Venerable Chi Yuan, Old Chi: Appearance Does Not Reflect the Heart

Above the Great Desolate City, Primordial Spirit intertwined, and even human figures appeared.

Look up and gaze into the distance!

Its figure appeared and disappeared!

Some looked shocked, some were solemn, and some were filled with apprehension...

"That old devil from the Wu clan has been defeated?"

"Heh heh, it's not just a defeat, it's a complete annihilation, dust to dust, ashes to ashes..."

"Judging from the aura of their battle just now, their strength..."

"It's probably no less than the cultivation level of True Lord in the second realm."

"I never expected this!"

"That junior with the precious physique actually possessed such astonishing strength in the end!"

"That old devil from the Wu Family used to have the upper hand!"

"But the result was completely unexpected; there was a sudden reversal!"

"It's truly unbelievable!"

"If we investigate the cause, it's probably related to that crimson-gold phantom phenomenon!"

"Snort!!!"

Why beat around the bush and play riddles?

"In my opinion, that strange phenomenon resembles a crow with three legs, and is like a golden sun!"

"That must be the Golden Crow Treasure Technique!"

"That junior will probably get the Bashe Treasure Bone from that old ghost of the Wu clan again later."

"I imagine it won't take long before I can master another Great Serpent Treasure Technique!"

"While it may not be as good as the former, it is still quite remarkable!"

"That young man... he probably harbors a great secret!"

The True Lord fell silent!

Their expressions varied and became complex, with some even showing a flickering gaze!

On the other side!

Based on the principle that murder and arson bring wealth and power!

Jiang Yi scanned the area with his Primordial Spirit Power!

Unfortunately!

Nothing was found among those severed limbs and remains.

He only had that one broken piece of precious bone on him!

Perhaps!

In his eyes!

That precious bone is the most important!

It is both a precious magical ability and a valuable artifact.

As their trump card.

That's why I carry it with me at all times!

As for other things, such as cultivation resources and the like.

They don't even consider it a threat!

Jiang Yi stopped using his magic technique, and the golden crow phantom behind him gradually dissipated.

I briefly examined myself internally!

He had already consumed more than a quarter of his profound magical power.

This shows that!

The higher the grade of a so-called magical technique, the more magical power is required.

Naturally, the faster it is consumed!

Of course, the power it unleashes is even more formidable!

Like this Golden Crow Treasure Technique!

He had only grasped some of the basics, yet he was already able to completely overwhelm those at the True Lord level.

If one comprehends it to that profound Realm/Boundary, or even reaches that pinnacle, then...

How terrifying would that be?!

Although limited by his cultivation level, he was unable to fully unleash the true power of the treasure technique.

But let's launch another Great Realm!

It shouldn't be a problem!

The premise is that the opponent is just an ordinary cultivator without any special techniques.

Jiang Yi had a strange feeling that he seemed to be--

Something was missed.

"You're pretty good, kid!"

Jiang Yi's eyes narrowed, and he turned his head sharply while instinctively taking a step back!

Quickly distance yourself from the source of the sound!

Where they had stood before, an old man dressed in a wide, bright red robe stood tall.

Slim!

His full head of red hair was meticulously combed.

Hands behind his back!

Kind eyes and a gentle smile!

His aged, ruddy face looked rather peaceful.

Don't judge a book by its cover!

Judging solely by appearance is absolutely unacceptable!

Outward appearance!

That doesn't necessarily mean it's really the case.

The hardest to see through!

It is within a person, it is in their heart!

Jiang Yi did not let his guard down because of this!

His body suddenly tensed up, and wisps of golden light faintly appeared on his skin.

Ready to go!

As soon as he senses something is wrong, his precious body will revive again.

The old man in front of him could appear beside him without anyone noticing.

But he felt nothing at all!

Even his Primordial Spirit did not issue any warning.

This is an extremely powerful individual!

His cultivation level is absolutely terrifying, and his Realm/Boundary is extremely high, even higher than that of True Lord.

Standing above the void, it seems as if heaven and earth, and the void itself, can merge into one!

Her clothes fluttered gracefully!

He has an air of otherworldly elegance!

Jiang Yi sighed inwardly; he had been somewhat careless!

This upper realm is indeed incomparable to the lower realm.

Hidden talents abound, many powerful individuals are present!

Danger lurks everywhere, and it's impossible to guard against everything!

Martial arts techniques in the lower realms are visible to the naked eye, and their trajectories can be clearly seen.

However, the methods of cultivation are as unpredictable as ghosts!

This is absolutely not something that can be overlooked!

If one is not careful, it could lead to a horrific death on the spot.

Even if you notice it, you might not survive!

"You're quite cautious!"

The old man in red smiled and spoke, his expression kind and gentle!

He stood still, making no unnecessary movements.

The voice was not loud, but kind.

His gaze was gentle, seemingly containing a hint of appreciation!

"Your name is Jiang Yi, right?"

"Um?"

Jiang Yi raised his head, his mind racing, a flicker of emotion flashing in his eyes.

The old man, seemingly oblivious, continued smiling and speaking.

"I come from the Phoenix Heaven Ancient Sect, and am known as the Venerable Chi Yuan. You may call me—"

Old Chi!

Yao'er specifically instructed me to bring you back to my sect and have you join my sect.

He became one of the disciples.

She said you came from the lower realm, and are the first person from the lower realm!

He possesses excellent natural talent and remarkable comprehension.

Even in this upper realm, he could be considered a peerless genius.

I wasn't really convinced at first, but now that I see it!

That actually does have a certain truth to it!

She had previously begged me to take you as her apprentice.

I refuse!

But now, I'm starting to think twice!

I'm going to give you a chance!

Phoenix Heaven Ancient Sect?!

Just as he had expected, after all, he had only recently arrived in the Upper Realm.

But his name has never been revealed!

However, the other party knew that, apart from those two... three people...

He couldn't think of anyone else!

Moreover, the fact that they can come to him only confirms it further.

It's his organization!

His organization has finally been found!

As for what came next, when they said they would give him a chance and take him as their disciple, Jiang Yi subconsciously wanted to continue!

"Senior, I..."

"You have no right to refuse!"

"..."

Old Chi smiled and spoke in a gentle tone.

However, it can make people--

One can sense an immense sense of authority and an unyielding will.

As if it were a golden word!

You either accept it willingly or passively; there is no option to refuse.

Unless you can be better than him!

Obviously!

He doesn't possess that ability at this stage, so he has no choice but to accept it.

Whether you are or not!

Jiang Yi was silent for a moment, then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said in a low voice,

"Senior!"

"Speaking!"
