Grandpa, times have changed.

The sky was bright and clear, and a gentle breeze was blowing.

Eastern Wilderness.

A corner of the ancestral land of the human race.

The terrifying storm of sword energy subsided.

Clang!
With a crisp clang of metal clashing, a long sword spun out.

It flew for more than ten meters before stopping, the tip of the sword piercing the ground, with most of the blade still embedded.

Soon, a young man was also sent flying backward, rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop. His hair was disheveled, his breathing was disordered, and he remained motionless, looking quite disheveled.

And opposite him.

Chi Jiuyu twirled her sword beautifully, then sheathed it behind her back, feeling a sense of relief mixed with some worry.

Own……

Did I go too far?

Fortunately, the motionless young man quickly sat up, wincing in pain from the intense pain emanating from all over his body.

After taking a few deep breaths to ease the pain, he smiled and said:
"happy!"

"Your sword has the shadow of both your master and your senior master."

“There is another kind of sword that is at a very high level, but is completely different from the swords of my master and my senior master.”

As he spoke, he pointed his fingers like a sword and immediately produced a dazzling band of light, like starlight.

It is the Star Sword from the Seven Swords of Moonlit Mist.

Chi Jiuyu had only used it once before he learned it.

"It has a bit of the style of Uncle Chenhuan, but Uncle Chenhuan's swordsmanship should not have reached this level yet."

His eyes were full of curiosity.

"..."

Chi Jiuyu fell silent.

To be honest, even though we won, the feeling of watching someone learn my skills after just one encounter is still quite complicated.

Is this the true value of the former number one genius of the human race...?

Their kendo talent is probably no less than mine.

"Who exactly are you?" Cheng Kong pressed on.

This person's magical power, supernatural abilities, combat experience, and spiritual perception all surpassed his own, completely exceeding his understanding of the Yangwu Realm.

Even more strangely, he felt that this mysterious person's swordsmanship talent was no less than his own...

impossible!
This is definitely an old monster pretending to be young!

Cheng Kong, who had complete confidence in his swordsmanship talent, said with certainty.

I'm just a lonely fisherman passing through this point in time...

Chi Jiuyu inwardly complained, but on the surface he pretended to be calm and collected, displaying the demeanor of a master.

"I am Chi Jiuyu, the number one genius in all the heavens and myriad realms, and also the strongest in history... Yang Wu."

For some reason, the moment she saw her third senior brother, she had an urge to beat him up.

"fart!"

Cheng Kong blurted it out.

"I am the number one prodigy!"

"So, did you win?" Chi Jiuyu asked, glancing at him sideways.

Cheng Kong was speechless for a moment, holding back for quite a while:

"how old are you?"

Hey!

Isn't that hitting the nail on the head?

"You just turned eighty-one, what's wrong?"

This is her real age displayed on her personal profile page on the Tai Xuan Immortal Network, which is officially verified and not something she made up.

"Impossible!" Cheng Kong struggled to his feet.

Eighty-one years old?
How could someone reach this point at this age?
So what does it mean that he's 281 years old this year?!

Did they waste their lives on dogs?

I'm in a panic!

Chi Jiuyu was very pleased with himself, but on the surface he still pretended to be calm and nonchalant.

There's no benefit in lying to you.

As she spoke, a hint of melancholy crept into her voice.

"I reached the Yangwu Realm at the age of twenty-two, but unfortunately, I wasted nearly sixty years and still failed to reach the Xuanwu Realm."

Cheng Kong: "..."

Oh shit!

He thought he had already been pretentious enough.

I never expected this person to be even better at pretending than me!
“You’re lying!” He calmed down. “If you really had this talent, your master couldn’t have missed you.”

Given his master's style, he would definitely take her under his wing and devote all his resources to nurturing her.

Just like himself.

And if things were really as exaggerated as she described, she would have been famous throughout the Tai Xuan Realm long ago.

"If you think it's fake, then it's fake," Chi Jiuyu said calmly.

Cheng Kong felt even more aggrieved than comforted.

He even began to reflect on himself.

It's all for naught, all for naught.

Have you fallen to this level?

Whether it's true or not, the fact remains that this person defeated you head-on with her cultivation at the Yangwu Realm, and that her swordsmanship is superior to yours.

"So, you really are from Yangwujing?"

"Genuine or genuine."

"..." Cheng Kong remained silent for a long while. "Where exactly did you come from?"

almost.

Third Senior Brother will become a Dongzhen in the future, and a super awesome Extreme Sword Master.

If you really offend him, you'll be in big trouble.

We've already fought him, and we've seen him break down; that's enough.

“Actually, I come from the future,” Chi Jiuyu said sincerely.

"The future...?" Cheng Kong asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Strictly speaking, I should call you Third Senior Brother."

"So you're also Master's disciple?"

Cheng Kong already believed it.

After all, it's impossible for a genius to surpass him in this era!
If it's the future...

That's hard to say.

"No, I am from the Sword Master lineage. Your master, the Sword Ancestor, is my uncle."

Senior Uncle?

My master has actually taken on a disciple?!
But thinking about it carefully, it seems quite normal that her master would accept her as a disciple, given that her swordsmanship talent was only slightly inferior to his own.

"What will the future be like?"

It should be a great era, otherwise, a sword cultivator like her, only slightly inferior to herself, wouldn't have emerged.

“The future is bright. According to my uncle, there hasn’t been a better era in all these years.”

Have to admit.

He was able to defeat his third senior brother in the same realm, but besides having a slightly better talent in swordsmanship, the progress of the times also played a part in the reason.

The two had their own thoughts, but in some aspects they were surprisingly in agreement.

This is probably a common trait among top-tier sword cultivators.

"And what about me? What will my future self be like?" Cheng Kong asked again.

"Senior brother, you..." Chi Jiuyu hesitated for a moment, "...are dead."

"Yeah."

The reaction to the empty shell was not significant.

……

……

dark.

It was still the familiar, almost boundless darkness.

However, the pressure coming from all directions had lessened considerably, so my mind wasn't as foggy as it had been before.

It was enough to support her thinking and recalling some things.

Third senior brother...

To be honest, this meeting actually overturned her previous impression of her third senior brother.

Installed.

He's very good at pretending.

It can hold a lot!

He's the kind of person who makes you want to punch him just by looking at him.

Just like herself... Chi Jiuyu was still very self-aware.

Surprisingly, when he said he was dead, he seemed quite calm.

It was as if it had been expected all along.

He even added later that he died to save his uncle, and he actually seemed somewhat happy about it?
Hey~
Third senior brother...

I guess I'll end up like Senior San Shi and Senior Wu Shi, right?

With a sigh, Chi Jiuyu looked around.

But they found that the darkness had begun to recede, and the blurry images were starting to appear.

A senior martial uncle stood in the clouds, sword in hand, facing countless giant silver wolves alone.

There were also nights when torrential rain poured down, and lightning snakes danced wildly, only to be torn apart by the crimson sword light that illuminated the heavens.

A perfect being with silver markings on its face fell down.

Furthermore, a senior martial uncle walked through the Temple of Time, bowing to a figure high on a pitch-black throne.

There are those who became immortals after their martial uncles ascended to heaven, but there are also those who did not become immortals before.

Each image comes from a different point in time, scattered and chaotic, rather than moving forward continuously.

In other words, the next point in time you travel to may not be the one after the point in time you just stopped at.

A sudden realization dawned on Chi Jiuyu.

The reason I was able to witness each and every person my uncle met in order, starting from when he first arrived in the Tai Xuan Realm, was because my master and the three seniors had left me with a backup plan.

Now that the agreement has ended, she will, like everyone else, travel through chaotic historical moments.

Where you go depends entirely on luck.

Just as her thoughts were turning, a sudden burst of light pierced through the boundless, rolling darkness.

……

……

Heavenly Realm.

Wanzu Academy

A palace complex high in the clouds, inside an extremely luxurious palace.

“I have verified that the ‘Tao Ji’ method is indeed feasible.”

The sound echoed in the hall, ethereal and light, and one could clearly feel the joy contained within it.

Dressed in white, with a flawless face, eyes like glass, displaying seven colors, and a seven-colored mark between her brows.

He looks like an ordinary member of the Cang clan.

day!
One of the four ancestors of the Cang Clan, transcending worldly affairs and looking down upon the mortal realm!

He sat before a jade table.

Opposite him stood Hong, dressed in blue, looking extremely dashing.
"Don't worry, I've already sent it back to the clan. But what about Xu Xing, Kui, and Hua? Should they...?"

"Just pass it on to them." Tian said calmly, "The Myriad Races Academy aims to pave the way for all beings. All beings in all realms can obtain it, regardless of their individual stance."

The few that Hong mentioned are indeed now Gu's heavenly generals.

But so what?
The anchor has been planted; once they touch that almost insurmountable barrier, it will be time for them to reap the harvest!

The thought that a plan he had been scheming for an entire era was about to be realized stirred a thrill within him, even for someone as indifferent as He.

But He quickly suppressed that emotion.

At times like these, it's crucial to avoid making mistakes.

Just then, a member of the Cang Clan at the Cave True Realm entered and bowed to the sky.

"Reporting to the Heavenly Ancestor, Xu Xing, a heavenly general under the command of the Ancient Ancestor, has come to visit."

He felt a little strange when he reported this.

The Ancient Ancestor and the Great Ancestor had just finished a great battle, and this key member of the Ancient Ancestor's forces hadn't even fully recovered from his injuries, so how did he end up in the Heavenly Realm?

"Looks like they're looking for you," Tian said with a light laugh.

For someone as indifferent as Him, the number of times a smile appears on His face is extremely rare.

Clearly, He is in a very good mood right now.

"I won't bother you any longer. You can also take this opportunity to pass on the 'Daoji' method to him."

Having said that, He stood up.

Upon seeing this, Hong quickly stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Heavenly Ancestor."

Tian nodded slightly and led the Dongzhen Cang clan member out.

Soon after, they encountered Xu Xing waiting outside the palace.

He carried a long sword that was entirely crimson and shimmered with divine light, and his aura was somewhat weak.

"Greetings, Heavenly Ancestor."

In the heavens' observation, the path he led was as radiant as the sun, pure and intense, as if it could separate and sever everything.

However, at this moment, he was enveloped and entangled by a cold, eerie power, making him appear somewhat weak.

It is the power of the Howling Moon Demon Wolf Clan's emperor, and now he is also a Cave True level existence. Just like Xu Xing is an absolute main force among the Heavenly Generals under the Ancient Throne, he is also an absolute main force under the Grand Throne.

This man and the wolf fought fiercely every time, their battles raging until the sky darkened.

After thinking for a moment, Tianxin had a sudden thought and directly removed that cold and eerie power.

Xu Xing was taken aback when he sensed the change in himself.

"I'll help you this time for Hong's sake."

The method of 'Dao Ji' has been completed, and every human being who has attained enlightenment has the potential to become the opportunity for them to break free from the control of the Heavenly Dao of the Tai Xuan Realm.

Therefore, He is not stingy in offering help.

"Thank you, Heavenly Ancestor."

"Yes, then focus on your cultivation."

After offering a word of encouragement, Tian led the Dongzhen Cang clan member away.

Watching them walk away, Xu Xing withdrew his gaze, turned around, and walked into the palace.

Upon arriving at the main hall, he went directly to sit down opposite Hong.

Without any hesitation, he picked up the spirit wine on the jade table and took a swig.

Seeing this, Hong took out another jar of wine and pushed it over. Sensing the listless aura emanating from Xu Xing, he frowned.

"Did something happen?"

Xu Xing has been a Heavenly General of the Gu Na faction for many years and has been injured many times, but he has never suffered such a serious and outwardly visible 'Dao injury'.

"I got tricked once, but it's okay, that wolf didn't have it easy either."

Xu Xing put down the wine pot in his hand.

"It's a good opportunity to take a break for a while."

There are usually no opportunities to rest.

After all, he is a foreign general under Gu's command. If he doesn't stand at the forefront, should the Cang Clan's Dongzhen General stand at the forefront?

What is the significance of those ancient tricks?
"I heard that Ji even sought you out, wanting to have a match with you?"

Kill!
The strongest Cave True Immortal of the Cang Clan.

He is very famous in the Tai Xuan Realm, and all beings believe that he is the number one after the four ancestors of the Cang Clan.

"Ah."

"The results of it?"

"We lost," Xu Xing said with a smile.

It's impossible to win.

Winning against the calamity brings nothing but trouble and no benefit.

“Even that wolf was defeated by him, so of course I can’t beat him either.”

Come to think of it, that wolf was quite the actor.

Although I've faced him many times over the years, I still can't be sure how much he's hiding.

There's nothing we can do about it.

After all, working under that guy, it's not a good thing to stand out too much or be too mediocre.

"Is that so..."

Hong sighed softly.

"Let's get down to business. You've really come at the right time this time."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Xu Xing asked, puzzled.

He just happened to be resting and came to visit; he really didn't have any other purpose.

"The method of 'Tao' has been completed."

Xu Xing's smile faded, and his expression turned serious.

“Tianzu has already verified it and confirmed it’s feasible,” Hong added. “I will then pass it on to you.”

"..." After a long silence, "Is this really okay? I am a Heavenly General of the Ancient Na faction."

"The Academy of Ten Thousand Races aims to pave the way for all living beings, which is also the will of the Heavenly Ancestor."

“The Heavenly Ancestor remains as selfless as ever,” Xu Xing sighed.

“Mm.” Hongye nodded in agreement.

That's what they said, but only they know what they were really thinking...

wrong!

Perhaps even Heaven knows.

But He didn't care. (End of Chapter)
