Chapter 535 - A Painful Topic
Great Master Ran Feng couldn’t keep calm. Anyone who knew about the Nine Solar Lightning-Dragon Pill would become extremely agitated. The requirements to concoct this pill were too severe. First, Nine Solar Holy Water, which was a rare ingredient, and hard to obtain. The second part; the most critical one, the alchemist himself had to concoct this pill while facing Heavenly Tribulation. Throughout the entire Divine Continent, there had never been an alchemist capable of achieving this.
However, this young man in front of him had accomplished this seemingly impossible tasked. This caused Great Master Ran Feng’s already high impression of Jiang Chen to reach new levels. This was a true abnormal monster.
“Little friend, you’re really an amazing man.”
Great Master Ren Feng said, his tone filled with mixed emotions.
After feeding Big Yellow the Nine Solar Lightning-Dragon Pill, Jiang Chen finally felt somewhat relaxed. It wasn’t until now that he ran his eyes across the spacious hall. While examining his surroundings, he saw a state placed in the front of the hall. When he saw the face of the statue, his expression instantly changed.
”Ancestor Greenlotus!”
Jiang Chen cried out in shock. In his previous life, he had very few friends, and Ancestor Greenlotus was definitely one of them. Furthermore, Ancestor Greenlotus had once saved his life, so although he had only met him a few times, their relationship was quite deep.
Jiang Chen’s reaction startled Great Master Ran Feng and Tyrant. Ancestor Greenlotus was a man who existed hundreds of years ago, but Jiang Chen could actually recognize him. Buddhists rarely interacted with the outside world, let alone a mighty existence like Ancestor Greenlotus.
“Little friend, you know my master?”
Great Master Ran Feng was surprised by Jiang Chen’s response.
Jiang Chen realized now that he had lost his cool and called out Ancestor Greenlotus’s name. Now he had to find a way to explain his reaction. However, he couldn’t just tell them the fact that he was reincarnated, as it was a fake that would shake this entire world. Being reincarnated and the Dragon Transformation skill, those were his biggest secrets. For an old monster who had lived two lives like him, he knew that such secrets could only be known by himself, and no one else. Otherwise, it had potential to cause a tremendous commotion.
After recognizing Ancestor Greenlotus, Jiang Chen finally remembered this old monk. When Ancestor Greenlotus met Jiang Chen many years, a juvenile monk was following him. Ancestor Greenlotus told him that the juvenile monk was his disciple. However, Jiang Chen didn’t pay much attention to that young monk, and never asked him for his name. He didn’t expect that that young monk had now grown into an old monk, and was standing right in front of him. This junior from many years ago had now become his senior.
Jiang Chen also finally understood why Tyrant knew the Fudo Seal. His judgment back in the Chaotic Ocean was correct, Tyrant did indeed have a relationship with Ancestor Greenlotus.
Without changing his expression, Jiang Chen said, “Ancestor Greenlotus is the greatest Buddhist Saint. Many years ago, he saved my ancestors life, causing my ancestor to owe him a debt of gratitude. Therefore, Ancestor Greenlotus is the savior of my Jiang family. We have a drawing of Ancestor Greenlotus at our home, that’s why I was able to recognize him.”
“Amitabha, good, good. I never expected little friend’s ancestor to have connection with my master. This is destiny.”
Great Master Ran Feng did not doubt Jiang Chen’s words. He was well aware of what kind of person Ancestor Greenlotus was. Ancestor Greenlotus had traveled the entire Saint Origin realm throughout his life, and had saved many people. A nobody like Jiang Chen’s ancestor would surely hang up a portrait of Ancestor Greenlotus and worship it. Perhaps the ancestor of Jiang Chen’s family would never have imagined that he would have such a heaven-defying descendant.
Great Master Ran Feng was very happy. He was happy to know a genius like Jiang Chen, and now, to learn that his master had once saved Jiang Chen’s ancestor, he was even happier.
“More than one hundred years ago, the greatest Saint underneath the heavens used his sword to cut open the gateway to the Realm of Immortals; creating a new path for all Saints in the Saint Origin realm. With Ancestor Greenlotus’s cultivation base, I’m certain he has ascended into the Realm of Immortals.”
Jiang Chen carefully probed.
“That’s for sure. Ancestor Master was a man with mighty strength and a formidable cultivation base. After the greatest Saint fell on the Saint Cliff, he was the first man to rush over to that place, and also the first person to ascend.”
It was Tyrant who answered the question. His words carried a prideful undertone. Having such a formidable Ancestor Master, Tyrant would naturally feel proud about it.
Great Master Ran Feng placed his palms together in a devour manner and bowed toward Ancestor Greenlotus’s statue. However, Jiang Chen could clearly see a vague sadness from Great Master Ran Feng’s expression, and there was even slight anger mixed in. This was abnormal; an eminent monk like Great Master Ran Feng would never easily show his emotions, and would not easily become angry. However, upon mentioning Ancestor Greenlotus’s ascension, his expression immediately became uneasy.
What did this tell Jiang Chen? It meant that something wasn’t right about Ancestor Greenlotus’s ascension.
“Could it be that Greenlotus hasn’t ascended?”
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but furrow his brows. Other people might not know anything about Ancestor Greenlotus’s strength, but he was well aware. Ancestor Greenlotus was worthy of being called the stronger Buddhist. As the greatest Saint himself, Jiang Chen had never admired anyone but Ancestor Greenlotus. He had always felt that if he and Ancestor Greenlotus were to fight, his odds of winning would only be 60%. If they had to find out who the second strongest Saint underneath the heavens was, it would definitely be Ancestor Greenlotus.
