Chapter 53: The Top of the Island
Gongsun Xuan looked at the shocking mummy in front of him. If it weren't for the familiar wooden sign on the body, he would have no idea who this person was.
He finally knew who saved him.
If it weren't for the old man in front of him, he might have died or been frozen forever, and he might have woken up for ten or a hundred years.
He sighed. If he could wake up early, or Ikkiko could hold on for more time, he could still save him. Now, he could do nothing.
I remembered that a year ago, this strange old man beat him up, just to take him as his disciple, but he mistakenly thought that he had already worshipped the old monster as his teacher. What he didn't expect was that in his own danger, the old man would exhaust his energy to save him.
Gongsun Xuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully three times in front of the mummy. This was his respect for Ichimuzi, or it could be said to be grateful.
He is not an ungrateful person.
Gongsun Xuan picked up the mummy lying on the ground and looked up at the towering Tianzhu Peak. It was the place that all warriors yearned for, and it should be the place where Yimuzi belonged. He wanted to bring Yimuzi back to the temple. At the same time, he also wanted to go to the so-called temple to see it. For nothing else, he went to visit the ancestors of all generations on the island. Without their silent efforts, the study of martial arts on the island would not have been so great. Moreover, Gongsun Xuan's achievements today would not have been as successful as he was. It can be said that the ancestors of the island gave him endless help.
Gongsun Xuan's skill increased sharply at this moment. He had already entered the third step. And the old monster turned his lifelong skills into cold air when he died and instilled it into him. Although he eliminated a lot of cold air, when he practiced the dead wood Technique, the cold air could be said to be used as nutrients to become a powerful supply of the dead wood Technique, and his skills increased greatly. At this moment, he felt that the true energy in his body was a little too inflated, as if he had reached the critical point.
Climbing to Tianzhu Peak with bare hands is a very simple thing for him.
It took him half an hour to climb the mountain that was more than two thousand feet high.
Looking at the ancient hall behind the steps, Gongsun Xuan stood silently. This place was made by his ancestors with his hard work, and he had to admire them.
He walked up slowly, and his tall figure became more and more tall. From now on, he also belonged to a part of the hall.
He reached out and slowly pushed open the stone door. It was very dim inside. A few lamp oils were floating with a few lights, blurring the general situation in the hall.
There are two acquaintances in the hall.
When Yun Danzi and Shou Zhugan saw that Gongsun Xuan was coming in, they were both surprised and speechless.
Because before the boy entered the door, they didn't notice his approach at all.
The two looked at each other and saw their own shock in each other's eyes. "Not only did he wake up, but his skills improved so much."
The two of them felt bitter. What Gongsun Xuan showed was a big blow to them. They have lived for more than 80 years and are still not as good as a 16-year-old boy.
"This is the body of Senior Yimuzi. Please ask two seniors to bury him." Gongsun Xuan placed Yimuzi's body flat on the ground and looked at the two old men in front of him. Although he had been here for nearly a year, he didn't know anything about the rules here. The rules set by his ancestors must abide by. He was very clear about this.
"Oh. I didn't expect Yimuzi to leave so early." Yun Danzi sighed. His friendship with Yimuzi was pretty good, and he was still a little regretful about Yimuzi's death. After all, people like them, with the help of elixirs, lived more than 100 times. Just like that old monster, the reason why he called him the old monster was that he lived for at least 120 years.
"From now on, you are one of us. The ancestor once set rules that as long as you can enter the ethereal realm, you will be equal and not distinguished from each other. Unless you can enter the legendary fourth step, you can be promoted to the Supreme Elder, the real master of this island." Shou Zhugan looked at Gongsun Xuan and said slowly.
His eyes were very complicated. For Gongsun Xuan, with his current achievements, it was only a matter of time before he entered the fourth step.
"From now on, your responsibility is to protect this temple."
"Guardian?" Gongsun Xuan raised his head and looked at the thin bamboo pole, "Haha, I think I'll forget it. If you have all the seniors here, do you still need me? I want to leave this island and go outside to take a look."
"Leave?" Shou Zhugan and Yun Danzi were both shocked. They also knew that after becoming elders, their freedom was not restricted and could do whatever they wanted. However, after becoming elders, they still had something they had to do, that is, to protect the temple for twenty years. Only after protecting them could they leave at will.
"No. Although the elders can leave at will, there are conditions. They must protect the temple for twenty years, and in twenty years, they can do whatever they want. But in these twenty years, you must stay here." Shou Zhugan's tone was a little excited.
"What if it doesn't?" Gongsun Xuan said silently.
"That's to provoke the ancestral teachings. We have the right to punish you."
Even though the old monster did a lot of vicious things back then, he still kept a close eye on the ancestral teachings. Otherwise, the elders in the temple would not tolerate him for such a long time. I really thought that the old monster was afraid to take action because of their strong strength. That was definitely a mistake.
"Punishment? Haha, I see who can punish me." Gongsun Xuan suddenly changed his tone, and a powerful aura burst out from his body, extremely powerful.
"Ah!" Shou Zhugan felt this powerful momentum and waves arose in his heart. He felt weak under this momentum.
So, so, so. More than a dozen clothes sounded, and suddenly more than a dozen figures appeared in the hall.
"What's going on? Who has such a powerful aura?" Everyone who had just come out didn't understand, so they couldn't help asking. The aura emitted by Gongsun Xuan made them feel the agile. They were shocked, thinking that something big happened. They ran out of their posts one by one.
Gongsun Xuan looked at the dozen people and looked at them from the breath that these people should be the elders guarding the hall.
"From today on my business, I will make the decision." Gongsun Xuan glanced at everyone and his tone was cold.
Listening to Gongsun Xuan's words, everyone in the hall felt their hearts trembling, and they felt the coldness in Gongsun Xuan's tone.
Seeing Gongsun Xuan standing in front of them all shocked. Not only was Gongsun Xuan able to survive, but the momentum released by Gongsun Xuan was also shocked. That momentum was not something they could resist.
