Qilian Mountains.

After Chen Yu obtained the spiritual artifact, she couldn’t wait to take the plane back to the capital. Elder Wu, on the other hand, did not leave with her because he wanted to clean up the aftermath for the Profound Spirit Grand Competition.

In fact, the so-called clean up was just a casual excuse. He didn’t leave with Chen Yu, because he still had some questions that needed answers.

At this minute, he was standing at the top of the Qilian Mountain, in the stone chamber where the spiritual artifact was stored. He was staring at the lifelike murals on the walls in a daze.

Every movement of the Celestial Masters on the murals was unique to the Luoshan Sect in terms of exercising ghosts. There were also several that even he had never seen before. Elder Wu did not tell Chen Yu the historical development of the Luoshan Sect in detail. His own understanding of the sect was also mostly derived from the simple notes left by previous sect masters in their sect journals.

From the journal written by the 6th generation sect master, Elder Wu learned that due to chaos brought about by war for years, resentment in the world remained constant. Many generals who died in the war transformed into zombies after death. In order to help the world and save the people, disciples of Luoshan Sect went down the mountain to exorcize ghosts. This resulted in a lot of casualties.

From the journal of the 10th generation sect master, Elder Wu learned that, because of the diminishing number of talents, the Luoshan Sect gradually lost its former glory. The vast Qilian Mountain range was emptied, so the subsequent sect masters withdrew from the mountain range and only occasionally returned to pay respect to their ancestors.

From the journal of the16th generation sect master, Elder Wu learned that because there were fewer and fewer heirs of the Luoshan Sect, the system of the school gradually became useless. Most of the descendants did things according to their own wishes, but there was only one thing that all Luoshan Sect disciples must not forget. That was to open the magical barrier every decade and use magic artifacts as a guide, so that the world’s Metaphysics masters would gather in the Qilian Mountains.

For this odd tradition, Chen Yu once asked Elder Wu why. He didn’t give an answer, because even he himself didn’t understand.

He couldn’t figure out why all sect masters of the Luoshan Sect in previous generations were lazy. They had been sect masters for decades, but they usually summed up their lives in but a few words. Therefore, many traditions of the Luoshan Sect were known but their causes were unknown. Nonetheless, the tradition of holding the Profound Spirit Grand Competition every ten years was written in the journal of every sect master.

And now, Elder Wu stood inside this stone chamber in a trance and felt that perhaps this tradition that had kept the Luoshan Sect going for hundreds of years was for this stone chamber, and the Profound Fiend Purification Technique inside it.

Or maybe it was because of Lou Ming.

The six spiritual artifacts needed to purify his evil spirit were placed in the sect’s premises, and even more coincidentally, the Profound Fiend Purification and Destruction Technique was also stored here at the same time.

There’s Shishi, too. Why does she have a special physique that’s totally unaffected by his evil qi? And why does she also bear memories after her reincarnation?

How annoying!

Elder Wu frowned in annoyance. Since this morning, from the time he saw the Profound Fiend Purification and Destruction Technique brought to him by Chen Yu, he suddenly had a sense of foreboding. A certain memory that he had deliberately forgotten also always popped up from time to time.

The Profound Fiend Purification and Destruction Technique; why did this kind of magic skill specially used to deal with drought demons pop up at this time? What exactly did this have to do with Lou Ming, Shishi, and the Luoshan Sect?

Elder Wu mulled over it for a long time, but still couldn’t figure it out. The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became, and the more he speculated, the worse his premonition became.

Elder Wu was quite annoyed with this premonition.

Even an ordinary person might encounter bad luck when feeling a foreboding, not to mention a Metaphysics disciple like Elder Wu.

Throughout his life, ominous premonitions occurred to him a total of three times.

The first time this premonition appeared was fifty years ago. His master, the previous sect master of Luoshan Sect, that dead old geezer he loved and hated really became a dead old geezer that year.

The second time this premonition appeared was twenty years ago, the year he withdrew from the Jianghu and lived in seclusion in Damu Village.

The third time was today.
