Chapter 962: Chapter 499: The High Level of Seniority of the Taoist Ancestor, Unparalleled Throughout Ancient and Modern Times_2

“`

Xue Ji’s face turned dark, and immediately he saw Old Man Xiao, gritting his teeth as he spoke, “Xiaoyao brat, if you want to kill me, just do it, must you humiliate me like this?

“Let your disciple kill me then, I, Xue Ji, admit defeat!”

He subconsciously thought Su Lingxiu was Old Man Xiao’s disciple and that this Soul Concealing Jar was certainly concocted by Old Man Xiao.

As the head of the Taicang Seven Heroes, gifted beyond others, and one of Taicang’s most valued, employing such methods was reasonable.

“You overestimate me, what virtue or talent do I have to teach such an outstanding disciple?”

Old Man Xiao shook his head and said.

Xue Ji was taken aback. Could it be that Xu Yan and the others were not Old Man Xiao’s disciples?

“Then who is their master? Let their master come forward, whether to kill or flay is up to them, we are all existences of the same level, why humiliate me this way?”

Immediately, Xue Ji spoke in fury again.

Old Man Xiao looked at Xue Ji with disdain, saying, “Don’t give yourself unwarranted praise, how dare you claim to be on the same level as the senior? You’re nothing, not even the Netherworld qualifies to stand on the same level as the senior!”

Xue Ji was dumbfounded for a moment, then his pupils contracted as if he realized something, exclaiming, “It is Taicang senior? He hasn’t fallen?”

In this world, even the master of the Netherworld Domain could not stand on the same level, in a sense, there were only two people.

One was the strong being from the Imperishable Divine Temple.

The other, Taicang!

Furthermore, Old Man Xiao’s words clearly did not refer to the one from the Imperishable Divine Temple; if so, besides Taicang, there couldn’t be a second.

Moreover, only Taicang possessed the ability to teach such a monstrous being.

Thus, it was evident that Taicang had devised a new wondrous martial arts technique!

But, could it be that in that battle, Taicang didn’t fall, but instead contended with the one from the Imperishable Divine Temple?

Thinking this, Xue Ji became somewhat enlightened, no wonder that despite the emergence of a chasm in the Taicang Domain, the impact wasn’t substantial, the entire domain remained intact, and the one from the Imperishable Divine Temple didn’t invade the Taicang Domain.

So, Taicang wasn’t dead after all?!

“Since it is Taicang senior, I, Xue Ji, submit, I am willing to confess, to admit my mistakes, whether to kill or flay is yours, Taicang senior wouldn’t humiliate me this way.”

Saying this, Xue Ji turned to Su Lingxiu, saying in a heavy voice, “Young girl, if you wish to kill, kill me then, this torture harms your master’s dignity!”

Su Lingxiu displayed an odd expression, inwardly amazed; Taicang was indeed legendary; a mighty figure like Xue Ji thought of Taicang first.

“Master is truly too humble!”

She sighed to herself, then immediately negated, “It’s not that Master is too humble, but Master is too strong; few in the world are worthy of knowing Master, thus it seems that Master is humble.”

Old Man Xiao appeared somewhat sorrowful, sighed, and said, “Xue Ji, you are mistaken, though I also wish Teacher Taicang were still alive, he has indeed fallen.

“The senior I mentioned, even Teacher Taicang was not qualified to stand on the same level.”

Xue Ji was dumbfounded for a moment, pissed off as he said, “Xiaoyao brat, what do you mean? How in this world could Taicang not qualify to be on the same level?

“Even the one from the Imperishable Divine Temple does not qualify to say that; is the senior you mentioned the one from the Imperishable Divine Temple?

“Are you, esteemed Taicang Seven Heroes, actually siding with the Imperishable Divine Temple?”

Old Man Xiao’s expression was indifferent, even a bit superior. Generationally, Xue Ji was older and more ancient, yet he knew nothing of the Daoist Ancestor Senior.

While he himself had been fortunate to receive guidance from the Daoist Ancestor Senior!

Thinking this, Old Man Xiao suddenly felt a bit superior, peering down at Xue Ji, as if looking at a country bumpkin.

“Xiaoyao brat, what’s with that look?”

Xue Ji was furious; he was an ancient being, from the same era as Taicang, and Old Man Xiao dared look at him this way, truly detestable!

“Xue Ji, you are unworthy as a Minor Domain Master, yet you have never even heard of Daoist Ancestor Senior, no wonder you ended up in such a predicament, you are too ignorant, the level of Daoist Ancestor Senior is unparalleled throughout time, he is the ancestor of the great way!”

Old Man Xiao shook his head and sighed.

Xue Ji was enraged, truly exploded; with a boom, blood gas burst from the jar again, causing a significant tremor, the jar quivered, even faint cracking sounds could be heard, as if about to shatter any moment.

Su Lingxiu hurriedly touched her finger to steady the jar and glared at Old Man Xiao, stating, “Stop provoking him, if he really blasts the jar, I would lose a research artifact.”

“Yes, yes, I will disappear from his sight.”

Old Man Xiao chuckled servilely, then left, busying himself with secluded meditation to comprehend the Heavenly Dao’s aura.

“I need to find Master to help me stabilize the jar!”

Su Lingxiu, carrying the jar, excitedly approached Li Xuan.

“Master, Master, help me stabilize this jar.”

Li Xuan glanced at Xue Ji inside the jar, a rather good remnant soul, destined to become one of Su Lingxiu’s treasured items for researching the divine soul of a Minor Domain Master.

With a lift of his hand, strands of profound resonance emerged, transforming into an arcane rune, instantly embedding into the jar.

The jar trembled slightly, instantly becoming different, not to mention Xue Ji was but a remnant soul, even a complete divine soul, if confined here, would be unable to escape.

“Thank you, Master!”

Su Lingxiu was exceedingly joyful.

Xue Ji reassembled once more, hearing Su Lingxiu’s words, lifting his gaze abruptly, instantly stunned.

What was that being?

In his eyes, it seemed as though he saw the vastness of the ancient, the image of the Great Wilderness before chaos, as if witnessing the scenes before the birth of time, or at the dawn of ages.

It also seemed he saw the profound way seen by chance during travels in the Land of Imperishable, and these ways intertwined, as if he was the embodiment of the way.

Moreover, he saw that even the mysterious light was beyond reach.

Gulp!

At this moment, he finally understood, Xiaoyao brat’s words weren’t lies, an existence such as this, even Taicang was unqualified to stand on the same level.

Just as he was about to speak, Su Lingxiu had already moved him away, placing him back on the original table.

The way Xue Ji looked at Su Lingxiu and the others changed, no wonder such a monstrous being, no wonder capable of forging such wondrous, extraordinary treasures.

“You…”

However, Jiang Buping had already interrupted his speech, asking coldly, “Xue Ji, isn’t it? The old relic of the Netherworld, let me ask you, why do you target me?

“I, Jiang Buping, have no grievances or enmity with you, do I?”

Xue Ji was taken aback, expressing a look of disbelief before proclaiming his innocence, “Innocent, indeed! I have not targeted you!”

If Jiang Buping were not the disciple of such an unfathomable existence, he wouldn’t bother to defend himself with a single word, but realizing Jiang Buping was indeed the disciple of such a terrifying master made him afraid to bear these accusations.

He had to defend himself!

Moreover, he indeed was innocent, merely that twice, those who sought him happened to have enmity with Jiang Buping, and he simply went with the flow.

The root aim was to recover himself and rise again, to seek vengeance was to target that Jiang Feng brat!

“Innocent?”

Jiang Buping sneered, saying, “Jiang Tianming targeted me, when I went for revenge, you were in his divine soul, now this one came seeking revenge for Yun Yan’er, and you are in his divine soul again.

“Moreover, whether it was Jiang Tianming or the previous one, the martial arts secret techniques they cultivated were all taught by you, even this time, he imparted his means to resist the divine soul secret technique.

“Are all these mere coincidences?”

Xue Ji was somewhat dumbfounded, but all these indeed were coincidences!

“Yes, coincidences, they’re all coincidences indeed!”

Xue Ji was on the verge of tears, hurriedly continuing, “You must believe me, truly they are coincidences, really, I haven’t deceived you; Jiang Tianming sought me to empower him against you, his enemy.

“Consider, I was but a remnant soul, seizing the chance to make a comeback, even having a chance to recover, and because of this, I could also avenge myself on that Jiang Feng brat, why wouldn’t I be happy about it?

“So, all these are coincidences!”

Xue Ji quickly added, “As for this one, he insisted on seeking revenge against you, what can I do to stop him? If I don’t satisfy him, how can I cultivate him as a substitute seed?

“The more frenzied he became, the more beneficial it was for me, I truly didn’t anticipate your strength!”

Jiang Buping furrowed his brows, intuition telling him Xue Ji seemed genuinely truthful, that these were all merely coincidences!
