Facing Ji Tianxing's request, the ancestor of the Xiao family quickly stretched out his hands to help him up.
"Tian Xing, please get up quickly!"
However, Ji Tianxing insisted on saluting and said with a sincere expression: "Senior, back then the Sword God had a deep hatred against the demons. Now I have inherited the Sword God's bloodline and unique skills, and also inherited his legacy.
The demons and I are at odds with each other and have a sworn hatred!
Not only do I want to protect myself, my relatives and my friends, but I also want to kill all the demons in the world and bring peace to all the tribes in the mainland.
I can never do it on my own, so I have to ask my seniors to help me complete this great task!"
The ancestor of the Xiao family nodded solemnly and said in a leisurely tone: "Thousands of years ago, I created the Xiao clan. In order to keep the Xiao clan alive and prevent it from quickly declining and perishing, I chose to live in seclusion here and asked the children of the Xiao clan to
Do not interfere in the common affairs of various ethnic groups in the mainland.
Originally, the demon clan was running rampant on the mainland and attacking the territories of various clans. These had nothing to do with the Xiao clan.
But since you are the descendant of my mentor, have astonishing qualifications, and have inherited his last wish, I will certainly not refuse you.
I promise you that I will personally assist you when you need help!"
Seeing that he finally nodded in agreement, Ji Tianxing breathed a sigh of relief and quickly saluted and thanked him, "Thank you, senior!"
The ancestor of the Xiao family showed a smile, nodded and said: "You don't have to thank me, maybe we can help each other in this matter.
I have been living in seclusion here for thousands of years, and finally I am waiting for you!
In the future, whether I can make further progress, break through to the Yuanshen realm, and whether I can leave this continent all depends on you!"
As he spoke, he took out two dark blue jade slips from the space ring and handed them to Ji Tianxing.
"Tian Xing, here are two jade slips for communication. When you need help in the future, just send me a message and I will definitely help you with all my strength!"
After receiving the promise from the ancestor of the Xiao family, Ji Tianxing was satisfied and quickly accepted the two jade slips.
Then, he sat opposite the Xiao family ancestor under the green maple tree and started talking.
The ancestor of the Xiao family looked at Ji Tianxing with interest and asked doubtfully: "Tianxing, I have been living here in seclusion and have not been interested in world affairs for hundreds of years.
I am very confused, how do you know that I have been taught by my mentor, the Sword God?"
Ji Tianxing showed a smile and explained: "This matter is interesting to talk about. I only concluded this through a treasure box from a thousand years ago.
A few months ago, the third prince of the Human Race Imperial Court held a birthday banquet at his residence and invited Xiao Han and me to the banquet.
I was present in person, but Xiao Han didn’t go. He just took out a treasure box as a gift..."
He told the Xiao family ancestor what happened.
After hearing this, the ancestor of the Xiao family realized how twists and turns the matter was. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head and said, "Oh! This is really... a coincidence!
When I traveled to the mainland, by chance, I got a top-notch weapon refining material, star sand, so I put it in a treasure box and sealed it with the formation taught by my mentor.
I originally wanted to treasure this thing and then take it out for use when I need to refine the magic weapon.
Unexpectedly, hundreds of years have passed, but I have still been unable to break through the shackles. I have been unable to reach the realm of Yuanshen, let alone refine artifacts.
The star sand stayed there for hundreds of years, and then I forgot about it.
I can’t remember exactly when I gave the star sand to my children and grandchildren, but I didn’t expect that it would eventually escape and be met by you..."
Speaking of the origin of the star sand, the ancestor of the Xiao family was full of sighs and emotions.
Ji Tianxing chuckled and said: "Senior, maybe this is the magic of fate! If it weren't for that star sand, how could I have guessed your identity and how could I have found you?"
"Well, that's true!" The ancestor of the Xiao family nodded slightly and agreed.
The two chatted for a while, and then Ji Tianxing stood up, saluted, and left.
After bidding farewell to the ancestor of the Xiao family, he left Tianzhu Mountain, flew across the sky at lightning speed, and returned to Tingfeng Garden.
While on the road, he couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart, and sent a message to Zangtian to ask: "Zangtian, why do you call the ancestor of the Xiao family Erlunzi? Is this his nickname?"
"That's right." Zangtian responded, and said with a somewhat playful tone: "Although this guy is now the top powerhouse on the mainland, the ancestor of the Xiao family who is rarely seen by ordinary people.
But when he was young, he was single-minded and did things very stupidly, so I always called him a stupid person."
Ji Tianxing nodded and asked: "Before, you asked him if he had ever gone to heaven. What did you mean?"
Zangtian said in a more playful tone: "This kid's real name is Xiao Wentian. He was a martial arts fanatic when he was young. He practiced like a madman, tireless and unaware of pain.
He once said that his biggest dream is to climb to the sky, explore the stars outside, and travel across the stars.
At that time, besides practicing hard on the sword, the most common thing he did was to stick on the roof like a piece of wood and look up at the sky."
Hearing this, the corresponding picture immediately appeared in Ji Tianxing's mind, and he couldn't help laughing.
Zangtian continued: "Later, he reached the Tianyuan realm and was finally able to control the air and fly. He couldn't wait to fly high into the sky, pass through the sea of clouds, and want to fly to the sky."
Ji Tianxing became interested and couldn't help but ask: "What about the result?"
"Do you still need to guess the result? Before he even touched the Gangfeng layer in the sky, his true energy was exhausted. He fell down and almost died..."
"Haha..." Ji Tianxing couldn't help laughing and said in a teasing tone: "It's hard to imagine that he had such a ridiculous experience when he was young.
No wonder your old face turns red with embarrassment when you ask him if he has been to heaven."
Zang Tian told a few more past events about Xiao Wentian, which made Ji Tianxing laugh and laugh all the way back to Tingfeng Garden.
He finally understood. No wonder Zang Tian gave Xiao Wentian the nickname Erluozi.
When he returned to Tingfeng Garden, it was already afternoon.
Xiao Ling'er followed his advice, prepared for the assessment of the Holy Fire Festival, and went to practice with peace of mind.
He went back to the room to rest for a while, and then saw Xiao Han coming back with a tired face.
So, he said hello to Xiao Han, "Master General, why do you look so bad?"
Xiao Han nodded in return and explained: "I just helped Third Uncle refine the magic weapon, which cost a lot of mana, but I can just rest for a night."
Ji Tianxing thought about it for a moment before speaking: "Master Divine General, I have just met the ancestor of the Xiao family. My purpose of coming to the Xiao family has been achieved, and I am ready to leave..."
"Ah?" Xiao Han was startled for a moment, and said with a look of astonishment on his face: "Where did you see the ancestor? The ancestor didn't blame you, did he?"
Ji Tianxing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Of course not. I had a great conversation with him, and he agreed to my request."
