Ji Tianxing came to the Xiao clan this time just to meet the ancestor of the Xiao clan.
He doesn't care about the Holy Fire Festival of the Xiao clan or the grievances of the young disciples.
In fact, he is just a passerby to the Xiao clan.
He came to the Xiao clan only to verify one thing. Once he got the answer, he could leave without any worries.
Therefore, when he learned that Tianzhu Mountain was the residence of the ancestor of the Xiao family, he rushed there without hesitation.
"Whoosh!"
He passed through the vast clouds and mist and landed on the top of the 10,000-meter-high Tianzhu Mountain.
I saw that on the top of the mountain standing in the sea of clouds, there was a flat land with a radius of ten miles.
This piece of ground is surrounded by dark red maple leaves, but the red leaves look like the feathers of a sacred bird, red as fire.
Among the packages of thousands of spirit feather maple leaves, there is a wooden house made of black soul wood.
The wooden house has two floors, upper and lower, and about six or seven rooms.
An invisible soul-level formation protects the entire wooden house and will not decay even after thousands of years.
Each room in the wooden house has its own defensive formation, contains space power, and has its own secrets.
In the small courtyard outside the wooden house, there stands a green maple tree with a height of 100 feet.
The trunk is three feet thick, and the broad crown covers an area of thousands of feet.
Pieces of dark blue maple leaves fell from the tree crowns and sprinkled in the quiet courtyard, making a rustling sound.
Under this thousand-year-old tree, there is a bluestone table and two stone benches.
There is a chessboard carved on the table, with hundreds of black and white chess pieces placed on it.
There is a green jade pot next to the table, which contains fine wine and jade wine, exuding an intoxicating fragrance.
A thin old man wearing a black robe with white hair reaching his waist was sitting on a stone bench like a dead tree, motionless.
His aura was extremely restrained, without any fluctuations like a mortal's. His whole body didn't even have the aura of life, just like a piece of rotten wood.
Regardless of whether you look at it with the naked eye or explore it with your spiritual sense, people will mistakenly think that this is an old man who has passed away.
But Ji Tianxing's soul power was able to detect that the black-robed old man's body contained soul power as vast as the abyss.
He could vaguely sense that the white-haired old man's soul power seemed to have reached the peak of the Soul Refining Realm, and he was only one step away from entering the Supreme Soul Realm!
The old man in black robe sat witheredly under the tree, with dozens of green maple leaves scattered on his white hair and black robe.
I don't know how long he sat under the tree, never moving.
His eyes were still and he was staring at the chessboard on the table. He held a black chess piece in his right hand, which stayed in mid-air and never fell.
Ji Tianxing stepped lightly, stepped into the small courtyard, and walked towards the green maple tree.
The old man in black robe turned his back to him, seemingly unaware of his arrival and remained motionless.
In a moment, Ji Tian walked under the green maple tree and stood next to the old man in black robe.
He bowed his hands and said, "Ji Tianxing, this junior, pays homage to the ancestor of the Xiao family."
There is no doubt that this old man in black robe is the ancestor of the Xiao clan.
He ignored Ji Tianxing and continued to stare at the chessboard with focused eyes.
Ji Tianxing had no choice but to stand aside and wait quietly.
Unknowingly, half an hour passed.
The ancestor of the Xiao family seemed to have finally thought of the answer, and a star-like light flashed in his deep eyes.
"Crack!"
He twisted the black chess piece in his right hand and dropped it on the stone chessboard, making a crisp sound.
When the chess piece fell, he exuded a majestic and majestic aura, and his whole person seemed to come alive.
Only then did Ji Tianxing ask: "Senior, who are you playing chess with?"
The ancestor of the Xiao family didn't look at him, pointed at the top of his head, and said one word in a deep and powerful voice.
"sky!"
Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows, with a playful smile on his lips.
"Senior, playing games with the sky? This reminds me of a past event. There was once a supremely powerful man who lived in seclusion outside the world and used great supernatural powers to observe the sky and the world.
He also set up a huge chess game in the square outside his mansion and spent thousands of years playing games with the sky."
The ancestor of the Xiao family moved slightly, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
He then raised his head, took a deep look at Ji Tianxing, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What was the result?"
Ji Tianxing smiled slightly, stretched out a finger, and said: "Sheng Tianzi, fly through the air!"
"Breaking through the sky...and leaving?" The expression of the ancestor of the Xiao family changed, his eyes were filled with light, and he asked in a voiceless voice: "Is that person the Supreme Primordial Spirit?"
Ji Tianxing nodded and said in a solemn tone: "That senior watched the sky and read the world, played with the sky for eight thousand years, went through nine catastrophes, and finally broke through the void and went to another continent."
"Another continent?" The ancestor of the Xiao family suddenly changed his expression and stood up suddenly.
He was so excited that the white beard on his chin was trembling. He grabbed Ji Tianxing's arm with both hands and asked in a voice: "You actually know this? Do you know how to get to that continent?"
Is it true that only by entering that continent can we pry into the secrets of heavenly calamity and sanctification?"
Obviously, the ancestors of the Xiao family knew very little about another continent, but yearned for it very much.
Ji Tianxing shook his head gently and said in a calm tone: "This junior has only entered the Soul Refining Realm not long ago, and has only recently heard the news about another continent, so he knows very little about it.
How could this junior know the way to that continent?"
The ancestor of the Xiao family nodded slightly, then calmed down and sat back on the stone bench again.
He looked at Ji Tianxing expressionlessly and asked in a deep voice: "Are you the Ji Tianxing mentioned in Xiao Han's letter?"
"Yes, it's this junior." Ji Tianxing replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
The ancestor of the Xiao family said calmly: "No matter how famous you are in Zhongzhou Continent, these have nothing to do with me. The Xiao family has never interfered in the common affairs of the mainland.
I have previously ordered Xiao Han to bring you to see you after the Holy Fire Festival.
You came uninvited and broke into my cave, aren't you afraid that I will punish you?"
Ji Tianxing saw that he was showing signs of anger, so he was not worried and said with a smile: "Senior, please don't get angry yet. Please listen to this junior tell a story.
Thousands of years ago, the Ancient Demon Emperor wreaked havoc across the world, invaded the Zhongzhou Continent, and brutally massacred tens of millions of human beings.
At that time, a peerless genius appeared in the human race. He defeated an army of millions of demons with a single sword, and even killed the Ancient Demon Emperor with one sword, sealing him in the Tianchen Domain.
A few years later, the demon clan's rebellion was put down, and this peerless genius became recognized as the strongest man in the mainland.
With just one sword, he can cut through all the laws in the world and annihilate all powerful enemies!
Everyone in the world calls him the Sword God!"
Upon hearing this, the expression of the ancestor of the Xiao family changed drastically, his deep eyes were filled with light, and his eyes became extremely solemn.
Ji Tianxing continued: "Everyone in the world thinks that the sword god has eyes higher than the sky, is cold and ruthless, and will never accept a disciple in his life.
But few people know that although the Sword God does not accept disciples, he has mentored several young heroes and taught four young geniuses.
Among these four people, one happened to be named Xiao!
Senior, do you think this is a coincidence?"
After saying that, he looked at the ancestor of the Xiao family with a smile.
The ancestor of the Xiao family frowned, his whole body shrouded in a layer of chill, and the majestic power of the soul was accumulated in his body.
He stared at Ji Tianxing warily, and asked in a cold voice: "Boy, who are you? How do you know this secret?"
Ji Tianxing looked directly at him with open eyes and said righteously: "The successor of the Sword God."
"Hahahaha..." The ancestor of the Xiao family suddenly threw his head back and laughed, his whole body bursting with surging anger, and his momentum skyrocketed.
"Absurd! The Sword God died a thousand years ago, how old are you?
You dare to tease me like this, are you not afraid that I will break your neck?"
Before Ji Tianxing could speak, the vicissitudes of Zangtian's voice could be heard from the broken sword.
"Second fool, we haven't seen each other for a thousand years, why are you still so dumbfounded?"
