Chapter 1457 - 1461: Incarnation?

The gaze of the Boundless Taoist moved from Shangguan Ming'Er's face to Murong Qingling's face, then to Leng Feifei's face.

Finally, it settled on Yun Hao.

Looking at Yun Hao's face, unfamiliar yet familiar, and sensing his unique aura.

In that moment, countless memories flooded into the Boundless Taoist's mind.

"I didn't expect you to come back after all!"

The Boundless Taoist stared at Yun Hao for a long time, speaking softly with a trace of excitement in his voice.

This kind of excitement was not typical for the Boundless Taoist.

Though he was not as cold as Leng Feifei, he rarely displayed such an excited expression over anything.

Upon hearing the Boundless Taoist's words, the gaze of the three people, including Shangguan Ming'Er, also focused on Yun Hao.

They couldn't understand why the Boundless Taoist would say such words to Yun Hao.

However, Yun Hao merely smiled faintly in response to the Boundless Taoist's words, without saying anything.

"Thousands of years ago you were the same way, when you taught me martial arts, when you taught me array knowledge, even when you expelled me from the sect, you were still the same!"

It seemed that the Boundless Taoist had already anticipated Yun Hao's silent smile, as he spoke softly, his eyes fixed on Yun Hao.

"I know who you are, you're Yun Hao, the Celestial Venerable Asura who severed Su Hongling's arm and promised her revenge!"

All of a sudden, Murong Qingling, who had been pondering Yun Hao's identity, pointed at him and exclaimed, with disbelief flashing in her beautiful eyes!

"Su Hongling is one of your avatars?"

Yun Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Murong Qingling in front of him and asked softly.

"Yes, she is one of my avatars!"

Murong Qingling nodded seriously and said to Yun Hao.

"Please tell Su Hongling that I have avenged her!"

Yun Hao shook his head and replied to Murong Qingling.

When Su Hongling died, he suspected that she might be the avatar of a powerful being.

He didn't expect to encounter her in the Immortal Realm first, and as an avatar of the top-ranked warrior on the celestial battle list.

Upon hearing Yun Hao's words, Murong Qingling was briefly stunned, and then nodded slightly to Yun Hao.

"Master, it has been a long time since we last met. Did you return this time to retrieve the treasure and inheritance you left behind?"

The Boundless Taoist ignored Yun Hao and Murong Qingling's exchange, and after they had finished speaking, he looked at Yun Hao and smiled.

Master?

The Boundless Taoist's master?

Shangguan Ming'Er and the other two were shocked as they looked at Yun Hao.

Rumor has it that the Boundless Taoist's master was the Emperor Xiu Yun, who shook the universe.

Could it be...

Could the Yun Hao before them be the Emperor Xiu Yun of those years?

Impossible!

Yun Hao only has late-stage Ninth Grade cultivation, albeit with remarkable expertise in arrays.

But that hardly matches the powerful Emperor Xiu Yun, who made all mighty fighters pale in fear.

"You have mistaken me, but it seems that the treasure and inheritance are no longer here!"

Yun Hao denied being Emperor Xiu Yun and then spoke to the Boundless Taoist opposite him.

From the Boundless Taoist's own words and the feedback Yun Hao just discerned from observation.

The Boundless Taoist had already reached the Third-Layer Divine Realm cultivation.

Even if he used secret techniques to absorb disciples from various sects, it would be impossible to break through to the Third-Layer Divine Realm.

Thus, there was only one explanation.

The Boundless Taoist obtained the inheritance Yun Hao left behind, and it should have been acquired not long ago, not yet fully refined.

Otherwise, it would certainly surpass the current Third-Layer Divine Realm and reach the Fifth-Layer Divine Realm.

"Regardless of whether you admit it or whether others still recognize you, I will always remember you. After all, you were the one who helped me go further, breaking the Ninth Grade limitation and reaching the Divine Realm!"

"All these arrays were taught to me by you back then. I thought I would always be by your side as my master, but I didn't expect you to expel me from the sect!"

"Of course, I should thank you. Otherwise, I might have perished alongside you back then. Look at me now, my cultivation has reached the Third-Layer Divine Realm, and across the entire Immortal Realm, there are only a handful of people who can stand against me!"

The Boundless Taoist's eyes flickered with a shadowy glare as he spoke, looking at Yun Hao as if he had a deep-seated feud.

"If Xiu Yun hadn't considered your decent talent and liked you as a disciple, when you violated sect rules by killing your junior brother in a struggle for a junior sister, you wouldn't have merely been expelled from the sect; you would have been killed!"

Yun Hao looked softly at the Boundless Taoist and said.

If back then he hadn't seen that the other party had considerable talent, expulsion from the sect wouldn't have been the only outcome.

If he had known earlier that the other party would steal the inheritance he left behind, Yun Hao would have surely killed him then.

Listening to Yun Hao's words, Shangguan Ming'Er and the other two, even if dense, could guess that the Yun Hao in front of them might truly be the legendary Emperor Xiu Yun!

Yet, the three of them had different expressions.

Murong Qingling's expression was slightly complex, not expecting that the man entangled with her avatar Su Hongling would be the famed Emperor Xiu Yun.

Shangguan Ming'Er looked at Yun Hao, with a trace of melancholy in her beautiful eyes.

Is this wooden block indeed the Emperor Xiu Yun?

But this wooden block's cultivation is not that high either.

Only Leng Feifei, upon discovering that Yun Hao might be Emperor Xiu Yun, had a moment of excitement in her beautiful eyes.

Emperor Xiu Yun's proficiency in arrays was top-notch, even across the entire Immortal Realm.

Even the master of breaking arrays might not necessarily surpass him.

If she could always learn arrays under Emperor Xiu Yun's tutelage, her achievements in arrays would progress significantly in a short time!

"Don't overthink it, I am not Emperor Xiu Yun, merely one of his avatars!"

Yun Hao sensed the changes in the three women's expressions and softly replied.

An avatar?

That's more like it!

They guessed that Emperor Xiu Yun shouldn't be so weak, right?

But the Boundless Taoist opposite, upon hearing Yun Hao's claim, and hearing Yun Hao say that he was merely an avatar of Emperor Xiu Yun, the killing intent in his eyes grew even stronger!

If Yun Hao were truly Emperor Xiu Yun, he would have some reservations.

After all, Emperor Xiu Yun had many friends in the Immortal Realm and even in higher celestial realms.

Moreover, Emperor Xiu Yun's divine power was exceedingly terrifying.
