Rejected by the Crown Prince and deemed unmarriageable, the ugly woman was forced by the imperial family to marry the Regent Prince, the Emperor's uncle.
The Regent Prince was plagued by ...
Chapter 377: Kowtow to the Master!
Buzz!
Several elders felt their heads buzzing.
And all the disciples were in an uproar!
"What...did I hear it right?"
"More than 30,000 games! How is this possible..."
"For thousands of years, Xuanyuan Qimen has always been the pinnacle of Qimen Dunjia, but there are only 4,320 games. How could there be more than 30,000 games..."
"...A gimmick, right? Maybe they just split each game into many parts and made up the numbers!"
The disciples were all in disbelief and stood up for their own unique skills.
However, the elders turned a deaf ear and only nervously watched the ancestor's reaction.
They knew that at this point, they could no longer fathom Yun Qingqing's strength.
Whether what she said is true or false depends on how our ancestors respond.
On the top floor of Xuanyuan Tower, when the old ancestor heard the number "thirty-four thousand five hundred and sixty", his expression was shocked, but it didn't seem like he was just shocked.
His lips trembled, and he asked again in a trembling voice:
"So... this Qimen Dunjia, did you really figure it out... yourself?"
Yun Qingqing looked at the man in front of her who was called "ancestor" and was not surprised by his reaction.
This man had long silver hair and a loud but weathered voice. From behind, one would think he was an old man who had become a hidden master.
But his face looked no more than twenty years old, with picturesque eyebrows, red lips and white teeth. At first glance, he looked like a person who walked out of a painting.
Although it was not as good as someone else's angelic appearance, it was enough for her to recognize some familiar features.
The first time she saw this person, she knew he was that person's descendant.
Thinking of the past, Yun Qingqing curled her lips slightly and said softly:
"That's right. When I first figured out this Qimen Dunjia formation, there were a total of 34,560 games."
"Later, Ji Xuanyuan led his army to resist the demons. I had other matters to attend to, so I taught him the Qimen Dunjia."
"He has good talent, but time is tight. It is impossible for him to learn all 30,000 games, so I simplified it to 4,320 games and passed it on to him. He lived up to everyone's expectations and killed the demon in the formation. Thus, Xuanyuan Qimen came into being in this world."
"So... it was the Nine Heavens Qimen..." The handsome silver-haired man said in a daze, his voice suddenly rising, "That was really the Nine Heavens Qimen just now!"
He fell to his knees and bowed at Yun Qingqing's feet!
“May our ancestors bless you! You are truly the reincarnation of Lady Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady! Our Lord has returned! Your subordinate Ji Wujiang pays respect to the Lord!”
"Um?"
Yun Qingqing was not surprised that he would be terrified after recognizing her true identity, but his reaction made her a little stunned.
"Wait..." Yun Qingqing raised his hand and closed the light curtain projected by the Xuanyuan Tower, and rubbed his eyebrows.
"Stand up and answer first. Why do you want to recognize me as your master?"
Ji Wujiang refused to stand up and said loudly:
"The Ji clan's great ancestor Xuanyuan was taught the art of Qimen Dunjia by Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu 2,157 years ago, and the whole clan was able to escape the disaster of being destroyed by the demons. However, the great ancestor always regretted that he had no chance to be accepted as a disciple by Lady Xuan Nu, so he left behind an ancestral precept. From him on, the whole Ji clan, generation after generation, will serve Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu as their master and swear allegiance to her until death!"
"My lord, please accept my three bows!" Ji Wujiang bowed to her three times without hesitation.
"Okay, you get up first."
Yun Qingqing understood the whole story, accepted the three bows calmly, and asked him to stand up.
The ancestral precepts of the Xuan Sect, like the solemn oath, are related to the heart of Taoism. Besides, there is nothing she cannot bear.
The problem is another matter...
The fact that Ji Xuanyuan left behind this ancestral precept shows that he had expected that he would have a chance to come back, and he hoped that his descendants would be blessed by him.
Everything that would happen thousands of years after his eclosion had been arranged, which was really in line with that guy's cunning style...
But why did he expect that he would be able to come back with his soul intact?
Did something happen after the sacrifice?
Yun Qingqing thought for a moment and asked again:
"What is the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens? Is that the name Ji Xuanyuan gave me?" She was a little confused.
In his previous life, he was the chief leader of all the Xuanmen sects in the world, but he had never had any title other than True Man Qingyun.
Besides, the title of Lady of the Nine Heavens is a bit too big.
Ji Wujiang's expression was moved, and his voice changed slightly as he became emotional:
"My Lord, you sacrificed your life to save all living things two thousand years ago. You were recognized as the savior by everyone at that time. The Lady of the Nine Heavens is the respectful name given to you by the world after your death."
"Two thousand years ago..." Yun Qingqing whispered, "Does anyone still remember that incident?"
She had explored the legends of this world before, but she only knew that it started two thousand years ago, with the fall of the immortals and the change of times, and she had not seen a single word related to herself.
Because of this, even though she had discovered various clues and had long suspected that this was her original world, she had always believed that her own affairs had long been submerged in the long river of history.
Ji Wujiang's voice suddenly became somewhat angry:
"Most of the Xuanmen sects have forgotten their roots. They even said that the catastrophe was caused by a natural disaster, which led to the exhaustion of spiritual energy and the death of powerful people. They refuse to admit that it was you who sacrificed yourself to prevent the catastrophe of destruction! Now only our Seven Stars Hall has passed down your deeds from generation to generation, and we dare not forget it! Although other sects don't talk about it on the surface, they don't believe it at all in private!"
Yun Qingqing was not surprised by what he said, and said calmly:
"Things change. Today, the cultivation environment is bad and resources are scarce. Each sect will pay more attention to its position in the Xuanmen. The Seven Stars Hall has worshipped me as their master for generations. If they admit that the legends about me are true, wouldn't that be tantamount to being at a disadvantage?"
"Disciple understands..." Ji Wujiang nodded, and he was even more proud. "Now that the master has returned and the Nine Heavens Qimen has reappeared in the world, let's see what those old guys can say to be stubborn!"
Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows and glanced at him:
"How dare you use other people's age as an excuse?"
"Uh..." Ji Wujiang touched his nose and coughed, "I'm different from them. I'm..."
He lowered his voice and hesitated to speak.
"No need to say, I know everything." Yun Qingqing said gently.
Ji Wujiang nodded gratefully, and his voice had now completely returned to the clear and bright voice of a young man.
He looked at Yun Qingqing eagerly and asked:
"Then, Master, what are your plans now? When are you going to take charge of Xuanmen again?"
"There's no rush for this." Yun Qingqing suddenly realized something and said seriously, "I'm still investigating something right now, so my identity shouldn't be made public for now. I'll talk about it when the time is right."
"...I understand!"
Ji Wujiang was somewhat disappointed that he could not announce the return of the Queen Mother of the West to the world and slap those old guys in the face.
But his enthusiasm remained unabated.
After all, the master only said that her identity in her previous life could not be made public, but he did not say that they could not recognize this master, so that's good.
Thinking of this, his eyelids suddenly twitched. The master did not say that he could not recognize her, right?
A thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately pulled up his hood and lowered it. He raised his hand and waved it, and a formation appeared on the ground.
At the same time, a formation appeared under the feet of several elders outside the tower. After a flash of light, five elders appeared on the top floor of Xuanyuan Tower.
