Chapter 621 What Did You Know?
“I…”
“Well, you don’t need to answer. I know.” Elder Zheng showed a meaningful smile.
“What do you know?!” Ling Li shouted in his heart.
Elder Zheng smiled happily. Ling Li didn’t expect that the First Elder of Fenglei Holy Sect would be so gossipy.
He sighed inwardly and didn’t explain, “First Elder, then…I’ll go back to the mount.”
“Go ahead.”
Elder Zheng waved his hand and reminded him, “Your cultivation is low and weak. Remember to get extra-nutrition for your body.”
Ling Li took a lurch. He almost fell at the threshold and ran away without looking back.
“Hahaha…”
Elder Zheng laughed, looking at Ling Li who cut a sorry figure and left. Elder Zheng couldn’t help but let out a sigh, “It’s great to be young.”
…
Grand Elder Nan flew with Su Li in the Fenglei Forbidden Land. After a while, they landed on the edge of crater of an extinct volcano.
Grand Elder Nan made finger gestures with both hands to unlock the seal on the crater, and suddenly, a fiery-red thunder snake rushed out. Su Li could hear a faint roll of thunder.
Light flashed through Su Li’s eyes. She didn’t say anything and followed Grand Elder Nan into the volcano.
“Su Qingshui, the Divine Thunder is in the center of the volcano. Do you know why I am eager to bring you to see the Divine Thunder?”
Grand Elder Nan walked ahead in the tunnel which was dug before. And before Su Li could answer, her low and husky voice echoed in the tunnel, “My name is Xiang Nan, and Grand Elder Hua is my unrelated brother, Xiang Hua. Ancestor Lei didn’t have his own child and both of us were brought up as orphans taken in by him from the outside world.
After the death of our adoptive father, the energy and force of the sect plummeted. In order to ensure the continuous inheritance, the Divine Thunder of Fire and Divine Thunder of Metal were separated according to the last words of our adoptive father. My brother and I kept one of them respectively. It has been…ten thousand years.”
Grand Elder Nan’s eyes misted over, and she sighed, “Time flies so fast. I become a wrinkled old woman in a blink of an eye.”
Speaking of this, Grand Elder Nan chuckled, “Qingshui, is it boring for you to listen to me?”
“No, it isn’t.”
Su Li gave an obedient expression, “Grand Elder, since you have guarded the Divine Thunder of Fire for thousands of years, why didn’t you found anyone to inherit it? If a disciple of the sect controls the Divine Thunder of Fire, maybe Fenglei Holy Sect will be restored to its former glory.”
“Girl, that’s easier than done. It’s so hard to find the right person!”
Grand Elder Nan shook her head helplessly with a smile, “In the past ten thousand years, the holy boys and holy girls have been replaced every two thousand years. Some of them successively mastered the Fire Thunder Genuine Method. But the Divine Thunder of Fire is the most irritable one in the Divine Thunders of the Five Elements, and Divine Thunder of Metal is similar to it. When the Divine Thunder entered their body, they all failed.”
Light flashed through Su Li’s eyes. She had the Divine Thunder of Water in her body, and water wasn’t compatible with fire. If she firstly chose to fuse the Divine Thunder of Fire into her body, it would be much more difficult. Originally, she wanted to fuse the Divine Thunder of Metal firstly. In the five elements, metal gave birth to water and the conflict between metal and water was much smaller. But…the plan couldn’t keep up with the changes.
“Your arrival is undoubtedly a surprise.”
Grand Elder Nan smiled gently, “When I was a child, my adoptive father was in poor health. He often hid from us to vomit blood and practice in isolation for a period of time. Before he died, the thing he talked about most was this inheritance jade token. I didn’t know the meaning of the mark on the back of this jade token, but my adoptive father said that if someone, who was a real talent, came to the sect with this jade token, we should spare no effort to train him or her!”
Su Li immediately sighed, “I am not worthy of it.”
Ancestor Lei should be a Great Emperor of Ling Qingshui’s era, and the most likely person to hold this jade token was the son of Ling Qingshui…Ling Li who had been sealed. Did Ancestor Lei make this entrustment because of it?
“Ha-ha, don’t say that. You are destined to get this token.”
Grand Elder Nan lightly patted Su Li on the thin shoulder, “You disabled Chen Qing. If this had happened before he mastered the Metal Thunder Genuine Method, it would have been a trifle. But now, it is a big trouble.”
Light flashed through Su Li’s eyes. She did notice the golden lightning mark between Chen Qing’s eyebrows, but with her strength, even if Chen Qing had fully mastered the lightning marks of the five elements, he still couldn’t have resisted one attack from her.
The reason why he was still alive was that she thought that she would go so far if she killed him. Moreover, she would take the things from the Fenglei Holy Sect.
“So, even if you just get in touch with the holy method… I have to take you here and declare to the outside world that you have understood the mark of Divine Thunder of Fire and you are practicing in isolation. Then Xiang Hua can do nothing to you.”
As she said, Grand Elder Nan put a rune seal on Su Li’s palm and whispered, “You hide this thing. It is indeed unrealistic to awaken you to the mark of Divine Thunder of Fire in just a few days. If Xiang Hua insists on verifying your lightning mark, you should secretly smash this rune seal. I will cast spells beside you. This method is foolproof.”
Su Li was dazed for a second. Then she took the rune seal and said nothing.
She wondered why Xiang Nan would like to totally trust her, who was just a stranger, for an inheritance token. They had just meet each other.
If Su Li were Xiang Nan, Su Li couldn’t do that.
Feeling Su Li’s concerns, Grand Elder Nan smiled. She turned and walked slowly along the tunnel, “Let’s go. Don’t think too much. The token has a spirit. You are the master of it, so you must be extraordinary. In other words, you are the most promising candidate to inherit the Divine Thunder in the past ten thousand years. I also want to see the fulfillment of my adoptive father’s wish when I am alive. He wished…someone could restore the prosperity of Fenglei Sect.”
Su Li raised her head and followed Xiang Nan. She said with a smile,
“With your auspicious words, I will surely make Fenglei Sect become one of the top sects in Qingshui Circle.”
“Hahaha, silly girl. Put the matter aside until you inherit the Divine Thunder…”
…
Elder Zheng watched Ling Li go. When he returned to the study, he felt nervous and breathed with difficulty.
His pupils shrank. When he looked up, he saw the figure in a gray robe facing him in the room.
His face changed slightly. Then he walked carefully to the gray-robed man and saluted, “Grand Elder Hua, I’m here to salute you.”
“Humph!”
The gray-robed old man turned around and slammed his sleeve on Elder Zheng’s face, letting out a crisp sound.
“It seemed that you know that there is another Grand Elder in Fenglei Holy Sect!”
Xiang Hua pulled a long face, “Where did Su Qingshui go?”
Elder Zheng lowered his head, keeping silent for a moment. Then he replied, “I have no idea.”
“You have no idea?”
Xiang Hua suddenly sneered, “Do you think I couldn’t guess it if you don’t tell me? If you protect the murderer, Fenglei Holy Sect will be destroyed by Xiang Nan sooner or later. As the First Elder, you are selfish. Don’t let me get something on you. Otherwise, even Xiang Nan can’t save you!”
“I don’t dare to do that.”
Elder Zheng repeatedly saluted, watching the gray-robed old man leave in a huff, but he was completely disappointed in this Grand Elder.
Selfish? Protecting the murderer?
Elder Zheng thought, “Anyone can say those words but you… Xiang Hua, you are not qualified!”
“How many evil things has Chen Qing done over the years? But you always forgave him, which corrupted the sect’s morals. Grand Elder Nan wanted to argue with you several times for this, but you turned a blind eye to her.”
“Chen Qing offended Su Qingshui and he was crippled by her. Then you stand out to uphold justice.”
When Elder Zheng heard the news that Su Qingshui disabled Chen Qing, he was surprised and then worried about Su Qingshui. He did not sympathize with Chen Qing at all, which showed how annoying Cheng Qing was.
“Chen Qing is such a scumbag. But Xiang Hua, you still regard him as a treasure?!”
These words had been hidden in Elder Zheng’s mind for many years. Considering their kinship before and that the sect should have a backer, Grand Elder Nan didn’t make an open break with him.
“Grand Elder Nan, you still treat him as your elder brother, but in his eyes, you are just a stumbling block for him to control the sect…”
Elder Zheng sighed deeply and hurriedly transmitted the message to Grand Elder Nan.
Next, there would be the game on the level of Grand Elders. He was not suitable to come forward.
…
In the center of the volcano, the red leaves of buttonwood were like an ocean of flames, reflecting on the transparent magma. In the sulphurous cave, the red leaves were glaring and dazzling. If a mortal were, he would be melted by the scorching heat in an instant. But for Xiang Nan, this temperature didn’t leave the slightest impact on her actions.
“This place has temperatures in the 1000s. Qingshui, can you still bear it?”
Xiang Nan looked back and saw Su Li’s face which was as usual. She was surprised. Su Li smiled when she heard the words, “My physical body is stronger than those of ordinary people.”
“I see.”
Xiang Nan was surprised. There were always various kinds of toughness in body practitioners that made it difficult for method practitioners to understand. When the cultivation was lower, it was easier to show it. Originally, she had a doubt that Su Li easily defeated Chen Qing. Now she could understand.
With Chen Qing’s character, he must underestimate Su Qingshui. When he was close to her with a weak physical boy, he was definitely no match for her!
Thinking of this, Xiang Nan was more satisfied with Su Li.
The pain of inheriting the Divine Thunder was beyond imagination. With a strong physical body and strong self-healing power, it was highly likely for her to inherit the Divine Thunder. As long as Su Qingshui could awaken the mark of Divine Thunder of Fire, she can directly start trying.
“This buttonwood is transformed from the Divine Thunder of Fire.”
Thinking of this, Xiang Nan pointed to the fiery-red buttonwood overgrown in the cave, “You have not yet awakened the mark of Divine Thunder of Fire. Do not get close to it, otherwise the Divine Thunder of Fire will enter your body early, and you will be seriously injured in an instant, which will affect the inheritance process…”
Xiang Nan looked serious, and she instructed carefully, “You should practice and get enlightenment in situ. Don’t walk around. There are enough celestial stones in this universe ring for your practice. I will see your progress of practice after several days.”
Su Li glanced at the fiery-red giant trees and turned around to look at Xiang Nan. She nodded gently, “Don’t worry. I am not a reckless person.”
Xiang Nan was gratified by Su Li. She smiled and left, stooping.
Su Li’s divine awareness quickly scattered. Seeing Xiang Nan fly out of the crater, Su Li began to set a seal with her hands.
Pieces of curb runes like black snowflakes floated in the air, forming a giant black net. Then the net broke into pieces and burrowed into the small openings of the cave, enveloping the entire volcanic cave.
The Tianluo Ghost Curb was made in a flash!
If Ye Che were here, he would be shocked. Su Li’s ghost curb had already reached such a high level.
After finishing this step, Su Li narrowed her eyes and said softly, “Su Bai.”
