In just a mont, they arrived at another gravestone, which bore the na Shi Jing.
"Senior Brother Shi, I hope we didn't disappoint you." Chen Xun bowed respectfully, a slight smile playing on his lips. "When we went to the imperial city back then, we discovered that the royal family had the surna Shi."
Shi Jing indeed had royal blood. The ancient records of the royal family ntioned the legends of superpowers, though they could no longer be verified.
"Moo~" The big black ox lowered softly. Shi Jing's map had greatly helped them, pointing them in the right direction.
"Old Ox, perform the rites. Senior Brother Shi is of royal blood; we can't treat him with just a cultivator's rites." Chen Xun adjusted his attire and brought out his prized possession, the 'King of Instrunts' suona. "Senior Brother Shi's status is even grander than that of a high official."
"Moo~"
The big black ox shrank back, ancient fears welling up inside it, like sitting in a prison cell! It hastily brought out its special bells, attaching them to itself.
"Play the music, begin~"
Chen Xun took it very seriously, playing the suona. The mournful yet lodious tune brought him back to his eting with Liu Yuan.
_Jingle, jingle_
The big black ox swung its bells in rhythm with Chen Xun's music, putting in a great deal of effort. It was rare for Chen Xun to play the suona, a skill he was quite proud of.
"Liu Yuan, Shi Jing, farewell."
Chen Xun looked up at the sky, silently wishing that if there were reincarnation, they could stay together forever, never to be separated by life and death again.
After another half an hour, they visited Senior Brother Le Feng, whom they considered a true master.
Lastly, they ca across a tombstone that read 'Chen Xun,' which startled the big black ox, causing it to break out in goosebumps.
But Chen Xun rely smiled, looking at it for a long ti, saying it was fine and not doing anything extra.
A mountain breeze blew past, and the two figures completely vanished from Xianyin Mountain, disappearing like smoke, leaving no trace.
In the ancestral hall of the Five Elents Sect, the plaques of various elders were enshrined. The guarding elder outside was trembling. Two powerful figures, dressed like bandits, were burning incense inside.
He had been warned by the sect master not to disturb these two seniors, who ant no harm and might be ancient ancestors of the Five Elents Sect.
He couldn't help but complain inwardly. He wouldn't dare disturb them, even with ten tis the courage! His spiritual senses were blocked, and his internal power was suppressed.
He didn't dare to look inside, as everything was completely screened off.
The plaque of Zuo Yiying.
Chen Xun and the big black ox were burning incense with infinite sorrow.
She was a true benefactor in their eyes, and now no one else dared to give them techniques so generously. In the end, it was still the 'elder' sending off the 'younger,' and she had gone first.
"Sister Zuo, although it's impossible for soone with a mixed five-elent root to break through to the Golden Core stage..." Chen Xun burned the incense, his eyes filled with sorrow. "But alas, the heavens did not favor us. In the end, you went ahead."
"Moo~" The big black ox shook its head, burning incense, and let out a snort.
"Old Ox, let's offer so tributes." Chen Xun finished burning the incense and sighed lightly. "Sister Zuo, travel well. But, hey, the spiritual dicine garden is indeed nice."
"Moo~" The big black ox grinned and nodded, taking a tray of Crane Spirit Tree offerings from its storage bag, and placing them there.
They paid their respects to the various elders of the Five Elents Sect and left quietly.
Later, when the guarding elder saw the wooden statue offering in front of Zuo Yiying's plaque, he fell into deep thought. Could it be so hidden legacy?
In the sect master's hall, Ding Qiu was restless, sitting cross-legged in the hall, unable to calm his mind. The passing of Peak Master Liu was a great loss for the Five Elents Sect.
Suddenly, the surrounding candlelight flickered, and a terrifying pressure descended.
Ding Qiu was shocked and quickly stood up, bowing his head. "Two seniors have arrived, forgive for not welcoming you sooner."
Ji Haoxuan had ntioned this matter upon his return, and he could guess that these two might have so connection with the Five Elents Sect.
But as cultivators who had lived for centuries, how could they demand too much, or morally coerce the seniors? They could only let things take their course, doing nothing extra, hoping to gain favor.
"Here are five bottles of mid-grade Five Elents Pills, to be handed over to the sect master." Two shadows appeared in the hall, their eyes wandering around as if they had never seen the inside before. "We hope the sect master will use them wisely."
Ding Qiu's eyes filled with joy, but he still bowed his head, not daring to use his spiritual senses. If he looked up, he would see the two wandering around, touching everything...
"Rember the words of the seniors. I will use them wisely."
"Take good care of Liu Yuan's descendants, sect master."
"Seniors, you are too polite! We have never treated Peak Master Liu unfairly."
Ding Qiu spoke with righteous sincerity. Half of the sect's forces had been mobilized to avenge Liu Yuan; they had no regrets about this matter.
"Very good." Chen Xun's gaze shifted to a statue, feeling an itch to touch it. "If the descendants of Ji Kun and Shi Jing are found, they must not be neglected."
He almost ntioned Le Feng, but then rembered he was an orphan with no descendants or disciples. Ding Qiu's eyes darted around, thinking through his ancestors. He didn't recall anyone nad Ji Kun, though he knew about Shi Jing.
"Senior... may I ask who Ji Kun is?"
"That would be ."
"Ah?!!"
Ding Qiu exclaid in shock, looking up in confusion. What were these two seniors doing? What kind of outfit was this?!
The big black ox was wandering to the edge of the hall, examining the layout, paying no attention to Ding Qiu.
Ding Qiu's eyes widened slightly. Why did they look more like bandits than honorable seniors?
"The sect master seems to be a sensible person, so I won't say much."
With a wave of his hand, Chen Xun sent five bottles of mid-grade Five Elents Pills over. "We'll co back to visit when we have ti."
The big black ox suddenly appeared next to Chen Xun, raising its head high and putting on an air of importance, subconsciously snorting.
Instantly, five bottles of pills appeared in Ding Qiu's hands. He bowed deeply, full of gratitude.
These five bottles of pills were a trendous gift, enough to elevate the Five Elents Sect for a generation. Chen Xun nodded with his hands behind his back. A teachable young one. These five bottles wouldn't bring disaster to the Five Elents Sect, nor would they cause them to beco too arrogant.
He had struck a perfect balance, helping his old ho within his ans.
"Sect master, we are about to travel far and wide. Manage the Five Elents Sect well and give more attention to itinerant cultivators." With those words, the two figures left gracefully, not even revealing their faces.
"Farewell, ancestors!!" Deeply moved, Ding Qiu bowed and shouted, "I will rember your teachings!"
Unconsciously, Ding Qiu had started referring to them as ancestors, subtly strengthening the relationship. For an entire incense stick's ti, Ding Qiu didn't lift his head, still bowing in gratitude.
And the release of Wei Xun must have been the Purple Cloud Sect's consideration for these two ancestors. Truly, heaven blessed the Five Elents Sect.
"Soone! Summon the peak masters!"
Ding Qiu's eyes hardened, releasing his power from the hall. "Convene a sect eting. The burial of Peak Master Liu must be discussed in detail and carried out with the highest honor the Five Elents Sect can offer!"
"Yes, sect master!"
"Yes, sect master!"
Several elders outside responded with bowed heads, suspecting those two ancestors had a connection to Peak Master Liu.
"Also, check the sect records for the lineage of Ancestor Ji Kun!" Ding Qiu rushed out of the hall, stepping into the air. "Whether they are descendants in the mortal world or within the sect, I will personally ntor them! Notify the outer sect's affairs hall to send disciples to retrieve Ancestor Ji Kun's descendants. Even if they have no spiritual roots, they should be brought back to enjoy the sect's offerings."
"Yes, sect master!"
"Yes!"
The entire Five Elents Sect seed to beco busy. Disciples from all peaks were excited, knowing that two ancestors stood behind their sect!
The next day, orders were issued by all peak masters.
"All disciples are to be cautious in their words and actions outside. Do not disgrace the na of Ancestor Ji Kun. Focus on cultivation and strengthen our Five Elents Sect!"
"Dishonoring the Five Elents Sect's na is the sa as dishonoring Ancestor Ji Kun. Such a disciple will have their cultivation abolished and be expelled from the sect!"
This command struck fear into the disciples of the Five Elents Sect, imdiately curbing any arrogance that had been growing, though pride remained in their eyes.
A strong wind of diligent cultivation swept through the Five Elents Sect, even reducing internal strife significantly.
anwhile, various sects in the outside world were on edge. They had heard rumors about the instant killing of three Golden Core cultivators from Tianwu Sect and had thought it an accident.
That Xia Yuan had been a well-known Golden Core cultivator, rumored to be nearing a breakthrough...
The two who acted were actually related to the Five Elents Sect!
So major sects with intentions against the Five Elents Sect quietly withdrew their plans, laughing it off, prioritizing harmony.
Tianwu Sect had already paid dearly for compensation, but upon hearing this news, they were terrified. The sect master personally led a delegation to mourn Liu Yuan, expressing goodwill.
However, the true identities of those two remained a mystery. Even the Top Ten Sects couldn't find any clues, treating the Five Elents Sect with greater respect.
No one had seen their true faces, let alone imprinted their aura with spiritual senses.
