Chapter 186 - Bad feeling


Chapter 186: Chapter 186 Bad feelingTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Zong Shou was enlightened, he naturally heard of such a method before. Many martial cultivators would choose such a method when they were breaking through to ascended ancestor realm.

However, to build a stone hall entirely out of Tiegang stone was expensive. No wonder it was called Tiegang Hall, what a direct name. Just buying these stone alone was a heavy price. The grade 4 mind stones used every year would be several hundred too.

Actually in the last life, when he broke through to the ascended realm, in reality, he had done a similar thing. However, at that time, he didn’t need so much effort. He directly created a few characters in God Emperor and killed people and challenged them. That period was bloody and chaotic and killing was common. Although he didn’t kill them his sword was proven in actual battle, earning actual fighting experience and sword techniques.

However to suppress true qi. Wouldn’t a 9 emery’s Ian earth chakra Xuanwu ancestor not be much stronger than him? Why did he suddenly have such a bad feeling?

This Zhu Junhou was a caring person. Apart from the Tiegang Hall matter, no matter what Zong Shou asked, he would say he didn’t know or just avoid the question. He kept his secrets close to the chest. Zong Shou felt bored after a while and gave up on trying to get information from this person.

They used a full hour to get onto the peak of the mountain. Zong Shou looked out, only to see that this area was made into flat land, into a few hundred thousand square feet platform. At the 4 sides were many crossbow chariots. There were tens of feet wide crossbows, the bowstring was made up of beast tendons mixed with iron threads. A total of 400 of them protected Xuan Mountain City, making one’s body feel numb.

In the center of this area was a giant stone hall, it was a hundred feet tall and a thousand feet long.

It was made up of red Tiegang stone. Just as Zong Shou got close, he could feel the energy in his body showing signs of being suppressed.

Once Zong Shou stepped down from the carriage, he saw that a bunch of people was waiting at the stone steps.

Not only was Xuanyuan Yiren there, but there was also a middle-aged noblewoman, a 40 odd-year-old man wearing a robe and carrying a mandarin duck blade. There was also a young, well-read looking teen standing on the steps, coldly looking down on him.

Apart from the last person, the 2 before he had seen them standing on the tall building. Especially this noblewoman who he had some rough impression. As for the other person, he should be the other Xuanwu ancestor of Xuan Mountain City-Tan Tao. Towards these people from Xuan Mountain City, he knew a little.

Zong Shou’s face turned slightly serious, he adjusted his robe and walked in front of that woman, bowing deeply,” Zong Shou greets mother in law who hasn’t met you in 10 years. Are you okay? Zong Shou doesn’t have good luck, only meeting you once in 10 years. I remember in the past my father mentioned that your relationship with your husband was as strong as gold, I’m jealous. He hoped that Yiren and I would be as loving as you two…”

When Li Sina heard that her face changed, suddenly green, suddenly red. Her eyes were filled with shame and also anger.

This kid was simply too annoying! He specially raised the thing 10 years ago to stab at her for being an ungrateful person?

However, she could only bear with it, raising out her hand and acted like she was a friendly and virtuous person, “Prince please rise! Your marriage with Yiren hasn’t been officially set. I think you shouldn’t call me mother in law so quickly.”

Before she said anything, a light scoff spread from the staircase, “How shameless! We give you a little respect and you’re ready to abuse it! Yiren is a direct disciple of my Pill Fountain Sect. How are you even good enough to get her? Zong Shou, you need to know your place and scram Out of Xuan Mountain City…”

Zong Shou was slightly surprised, looking at him and asking, “Who is this person?” No matter how he looked he felt that it was similar to Long Batian.

Li Sina’s face revealed a smile but she didn’t reply, instead the one who spoke was Tan Tao, “He is Xuanyuan Yiren’s Senior Brother, the 6th direct disciple Fang Shu! He came to our Xuan Mountain City to be a guest. He is willing to stand up for justice, if the prince is free you can make friends with him…”

“Pill Fountain Sect? So it’s an outsider.”

Zong Shou gave an “oh” before nodding casually, “How rude!”

Saying that he turned around and didn’t care anymore. He didn’t exchange messages with Xuanyuan Yiren through their gazes, waiting solemnly beneath the stone steps, appearing as calm as a mountain, giving off a righteous and magnanimous atmosphere.

Fang Shu wasn’t happy with Zong Shou from the start, and now his eyes flowed coldly, killing intent apparent as he looked down at Zong Shou. Tan Tao also looked over with a cold and surprised expression.

Zong Shou was annoyed by this person, scolding out in his heart and started to be a little wary about him. Since they said that he stood up for justice, then he was the one who was the guy in the wrong. It was always the dog that didn’t bark that was the scariest.

Waiting for a short moment, Zhu Junhou who went in to report had returned. Walking beside Zong Shou to show that he didn’t dare to be ahead of him, bowing as he raised his hand to lead the way,” Prince, please! City lord Xuanyuan has been unwell and is unable to personally come out to welcome you, he is waiting in the hall…”

Zong Shou smiled and walked onto the stone staircase. Just as he walked in he felt that his energy was knocked below xiantian level. Following which he looked opposite, a white mustache man was sitting within that hall. His face was red, looking like he was young at about 20, not older than Yiren. He was the same as that Xuanyuan Tong in his memory from 10 years ago.

Zong Shou was looking at him whilst he was also judging him, his expression filled with sadness and also pity.

Once the group of them entered, the doors made of Xuan metal closed.

Zong Shou was surprised, looking behind him. Was Xuan Mountain City prepared to force his hand?

Li Sina brought Xuanyuan Yiren, Tan Tao and Luo Xian to sit on the right. Whilst Zhu Junhou directly stood beside Xuanyuan Tong, his hands by his side.

Xuanyuan Tong fixed his eyes on Zong Shou before slightly nodding, “Prince please sit! There’s no need for much courtesy…”

Zong Shou, however, bowed, before sitting opposite him.

In terms of identity as the next Gantian Mountain Monster king, he was better than Xuanyuan Tong. However, they were one full generation apart. That bow was for the relationship between both families and also because of Xuanyuan Yiren.

The outer hall was really wide and only a few of them remained. Ruo Shui remained in the carriage and didn’t follow whilst Hu Zhongyuan and Chuxue stood behind Zong Shou.

Xuanyuan Tong waves his sleeves and several servants walked over, placing tables in front of them. Not only was there water, fruits, and delicacies, but there was also wine. However, no one bothered. Even Chuxue sat still. The atmosphere within the stone hall was really serious.

Xuanyuan Tong was first to speak in the end, “Prince do you know why I can only stay in this Tiegang Hall during these 2 years?”

Zong Shou was startled, based on what that Zhu Junhou said, wasn’t it to try for the ascended ancestor realm? Was there another reason?

Thinking about before when Zhu Junhou said that he had problems on his body. He felt weird, a 9 meridian earth chakra Xuanwu ancestor with 5 million kilograms of strength, being able to smash mountains. What kind of illnesses could he have?

At that time, he thought that this city lord was purposely giving him the cold shoulder. However hearing his words now, he wondered whether he was sick?

“It is to prove and correct my marital path and check out its roots. But because I rushed it, there were some problems. I can only use this Tiegang Hall to suppress my energy meridians to drag it on…”

Without waiting for him to reply, he opened his mouth to explain, he asked again,” then does the prince know that my brother Weiran might not be dead?”

The moment he said that everyone was shocked. Not only Li Sina and Tan Tao were shocked, but even Hu Zhongyuan and Zong Yuan also stood up in astonishment.

This time Zong Shou was stunned. Since coming to this era, this was the first time someone told him Zong Weiran might still be alive.

Thinking about it his back was even straighter as he looked on seriously, looking at him straight in the eye, “Does City lord know more details. Are you willing to tell me?”

Xuanyuan Tong smiled, tilting the wine bottle in front of him and raising a cup to Zong Shou. Zong Shou was helpless and could only drink it. Only feeling that this wine was intense and filled with power. Just drinking it his head was dizzy. He didn’t mind, as martial cultivators, this bit of wine wasn’t much, using true qi one could force it out.

Only to hear him say expressionlessly, “I don’t know the details, but the Oblivion Cloud Ocean is a graveyard, but that’s to us earth realm cultivators. If one was ascended and above one might not die!”

Zong Shou’s eyes contracted, forgetting to pour wine, “City Lord, you are saying that my father is already an ascended ancestor?”

“The prince knows too little!”

Xuanyuan Tong shook his head and drank another glass of wine, “Actually Brother Weiran has become an ascended ancestor 6 years ago. Until half a year ago he was unable to hide it and some secret sects found him, forcing him into the oblivion cloud ocean. To use it might be a dead place but to him, it might be a way out. Prince, you must know that in the cloud world, anyone above ascended realm is unable to participate in the conflicts of the 5 continents. Brother Weiran went against that…”

Zong Shou followed and drank a glass, only feeling his mind failing him. In his memory didn’t Zong Weiran ascended after he got out from the cloud ocean.

However, his father wasn’t afraid of the 3 spiritual grandmasters of Lingyun Sect. Probably at that time he was far from the ascended ancestor realm.

But how did he fall in the future? Was he surrounded and killed by many experts?

All of a sudden it felt like cold water pouring down on him. He gave up hope on exceeding Zong Weiran in cultivation before he escaped.
