Creak…
The door of the back hall was slowly pushed open.
A ray of sunlight shone from outside the door.
Master Lingkong sat cross-legged on the futon in the center of the back hall, not moving at all.
“Master Lingkong, we haven’t seen each other for 50 years. The two us old men have met again…”
The voice of the Fire Sect Master sounded as if it had fallen into a pool of water, stirring up ripples that reverberated throughout the entire hall.
After hearing his voice, Master Lingkong still did not open his eyes.
The Fire Sect Master was also not in a hurry.
He slowly walked into the back hall and looked at the furnishings in the hall.
It was as if he was sizing up an old place that he had not returned to for many years. His eyes were filled with reminiscence.
In the end, when he walked in front of Master Lingkong, he dusted off his long robe and sat down facing him.
“Spirit Sealing Nail…”
The Fire Sect Master looked at the twelve shocking wounds on the other party’s body and muttered. Then, he laughed,
“Lingkong… This disciple of yours is so ruthless…
“Even if I gave my disciple a hundred guts, he still wouldn’t dare to do this to me!”
The Fire Sect Master said with some pride. His figure was straight.
“But you were able to possess the body of your own disciple… Is this your way of being a master?”
Master Lingkong spoke, but his eyes still remained closed, as if he did not want the Fire Sect Master to dirty his eyes…
“Hahaha, my disciple, I gave him food! I gave him clothes! I gave him the ability to live! I taught him martial arts techniques. Everything about him was given to him by me.
“Then, isn’t it natural for him to leave his body for me to possess?”
The Fire Sect Master said as if it was a matter of course. Then, he looked at Master Lingkong and sneered, “Don’t tell me that I should follow your example and wait for your disciple to kill me?”
Master Lingkong didn’t say anything.
However, the Fire Sect Master quickly thought of Victor in the mystic realm from the words ‘Your disciple’. The smile on his face slowly disappeared.
“However, I’m also very envious of you, Lingkong…
“That guy who has been your personal disciple for less than a month… Victor, he gave me a big surprise.”
The Fire Sect Master said self-deprecatingly.
Hearing this, Master Lingkong’s eyes slowly opened and looked at him. It was as if he was waiting for him to finish.
“A little guy from the foundation establishment realm… A little grasshopper I can crush with one finger…
“However, he has the comprehension ability like a superman.
“In a short night, he comprehended the four great spiritual powers of water, fire, wood, and thunder of the Central Plains.
“I don’t know where he learned my Spirit-Absorbing Grand Magic and the Spirit-Absorbing Spell Formation…
“In the end, he even forced my three junior brothers to give up their blood beads to condense powerful spiritual powers to suppress him…
“I’m really envious of such a disciple…
“Lingkong, if I hadn’t come this time…
“If I let such a disciple secretly study in the Green Dragon Sect for a year, I might not be able to capture the Green Dragon Sword Spirit of your mystic realm in this lifetime…”
The Fire Sect Master said with some lingering fear.
The name Victor… He figured that it would be his nightmare for a long period of time.
Although he was already dead, the Fire Sect Master might never forget this guy for the rest of his life… …
“So, you killed my disciple Victor and Lingxuan… all of them?”
Master Lingkong was silent for a long time, and this was the first time he took the initiative to ask a question.
His tone was very calm, and there was even a hint of indifference.
However, after he finished speaking, he sat quietly without moving his body. But he could not help but tense up, as if he was trying his best to control his emotions…
“If I don’t kill such a guy, aren’t I leaving him for you to take revenge on me in the future?”
The Fire Sect Master said hatefully, “However, Lingkong, you should be happy. Although you have raised a traitor disciple like Wang Shuang, you also have a peerless talent like Victor in your life.
“You shouldn’t have any regrets in your life…
“Oh, right, you may have one more regret…
“The Green Dragon Sect that has shaken the Eastern Plains for more than a thousand years is going to be destroyed by your very own hands…
“Hahahahahahahaha!”
The Fire Sect Master threw his head back and laughed loudly, his face full of ridicule.
Master Lingkong closed his eyes again and fell into silence.
After a long time, he asked again,
“I just don’t understand one thing. Huo Lingzi, why are you brooding over the Green Dragon Sword Spirit of our Green Dragon Sect?
“50 years ago, you came to our sect to borrow the power of the Green Dragon Sword Spirit. I rejected you, and you immediately seized it overnight. I found out about it and you were expelled from Green Dragon Mountain.
“50 years later, you resorted to possessing the body of your junior disciple and came to our Green Dragon Sect to seize the power of the sword spirit…
“This Green Dragon Sword Spirit is a spirit beast that was born in the Heavenly Narcissus Lake. Only by parasitizing it onto an ancient divine weapon can it unleash its greatest spiritual power.
“What use does the people from the Central Plains have for it?”
Master Lingkong was puzzled.
“This question is very simple. I can afford to answer this question first before taking your dog life.”
The Fire Sect Master sneered and then slowly said,
“Since ancient times, the World of Martial Arts has been divided into five plains: the Eastern Plains Plains, the Western Plains, the Central Plains, the Southern Plains, and the Northern Plains.
“However, because of the different regions and the different distribution of spiritual power…
“The cultivation methods of the people of the five plains were all different.”
“The people of the Eastern Plains could cultivate different levels of cultivation methods to increase their cultivation realms. At the same time, they could also cultivate martial techniques to increase their control over spiritual power.
“However, we people of the Central Plains are born with spiritual bodies. We can’t raise our cultivation level through cultivation techniques. We can only train our martial arts techniques over and over again.
“Moreover, as our innate spiritual power has already fixed our body’s attributes, as a fire attribute person, I can only cultivate martial arts techniques of fire spiritual power.
“Therefore, it has always been extremely difficult for us people of the Central Plains to increase our cultivation level.
“It is also because of this that we have traveled to every plain in search of a way to advance our realms.
“60 years ago, after a unique experience, I finally found it.”
When the Fire Sect Master said this, his expression was filled with excitement.
“That is, Devouring!
“I discovered that when we people of the Central Plains directly devour innate spirit beasts, or devour the spirit energy of innate spirit beasts…”
“Our innate spiritual energy could evolve.
“The more spiritual energy we devour, the faster our bodies will evolve.
“And, later on, I discovered that at the border of the Central Plains and your Eastern Plains, there were a total of five spiritual beasts with the most abundant spiritual energy, which were…
“The Green Dragon Sword Spirit of the Green Dragon Sect!
“The White Tiger Sword Spirit of the White Tiger Sect!
“The Black Tortoise Sword Spirit of the Black Tortoise Sect!
“And the Phoenix Dual Sword Spirit of the Phoenix Sect!
“Although these five great spirit beasts have sword spirit bodies, they possess abundant spiritual energy of heaven and Earth.
“55 years ago, by a stroke of luck, I swallowed the Little Phoenix Spirit Beast born from the Phoenix Sword Spirit of the Phoenix Sect.
“In the end, I entered the core formation realm overnight!
“After that night, I knew that if one wanted to increase their realm, swallowing spirit beasts would be a new path of cultivation for the people of the Central Plains
“And among the five great divine beasts, the spiritual energy of the Green Dragon Sword Spirit of your Green Dragon Sect is the most magnificent!
“It is also because of this that I have been coveting the Green Dragon Sword Spirit of your Green Dragon Sect for 50 years!”
When the Fire Sect Master said this, his eyes were filled with excitement. When he turned his head and looked at Master Lingkong again, he couldn’t help but lick his lips, and his eyes flickered with greed.
“Of course, I’ve already absorbed all of the spiritual power of the spirit dragon.
“Next is your spiritual power, Lingkong!
“With my Spirit-Absorbing Grand Magic, your spiritual power is also an excellent tonic for me to advance to the next realm…”
