Chapter 153: Three Grotto-heavens?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xiansheng Grotto-heaven?

The waiter maintained a smile as his mind raced like lightning. In an instant, he thought of many things and immediately said, “Yes, I have seen them. Didn’t Xiansheng Grotto-heaven leave the Dragon Vein Continent? I reckon they are wandering around the ocean. As for where they are going, I don’t know. The whereabouts of such a large sect is not something I can investigate.”

He had heard Zhang Ying speculate that Xiansheng Grotto-heaven might have been destroyed by the Dao Ancestor. Otherwise, there should be traces of it even if they were to abandon the Dragon Vein Continent.

The brocade-robed man frowned and asked, “Is that true?”

As the waiter poured him tea, he said, “Dear customer, I am only a waiter. What good would it do for me to lie to you?”

The brocade-robed man felt that it was reasonable and asked if those disciples had mentioned where they were going.

The waiter shook his head, indicating that he did not know. Those disciples did not discuss where they were going.

The two of them chatted for a while before the brocade-robed man ordered some dishes and wine. After taking the order, the waiter immediately left.

When Xiao Buku heard the waiter’s words, he secretly despised him. This dog really spoke the human language when he saw people.

However, he did not want to participate in this matter. Xiansheng

Grotto-heaven used to rule the Chao Sects on the Dragon Vein Continent, and it was definitely a force he could not afford to provoke.

He was not even bothered to plot for Xiansheng Grotto-heaven to take revenge on the Dao Ancestor.

After all, Xiansheng Grotto-heaven had been chased away by the Dao Ancestor. He was afraid that he would be killed the moment he revealed such thoughts.

Just like this inn. Too many people wanted to please the Dao Ancestor of Great Jing.

Xiao Buku only had one thought.

Find an opportunity to escape!

From then on, he would stay away from the martial arts world and live the rest of his life in peace.

The brocade-robed man was the Great Sage of Xiansheng Grotto-heaven. After he ended his seclusion, he immediately heard that Xiansheng Grotto-heaven had abandoned the Dragon Vein Continent. All the disciples who escaped overseas had mysteriously disappeared. He did not know what had happened, so he investigated along the way.

“The Dao Ancestor…”

The Great Sage thought silently. He could not figure out where this Dao Ancestor came from.

He had only been in seclusion for dozens of years, but the situation on the Dragon Vein Continent had changed drastically.

Most importantly, the Red Moon Ancestor had also died in the hands of the Dao Ancestor. Even though he had broken through, he could not compare to the Red Moon Ancestor.

He could not go to Great Jing.

Right now, he only wanted to find the scattered disciples of Xiansheng Grotto-heaven and reunite with them.

How could there be no place for Xiansheng Grotto-heaven in this vast world? An hour later, the Great Sage left.

The waiter stood in front of the counter and said in a low voice, “That person is not simple. It seems like he is a certain giant of Xiansheng Grotto-heaven.”

The shopkeeper lowered his head and calculated. “I understand. I will get someone to investigate.”

The Resting Heart Inn seemed to be an ordinary inn, but it was actually one of the strongholds of the Amazing Fate Chamber of Commerce. They just used the reputation of the inn to gather intelligence.

They had more than a hundred such inns in Tianhai. Not only inns, but there were also brothels, textile shops, iron shops, and so on. They were in almost every industry.

Great Jing was prosperous, and the martial arts world was lively because of the True Dragon Temple. The commoners were looking forward to the harvest of Great Jing’s first navy.

The Amazing Fate Chamber of Commerce had spread throughout the 99 states. All kinds of goods were displayed in a dazzling lineup, impacting the understanding of the citizens of Great Jing. They all knew that the Amazing Fate Chamber of Commerce was from overseas, so they were filled with curiosity and expectations.

Scholars and literati everywhere were praising the unprecedented prosperity with pen and ink.

Emperor Shuntian was very satisfied with their attitude. He had also issued some strategies that were beneficial to scholars to assist the development of the literary world.

A few years after the little emperor ascended the throne, the Great Jing Empire did not collapse. Instead, it became more prosperous. Under the praise of the literati, he began to walk into the hearts of the people.

In the courtyard.

Li Jun was currently reporting to Jiang Changsheng about the recent happenings.

“Even though the True Dragon Temple had just been established, a genius that shocked the martial arts world has appeared. That genius is called Zhou Jue. At that time, the various sects were competing at the True Dragon Temple, but he actually mastered the martial arts of the various sects just by watching the battles, and he was eventually accepted as a disciple by Divine Monk Jia Ye. Zhou Jue’s name has already spread. In order to appease the anger of the various sects that their martial arts techniques had been stolen, Divine Monk Jia Ye released one of his ultimate techniques and asked the various sects to make a copy of it…

Li Jun sighed when he mentioned Zhou Jue.

The luck of Great Jing became stronger and stronger, and the geniuses that appeared became more and more exaggerated.

Bai Qi laid on the ground and said, “Perhaps those martial arts techniques are too clumsy.”

Li Jun shook his head and said, “That’s not the case. He has also rapidly learned the ultimate technique of the Fuyue Family. It seems like as long as it’s not an internal art, he can learn it after just one look.” Bai Qi curiously asked, “What realm is he in?”

“Heaven Arrival realm. He’s only sixteen years old.”

“He’s only in the Heaven Arrival realm. What ultimate techniques can he learn? I reckon he has only scratched the surface of those high-grade martial arts techniques.”

“Indeed, the ultimate technique of the Fuyue Family was far inferior when he used it, but that is only because his strength is insufficient. He has indeed learned it. With such talent in martial arts, he is definitely a genius in the martial arts world of Great Jing. Even other martial arts worlds have never heard of such talent.

Li Jun praised Zhou Jue so much that even Jiang Changsheng felt that he was extraordinary.

As a disciple of a Universe realm expert, it would probably only take a few years for Zhou Jue to become famous in the martial arts world. He would be even more glorious than Xu Tianji in the past.

Jiang Changsheng estimated that there would be more and more geniuses like him in the future due to luck.

Li Jun stayed for an hour before he left. During this period, Jiang Changsheng listened to him as he cultivated with relish.

“The new waves in the Yangtze River surpass the old. It’s time for me to break through to the eighth level of the Dao Technique.”

Jiang Changsheng thought to himself as his eyes flickered.

It had been fifty years since his last breakthrough, and he finally felt that he was close to it. In five years at the latest, he would break through to the eighth level of the Dao Technique. He looked forward to seeing how powerful he would be at the eighth level.

There was an archipelago above the endless ocean with hundreds of islands. There were countless ships coming and going between the islands, and there was an empty island floating above the archipelago.

It was the Floating Island, a large sect on the ocean that had been established for thousands of years.

The Floating Island did not look big from afar, but when one got closer, one would realize that there was a city on the island. There was even a tower in the center of the city, and at the top of the tower was a palace.

In the hall, Island Master Beidou was currently training. He had white hair, but his face did not look old. His long robe draped over the ground, and his entire temperament was otherworldly. A red ball of light condensed in his palms, and electric currents intertwined as it trembled.

A man in a raincoat stood in the hall below. He looked to be in his forties or fifties and was reporting information.

“The Evil Lord and his disciple fell into the Absolute God Strait. The disciples did not dare to chase after them and could only stay nearby.”

When Zhang Beidou heard that, he did not open his eyes and calmly said, “I want to see him dead or alive. I don’t want to see the birth of a second Ye Xun.

“Yes!”

The man in the raincoat accepted the order and was about to leave.

Zhang Beidou suddenly opened his eyes and asked, “Has the Red Moon Ancestor not returned yet?”

The man in the raincoat looked up and said, “No. I heard from someone from the Amazing Fate Chamber of Commerce that the Red Moon Ancestor should have died in Great Jing. It is said that Great Jing had taken in the corpses of five Grotto-heaven realm experts.”

Zhang Beidou narrowed his eyes and said, “You may leave.”

The man in the raincoat turned around and left.

Zhang Beidou slowly retracted his hand and the red ball of light in his palm disappeared.

He frowned and muttered, “Who is the Dao Ancestor?”

He was well aware of the strength of the Red Moon Ancestor. He was an old monster who had been all-powerful in Tianhai for three hundred years, second only to Ye Xun. In recent years, it was widely rumored that he was about to break through to the Two Grotto-heaven realm. Once he succeeded, he would definitely be the number one expert in Tianhai.

If the Red Moon Ancestor went to Great Jing as someone in the Two Grotto-heaven realm and died there, then the strength of the Dao Ancestor…

Could it be the rumored Three Grotto-heaven realm?

Zhang Beidou’s eyelids twitched.

Three Grotto-heaven realm!

He had lived for so long, but he had only met one such expert. That expert had only passed by this ocean area and did not stay in Tianhai for long.

It was not only Tianhai, but this entire ocean area did not even have a single expert in the Three Grotto-heaven realm!

At least on the surface, he had never heard of someone like that.

He could not understand why an expert in the Three Grotto-heaven realm would want to occupy the Dragon Vein Continent and why he did not go to the Tianchen Continent. The martial arts resources and luck of the Tianchen Continent far exceeded the Dragon Vein Continent.

An expert in the Three Grotto-heaven realm could absolutely sweep across the Tianchen Continent!

Zhang Beidou could not figure it out. He only understood one thing, and that was that the Dragon Vein Continent could not be provoked.

Before the two sides became enemies, he had to think of a way to befriend them. Otherwise, he would not be able to sleep or eat well with such a powerful expert by his side.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Beidou’s lips moved slightly, as if he was saying something, but there was no sound.

Not long after, a heroic man walked into the palace.

That person was his son, Zhang Chenggang.

“Go to Great Jing immediately and personally investigate the Dao Ancestor.

Also, think of a way to build a good relationship with the imperial family of Great Jing. It would be best if you can visit the Dao Ancestor. I will allow you to do everything you can to be on good terms with him. Remember, the Dao Ancestor is very likely to be in the legendary Three Grotto-heaven realm. You cannot be careless or negligent. Do you understand?”

After Zhang Beidou said that solemnly, he threw a token to Zhang Chenggang.

Zhang Chenggang caught the token in a daze.

Did he hear it wrong?

Three Grotto-heaven realm!

This was too f*cking outrageous!

In the past year, more and more foreign martial artists had entered Great Jing, especially the Si Province. It had become exceptionally prosperous, and the number of martial artists entering and leaving the city gates every day had reached an extremely exaggerated number. As a result, the Emperor had no choice but to recruit merchants to open an inn outside the city and gather food and wine for the entire Si Province.

Longqi Temple was the busiest. Martial artists from all over the world wanted to visit the Dao Ancestor.

Within the Enlightenment Hall.

Qing’er shook her head and said, “Thank you for your kind intentions, but I cannot let you see the Dao Ancestor. If the Dao Ancestor wants to see you, he will naturally tell me. You have been in the hall for so long, but the Dao Ancestor has yet to summon you. This means that you are not fated.”

The middle-aged man seated beside her forced a smile. However, he had no choice but to accept the tea with a smile.

The two of them chatted for a while before the middle-aged man left.

Qing’er let out a breath and wiped the sweat on her forehead. “I’m so tired,” she muttered.

Even though she was tired, she was very excited. It was because these sects would send gifts whenever they came to visit Longqi Temple. In those gifts, there were martial arts techniques, divine weapons, and treasures. Even if they could not see the Dao Ancestor, they had to try their best to build a relationship with Longqi Temple.

Before she could rest, someone else came in. She immediately straightened her posture and prepared to welcome the guests.

On the other side, in the courtyard of Longqi Mountain.

Bai Qi sighed. “So many powerful auras. There are so many experts in Great

Jing? Isn’t the change in the past few decades too great?”

The Sword God touched his sword and said calmly, “No matter how fast Great Jing develops, it’s impossible for it to be this strong. I reckon many people are from overseas. After all, the reputation of Longqi Temple is now built on the corpses of five Grotto-heaven realm experts..”
