Chapter 238: Chapter 128: Our Ancestral Master, One of the Ten Celestial Pillars? Feathered Transformation’s First Scroll Complete, Body Refined Like Lapis Lazuli

"This way, no matter how lofty Young Master Bai Shuo’s background was, he could still tell his disciple, ’Don’t be envious, my boy. Our ancestors also passed down a legacy. You’re no worse than him!’"

And just as the Cangming Monarch expected.

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiu was indeed deeply moved.

"The Ten Pillars of Great Xuan, the Sword Dao Ancestral Court... Master, did our Ancestral Master truly come from there?"

"Does that mean our School might have some fragments or remnants left behind?!"

Although rumor had it that the Sword Dao Ancestral Court had long since fallen apart, for a behemoth of that scale, even if it was gone, if even a little something had trickled down...

...it would be enough for others to benefit from it endlessly!

Ji Xiu couldn’t help but rub his hands together, his heart itching with anticipation.

Seeing his reaction, Duan Chenzhou gazed toward the gate of the Celestial Blade Style.

"This is why I once told you to find time to come to the mansion, to look for your senior brother Qin Zhuo and meet your martial uncle, the Sect Leader Chen Hex."

"Only after being registered can one enter the Ancestral Hall."

"Let’s go."

"I..."

"...will take you to see it for yourself!"

"Flood Dragon Monarch, might you be able to oblige us?"

The Cangming Monarch’s face twitched.

’My entire Flood Dragon self has been bound to Anning Pier by the golden words of Young Master Bai Shuo, left at Ji Xiu’s beck and call.’

’You’re his Master. Wherever you want to go... how could he not obey?’

’What’s more, you’re doing this to get him benefits!’

While replying, he rode the wind and parted the waves, heading in the direction Duan Chenzhou had indicated.

All the while, the Cangming Monarch’s heart was filled with envy.

’Good heavens.’

’How is this Boss Ji, who came from some remote county, so damn lucky!’

’A Young Master Dragon Descendant from the Water Monarch’s Mansion favors him, going so far as to reveal his identity and turn me, a Great Flood Dragon, to serve at his command.’

’He casually finds a Master, and it turns out his lineage has such a grand history. If you trace it back, even if they’ve declined, they’re actually connected to the Sword Dao Ancestral Court, one of the Ten Pillars of Great Xuan—the top powers in the world a jiazi ago!’

’At this point, even if you told me this young master was the long-lost illegitimate son of some Giant House’s Clan Leader...’

’...I, Master Flood Dragon, wouldn’t be the least bit surprised.’

As for Ji Xiu, he watched the Flood Dragon cleave through the sea, drawing ever closer to the island stronghold of the Celestial Blade Style.

He held the Thunderstruck Tribulation Wood from its box in his hands. He glanced at his Primordial Daoist Talisman, seeing that the "Advance Quota" was already full...

After a moment’s thought, he took it out and gripped it tightly!

Then, just as they were about to reach the gate of the Celestial Blade Style, he shoved it into his mouth and, as if chewing a wax candle, swallowed it raw!

The series of actions was so fluid and seamless that Duan Chenzhou, who was standing beside him, was utterly stunned.

"Disciple, you..."

As for Ji Xiu, his Qi and Blood were already surging. His breathing grew heavy, and as he digested the Earth Treasure, the Thunderstruck Tribulation Wood, wisps of white Qi began to pour from his nostrils.

The immense Force within his bones and blood was instantly roused. A series of CRACKLES and POPS, like the FZZT of electric currents, erupted from within his sinews and bones, surging toward his extremities and Skin Membrane...

BANG!

Ji Xiu’s jade-like tendons and full muscles, powered by the circulation of his Blood Marrow, bulged like coiling pythons and flood dragons, together supporting that thin layer of Jade Skin!

Immediately, a SSSKKKRRTCHING sound arose.

Ji Xiu’s teeth, his toenails...

...were being constantly scoured and refined by a new, nascent medicinal power!

Facing Duan Chenzhou’s astonishment,

Ji Xiu gritted his teeth.

"Master, as the saying goes, ’It’s not about the prize, it’s about our pride’!"

"You haven’t returned to the School in so long..."

"No matter what, I, your disciple, have to help you gain some face!"

"If I can cultivate the Jade Skin, and our martial uncle, Sect Leader Chen Hex, sees it, won’t that prove that you’re a worthy Master!?"

Hearing this, Duan Chenzhou was visibly moved.

"Kid, you..."

"...You’re very thoughtful."

Seeing the gratified look on his master’s face,

Ji Xiu opened his mouth, spat out a mouthful of murky blood mixed with fragments of his old teeth, and smiled, revealing two rows of clean, neat, glaze-colored Celestial Jade Teeth.

[Tutor has consumed the Earth Treasure ’Thunderstruck Tribulation Wood’. It conforms to the Glazed Scroll’s requirement for an Earth Treasure that is ’endlessly regenerating and eternally incorruptible’. Absorbing its ’Essence’. Advance progress has greatly increased...]

[Tutor has shed and regrown his toenails. First regeneration. ’Glazed Scroll’ progress +247!]

[Tutor has shed and regrown his Jade Teeth. Second regeneration. ’Glazed Scroll’ progress +266...]

[Tutor...]

...

Until the moment the Flood Dragon came ashore, and he stepped onto the island...

Ji Xiu took a step forward. The great sun hung high in the sky, its light splashing down upon him.

It made his skin glisten with a jade-like luster, as if draped in a Dharma robe, making him resemble a Celestial Human!

[Glazed Scroll: (1000/1000)!]

[Body refined like glazed glass, like the moon, like a stone, where the years leave no trace.]

’Master.’

’Just for what you said earlier...’

’I, your disciple, would have fought for this pride even if it killed me!’

’This Ancestral Hall... I absolutely must pay my respects!’
