Chapter 706 - - 537 Dragon Tiger Mountain’s Tribulation_2

—————✧✧✧✧—————

“Yes, Sect Head Senior Brother.” Chi Jinshou’s face showed helplessness. On normal days, they might not visit Heavenly Master Peak once every three or five years, but now, they had made several trips in a single day.

“Sect Head Senior, what on earth happened?” Han Jiuyun asked, “How did the evil demon that caused all this trouble become an elder ancestor of Dragon Tiger Mountain?

“Rumors from the outside say his cultivation level was at most at the Nascent Soul Stage, and he acted without scruples, employing particularly brutal methods. Prince Duan and many offerings from the Capital City were all pierced by his flying sword through the valley paths, their bodies torn open and killed. How could such a villain be our elder ancestor of Dragon Tiger Mountain?”

There were such things?

Xu Jinkui was stunned for a moment and instinctively looked towards Liao Jiulong. Seeing Liao Jiulong’s flickering gaze, he knew everything Han Jiuyun said was true.

Yet, the thought that the old ancestor came to Heavenly Master Peak to steal the scriptures, and on top of that, glibly instigated the entire Dragon Tiger Mountain to betray Heavenly Master Xu, dragging everyone down with him, made Xu Jinkui feel that it was only too normal for the old ancestor to have done those things.

In the end, that dark-hearted fellow was not a proper person, and it was just that he had inadvertently idealized his image out of consideration for Daoist Rhyme…

Could this be a yin plot against Dragon Tiger Mountain!

Xu Jinkui had a sinking feeling in his heart as he suddenly had a bad premonition. He knew too little about the old ancestor. He looked at Han Jiuyun and asked, “Jiuyun, tell me everything that happened outside in detail, and don’t miss a single thing.”

Just at that moment, several other Peak Masters also arrived at the Heavenly Master Hall.

Han Jiuyun narrated in detail the situation he had investigated from the outside.

“Prince Duan actually used living souls to refine the Soul Suppressing Vase, he deserved his death.” Hidden Sky Peak’s Song Jincheng glanced at Han Jiuyun and said, “Brother, I think the old ancestor did the right thing. If anyone comes to investigate, we’ll just push back. Clearly, the old ancestor is a water series monster, not some evil demon. With the Heavenly Master around, even the Day Roaming God probably won’t dare to be too presumptuous…”

“Let’s set aside what the old ancestor did for now. The issue is that the growth of the old ancestor’s strength seems a bit too erratic,” Xu Jinkui frowned and said, “He doesn’t seem like a naturally born water series monster; he actually resembles an evil demon somewhat.”

Everyone suddenly fell silent.

The impression of a water series monster was preconceived.

All along, Duge had only used water series techniques, so they had never considered him as an evil demon. But after Xu Jinkui’s reminder, Duge’s identity suddenly became mysterious and confusing.

Evil demons causing chaos—if Dragon Tiger Mountain was found to be involved with evil demons, no one could save them.

Even if all the sect’s disciples had comprehended Daoist Rhyme, it would be of no use…

By then, Heavenly Master Xu might not even need to learn of their betrayal, as he would be the first to sever ties with them.

“Liao Jiulong, at this point, are you still unwilling to speak?” Chi Jinshou demanded angrily, “If Old Ancestor Daoming alerts Emperor Donghua, everyone on Dragon Tiger Mountain will have to accompany the old ancestor to his grave.”

“Little Liao, there is nothing that can’t be spoken to others.”

Duge’s figure appeared in the Heavenly Master Hall; he surveyed everyone before his gaze fell on Liao Jiulong and said with a smiling face.

Seeing Duge suddenly appear, Xu Jinkui and the others felt somewhat embarrassed and hurriedly rose to pay their respects, as the proper courtesies had to be maintained before things were clear.

“Elder.” Seeing Duge again, Liao Jiulong was filled with excitement and quickly paid his respects.

Duge waved his hand and looked at him approvingly: “Little Liao, Ziming, Ziyun, the three of you have done quite well. Come here; the elder ancestor has a reward for you.”

Liao Jiulong and the other two were overjoyed. They glanced at the few Peak Masters and gracefully approached Duge.

Duge floated in the air, placing one hand on Liao Jiulong’s forehead. Bright Divine Power circulated through his meridians for one loop, transforming him into an Envoy of Bright Divine Power.

However, possibly due to the world’s rules, Liao Jiulong did not sprout two wings from his back.

Even so, a layer of light, signifying the sacred, radiated from Liao Jiulong’s body, and his spiritual power’s growth rate was accelerated by at least fivefold.

Feeling the changes in his body, Liao Jiulong was overjoyed beyond measure. Naturally, he knew what this meant, and he knelt to the ground with a thud: “Disciple Liao Jiulong thanks the elder for reforging my Daoist Base.”

Upon hearing this.

Everyone present was stunned.

Duge then looked towards Du Ziming and Liu Ziyun, transforming them into Divine Envoys of the Dark God and the Envoy of Sea God, respectively.

Just like Liao Jiulong, both Du Ziming and Liu Ziyun thanked Duge. The Daoist Base signified innate talents, and after being transformed, their future cultivation would be much more effective, and they wouldn’t encounter bottlenecks anymore; it was akin to having a new lease on life.

…

Seeing Xu Jinkui and others looking puzzled, Duge gestured with his hand: “Little Liao, let Sect Head Xu and the others have a look.”

As they might soon be facing Heavenly Court as enemies, the previous power from the Daoist Rhyme seemed a bit insufficient; after all, the effects of Daoist Rhyme take too long to manifest, and ascending to immortality through it could take an indefinite amount of time.

However, improving the Daoist Base could yield instant results.

Xu Jinkui and others took turns examining the transformed Daoist Bases of Liao Jiulong and the others.

After the check, everyone stood frozen in place, their eyes filled with naked envy as they looked at Liao Jiulong and the others.

Could it really be possible to truly reforge the Daoist Base?

And to do so with such ease; how did he manage that?

Xu Jinkui’s heart raced.

At that moment, he suddenly understood why Old Ancestor Daoming fought tooth and nail to protect Duge: this ability was against the heavens, and moreover, he had transformed three different types of Daoist Bases for the three people.
