Chapter 1808: Chapter 1802: I Will Inherit His Will

"Gu Xiao, I’ve already told our Sect Master about you, and he’s very interested in you." Qi Congyun sat next to Zhang Menglong and took out his tattered wine gourd, "Do you still have that beer from last time? Give me some!"

"Qingdao or Budweiser?"

"Haha, Budweiser!"

Zhang Menglong handed him a few bottles, Qi Congyun opened the cap and began gulping it down.

"The Sect Master said he wants to skip the intern disciple stage and directly make you an Elder."

At first, Qi Congyun was quite surprised with this, he originally thought at most Gu Xiao would be a direct disciple, unexpectedly achieving the title of Elder right away.

But thinking about it, this kid Gu Xiao is simply a monster! He’s only Divine Breath Eighth Grade, yet can practically wipe the floor with core disciples like Wan Ning!

If he advances to the Divine Cultivation Realm, his true fighting power might compete even with slightly weaker Dao realm martial artists. Plus, with this time’s harvest in the Ancient Cave Heaven, he may have more than just items from the Divine Profound Hall!

So, it’s not strange that the Sect Master wants to show him goodwill.

"But I refused, I feel that you wouldn’t be interested in the position of Elder, and walking step by step might be better for your growth."

"You really know me!" Zhang Menglong indeed has no interest in such positions; instead, he finds it troublesome. If he becomes an Elder, wouldn’t he have to deal with some trivial matters all day?

"Tell me about Ancient Cave Heaven?" Qi Congyun is quite intrigued by Zhang Menglong’s experiences over the past three years.

"Actually, it’s nothing much, emptied a medicine garden, made a lot of money, and gained some martial arts knowledge."

Zhang Menglong suddenly looked at Qi Congyun, "Is your Sect Master reliable? I don’t want to be worried about people all day."

"Hahaha," Qi Congyun burst into loud laughter, "Don’t worry, I assure you on my honor, our Sect Master is definitely not like that; I’ve never seen anyone more easygoing than him. He spends his days fishing and drinking tea, doesn’t care about sect matters, and I’ve never seen him cultivate either. I truly wish he had a bit of ambition, rather than being so indifferent."

"No wonder your Sunset Sect is getting worse and worse," hearing Qi Congyun’s description, Zhang Menglong also let down some guard, a Sect Master who only knows fishing and drinking tea, and doesn’t want to handle sect affairs, probably doesn’t have many ill intentions.

"Did you really obtain the Divine Profound Hall’s inheritance?" Qi Congyun seems still very interested in Zhang Menglong’s acquisitions.

"Why are you so obsessed with the Divine Profound Hall?" Zhang Menglong asked curiously.

"Humph, someday, I’ll figure out a way to smash the Divine Profound Hall, then I’ll poop and pee at their doorstep!"

"So ruthless?" Zhang Menglong looked at him in surprise, "What grudge, what hatred? Did they molest your daughter?"

"What nonsense, I’m not even married!" Qi Congyun said angrily, "Do you remember I told you about my senior brother?"

"Mm, the big guy who stormed into Divine Profound Hall single-handedly, right?"

"Do you know why I like you so much? Because I see my senior brother’s shadow in you," Qi Congyun sighed, "You’re alike, both exceptionally gifted and carefree, acting without care for consequences, just for peace of mind."

"Why don’t you tell me your senior brother’s story? I’m very interested," Zhang Menglong actually finds this fierce person intriguing, a core disciple causing the whole Divine Profound Hall to fall into chaos, even forcing the Vice Hall Master to take action, isn’t this a typical protagonist from thrilling novels?

"My senior brother is called Lei Poguan; he was also the top choice of our batch, naturally possessing five Divine Veins, and during his Peak Divine Cultivation, he had already opened three!"

"Impressive!" Zhang Menglong couldn’t help but praise, even Qi Congyun, who comprehended two paths, was already terrifying, but Lei Poguan who opened three, even without learning the Nine Nether Sunset Art, should be extremely powerful, right?

"Average, average," Qi Congyun heard Zhang Menglong compliment his senior brother; it felt like complimenting himself, "Senior Brother originally planned to choose Divine Profound Hall, but when he heard our Sunset Sect had a powerful cultivation technique, though extremely difficult to comprehend, he changed his mind; he loved challenging things outsiders deem impossible."

"He comprehended three levels, right?"

"Exactly," Qi Congyun said, "Usually, gifted people take a hundred years to comprehend the first level, if past a century, it’s basically impossible to comprehend more in their lifetime, and my senior brother comprehended the first level of Nine Nether Sunset Art in less than a year!"

"How long did you take?" Zhang Menglong asked curiously.

"37 years!"

"That’s quite long!" Zhang Menglong couldn’t help clicking his tongue, "Compared to that, your senior brother is indeed amazing."

"I was fast already," Qi Congyun didn’t refute, "Many people can’t even begin; my senior brother’s a monster, not human! Later, he spent five years comprehending the second level; even our current Sect Master has only reached this level."

"What about the third level?"

"Actually, my senior brother didn’t comprehend the third level under normal circumstances."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"Humph, if he consolidated after comprehending, even the Vice Hall Master of Divine Profound Hall wouldn’t be able to stop him, several would die!"

"Speaking of, what’s the reason behind it? There must be some deep hatred!" Zhang Menglong couldn’t help gossiping.

"Alas!" Qi Congyun sighed deeply, "Men, generally, it’s nothing more than anger for a beauty, but Divine Profound Hall has always been bullying with their power!"

Qi Congyun started telling the story.

Actually, the event was simple; Divine Profound Hall and Sunset Sect had a conflict over a Divine Crystal vein. Because Divine Profound Hall had numbers on their side, Sunset Sect’s 2 core disciples, 27 Inner Sect disciples, and over 200 outer sect disciples were surrounded, with opponents outnumbering them by nearly five times.

At the time, an Inner Sect junior sister was Lei Poguan’s favorite, upon hearing this, he instantly charged over.

He was just a step late; during the resistance, Sunset Sect disciples suffered one-third casualties, including that junior sister.

Furious, Lei Poguan single-handedly annihilated over 1300 people from the Divine Profound Hall.

Although it was Divine Profound Hall who started killing first, they claimed victimhood, demanding Sunset Sect hand over Lei Poguan. Lei Poguan, with his straightforward nature, rushed over by himself!

Lei Poguan carried a coffin containing the bone ashes of dozens of juniors who perished in that battle, and single-handedly infiltrated the Divine Profound Hall.

In that battle, he pushed the flourishing power of his five Divine Veins, three pathways, and the second level of Nine Nether Sunset Art to the limit; typical Peak Divine Cultivators died upon touch, atypical ones might withstand two hits, and even those Dao realm Elders seemed like cheap targets in front of him.

Eventually, nearly one-third of all Divine Profound Hall’s members above Inner Gate disciple were slain, prompting the appearance of a Vice Hall Master.

This Vice Hall Master possessed Seventh Grade Dao realm strength, Lei Poguan was essentially beaten down, and even the ashes he carried were scattered by the opponent, which triggered his rampage, even realizing the third level of Nine Nether Sunset Art at that moment!

It’s said the Vice Hall Master was almost killed on the spot by Lei Poguan, his head nearly stuffed into his rear.

In the end, Divine Profound Hall’s Hall Master had to suppress Lei Poguan, and Lei Poguan, refusing to surrender, chose suicide, burning his body to ashes using energy.

"Such a pity," Zhang Menglong shook his head after listening, "If he could break into the Dao realm, perhaps even that Hall Master couldn’t do anything to him."

"Who knows," Qi Congyun said, "Since then, our Sunset Sect went into decline for quite some time."

"It’s alright, not a big deal," Zhang Menglong patted Qi Congyun’s shoulder, "I’ll inherit his will!"
