The Founding Patriarch they spoke of was naturally the Green Mountain Patriarch.
The Green Mountain Patriarch was the Human Race's first Ascension One. He had pioneered the Sword Dao for all ages and left behind the Green Mountain lineage, holding a supreme position in the Chaotian Continent's cultivation world.
General Li now commanded this world's Ascension Ones, but the Founding Patriarch was the one who had determined humanity's path, the spiritual leader of the Ascension Ones, a beacon lighting their way.
The Green Mountain Patriarch was still alive, but no one knew where he was.
Jing Jiu was a Green Mountain disciple, yet he was asking an outsider this question. It did sound rather strange.
Back in the game Great Dao Toward Heaven, Jing Jiu had asked General Li about the Founding Patriarch's current circumstances, but he had not asked where the Founding Patriarch was.
This was a habit of Daoist cultivators, and it also had to do with trust.
The Green Mountain Patriarch's health was not very good now, or he would not have left behind Shen Yunmai, a descendant of his bloodline. In other words, if other powerful figures learned his location, the Founding Patriarch might face danger. As for why other powerful figures would wish him harm, who knew?
Kill the Green Mountain Patriarch-those words alone were enough to excite certain madmen.
Jing Jiu was quite certain that the Blood Demon Old Ancestor had not known where the Green Mountain Patriarch was even at the moment of his death. Even Shen Yunmai did not know where his own father was.
He had not asked General Li that question because he knew the other man would not answer him, precisely because of the "trust" they were discussing now.
