Eternal Strongest Sect - Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Ancient Sect

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Millman97

Li Qingyang was the number one genius in the hearts of the various sects. The lowest estimation of his future cultivation base was at the Martial King Realm.

As for the Iron Bones Sect, it was a joke in the hearts of everyone. Maybe it would disperse tomorrow, becoming an insignificant granule of sand in history.

The number one genius and the most rubbish sect—the distance between the two was over 108,000 miles!

Yet, no one expected that Li Qingyang would stop before the Iron Bones Sect Leader and take the initiative to speak!

For a time, the gaze of everyone was focused on Jun Changxiao. All of them were silently musing why this newbie sect leader had the capability to make a genius take the initiative to come over and speak with him.

The smiles on the faces of the deacon of the Long Blade Sect and disciple of the Tiger Roar Sect had frozen.

The number one genius in Qingyang City did not even glance at them. Yet, he was standing beside the sect leader of a trash sect and speaking with him.

Was this a dream?

Deacon Sun lifted his hands and pinched his face ruthlessly. A moment later, he felt the pain.

It was not a dream; it was real!

Li Qingyang, who had a high-grade spirit root and had rejected the invitation of a fifth-grade sect, was really speaking with the Iron Bones Sect Leader!

“Not bad.” Jun Changxiao smiled. “I’m indeed the sect leader of the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect.”

Everyone snorted disdainfully.

Just the leader of a rubbish sect, where in the world did he get the confidence to introduce himself calmly before such a genius?

And what was wrong with Young Master Li?

He actually took the initiative to converse with Jun Changxiao in public? Was he not afraid that this action might damage his status as the number one genius?

In the eyes of the various sects, the Iron Bones Sect was simply rubbish. Since it was rubbish, it should obediently exist in a rubbish bin placed in the corner. It should not become the target of attention that everyone focused on.

To put it bluntly, this was jealousy.

Why did the lofty genius not want to speak to them but choose to speak to rubbish?

Li Qingyang clasped his hands. There was an ashamed expression on his face. “Earlier in the wilderness, because I was in a rush to return home, I left without saying thanks. It was truly rude of me to do so. I beg for your forgiveness, sect leader.”

Ga!

The cultivators of the various sects became stupefied again.

Even Lu Qianqian at the side had a face filled with astonishment.

It was very hard to imagine that the most outstanding genius of a city would apologize to a sect leader of a ninth-grade sect. In addition, it was done in public. Was Li Qingyang’s brain damaged?

Just look, just look.

Being kind pays off after all!

Jun Changxiao smiled radiantly. All his jittery feelings from before vanished like smoke in thin air.

He shrugged and had a casual expression on his face. “Young Master Li, that was just a minor matter. If you didn’t mention it, this seat would have already forgotten about it.”

“…” Lu Qianqian clearly remembered that her sect leader had still been whispering about the matter to her earlier. Before, you said, ‘He is just a character with high-grade spirit root, yet has no moral standing. I look down on these people!’

Li Qingyang smiled. “Can you describe the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect to me?”

What?

The eyes of the cultivators from the various sects almost popped out.

The number one genius of Qingyang City wanted to hear more about the Iron Bones Sect? Could he intend to join it?

The disciple of the Tiger Roar Sect had an extremely unsightly expression on his face. After all, in order to ridicule Jun Changxiao earlier, he had intentionally proposed a bet.

What was the bet?

He had bet that when the Hundred Sects Recruitment began, no one would consult the Iron Bones Sect.

What about now?

Not only was there someone coming to make inquiries, that person was the number one genius of Qingyang City, Li Qingyang!

The sound of his face getting smacked was loud indeed.

Ding!

“Side mission triggered!”

Just when everyone was stunned, the sound of the system notification rang out in his ear.

He hurriedly pulled out the mission interface and saw a side mission.

“Explain the glorious history of the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect and convinced the number one genius of Qingyang City to join.”

Convincing Li Qingyang to join? Jun Changxiao could still accept this mission, but what the hell was the part about explaining the glorious history of the sect‽

It was a sect that had not been established for long.

It was a low-grade sect with only two members.

What glorious history?

Could the system want him to speak about the most ‘glorious history’ that was their previous sect leader being executed due to a failed attempt to escape prison?

This side mission was completely unreliable.

Although Jun Changxiao felt like collapsing, in order to complete the mission and gain contribution points, his mind started to spin rapidly.

Although the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect did not have a glorious history, he could weave one himself!

After some contemplation, Jun Changxiao spoke. “Young Master Li, in the eyes of the secular world… my Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect is undoubtedly an unranked sect at the very bottom.”

Everyone snorted coldly in disdain collectively.

Since this fellow knew this, why was he so thick-skinned as to come and participate in the Hundred Sects Recruitment?

“However…” Jun Changxiao’s expression suddenly became serious. “In truth, my Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect was once an ancient sect with a long history and deep foundation!”

“Ancient Sect?”

“Hahaha, stop joking around!”

“It is clearly a sect that was casually established. He actually said that it’s an ancient sect? This fellow’s brain is clearly problematic!”

The cultivators from the various sects laughed mockingly.

Lu Qianqian, who was standing behind him, had black lines on her face.

How thick-skinned did the sect leader have to be to say that the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect was an ancient sect? How much courage did he need to accomplish this?

Li Qingyang seemed to be engrossed. “Can you explain in detail?”

“…”

The lips of everyone twitched.

Could it be that the number one genius of Qingyang City had a problem with his brain too? Was that why he was willing to listen to this fellow speaking nonsense?

That should be the case. That had to be the case.

Why would a normal person reject the invitation of a fifth-grade sect and go to inquire about the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect instead?

“Young Master Li,” Jun Changxiao said, “have you heard of the Eastern Sea before?”

Li Qingyang nodded. “Yes.

There was a huge ocean on the eastern side of the Fallen Star Continent. There were countless sea creatures within. It was an extremely dangerous zone.

Jun Changxiao said, “At the end of the Eastern Sea, there’s a country named the country Aolai. Have Young Master Li heard of it before?”

“Aolai?” Li Qingyang shook his head. “I’ve only heard of the Eastern Sea before from books, but I have not visited it in person. Hence, I don’t know about the existence of that country.”

Let alone him, even the elder of the Azure Mountain Sect that was present here probably had not heard of Aolai before.

“There are two divine mountains in Aolai,” Jun Changxiao explained. “The first mountain is known as Flowerfruit Mountain, and the second is known as Iron Bones Mountain. Our Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect originated from Iron Bones Mountain. The first-generation sect leader was named Sun Wukong. His celestial title is the Great Sage Equal to Heavens!”

He decided to weave his story using the information from Journey to the West!

Although things were a little awkward, the cultivators of the Fallen Star Continent had not heard of this before. Hence, they could not help but be swayed as they became distracted.

There were even people silently musing whether there really was a country called Aolai and an Iron Bones Mountain?

“A load of nonsense!” At this moment, the elder from the Azure Mountain Sect walked over. “The Eastern Sea is filled with extreme danger. Even martial emperors don’t dare enter its depths, and the records of this world have never mentioned anything about this Aolai before, let alone Iron Bones Mountain!”

“Right, that’s right!”

“I’ve been reading books since I was young, and I am very familiar with astronomy and geography. I’ve never heard of an Aolai or an Iron Bones Mountain in the Eastern Sea!”

“This fellow is evidently weaving a story!”

“Despicable, does he think of us as three-year-olds?”

Everyone felt their intelligence was insulted and was extremely angered.

“Old fellow,” Jun Changxiao calmly said, “I can only say that your understanding of the Fallen Star Continent is nil. You are completely ignorant.”

“…”

The lips of everyone twitched.

A newbie at the Meridian Opening Realm actually said that the elder of the Azure Mountain Sect was completely ignorant!

“Good! Good!” The elder of the Azure Mountain Sect suppressed his anger as he coldly spoke. “This old man is ignorant. In that case, I really wish to ask Sect Leader Jun about this. Who is the Sun Wukong you speak of? Where did he learn his skills?”

Weaving a story?

I will continue to probe then and wait for you to make mistakes!
