In some ways, these men could be considered some of the most awesome men in the world, and it's unexpected that they all have a grudge against Jing Teng.
Zuan felt a headache coming on when he thought about what he would encounter next.
"However, I heard that the leader of the Divine Firmament Sect disappeared many years ago. Over the years, the remaining high-ranking members of the Divine Firmament Sect have been fighting tooth and nail for the position of leader, but to no avail." Zu An has been doing everything he can to understand this world these days, hoping to find Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen as soon as possible.
“As the largest cultivation sect in the world, the Shenxiao Sect naturally has an obsession with becoming an immortal. The reason he sowed discord between Zang Ao and me back then was not for the so-called exorcism and protection of the righteous path, but simply to find out some secrets about the Immortal Lord Baopu from me.” Jing Teng’s voice was icy. “Later, he did gain some benefits. In addition, he was already at the top level of cultivation in the world. After taking another step forward, he even began to undergo tribulation.”
"Tribulation?" Zu An and the others were taken aback. Tribulation was a legendary thing, often a threshold that one had to pass on the path to immortality.
Given Zhao Hao's cultivation level, whether due to the influence of the world's laws or something else, he was unable to take that step and thus could not begin his tribulation.
Jing Teng sneered, "The path to immortality in this world was severed in ancient times. It's not so easy to transcend tribulations. Naturally, he was struck by the supreme lightning tribulation and died, falling into the sea and disappearing without a trace. The Divine Firmament Sect doesn't know about this past event and only thinks he has disappeared. In addition, because they can't find the three talismans on his body, no matter who becomes the sect leader, they can't convince the masses. That's why they have been fighting for so many years and have been unable to choose a sect leader."
"A talisman?" Qiu Honglei asked, somewhat puzzled.
Jing Teng explained, "People often treat talismans and registers as the same thing, but talismans and registers are actually two completely different items. Talismans are used to summon heavenly soldiers and generals, just like military tallies in the human world."
Zuan was taken aback: "Are there really heavenly soldiers and generals in this world?"
Jing Teng shook his head slightly: "No one knows whether those are really soldiers and generals from the Heavenly Palace. It's just that everyone calls them that to show respect. The Immortal Lord mentioned before that those 'heavenly soldiers and generals' are more likely to be manifestations of some laws of this world."
She continued, "The talisman is proof of the talisman's identity. Only those who have received the talisman can use the corresponding talisman. Otherwise, if any ordinary person without cultivation could imitate and draw those talismans and summon the power of heaven and earth to use for their own purposes, wouldn't that cause chaos?"
“Sun En possesses the three most powerful talismans passed down through generations of the Shenxiao Sect. To some extent, these three talismans are also proof of the Shenxiao Sect’s leader.”
"I see!" Zu'an and Qiu Honglei exchanged a glance. In their world, talismans seemed to be somewhat different from those here.
They had witnessed Xie Daoyun and Yan Xuehen using some talismans, but their main function was in formations, not in summoning any 'heavenly soldiers and generals', and they had never heard of them needing to be ordained.
“In short, Sun En is dead, so there’s no need to worry about him. Just be careful of the Ghost King and Zang Ao,” Jing Teng said.
"From what you're saying, you're going to that big tomb?" Qiu Honglei asked, frowning.
"That's right, my original body was buried somewhere in the Great Tomb back then." Jing Teng spoke of the past with a touch of melancholy. She was already extremely beautiful, and this made her even more pitiful.
Qiu Honglei secretly praised him, then transmitted her voice to Zu'an: "Aunt, I think we should go and take a look at that big tomb. With such a big matter, I believe that even if Master can't find us, he will most likely go there to check the situation."
Zu An nodded slightly: "That's right. Judging from the previous situations in the secret realm, we often need to solve some special thing before we can leave. Now it seems that the great tomb is the key. Since Jing Teng is related to that Bao Pu Immortal Lord, having her with us might help solve some problems."
Qiu Honglei couldn't help but smile as she looked at her: "Oh dear, she's so beautiful, what man could refuse to help her? No need to make up so many excuses."
Zuan: "..."
Am I being wronged? I was just stating the facts.
The group quickly reached an agreement to continue escorting Jing Teng to Zhichuan, with the latter promising to provide some relevant intelligence.
...
In a dilapidated mansion, there is a dark ancient well, from which countless long hairs extend out in a vast expanse.
If an ordinary person saw this scene, they would probably faint on the spot. However, at this moment, the terrifying long hair seemed to have encountered something terrifying, and it seemed to be trembling and running away in panic.
The next moment, a frost appeared at the well opening, and then the frost spread across the long hair at a visible speed, and soon all the hair was frozen into an ice sculpture.
A flash of sword light, and the entire ice sculpture shattered completely; the hair seemed to have vanished from the world.
A graceful figure, wielding a long sword, leaped lightly from the bottom of the well, her long hair flowing and her white robes as white as snow.
"Clap clap clap~"
A round of applause came from the side, and a middle-aged man in an Adventurer's Guild uniform stood not far away: "I heard that the Adventurer's Association has recently added a very powerful newcomer who has eliminated eighteen troublesome ghosts in a short period of time. Seeing him today, he is indeed extraordinary."
He paused, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes: "And she is so beautiful and refined."
The woman in white was naturally Yan Xuehen. She glanced at him indifferently, her gaze falling on the special pattern on his sleeve. The staff of the Adventurer's Guild used these patterns to indicate their status and rank.
The person in front of her was taller than anyone she had ever seen before.
