NOVPUBChapter 384 -224: A True Immortal Ascension Sect Sage, Let’s Have a Fight!
“Dongfang Jing?”
“Great-grandpa?”
“Northern Domain’s No Master Land?”
Dongfang Mingyue looked at the message on the Communication Jade Token, frowning, somewhat confused for a moment.
She had never seen her great-grandpa.
But the name Dongfang Jing…
That name seemed familiar, she had indeed heard Elder Hongyi mention it.
Originally, her lineage had a prodigy who had achieved the Extreme Spiritual Body, with the hope of constructing an Acquired Dao Body!
And he was also the likeliest contender for the position of Family Head.
But thereafter, there was no news.
Although Dongfang Mingyue was momentarily unable to digest the news,
She knew that this was no trivial matter!
So she left her cave dwelling and went directly to a Spirit Vein location of the Dongfang Family.
That place was where the Ancestor of her lineage was in closed-door cultivation.
As for the authenticity of the message, she had not taken extra steps to verify it, after all, would Gu Changge make jokes with her about such matters?
Even though the time they spent together was short, she knew that he was not that kind of person, besides…
Simply being able to mention Dongfang Jing’s name was enough proof that the news was reliable!
In no time, she had arrived at the Spirit Vein nestled amidst the mountain forest.
The Spirit Fog was so dense within the mountains that even someone in the Sage Realm entering it would temporarily lose their sense of direction and be unable to leave.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Dongfang Mingyue respectfully saluted toward the valley: “Junior Dongfang Mingyue seeks an audience with the Ancestor!”
Following her words, not long after, the pervasive Spirit Fog parted, forming a winding path.
Dongfang Mingyue followed that path, and soon arrived at a valley of clear waters and graceful mountains, where a white-haired old man in simple homespun clothes sat cross-legged on a stone platform.
Although the elder appeared to have gray hair, his back was very straight, and the muscles on his arms were well-defined, suggesting powerful latent strength.
By his side lay a Broken Sword, of indeterminate Grade.
When Dongfang Mingyue approached, she bowed deeply with hands clasped respectfully: “Great Ancestor!”
“Why did you think of seeking this old man out, little girl?”
“Have you encountered any trouble?”
The old man slowly opened his eyes, asking in a gentle voice with a smile.
His tone was amiable,
Yet his aura undoubtedly had reached the Moon Unification True Monarch Realm, making him a top-notch expert even in Central State.
Second only to those Land Immortal Realm old monsters.
Even within the Sword Sect, he held the honorary title of Supreme Elder.
“Great Ancestor… Do you know of Dongfang Jing?”
Dongfang Mingyue tentatively asked.
“Of course.”
“That lad had excellent talent; I once intended to cultivate him to be the Family Head of that generation.”
“Even the Formless Sword Formation you are learning now was created by that lad when he had insights while breaking through the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm.”
“What a pity…”
“It’s my oversight that’s to blame. I didn’t expect him to suffer an accident.”
“Speaking of which…”
“According to the generations, you should be considered his great-granddaughter.”
The elder’s familiarity with this name brought a hint of nostalgia in his gaze.
Mentioning the young man’s talent, his face showed some satisfaction, but as he spoke, it turned into a long sigh.
He blamed himself for being careless at that time; otherwise, the young man might not have had an accident.
The lad was talented; if nothing had happened, by now, he would have probably at least reached the Late Stage of the Sage Realm or even the Perfection of the Sage Realm.
Such a pity!
“He… Great-grandpa might not be dead.”
“That’s not quite right; dead he was, but it seems not completely…”
Dongfang Mingyue said weakly, watching the fifth ancestor’s look of regret.
“Hmm?”
The elder furrowed his brow upon hearing her words, looking at her puzzled.
What does it mean to be dead but not completely dead?
Could it be that a remnant soul lingered in the world? 𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
“That lad’s remnant soul hasn’t been extinguished over all these years?”
“How did you come to know?”
“Do you know who caused his downfall back then?”
Learning that the young man might not be completely dead, even this True Monarch of the Dongfang Family couldn’t help but reach for the Broken Sword beside him.
If only a remnant soul remained, it should have dissipated over a thousand years.
But if for some reason there was a clue left by the perpetrator, he could help enact revenge!
At the very least, the perpetrator must pay with their life.
Over the years, although he did not feel overly guilty about the matter, he still felt he owed the young man!
“Great Ancestor should know, junior has taken a husband in the Northern Domain.”
“The news came from my husband…”
“He said that on the outskirts of the Northern Domain, in No Master Land, they found Great-grandpa…”
“Only his circumstance is rather peculiar.”
“He’s no longer of the Human Clan; transformed into a Demon Beast, rooted in a Spirit Vein, he has sustained his life to this day.”
Dongfang Mingyue explained, looking at the additional information her husband provided on the Communication Jade Token on her way here.
“Transformed into a Demon Beast?”
“Get your young man to give a rough coordinate location. I’ll go take a look myself.”
The elder raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.
But if he truly isn’t dead, no matter if he’s turned into a Demon Beast or a Demon Beast, as long as he retains his memories from the past, he’s still a descendent of his lineage, and he will make sure he returns to the Dongfang Family—no one would dare object!
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Mingyue once again reached out to her husband for the approximate location.
In a short while, she received a reply.
“Great Ancestor, the location is right here…”
Once Dongfang Mingyue finished speaking, the old Ancestor casually grasped the Broken Sword beside him, ready to depart the Dongfang Family and head to the No Master Land outside the Northern Domain.
“Could Great Ancestor take junior along?”
Dongfang Mingyue hastily asked.
