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 correctly?"
"Over 30,000 games! How is this possible..."
"For thousands of years, Xuanyuan Qimen has always been the pinnacle of Qimen Dunjia, and there are only 4,320 games. How could there be more than 30,000 games..."
"...A gimmick, huh? 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, several elders turned a deaf ear and only nervously watched the ancestor's reaction.
They knew that at this point, they could no longer fully grasp Yun Qingqing's strength.
Whether what she said was true or false depends on how our ancestors respond.
On the top floor of Xuanyuan Tower, the old ancestor was shocked when he heard the number "thirty-four thousand five hundred and sixty", 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... on your own?"
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 aged 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 walking 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 comprehended this Qimen Dunjia formation, there were a total of 34,560 rounds."
"Later, Ji Xuanyuan led his army to resist the demons. I was busy with other matters, so I taught him the Qimen Dunjia."
"He had considerable talent, but time was tight. Learning over 30,000 games was simply impossible, so I condensed it to 4,320 games and passed them on to him. He lived up to expectations and slew the demon leader in the formation, and thus the 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!
"Ancestors bless you! You are truly the reincarnation of Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu! Our Lord has returned! Your subordinate Ji Wujiang pays homage 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 her hand and closed the light curtain projected by the Xuanyuan Tower, rubbing her eyebrows.
"Stand up and answer first. Why do you want to acknowledge 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 two thousand one hundred and fifty-seven years ago. This allowed the entire clan to escape destruction at the hands of the demons. However, the great ancestor always regretted not having the opportunity to be accepted as a disciple by Lady Xuan Nu. Therefore, he left behind an ancestral precept. From him on, the entire 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 Xuanmen ancestral precepts, like the solemn oath, are related to the heart of Taoism. Besides, she has nothing to bear.
The problem is another matter...
Ji Xuanyuan left behind this ancestral precept, indicating that he had anticipated that he would have a chance to return, and hoped that his descendants would be protected by him.
Everything that happens thousands of years after his eclosion has been arranged, which really suits 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 Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady? Is that the name Ji Xuanyuan gave me?" She was a little confused.
In his previous life, he was the chief leader of the Xuanmen sect in the world, but he had never had a title other than Qingyun Zhenren.
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 was agitated:
"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. 'Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady' is the respectful title 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 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, claiming the catastrophe was caused by a natural disaster, leading to the depletion of spiritual energy and the deaths of powerful beings. They refuse to acknowledge that it was you who sacrificed yourself to prevent the annihilation of the world! Now, only we in the Seven Stars Palace have passed down your deeds from generation to generation, and we will never forget them! Although the other sects keep silent on the surface, they privately don't believe it at all!"
Yun Qingqing was not surprised by what he said, and said calmly:
"Time has changed. The current cultivation environment is harsh, resources are scarce, and each sect is placing greater emphasis on their status within the Xuanmen. The Seven Stars Palace has worshipped me as their master for generations. If they acknowledge the legends about me as true, wouldn't that be tantamount to accepting inferiority?"
"Disciple understands..." Ji Wujiang nodded, and he looked even more proud. "Now that the master has returned, 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 bring up someone else's age?"
"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 do you plan to take over Xuanmen again?"
"There's no rush." Yun Qingqing suddenly realized something and said seriously, "I'm still investigating something right now, so I can't reveal my identity 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 undiminished.
After all, the master only said that her identity in the 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 lowered his hood, 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, the five elders appeared at the top of the Xuanyuan Tower.
