There are no ancestors at all; I made them all up.

Chapter 116 Yours, I Can Read Too [First Update]

"Master Dianhengzi".

Chen Qing's gaze swept past Leng Che, and he asked directly, "Can your esteemed disciple make such a promise on behalf of his master?"

Indigo Hengzi immediately smiled and said, "Che'er is the Dao Child of my manor, the future successor. His words and actions have their own profound meaning. Since he values ​​your potential and is willing to open the door of convenience, this is the predestined relationship between you and my Moonflower Manor..."

"Fate?" Ling Wan, who was listening from the side, couldn't help but exclaim, "Is being self-righteous also fate? Who do you think you are, Leng Che, to come here and presumptuously comment on Fellow Daoist Ji Ming? I think it's because your Moonflower Manor has lax rules, no distinction between superiors and inferiors! And your cultivation level is not deep enough to distinguish between good and bad, strong and weak!"

Having just witnessed Chen Qing's methods, she already felt somewhat inferior, so she naturally couldn't hold back when faced with Leng Che's words.

Chen Qing raised his hand to stop Ling Wan from speaking, and met Leng Che's cold gaze, saying, "I appreciate Fellow Daoist Leng's kindness. But the path of cultivation is about conforming to one's own heart. With the path ahead, one can make choices and weigh the pros and cons. As for the thickness of one's foundation, there is no need for others to worry about judging it."

Upon hearing this, Leng Che narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly: "The path to enlightenment is long and arduous; why be preoccupied with what is before your eyes?"

"Oh?" Chen Qing raised an eyebrow, a sense of unease rising in his heart.

A disciple casually recruits others, acting as if he were the sect leader—truly a reversal of the natural order. But the more the other party acted this way, the stranger Chen Qing found it; it seemed as if he intended to lure people in and then kill them, with no semblance of any other intention.

A look of regret appeared on Leng Che's face as he sighed, "Fellow Daoist Ji Ming, it is understandable that you have not grasped the profound mysteries of the Moonlight Dao and do not know its true essence. The Flowing Moon Dao I cultivate is of the same lineage as the Cold Moon Dao, though they share the same origin but flow differently. They possess some similar mysteries, so I will briefly demonstrate their wonders to you, as a way of enlightening you..."

Before he finished speaking, a strange red light suddenly blazed in his eyes, and a sinister divine thought pierced straight into Chen Qing's Niwan Palace!

"Um?!"

In Chen Qing's Niwan Palace, the Samadhi True Fire Talisman, the Tathagata Talisman, and the Void Spirit Talisman all trembled simultaneously!
Golden flames and Buddhist light intertwined with ripples in the void, then surged back with a roar!
"Ugh!" Leng Che groaned, staggering back several steps, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with shock. "How could this be..."

"You ambushed me?" Chen Qing's eyes suddenly turned icy cold. "You truly have no martial ethics!"

Within this vast and cold palace, the other party is acting so brazenly!

It's one thing to verbally belittle and suppress someone, but to launch a sneak attack without any warning is another!
With this thought in mind, he took a step forward, spread his five fingers, and aimed straight for Leng Che's throat!

Leng Che's heart skipped a beat, a deadly warning exploded in his mind, and he instinctively retreated!

"Don't misunderstand, Che'er is just anxious and wants to use his divine sense to explore the depth of your potential. He has no ill intentions." Dian Hengzi shouted, but his figure moved even faster, moving sideways to block between Chen Qing and Leng Che, and flicked his wide robe sleeves.

"call--"

The moonlight, like mercury spilling onto the ground, carried a sense of stagnation, enveloping the area about ten feet in front of Chen Qing, as if trying to forcibly freeze him in place!

"Misunderstanding? In that case, let me test his aptitude! Don't worry, I'll be careful!"

Chen Qing's momentum did not diminish at all. Instead of retracting his outstretched right hand, he suddenly clenched his fist with his five fingers bent!
"Om-"

Seventy-two sword talisman phantoms flowed, overlapped, and resonated beneath the skin of his palm!
The sharp, annihilating sword energy was compressed and confined to the palm of the hand by the Star Restriction Technique!

hum!
The sharp sword energy intertwined and changed, as if putting a glove on Chen Qing's hand, and he grabbed it in the process!
"Hey!"

The supple and dense power of moonlight was actually torn apart by Chen Qing's "sword palm"!

The aftershocks of the incomparably sharp sword energy grazed the sleeve of Dian Hengzi's robe, twisting the cuff into countless pieces of cloth!

Indigo Hengzi's expression changed drastically. He never expected that the sword energy contained in the opponent's seemingly reckless grab would be so domineering and unpredictable!

at this time!

The sound of breaking through the air!

More than a dozen yellow and green sword beams shot out from the edge of Chen Qing's palm, which had torn apart the moonlight!

Upon seeing this, Dian Hengzi waved his long sleeves, and the moonlight transformed into a ring, intending to engulf the sword's edge!
However, guided by the Void Talisman, these sword beams flickered and changed, drawing tricky and strange arcs. Most of them bypassed Dian Hengzi and struck Leng Che, who had just regained his footing behind him!

"Puff puff--"

Amidst the dense sounds of piercing!
Leng Che was blasted away like a tattered rag bag, crashing onto the icy ground ten feet away!
"Che'er!!!"

Indigo Hengzi's eyes were bloodshot. He dispelled the remaining sword energy, turned sharply to look at Chen Qing, his eyes flashing with anger and fear. His golden core aura exploded: "Junior! You have ruthless methods! My disciple kindly reminded you, and you suddenly resorted to cruelty!"

"Turning black into white." Chen Qing said coldly, undaunted, "I can see your physical attributes as well."

"You brat!" Indigo Hengzi was furious upon hearing this. A ball of clear light flashed in his belly and moved upward, about to fly out of his mouth!

Many disciples of Guanghan had already gathered around, trying to stop the fight, but at this moment they all gasped in shock!
A face-to-face encounter!
With the protection of a Golden Core cultivator, he severely injured one of his disciples!

"Junior Brother Jiming! Are you alright?"

Suddenly, Master Han Jing appeared beside Chen Qing. Having briefly learned the situation, his icy gaze locked onto Dian Hengzi, and he said in a cold voice, "You dare to ambush my junior brother? Do you really think there's no one in Hidden Star?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful, chilling aura rose from his body, colliding violently with the moonlight pressure of Dian Hengzi in the void, producing a deep rumble!
The clear light within the indigo seed's belly dimmed again.

Indigo Hengzi pointed at Leng Che, whose fate was unknown, and roared fiercely: "My disciple merely wished to enlighten him with divine sense and explore the depth of his potential. How could he have harbored any malicious intent?! It is clearly your junior brother who is vicious and launched a sudden attack! How is such behavior any different from that of the demonic path?! Han Jing! Your Hidden Star Sect must give my Moonflower Mansion an explanation!"

"What nonsense!"

Master Hanjing angrily rebuked: "My junior brother is insightful. Since he made a move, it must be that your wicked disciple who first harbored evil intentions! You have failed in your teaching, allowing your unworthy disciple to commit violence. He was outmatched and suffered a severe injury, yet you still have the nerve to bark here?! Fine, words are useless. Let's see who has the real skill."

“It’s my fault…” Just as the two golden core pressures were about to explode, a weak voice rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Leng Che, who was curled up on the ground, struggling to raise his head, with several strange black lines flashing under his skin.

"Master, please stop arguing. It was indeed my fault..."

He coughed up a mouthful of black blood and struggled to his feet.

"This disciple presumptuously attempted to use 'Moonlight Spirit Guiding' to resonate with Fellow Daoist Jiming's Yin-attribute Qi, allowing him to experience the wonders of the Moonlight Daoist Technique. Unexpectedly, Fellow Daoist's foundation is far more profound and his spiritual platform more stable than imagined. The attempt to guide his spirit failed, and instead, I suffered a backlash, which even led to Fellow Daoist's misunderstanding and retaliation. All of this is due to this disciple's recklessness and loss of restraint; it is truly my own fault!"

Leng Che, panting, raised one hand. A flash of light appeared in his palm, revealing a blood jade the size of a pigeon's egg, emanating a pure, chilling aura.

He was weak, adopting an extremely humble posture: "This 'Mysterious Yin Blood Amber' is offered as an apology for my earlier rudeness. I hope Fellow Daoist Jiming will not refuse, otherwise I will not be at peace. This item is born in an extremely Yin and desolate place, and it has miraculous effects on Yin-attribute cultivators in tempering their foundation and comprehending the true meaning of the Netherworld..."

Ling Wan, who was standing nearby, noticed the item and her eyes narrowed: "You actually have this."

"No need." Chen Qing didn't even look at him, his eyes still wary.

Just then.

"Indigo Hengzi! How dare you!"

Having just quelled the war among the hundred races, and exuding a murderous aura, Master Yun Shu descended into the arena. Her face was frosty, and her gaze was like a knife: "Dian Hengzi! Leng Che! You and your disciple dare to use your divine senses within the Guanghan Palace and stir up trouble!"

She had learned the whole story through the messages from the disciples who were observing. After landing, she transmitted her voice to Master Hanjing: "The Moonflower Palace has deep roots in the North. If we break off relations, your junior brother's pursuit of the true understanding will immediately be in vain! This cold and clear aura is strange and may not be an ordinary confrontation. There is something unusual about this matter. Guanghan, please take charge of the cause and effect here so that it will be convenient for you to act."

As he transmitted the message, Master Yun Shu raised his hand and pressed down!
"boom!"

The icy power of the Ice Soul descended with a deafening roar!

Leng Che was enveloped in the cold wind, a flash of red light appeared in his eyes, and the sound of bones breaking came from his whole body, but he didn't even utter a groan before he was completely frozen and suppressed by a layer of mysterious ice!
Withdrawing his hand, Master Yun Shu summoned his men and said coldly, "Take this scoundrel to the Xuanbing Death Prison and keep him under strict guard!"

"Yun Shu, you!" Indigo Hengzi was filled with shock and anger, and the moonlight around him surged as if to resist.

"You think you can get away unscathed after making a move?" Master Yun Shu said coldly, "Considering the remaining ties between Yuehua Mansion and my palace, I will refrain from fighting you for now! But if you dare to use even a fraction of your magic power again, don't blame me for using the palace rules to suppress you as well!"

Indigo Hengzi's face was ashen. Sensing the auras of several Golden Core cultivators from the Guanghan Palace around him, he suppressed his anger and squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth: "This matter is not over! My Yuehua Palace will definitely demand an explanation from your palace!" After saying that, he angrily flicked his tattered sleeves and transformed into moonlight, preparing to leave. However, he was stopped by two Golden Core cultivators from the Guanghan Palace. After a struggle, he landed in a quiet room in an ice cave in the distance.

Master Yun Shu's murderous aura subsided slightly, and he said to Master Han Jing, "This incident was due to the negligence of our palace, which caused you two to be disturbed. Our palace will thoroughly investigate this matter and give the Hidden Star Sect an explanation."

He spoke succinctly and then disappeared in a streak of ice.

The tense situation was thus resolved.

"This master and disciple pair have an eerie aura! The master seems to be under the control of the disciple!" Ling Wan withdrew her hand from the hilt of her sword. "That Leng Che has always been eccentric, but what he did today is truly incomprehensible! Does he not know what the consequences are for making a move in my Guanghan Palace?"

Chen Qing stared at the direction Leng Che was being taken away, his brows furrowed. He felt that Leng Che's actions were not so simple and were definitely not a momentary rash decision.

Master Hanjing's expression was solemn. He said, "This feud has been formed. The Daoist disciple of Yuehua Mansion is cunning and treacherous. It's better not to pursue the path of Hanyue! We need to be more cautious in our future choices."

"Senior Brother Han Jing..."

A voice drifted from afar; it was the True Person Jiyue arriving on the ice. She nodded slightly to Han Jing and said to Chen Qing, "The trouble at Yuehua Mansion has disturbed your peaceful cultivation, which was an oversight on our part. To express our apologies, the Sect Master has granted Fellow Daoist Jiming permission to enter the Xuan Shuang Dao Realm for a visit."

"The Profound Frost Dao Realm?" True Person Han Jing's expression shifted slightly: "This is the fundamental inheritance site of your sect. Opening a Dao Realm before verifying the Great Sun Dao Technique is against the rules, isn't it?"

Master Jiyue smiled faintly and said, "The Dao realm is profound and mysterious. Those who do not cultivate my Guanghan Method or the same source of true meaning cannot fathom its essence. However, the inheritance within is deep and mysterious. Even if one comprehends some methods on the periphery, it will be beneficial for tempering the Yin spirit and comprehending the Xuan Yin. Consider this an apology, and also take this opportunity to see what kind of true understanding Fellow Daoist Jiming is suitable for."

"Oh?" A cold glint flashed in Master Hanjing's eyes. "But my junior brother has extraordinary talent, turning decay into wonder is nothing to him! If he is truly fortunate enough to glimpse the true meaning of Guanghan from the Xuanshuang Dao Realm and see the Dao path, my Hidden Star Sect will not take advantage of him for nothing! The Great Sun True Flame Dao path method will still be offered with both hands as an exchange. However, we cannot just give it to you. We must also find a Yin-attribute true interpretation that suits him from other sects."

Master Jiyue laughed, first shaking his head, but seeing Master Hanjing's seriousness, he nodded and said, "If there is such an opportunity, I will certainly grant it. I will accept this on behalf of the Palace Master."

"There's no time to lose," she said, turning to Ling Wan who was standing to the side. "Wan'er, you should lead Fellow Daoist Jiming to the entrance of the Xuan Shuang Dao Realm. Fellow Daoist is new to Beiming and unfamiliar with the mysteries of the Ice Soul. You must protect him carefully and stay by his side at all times."

Ling Wan clasped her hands in greeting and replied, "This disciple obeys!"

"Thank you very much, Master." Chen Qing also clasped his hands in thanks.

After Chen Qing and Ling Wan left, Master Jiyue took half a step forward and lowered her voice: "Senior Brother Hanjing, your junior brother previously inhaled and exhaled pure Yang true fire, burning away Bai Lingbingyu. Could it be that he refined the Golden Core of the newly awakened old man into an external core?"

Master Hanjing said calmly, "Cultivation is a matter of personal destiny."

Master Jiyue did not press further, but instead said, "Although the Hundred Races have retreated, the Northern Border remains restless, and there may be remnants lurking. Senior Brother, you have been through many battles and your Ice Soul Profound Technique is highly refined. Would you be willing to patrol the defense line with me?"

Master Hanjing shook his head slightly: "The golden core in my belly still needs to be polished. My junior sister can handle the inspection." He turned around and walked straight towards "Yunbing Residence".

Jiyue Zhenren stood alone in place, shaking her head helplessly.

"Still the same."

　The second update will probably be quite late...
