Chapter 213

Previously,

Jiang Chen had also always thought that this Penglaixiandao truly had special qualities.

But later, after associating it with these Four Guardians, he no longer thought so.

For example,

this mountain called Penglaixiandao might have originally just been an ordinary small island, and later, it was only because of Mo Yi's existence that it was bestowed the title of Immortal Mountain.

But if that were the case,

then why did Mo Yi keep staying on Penglaixiandao, refusing to leave?

Thinking deeper, was the other party unwilling to leave, or unable to leave?

And also,

although it was always rumored that the location of Penglaixiandao was the furthest reaches of the East Sea, in the eyes of Jiang Chen, who had transmigrated here, that was obviously impossible!

Looking at it this way,

could the deeper reaches of the East Sea be the Eastern Frontier guarded by Mo Yi?

If so,

then Li Li Hanyi and the others' master, Li Li Changsheng—the reason he was nowhere to be seen now—was it also because he was burdened with important matters and could not leave at will?

After all, the Northern Frontier was guarded by the Su family,

and Li Li Changsheng was Su Su Baiyi's disciple!

Following that,

Jiang Chen couldn't help but think of the Lu family guarding the Southern Frontier and the Ye family guarding the Western Frontier.

Although from the current perspective,

the traces of this Lu family and Ye family seemed to have disappeared from the Northern Li Dynasty, but if one carefully thought about the events that had occurred in the Northern Li Dynasty over these years, it seemed that was not the case.

For example, the previous Master of Mount Mount Qingcheng, Lu Lu Suzhen,

and the leader of the Demonic Cult who led the eastern expedition twelve years ago, Ye Ye Dingzhi.

Thinking of this,

Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.

Sure enough,

even in the Northern Li Dynasty where he was currently located, there seemed to be many secrets hidden that were unknown to ordinary people.

Previously, he had wondered why, until now, he hadn't even encountered a single powerhouse above the Divine Wandering Mysterious Realm.

Not to mention anything else,

the authors of supreme martial arts like the Nine Yin Manual, the Sunflower Manual, and the Bright Jade Art, in Jiang Chen's view, should have at least reached the peak of the Divine Wandering Mysterious Realm; even the Earth Immortal or Immortal realms were not impossible.

Yet now,

it seemed no one knew where these people had gone.

If one said they were all dead,

Jiang Chen obviously did not believe it.

Powerhouses capable of writing such techniques must have had extremely outstanding talent; it would be understandable if one or two died, but if one said they were all dead, he wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death.

"Young Master, what's wrong?"

Watching Jiang Chen, who was sitting beside her looking absent-minded, Little Dragon Maiden couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"It's nothing, just thought of some things."

Hearing Little Dragon Maiden's words, Jiang Chen came back to his senses, and then couldn't help but ask curiously: "Miss Long, when your master brought you back to the Ancient Tomb, had your founder, Lin Lin Chaoying, already passed away?"

"I'm not clear about this either."

Little Dragon Maiden shook her head and said softly: "However, in my memories, I have never seen the founder of our Ancient Tomb Sect?"

After speaking,

she looked at Jiang Chen with some confusion: "Young Master, why did you suddenly ask about this?"

Jiang Chen smiled lightly: "Just asking casually. By the way, forgive me for asking, but after your founder passed away, where was she buried?"

"Right in the Ancient Tomb."

Little Dragon Maiden smoothed her hair slightly and explained with a smile:

"According to what my master said, any disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect, if they die, even if they die outside, their remains must be brought back to the Ancient Tomb for burial. In our Ancient Tomb, there are quite a few stone coffins; as for the founder's, it is carved from Millennium Cold Jade."

"Millennium Cold Jade?"

Hearing this, Jiang Chen's heart stirred.

The reason he had asked this just now was because a thought had suddenly popped into his head.

That was, had Lin Lin Chaoying actually not died?

After all, outsiders could not enter the Ancient Tomb at all; since they couldn't enter, all information about the Ancient Tomb could only be passed out through the mouths of the Ancient Tomb Sect disciples.

And the information that Lin Lin Chaoying died of a broken heart,

if there were no accidents, was obviously passed out from the mouth of Lin Lin Chaoying's maid.

Since that was the case,

was there a possibility that this information about Lin Lin Chaoying's passing was actually intentionally released by Lin Lin Chaoying through her maid?

The reason Jiang Chen thought this way,

was actually because he had reacted when thinking about techniques like the Nine Yin Manual.

Although the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra could not compare to the Nine Yin Manual or the Sunflower Manual, it was still considered a relatively superior martial arts manual.

And a person capable of writing such martial arts would need at least the Divine Wandering Mysterious Realm.

Anyway, Jiang Chen felt that,

just looking at those around him now,

whether it was Yao Yao Yue, Lian Xing, or Dongfang Bubai, they certainly did not possess this ability.

If they could,

Yao Yao Yue would not have had no thoughts of creating her own internal heart technique, despite knowing that the Bright Jade Art could only be cultivated to the peak of the Half-Step Divine Wandering.

As for Dongfang Bubai, that was even more so.

The various phenomena brought about by the incomplete Sunflower Manual were likely still giving her a headache.

0......

Moreover,

according to what Jiang Chen knew,

Lin Lin Chaoying was not only peerless in beauty and talent, but her talent in martial arts was also incomparable; her cultivation realm was so high that among the Five Greats of the Great Song, only Wang Wang Chongyang, known as the Central Divine, could rival her.

Previously, Jiang Chen had never felt there was anything wrong with this.

But now,

thinking about what powerhouses like Mo Yi and Li Li Changsheng, who had reached the Divine Wandering Mysterious Realm, might be doing, he finally reacted.

A martial arts genius whose realm had reached at least the Divine Wandering Mysterious Realm,

and who had been able to write a superior internal heart technique like the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra many years ago—you're telling me she died of a broken heart in the end?

Looking back on it now,

Jiang Chen only felt it was somewhat absurd.

After all,

if Lin Lin Chaoying's temperament were so fragile, how could she have broken through to the Divine Wandering Mysterious Realm?

Didn't you see Baili Baili Dongjun kill his own wife with his own hands, yet he had no trace of going into demonic deviation? And the other party was only at the Half-Step Divine Wandering realm.

Let alone the Divine Wandering Mysterious Realm,

even among experts who could break through to the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Realm, which one of them did not have a firm temperament?

... huan.
