Chapter 979

979. Chapter 977: Invincible in All Directions

However, it's also time to go home.

……

"Buzz!", just then, a faint voice sounded in Lu Yuan's ear.

"Kid, do you want to become stronger than a Martial Ancestor?"

"Ah! Who? Who's speaking?" Lu Yuan jumped in fright.

"Not bad, kid. I am invincible; you can call me Zu Ye Ye."

"Zu Ye Ye…" Lu Yuan's spirit trembled.

"Huh? Why are you dawdling, kid? If you don't want to take me as your master, fine, but you dare to refuse me? Believe it or not, I'll kill you right now." Suddenly, a slightly angry voice exploded in Lu Yuan's mind.

"Uh, take you as master?" Lu Yuan was dumbfounded.

"Yes, take me as master." The voice said again: "I tell you, I am a powerful Martial Ancestor; if you take me as your master, I'll guarantee you a life of luxury and riches."

"Uh, sorry, that really won't work…" Lu Yuan hastily shook his head. Even if you're a Martial Ancestor, my master is the top expert of the Great Xia Kingdom—the Qingyun Great Emperor.

"What do you mean it won't work? It won't work, but you'll have to do it anyway, hehehe. Kid, you should have heard of my fame—back then I roamed the Northern Wasteland Forest unmatched, truly invincible in all directions…"

"Kid, you're lucky; you just happened to meet me. If you agree to take me as your master, I'll certainly impart all my knowledge and teach you the supreme secret manual."

……

"Uh, what did you just say? Can you explain it in more detail?"

Lu Yuan's mouth twitched twice; he was somewhat speechless.

What does it mean to be invincible? He doesn't deny that this Grand Ancestor possesses extraordinary strength.

But, so what?

He is, after all, the reincarnation of the Azure Cloud Great Emperor; these years, he has barely managed to enter the ranks of a Warrior.

These so-called Martial Master experts are, in his view, utterly not worth mentioning.

"Er." Lu Yuan's voice cut off abruptly.

"Kid, you don't know good from bad; let me tell you, I am the famed Kuangzhan Daojun of the Great Xia Kingdom!"

"Kuang, Kuangzhan Daojun?" Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's eyelids twitched violently.

"Hahaha, not bad! Knowing I am Kuangzhan Daojun, why don't you quickly kneel and kowtow for mercy?"

"Are you sure you're Kuangzhan Daojun?" Lu Yuan asked, his face full of shock; how could he not know the name Kuangzhan Daojun?

It is said that this person has a violent temperament, loves fighting, especially enjoys abusing opponents; in the past, wielding a single Mad War Blade, he slaughtered countless experts, even Martial Master experts of the same rank, who met a gruesome end at his hands—captured alive and then tortured to death.

This is a terrifying existence akin to a mad demon.

However, it is said that his lifespan is nearing its end, his days are numbered; how could he appear here?

And yet he left a strand of his will within my body, taking me as his disciple?

Lu Yuan felt it was utterly bizarre, completely incomprehensible.

Could it be that this is an illusion?

Lu Yuan frowned tightly, carefully sensing his inner self.

"Not an illusion... but real?" Lu Yuan wondered uncertainly, his thoughts racing.

"Kid, cut the nonsense, quickly kneel and kowtow to become my disciple, or I'll slap you to death with one palm."

Boom—

Accompanied by a roar of thunder, a massive oppressive pressure spread forth.

Lu Yuan's whole body shuddered, his mind trembled.

"Thud." Lu Yuan bent his knees and dropped straight to the ground.

Just kidding.

Although I don't know what this Kuangzhan Daojun is scheming, I can be certain that he is far beyond my ability to contend with; once he gets angry, he can easily obliterate me.

"Haha, good, the youngster is teachable, not bad!" the voice of Kuangzhan Daojun sounded, carrying a hint of excitement.

In the next instant, an image flashed through Lu Yuan's mind.

It was an ancient primeval forest, deep within which stood a towering, majestic figure.

"Paying respects to the Grand Ancestor."

Lu Yuan knelt respectfully.

Before him stood a burly man clad in coarse hemp, his upper body bare, muscles knotted like steel forged, solid as steel and iron, brimming with terrifying explosive power; it seemed that a casual strike from him could rend the void.

At this moment, Lu Yuan's gaze was vacant, his head dizzy, somewhat unable to grasp the situation.

What on earth is going on?

"Kid, don't just stand there; first cultivate this technique, then we'll talk."

Kuangzhan Daojun said, directly tossing a jade slip to Lu Yuan, then added: "Once you've mastered it, come find me; then we'll discuss taking you as a disciple."

"Oh, alright, Grand Ancestor."

"Hmm." Kuangzhan Daojun gave a slight nod, and immediately his hazy figure slowly faded away.

At the same moment, Lu Yuan felt his vision blur; the scenery before him shifted instantly, and upon regaining his senses, he had already left Mysterious Stone Village and appeared in the outside world.

The place he was in was none other than his own dwelling.

"Huh, this is..." Lu Yuan blinked his eyes.

A segment of memory surfaced in his mind, namely the recollection of his past life.

"I never expected to be reborn into an ordinary person's body, and moreover to encounter Kuangzhan Daojun."

Soon Lu Yuan gave a wry smile, thinking his luck couldn't possibly be worse—such things could happen to him.

And worst of all, I actually have to take Kuangzhan Daojun as my master...

What karma have I created, why did my mother assign me such a disciple?

Lu Yuan wanted to cry but had no tears.

However, since things have already happened, he can only comply; after all, given his current situation, the only path is to apprentice under the Crazy War Blade Lord.

However, the strength of this Crazy War Blade Lord remains unknown.

But there is no doubt, he is absolutely not weak.

"No matter his strength, in any case, he will definitely not harm me; moreover, given my potential, as long as I can cultivate, surpassing the Crazy War Blade Lord in the future should pose no problem." Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

However, what puzzled him was why this Crazy War Blade Lord didn't simply seize his body; logically, that would be the way to completely control him, right? Moreover, he had just said his soul had fused with the 'Soul-devouring Pearl', so did his body still retain a soul? For a moment, Lu Yuan fell into contemplation.

Because at this moment he didn't know what to do, facing such a situation, he was also at a loss for a while.

……

The next morning.

As the morning sun rose, in the Lu Family Manor, at the breakfast table.

Today is the day of ancestor worship, and everyone has gathered together.

The Lu Family Patriarch and the senior elders of the third and fourth branches took the main seats, while the people of the fifth and sixth branches could only stand by the table to serve.

Because the fifth and sixth branches are not of the direct bloodline; they are descended from concubines.

Moreover, among the fifth branch, besides Lu Yuan, there is a ten-year-old boy; he is the sole son of the fifth uncle, the son of the second uncle Lu Tao—Lu Hao.

"Xiao Hao, today you must do your best; not only must you help your parents, but you must also help our family hold its head high…" Lu Tao looked at Lu Hao, speaking solemnly.

"Don't worry, Father, the son will not disappoint you." Lu Hao said with a solemn face.

Lu Yuan listened to their conversation, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth. (End of chapter)
