Elder Feng and Elder Ming used strange hand seals to work together to open the formation that opened the forbidden area's gate.
The ancient gate, covered in snow, creaked and groaned as it slowly opened to the sides, shaking off the snowflakes.
Black Owl unleashed two sword energies into the room.
The eternal lamps on both sides of the forbidden area sensed the spiritual energy flowing in from the outside and spontaneously ignited, illuminating the scene inside.
It appears to be a natural cave that has been transformed, with both sides retaining the original appearance of the cave.
The ground was doused with water, which froze into a smooth, natural ice surface. Under the illumination of the ever-burning lights, it resembled a road leading to the heavens.
Black Owl led Ji Fengming inside, and then said as they walked: "When I left a thousand years ago, I made a promise with Elder Feng and Elder Ming that if I returned a thousand years later, I would enter the forbidden area again to report to my ancestors."
If I do not return after a thousand years, then make them allow the sect's patriarch to lead the new sect leader into the forbidden area to offer sacrifices to the ancestors.
Ji Fengming subtly raised an eyebrow: "I see."
Before long, Ji Fengming exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Chen, you...you brought me here to offer sacrifices to our ancestors and report to Heaven?!"
Black Owl turned to the side and lightly tapped his forehead, laughing helplessly, "What nonsense are you talking about? My father is perfectly fine, why is he offering sacrifices to ancestors or praying to heaven?"
"Huh?" Ji Fengming was dumbfounded and didn't come to his senses for a moment.
“My father has only ascended to the upper realm, not passed away. I brought you here to see him, not to pay my respects to him.” Black Owl’s eyes were as shimmering as water, and his long, narrow peach blossom eyes were full of charm even when he didn’t mean to, not to mention his gentle and tender manner.
Ji Fengming felt that it was impossible for him to see his father, let alone the King of Hell!
etc……!
"You...your father? You said, take me to see your father!" Ji Fengming was shocked: "How? Through the emergence of the Nascent Soul?"
"This is the greatest secret of our Hanyu Sect. Our Hanyu Sect has a treasure mirror that can connect to the upper realm." Hei Xiao naturally held Ji Fengming's hand, transferring his aura to him and covering his entire body. He transmitted his thoughts, saying, "Follow me closely. There are arrays ahead. Only those who carry the sect master's seal or are direct descendants of the Ling family can pass through."
Ji Fengming, who was "connected to the upper realm," was even more shocked: "Isn't it said that the immortal and mortal realms are not connected, and one must pass the ascension tribulation to ascend?"
As Hei Xiao walked, he spoke in a gentle and melodious voice, the tone that Ji Fengming liked the most. "I don't know the specific origin of this treasure mirror. It is said that it was a pair of magical treasures that one of our Ling family's great-grandmothers brought into the Ling family as part of her dowry."
Later, that great-grandmother passed the ascension tribulation first. Because she couldn't bear to part with her great-grandfather, she left one of the two treasure mirrors to him before ascending to the upper realm. The other mirror was taken to the upper realm by that great-grandfather.
Unexpectedly, after that great-grandmother ascended to the upper realm, she discovered that she could still meet and talk with her great-grandfather through the magic mirror.
Since then, this precious mirror has become a closely guarded secret of the Ling family, and one of our family heirlooms passed down through generations.
"Holy crap, that's incredibly awesome! If word got out, it would scare a lot of people to death!" Ji Fengming exclaimed in amazement. He then added, "So, your Ling family is quite a force in the Upper Realm. We'll have a powerful backer when we ascend to the Upper Realm in the future!"
“Heh…” Black Owl shook his head with a bitter smile.
"What's wrong?" Ji Fengming asked, puzzled, seeing the bitterness on his face. "Didn't your Ling family have many ancestors who couldn't ascend to the highest ranks? Didn't you establish a Snow Imperial Sect or an Ice Imperial Sect?"
