The Great Wild God - Chapter 179

Chapter 179 Shanmen Stone Statue
“Brother Wu Xun, Li Yu’s spiritual veins have been destroyed. It’s already a burden, but I beg you to send my Young Sect Master back to the Thousand Swords Sect. Apart from repaying him with generosity, the Thousand Swords Sect will also help you avenge the death of the stronghold.” Li Yuqiang suppressed his excitement and bowed to Chen Xun, begging him to escort Ji Dongze back to the Thousand Swords Sect.

There were many nights of dreams. Once Qiyun Mountain found out that Sect Master Ji Lie’s only son was with him, they would definitely cast a net to capture Dongze at all costs. If Dongze fell into Qiyun Mountain’s hands, then the Thousand Swords Sect would truly be in a mess.

“Uncle Li, I can’t escape without you!” Although Ji Dongze was young, his tone was unquestionable, and he possessed the prestige of a young sect master.

Chen Xun thought to himself that the Thousand Swords Sect probably believed that they would be able to easily take down Crimson Maple Castle this time. That was why Ji Dongze, whose cultivation had yet to break through the profound aperture, came over to train together. Who would have thought that it would be contained in the diagram set up by Qiyun Mountain?

However, Qiyun Mountain did not expect that the young sect master of the Thousand Swords Sect would be among the people who ambushed Scarlet Maple Fort.

“If Li Yu doesn’t kill Wei Guan, he won’t have the face to see the sect master. Please don’t make things difficult for Li Yu, otherwise Li Yu can only beat himself to death in front of the sect master.” Tears streamed down Elder Li Yu’s face.

Hearing what Li Yu said, Ji Dongze’s face was also full of tears. He didn’t leave Li Yu behind, but he was afraid that forcing Li Yu to follow him back to the sect would really force him to death.

Chen Xun had been a bitter slave in Crimson Maple Castle for half a year, and he rarely overheard the steward below. The soldier privately said that this was the first time he knew that the middle-aged scholar with the azure jade fan was surnamed Wei Guan. He must be from the same clan as Wei Che, the direct disciple of Mount Qiyun.

Seeing Li Yu, Ji Dongze was shy. One didn’t want to drag everyone down, the other didn’t want to leave the old, weak, sick, and disabled behind. Chen Xun impatiently said to Li Yu,

“There is a cave in this village that can gather the earth’s vein spiritual energy from dozens of miles around. It can barely be considered a half-spirit cave. I’ll hide you inside for the time being and treat your injuries. You shouldn’t be courting death. It sounds really unlucky. If you have a life, Qiyun Mountain won’t be able to search here by luck. I’ll get a reward from your Thousand Swords Sect and come back to save you.”

“That’s good. I’ll leave everything to you, Brother Wu Xun. If Li Yu can’t die, I’ll definitely repay Brother Wu Xun for his kindness.” Li Yu kowtowed.

“Wei Che killed dozens of my brothers. Sooner or later, I’ll settle this debt with him.” Chen Xun chuckled, exposing Li Yu’s worries. He thought to himself that this old fellow was loyal to Ji Dongze, and he didn’t hesitate to kowtow to him. “Send your Young Sect Master back to the sect. You don’t need to worry about me anymore.”

Li Yu thought to himself that although Wu Xun was rude and philistine, his words were straightforward. He didn’t spare any detours, bowed his head and bowed, and didn’t say anything else.

**************

The secret passageway that the Juyi Hall had used to enter the cave had long since been called the collapse of the direct disciple of Mount Qiyun, Wei Che. It was not something Chen Xun could clean up in three to five days alone.

However, in the past, Chen Xun had stolen a mouthful of spiritual energy from the cave to cultivate. Taking advantage of the fact that the leader of the Sand Pirates had come out of the village to plunder the merchants, he had secretly dug a secret tunnel from under the sand camel shed. He had not dug through the stone wall that was only three to four meters thick from the cave.

Chen Xun shook the stone wall. He drilled into the cavern and saw that the group of Sand Bandits really enjoyed it. In the cavern that was thirty to fifty feet deep, they actually used bricks and stones to build several stone palaces. There was also a small formation outside the stone palace, but it was unable to block Wei Che’s attack. There were scorched marks from the thunder and fire everywhere. Several Sand Bandits leaders were lying horizontally in front of the stone palace, presumably asking Wei Che to be killed on the spot.

Even though Wei Che and the other disciples of Mount Qiyun had swept away all the belongings in the stone hall, and half of the stone staircase passageway connecting the stone hall and the Juyi Hall had collapsed, the entire stone cave did not collapse, and strands of spiritual energy leaked in from the four walls.

Although this stone acupoint was far inferior to the Frost Pool Spirit Acupoint and was not comparable to the Spirit Veins occupied by the sect, Li Yu hid in it to treat his injuries.

Seeing that Chen Xun knew the situation in the damaged village like the back of his hand, Li Yu did not doubt anything else.

Chen Xun dug out a concealed passage from the bullpen to connect to the stone acupoints. In Li Yu’s eyes, it was only a secret passage used by sand robbers to escape. Chen Xun’s ability to know this secret passage proved that he was one of the leaders of this group of sand robbers.

**************************

Within Li Yu’s cave, Chen Xun collapsed the secret path leading to the bullpen. Even he sensed Li Yu’s existence and brought Ji Dongze through the desert of the sand sea into Gushan County.

Thousands of kilometers of Gushan Mountain was only a short and bare stone ridge at the edge of the Wuteng Desert. Only after traveling thousands of kilometers east did the mountain gradually become steep and steep.

Although Qiyun Mountain probably didn’t realize how valuable a small fish was, Chen Xun and Ji Dongze carefully concealed their tracks. They even set up numerous suspicious formations to bypass the valley paths that might be attacked. After walking for nearly a month, they finally saw the majestic mountain gate of the Thousand Swords Sect, Xiongzhi Valley Paths.

Looking at the nearly 100-meter-tall stone pillar that pierced through the sky, the stone pillar even had a nine-storey stone tower. The stone statues of the ancestors of the Thousand Swords Sect sat cross-legged in the stone tower, revealing unparalleled majesty and revealing the Thousand Swords Sect’s long heritage that had lasted for thousands of years.

After spending more than a month with Ji Dongze, Chen Xun was able to understand the Thousand Swords Sect’s details from Ji Dongze’s mouth.

Although the Thousand Sword Sect had more than 10,000 years of inheritance and was once the leader of the seven sects in the Northwest Region. Thousands of years ago, it was still the ancestor of the Celestial Realm. However, a hundred years ago, there was a great chaos in the sect. Several Grand Elders of the Origin Core Realm killed each other and almost perished in the long river of history.

In the following decades, the Thousand Sword Sect could barely keep the mountain gate afloat until the current Sect Master, Ji Lie, was able to pass down several generations of ancestral teachings. Due to the rise of the sect, it was only in these past few decades that the sect was able to pull back slightly and not completely wipe out.

And because of the chaos of the sect a hundred years ago, The Thousand Sword Sect’s Daoist Primordial Core warriors either killed each other or sadly traveled far away. Moreover, the Heavenly Origin Realm cultivators had almost all died, causing the Thousand Sword Sect to experience serious faults in the past hundred years. As a result, the Thousand Sword Sect could only send peak Reincarnation Realm cultivators like Li Yu if they wanted to take back Crimson Maple Castle from Qiyun Mountain.

If the disciples of the Thousand Swords Sect were able to lead a group of Heavenly Yuan Realm cultivators during this attack on Crimson Maple Fort, even if they fell into the trap of Mount Qiyun, they would not have fallen so miserably.

Celestial Realm?

Chen Xun raised his head to look at the stone statue on the Thousand Sword Sect’s mountain gate. He sighed with emotion. If he couldn’t advance to Nirvana, he wouldn’t be able to escape the pain of reincarnation even if he was at the Heavenly Human Realm. He thought that Old Kui was still a Heavenly Human Realm First Grade expert, but he only had a hundred years to live before his soul was extinguished. Thinking about it made one sigh endlessly.

In the past, Chen Xun had no feelings for longevity at all. He already had a life expectancy of 150 years in the Reincarnation Realm. At this moment, he was only in his thirties. Compared to worrying that his life expectancy might be exhausted in more than a hundred years, he had to first pay attention to the dangers of death that could arise in front of him anytime.

However, standing at the Thousand Sword Sect’s mountain gate that had experienced thousands of years of wind and rain, and looking at the stone statue of the four Thousand Sword Sect ancestors at the top of the stone tower, an indescribable feeling of azure mulberry rose in his chest.

This feeling was so intense that it made Chen Xun feel as if he had returned to the moment when he first entered the Realm of Heaven, Ancient Immortal Dao Xu had broken through the sky and peeked out from the void to observe the situation in this world. It was also as if he had returned to the moment when Old Kui had directly pushed the Kui Dragon Form into his soul sea …

As he blurred, he felt an extremely dazzling golden light spurting out from behind the stone statue. An incomparably powerful sword intent wantonly swept across the golden light, giving people the enlightenment to split the heavens and earth in search of great freedom …

This sword intent was so unbridled and majestic. The Tushan Heavenly Flame, which stretched for almost ten thousand kilometers, seemed to have become insignificant before this sword intent.

Before this sword intent, the Lightning Sound Sword Technique and Spirit Sound Sword Technique that Chen Xun couldn’t comprehend in the past had been dismembered like a melon chopping vegetables. They had shattered into tiny profound talisman sword intents that flickered in Chen Xun’s divine soul.

As soon as the countless broken profound talisman sword intents condensed into the Thunder Sound Sword Art on his soul, Chen Xun’s spiritual sense also merged into the sword art. Chen Xun subconsciously opened his mouth, and a boundless amount of sword qi sprayed out from his mouth, carrying a sound that could shock the soul into thunder as it sliced into the stone tower of the Thousand Swords Sect …

Chen Xun instantly woke up and saw the sword qi hacking towards the Thousand Sword Sect’s mountain gate. He immediately realized that something was wrong.

Just as he escorted Ji Dongze back to the sect, he chopped down the other party’s mountain gate and hacked the other party’s ancestral statue into pieces. Wouldn’t he be beaten to death by the other party’s entire sect?

Just as Chen Xun made up his mind to run away, an incomparably large sleeve suddenly changed in front of his eyes, as if it was devouring the heavens and earth. With a wave of his sleeve, he sucked the sword qi he spat out into his sleeve.

He saw that his sleeve had shrunk to its normal size, but it was a Taoist robe. Chen Xun thought that it was incomparably powerful. The Sword Qi that could slash the heavens and the earth swelled twice in that sleeve, and then it turned invisible, as if it didn’t exist in this world at all.

Only then did Chen Xun notice a middle-aged couple standing in front of him, staring at him with Mei Shanjing, while Ji Qianze ran behind them, staring at him nervously.

At this moment, dozens of Thousand Sword Sect disciples dressed in moon-white robes ran towards the mountain gate. They seemed to be alarmed by the strange phenomenon just now, and their eyes were filled with shock, suspicion, disbelief, disdain, and envy …

Chen Xun secretly got lucky. Fortunately, he didn’t chop the other party’s mountain gate apart. Otherwise, this scene wouldn’t be easy to deal with.

Of course, he could guess that the middle-aged couple in daoist robes in front of him was Ji Dongze and Ji Lie, the contemporary sect masters of the Thousand Swords Sect. He hurriedly cupped his fists and said humbly,

“This junior has comprehended the Thousand Sword Sect’s Ancestor Puppet. I’m so proud of myself for a moment. Please forgive me, Senior Daoist …”

“You ran to the Thousand Swords Sect and stood in front of our sect for seven days and seven nights. You comprehended the sword intent from the stone statues of the four ancestors of our sect. If this is called my enlightenment, then you still have to anger the disciples of our Thousand Swords Sect to death!” The middle-aged Taoist laughed heartily.

Chen Xun was slightly stunned. He didn’t expect that he had actually stood in front of the other party’s mountain gate for seven days and seven nights. As for the sword intent abnormality he had seen earlier, it was actually the sword intent technique that the four ancestors of the Thousand Swords Sect had left behind on the mountain gate.

Thinking of the Su Clan’s actions, Chen Xun’s hair on his back exploded with fear. However, if he wanted to escape from Ji Lie’s hands, he was so frightened that he almost ran away to save him. He could only cry out in horror, “This junior doesn’t know the rules of indecent assault. He misjudged the Thousand Sword Sect’s sword intent. I beg Senior to punish him. This junior is willing to shoulder it.”

“Haha,” Ji Lie waved his sleeve and smiled. “Our ancestors left the Sword Will Dharma Formation above the mountain gate to let the fated ones comprehend it. The Thousand Sword Sect is not as petty as you said. It’s just that their descendants didn’t sleep late and forgot about the purpose of the Thousand Sword Sect when they set up this mountain gate. “I don’t know what to thank you for escorting Dongze back to the sect. Since you have learned the sword art from our sect, it will cancel out …”

The beautiful young woman beside him glared at Ji Lie reproachfully and said, “It’s Young Hero Wu’s lucky chance to comprehend the Four Ancestral Dharma Forms. How could you be so shrewd? You actually want to repudiate her help to Senior Brother Li Yu and Dongze?”
