Volume 1 Chapter 167 Fourth Position

  About the old man of the ancient relic, his identity is naturally a strong one from the Divine Bridge Realm. Otherwise, how could he be so entangled with himself in the ancient relic? However, as for the other party's true situation, Jiang Xiaoyu wasn't particularly clear about it. Looking at the people around him, they seemed to not recognize this old man either.

  "Who is this guy? Why does he look so unfamiliar, could it be that he's just been promoted to Shen Qiao?"

  "No, look at the spiritual energy circulating around his body, this is absolutely not an ordinary Divine Bridge cultivator!"

  Everyone was shocked and uncertain, the other party appeared too suddenly, they had no perception at all before! What does this mean? The old man's strength is not simple, and he even has the qualifications to sit in the second layer!

  Zhao Wenshi had also walked in at this moment, and upon seeing the old man, he smiled lightly and said: "Brother Cao Hua being able to attend this grand gathering is truly an unexpected delight!"

  "A great calamity is approaching, why should we cultivators hide our heads and show our tails? It's time to stand up!" The old man's face was serious and very solemn. Compared with the people Jiang Xiaoyu knew before, his temperament was completely on a different level!

  Isn't it the same person? Jiang Xiaoyu was slightly surprised and didn't dare to believe. But in this world, are there two people who look exactly alike? Even if they were close brothers, there would still be some differences. However, the appearance of the person in front of him was too similar to that old man from the ancient relic! Even their style of dressing was identical! The only difference was their temperament!

  "Zao Hua... Zao Hua True Person?" Jiang Xiao Yu's heart couldn't help but feel surprised. If he wasn't mistaken, that should be the third strongest person in the world! But previously, when he had fought with Old Man in the ancient ruins, it seemed like his opponent shouldn't have such strong abilities? However, now the Old Man was unfathomable, and Jiang Xiao Yu couldn't see through to his depths. Could it be that during this period of time, his opponent had made some kind of breakthrough?

  For the time being, Jiang Xiaoyu didn't think much about it and decided to wait and see.

  "Zao Hua brother's great righteousness!" Zhao Wen Shi looked at the other party and exclaimed in surprise: "Looking at Zao Hua brother's appearance, it seems that he is no longer in the Shen Qiao realm?"

  "It was just a lucky break, and I managed to cut off one of them." The True Person of Creation laughed. To be able to make a breakthrough in cutting off the heavenly bridge requires an extremely great opportunity and fate. Being able to reach this step naturally feels delightful.

  Everyone finally felt relieved, no wonder they would give people a profound and mysterious feeling, it turned out to be a Cutting Path cultivator! However, this top ten ranking in the world was from very early on, if redefined now, there will be great changes.

  "Zao Hua brother, please sit on the second floor!" Zhao Wen Shi said with a smile.

  He glanced at the people above the second floor, and the creator nodded slightly, then found a place to sit down. Those who can sit on the second floor are, after all, cultivators of the Severing Dao realm, or existences at the peak of Shenqiao! Otherwise, they would not be qualified to sit on the second floor.

  But even the newly emerged Jinhua True Person does not have the qualifications to sit in one of the four positions on the first floor, so who is this fourth position prepared for? Many people are puzzled, and some look at the four empty seats with interest, waiting for their master's arrival.

  Only Zhao Wenshi stood in the center of the grand hall, smiled at the monks around him and said: "Today, everyone can come over to give face. It is an honor for Zhao! This time, it is a grand event organized by Shi Huang and others. The purpose of this meeting, I suppose everyone already knows, we are tacitly understood. Here, I won't waste too much words with you all."

  "Shi Huang, Yuan Zhang and Shan Zhu will arrive soon, let's eat and drink first!" Zhao Wen Shi said, followed by a burst of applause. Then he walked to the second floor and sat down beside Jiang Xiao Yu.

  Zhao Wenshi looked at his opponent and smiled: "Bodhi brother, are you also curious about who the fourth position is?"

  "I think there's no one here who isn't curious, right?" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled slightly. Then he took a mouthful of tea and swallowed it into his belly. They spoke in relatively low voices. The others couldn't hear them at all.

  "You'll know soon enough, the masters of these four positions have actually already arrived at the scene." Zhao Wenshi smiled mysteriously.

  Jiang Xiaoyu sighed helplessly and didn't ask again. Even if she asked, the other person probably wouldn't say much. Besides, when the person arrives, won't they know who it is? Why bother asking repeatedly? After all, there isn't much time left anyway.

  Zhaowenshi, Zhuangzi and Dapeng Wang were all sitting beside Jiang Xiaoyu. The three of them gathered together because of Jiang Xiaoyu. At the same time, this also shows how vast Jiang Xiaoyu's connections are! Among them, Zhaowenshi's strength is not bad either, standing at the peak of Shenqiao, but he is not among the top ten in the world.

  "How come the Monkey King didn't come?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked with a smile.

  The Great Peng King shook his head and said, "At present, he is in seclusion, guarding the Divine Mountain and has no time to divide himself. The matter of the strong outside the domain has caused many forces and strong people to worry. A few days ago, that Sun Ming guy sensed an extremely powerful aura descending upon the divine realm. If not for his extraordinary senses, it would have been difficult to detect!"

  "After that powerful being from outside the domain entered the divine realm, he was like a fish in water, and it's fundamentally impossible to track his shadow." The Great Peng King said something that shocked everyone present!

  An invincible powerhouse from outside the domain has arrived in the divine realm? This is not a good omen, if it can be treated with such caution by the Ape Emperor, then its strength should not be underestimated! Such a strong person appears in the divine realm and still hides himself, so for the various major forces, it is undoubtedly a sharp sword hanging from their necks, very uncomfortable!

  "Where did that outsider powerhouse last appear?" Some people asked in confusion. This is important, and it's possible to infer the other party's current location through some clues.

  "Western Desert!" After saying that, the Great Peng King looked at Jiang Xiaoyu, Zuo Ci and Sakyamuni. Now their three sects are in the Western Desert! However, he didn't overworry, as the three of them were now top-notch sects, and among the top-notch sects, they belonged to the most elite ones, infinitely close to the Holy Land of Cultivation. Even if a cultivator at the Cutting Path stage wanted to destroy these three sects, they would have to weigh whether they had enough weight!

  As soon as this was said, many people breathed a sigh of relief. The reason was simple: they were not in Xī Mò (Western Desert). However, some people from certain sects looked very displeased because their sects were located in the Western Desert.

  "Don't worry, everyone. If any external cultivators dare to cause trouble in the Western Desert, I, Bodhi, will definitely not sit idly by." Jiang Xiaoyu spoke up.

  "Not bad, our Daoist sect will also go all out to help Fangcun Mountain and resist the foreign cultivators!" Zhuangzi also echoed in agreement.

  "The matter of Fangcun Mountain is the matter of my divine mountain, the Golden Winged Roc tribe!" The Roc King only said this one sentence, and it already conveyed the weight of his words! The Divine Mountain Golden Winged Roc tribe is one of the three great overlords, and compared to the human tribe's three great cultivation holy lands, they are not inferior in any way!

  After hearing this, many people felt relieved at once.

  "Bodhi Patriarch, you truly are a person of great wisdom and justice! We admire you!" The crowd exclaimed excitedly, clasping their fists in respect.

  Jiang Xiaoyu hastily waved his hand and smiled: "This is something Bodhi should do, there's no need for everyone to be so polite."

  Zao Hua Zhen Ren couldn't help but look at Jiang Xiao Yu, he didn't know why this Bodhi old ancestor gave him a feeling of déjà vu, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember. After all, ancient matters were just a small episode to him, and at that time, Jiang Xiao Yu's identity was Zhang Yi De! Even if the old man turned his memories upside down, he probably wouldn't think of it!

  "Ladies and gentlemen, sorry for the wait!"

  A loud voice echoed throughout the great hall, and then on the first floor, there were two middle-aged men and an elderly man with white hair sitting in three positions.

  One of them, Jiang Xiaoyu had seen before, the middle-aged man on the left was indeed the mountain master! So the old man on the right should be the principal, and the one in the middle who looked majestic should be the legendary Shi Huang. As for Shi Huang's appearance, Jiang Xiaoyu had also heard people talk about it, so he could infer a general idea himself.

  "Today is the grand assembly of Tiandang Mountain, it's a grand gathering for my divine domain cultivators!" Shi Huang spoke up, his voice was thick and gave off an enchanting magical power that made people unable to help but want to listen to every single word he said.

  "At the same time, this will be a nightmare-like gathering for those outside the domain!" Shi Huang said after finishing his sentence, and everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought. It had been a long time since Shi Huang and others appeared in front of ordinary people. It was said that he and the principal had both gone to the outside world, and it was unknown what they had experienced respectively.

  But now Shi Huang's imposing manner was overwhelming, as if he had endless confidence in the face of the great calamity. Had the other side already come up with a countermeasure? As they thought about this, everyone couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement - if there really was a way out, that would be the best!

  "As for how to deal with the external masters, you can all rest assured on this point." The principal smiled and spoke in a very gentle tone.

  After hearing this, some people almost couldn't help but cheer! Faced with the powerful foreign cultivators, they were at their wit's end, and now that things had a way to be dealt with, it was for the best.

  "But time is relatively tight, unless the heavens collapse with signs of portent, no one knows when the heavens will collapse." The mountain master said. This is indeed a problem, if there are signs of portent, then the distance to collapse is not far.

  "Shi Huang, who is that fourth position prepared for?" The sudden good news made everyone unable to help but joke around.

  "Haha! Never mind that, I had actually forgotten. Mountain Master, you were the one who discovered him, you tell!" Shi Huang smiled.

  The mountain master nodded, then stood up and walked to the second floor, standing in front of Jiang Xiaoyu's table. Jiang Xiaoyu was slightly stunned, his heart suddenly moved, could it be that this fourth position is...

  "Bodhi Dao You, please take a seat!" The mountain master chuckled.

  The crowd suddenly burst into a commotion, they had not expected that the fourth position was actually prepared for Bodhi Old Ancestor! Among them, Zhao Wenshi already knew, just smiled and didn't show too much surprise.

  "I refuse!" Yang Qian stood up, coldly staring at Jiang Xiaoyu.
