Star Trace Gate

The Sword of Mankind, Jiang Yu.

Taoist name: Tianque Taoist...

Ren Ye was thoughtful, with a very puzzled expression on his face. He frowned and looked at Wang Changfeng and said, "This is very strange. Since Senior Bai Tiaoji is the ancestor of your sect, why is he imprisoned in the ancient pond ancestral land? Moreover, he seems to dislike you very much...!"

"What white-striped chicken?!" Wang Changfeng suspected that Ren Ye was insulting his sect's ancestor.

Ren scratched his nose awkwardly, "It's a pet name, a pet name."

Wang Changfeng slowly stood up, gave him a look that said "you need to be more polite", and then said in a deep voice: "After you told me that there were living people in the ancestral land, I ordered people to return to the secret realm sect and bring back the fragments of the sect history. One of them is about the ancestor...!"

"What did you say?!"

Ren immediately became interested and looked very gossipy.

After a brief pause, Wang Changfeng proudly said, "Ancestor Jiang entered the sect at the age of eight, was promoted to the third rank in two years, and touched the threshold of Condensation. At the age of twelve, he entered the fourth rank. His talent was unparalleled in the migration area, so he was chosen by the headmaster as the chief disciple of the generation. Together with Tianfeng, he was called the Twin Dragons of Gutan. Although these two ancestors were not very old at the time, in the hearts of the sect disciples, the next generation of the headmaster must be one of them."

"When Patriarch Jiang was 23 years old, Gutan Sect welcomed the ten-year sect competition. The number one person in the sect who won in the end would represent Gutan Sect in the Tiandu Divine Court Conference. Everyone in the sect knew that this competition would determine the seats of the first generation of disciples and the next headmaster. I read the remaining chapters of the sect history and found that many people at that time believed that a shocking battle would inevitably break out between Patriarch Jiang and Patriarch Tianfeng. But who would have thought that three days before the competition began, Patriarch Jiang was temporarily trapped in a secret realm because he acted too arrogantly and ignored the sect's rule that he could not enter the secret realm before the competition. He did not return to the sect on time and missed the competition... Patriarch Tianfeng won without fighting."

"Rumors are spreading within the sect. Many people say that Patriarch Jiang is afraid that he won't be able to defeat Patriarch Tianfeng, so he deliberately trapped himself in the secret realm."

"However, in September of the same year, the Divine Court Conference of Tiandu was held on schedule. However, the description of this conference in my sect history is very vague. I only know that this conference is led by the Divine Court of the Order Camp and is held every fifty years. It is also a battlefield where the young geniuses of the entire migration area must fight for their lives. Only the winners can enter the Divine Court and obtain the ancient secret method. Originally, the Gutan Sect was going to send Patriarch Tianfeng to attend the conference and compete with the geniuses of thousands of sects. But three days before the conference, he was too impatient and practiced all night, which damaged his body... He was in a sluggish state and could not attend the conference."

Ren Ye heard this and asked with a very strange expression: "The Tian Feng you are talking about, is it the Tian Feng Zhenren we saw in the temple? Is he from the same generation as Senior Bai Tiao Ji?"

"Of course. But at that time, Patriarch Tianfeng was not qualified to be called a real person." Wang Changfeng nodded slightly.

"He and Senior White Stripe Chicken are fellow apprentices?"

"Yes."

"Haha, the personalities of this pair of brothers are so interesting." Ren Ye blinked and chuckled, "During the competition, Patriarch Jiang was ridiculously trapped in the secret realm; and during the Tiandu Divine Court Conference, Patriarch Tianfeng was ridiculously depressed? Are they treating each other with respect? Or do they have their own calculations?"

"I don't know either." Wang Changfeng shook his head slightly.

"And then?" Ren Ye asked.

"Since Patriarch Tianfeng cannot participate in the battle, then Patriarch Jiang is the only one in the entire sect who is qualified to fight on behalf of Senior Brother." Wang Changfeng stopped quietly, looked at the blue sky outside the door with his hands behind his back, and said with great pride and yearning: "That Tiandu Divine Court Conference ushered in the most glorious and prosperous moment of our Gutan Sect."

Ren Ye rubbed his palms together and asked tentatively, "Senior Bai Tiao Ji is showing off?!"

"108 battles, all won. Ancestor Jiang suppressed the entire migration area with one sword. No one has dared to call himself a genius in the past fifty years."

"It is recorded in the annals of the ancient sects that Jiang Yu won 108 matches and ascended the divine platform to be conferred a title. The Divine Court also offered a divine book as a prize, asking Jiang Yu if he dared to fight. He was the number one genius in the previous generation's conference. If he could win, he could take the divine book."

"It is obvious that the Divine Court's move is to use the grand occasion of the Tiandu Conference to make Jiang Yu's name resound throughout the world and highlight this unparalleled talent of the Order Camp."

"Jiang Yu agreed, stood on the Divine Platform, and fought again against the previous generation of Divine Court geniuses."

"How can he be only 23 years old? The previous generation of Divine Court geniuses are all old monsters from a hundred years ago."

"In that battle, Patriarch Jiang used all his trump cards and reached his highest level. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he struck into the forbidden avenue of the gods with one sword and defeated the genius on the high platform!"

"He has actually touched the forbidden avenue of the gods. Even the head of our Gutan Sect at that time did not know this."

"After that sword strike, the entire Order camp in the migration area was in an uproar!"

"Twenty-three years old! At the age of twenty-three, he has already touched the forbidden path of God. This is unprecedented. This is the birth of a great man in the world. It is a symbol of the prosperity of our order!"

"The Divine Court said that there should be a Jiang Yu in the human world, and there should be this sword in the human world. Since then, the name of the sword in the human world has been known throughout the migration area."

Wang Changfeng recalled the past with a perverted look on his face, as if he was also a witness to the grand occasion at that time. His voice trembled as he said, "However, after that battle, Ancestor Tianfeng did not make any progress for twenty years."

Ren Ye immediately interrupted with a venomous tongue, "That's normal. I guess his defense is broken. Think about it, Senior Bai Tiaoji found a very poor excuse before and didn't participate in the sect competition, so that he won without a fight. As we all know, the strong have dignity. Tianfeng Zhenren felt that his victory was not glorious, so he found an even poorer excuse to let Senior Bai Tiaoji participate in the Tiandu Conference. He originally just wanted to see the depth of his junior brother, but he never thought that the depth of his junior brother was like the abyss of a carcass that could not be peeped into."

"What kind of nonsense are these?" Wang Changfeng spat in disdain, "You are the emperor, but this is the only literary talent you have?"

"I am afraid of my brothers' suffering, and I am also afraid of my brothers driving Land Rover." Ren Ye used easy-to-understand words, and said quietly: "This sect competition is naturally not as valuable as the Tiandu Festival. Senior Bai Tiaoji won 108 battles in a row, and defeated the genius of a hundred years ago... Isn't it known to everyone in the sect that Senior Bai Tiaoji was not trapped in the secret realm, but deliberately gave in to Tianfeng Zhenren. Killing people is heartbreaking, killing people is heartbreaking...!"

"If it were me, I would probably break through the defense as well."

After he made a serious comment, he asked curiously, "What happened next?"

Wang Changfeng rolled his eyes at him and sighed, "Alas, there are few records of what happened later. The sect history only states that 20 years later, the then headmaster knew that his time was up and was ready to pass the throne to Jiang Yu. However, at this critical moment, Jiang Yu made a big mistake that was not tolerated by heaven or the world. He should have died for his sins, but the then headmaster valued his talent and punished him to reflect on his mistakes in the ancestral land, confined him to his home for 50 years, and stripped him of his Taoist title of True Man, changing it to Taoist Tianque."

"Jiang Yu did not resist and bound his magical powers to enter the ancestral land. The following year, the headmaster passed away and was also buried in the ancestral land, and Ancestor Tianfeng took over the position of headmaster."

After listening to this, Ren Ye was surprised and said, "That's all? Didn't you say that Senior Bai Tiaoji made any mistakes?"

"No. There are only these few short sentences in the sect history." Wang Changfeng shook his head.

"That is to say, the mistake he made may be too outrageous and very disgraceful to the sect, so the sect history did not record it in detail." Ren Ye frowned: "But why do I smell a conspiracy in this incident?"

"how do I say this?"

"The Law of the Winner. In a fight, if the process is strange and there are many strange things, then whoever is the winner is likely to be the one who secretly planned and calculated." Ren also grinned and said, "Senior Bai Tiaoji was about to take over the throne, so why did he make such an intolerable mistake at this time? Isn't this strange? Moreover, the next year, Master Tianfeng took over the position of the headmaster, and he profited...!"

"Shut up!"

When Wang Changfeng heard this conspiracy theory, he immediately shouted, "Don't speculate about my ancestor Tianfeng! It is written in the sect history that when Jiang Yu made a mistake, Tianfeng knelt on the ground for several days and begged the headmaster for forgiveness. And since my ancestor Tianfeng became a real person, he has always been kind and generous to others in the sect. He has a very high reputation and many disciples. His character is absolutely unquestionable!"

Ren also smiled, but did not argue with him, because Wang Changfeng looked at things with personal emotions and prejudices, which was naturally unfair.

Although he had seen the evolved soul of Taoist Tianfeng in the temple, and admitted that the other party was worthy of the description of "immortal style and Taoist temperament", that was his image in his later years and did not represent his temperament and character when he was young.

You must know that Senior Bai Tiaoji had a deep resentment towards Wanxiang Sect and Gutan Sect, and even said that he would make them pay for their blood debt with blood. Moreover, during the long years he spent in his ancestral land, he not only dug up graves and treated the deceased elders of Gutan Sect as playthings, he even took Jietian Mansion for himself and even occupied the coffin of the founder of Gutan Sect.

This kind of behavior doesn't seem like the repentance of someone who made a mistake, but more like the anger of someone who was wronged.

However, Ren once tentatively asked about the conflict between Bai Tiao Ji and Wanxiang Gate, but the other party was unwilling to talk more.

It seems that something unknown and secretive must have happened during that period of time, and this secretive thing might have been the thing that destroyed Senior White-Striped Chicken's life, which was supposed to be in full bloom.

The four words "Divine Forbidden Avenue" are a height that Ren Ye cannot even peek into at the moment.

He had heard people mention that above the sixth rank were divine forbidden areas.

Only those who have entered the divine realm are qualified to talk about peeping into the heavens and attaining enlightenment.

According to the existing information, Mumu at his peak should be the strongest person in the God Forbidden Realm, but he had no idea how strong he was. However, Bai Tiaoji had already touched the edge of the God Forbidden Realm at the age of 23. What kind of terrifying talent was this?

He never expected that the little old man with great skin and a love for listening to jokes actually existed like this.

Ren was also extremely curious and asked tentatively, "Master Wang! Then... before Senior White Striped Chicken was punished to go to the ancestral land, had he officially entered the forbidden path of the gods?"

Wang Changfeng looked at the other party's eyes that seemed to want to recognize his father, shook his head slightly and said: "He should not have entered the God Forbidden Realm, because if such a big event really happened, it would definitely leave a strong and colorful mark in the sect history. But there was no record of Ancestor Jiang before he was punished... This touching the God Forbidden Great Dao is still far from being truly ranked in the God Forbidden Realm. It's like a scholar who works hard for half his life, but may not be as good as an occasional flash of inspiration. It's as difficult as ascending to heaven to glimpse the Great Dao."

Ren also touched his chin: "What about five hundred years later?"

"Being imprisoned in one place, unable to leave, without seeing the great waves, without experiencing the dangers of secret realms, without close friends or mortal enemies, is like a frog sitting at the bottom of a well. How can you talk about enlightenment?!" Wang Changfeng shook his head again: "Five hundred years can only retreat, not advance."

Ren Ye understood immediately: "But even so...it will cost extra."

"?!"

Wang Changfeng was stunned: "What do you mean by extra money?"

"That is... saving a person with a connection and saving a surviving ancestor of a sect have two different prices." Ren Ye looked at him eagerly: "Market economy, let's all be real!"

"Shameless villain." Wang Changfeng came back to his senses, pointed at his cheek and said, "I guess you are here to get some information."

"I won't add much. Today you lend me your luck. If I get into trouble someday, you will also need to lend me your luck." Ren also stood up and said, "Hehe, isn't this fair?"

Wang Changfeng pondered for a while and said, "I'm afraid the current headmaster of Wanxiang Sect will not agree to this."
