Chapter 356: Her Ninth Grandfather (2/2)

The people in the crowd looked up and exclaimed, “It’s Master Jun!”

“Master Jun is here as well. It seems that the society is treating this sourcebox very seriously.”

“Master Jun is a three star Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker and also a Hunter.”

…

“You felt it?” Master Jun asked Dao Bo.

Dao Bo nodded and respectfully answered, “It’s an indescribable feeling, and I could only feel it vaguely. And when I did, it was too late.”

Master Jun complimented, “You’re truly a genius as far as your domain is concerned. Dao Bo, you’ll soon be able to join the ranks of the Distinguished Five within the society. Keep it up and become an Explorer soon. Then, we’ll have the Distinguished Six of the society.”

Dao Bo bowed and gratefully thanked Master Jun.

The people around them looked at Dao Bo in envy. Not everyone was able to comprehend a domain, and even Master Jun hadn’t managed to achieve such a thing yet. The best time for one to comprehend a domain was while they were young, which was another reason why the younger generation was so important in the universe.

Although there were many geniuses in the Astral Combat Academy, which was the top institute in the Human Domain, not many of the students there were able to comprehend a domain, which went to show how rare this ability was.

Even though Master Jun hadn’t comprehended a domain, Dao Bo didn’t dare to underestimate him. The older man was still a Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker, and he definitely had a Lockbreaking tool that was comparable to possessing a domain.

“Are you going to try?” Master Jun asked Dao Bo.

Everyone turned to look at him.

Dao Bo shook his head. “Master Jun, you think of me too highly. Only a Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker would be able to unlock this tree-shaped sourcebox on their own. I won’t be able to succeed with my current abilities.”

Master Jun nodded happily. “Dao Bo, it’s good that you know your own limits.”

“Brother Dao Bo, if even you can’t do it, who can?” Liu Ji asked unwillingly.

Dao Bo smiled. “I only said that I can’t do it alone. It should be possible if I cooperate with someone else. Let’s wait and see. I’m sure that more experts will join us soon.”

Liu Ji curiously took in her surroundings, and her attention was drawn to someone who was oddly dressed. She stared at the person; it was a wretched old man dressed all in grey and carrying a wooden flag pole. There was a starry sky pattern printed on the back of his robes, and his flag carried the words “Starsibyl’s Ninth Grandfather” on one side and “Fortune Telling—Believe It If You Will” on the other side.

Liu Ji tugged on Dao Bo’s sleeve. “That, that person is weird.”

Dao Bo looked over in surprise. There were a lot of people staring at the old man, and the words on his flag had grabbed everyone’s attention. Everyone knew about Starsibyl, and this man actually dared to call himself Starsibyl’s Ninth Grandfather. At this moment, even Master Jun was looking at the old man in shock.

“Young man, you look energetic and outstanding! You will definitely have a bright future ahead of you! This moment is your opportunity to shine! Don’t be scared! Go ahead! I’ll protect you.” The miserable looking old man proudly patted a young Lockbreaker’s shoulder.

The people in the crowd stared at the interaction in surprise.

“Actually, I still haven’t made any contributions,” the young lockbreaker mumbled shyly.

The old man laughed and casually put his hand on a nearby person before everyone’s eyes. “Young man, I was actually talking about you.”

The young man’s face twitched. “Old man, I’m not a Lockbreaker.”

The old man chuckled and pointed at Master Jun who was in the sky. “Young man, I was talking about you.”

Everyone was struck speechless.

Master Jun was furious, and his gaze turned cold. The air around his body started warping as if he was about to erupt.

At that moment, someone yelled, “I remember now! This old guy is Xuan Jiu! He’s a piece of trash who was thrown out of the Starsibyl Sect.”

The old man immediately became furious. “Who- who dares to slander me? I’m not useless! I managed to learn the Xuantian Art! Who dares to challenge me!?”

After the person called the old man out, more people in the crowd remembered that there had indeed once been a person who resembled this old man. He had become quite famous a few hundred years ago.

Master Jun recalled this person as well, and he suppressed his anger since the old man was still quite close to the Starsibyl Sect despite being chased out. This elder called himself the Ninth Grandfather of all of the Starsibyls, but he still hadn’t been punished by the Starsibyl Sect. This alone showed that this old man wasn’t someone who Master Jun could casually offend.

“What Xuantian Art? Rumor has it that your fortune tellings are always wrong and that anyone who believes you will die!” someone sneered.

Xuan Jiu grew livid, and he wildly waved his flag about. “Who- who dares to insult me?! Come and fight me! You trash! All of you are nothing but trash!”

The people around him just rolled their eyes and ignored him.

“Hey, fortune teller gramps! It’s you! I finally found you!” Lu Yin’s trio arrived at that moment, and Zhao Ran was happily looking at Xuan Jiu. She waved her arm fervently. “Gramps, I’m Rotten Trash! It’s me, it’s me!”
