NOVPUBChapter 382 -223: Formless Sword Formation, Wife’s Great Grandfather?_2
“Dongfang Jing?”
“What do you mean, are you from the Dongfang Family?”
Upon hearing his words, Gu Changge was completely puzzled.
This Tree Spirit not only knew about the Dongfang Family and the Formless Sword Formation, but also had a name called Dongfang Jing!
How did the Dongfang Family get involved with this Tree Spirit?
But before he could ask for answers to his questions, he saw a figure already frowning and appearing beside him.
“Daoist Fellow Dongfang Jing?”
“You claim to be Dongfang Jing, how can you prove it?”
Sage Jian Chen couldn’t sit still upon hearing the name “Dongfang Jing”.
From ten thousand meters high in the clouds, he teleported instantaneously to the young master’s side, asking in amazement.
He and Dongfang Jing were good friends, but Dongfang Jing had suddenly disappeared a thousand years ago, rumored to have been killed by a Demon Beast outside, although there were also whispers that he was persecuted by the direct lineage of the Great Elder!
To hear his friend’s name today in the No Master Land of Northern Domain was truly astounding for Jian Chen!
“Brother Jian Chen!?”
“Why are you also here!?”
“Me! What more do I need to prove? I’ve brought all of the Dongfang Family’s Spiritual Wine for you to taste before and even stole Ancestor’s Spiritual Wine for you!”
“Brother Jian Chen, is this enough for you to believe?”
The Tree Spirit, seeing who had come, instantly became excited!
Its voice even trembled a bit, but it was clear that it was because of excitement!
Since Daoist Fellow Jian Chen was here, it seemed that it would not have to die today!
It had gambled correctly!
“Do you know this senior?”
Gu Changge looked with a puzzled gaze at Sage Jian Chen beside him.
“Is it really Brother Jing!?”
Upon hearing the other party’s words, Jian Chen felt as if his head had exploded, so shocked that he could not close his mouth.
The two had known each other since the Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm.
At that time, due to the Sect’s martial competition, although Dongfang Jing was the direct lineage of the Dongfang Family, he had also joined the Sword Sect for cultivation, and the two became friends through a fight, both being lovers of wine.
Since then, they had often completed Sect tasks together, and many times Dongfang Jing had given him a lot of help.
After all, Dongfang Jing was of the direct lineage of the Dongfang Family and had more cultivation resources than him.
“Young master… please allow me to pause and deeply inquire…”
Sage Jian Chen bowed to the young master beside him, and in a flash, his figure had landed beside the Tree Spirit.
Gu Changge, too, had not expected such a scenario to unfold.
He silently landed as well.
High above, Gu Haitang looked at Sage Zhao with an inquisitive gaze.
“Well… speaking of which, this Dongfang Jing is actually related by marriage to your Gu Family…”
“He is the great-grandfather of Dongfang Mingyue…”
“But a thousand years ago, he disappeared, and everyone thought he had died.”
Sage Zhao was also shocked for a moment, but then he regained his senses and explained.
However, his knowledge of Dongfang Jing was limited to this.
Any more than this, he did not know, since he had joined the Sword Sect about a hundred years later than Sage Jian Chen.
The reason he knew about these things was that after Dongfang Jing disappeared, the Moon Unification True Monarch Realm Ancestor from his lineage had once caused a huge uproar in the Sword Sect.
Otherwise, he might not even have heard the name Dongfang Jing.
“Hiss…”
“There’s even such a matter?”
Gu Haitang’s eyelids twitched slightly, his face was full of surprise.
However, the two did not hide any longer in the air but, filled with curiosity, appeared beside Gu Changge.
“Who are these two…?”
Dongfang Jing looked at the suddenly appearing two Sage Realm powerhouses, also taken aback.
Fortunately, he hadn’t attacked this young man.
What was this young man’s background anyway?
Owning his self-created Heavenly Rank Sword Formation was one thing, but his power was incredibly formidable; even having lived so long, he had never seen such talent before.
To have as many as three Sage Realm guardians beside him.
Even himself, once hailed as a prodigy who could revitalize the Dongfang Family, had never received such treatment!
“Brother Jing!”
“How did you… how did you end up like this?”
“Also, why did you suddenly disappear back then?”
Sage Jian Chen asked, frowning in puzzlement.
“This…”
“Ah… it’s a long story.”
“It’s as if my life was not meant to end, for at that time, I was in the late stage of the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm.”
“I was already preparing for my Tribulation.”
“I had just heard that the No Master Land beyond the Northern Domain had Thunder Resistance Bamboo that could enhance a cultivator’s chance of surviving the Tribulation.”
“That’s why I hurried to the Northern Domain, but…”
“I was killed with a single strike, even my body directly turned to ashes.”
“My Divine Soul was also supposed to disperse into the heavens and earth, but I was lucky, for there was a Spirit Vein here!”
“I landed on the Spirit Vein, hoping to nourish my Divine Soul… Little did I know that when I woke up, I had turned into this vegetative body!”
The features on the trunk distorted complexly as it spoke, its voice filled with helplessness and at times a touch of fortune.
Despite the great disaster, it had not completely perished.
As for why it had become a vegetative body, it was unclear, possibly during its slumber, it unwittingly attracted a seed.
It was only then that its Divine Soul merged with the tree seed.
But luckily, it had still preserved its life!
“This is truly…”
After hearing its story, Sage Jian Chen was silent for a long time, unable to speak.
His gaze was immensely complicated.
Even the three onlookers were listening in astonishment.
Such an encounter was truly miraculous.
Gu Changge had never imagined that the Eight-grade Heavenly Gate Realm spirit he had desperately sought, worth a million Attribute Points, would turn out to be a member of his wife Dongfang Mingyue’s family.
“Who is this young man?”
“How did he come to know the Sword Array I created back then?”
Dongfang Jing, seeing everyone silent, couldn’t help but look at the young cultivator who had been chasing him.
