Chapter 1011 - 918: Most Hate Leeks
Over the Great Wall.
“Young Masters, once you pass the Great Wall and leave the Northern Border, you will enter the Nine Hundred Continents of the True Ancestor Realm, each continent spanning tens of millions of Li and extremely vast.”
Ji Wuming and the others respectfully explained:
“Not far ahead, there is our Teleportation Array, which can take us directly to our clan.”
However, Qi Fenglin smiled and said,
“Thank you for your kind intentions, but we have some important matters to deal with, so we won’t trouble you.”
They… simply needed the Nine Eternal Ancient Clans to escort them through the Wall of Corpses.
Now that they were here, they naturally didn’t need it anymore.
After all, the tasks they had to carry out subsequently were very confidential, and they couldn’t possibly let the people from the Nine Eternal Ancient Clans follow them.
Ji Wuming nodded, not seeming surprised, and said,
“Young Masters, this is the token of our Nine Eternal Ancient Clans. Holding this token, you can mobilize our forces at any time to ensure that you have unobstructed passage through the True Ancestor World.”
Qi Fenglin said:
“Thank you.”
Immediately after, Ji Wuming and the others bid farewell and departed.
“Haha, these ants are quite eager to please.”
Qing Shenglan revealed a look of disdain in her eyes.
“They still hold value.”
Qi Fenglin smiled and said,
“The backup plan at The End of Myriad Paths hasn’t been found and destroyed yet… so, they still hold value.”
He left the latter half of his sentence unsaid.
Once the Nine Eternal Ancient Clans had helped them in the Grey Mist Sea to break the situational setup at The End of Myriad Paths, then the Nine Eternal Ancient Clans would no longer hold any value.
What awaited them was… extinction!
And now… very soon
“What shall we do next?”
Qing Shenglan asked.
Qi Fenglin pondered and said:
“We’ll proceed according to the plan of the lords from the Grey Mist Sea.”
“First, we need to find our ancient ancestor.”
Saying so, he took out a black chessboard.
That chessboard seemed to flow with Supreme chess intent!
— Qi Fenglin, being a descendant of the Chess Ancestor from the Grey Mist Sea in bygone years, held this chessboard which was left by the Chess Ancestor.
“I, being a descendant of the Chess Ancestor and holding the chessboard from years ago, can locate the ancestor.”
Qi Fenglin said:
“At that time, you only need to bring your ancestors to the Tianjiang Continent.”
“When the Grass Ancestor and Buddha Ancestor arrive… I will have them witness the miracle, witness the entire backup chess situation at The End of Myriad Paths being broken, and they… will be checkmated.”
At this moment, he couldn’t help but laugh and said,
“Then, there will be nothing in this world worthy of fear anymore!”
This, was their mission this time!
They came bearing the Ten Killing Formation, developed wholeheartedly by the ten grandmasters of Path of Chess, aiming to break The End of Myriad Paths in chess and simultaneously, annihilate their ancestors!
Qi Fenglin was a descendant of the Chess Ancestor, whereas Qing Shenglan and Shi Xin’s ancestors were the Grass Ancestor and Buddha Ancestor, respectively.
They needed to find these ancestors and lead them into the slaughter setup on Tianjiang Continent.
“Our ancestor left only this seed in the past… and now, this seed, after experiencing the Golden Era, has already borne extraordinary fruit…”
Qing Shenglan took out a seed and said, “I’ll go find him.”
She immediately left.
“I’ve already sensed where Buddha Ancestor is.”
Shi Xin also smiled slightly as he took out a Shariputra.
“This Shariputra was left behind when Buddha Ancestor failed in his Nirvana… he should be in the Brahman Wilderness.”
After speaking, Shi Xin also left.
The remaining Qi Fenglin also silently sensed for a long time.
Then, he looked in the direction of the Vertical and Horizontal Dao Domain!
…
Very soon.
Qing Shenglan appeared in the Green Desolate.
As she stepped into this Great Wilderness, she immediately felt a majestic essence of plants and trees coming towards her.
“It’s the Grass Ancestor’s aura… it’s him!”
Qing Shenglan couldn’t help but rejoice, she headed towards the very center of the Green Desolate and saw the vast grassland resembling a forest.
“The strength of Grass Ancestor… is actually this terrifying?!”
Observing the grassland, Qing Shenglan couldn’t help but feel alarmed.
In fact… the Grass Ancestor was originally just a blade of grass, but it received an astonishing opportunity and rose rapidly, embarking on the ultimate path, hence earning the title Grass Ancestor!
Later, he even established the famously recognized “Grass Sect” in the Grey Mist Sea!
Since the Grass Ancestor departed, the Grey Mist Sea went through the Golden Era, with countless Ascendants, but… none of those Ascendants could manifest such a terrifying grassland.
Was Grass Ancestor really just a Ghost?
Qing Shenglan began to doubt as this grassland before her eyes could at least be compared to an Immortal Seer.
She took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and entered into the grassland.
“Descendant Qing Shenglan, coming to pay respects to Lord Grass Ancestor!”
She spoke loudly.
Deep within the grassland, suddenly there came a low whisper,
“Descendant?”
A green light surged from the depths instantly, enveloping Qing Shenglan, and in the next moment, Qing Shenglan suddenly appeared within a massive Green Grass Palace.
This palace was made of many gigantic blades of grass, interlocking like great trees, formed in a crisscross manner!
In the Green Grass Palace, a densely clustered mass of grass roots converged to form a huge bed.
On the bed of grass roots lay a man!
The clothes on the man were woven from leaves, and his entire skin was emitting a pale green color, as if he had been soaking in grass juice all day.
His back and muscles were even fused with the thick grass roots.
Upon seeing the man, Qing Shenglan couldn’t help but be startled and immediately knelt down, saying,
“Young Qing Shenglan, a descendant of the Grass Sect, has crossed the Heavenly Abyss to pay respects to the ancestor!”
Hearing this, the Grass Ancestor murmured,
“The Grass Sect… it hasn’t been destroyed?”
As he spoke, his light green eyelids slightly lifted, and he asked,
“What do you seek from me?”
Qing Shenglan responded,
“Esteemed ancestor, the Grass Sect… wishes to respectfully invite the ancestor to return to the Grey Mist Sea!”
Upon hearing this, the Grass Ancestor burst into hearty laughter.
Qing Shenglan’s heart leaped with joy, thinking… the esteemed Grass Ancestor seems quite pleased?
However, the Grass Ancestor’s tone suddenly turned cold, and he exclaimed,
“Do you take me for a fool?!”
“Return? I am the Divine Grass transformed, not some perennial plant to be harvested again and again!”
As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Qing Shenglan and asked,
“By the way, what plant have you transformed from?”
With a raised hand,
Qing Shenglan let out a low moan, unable to resist reverting to his original form.
Suddenly, in the Green Grass Palace, there appeared a lush green chive!
Qing Shenglan, indeed, was a chive cultivated…
Seeing this, the Grass Ancestor immediately became furious and exclaimed,
“Dammit… I hate chives the most! My Grass Sect never accepts chives as successors. How did you manage to sneak in?!”
“I’m going to kill you!”
He was enraged!
“No, please, Great Ancestor… we are all your descendants, I wasn’t originally a chive. I was initially a pitcher plant, but as I practiced my cultivation, I gradually turned into a chive… Nowadays in the Grass Sect, the strongest few are all chives… please don’t kill me!”
Qing Shenglan’s wailing voice echoed as two chive leaves, like hands, held up a sacred seed, hastily saying,
“Great Ancestor, this is the sacred seed you left behind in the past, it has now undergone the Golden Era, the Grass Sect specifically instructed me to bring it for you to inspect!”
Upon seeing the sacred seed, the Grass Ancestor’s brows slightly furrowed, and with a wave of his hand, the seed landed in his palm.
“Is this the mutation brought by the great turbulence…”
The Grass Ancestor muttered under his breath.
He had left the Grey Mist Sea years ago, but he had left something behind.
He had left a seed there, to witness everything that followed in the Grey Mist Sea.
Now, holding the seed again, he examined it closely.
Upon the seed, myriad Dao energies swirled around, and the Origin of the Grey Mist had already integrated with the seed, making it extraordinarily extraordinary.
“The seniors of the Grass Sect said that upon the emergence of this seed, one could directly encounter a Ghost!”
Qing Shenglan spoke.
The Grass Ancestor, however, coldly retorted,
“A seed? Can this seed still be planted? What grows from it, I fear, would no longer be Foxtail Grass, but chives!”
He had already realized that the seed he had left behind had been altered.
It appeared still a Foxtail Grass seed, but in reality, when planted, it would turn into chives.
Perhaps, is the entire Grass Sect like this?
The grass that embarked on the path of transformation and cultivation, in the end, all become chives?
This is… most absurd!
And in the hall, that green chive, Qing Shenglan, hesitated for a moment, Foxtail Grass?
Was this the true form of the Grass Ancestor?
It seemed she realized something…
And the Grass Ancestor, having also come to a realization, coughed and said,
“I was merely making a metaphor. This seed is a heavenly defiance, nothing like what you imagine.”
“As for returning to the Grey Mist Sea… let’s not speak of that anymore. I certainly don’t wish to become a chive spirit.”
He was resolute.
If he had been willing to become a chive, subject to harvesting, he wouldn’t have followed the End of Myriad Paths to the True Ancestor World.
Now, a bunch of vigorously growing chives is persuading him to return?
This is madness.
Upon hearing this, Qing Shenglan, however, didn’t seem much surprised but said:
“Grass Ancestor, not to hide from you, the Grey Mist Sea has already broken the contingency of the End of Myriad Paths.”
“This time… we are not only here to invite you, more importantly, we represent the Grey Mist Sea to break all the Dao of the End of Myriad Paths!”
Upon hearing this, the Grass Ancestor immediately exclaimed,
“Break all her Dao?”
“Just by the Grey Mist Sea?”
He abruptly rose from the grass giant bed, and the muscles on his back connected with numerous grass roots also instantly reverted to normal, looking no different from a regular human except for the greenish hue on his face.
He said,
“Go, go, go, haven’t seen such arrogant people in years, I need to see how you die.”
As he spoke, he raised his hand, and several huge grass roots immediately dragged a coffin placed in the corner of the vast grass palace.
Inside this coffin was the Evil Corpse—Green Honor, which the Grass Ancestor was in charge of guarding.
He was going to watch the drama, and naturally, he needed to bring it along.
Qing Shenglan: “…”
…
Wang An.
