Chapter 256 - Complicated and Confusing

Within a few breaths, three figures appeared in front of the bed, two men and one woman, all with excitement in their eyes.

“Congratulations, milord, you have improved by one level!” When the three men bowed, the youth came down from the bed and made a “go away” gesture.

“Leave now. I am still running the Cultivation Method and need to have a closed door meditation for a few more days. We will meet when I finish the meditation!” The young man waved his hand and turned away.

The three people behind him bowed respectfully, before exiting quietly.

The young man saw their natural gestures, and had doubts in his heart, but what he mostly felt was loss…

Half a month later, a grand ceremony took place in Icy Peak. The purpose of the celebration was to congratulate Ancestor Man’s accomplishment in his Cultivation Method and his appearance!

After the celebration, Ancestor Man kept a low-profile. Even the girl whom he regarded as a sister, only caught glimpses of him during those few days.

About a month later, Ancestor Man suddenly disappeared from Icy Peak, and caused a great commotion. They found no clues or traces, even though many people searched everywhere for him.

At this time, in a quiet lake, a young man sat cross-legged at the bottom of the lake. His eyes were closed. Sometimes, he frowned, and sometimes he smiled. Although he exuded no aura, deep inside him, all his auras were surging!

Although the young man had admitted to being Ancestor Man, in the dead of night, a warm aura would emerge for no reason. It would gradually turn into a beautiful woman dressed in a green robe, who would smile at him and say, “Don’t forget Ying’er!”

As the frequency of this matter increased, the young man would go into the state of meditation unknowingly. The scenes he went through as Lyu Liang would reappear in the depths of his memory. That was his root cause to live a secluded life.

Half a year later, the young man at the bottom of the lake opened his eyes suddenly, and at the same time, he had a relaxed smile on his face, and he muttered to himself, “I’m still me!” “Thank you, Ying’er!”

…

In the Icy Peak of Nether Big World, three Ancestors of Icy Peak stood outside a cave residence. They seemed to be waiting for something, and had been waiting for half a year already.

During this period, a lot of people came out of the cave residence, one after another. All of them were the winners of Icy Peak’s bloody trials. Up to now, except for Lyu Liang, the remaining eight people had all appeared.

One of them, a black-robed man, was killed by the joint attacks of three Ancestors, when he came out of the cave residence. He was smashed into pieces instantly!

“Over-confident kid from the Heaven Realm! How dare you come to my Icy Peak! “Humph!” Ancestor Ice snorted and waved his hand, and the corpse on the ground disappeared.

“Ugh!” “It’s a pity that he was not used for refining medicine!” “By the way, Junior Sister, that reckless guy under you, why hasn’t he come out now?” “Won’t it be…” treacherous Ancestor Luo Xue with the grey hair, glanced at Ancestor Frost beside him, and then glanced at the cave residence in front of him, “What if!” “I mean, what if!” “If this kid also has problems, then we must leave his body intact!” “He will be the masterpiece used for the refining of pills!”

Ancestor Frost glanced back at him and said with a sneer, “Old jerk!” “If my senior brother had not declined the help you gave him, you would never have the chance to appear in front of us daily!” “Shut up before the result comes out!”

At this time, the door of the cave residence creaked open, and the barbarian walked out, greatly confused. The red-robed woman behind him smiled and nodded.

“Finally!” Ancestor Frost heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed completely. Ancestor Ice’s expression remained unchanged. Ancestor Luo Xue sighed and hugged his head. After a while, his grey hair turned red, and when he looked up, he had a warm look on his face and was smiling.

“Back there… I seem to have had a dream!” “I dreamt of myself becoming Ancestor Man of Icy Peak!” “Who knows what the hell is going on!” “Anyway, I am just Man Zi!” Lyu Liang muttered to express some dissatisfaction. However, that was only to hide his anxiety.

“Okay!” “This is the last and most important test before you officially enter Icy Peak! “Icy Peak will only recruit disciples who have inner peace. Those with ulterior motives will not be able to hide under Junior Brother Chiling’s Devil’s Nightmare!” “In that kind of situation, all your thoughts will be revealed to him, all secrets that had been kept hidden!” “This is also why every time when Icy Peak recruit disciples, Burning Ridge can also take their picks!” Ancestor Frost’s explanation helped Lyu Liang solve the mystery.

It turned out that Ancestor Chiling was the last level of the entry test! Only when one had experienced it, then would he know that it was a much more advanced screening technique than Heaven Peeking Beast’s talent.

With this final review of Lyu Liang, the entire entry test had officially come to an end. The dead man happened to be the other person recruited by Ancestor Frost…

When Lyu Liang walked out of this small peak with the three ancestors, Qin Yun’er rushed over and held Lyu Liang’s arm, and sticking to him, she smiled, “My brother Man!” “I was worried sick about you during this half a year!” “However, it seems that everything went smoothly!” “In future, you will be the patron for us ladies!”

Lyu Liang’s face blushed and he mumbled his replies. His Divine Sense drifted toward the rear and he recalled his conversation with Ancestor Chiling when he had just woken up…

“Awake?” “Don’t ask me what’s going on, go outside, and someone will answer all your questions.” Ancestor Chiling sat on a chair, and beside him was a woman in red, making tea for him.

Lyu Liang got up, and the confusion in his eyes went away. He stared at Ancestor Chiling who was having a leisure moment, then opened his mouth and stuttered, “You…”

“Hush!” “Don’t say anything, and I will know nothing.” “Leave it like this. A friend is better than an enemy. What do you say?” “Xiao Nan, see him off!” Ancestor Chiling waved his hand lazily. After the woman presented him with a cup of fragrant tea, she approached Lyu Liang and made a gesture of ‘please’.

After that, Lyu Liang who was full with doubts, went out with the woman, and then everything happened accordingly.

Still, he had plenty of doubts in his mind, His identity had definitely been discovered by Ancestor Chiling! “But why didn’t he expose him?” After all, in this situation, even if Lyu Liang gave his best, it would be impossible to fight against four Tao Ancestors with such horrifying strength…

One day later, together with the chosen young man of Devil Clan and the woman who served him, Ancestor Chiling left.

Lyu Liang knew that he would not get any answer in such a short time. For now, he could only be more vigilant as a spy in Icy Peak!

…

In contrast to the coldness of Icy Peak, Burning Ridge was located in a series of burning mountains!

In the eastern part where a mountain flashed with black and red lights, was the cave residence of Ancestor Chiling. In addition to the master of the place, there was the woman in red who served him. However, at this time, there were no more smiles on Ancestor Chiling’s face.

“How?” “Milord, is this person helpful to you?” The woman asked, and even though she was smiling, there was a hint of anxiety in her voice.

“I did not expect to meet a person with the awakened divine blood of Donghuang!” “Lyu Liang?” “My unintended journey seems to be destined!” Ancestor Chiling sighed and nodded again, “Xiao Nan, tell the head that I found the person he was looking for. He can advise us of the next step!”

The woman nodded and turned away, but she seemed to be reluctant and bit her lips, “Milord, you… aren’t you afraid of death?”

“Death?” “How should I say it? If the two milords had not saved my life, Ancestor Chiling would not have appeared in this world!” “Oh right, rest assured, I have arranged it for you. When the plan is launched, someone will come and pick you up!” “Go and tell them now, the earlier they know, the earlier they will have peace of mind.” Ancestor Chiling smiled, turned and walked inside.

The woman stared at his back as it disappeared. She turned and left too, but in her heart, she mumbled repeatedly, “Milord, if you must die, I will die ahead of you!”

At this time, Ancestor Chiling was in the space of stars. In front of him was a huge fiery silkworm cocoon that had a vague figure inside.

When the fiery red talisman disappeared into the space, the cocoon’s epidermis began to crack in layers, and then it broke apart in an unstoppable manner. When the figure inside could be seen clearly, it turned out to be a huge firebird, which emitted a dark red fire!

With a long screech, the firebird disappeared and turned into Zhu Yan, who smiled and asked directly, “Have you found my companion?” “Well, let me guess. Looking at the expression on your face, did you come across Lyu Liang?” “Did he enter Icy Peak?”

“You have guessed everything, and I don’t have to say it. That’s right, guess again, why did I call you out?” “Oops, dealing with smart people, saves me a lot of effort!” Ancestor Chiling nodded joyfully.

However, the smile on Zhu Yan’s face disappeared gradually and he said softly, “With such an excellent piece, there is no reason for you to miss it.” “Sorry…if the second generation of the Guardian of Gold does not accept the inheritance, with the power of three Guardians, we might have the hope for a fight…”

Ancestor Chiling waved his hand and said, “Stop!” “You don’t owe me anything!” “I have gained enormous benefits from Tai Chu Ancestor Lord and the Donghuang clan in this life. If I don’t do my part now, I might as well be dead!”

“The girl that followed you did not seem as obedient as when you are around!” Zhu Yan shook his head and changed the topic.

“Who said no?” “Although I have arranged a way for her, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no changes in the end, in terms of her character.” “I have nothing to do with this life, but she is my only worry. It is better to have your protection as the second insurance!” “In case I die someday, you must take care of her!” Ancestor Chiling laughed loudly and then said solemnly, “Lyu Liang has delayed much of my time, and I missed the chance to find the others that came with you.”

“It’s okay, that kid is not someone easy to deal with!” “We have the Guiding Talisman of this world in our bodies, and he can sense it by himself.” “By the way, since you have already reported it, the reply will be back in only a matter of time. I have to make preparations.” “That presence can fight against tens of thousands. If it is resurrected, as Guardians who are suppressed by the Power of Law, we won’t be able to fight against it!” Zhu Yan smiled first, and then his look turned solemn.

At this time, Ancestor Chiling’s eyes brightened and he said, “Our people are on the way!” “The things that are restricted above are not a problem for us!” “Once you find any traces of him, kill it!” “I only hope that his strength will not go to the level that cannot be suppressed by a middle-level world!”

…

At the same time, in the southern part of Nether Big World, next to Magic Forest, a figure emerged. He held a dragon-head knife with a blue handle, which reflected the appearance of a confused-looking young man.

He was Nie Qingyun in his green robe. At this time, his cultivation had soared to the Peak of Tao Master!

“Do you really want to leave?” “I must rush to the east now. If you are not with me, you may get killed!” A white blurred image whispered to him, its tone full of love and care.

“I have no idea about what senior said, why would I get killed or who would kill me?” “I only know that my master is Lyu Liang!” “I am here to complete my master’s wish!” “If you are asking me to give up my intention, because of the probability that I might get killed, I can’t do it!” Nie Qingyun’s tone was firm and undoubtedly determined.

“… In this case, take care of yourself. One day, you will understand everything I said…” The white figure gradually became more distorted, and seemed to disappear at any time.

“Senior, thank you for saving me from the Magic Forest! I have yet to…” Nie Qingyun bowed hurriedly when he saw the figure leaving, and he then shouted, “Back in Chaotic World, were you the one who gave me the opportunity of the ground cave?”

“…Whatever you got belongs to you initially. I look forward to meeting you again. By then, I hope that you are no longer who you are now…” The white figure dissipated completely, leaving only a mysterious and meaningful sentence.

Nie Qingyun shook his head and sighed, and then his look became firm. He clenched his fist and muttered, “Master, I don’t know what the current changes mean, but you will always be the person I will follow in my life!” I swear that even if the world turns upside down and everyone has changed, I will not forget the relationship between us, the master, and the disciple!”

…

In a mortal town at Southern Heaven District of Pangu Origin world, the usually crowded Qiao clinic shut down half a year ago, without any reason. The god doctor, Qiao Banxian, who was admired by countless people, was nowhere to be seen.

In fact, inside Qiao clinic, it had become a ground of stars.

A lanky elderly and a bald elderly stood side by side, and their expressions were solemn. They were God Ancestor Tai Yi and Tai Su Ancestor Lord of the Wu-Ji Five Lords.

In front of them, a man with a mustache, closed his eyes and sat cross legged. He pressed one of his hands on a handsome young man’s head, who was seated in the same position, in front of him. Both of them radiated blazing red lights.

An hour later, with a howl that pierced through the sky, the two God Ancestors who were watching, heaved sighs of relief, at the same time.

The man with a mustache opened his eyes too, and after a sigh of relief, he got up and shouted, “Xiao Ming, let’s go!”

“You don’t have to be so anxious. Now the guardian of fire and the spy we left in Nether Big World have already started to act. You have just completed the inheritance of the guardian of gold, and your Divine Soul must be affected. You…” God Ancestor Tai Yi whispered, but was quickly interrupted by the man with a mustache.

“I understand that time is tight.” “Although I am now Qiao Youliang, everything from the first generation of inheritance has been engraved into my heart.” “If the worst situation occurs, it may not be useful for the three guardians to come together. Therefore, it is better to take advantage of the time now. I will rush there as soon as possible. Anyway, I will have recovered from my injury by the time I get there.” After the man with a mustache solemnly said all this, he smiled suddenly. “I did this because of the mission of the Guardian of Water. However, after the end of this mission, you will give me the deserved remuneration!”

After Qiao Youliang finished talking, the little black monkey appeared on his shoulder. The next moment, they both disappeared.

“This kid… At first, I had some concerns, but it seems that the inheritance of water has found its successor!” God Ancestor Tai Yi nodded with a smile of satisfaction.

Tai Su Ancestor Lord turned his attention to the young man whose eyes were closed still, then he said, “I hope that the second generation of Guardian of Gold would not take too long to complete the final inheritance here.”

Upon hearing that, God Ancestor Tai Yi nodded, “I will stay guard here.” “You should go back first, after all, the situation in the Goddess Nyu Wa space is too complicated.” “By the way, you can go to the Sanctuary and inform Donghuang Zhi. If necessary, we will not spare Donghuang Chongyun anymore!”
