This race was born to slaughter, creating countless bloody storms, sweeping across the entire martial arts world. How powerful must they be? So far, there are three major races in this martial arts world: the ancient alien race, the demon clan, and the human clan. The ancient alien race has always been the most powerful, preying on humans and oppressing them. It’s only after their disappearance over millions of years that the human race gradually rose up, producing more powerful figures. Despite the disappearance of the ancient alien race, the human race’s influence gradually strengthened, but stories of the ancient alien race’s mysteries and oppression of humans have never ceased to spread. Even Ye Tianchen has to take this seriously as it is not a personal vendetta but a matter concerning one race against another.

”It’s not that it is going to break out, but... it is about to be born...” Master Fang Yi said, with a hint of shock in his tone.

”This... about to be born? Could it be that this fierce bird has been sealed in the form of an egg all along?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask.

”Yes, exactly how long we do not know. Approximately over a million years ago, when the last batch of ancient alien races disappeared, they ravaged the human race as food, seemingly to make their final power replenishment, cruel beyond words, showing no mercy to anyone, devouring all. An old monk from our Buddhist sect stepped in, fighting fiercely with the fierce beasts of the fierce bird species...”

Before Master Fang Yi could finish, the entire ’Sealing Demon Cliff’ trembled violently, as if something was about to emerge, about to bring the world to ruin... (To be continued.
