Jiang Ping'an had just arrived before the mountain gate of the Tian Yuan Sect when a booming laugh rolled down from the peak like peals of heavenly thunder. Looking up, Jiang Ping'an saw a middle-aged cultivator with a long beard descending from the mountaintop toward him, carrying an imposing aura.
Before long, the long-bearded middle-aged cultivator landed in front of Jiang Ping'an.
"Fellow Daoist from beyond, welcome to our Tian Yuan Sect." The long-bearded middle-aged cultivator warmly cupped his hands. "This old man is Shangguan Hong, and I am unworthily the sect master of the Tian Yuan Sect."
Jiang Ping'an returned the gesture. "So it is Sect Master Shangguan. Forgive my discourtesy. I am Jiang Ping'an..."
Then, he transmitted through Spiritual Sense, "I possess the Ancient Sacred Body."
To obtain Chaos Stone quickly, he could not do without the help of the Chaos Human Race's upper ranks. To make them truly willing to help, the best way was to reveal his identity as one with the Ancient Sacred Body. The Chaos Abyss was a place beyond the Celestial Race's reach, and the Chaos Human Race could not leave the Chaos Abyss either. Thus, there was no need to worry about his whereabouts being leaked.
Upon hearing the four words "Ancient Sacred Body," Shangguan Hong could not help but be shocked. He immediately widened his eyes and scrutinized Jiang Ping'an.
Jiang Ping'an released a wisp of the boundlessly tyrannical aura of the Ancient Sacred Body. Shangguan Hong was instantly shaken and revealed an expression of immense delight.
"So it is fellow cultivator Jiang." Shangguan Hong bowed respectfully. "Fellow cultivator Jiang, please quickly come and rest within our humble sect."
Jiang Ping'an nodded. "Thank you, Sect Master Shangguan. Jiang indeed has a matter to discuss with your sect."
"Fellow cultivator Jiang, please."
