C773 A Shocking Secret
C773 A Shocking Secret
"Let's go and pay our respects to the ancestors of Lia Family." Qin Feng said with a trace of respect in his heart. If the Lia Family was so extraordinary, then their ancestors must be super strong as well.
"Alright." Sky Splitter led the group into the bamboo house and found that it wasn't very big. It was very clean and tidy.
There were two stone statues right above them. One was slightly bigger, while the other was slightly smaller. The smaller one was on the left of the larger one.
"That smaller stone statue is the first patriarch of the Lia Family who brought us here. His name is Lia Tianhu. The bigger stone statue behind us is the first ancestor of Lia Family. His name is the Spatial Splitting Cloud. My name and third brother's name are derived from our ancestor's name. " Lie Kong introduced. From his tone, one could feel a trace of respect and pride.
Hearing this, Qin Feng silently nodded his head. After which, he carefully observed the two stone statues.
These two stone statues were lifelike, as if the two ancestors of Lia Family were standing in front of them.
The slightly smaller stone statue was over five hundred feet tall. It had a well-proportioned body and angular face. It was extremely handsome, but it also emitted a sharp aura.
The slightly larger stone statue was nearly three zhang tall, and it looked somewhat tall and sturdy. It was somewhat similar to Lia Tian's and Lie Kong's figures. However, his face was extremely divine. However, there was a gentleness and tolerance between its brows, as if it could tolerate everything. His facial features were somewhat similar to Lie Kong's.
As Qin Feng was observing the two stone statues, Duan Tianqiu, who was inside the Profound Soul Ring, finally woke up. The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to sense the two stone statues in the outside world. He couldn't help but look at them.
"Eldest senior brother!" Duan Tianqiu could not help but exclaim the moment he saw them. He stared blankly at the slightly larger stone statue. He could not move his gaze away. The corners of his eyes also became somewhat moist.
"Big brother Lie Kong, may I know what kind of Cultivation Level the ancestor of the Lia Family used to possess?" Liu Yu was also among them as he curiously asked.
"It was said that the ancestor, Lie Kong Yun, was a sword immortal, but later on, he left with Master. He was nowhere to be found, and Ancestor Lia Tianhu was said to be a high-level sword saint. Unfortunately, he was unable to break through to the sword saint realm in his lifetime, and eventually passed away in meditation." Sky Splitter spoke frankly and even revealed a strong sense of pride. After all, the strength of these two ancestors was extremely formidable, and they were sufficient to cause the younger generation to look up to and revere them.
"Sword Immortal and Sword Saint!"
Indeed, after hearing his words, Qin Feng and the others exclaimed. After all, the Sovereign Level Expert had disappeared without a trace, and the strongest person was only at the Spirit Sect Lord. As for the Sword Cultivator, they hadn't even discovered a Sword Sect Lord for a long time. This was enough to show how difficult it was to reach the Sovereign Level. The fact that the Lia Family had produced Sword Immortals and Sword Saints was truly shocking.
However, Qin Feng paid more attention to another point. He couldn't help but ask, "Senior Lie Kongyun followed Master and left? He didn't know who Master was? Could he be a sword immortal as well?"
When they heard this, the others looked towards the rift as well, and they seemed to be extremely curious as well.
However, when he heard this question, Lie Kong became silent. It seemed that there was something that was difficult to say.
Qin Feng did not force him upon seeing his appearance. He did not wish to ask any more questions.
However, after hesitating for a moment, Lie Kong smiled and said, "Actually, there is no harm in telling all of you. Although this is a secret of my Lia Family, it is not a secret that cannot be disclosed to others. It can also be considered a pride of my Lia Family!"
"Oh?" Hearing what he said, everyone was filled with curiosity and anticipation.
"The ancestor of Lia Family, Master, who split the sky and clouds, is... Sword Saint Xuanyuan!" Lie Kong said slowly. The last four words seemed to be filled with magic as they were uttered one word at a time. Qin Feng and the others were stunned once again.
"Sword Saint Xuanyuan! How is this possible?" Liu Yu exclaimed.
"That's the truth. There's no need for me to lie to you." Lie Kong said proudly, "Sword Saint Xuanyuan has only accepted seven disciples in his life, and our Lia Family's ancestor is his chief disciple."
"Chief disciple..." Qin Feng murmured. His heart was filled with shock and disbelief.
"Feng, what he said is true. Lie Kongyun is indeed the chief disciple of Sword Saint." Duan Tianqiu's voice suddenly sounded in Qin Feng's mind. It carried a trace of sadness and nostalgia.
"Master! You're awake!?" Qin Feng was pleasantly surprised when he heard Duan Tianqiu's voice. Duan Tianqiu had finally woken up. He did not know how much his strength had recovered.
Immediately, he asked Duan Tianqiu, "Master, do you know about Sword Saint Xuanyuan?"
Upon hearing this, Duan Tianqiu was silent for a moment. Then, he sighed and said, "There are some things that I should tell you. Actually, I am the seventh disciple of Sword Saint Xuanyuan. The ancestor of Lia Family, Lie Kongyun, is my eldest senior brother!"
"What?!" Qin Feng cried out in shock.
"Little brother, I know you are surprised that the ancestor of Lia Family was a Sword Saint disciple, but your reaction is a little slow, isn't it?" Wu Wenshuang who was standing at the side saw Qin Feng suddenly shout out in surprise. She couldn't help but furrow her brows in doubt.
Ike and the others also looked at Qin Feng curiously. It had been half a quarter of an hour since the shocking news came out of the news. Why did Qin Feng only exclaim now?
"Cough cough... I... Forget it." Qin Feng had an awkward expression. He wanted to explain, but he did not know how to explain. Fortunately, he gave up and was treated as a slow-witted person.
Then, he released the Mind Power and inserted it into the Profound Soul Ring to communicate with Duan Tianqiu.
"Feng, I'm sorry. I haven't told you all this. I was also a disciple of Xuanyuan Mansion, and the last disciple of Master." Duan Tianqiu sighed with emotion.
"Master only took in seven of our disciples in his life. It has been nearly thirty thousand years. Everything has changed. I'm afraid they are no longer alive. " Duan Tianqiu sighed, "When I entered the Xuanyuan Mansion nine years ago, I had already observed them. Those familiar faces from the past were no longer there, only their descendants were left.
When I saw Lia Tian casting the Sword Skill, I had already guessed that he was the descendant of my eldest senior brother. However, I don't know why the Lia Family lived in seclusion here instead of staying in the Xuanyuan Mansion. It seems like too many things have happened in the past few tens of thousands of years.
Love."
Listening to Duan Tianqiu's narration, Qin Feng still couldn't believe it. His own Master's master was actually Sword Saint Xuanyuan? Could he be considered Sword Saint Xuanyuan's grand-disciple? This seniority could be said to be terrifyingly high. If the people of Xuanyuan Mansion found out about it... They would have to call him 'Ancestral Master', wouldn't they?
"Master... Then, were you also a sword immortal back then?" Qin Feng suddenly thought of a question.
"En, as a Sword Saint disciple, how can you bring shame to our Master? The seven of us are all sword immortals. Among them, second senior brother's Cultivation Level is the highest, and eldest senior brother is the second." Duan Tianqiu finally confessed to his Cultivation Level.
Qin Feng was once again shocked, and this also reminded him of Duan Tianqiu's past enemies. To think that ___ had nearly caused the death of a sword immortal who possessed a supreme treasure like the Profound Soul Ring. It seemed like their strength was also terrifyingly powerful. They were at least Immortal Grade experts, but he didn't know how many tens of thousands of years had passed. Would they still be alive in this world?
Duan Tianqiu spoke of another part of the past. "At that time, our eldest senior brother was very good to us and took care of us very well. Especially to me. At that time, I was the last to enter the sect, and I was also the youngest. And I was an orphan. At that time, my eldest senior brother took care of me as if I were his father, taking care of me with utmost care. He was even more caring towards me than Master."
