Chapter 637

As for why the other party had appeared in this place.

To trace the reason, one must start from several tens of thousands of years ago.

The other party had once been the personal chief disciple of the Sect Master of Cangyu Sect, a great power of the Dao of Formations!

It was only a pity that, at the very last moment before his master's passing, the master, out of sheer favoritism, had disregarded everything and chosen to hand over all his legacy to his junior fellow disciple "Nangong Sheng," whose cultivation base and Dao of Formations were both inferior to his own!

He had even passed the position of Cangyu Sect's Sect Master to Nangong Sheng, and even instructed him to properly assist Nangong Sheng!

He had always styled himself the Young Sect Master, believing himself to be the best successor for the next Sect Master — how could he possibly accept such an outcome?

Precisely because of this, fury rose from his heart, and he struck out directly, sending his beloved master to his end ahead of time!

Afterwards, he went on a killing spree within Cangyu Sect, wanting to slay Nangong Sheng to vent his hatred!

Unfortunately, he suffered a joint siege from everyone in the sect, was gravely wounded, and had no choice but to flee Cangyu Sect.

After that, he hid himself and secretly studied the Dao of Formations, wanting to make everyone in the sect understand that it was his master who had been blind and chosen the wrong person.

He, Wang Hong, was the most suitable successor!

Over the course of several thousand years, he had researched the Dao of Formations all the way to the Saint Realm, and his cultivation base was so abundant that he was only a single step away from a Saint King!

After that, he could no longer suppress the killing intent and hatred in his heart.

He immediately returned to Cangyu Sect, preparing to wash away his former disgrace and slaughter the entire sect from top to bottom.

In the end, he and Nangong Sheng clashed once more!

Only that Nangong Sheng, who knew from where he had obtained such a fortuitous opportunity, actually possessed a cultivation base no less than his own!

The great battle between the two caused space itself to shatter, and even gave rise to spatial turbulence that swept both of them inside.

By the time they emerged from the spatial turbulence, they had already arrived in this realm!

Then, the great battle continued.

Wang Hong was shocked to discover that he was actually no match for Nangong Sheng!

However, at the critical moment, he still feigned begging for mercy, using their past bond as a pretext, causing Nangong Sheng to hesitate.

Seizing that opening, he decisively deployed his ultimate trump card and successfully ambushed the other party!

But he himself was also gravely wounded by Nangong Sheng, who had fallen into a violent rage; fleeing in panic, he happened to discover this cave-heaven minor world.

Because he felt his remaining lifespan was not much, and to ensure his own legacy would not be cut off, he had mobilized all his resources to build a place of inheritance — which was the present ruins!

As for Nangong Sheng.

After being ambushed by him, although he had not died on the spot.

His Primordial Spirit had nonetheless been polluted, his true spirit damaged, and his life was not long for this world!

Gazing at this tragic ending within the memory fragment — one that could truly be called a mutually destructive outcome.

Jiang Daoxuan could not help but show a sigh of lament on his face.

How familiar was this scene?

Did not the ancestors of the Jiang clan of old also, precisely because of a little favoritism, when selecting an heir, ignore talent and ability, choosing solely based on personal preference?

And it was precisely this that triggered turmoil within the clan, causing the deaths of no small number of clansmen, and giving rise to numerous branch lineages?

Jiang Daoxuan shook his head, then turned his head to look once more at the Dao of Formations true texts all around.

Relying on his incomparably powerful immortal aptitude and comprehension, he could naturally glimpse the mysteries within and sense the legacy left behind by the other party.

However, for him, the time spent on daily cultivation and comprehending the Dao of the Sword already took up a great deal — where would he find the leisure to cultivate the Dao of Formations?

Thinking of this, Jiang Daoxuan immediately formed a plan.

He prepared to wait until returning to Cangwu Mountain, then find within the clan a clansman who possessed talent in the Dao of Formations.

Bestow upon that person a fortuitous opportunity, let them come to this place to comprehend, and obtain the Formation Saint's legacy!

Thus, Jiang Daoxuan took out the Haotian Mirror and began to perform divination, to see which person in the clan could meet this requirement.

Very quickly, accompanied by a flash of light.

The image on the Haotian Mirror began to change rapidly.

The appearance of a black-haired youth emerged.

The other party held a long spear in hand, continuously brandishing moves, his aura fierce and commanding!

"Jiang Ming?"

Jiang Daoxuan felt somewhat surprised.

Although over these past days, he had long since, through the Cangwu Command, from the intelligence reports submitted by the Elder Council, learned a great deal of information about Jiang Ming.

He knew that the other party had quite a bit of talent in the Dao of Artifacts.

But he had not expected that, apart from the Dao of Artifacts, the other party's talent in the Dao of Formations was also not weak — so much so that it had reached an extremely terrifying level, terrifying enough to meet the requirements of the Formation Saint's legacy!

Dual cultivation of Artifacts and Formations?

At this moment, Jiang Daoxuan immediately realized that this Jiang Ming was a rare and valuable compound talent!

Thus, he instantly formed a plan, preparing to wait until returning to Cangwu Mountain, then bring Jiang Ming to this place!

Afterwards, seeing that all matters had been handled.

Jiang Daoxuan only then had the mind to summon the system and begin checking the current changes in Bai Yu.

【Bai Yu: Second-grade Dao Field】

【Currently unlocked features: Void Escape, Heaven-Veiling......】

【Great Dao Affinity: Within Bai Yu, one can more easily enter a state of Dao comprehension! (Currently effective for only four people)】

【Spiritual Energy Affinity: Within Bai Yu, the density of spiritual energy rivals that of a mid-grade Emperor-rank spiritual vein! (Currently effective for only four people)】

【Teleportation Gate: Each cave-heaven minor world can give birth to a Teleportation Gate; after the Teleportation Gate is placed, two-way teleportation can be achieved, allowing all living beings to traverse freely, ignoring distance, unimpeded!】

【Method to advance to a Third-grade Dao Field: Devour two cave-heaven minor world consciousnesses to complete the advancement!】

After Bai Yu advanced to a Second-grade Dao Field, the changes could truly be called enormous.

Not only had the density of spiritual energy been raised from its original Imperial-grade lower tier to Imperial-grade mid tier.

The number of people the enhancement effect could support had also gone from one to four!

Beyond all that, the Teleportation Gate function had been unlocked as well.

Now, he only needed to set up the Teleportation Gate within Cangwu Mountain.

Then, through the Teleportation Gate, he could ignore distance and freely shuttle between Cangwu Mountain and the Grotto-Heaven Minor World!

This function would undoubtedly save a great deal of trouble, cut down the time cost of traveling, and provide much convenience for the clan's members' trials!

Thinking of all these benefits, Jiang Daoxuan could not help but show a smile on his face, feeling very satisfied.

Afterwards, he withdrew his gaze, chose not to linger any longer, and in a flash of his body, vanished from the spot in an instant!

By the time he reappeared, he was already back in front of Yuwen Feng.

At this moment, seeing Clan Leader Jiang come and go and finish handling matters so quickly, and that he could immediately take him to Cangwu Mountain, Yuwen Feng felt a surge of joy, and had just begun to bow and pay respects: "Jiang...."

However, he had only just uttered a single word.

Jiang Daoxuan spoke up and cut him off: "Come back with me."

The moment his words fell, he rose and headed back toward Cangwu Mountain!

Seeing this, Yuwen Feng immediately swallowed back everything he had been about to say, hurriedly chose to follow, afraid of falling behind!
