Chapter 862

The Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable felt as if he hadn't woken up yet.

Before he was trapped in the box, he was the founding ancestor of the Wendao Sect, the ancestor with the most seniority.

How is it that after coming out of the box, his seniority has actually dropped?

How did the Innate Daoist appear?

"Wait, why do I remember that the Innate Ancestor died? Every year I went to his grave to offer incense, and neither his appearance nor his cultivation base matches!" The Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable had a belly full of questions.

Originally, he was still feeling sentimental, saying there was no one left in the Wendao Sect he knew, but then, well, the founding ancestor himself had popped up; how could he still be bothered with feeling sentimental?

"The Innate Ancestor faked his death. He just woke up not long ago. Due to special reasons, he was hunted down and had to disperse his cultivation and start over to avoid pursuit." As the first person to discover the Innate Daoist, Lu Yang explained.

"Hello, I am Qi Tongtian." The Innate Daoist greeted him honestly. The statue of the Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable was still displayed in the sect's main hall, so everyone knew this was the Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable without needing an introduction.

"Greetings, Innate Ancestor. My name is Wang Daoyi; you can just call me Little Wang from now on." Although the Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable liked to show off his strength, challenge the strong, and act without regard for consequences, he was also a cultivator who understood etiquette.

"I heard you had been missing for eighty thousand years; where did you go?" The Innate Daoist was very curious about the Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable's origins; after all, he was the one who truly brought the Wendao Sect from an ordinary sect into the ranks of the Five Great Immortal Sects.

"Uh—" The Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable felt that relying on his own ability to force his way into a secret realm and triggering a restriction to be locked up for over two hundred years was not a glorious thing.

Especially saying this in front of the founding ancestor.

Lu Yang saw the Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable's embarrassment and stepped forward to explain:

"Eighty thousand years ago, Senior Guiyuan broke into an Immortal's secret realm and was inadvertently trapped in a crack in time. However, it was a blessing in disguise; he didn't have to worry about his lifespan running out, which allowed him to appear in the present world. After Senior escaped, he fought the Divine Lord of Thunder of the Great Qian Dynasty, saving the Mountain-Moving and Sea-Filling Sect from fire and water. It was truly a heroic act. It's just a pity that his injuries were too severe afterward, and he fell into a coma. We brought him back to the sect, and he just woke up."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, that's exactly how it happened." The Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable nodded vigorously, thinking that this junior, Lu Yang, was really quite good.

"The person who struck me was the Divine Lord of Thunder of Great Qian?" Hearing Lu Yang say this, the Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable finally learned the Divine Lord of Thunder's identity. He had fought the Divine Lord of Thunder only because he wanted the Divine Lord of Thunder to apologize.

When the Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable was blasted, the Divine Lord of Thunder had fallen into a coma but still hadn't escaped the fate of being blasted. His physical fitness was not as good as the Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable's, and he was still in a coma.

"You just said there are a few people in the sect I know; besides the Innate Ancestor, who else is there?"

"Would you like to see Senior River Spirit?"

"Let's go." He and the River Spirit could be considered old friends, and their bond was deep.

"Senior River Spirit, it's been a while since we brothers last met, eh." The Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable felt very close when he saw an old acquaintance, and the axe in the River Spirit's hand also looked familiar.

The River Spirit walked on the waves, stepped out of the stream, and swung both his gold and silver axes over.

"You disappeared for eighty thousand years without a word; you're really something!"

The Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable knew he was in the wrong and didn't dare to fight back, only able to smile apologetically and dodge the axes.

The River Spirit hacked away for a long time, and knowing he couldn't hit him, he simply stopped hacking.

Seeing the Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable again, the River Spirit didn't know what to feel.

If one were to ask who had the best relationship with the River Spirit in the Wendao Sect, it would be the Three Ancestors. He owed his awakening of intelligence to the help of the Innate Daoist. The Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable had been active for twenty thousand years, and the Han Hai Daoist for fifty thousand years; he had spent a long time in contact with all of them.

He had watched the Innate Daoist disappear and the Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable disappear. Although he didn't show much on the surface, he was actually very melancholy inside. He had a feeling that the road to longevity was long and old friends were leaving one after another; this was probably the fate that those who lived long could not escape.

As it turned out, the two missing people had popped up again, and his sadness had been for nothing.

Seeing that the Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable and the River Spirit had the intention of drinking and chatting until they were drunk, Lu Yang reminded him in a low voice from the side: "Senior, you haven't finished meeting everyone yet?"

"There's still someone?" The Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable was somewhat surprised. Could there still be acquaintances of his in the Wendao Sect?

"Daoist Friend Han Hai, it's not that I'm lecturing you, but how can you just give spirit stones as a gift to your Dao companion on a holiday?" On the Snowy Mountain, True Person Zhuiyue held her forehead and shook her head helplessly. Even so, the Han Hai Daoist still asked why his Dao companion was angry.

"Isn't it because I didn't know what to buy? Plus, the Dragon Clan loves wealth, so I thought I'd just give Little Ya spirit stones. If she wants to buy anything, she can just use these spirit stones. It saves trouble and serves multiple purposes."

After the Han Hai Daoist was kicked out of the Dragon Palace, he ran to find True Person Zhuiyue to solve his confusion. As a female cultivator and one who possessed the embryonic form of the Seven Emotions Dao Fruit, True Person Zhuiyue should be very knowledgeable in this area.

True Person Zhuiyue rolled her eyes, wanting to know how Ao Ya had taken a fancy to the Han Hai Daoist in the first place.

"This definitely won't work. If you give a gift, you have to give something original..."

Suddenly, True Person Zhuiyue froze and stared blankly behind the Han Hai Daoist.

"Daoist Friend Zhuiyue, what's wrong?"

"Damn it, I saw your ancestor."

"Huh?"

"Haha, Zhuiyue, how did you become such a little shrimp?" The Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable saw True Person Zhuiyue sitting on a chair with her feet not even touching the ground, and he laughed until tears came out.

"Guiyuan, which grave pit did you crawl out of!"

"Never mind where I crawled out of; tell me first how you became so small?"

True Person Zhuiyue hated this topic the most and immediately activated the embryonic form of her Seven Emotions Dao Fruit: "You talk too much; cry for me!"

The Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable immediately began to wail loudly, kneeling on the ground and pounding it: "Zhuiyue, how did you become so small? I feel it's so unfair for you—"

True Person Zhuiyue got goosebumps listening and hurriedly canceled the ability of the Seven Emotions Dao Fruit, and the Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable returned to normal.

"You used the Seven Emotions Dao Fruit on me again!" The Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable was furious. Who plays tricks on people the moment they meet?

"Heh, you being angry right now is also my ability."

"I don't believe it!"

"Then try not being angry now."

"Fine."

The Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable took two deep breaths, inhaling quite a bit of cold wind, and his anger vanished completely. He said happily:

"I knew you were lying to me. Look, I'm not angry now."

"As long as you're not angry."

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou watched from the side, feeling that their sect's ancestor was not on the same level as True Person Zhuiyue.

"Ancestor Guiyuan?"

The Han Hai Daoist was slightly startled to see the Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable, and seeing Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, he probably guessed that the Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable's appearance had something to do with the two of them.

"Junior Fang Wuya, greetings, Ancestor Guiyuan."

"You are the Han Hai Daoist that Little Lu mentioned, the one who revitalized my Wendao Sect?"

"That is correct."

"Not bad, not bad. Who would have thought that my Wendao Sect would have three Half-Immortals in one sect? It is destined to flourish! It seems that besides Jiang Ping'an and Meng Junzi, our Wendao Sect is the strongest in the Great Xia!"

"Three Half-Immortals in one sect?" The Han Hai Daoist heard this for the first time. Aren't the Half-Immortals of the Wendao Sect now just him and Ancestor Guiyuan?

"That's right, you, me, and her." The Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable pointed at Yun Mengmeng.

Yun Mengmeng raised her hand to state her position: "Ancestor, you've got it wrong. Although I listen to the Second-in-Command, I am not from the Wendao Sect."

"Then who are you?" This time it was the Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable's turn to be stunned.

"I'm here to visit relatives."
