The Jade Pure Hall was massive.
After all, it was where the heads of the Seven Peaks held their meetings.
It could easily accommodate several hundred people.
Ji Changfeng followed a disciple of Tongtian Peak to the back hall of the Jade Pure Hall.
There was a secluded Secret Room here.
Dao Xuan was already inside.
"Junior Brother Ji, Master is inside. You can go in..."
The Tongtian Peak disciple said.
"Alright." Ji Changfeng nodded slightly.
He gazed at the Secret Room before him and walked in without any hesitation.
"Swish—"
He entered the Secret Room.
A Taoist appeared before Ji Changfeng.
The other person was wearing a dark green Taoist robe, exuding a faint sense of pressure. His eyes were bright and full of spirit, and he had the air of a celestial being, clearly a highly accomplished senior...
"Disciple Ji Changfeng pays his respects to the Sect Leader, Uncle."
The instant he saw the person, Ji Changfeng immediately bowed towards Dao Xuan.
After all…
This person is the undisputed number one of the righteous path!
His cultivation is unfathomably profound.
He has probably already broken through the Great Clarity Realm, right?
"Whoosh!"
An invisible force lifted Ji Changfeng.
Dao Xuan gently waved his hand, carefully examining Ji Changfeng. A hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, but quickly…
He shook his head in regret.
"If I had known, this poor Daoist would have taken you as a disciple back then."
Six months to reach the fifth level of the Jade Pure Hall.
What a talent!
Even Ancestor Qingye in his time probably couldn't compare, right?
Ji Changfeng chuckled softly, "Sect Leader Uncle is joking. It's all Qingyun Sect anyway, what difference does it make which peak I join?"
As soon as he said this.
Dao Xuan was slightly taken aback.
He shook his head and laughed, "It seems I've been too attached to things. I haven't seen things as clearly as you have as a disciple!"
Indeed.
Qingyun Sect was on both sides.
And he was the Qingyun Sect Leader.
What difference did it make which peak Ji Changfeng joined?
They were all his Qingyun disciples anyway.
"Whoosh—"
Dao Xuan waved his sleeve, his gaze falling on Ji Changfeng, and said softly: "Do you know why I called you to Tongtian Peak?"
Hearing this, Ji Changfeng had some guesses.
But he dared not be too sure.
"Please give me your instructions, Sect Leader."
He cupped his hands.
Dao Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Your talent is unmatched in this world, a rarity even within the Qingyun Sect. Go and pay your respects to the ancestors in the Ancestral Hall..."
"Ancestral Hall?" Ji Changfeng's eyes lit up.
If he wasn't sure why Dao Xuan had summoned him to Tongtian Peak before,
then he was certain now.
Ancestral Hall, One-Armed Old Man, Demon-Slaying God, Wan Jianyi...
These thoughts raced through Ji Changfeng's mind.
So, Dao Xuan wanted him to inherit Wan Jianyi's Demon-Slaying God?
Perhaps.
"Sect Leader, should this disciple go now?"
Ji Changfeng asked.
"Go ahead." Dao Xuan waved his hand with a smile.
"This disciple takes his leave..."
Ji Changfeng cupped his hands and left the Secret Room.
At this moment.
Dao Xuan, watching Ji Changfeng's departing figure, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
Reaching the fifth level of the Jade Pure realm in less than half a year.
What a talent! If you can't break through to the Upper Clarity Realm, you might not be able to suppress this monster...
After Ji Changfeng left the Jade Pure Hall.
He asked a few of his senior brothers on Tongtian Peak about the location of the Ancestral Hall, and then headed directly towards the back mountain of Tongtian Peak...
The Ancestral Hall was located on the back mountain of Tongtian Peak.
This place was usually a forbidden area for the disciples, and entry was not permitted without permission.
The disciples of Tongtian Peak didn't know the reason for this.
Perhaps they were afraid of disturbing the ancestor's spirit?
Actually, that wasn't it.
Ji Changfeng knew very well that the reason no one was allowed to enter the Ancestral Hall was simply because Dao Xuan was hiding something there, keeping a "long-dead" Wan Jianyi in a secret room within the Ancestral Hall.
Years ago, the Demon Lord, Qiu Wangyu, led a group of demon disciples to attack Qingyun Sect. The previous Qingyun Sect Leader, Tian Chengzi, used his "Upper Clarity" cultivation to unleash the Zhuxian Sword.
Although they successfully repelled the demon invasion, Tian Chengzi was also afflicted by the Zhuxian Sword. The baleful qi entered his body, and he became a victim of Qi Deviation...
Qingyun's two pride pupils, Dao Xuan and Wan Jianyi, were forced to kill their own teacher.
In the end, the blame was placed on "Wan Jianyi," while Dao Xuan inherited the position of Sect Leader...
Officially, Dao Xuan had executed Wan Jianyi.
But secretly, Dao Xuan had actually saved Wan Jianyi, concealing him within the Ancestral Hall.
Such a change.
Although Wan Jianyi had survived.
His 'heart' had died.
The spirited enthusiasm he once possessed was gone.
In its place was a one-armed old man who swept the fallen leaves around the Ancestral Hall every day.
Just like an ordinary old man.
Ji Changfeng went to the Ancestral Hall.
He immediately saw the One-Armed Old Man holding a broom.
The old man looked ashen, his face devoid of any expression, showing no signs of life, as if he were about to die at any moment…
Ji Changfeng stood there, watching him.
The One-Armed Old Man ignored him, going about his business and sweeping the fallen leaves.
"Swish——"
The broom swept gently.
Each movement seemed to possess a mysterious profundity.
Ji Changfeng suddenly asked, "Senior is also a sword cultivator?"
Upon hearing this, Wan Jianyi was taken aback.
He hadn't wanted to pay Ji Changfeng any mind.
But...
When he noticed the faint sword intent emanating from Ji Changfeng, he couldn't help but take a closer look.
And once he did.
He couldn't stop.
Wan Jianyi felt as if he saw his former self in Ji Changfeng.
Back then.
He was also so full of spirit.
Wan Jianyi noticed the Ink Snow Divine Sword in Ji Changfeng's arms and was slightly taken aback: "You are Ji Changfeng? The Ji Changfeng from Dazhu Peak?"
At first.
He'd thought some Tongtian Peak disciple had accidentally wandered into the Ancestral Hall.
But he hadn't expected it to be Ji Changfeng? "Senior knows me?"
Ji Changfeng revealed a hint of 'surprise'.
Wan Jianyi stared blankly at the Ink Snow Divine Sword in Ji Changfeng's arms, and he sighed with emotion: "Did Junior Sister Su give it to you?"
"Very well..."
Wan Jianyi's voice was a bit forlorn.
The Ink Snow Divine Sword was something he had taken from the demonic cult. Later, he gave it to Su Ru of Xiaozhu Peak...
"Senior, do you know my shiniang?"
Ji Changfeng asked, feigning surprise.
Shiniang… Wan Jianyi felt a pang in his heart.
After a moment.
He suppressed the emotions in his heart and looked sharply at Ji Changfeng, asking: "Did Dao Xuan send you?"
"Not bad," Ji Changfeng nodded.
"If that's the case, then let's spar with swords."
Wan Jianyi slowly put down the broom in his hand and picked up a branch from nearby.
"Whoosh——"
In an instant, an unstoppable momentum erupted.
The sharp sword intent directly targeted Ji Changfeng.
"Let me see if you can inherit my Demon-Slaying God."
Seeing this scene.
Ji Changfeng smiled.
He calmly placed the Ink Snow Divine Sword to the side and picked up a branch from nearby.
Boom——
In an instant, a surge of sword intent erupted.
The two of them immediately confronted each other.
"I don't know what you're talking about, Senior, but since you want to spar with me, this disciple is happy to oblige…"
