#346 - Chapter 356 Punishment, the second person in Fangcun Mountain
"What? He's actually the master of Venerable Du'e!"
"Why haven't we ever heard of such a person?"
Seeing Venerable Du'e perform the disciple's salute, everyone was shocked.
It was the first time they had heard of Venerable Du'e's master.
Within the Immortal Realm, apart from a very small number of beings who knew that Dao Ancestor Bodhi was the founder of the Celestial Academy, the remaining beings, including the higher-ups of the Celestial Academy, were unaware.
Therefore, the strength displayed by the Celestial Academy was far lower than its actual strength.
After all, most of the strong individuals were hidden in Mount Fangcun within the Bodhi Great World.
"Master... are you saying he's Grand-Uncle Master?"
Venerable Du'e looked at Jiang Ning in disbelief.
At this moment, Venerable Jiuyan respectfully saluted Jiang Ning.
"Grand-Uncle Master, my master is the eldest disciple of the Ancestral Master and was specially ordered to come and welcome you."
"He's actually my Grandmaster's Grand-Uncle Master?"
"Heavens... how is this possible?"
At this moment, Gu Qingfeng was completely dumbfounded.
He was in a daze, trembling with fear.
Everyone else also felt it was unbelievable.
Venerable Du'e's master actually called Jiang Ning Grand-Uncle Master.
No wonder he's so strong at such a young age; he has an immense background behind him.
"Thank you for your trouble," Jiang Ning nodded.
Dao Ancestor Bodhi's eldest disciple was Yi Zu.
A top-tier Dao Ancestor who was comparable to the Ghost Master.
"Grand-Uncle Master is too polite; this is what I should do."
Immediately, his eyes turned cold, and he turned his gaze to Venerable Du'e.
"How dare you be so bold as to try to exchange Grand-Uncle Master's life for a reward."
"Today, I, as your master, must teach you a good lesson!"
In the sky, nine clusters of flames appeared, each a different color.
Then, they formed a flame cage, imprisoning Venerable Du'e.
Although both were at the peak of the Heavenly Venerable realm, there was still a significant difference in combat power between them.
With Venerable Jiuyan's strength, he could subdue Venerable Du'e within ten moves.
Therefore, even if Venerable Du'e wanted to resist, he didn't have the strength to do so.
"For the sake of our master-disciple relationship, I will not take your life but send you to the Burning Flame Prison for a million years."
Venerable Du'e said coldly.
"No... Master, you can't imprison me in the Burning Flame Prison; just kill me!"
"Ahhh~"
Venerable Du'e screamed miserably.
In the Burning Flame Prison, one would experience the pain of burning the heart every day.
Even Heavenly Venerables at their peak could not withstand this kind of pain.
Faced with a million years of endless torment, he would rather die.
"It's not up to you to bargain."
Venerable Jiuyan flicked his sleeve and directly stored the Burning Flame Prison into the void.
Jiang Ning did not object to this.
He still had to give him this face.
Venerable Du'e was Venerable Jiuyan's disciple, so he would leave it to him to deal with.
"The root of the trouble started with you, so let it end with you as well."
After punishing Venerable Du'e, Venerable Jiuyan looked coldly at Gu Qingfeng.
If he hadn't caused trouble, his disciple Venerable Du'e wouldn't have taken action.
Wasn't this his own disciple? How could he not feel heartache?
But, Jiang Ning was his Grand-Uncle Master, so he had to punish Venerable Du'e.
Therefore, he vented all his resentment on Gu Qingfeng.
"Ah~"
Gu Qingfeng was startled and quickly begged for mercy, "Grandfather, please spare my life!"
However, Venerable Jiuyan didn't listen to his pleas and directly attacked.
With one palm, he reduced Gu Qingfeng to ashes.
This scene frightened everyone, and they trembled.
"Grand-Uncle Master, please!"
"My Ancestral Master has been waiting for you for a long time."
Venerable Jiuyan said with a smile.
"Mm," Jiang Ning nodded.
...
Not long after, Jiang Ning reappeared in the Crescent Moon Cave.
Now, he could be considered the number two figure in the Celestial Academy, the Fangcun Mountain lineage.
The Grand-Uncle Master of countless Immortal Emperors and Heavenly Venerable-level powerhouses.
Including Yi Zu, Dao Ancestor Danqing... all had to respectfully listen to Jiang Ning.
The Fangcun Mountain lineage had been lying low in the Bodhi Great World, surviving countless great tribulations.
In the accumulation of long years.
This lineage was ridiculously powerful.
Although Dao Ancestor Qinglian had died, there were still three Dao Ancestors: Dao Ancestor Bodhi, Yi Zu, and Dao Ancestor Danqing.
Three Dao Lords in one sect—what a powerful force this was.
Beneath them, there were countless Heavenly Venerable experts.
Immortal Emperor experts were as numerous as hairs.
Even those Heavenly Venerables who had reached the edge of proving the Dao exceeded twenty.
This was the terrifying foundation of the Fangcun Mountain lineage.
"Jiang Ning."
Seeing Jiang Ning again, Wang Youning looked happy.
At this time, he had become his master's junior brother.
He no longer had to worry that Dao Ancestor Bodhi would attack his lover.
"Hahaha, Junior Brother, you are the first person since the beginning of chaos to ring the Bell of the Great Dao; even I, as your senior brother, am powerless to do so."
"In the future, you will undoubtedly be the strongest in the Immortal Realm."
Dao Ancestor Bodhi laughed.
"My master's monstrous level is something you cannot believe."
Huang Quan proudly raised his head.
After all, this was his master.
The stronger the master, the more honor he naturally felt.
"Senior Brother, you are too kind," Jiang Ning smiled slightly.
The strongest in the Immortal Realm?
For Jiang Ning, who had a cheat, this was too simple.
It was not the goal he was pursuing.
Transcending the Immortal Realm and achieving true eternal life was Jiang Ning's pursuit.
"Junior Brother, although my Fangcun Mountain lineage has many rules, you are their elder, so naturally, you don't need to follow many of them."
"However, there is one that you must follow."
Dao Ancestor Bodhi said.
Jiang Ning's status naturally did not require him to adhere to as many rules as other disciples.
"Senior Brother, please speak," Jiang Ning nodded.
When one arrived on someone else's territory, one naturally had to abide by some rules, which was understandable.
"Without my permission, you cannot reveal news of Fangcun Mountain, let alone bring outsiders into the Bodhi Great World."
Dao Ancestor Bodhi said.
Obviously, he wanted the entire Immortal Realm to forget about Fangcun Mountain.
This would completely sever karma and allow them to safely lie low in the Bodhi Great World.
As the oldest Dao Ancestor, Bodhi had personally witnessed the fall of countless powerful chaotic beings.
He had become completely frightened and would lie low on Fangcun Mountain for the rest of his life.
He had taken the art of "lying low" to the extreme.
In comparison, Jiang Ning's "lying low" was too weak.
"The path of cultivation is full of difficulties and obstacles; one careless move can lead to death."
"Junior Brother, the road is long, so be careful and avoid getting involved in too much karma."
Dao Ancestor Bodhi said earnestly.
"Senior Brother, I understand."
Jiang Ning nodded.
If he didn't have a cheat, Jiang Ning would naturally lie low to protect his life.
But with a cheat, he didn't pay too much attention to the obstacles on the path of cultivation.
When his strength was insufficient, he would lie low and improve.
When his strength was sufficient, he would kill gods when he met gods and Buddhas when he met Buddhas.
No one could stop his path.
Subsequently, Dao Ancestor Boxu bestowed a cave dwelling upon Jiang Ning on Fangcun Mountain.
After Jiang Ning thanked him, he left the Crescent Moon Cave with Wang Youning.
PS: Brothers, some people think this is a Primordial novel.
It's not! It's not! It's not!
It's just that I found some mythological figures and adapted them as prototypes.
It has nothing to do with Primordial novels!
