Chapter 6239: Rotten Wood The young ones were stunned momentarily. Princess Chen was the first to regain her wits and said: “To put it another way, Seventy-two Origin Ancestor’s parents saved God Eye System.” “That’s fine to say.” Black Witch Monarch laughed: “Desolate Ancestor wasn’t as mild temper as she is now and had no qualm massacring. Her dao debut was paved with blood splashed from her saber, sparing no one in her path...” He became sentimental and said: “Those years were truly memorable. Although Moshi’s talent could be considered the greatest in history, true perfection, Desolate Ancestor’s life was more brilliant. She experienced both victories and defeats but neither hindered her development and courage, slaying both gods and Buddhas.” The young ones felt their blood boiling. Although they heard of these legends before, they never envisioned such a bloody and arduous path. Moshi was a perfect monster while Desolate Ancestor was just a regular cultivator. Both made it to the apex and dominated Three Immortals. “So the ancestor was merciless once.” Mu Hu murmured, feeling his heart beating as fast as a drum. He heard stories of how his ancestor created the two main paths of cultivation. However, the details eluded them. “Desolate Ancestor is both unbeatable and lonely now, rarely having the chance to fight.” Black Witch Monarch said: “This was why Supreme Black Ancestor was able to take the initiative and end the feud.” “Right.” The youths nodded. She could have destroyed the dao system after killing its progenitor. That would put an end to everything and Seventy-two Origin Ancestor wouldn’t have existed. “Loneliness because of invincibility.” Monk Zhu murmured. At the start of her life, massacres were required but now, killing one person alone sent the necessary message. Moreover, how many were worthy of seeing her blade? Mu Hu and the others couldn’t help becoming emotional after hearing more about an immortal. “That peak over there is rather high.” The quiet Li Qiye finally spoke and pointed forward. Sure enough, they saw a peak high enough to have stars circling it. “Come, this is the highest peak on this continent. When we’re on the pinnacle, I will use my draconic vein search art and we’ll get to the source of the earth vein.” Black Witch Monarch said confidently. “Really?” Princess Chen expressed her doubt again. “Again?” The monarch became annoyed. “Black Witch Art is what you founded, not this draconic thing.” She said. “This is the difference between you and me, you think I only created one peerless art? No, I can come up with so many after a brief meditation.” He said. “Really?” Monk Zhu was the second to doubt. Although they saw how magical his art was, they couldn’t help doubting him. “The earth veins are well hidden.” Orchidcore said while staring at Li Qiye who had explained the general idea of a world source. “Maybe well hidden for the likes of you but not me since I understand and know everything. Just wait, I will find it for you.” The monarch arched his chest. The group was used to his bravado and didn’t question him any longer. “Since you have so many amazing arts, they will be lost once you pass away. They can learn one each so that you will have successors.” Li Qiye smiled. “Uh, Young Noble, I was just running my mouth, don’t take it seriously.” The monarch became awkward. “Not like we want to learn from you, we’re not close to done with our merit laws.” The princess glared angrily. “Bah, little one, if it’s not for the young noble, I wouldn’t even take a second look at rotten woods like you all, so talentless.” The monarch barked back. “Rotten wood?!” Her eyes became wide open for a few seconds before responding: “Remember this.” The others smiled wryly and weren’t offended by the monarch’s harsh criticism. Once the group made it to the base of the peak, they were stopped by a handsome man with a great bronze sword. He wore an expensive robe - a sign of being from a powerful clan. “Ladies and gentlemen, our ancestor is meditating here, please leave.” He and his fellow clan members blocked the way. “Your ancestor?” The princess was unhappy. The youth could tell that she was strong like the rest of her group. However, he wasn’t afraid due to his strong background and said: “Yes, I am Ling Fengshuai, please refrain from disturbing my ancestor.” “The Ling.” Orchidcore knew this clan. “So you know of us. If that’s the case, please give us some face and leave.” Ling Fengshuai spoke politely but this was just a command. “Ling or whatever, no idea who you are but good dogs don’t block the way.” The monarch rolled up his sleeves. Ling Fengshuai’s expression darkened after hearing this. He grabbed the hilt of his sword and said: “Fellas, let’s not choose the hard way now.”
