Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Absorbing Ancestral Power Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Absorbing Ancestral Power Murong Tian’s appearance shocked Duan Tian Hun and the others.

Especially since Murong Tian’s cultivation was not the strongest in Tai Xu Sect—unlike Murong Tianlie—it was Murong Tian, who had reached the Fourth Layer of the Tianyuan Realm.

“Bury the bones of our soldiers,” Feng Wuchen said.

“Grand Commander, Murong Tian must have come seeking revenge for Murong Tianlie. With such a terrifying level of cultivation, his strength is probably no less than yours,” Ye Cangqiong said gravely.

“His strength is indeed not inferior to mine, and is actually much stronger than me,” Feng Wuchen agreed without denying.

“Can he possibly absorb the flesh and blood of so many soldiers? Even if he uses it for cultivation, can his body withstand it?” Duan Tian Hun frowned doubtfully, still finding it hard to believe despite suspecting Murong Tian’s involvement.

“Cultivating by absorbing flesh and blood?” The thought alone horrified the soldiers.

“I don’t know, perhaps he has some method,” Feng Wuchen said, frowning deeply, “Fortunately, he only acts against the dead. If he targeted the living, I dread to think how many would die by his hand.”

“This man must not be spared!” Yang Tianxian said venomously.

“Murong Tian’s strength is formidable. We must be cautious of him at all times and find a way to eliminate him!” Situ Zhentian agreed with Yang Tianxian’s statement.

“Let’s set aside Murong Tian’s matter for now. I have more important things to deal with. He hasn’t come after me, and I do not wish to waste my time on him,” Feng Wuchen shook his head. Although Murong Tian was powerful, Feng Wuchen was not weak either.

With that said, he turned his gaze to Duan Tian Hun and asked, “Emperor, how much do you know about Jiuzhou?”

“Jiuzhou?” Duan Tian Hun looked at Feng Wuchen in astonishment, not understanding why Feng Wuchen would ask such a question, then said, “Jiuzhou has five major forces, each possessing the terrifying power to annihilate our four Great Empires. These forces include the Xiao Family, Nangong Clan, Zangling Valley, Xiewang Sect, and Fenglan Sect. It is said that the strength of Xiewang Sect is the most formidable.”

“Xiewang Sect?” Feng Wuchen narrowed his eyebrows, and upon hearing this name, his first thought was of Murong Tian.

Murong Tian, shrouded in nefarious energy, was very likely related to Xiewang Sect.

“Feng Wuchen, why have you suddenly taken an interest in Jiuzhou?” Duan Tian Hun asked curiously.

“I have a lead on my father’s whereabouts; he has been captured by a power in Jiuzhou, but I’m not certain which one,” Feng Wuchen said, frowning.

“A power in Jiuzhou?” Duan Tian Hun’s face turned grave, and furrowing his brows deeply, he speculated, “It seems they may also be after the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower.”

Feng Wuchen said, “Indeed, they seek the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower. I have already sent people to investigate in Jiuzhou, and I believe there will be news in the next few days.”

“The strength of Jiuzhou’s forces is beyond our imagination. Whichever it may be, none is a force we can handle,” Yang Tianxian said somberly. He was rather familiar with the power balance in Jiuzhou.

As a Fifth Grade Alchemist, Yang Tianxian was fairly well-known in Jiuzhou; the various forces there offered him considerable respect.

Yet even so, the powers in Jiuzhou still made Yang Tianxian apprehensive, which spoke to their formidable strength.

Duan Tian Hun looked extremely serious and, after a long silence, said, “The allure of the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower is too terrifying. If all the forces in Jiuzhou learn of it, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

The appearance of the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower had already sparked a scramble among the four Great Empires and their major forces. Even emperors coveted it, ultimately leading to war.

One could only imagine how frantic the actions of Jiuzhou’s forces would be if they learned of the existence of the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower.

The existence of Divine Valley had always been kept secret by the four Great Empires. None from the Empires dared to disclose it, fearing a catastrophe.

The presence of Jiuzhou was not something the four Great Empires could confront.

“Regardless, I must rescue my father,” Feng Wuchen declared firmly, his eyes flashing fiercely. He did not care to even hand over the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower if it meant saving his father.

No matter how terrifying the strength of Jiuzhou was, even if it meant entering a dragon’s den or a tiger’s lair, Feng Wuchen would force his way through. He had to rescue Feng Zhengxiong!

Not only did Feng Wuchen plan to rescue Feng Zhengxiong, but if possible, he had no qualms about eradicating the force that had captured him!

This force had threatened the safety of the Feng family. How could Feng Wuchen let them go?

Leaving Yanhuo City, Feng Wuchen hastened back to Unmatched City.

At this moment, Chi Huang and Wuqing were already on their way to Jiuzhou.

The great battle had just ended, Tai Xu Sect had just been destroyed, and the situation had only just settled down when a more terrifying enemy emerged.

…

Tai Xu Sect.

Murong Tian appeared in a flash, his unsettling and sinister aura quickly alarming the steward elder.

“Young Sect Master, how did it go? Did you see Feng Wuchen?” the steward elder approached rapidly, asking eagerly.

Murong Tian said, “Feng Wuchen is indeed strong. His eyes were particularly fearsome, filled with fearlessness. This man is not simple—it’s not surprising that Murong Tianlie would die by his hand.”

Hearing such a high appraisal of Feng Wuchen from Murong Tian, the managing elder asked, “Does the young sect master have the confidence to kill him?”

“He is no match for me. What’s so difficult about killing him? However, I have more important things to do now, so I will let him live a little longer,” Murong Tian said with a cold smile, very confident in his own strength, even to the point of somewhat looking down on Feng Wuchen.

Hearing this, the managing elder was relieved and smiled, “That’s good, that’s good.”

“By the way, what important matter does the young sect master have?” the managing elder asked again, finally coming to his senses.

Murong Tian smiled mysteriously and said, “Managing elder, please help me retrieve the Tai Xu Spirit Stone.”

“Tai Xu Spirit Stone?” The managing elder’s face changed abruptly, and he asked anxiously, “Does the young sect master want to open the Tai Xu barrier? This must not be done! The ancestral spirits must not be disturbed!”

“Murong Tianlie is dead. What I say goes in the Tai Xu Sect. Go get the Tai Xu Spirit Stone now,” Murong Tian’s voice grew colder.

Frightened, the managing elder trembled in fear at the sinister aura, which also made him very afraid.

Murong Tian disappeared in a flash and, when he reappeared, he was standing in front of the gate of an ancient palace on the back hill of the Tai Xu Sect.

The ancient palace before him was filled with the wear and tear of ages. It was unclear how many years it had stood, and it bore the large characters ‘Taixu Pavilion’.

The Taixu Pavilion housed the spiritual tablets of successive sect masters of the Tai Xu Sect. It was a sacred place in the Tai Xu Sect, off-limits to anyone other than the sect master, and was protected by a powerful barrier.

Soon after, the managing elder came with the Tai Xu Spirit Stone in a shaky movement and handed it to Murong Tian.

The Tai Xu Spirit Stone emitted a faint blue glow, a special gemstone used specifically to open the Tai Xu barrier.

“Whoosh!”

With a wave of his hand, Murong Tian sent the Tai Xu Spirit Stone flying out. In the blink of an eye, it entered the barrier on the surface of the Taixu Pavilion, causing a ripple of blue light, and the barrier tore open a gap.

“Wait for me outside, I’ll go in by myself,” Murong Tian instructed as his figure dashed into the barrier and into the Taixu Pavilion.

“What exactly does the young sect master want to do?” The managing elder was extremely anxious, yet dared not stop him.

As Murong Tian entered the Taixu Pavilion, the barrier on the surface had already healed once more.

With a flash, Murong Tian appeared inside the Taixu Pavilion.

The Taixu Pavilion’s divine seats housed a dozen or so spiritual tablets, all belonging to previous sect masters of the Tai Xu Sect.

“To dominate Jiuzhou, the power of our ancestors is indispensable,” Murong Tian thought to himself, a cold smile curling up at the corner of his mouth.

“Ancestors, the Tai Xu Sect is on the verge of destruction. If you cannot bear to see the Tai Xu Sect disappear from the Mainland, then please bestow your strength upon me. I shall protect the Tai Xu Sect,” said Murong Tian, looking at the spiritual tablets with righteous indignation.

As soon as Murong Tian’s words fell, the dozen or so spiritual tablets suddenly radiated colorful lights, and a terrifying and vast power began to permeate the air.

Filled with ecstasy at the formidable power, Murong Tian eagerly extended his hands and activated his True Yuan, frantically absorbing the power of his ancestors.

“Although this power is only around the first layer of the Tianyuan Realm, if I absorb and refine it all, it is enough for me to break through to the fifth layer of the Tianyuan Realm. At that point, dominating Jiuzhou will be within easy reach!” Murong Tian was wildly excited in his heart.

Murong Tian’s purpose in returning this time was not for the Tai Xu Sect but for himself, for the power of the blood essence of his ancestors in the Tai Xu Sect!

In just a few minutes, Murong Tian had absorbed all the power from the dozen spiritual tablets.

“Hmph!” With an arrogant laugh, Murong Tian waved his hand, and the dozen spiritual tablets turned to dust.

“A Feng Wuchen is enough to destroy the Tai Xu Sect. Who would protect such a weak force? Ridiculous. Moreover, I am no longer a person from the Tai Xu Sect, but I should still thank you for your power. I will try my best to kill Feng Wuchen and avenge the Tai Xu Sect,” Murong Tian said with disdainful cold laughter.

Thinking of Feng Wuchen, Murong Tian couldn’t help but remember the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower.

He had never experienced the power of the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower, but after hearing the managing elder speak so mysteriously of it, he was quite eager to try it out.

“Nine Layers Qiankun Tower.” Murong Tian’s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of greed as he coldly smiled, “Since Feng Wuchen possesses such a powerful half-Immortal Artifact, I might as well take it into my own hands, just to be safe.”

With the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower in his possession, even if he faced stronger enemies, the tower’s overbearing suppression power would ensure that Murong Tian remained invincible!

Murong Tian stepped out of the palace, returned the Tai Xu Spirit Stone to the managing elder, and said with a smile, “I have already paid my respects to the ancestors. Managing elder, take good care of the Spirit Stone. I must be going now.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Murong Tian disappeared, not waiting for the managing elder to say anything.

“What’s with the power emanating from the young sect master?” The managing elder was full of doubt and seemed to guess something in a moment, his face suddenly paling.

Trembling with fear, the managing elder said in panic, “Could it be… could it be that the power of the ancestors’ essence blood has all… all been absorbed by the young sect master?”

Having absorbed more than a dozen vast amounts of essence blood power, even with Murong Tian’s cultivation at the fourth layer of the Tianyuan Realm, it was somewhat difficult for him to bear. He needed to find a safe place to refine and absorb it.

“The Demon Luo Technique really suits me! With such a terrifying pace of cultivation, what so-called number one talent is not even worth mentioning in my eyes,” Murong Tian boasted, not taking the geniuses of the world seriously at all.
