23: Sixth generation ancestor?

Bang, bang, bang!

After the ten consecutive draws, Lin Yang casually dealt with the attacking demonic beasts, then leaped up and sped off into the distance.

-----------------

Above the mountain range.

Jiang Yuhao was slaughtering everything in his path, and no demonic beast could get within three zhang of him.

Behind him, Chu Qing and Huo Cang pursued relentlessly, both convinced that Jiang Yuhao must know the location of the Ancestral Masters' Legacy, and thus they followed him closely.

This greatly annoyed Jiang Yuhao.

Because he truly knew the location of the Legacy left by the Ancestral Masters!

During his last entry into the Ancestral Land, he had thoroughly figured out the general situation of this Small World.

The Small World was broadly divided into inner and outer regions.

The outer region was a vast mountain range infested with demonic beasts, which was exactly where they currently were.

And the inner region was the burial ground and Legacy location of the Saint Essence Sect's successive Ancestral Masters.

However, to reach the inner region, one first needed to find the correct path to leave the outer region.

Otherwise, one would only wander aimlessly in this vast demonic beast mountain range, like a headless fly.

And each time the Ancestral Land opened, there were only a mere ten days; last time, he had spent too much time searching for the path, which resulted in him failing to obtain the precious Ancestral Master's Legacy from the inner region.

But fortunately, with the experience from last time, his movements this time were significantly faster, and he was determined to obtain the Ancestral Master's Legacy hidden in the inner region.

It was just that, why should he share the route he had painstakingly discovered with these two sticky nuisances behind him?

Rumble!

Just as Jiang Yuhao was contemplating how to shake off Chu Qing and Huo Cang, a sudden thunderbolt struck from the sky, splitting open a hundred-zhang-long spatial rift not far in front of the three of them.

From within that rift, a glowing skeleton slowly floated out.

The skeleton appeared to have long since passed away, yet it remained as white as jade, imbued with a peaceful Qi, and an immense, ocean-like terrifying pressure emanated from it.

"I, the Sixth Ancestor of the Saint Essence Sect, Payne. If any junior of the Sect is fated to see my remains, they may come and take the secret techniques from my bones, and pass on my ultimate arts!"

"Sixth Ancestor!?

"It's actually our Saint Essence Sect's Sixth Ancestor, Great Saint Payne!"

Outside the Ancestral Land, countless Disciples, witnessing this scene through the light screen projection, instantly erupted in excitement.

Even Sect Master Mu Yunxi and the Elders of the Sect showed a hint of surprise.

"Didn't the Sixth Ancestor perish in the outside world, and his remains have yet to be found? How could he appear here?"

The Sixth Ancestor of the Saint Essence Sect, Payne, was a famous and legendary figure.

Years ago, due to a certain incident, Payne, in a fit of rage, carried a Quasi-Emperor Weapon to the Central State, challenged an elderly Quasi-Emperor in front of various races, and after a hundred days of fierce battle, personally fought and killed that Quasi-Emperor!

From that battle, he became a legend!

In that era, the Saint Essence Sect, with the Sixth Ancestor in command, was at its peak of glory.

Unfortunately, good times didn't last; although Great Saint Payne won that battle, he himself suffered fatal injuries.

In the last moments of his life, Great Saint Payne, dragging his heavily injured body, left the Sect to seek a glimmer of hope.

However, not long after Great Saint Payne left the Sect, the soul lamp he had left in the Sect directly extinguished.

The Saint Essence Sect had sent powerful experts multiple times to search for the remains of Payne, the Sixth Ancestor, but they had yet to find them.

"Could it be that Ancestral Master Payne had, from the very beginning, buried his own bones within the Ancestral Land?"

Mu Yunxi and many Sect Elders were astonished; the remains of Great Saint Payne, which they had searched for for many years, were actually within their own Ancestral Land.

This was truly unexpected.

But there was no doubt that, with the Sixth Ancestor's peerless feat of defying and defeating a Quasi-Emperor, the Legacy he left behind would undoubtedly be an earth-shattering existence.

Whoever could obtain it would surely undergo a complete transformation and directly stand out among the four Dao Children!

Chu Qing, Huo Cang, and Jiang Yuhao exchanged glances, their eyes all revealing a fierce determination to obtain it.

Clearly, they had all thought of this point.

"The Sixth Ancestor was a peerless Great Saint who defied and defeated a Quasi-Emperor; his Legacy rightfully belongs to me, Jiang Yuhao! You two good-for-nothings are not qualified to covet it!"

Jiang Yuhao turned around and shouted, sweeping his gaze disdainfully at Chu Qing and Huo Cang.

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than Chu Qing brandished his long saber and roared, "Bah! What are you? You've merely Cultivated a few more years than us! If we were in the same Realm, I'd slaughter you like a dog!"

"My third eye sees clearly, both of you have already harbored greed! With such arrogant Heart-Nature, if the Sixth Ancestor had a spirit, he would absolutely not choose either of you as a Legacy successor!"

Huo Cang opened the vertical eye on his forehead, and all three eyes stared coldly at the other two.

The three stood on separate sides, none willing to yield an inch, all determined to obtain the Sixth Ancestor's Legacy.

"Since that's the case, let's settle it with our hands!"

Jiang Yuhao stomped his foot in mid-air, and his entire body soared dozens of zhang higher again, looking down at the other two from above. The pressure of a Martial Grandmaster, like a mountain torrent and sea tsunami, simultaneously crushed down upon Chu Qing and Huo Cang.

"Do you really think that just because you are the only Martial Grandmaster here, you are invincible?"

Chu Qing let out a cold shout, all the pores on his body opened, spewing out endless blood Qi, forming a crimson armor that attached to his body.

The moment the armor was donned, Chu Qing's aura surged, actually breaking through that Realm barrier and reaching the same Realm as Jiang Yuhao.

"Just a Martial Grandmaster, when I was out on expeditions, there were at least eighty, if not a hundred, Martial Grandmasters who died by my hand!"

The vertical eye on Huo Cang's forehead glowed brightly, and his aura also climbed steadily at this moment, similarly crossing the Realm barrier and temporarily ascending to a higher Realm.

"Enough talk, let's fight!"

Bang, bang, bang!

In an instant, the three engaged in fierce combat, erupting with endless divine light, the surroundings vast and boundless, and the mountains roared beneath their feet.

"The view here is good, it's a great place to observe the great battle."

In a dense forest not far below the three, Lin Yang sat cheerfully on a large rock, holding a bag of melon seeds, watching the chaotic battle of the three above with a grin.

He glanced at the Sixth Ancestor's skeleton, a faint smile appearing in his eyes, but he had no intention of fighting for it at all.

Because there was no such thing as a Sixth Ancestor here at all!

The Sixth Ancestor's Legacy they saw was merely an illusion created after falling under Tsukuyomi.

Thump, thump, thump!

At this moment, Jiang Yuhao, Chu Qing, and Huo Cang were fighting with red faces.

And Lin Yang was leisurely lying on the large rock, cracking melon seeds and watching the show.

"Daddy, what are you eating? I want some too."

Just as Lin Yang was concentrating on watching the battle of the three Dao Children in the sky, a small, delicate hand, as fair and tender as mutton-fat jade, suddenly reached out.

"Fragrant melon seeds, want a handful?"

Lin Yang thought it was a young Junior Sister who happened to pass by, and without much guard, he casually grabbed a handful of melon seeds and handed them over.

But as his hand reached midway, he suddenly froze. What did that voice just call him?

"Daddy?!"
