He Wudi had obtained the Seven Mysterious Radiant Light Breaker Incomplete Scroll One, only to end up being hunted down.

At that time, he had planned to throw it away to save his life, but just as he pulled it out, it vanished into thin air.

With the item gone and unable to explain, he could only continue being hunted.

Hunted from the Southern Heaven Gate to the Western Heaven Gate, from the Eastern Heaven Gate to the Northern Heaven Gate. Finally, with no other option, in desperation he used a divine ability to traverse space.

A high-level account hunted by a group of high-level accounts, finally hunted down to become a zero-level account—looking at He Wudi’s experiences, he absolutely deserved the word ‘tragic’!

The cause of all this was the mysterious disappearance of the Seven Mysterious Radiant Light Breaker!

Now arriving in the mortal realm, joining the Iron Bones Sect, and actually seeing the disappeared incomplete scroll manual in the Cultivation Method Pavilion—He Wudi was completely thunderstruck!

How is it here?

How is it here!

No, wait!

He Wudi carefully observed and discovered the incomplete scroll was brand new, not emanating any profound mysterious aura, so he guessed: “This isn’t the original!”

Could it just be a coincidental duplicate name?

He hurriedly flipped through it, discovering the incantations and circulation methods recorded inside were the same as what he had seen before, so he confirmed: “This must be a copy!”

A martial technique from a higher dimension actually had a copy in the mortal realm—this left He Wudi completely dumbfounded.

“Junior Brother He?”

Li Qingyang said: “Are you alright?”

“I’m… I’m fine.”

He Wudi forcibly calmed himself down, saying: “Senior Brother Li, this manual seems extraordinary. How does our Iron Bones Sect have it?”

Li Qingyang thought his shocked reaction was because the martial technique’s level was too high, so he didn’t pay much attention and explained: “Junior Brother He, our Iron Bones Sect is actually inherited from an ancient great sect.”

“Inherited from an ancient great sect?”

He Wudi was astonished.

Li Qingyang told him everything Jun Changxiao had told him about Aolai Kingdom, Flower-Fruit Mountain, and Iron Bones Mountain.

After learning this, He Wudi fell silent.

No wonder the Iron Bones Sect didn’t have too many disciples but had quite a variety of cultivation methods—it turned out to be an ancient sect.

But the Seven Mysterious Radiant Light Breaker was created by his dimension’s Seven Mysterious Saint Venerable. How could the Iron Bones Sect have it?

Wait!

He Wudi suddenly remembered that the Seven Mysterious Saint Venerable, this great power, didn’t seem to be from his dimension originally, but had ascended from some mortal realm.

“The Iron Bones Sect, inherited from ancient times, has this kind of martial technique. The Seven Mysterious Saint Venerable also ascended—could there be some connection between the two?”

“Senior Brother Li.”

He Wudi inquired: “Where is our Iron Bones Sect’s first sect leader now?”

He had a bold idea!

The Seven Mysterious Saint Venerable was very likely related to the Iron Bones Sect’s first sect leader, or they might even be the same person.

This would perfectly explain why the Iron Bones Sect had a copy of the Seven Mysterious Radiant Light Breaker incomplete scroll!

Li Qingyang shook his head: “Senior Sun who founded the Iron Bones Sect—probably only the sect leader knows his whereabouts.”

This Senior Sun was the Great Sage Equal to Heaven Sun Wukong that Jun Changxiao had made up.

Only the sect leader knows?

He Wudi thought to himself: “I need to go ask.”

……

“Pfft!”

Jun Changxiao, sitting in the great hall, spat out a mouthful of tea, thinking: “He really believes the Iron Bones Sect is an ancient sect, really believes Sun Wukong founded the sect?”

“Little He.”

He put down the teacup, saying: “Is this question very important?”

He Wudi said: “Our Iron Bones Sect has many martial techniques, and this disciple is also very curious about the sect’s past history.”

Jun Changxiao’s brain spun rapidly: “This is the sect’s secret history, but considering you’re my last disciple, telling you is fine.”

He Wudi immediately pricked up his ears.

Jun Changxiao said seriously: “Actually, the first sect leader who founded the Iron Bones Sect, after experiencing eighty-one trials, wearing golden armor and holy robes, riding seven-colored auspicious clouds, ascended to the upper realm. These martial techniques in the sect were also left behind by him.”

Seven-colored clouds, ascending to the upper realm?

Isn’t this perfectly matched with the Seven Mysterious Saint Venerable who controlled seven attributes?

“Indeed!”

He Wudi realized, thinking: “The Great Sage Equal to Heaven who created the Iron Bones Sect and the Seven Mysterious Saint Venerable are the same person. This Xingyun Continent should be his ancestral land where he ascended to the upper realm!”

Jun Changxiao never dreamed that his random nonsensical fabrication could actually match up with the higher dimension’s Seven Mysterious Saint Venerable, and could make this guy confusedly force such a far-fetched interpretation.

……

Returning to his guest room, He Wudi thought for an entire night, his mood growing increasingly excited.

The Seven Mysterious Saint Venerable was an extremely top-tier powerhouse. He had accidentally traversed the void to arrive at the world where the Saint Venerable once lived, and even joined the sect he created—this was complete serendipity!

What serendipity.

This was completely a coincidence, purely coincidental!

“Cultivating here, perhaps in the future I can glimpse higher mysteries and thus break through to the unreachable Saint Venerable Realm!”

The more He Wudi thought about it, the more excited he became, secretly deciding: “I’ll cultivate in the Iron Bones Sect!”

Through numerous coincidences, he became convinced that the Iron Bones Sect was the sect founded by the Seven Mysterious Saint Venerable, the ancestral land for achieving higher power, so his mentality underwent tremendous change.

Leave?

Impossible!

After experiencing memory loss three times and joining the Iron Bones Sect four times, He Wudi finally saw the light and truly integrated himself into it, beginning to cultivate seriously.

Because of the Seven Mysterious Saint Venerable, he even developed reverence toward Sect Leader Jun—after all, this was the current sect master.

If he wanted to glimpse higher martial dao levels in the future, the sect leader might be able to provide quite a bit of help.

Night fell.

“Close the door!”

He Wudi called out loudly, then closed the door, his face wearing a smile, fully immersing himself in the role of last disciple.

“Sect Leader.”

Standing before the great hall, Li Qingyang said in confusion: “Junior Brother He seems very happy.”

Jun Changxiao stood with hands behind his back: “Because he has thoroughly understood what it means to have iron bones clanging.”

“However…”

Li Qingyang said: “If Junior Brother’s strange illness isn’t cured, it could recur.”

“His illness is half caused by inner demons. Once the inner demons are gone, he’ll naturally recover.” Jun Changxiao said.

Speaking of strange illnesses made him think of Xi Jingxuan, and he couldn’t help thinking: “I wonder if first-grade spirit medicine can cure her eye disease?”

“You once said you’d revisit Miao Hua Palace. Once the True Yang Commandery matter is handled, you could go take a look.”

The system said: “Host, why not go now? If you can cure Miao Hua Palace’s palace master’s eye disease, you’ll owe a huge favor. If she knows the Iron Bones Sect is in trouble, she might come to help.”

“This…”

Jun Changxiao pondered briefly: “Why didn’t I think of that?”

Miao Hua Palace was a fourth-tier sect. One first-grade spirit medicine pill, if it could establish good relations with them, would definitely be beneficial with no harm.

Moreover, according to the intelligence he had gathered, Miao Hua Palace was located in a fifth-rank commandery. Although it was a fourth-rank sect like Guiyuan Sect and Duanshui Pavilion, its strength should only be stronger, not weaker.

Jun Changxiao slapped his forehead: “I keep thinking Palace Master Xi is just a woman, completely forgetting that her sect actually has quite a bit of power.”

The system gave him inspiration and put revisiting Miao Hua Palace on the agenda. However, before that, he still needed to make proper arrangements to let the disciples improve their cultivation faster.

No matter how strong Miao Hua Palace was, it was still external power.

To avoid being bullied in the Xingyun Continent, he still needed to rely on himself, on all the disciples.
