Chapter 5088
"Alas …" Gen Yu sighed and said, "It's only today that junior understands what it means to gladly endure hardships. Previously, when junior was cultivating, there were often things that junior didn't understand. Sometimes, the master who taught me didn't explain it clearly, which made junior feel that the path of cultivation was really difficult. But now, after listening to Daoist's lecture, I feel that the path of cultivation is really bright.
"You think too much!"
Xiao Hua responded and said to Gen Qing, "Martial Uncle, send out the Summoning Talisman. If we delay any longer, there might be other cultivators coming to the Ardent Fire Mountain!"
"Okay!"
Gen Qing glanced at Xiao Hua and knew that he had already discovered other cultivators. She quickly took out the Summoning Talisman and activated it with her magic power. The Summoning Talisman flew into the distant crimson mountain range and disappeared.
Seeing the Summoning Talisman disappear, Gen Qing was about to ask who the other cultivators were when a thought suddenly appeared in his mind. He couldn't help but bite his lips because he already understood that Xiao Hua's appearance wasn't just a coincidence. It might even be … intentional. Xiao Hua wanted to test Chen Yi!
'Alas, this is fate!'
Gen Qing sighed inwardly. 'Chen Yi has been scheming against others all her life, but I didn't expect … that she would fall into someone else's scheme today.
No, it should be said that this is someone else's test. If she was a little bit more sentimental, she wouldn't have ended up in this state. '
Gen Qing, who was easily sentimental, fell into a state of longing again and didn't say anything. In the sky, other than the flying boat, there was only the whistling of the mountain wind.
The mountain peak here was different from other places. Other than the mountain rocks being crimson red, the ground was also crimson red.
On the ground, there was a type of plant that was more than a foot tall. This plant's stem was red, and between the branches and leaves, there was a spiral shape. Layer after layer of light red was stained on the surface like smoke. When the wind blew, the red leaves danced, as if they were covered in flames.
On the mountain peak, there were also tall pine trees. These pine trees were also red. Although the red of the pine trees wasn't as bright as the red of the ground and was somewhat dark, the red was dense like blood. When the mountain wind whistled, the pine trees swayed, and the crimson color danced.
Amidst the crimson color, a fiery-red flying shuttle that could only accommodate one person flew out from the mountain range. When the flying shuttle landed, an Aura Refining disciple jumped down from the shuttle. Looking at everyone, he didn't dare to neglect and bowed respectfully. "Junior is Huo Feng from the Ardent Fire Mountain..
"Get up!"
Gen Qing collected her thoughts and helped Huo Feng up with a smile. "We are disciples of the Imperial Thunder Sect. We rushed here after receiving the Fire Qilin's message. Bring us to him!"
Huo Feng stood up and looked at the crowd. He smiled and said, "Seniors, may I know which one of you is Ancestor Gen?"
"Oh, because my Imperial Thunder Sect has some important matters to attend to, Martial Ancestor Gen can't come personally, so he sent us over!" Xun Shu frowned and answered for Gen Qing.
"Then …" Huo Feng was still unwilling to give up and asked, "Which grandmaster is a Nascent Soul grandmaster?"
"No Nascent Soul Grandmaster from my Imperial Thunder Sect has come!"
Xun Shu was somewhat displeased and said, "If the Fire Qilin doesn't welcome the disciples of the Imperial Lightning Sect, then we will return and report to Ancestor Gen!"
"Senior, please forgive me!"
Huo Feng was sent by the Fire Qilin to welcome them, so he was naturally eloquent. He hurriedly replied, "Junior didn't mean that!
Junior doesn't know if my grandmaster made it clear in the message he sent to Ancestor Gen, but the current situation in the Ardent Fire Mountain is somewhat complicated. If you don't have the strength of a Nascent Soul grandmaster, I'm afraid … I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with it. Moreover, your life might be in danger, so junior asked a few more questions … "
The meaning in Huo Feng's words was very clear. If Xiao Hua wasn't here, Gen Qing might have turned around and left. But at this moment, Gen Qing's expression was calm and she said with a smile, "Huo Feng, don't worry. Bring us to see the Fire Qilin. We definitely won't disappoint him!"
Huo Feng naturally couldn't tell the strength of Xiao Hua, Yuan Ya, Gen Qing and the others, but after hearing Gen Qing's assurance, he was overjoyed. He brought Gen Qing and the others and flew into the depths of the mountain.
"Senior Martial Brother …" Xun Shu couldn't help but ask through voice transmission, "Are there any other cultivators from the other sects coming?" "Are there any other cultivators from the other sects?" Xun Shu didn't know what to say when he saw the blazing hot air in front of him.
Xiao Hua glanced into the distance and revealed a strange expression. He said with a smile, "I don't know many Nascent Soul cultivators, but I'm very familiar with this Nascent Soul cultivator …"
"Who?" Xun Shu was somewhat curious. After all, Xiao Hua was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator before he went missing.
"Meng Country, Changbai Sect, Daoist Jing Ru!" Xiao Hua said word by word.
"Daoist Jing Ru?" Xun Shu was stunned and asked curiously, "He's a cultivator from Meng Country. Why did he come to my Country of Xi?"
"There's no other way!"
Xiao Hua said with a smile, "It seems that there are many Nascent Soul cultivators who received the favor of the Three Elders of the Ardent Fire Mountain. After several hundred years, their descendants can still find Nascent Soul cultivators to help them with their tokens.
It's just that if the Three Elders of the Ardent Fire Mountain were the same person, and now that they're divided into three sects, I don't know who this favor belongs to! "
Xiao Hua's words were naturally sarcastic. Gen Qing and Xun Shu might not know, but Xiao Hua was clear about the eccentric temperament of the Three Nascent Soul cultivators of the Ardent Fire Mountain. The Nascent Soul cultivators they offended definitely exceeded the number of Nascent Soul cultivators who received their favor.
"Yes, it's been more than seven hundred years since the Sword Dao War."
Gen Qing sighed and said, "The Fire Qilin took the token and went to find Martial Ancestor Gen. No wonder Martial Ancestor didn't want to come!
Moreover, the Fire Qilin didn't come personally and only sent Huo Feng over. There's something wrong with that! "
"Oh?"
Xiao Hua was stunned. He thought that Gen Lei Palace really had some urgent matter, but now, it seemed that it was just Gen Qing's excuse.
"Senior Martial Brother …" Xun Shu asked, "How did you know Daoist Jing Ru?"
"How could we know each other?" Xiao Hua smiled bitterly and said, "This guy has enmity with me!"
Soon after, Xiao Hua whispered about the grudge between him and Daoist Jing Ru. Hearing that Daoist Jing Ru, a Nascent Soul cultivator, actually chased after Xiao Hua from Gui He Sea all the way to the Imperial Thunder Sect, Xun Shu and Gen Qing's expressions changed. Xun Shu even said with righteous indignation, "This … is this still a Nascent Soul cultivator?
So shameless? "
"Fortunately …" Xiao Hua smiled and said, "I was lucky enough to escape back to the Imperial Thunder Sect. Since then, I haven't seen this guy again!"
Xun Shu shouted, "Senior Martial Brother, just kill him!"
Gen Qing immediately thought of Chen Yi and said with a bitter smile, "Daoist really came back to the Dawn Rain Continent to settle the karma!"
"Ai, yes, if I don't settle the karma, how can my Dao Heart be clear?"
Xiao Hua said while transforming, "Martial Uncle, if there's anything, just tell Yuanya. Junior will see what Daoist Jing Ru is like now before making a decision!"
Seeing Xiao Hua transforming into an unfamiliar cultivator, Gen Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Alright, I hope this Senior Jing Ru can pass the test!"
"Daoist!"
Sun Qian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "Since you understand karma, are you preparing for … ascension?"
"Oh?" Xiao Hua was surprised. He looked at Sun Qian and said, "You know about ascension?"
Sun Qian's face was a bit red, and she said with a smile, "Junior obtained a broken Jade Slip a long time ago, and there was an introduction about ascension inside!
However, ascension is only a legend, so Junior has long forgotten about it … "
"En!" Xiao Hua nodded and replied, "More or less!"
Xiao Hua's words were really shocking. Previously, Xun Shu inferred with common sense that Xiao Hua was a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator. Later, when she saw how powerful Yuanya was, Xun Shu racked her brains to guess Xiao Hua's cultivation level. Now, when she heard that Xiao Hua was about to ascend, her brain buzzed, as if the whole world was about to collapse or darken. The Immortal Realm was almost ethereal to all the cultivators on the Dawn Rain Continent, but to Xun Shu, it was closer to an ideal. She had never thought that she would be able to face a cultivator who was about to ascend. Moreover, this cultivator had traveled with her and gone through trials and hardships together!
Seeing everyone's astonishment, Xiao Hua said with a smile, "This is the path that all cultivators must take. As long as you all work hard, this day will definitely come."
"Yes, Junior understands!" Facing such a supreme cultivator, Gen Qing didn't dare to be negligent. She bowed and replied, "Understood."
"Ai, another karma settled!"
When Xiao Hua heard how Gen Qing addressed him, he sighed in his heart. He understood that he had one less concern in this world.
While everyone was talking, they arrived in front of another mountain. This mountain was one of the many mountain peaks. Cryptic fluctuations were emitted from it from time to time. Wherever the fluctuations passed, faint flames would appear in the void. When the wind blew, the flames would also appear. Everyone stood in front of the mountain peak as if they were facing a huge bundle of flames!
"Senior, please wait a moment …" Huo Feng stopped and respectfully said, "Junior asks Martial Ancestor to come out and welcome us!"
"Well said!" Gen Qing replied with a smile. With an ascended cultivator overseeing things, she was even more confident.
Huo Feng sent out a Communication Talisman. Not long after, the Fire Qilin flew over with a group of disciples from the Ardent Fire Mountain. Some of these disciples were quite old, some were young, and some were in the Foundation Establishment realm. However, most of them were in the Aura Refining realm.
When the Fire Qilin saw that Sheng Yunzi wasn't among the group of cultivators, he was obviously disappointed. However, this was within his expectations. When he saw Xiao Hua, his face unconsciously became more spirited. He hurriedly bowed respectfully and said, "Junior Fire Qilin greets Senior!
Senior, you seem a bit unfamiliar. How should I address you? "
"This old man's name is Zhang Xiaohua!" Xiao Hua said with a smile. "Just call me Senior Zhang!"
"Yes, yes, junior greets Senior Zhang!" After the Fire Qilin bowed, he greeted everyone.
Xiao Hua paid attention to the Fire Qilin. At this time, the Fire Qilin was already a late stage Gold Core cultivator. Not only was his face old, but there was also a lot of fatigue between his eyebrows. However, the way he greeted people was very different from before. He was no longer straightforward and had added the necessary etiquette!
Although there was a lot of hypocrisy in his etiquette, it could still be considered an improvement.
