Chapter 401: Six-Star Grand Mage

 

The gray stone that was originally placed on the ground had now become crystal clear and transparent, floating in the air, emitting an eerie purple light.

The purple light’s range continued to expand, quickly enveloping an area of several hundred meters.

Jiang Dao opened his eyes, looking at the divine stone before him, bathing in the purple light.

A sense of familiarity arose.

He seemed to return to the Purple Flame Palace of years past!

“The thousands of years of heritage of our Purple Flame Palace! Come back!” Jiang Dao spread his arms, his face showing wild joy.

The mission entrusted to him by the Supreme Elder, he had completed it!

This revival plan spanning thousands of years had finally been realized!

He had not failed the Supreme Elder’s expectations!

As the divine stone gradually activated, Jiang Dao could finally sense other disciples who, like him, had possessed other people’s bodies!

There were seven auras in total!

“Seven auras…” Jiang Dao recalled carefully, his brow suddenly furrowing.

He remembered that the Supreme Elder had originally found ten disciples to perform the soul sealing.

In other words, the auras Jiang Dao should be able to sense should be nine!

Why were two missing?

Jiang Dao frowned deeply, closed his eyes, and sensed carefully.

There were still only seven auras!

Jiang Dao’s face darkened.

For this situation, there was only one explanation.

That was that the souls of these two people had completely dissipated.

Was it due to an accident during their slumber, or were they killed by others after awakening?

The second possibility was low.

After awakening, Jiang Dao discovered that the era he was in now was a declining age with scarce spiritual energy.

Today’s martial arts world, compared to the cultivation world of the past, was far inferior in both overall strength and foundation.

Someone like Jiang Dao, a top disciple from a first-class sect, had talent that steadily crushed all others.

After possessing this body, it took him less than half a year to break through from the Qi Condensation stage to the Foundation Building stage, and then less than a year to successfully break through to the Yuan Ying stage.

He was confident that, although only at the Yuan Ying stage, he already possessed enough strength to dominate today’s martial arts world!

Though his fellow disciples’ talents weren’t as good as his, they wouldn’t be too far behind!

All ten disciples were elites chosen by the Supreme Elder!

If they awakened in this era, each would be a dragon among men, how could they die at the hands of others!?

Jiang Dao frowned deeply, shook his head, and didn’t think further.

Currently, he needed to contact the other seven disciples.

The revival of the Purple Flame Palace wasn’t just about the revival of heritage, but also required human support!

He and the other seven disciples would become the founders of this generation’s Purple Flame Palace!

Jiang Dao closed his eyes, trying to contact the other seven disciples using his soul power.

After about ten seconds, he finally got a response!

“Senior Brother!”

“Senior Brother, is that you?”

“Senior Brother…”

After many years, hearing the voices of these junior brothers and sisters again, a smile appeared on Jiang Dao’s face, growing increasingly radiant until he laughed loudly to the sky!

…

When Fang Yu woke up, it was already 7:20 PM.

He walked out to the living room, raising his eyebrows slightly.

The entire living room had been cleaned spotlessly, and some items that Fang Yu had casually placed were all returned to their original positions.

Everything was very neat and tidy.

Ye Shengxue was gone, apparently having left after finishing the cleaning.

Fang Yu turned on the living room lights, walked to the balcony, looked at the night view outside, and frowned.

While sleeping in the afternoon, he had a dream.

In the dream, Fang Yu returned to the heyday of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

At that time, his master and senior brother had not yet ascended and left, and the entire sect was harmonious, everything was so beautiful.

For normal people, dreaming is normal.

But for Fang Yu, having dreams while sleeping was quite a rare occurrence.

The last time Fang Yu had a dream was probably hundreds of years ago.

“Heavenly Dao Sect…” Fang Yu looked up at the stars in the night sky, his eyes flickering.

His intuition told him that something must have happened.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t suddenly have such a dream.

After standing on the balcony for a while, Fang Yu turned back to the living room, walked to the refrigerator, wanting to get some food to satisfy his hunger.

As soon as he opened the refrigerator, he found there was nothing inside.

Fang Yu frowned.

This wasn’t his usual lifestyle.

After leaving Wang Yan and Yu Yueyue, at least in terms of food, the standard had dropped significantly.

Most of the time, Fang Yu had been eating convenience foods, which didn’t taste great.

It was also because after coming to Nandu, things had become busier, leaving Fang Yu no time to cook for himself.

This couldn’t continue.

He needed to return to his old ways and find a place to build a vegetable garden.

Having made up his mind, Fang Yu prepared to go downstairs to find something to eat.

But as soon as he pushed open the door, he frowned.

He walked out the door, looking ahead.

Ahead was a corridor, with the elevator entrance directly opposite.

At this moment, there was no one else in the corridor.

“For you people, is invisibility really something worth showing off?” Fang Yu said with slight mockery.

As soon as Fang Yu’s voice came out, the air in the corridor suddenly rippled.

Then, two people appeared from within.

One of them Fang Yu had just met this morning, the four-star mage from the Order, Zhier.

The other person wore a blue robe, had an elderly face, and a pair of particularly eye-catching cyan eyes.

“I told you, you Order people don’t need to keep watching me, it’s unnecessary,” Fang Yu said impatiently.

Zhier glanced at the old man beside her, with slight hesitation in her big eyes.

“Fang Yu, we’re here to ask you about a few things, with absolutely no ill intentions, you can rest assured,” the old man said with a kind smile.

“What questions?” Fang Yu frowned.

“Let’s talk inside first,” the old man said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene around Fang Yu changed.

In the blink of an eye, Fang Yu was sitting on the sofa in the living room.

And Zhier and the old man were sitting opposite Fang Yu.

Spatial transfer.

This old man before him clearly had some research into spatial laws.

However, Fang Yu wasn’t surprised.

“This is my mentor, Mr. Mo Xiu, a six-star Grand Mage,” Zhier introduced, with a hint of pride in her eyes.

Her mentor not only held an extremely high position within the Order organization but was also a master-level figure in the entire mage world of the Nine Provinces.

Just that spatial transfer move he did, fewer than three people in the entire Nine Provinces could perform it.

“If you have questions, ask quickly. I’m hungry and need to go out to eat,” Fang Yu said, completely disregarding the other’s identity.

“Why go out when you want to be full?” Mo Xiu waved his hand forward.

On the coffee table, a plate of steak immediately appeared, freshly cooked and still steaming.

“I don’t really like Western food, I prefer Chinese cuisine,” Fang Yu said.

Mo Xiu smiled slightly and waved his hand again.

On the coffee table, four dishes and a soup immediately appeared.

Braised ribs, fish-flavored shredded pork, kung pao chicken…

And a bowl of rice placed in front of Fang Yu.

“You’ve paid for all this, right?” Fang Yu glanced at Mo Xiu and asked.

“Of course, help yourself,” Mo Xiu said.

Fang Yu didn’t hesitate at all, grabbed the chopsticks, and immediately started eating.

He was indeed a bit hungry.

Seeing Fang Yu eating without hesitation, Zhier frowned.

After witnessing Fang Yu’s strength, she had thought he was one of those legendary otherworldly masters, arrogant and cold…

But seeing him now, she discovered that Fang Yu was just an ordinary person, even more ordinary than most!

The renowned master of the mage world was sitting in front of him, yet he was wolfing down food!?

This was too disrespectful!

Instantly, Zhier’s good impression of Fang Yu dropped to freezing point.

However, since even her mentor hadn’t said anything, she naturally wouldn’t speak up either.

“Ask whatever questions you have, I’ll eat while we talk,” Fang Yu said.

Mo Xiu chuckled, paused, and then said, “I’m sure you still remember clearly what happened this morning.”

“I want to know, what did you encounter at the bottom of the lake?”

“Encounter? I didn’t encounter anything, just went down for a swim,” Fang Yu answered.

Mo Xiu shook his head and said, “There’s no need to lie, I know you very well… or rather, our entire Order organization knows you very well.”

“To be frank, you’ve been our Order’s number one investigation subject for the past two months.”

“I know, and since you’ve investigated me so thoroughly, you should be very clear that I’m just a good citizen,” Fang Yu said.

Mo Xiu didn’t want to extend on this topic and said, “What kind of substance was that drop of black liquid that killed Wu Neng?”

“I’m not sure either, but I can confirm it’s not a substance, but a life form,” Fang Yu answered.

“Life form…” Mo Xiu frowned deeply, pondering.

With his experience, he had never heard of such a life form existing in the world.

“Besides that, what else do you know? I heard from Zhier that after the drop of liquid took over Wu Neng’s body, it seemed extremely panicked upon seeing you and wanted to escape… presumably, you had already encountered it at the bottom of the lake.”

“Why would this kind of liquid appear at the bottom of the lake? What is its purpose? And why did you jump into the lake?” Mo Xiu asked.

“I don’t know,” Fang Yu answered casually.

“You!” Zhier couldn’t help but speak up when she saw Fang Yu’s casual attitude.

“Fang Yu, I know you might not like my questioning approach. But I must know the answers. The ability of this liquid is so powerful that if it appears on a large scale in the world, it will inevitably cause massive casualties… if it controls important figures in certain fields, the consequences would be unimaginable,” Mo Xiu said with a grave expression.

“Don’t worry, if this liquid really acted freely, it would have done so long ago. Besides, at the bottom of the lake, I’ve already completely eliminated that large mass of liquid. The one that killed Wu Neng was probably just one that slipped through,” Fang Yu said, putting down his bowl and chopsticks.

“A large mass? How large!?” Mo Xiu asked.

“About the size of a person around two meters tall,” Fang Yu said.

Hearing this, Mo Xiu’s expression slightly changed.

Beside him, Zhier showed a shocked expression.

Such a small drop of liquid could kill Wu Neng and easily defeat her.

How did Fang Yu manage to eliminate such a large mass of liquid?

It was unimaginable!
