Chapter 1199 - 1090: Which Ancestor?
On a road.
A formidable and extraordinary group of people are on the move.
All of them are riding Electric Horned Horses, except for one young man who is riding a Bishui Niu.
“Young Master Shuijing, why did you act against those two? Are they worth it?”
Lei Xiao looked at Shui Jing with a puzzled face.
He was still completely bewildered by what Shui Jing had just done.
Shui Jing smiled and said:
“Just a test.”
“They… if I’m not mistaken, should be of the Forebears’ bloodline.”
The bloodline of Forebears!
Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao’s face changed dramatically, and he immediately pulled on the reins, saying:
“They are the remnants of the Forebears… I’ll go back now and execute them!”
Within Lei Ting, there is an unspoken rule that any sighting of the Forebears’ bloodline should lead to immediate execution without discussion!
“Execute them?”
Shui Jing laughed and said:
“If you kill them, I’m afraid you’ll regret it, my lord.”
Lei Xiao replied coldly: “Regret? Young Master Shuijing, has the Waterway Imperial Court not told you that the remnants of the Forebears must not be spared?!”
Shui Jing said:
“That was in the past.”
“The Forebears of the past were indeed the common enemies of all the great imperial courts…but for those who choose the Path of Parasitism, the Forebears are not enemies but treasures.”
He smiled and continued:
“Don’t forget, the Forebears emerged from the darkness. To find suitable seeds for parasitism, who is better than those with the Forebears’ bloodline?”
“They are the truly perfect Heavenly Destined Children!”
Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao’s face changed!
Indeed, the Heavenly Destined Child is meant to find those born from the Origin of Darkness or those who have encountered darkness yet survived…
And the Forebears… completely fit this condition.
The Forebears emerged from the darkness by carrying fire, and their descendants are naturally the most suitable.
“I see… but then, why should we leave them be instead of taking them away immediately?!”
Lei Xiao asked.
Shui Jing said:
“Do not underestimate those Forebears.”
“Some among the Forebears still possess a powerful foundation, and if we really take action, you and I might not be their match…”
“I did not reveal their identity but took the opportunity to spar to test their limits. Those two siblings have extraordinary strength!”
“Their Cultivation Level is only in the Fuyao Realm, but under my Kunpeng Method, they didn’t die—they just retreated a few hundred steps… This is proof enough of their abilities.”
Hearing this, Lei Xiao’s eyes also became solemn.
Indeed, Shui Jing is a genius of the Waterway Imperial Court, and yet these two minor cultivators from the countryside could survive his blow and not be severely wounded…
This suggests that the Fan Family… has a deep foundation.
“Those two pills of mine may seem like poison, but in fact, they are two Gu Insects named Water Source Worms, a unique product of our imperial court that no one can resolve,”
Shui Jing went on, saying with a smile:
“The surface layer of poison can be cured with the help of a strong person above the Breath Soil Realm, and I can sense through those two Gu Insects at any time whether the poison has been neutralized and also locate their position…”
“If it is neutralized, it means they still have high-level experts in the Breath Soil.”
“Then we should call in stronger forces to capture them, as they can’t escape.”
“If it is not neutralized, then we just need to wait for them to obediently come to Thunder Emperor City.”
In Shui Jing’s eyes, there was such ease, as he confidently said:
“Everything is under control.”
After listening to Shui Jing’s words, Lei Xiao couldn’t help but admire him immensely, saying:
“It is Young Master Shuijing whose plans are far-reaching and well-thought-out… Otherwise, Lei Xiao’s impulsivity might have indeed ruined the grand scheme!”
As he spoke, he added:
“It’s a pity, now I understand, the bloodline of the Forebears is indeed the best seed for the Parasitic Method… In the past, quite a few remnants of the Forebears had attacked our Thunder Path Imperial Court…”
Shui Jing asked: “Are they still alive?”
Lei Xiao shook his head and said:
“They were killed. Their entire bodies were treasures; their hearts and internal organs were used to feed Thunderbirds, their skin made into war drums, and their bones into stairways. Only their skulls remain, hanging in the Thunder Path Pure Land as a warning to others.”
Shui Jing also let out a deep sigh and said:
“Indeed, it’s such a waste…”
“By the way, Young Master Shuijing, your Kunpeng Method… truly terrifying.”
Lei Xiao sincerely praised again.
Shui Jing smiled and said:
“This Kunpeng Method was also derived from those Forebears… boiling their bones in soup can extract their Divine Skills symbols.”
Lei Xiao heard the words, paused for a moment, then slapped his forehead and said:
“Now that you mention it… what a pity… Can I still make soup by dismantling the bone steps when I get back?”
Shui Jing replied:
“Not fresh anymore, those divine runes of innate talent… have long since dissipated.”
Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao was instantly filled with extreme regret.
However, he then thought… there was still a chance, after all, Bianleicheng was still home to many forebears!
…
Fan Family.
“What? Ancestor? The master of our ancestor?”
Both Fan Qingyun and Fan Changshou were shocked and baffled.
“Which generation of ancestors are you talking about?”
Fan Qingyun inquired.
Fan Paiming spoke with a strained expression:
“The very first generation, one of the twelve original forebears.”
Upon hearing this, Fan Qingyun and Fan Changshou were even more stunned.
“Are you sure?!”
Fan Changshou asked:
“That is to say… you encountered their last incarnation? Then, what about their master? What’s that all about?!”
He felt an endless array of questions arising!
This must involve the great secrets of heaven and earth.
“Quick, recount everything about your trip to the Hanque Mountain Range, spare no details!”
Fan Qingyun even more urgently spoke up.
Immediately, Fan Yaoyao and Fan Paiming narrated the whole experience.
After listening, Fan Qingyun and Fan Changshou fell into a shocked silence.
“My god… a being to whom even Forbidden Beasts of the forbidden lands pay their respects as if to a demonic deity…”
“An entity that could even erase the black smoke…”
Fan Qingyun felt as if this were all a fantastical dream.
The black smoke is unquenchable.
This is a commonly accepted truth in the world, and in some sense, the reason the Thunder Path Imperial Court dares not venture to the Hanque Mountain Range is fear of the black smoke.
But that Senior Li… was truly terrifying.
Even more formidable than the Imperial Court…
“The key is that village…”
Fan Changshou, now agitated, said:
“Forbidden Village… it sounds just like the Pure Land of Life established by our forebears!”
“Moreover, that being was raising an existence resembling the White Tiger… I think, he, he could possibly be the one referred to by the Divine Jumper!”
The one referred to by the Divine Jumper!
Hearing this, Fan Yaoyao and Fan Paiming were also shocked.
Now they understood from Fan Changshou’s words that the supreme being mentioned by the Divine Jumper was beyond imagination, and even the Lamp of Origin must have been his handiwork…
But remembering how Li Fan casually tossed away the Lamp of Origin in Origin Valley…
It hinted that the Lamp of Origin truly wasn’t much to Li Fan…
Most likely it was indeed so!
At this moment, all four were engulfed in profound shock!
“Right, Senior Li also mentioned that he wanted us to help search for the traces of some individuals…”
Right away, Fan Yaoyao described the ten disciples of Li Fan, as well as Jiang Xue, Xinning, and Yun Xi, among others.
Hearing this, both Fan Qingyun and Fan Changshou were even more astonished.
They exchanged looks…
“Now it seems, not only our old ancestor but all eleven forebears have become disciples of this formidable character… This is terrifying.”
Fan Qingyun muttered in awe.
But Fan Changshou, eyes gleaming with realization, said:
“The fish-raising disciple of Senior Li is most likely the founder of the Kunpeng Method!”
“And today that Shui Jing… he was using the Kunpeng Method!”
Upon hearing this, everyone was amazed.
This meant that there could very well be a clue on the side of the Waterway Imperial Court!
“Let’s go, to the small mountain village, to pay our respects to this senior and the ancestor!”
Fan Changshou immediately spoke up:
“Now I understand why the prophecy of the Divine Jumper mentioned that the recapture of the Sacred Origin Thunder Path collapsed… with the ancestor and his master appearing, the Way of Thunder is bound to break!”
…..
Good night.
