Chapter 186 A Sudden Enlightenment

As the patriarch of the Maoshan Sect's revival and a Disciple of Grand Master Sima Chengzhen, his Senior Brothers included Ye Fashan and Li Hanguang, all of whom were figures at the Celestial Master level.

As for him, there was no need to mention it; he had reached the Life Wheel Realm in just a few months of Cultivation. This speed was, if not unprecedented, at least rare in this world.

Not to mention that he also possessed a System; as long as he didn't die young, his cultivation strength could not be weak.

Yet, for someone like him, he had never heard his own name in later generations. This was clearly abnormal!

For Maoshan Sect Disciples, the primary lesson was to remember the Ancestral Masters of previous generations. Although Ye Qingmei was not an ordained Disciple, she would not have neglected this lesson.

And there was no need to mention Jia He; as an ordained Disciple, even though his cultivation was weak, he should not have been unaware of the names and Daoist titles of the past Ancestral Masters.

Could it be...

Jiang Chen's gaze turned profound.

Could it be that he really died young in the Great Tang in the future?!

No way, no way. Heaven wouldn't play such a big joke on him, would it? To be able to experience Transmigration to the Great Tang, apprentice to a big shot, have the support of a System, and possess unparalleled talent—could he still die just like that?

But Jiang Chen thought about it again and felt that this was an unlikely scenario.

During the Tang Dynasty, even among the older generation, there weren't many who were his match, let alone the younger generation.

Furthermore, the entire world of Xuanmen knew that he, Jiang Chen, was the Disciple of the only Primordial Spirit Master of the time, Grand Master Sima Chengzhen. Who would have the guts and the strength to intercept and kill him?

If that wasn't the reason, could it be that he later did something that offended the whole world and was expelled from the Maoshan Sect?

Jiang Chen thought for a moment, shook his head, and felt that this possibility was also unlikely; he just wasn't that kind of person.

Then, could it be related to his past and future, or related to his Transmigration?

Jiang Chen reached this point in his thoughts. This was already beyond his range of understanding, so Jiang Chen simply stopped thinking about it.

He picked up three incense sticks from the side, bowed three times to the statues of the Three Pure Ones and the numerous memorial tablets, and then inserted the incense into the offering censer in front.

Only then did he get up, walk out, and leave. A short while later, the Disciple at the door suddenly twitched his nose, as if he had smelled something.

He was somewhat suspicious and hesitant, but after a moment, he opened the door of the Hall of the Three Pure Ones a crack and looked inside.

Then, he immediately saw the three incense sticks that had only been burning for a short while, with more than half of their length remaining.

The Disciple's eyes widened, his expression a mix of disbelief and a hint of horror.

He clearly remembered that no one had come to this hall for at least three or four hours, so what was going on with the fresh incense burning inside?

"It's, it's haunted?! Maoshan is haunted!"

...

Jiang Chen walked and stopped along the way, feeling that much of the scenery of Maoshan did not match his memories; it had already changed drastically.

He also observed the Disciples here; although it did not compare to the glorious scene of the Tang Dynasty, the scale and number of Disciples were greater.

Among them, there were inevitably a mix of good and bad, but there were also those with exceptional talent. They were merely limited by the current Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, but once the Spiritual Qi recovered, this batch of Disciples would certainly not be inferior to others.

Especially one of them; he heard the people beside him calling him Jia Hao.

His talent was quite good, and he was also hardworking, although he was a bit pretentious, always pretending to inadvertently reveal his cultivation in front of his companions.

Making his companions exclaim, "Wow! Jia Hao, your cultivation has increased again today! How do you Cultivate? Teach me."

"Wow, Senior Brother is so amazing! I want to be like Senior Brother Jia Hao in the future."

Such repeated remarks made Jia Hao unable to stop smiling, and he kept putting on a show of humility.

But Jiang Chen could tell that this was the extent of these Disciples' schemes; none of them were bad.

This was a point that made Jiang Chen particularly satisfied.

When he realized this and thought about the fact that he had actually developed such an emotion, he couldn't help but chuckle subconsciously.

Since when had he really become the Ancestral Master in Jia He's words, acting a bit like an old antique inspecting his descendants?

As Jiang Chen walked along, he arrived near the Ascension Platform and also saw a middle-aged man wearing Daoist robes on the Ascension Platform, who was in the middle of a Breakthrough in his Realm.

This made him slightly satisfied. He didn't expect that in this era, there would still be someone at Maoshan capable of Cultivating to the verge of the Life Wheel Realm; it was truly not easy.

But when he looked again, his brows furrowed slightly. The authentic Maoshan Cultivation Technique this person was learning had a pure path.

However, this Maoshan method emphasized 'one vigorous effort,' where the second attempt becomes weaker, and the third is exhausted. It was essential to attempt the Breakthrough under conditions where the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was extremely abundant; otherwise, if the first attempt failed, it would be difficult to succeed later.

Judging by this person's aura, he had probably tried more than once, but had failed to complete it.

Without external help, this attempt would likely end in failure as well.

Jiang Chen only observed for a moment before, at the most critical moment of this person's Breakthrough, he condensed his intent and transformed it into an invisible hand, gathering the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi all at once.

Ye Yunyang, who was still in the middle of his Breakthrough, had originally been distressed by the thinness of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Their Maoshan was not like the current Mount Longhu, which still had precious pills remaining.

He had already foreseen that he would likely not be able to achieve a Breakthrough today. After this event, wanting to attempt a Breakthrough again in the future would be even more difficult.

But just when Ye Yunyang was preparing to give up since this wave of the Breakthrough was going to fail, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Why had the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi suddenly become so dense?

It was as if he had been in a muddy, low-lying area and had suddenly leaped into the ocean.

But now was not the time to investigate; he had to seize this opportunity to preserve Maoshan's last shred of status in the Daoist world.

However, when Ye Yunyang tried to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, he suddenly felt a heaven-turning and earth-overturning change in his external environment.

Just now, because of multiple attempts to break through, the Meridians in his body were in complete chaos. Even if he wanted to absorb Spiritual Qi, it was difficult to sustain; wanting to attempt the Breakthrough again at this moment was nothing but a pipe dream!

"Is this it..."

But just at this moment, Ye Yunyang suddenly felt a vast will abruptly descend upon his own intent.

He was shocked; such a terrifying intent was something even the Sect Head of Mount Longhu could absolutely not possess!

Was there actually such a powerful person in the world? Could it be some old antique who had revived and come to cause trouble for his Maoshan?

At this moment, if he were rational, he should remain calm and let the other party come and go as they pleased.

But Ye Yunyang was unwilling to tarnish the prestige of the ancestors of Maoshan, so he prepared to break out of his meditation and fight the person to the death!

But he only heard a young, yet unquestionable voice suddenly enter his mind.

"Break through quietly, don't move around."

Ye Yunyang's mind shook, but without a second thought, he did exactly as the person said.

As he continued to try to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, he was astonished to discover that a powerful and natural intent flowed along with the Spiritual Qi he absorbed into his body, quickly helping him regulate all the Meridians in his body.

It even helped him open up several hidden acupoints that were difficult to clear!

Ye Yunyang felt secretly grateful; he also understood that although he didn't know the origin of this person, the person was a friend, not an enemy.

Thus, he steadied his mind and began his Breakthrough!

... (Good night)
