Genius Daddy in the City

Chapter 859: The Three Great Immortal Mountains Overseas!

In Xiao clan’s residence, on a large plaza, seeing Yuan Qitai and the other two in the cage, many sects who had come to offer their blessings began to whisper among themselves. Even the people seated among the ten high sects frowned slightly.

In the end, it was Elder Phecda from Star Sect who stood up and said, “Brother Xiao, why are you showing us these people?”

Yue Kun, who was standing behind him, sneered, “The three people in the cage are as weak as ants. I really don’t know what the Xiao clan is planning.”

Faced with everyone’s doubts, Xiao clan’s patriarch raised his hand slightly and waited for everyone to quiet down before saying, “Does everyone still remember the ghost ship from more than a hundred years ago?”

As soon as he said that, the entire plaza was in an uproar. The Star Sect’s Elder Phecda and the other members of the high sect were even more shocked.

More than a hundred years ago, an ancient ship appeared on the Wu River. At that time, it was the Xiao clan who discovered the middle-aged couple on the ancient ship, so they reported it to the ten high sects of the Kunlun Ruins.

Powerhouses from the ten high sects and even the entire Kunlun Ruins came out to fight the powerhouses on the ancient ship. Many people died at that time.

The various sects in the Kunlun Ruins also benefited from this, such as cultivation techniques, ancient books, medicinal pills, and so on.

Since then, after the middle-aged couple died and turned the ancient ship into a ghost ship, it was slowly forgotten by everyone.

Even though the ghost ship appeared once every 20 years, many organizations remained silent. Only the 12 ancient clans, including the Xiao clan, did not give up and sent people to investigate every time.

One of the sect masters frowned and said, “This is old news. Why did Brother Xiao bring it up?”

“Have you not wondered where the middle-aged couple on the ancient ship came from?”

Xiao clan’s patriarch smiled faintly, “Why are there so many cultivation techniques, ancient books, and medicinal pills on the ancient ship? Aren’t many forces here relying on these things to strengthen themselves?”

Many people fell into deep thought.

In fact, when they destroyed the middle-aged couple on the ship, they had also investigated where the ship came from. Who were they?

Unfortunately, they found nothing.

For a moment, someone seemed to have guessed the meaning behind Xiao clan’s patriarch’s words and could not help asking, “Brother Xiao, what do you mean?”

Swoosh…

Numerous gazes shot towards the patriarch.

Under the gazes of everyone present, the patriarch took a deep breath in and said slowly, “Truth be told, my Xiao clan has been investigating the secrets of the ancient ship for so many years, and we’ve finally found out that the ancient ship might’ve come from the three legendary immortal mountains!”

“What?”

As his voice fell, everyone in the plaza was shocked. Even the people from the ten high sects were shocked.

The ancient books of the Kunlun Ruins recorded that there were three great immortal mountains–Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingtai.

The three immortal mountains were inhabited by immortals, and there were countless immortal spells. There was an immortal spring on the immortal mountain, and mortals would be able to live forever after drinking a mouthful of it. They would be able to regain their youth and even possess the roots of the earth. If mortals ate one, they would be able to ascend to heaven and become immortals.

Since ancient times, the emperors of the dynasties had been secretly searching for the three immortal mountains. Even the Kunlun Ruins was no exception.

Even though they possessed abilities that surpassed mortals and were almost like gods, they were not gods or immortals. They could not escape the pain of reincarnation.

A green clothed old man stood up from the Sword Sect’s seat, and his expression was slightly excited, “Brother Xiao, are you sure about this?”

He was already in such a state, let alone the other members of the nine high sects. They were all stunned by the words of the Xiao clan’s patriarch and had already forgotten the purpose of their visit.

Under the numerous gazes, the patriarch put away the smile on his face and said seriously, “This old man dares to guarantee with my life that it’s true!”

Whoosh…

The entire place was in an uproar. If this news was true, it would shock the entire Kunlun Ruins.

“Think about it, everyone. The middle-aged couple on the ancient ship. Back then, our Kunlun Ruins sent out three Emperor Stage cultivators, but they were still no match for them!”

The patriarch surveyed the crowd before proceeding, “If not for the fact that they were seriously injured and poisoned by us, not to mention three Emperor Stage cultivators, even thirty of us wouldn’t have been their match.”

At this point, he took a deep breath in, “Everyone, think about that old madman and that little girl who walked out of the ancient ship 20 years ago!”

Everyone fell silent. The eyes of the people from the ten high sects flickered. They would never forget what had happened 20 years ago.

Twenty years ago, when the ghost ship reappeared, an old madman came out with a little girl. Back then, Kunlun Ruins found out that these two were the owners of the ancient ship.

That was why the Kunlun Ruins had once again sent out their powerhouses in an attempt to eradicate this threat. They had never expected that the old madman would suddenly display his might. In his presence, Emperor Stage cultivators were as weak as ants.

If the other party had not gone mad and suddenly disappeared, the Kunlun Ruins would have been doomed.

“Let’s not talk about that crazy old man’s god-like abilities. Such a powerful person is actually just a servant of the ancient ship master!”

The patriarch continued, “The strangest thing is that little girl. Over a hundred years ago, when we killed our way into the ancient ship, she was around four or five years old. Now, over a hundred years later, she’s still around four or five years old. She doesn’t show any signs of aging.”

His gaze focused as he looked at the people, “Everyone, think about it. If she isn’t from the three immortal mountains, how can she escape aging with time?”

“That’s right. Now that I think about it, I can’t help but suspect that the middle-aged couple on the ancient ship over 100 years ago are very likely immortals from the immortal mountain!”

A powerhouse from a sect stepped forward and said with absolute certainty, “And that little girl must be a descendant of an immortal, possessing the bloodline of an immortal!”

A powerhouse on the Dao Sect’s seat stood up and said, “Even so, we still find it hard to believe that the ancient ship came from the three great immortal mountains!”

Many people agreed with him.

The Xiao clan’s patriarch smiled faintly and said, “Just half a month ago, the ghost ship appeared. Many people from the 12 ancient clans stepped onto it. On the ghost ship, an ant from the mortal world was sent into the black fog.”

Hearing those words, Luo Shuiyao’s expression changed. She had already guessed who the patriarch was talking about.

Someone cried out in alarm, “He was sent into the black fog? Looks like he’s dead for sure!”

“That’s right. The black fog can devour a person’s flesh and blood. Even an Emperor Stage cultivator wouldn’t be able to withstand it!” The others nodded in fear.

“No!”

The patriarch suddenly shook his head and said, “At that time, we also thought that this person would definitely die. Unexpectedly, seven days later, not only did this person not die, he even came back alive!”

“What?”

Many people were shocked.

“Before he went missing, he was only a peak martial venerable!”

A look of resentment flashed across the patriarch’s eyes as he threw out another shocking piece of news, “But this person returned a few days later and stepped into the Emperor Stage!”
