A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

"Yes."

"I not only obtained the Secret of the Former Word, but also learned many Chaotic Ancient Emperor Techniques, including the Chaotic Ancient Sacred Technique," Lin Xiu frankly admitted.

He wasn't afraid at all; in fact, he almost burst out laughing.

Because this crane had really bad luck.

......

After receiving Lin Xiu's confirmation, the crane showed neither any intention of avenging Wang Teng nor to linger, and immediately said:

"In that case, come with me back to the Northern Plains to undergo the Emperor's test."

"Only by passing the tests at each stage can you walk in the world as the successor of the Great Emperor."

Having said that, the crane curled its wings, and white feathers fell.

After the feathers fell, the countless white feathers transformed into endless chains of Dao principles, heading straight for Lin Xiu's true form!

The sage's power is unmatched in this world!

However, just as the white light was about to touch Lin Xiu's clothes... a withered hand appeared out of thin air!

"Bang~"

Gai Jiuyou pressed down lightly.

The chains of the crane's Dao principles crumbled inch by inch, and its holy might vanished instantly like bubbles!

The crane was terrified, its pupils shrinking sharply.

But before he could react further, Gai Jiuyou had already arrived in front of him!

"Click~"

Gai Jiuyou casually grasped the crane's slender neck, squeezed it slightly, and then threw it in front of Lin Xiu.

The crane was about to react when it discovered that... its divine sense and divine power had been completely sealed off at some point!

The crane lay dead on the ground, its mind blank.

His attack was extinguished with a single palm strike?

He himself was also directly banned?

But.......

In his perception, shouldn't this old man be a mortal with a low level of cultivation?

How could he suddenly unleash such power?

It took the crane a while to come to its senses after the shock.

The old man, who appeared no different from an ordinary person in his perception, had clearly concealed his cultivation level!

Depend on!

That's so sneaky!

Are all high-level cultivators like this?

Chapter 236 The Chaotic Ancient Emperor: A Karmic Bond Remains Unpaid

Despite being an animal, the crane exudes a rather anthropomorphic, utterly exasperated look.

What on earth is going on here?

You just randomly step out the door and run into the Great Sage? Isn't this supposed to be a difficult era for the Dao?

The crane's assessment of Gai Jiuyou's strength was quite conservative.

On the one hand, he could hardly imagine that he could encounter the Supreme Being just by going out casually.

On the other hand, Gai Jiuyou did indeed use a secret technique to temporarily lower his cultivation level in exchange for preventing his Dao injury from worsening and extending his lifespan.

Of course... it doesn't matter to him whether it's the Great Sage or the Supreme Being, it's all the same as it's just a matter of one move.

......

Gai Jiuyou originally just wanted to help Lin Xiu solve a problem.

But upon realizing the crane's true identity and the methods it practiced, he immediately frowned and smiled broadly.

"Bird Boy, you just said you were going to take Lin boy to the Northern Plains?"

Crane: "......."

No, I didn't, I didn't say that, don't talk nonsense. The crane really wanted to say that.

But... who told him to introduce himself in the first place?

"Senior, I only wanted to take him on a training trip; I had no intention of harming him," the crane said somewhat awkwardly.

"Of course you didn't mean to hurt him."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so lenient."

"Judging from your words, you are the guardian of the legacy of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor?"

Gai Jiuyou smiled very kindly, which made the crane feel a little uneasy.

Of course, despite the panic, when Gai Jiuyou uttered the words "Great Emperor of Chaos", the crane felt that its life was definitely not in danger.

Everyone here is a high-level cultivator at the Saint level or above. They are all respectable people. Surely they wouldn't disrespect the Chaotic Ancient Emperor?

"Senior guessed correctly. I am indeed the guardian of the legacy of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, and I am tasked with finding a successor for him."

"The golden age is coming soon. The successor of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor should be born to compete with the successors of other emperors for the path to the throne."

The crane's words actually conveyed the same meaning as before: to take Lin Xiu away.

However, in front of Gai Jiuyou, he had to use an extremely euphemistic way of speaking.

There's nothing we can do; that's just how the rules are.

He didn't care whether Wang Teng knelt or not, but since Lin Xiu had learned the Emperor's Scripture and Law of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, he should return to the Northern Plains with him to undergo the test!

.......

"The Great Emperor of Chaos is looking for a successor!"

"No problem, no problem. Young Lin is also very interested in the legacy of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, right, young Lin?" Gai Jiuyou looked at Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu immediately replied:

"That's right! The Chaotic Ancient Emperor suffered a hundred defeats but persevered, and he is one of the emperors I admire most!"

"Even the profound meaning of the Heart Sutra that I created was written with deep reverence for the Great Emperor of Chaos!"

Lin Xiu's words were true. His "Great Victory Immortal Scripture" is all about winning every time, and even a hundred defeats are still a victory.

Crane: "......."

The crane was somewhat speechless. What did it mean to be "one of the most revered emperors"? Couldn't he be the only one?

He always felt that Lin Xiu was slandering the Ancient Emperor, but he couldn't find any evidence.

It's impossible for Lin Xiu to produce the Heart Sutra he created on the spot, right? Gai Jiuyou is still here!

......

"By the way, little bird, there's something I need to tell you beforehand." Gai Jiuyou was preparing to explain things to the crane to avoid any trouble later.

"What is it? Please enlighten me, senior."

"Actually, it's not a big deal."

"It's just that Lin boy still carries the inheritance of other Great Emperors, so don't worry about it too much." Gai Jiuyou's tone was casual, as if it were a very trivial matter.

"Huh? The legacy of another emperor?...Isn't he the Holy Body?"

The crane was completely paralyzed.

He had heard of Lin Xiu's reputation and knew that Wang Teng had always wanted to suppress Lin Xiu, this great saintly body.

The result... Now, tell him that Lin Xiu has the inheritance of other Great Emperors besides the Holy Body lineage?

The lineage of the Holy Body is fine, since no Great Emperor has ever emerged from that lineage. However, if Lin Xiu is the successor of another Great Emperor, that's a different story!

“He is a sacred body, but he also cultivates the imperial scriptures of me, the Azure Emperor, and the Western Queen Mother,” Gai Jiuyou said with a smile.

"Huh? The Imperial Scripture?"

"You?...Who are you?"

The crane didn't mean any disrespect to Gai Jiuyou; it simply felt that Gai Jiuyou might have mispunctuated the sentence.

If he heard correctly, Gai Jiuyou said... his Imperial Scripture?

......

“My name is… Gai Jiuyou,” Gai Jiuyou announced calmly.

Upon hearing the name, several of the crane's feathers stood up instantly.

"Cai Jiuyou?"

"Gai Jiuyou, who was invincible nine thousand years ago?!"

"You!...You've become an emperor?"

"Emperor Cheng?"

Gai Jiuyou smiled and shook his head, a hint of sadness appearing on his face.

"I haven't become an emperor yet. If I were to fight the Dark Sovereign, I could only take one away at most, which is not comparable to a true emperor."

Crane: "......."

The crane felt that it still needed to see and learn more.

When you can show off as smoothly as Gai Jiuyou, that's when you'll have mastered the art.

The crane didn't know what the Great Emperor was, but he felt that someone like Gai Jiuyou, who had lived for nine thousand years, should already have combat power comparable to a Great Perfection Saint Body.

Without such combat power, how could one fight against the Dark Lord?
