753 War Is About To Begin (2/2)

A thread of energy reached in. It flowed through his limbs and bones and in just a moment, he had a weird expression on his face.

This is Combat Martial Body? Xuan Spirit Treasure Body?

”Shi'er, you are ranked second in our Shi Family third generation. However, you can't use this name. I will go over my ancestors and take matters into my own hands. You will be called Shi Wuji...”

Shi'er's body jolted and then he nodded his head.

Actually, Shi'er didn't mention that he wasn't planning to use the name Shi'er anymore. He liked the name Shi Wuji!

※※※※

Just 7 days later, 700 miles away from the Imperial Capital.

In a greenish mountain range, a single tomb made out of Dali Stone.

A Soul Calling Banner danced, smoke bellowed.

Shi Wuji solemnly knelt in front of the tomb while Shiyue stood to the side with his hands by his side.

”The seventh day has passed! Originally, the rules state that one needs to mourn for a year, but Uncle has an important matter and can't wait for you. Even your Mother wouldn't want you to waste time in front of her tomb. What are you prepared to do? Are you going to leave with uncle?”

Shi Wuji frowned and didn't reply, only looking to the side with a weird expression.

Thinking to himself, did he have a choice?

Shiyue broke into a smile, ”That's true. No matter whether you agree or not, I will still bring you away.”

The moment he said this, he had already flew into the air. A True Qi forcefully dragged Shi Wuji into the air toward the east.

They travelled swiftly and instantly covered 100 miles. He was totally confused and he couldn't help but ask, ”Aren't we returning to the Shi Family?”

The Imperial Capital Shi Family should be in the west!

”You aren't going back today! Let's talk about that in the future!”

Shiyue shook his head and then his gaze focused on the east, ”Wuji, have you heard about Zong Shou?”

Shi Wuji thought about it and nodded his head slightly, ”I have! I heard he is the top expert in the Sword Path, Owner of Donglin, Blood Sword Monster Lord!”

The name of the Blood Sword Monster Lord was something of interest to all Cultivators, so who wouldn't have heard of it before?

This person is the Ruler of a country, his sword was extremely strong and was totally unrivalled.

A month ago, there were dozens of famous sects who offended him and he wiped them out with just a sword.

It was said that during those few days, blood flowed into a river and millions were killed. He was more cruel than a demon.

The old man from the school said that he was mad, betraying the scriptures and going against the path.

However, there were also people who praised him for being a rare great Ruler, intelligent and strategic.

Speaking of which, if not for Shiyue forcefully dragging him away, he would have most probably headed to Gantian Mountain to see if he could obtain cultivation methods. He would also join the Monster King...

If he could cultivate martial arts and get famous, he wouldn't care if Zong Shou was a demon or a great Ruler.

His heart sunk. Not going back to the Shi Family, what did that mean?

”This person is not the top in the world, he is unrivalled in the world!”

Shiyue shook his head and corrected him. His eyes were filled with a burning passion.

”Wuji, have you heard about Xiangchu Overlord and Ranwu King? This Blood Sword Monster Lord is the only one who could compete with the few of them in these thousands of years!”

Shi Wuji had heard the few old men talk about history. Naturally, he knew about the two who were heroes and once reigned supreme.

However, he still didn't understand what the difference was between 'unrivalled' and 'top in the world'.

His mind worked frantically as he temporarily suppressed the doubts in his mind.

”Why do you talk about this person? Do you have a relationship with him? Do you want to visit him?”

He was still unwilling to call him Uncle. He felt both shy and not willing to do so.

”I have no relationship with him, but I owe him what! The Monster King's personality and actions really makes one convinced. Unfortunately, he is destined to be the enemy of our Shi Family!”

Shiyue laughed, ”I am going east to use my fists to fight him once more! I also want to return his favour. I heard that he is about to face his tribulation and a few days ago he built a 9,000-foot platform using millions of men in just a month. It seems like his tribulation date is close! Gantian Mountain most probably has many heroes gathering, demons spreading all over. We definitely can't miss such action...”

Tribulation?

Shi Wuji's heart moved. He had heard that once one cultivated to Grade-9, one would face tribulation.

If one successfully survived, then one would become a Celestial and would be forced to leave the Cloud World.

Is Gantian Mountain Monster King prepared to rise? Then, what would happen to Gantian Mountain?

Shiyue smiled and asked, ”When he faces his tribulation, there will be a huge battle. Are you willing to follow me to see his greatness?”

Shi Wuji thought about it for a moment and then he nodded his head.

He had no choice now and he did want to see the strongest person in the world...

At this moment, they didn't know that while Shiyue brought Shi Wuji to leave, a person flashed in front of the tomb. It was a 40-year-old Taoist who looked on as they left, with a smile on his face.
