Origin Source Grounds!
Luo Yunyang’s hands were currently holding on to a small token. A token that would lead to the Origin Source Grounds. This token was only about the size of a palm, but a stifling feeling was emanating from it.
According to what the Divine Elder had said, these Origin Source Grounds had been left behind by the Human Race’s Divine Elder. Hong Meng Sacred Hall’s previous Middle Hall Master had entered these Origin Source Grounds to break through to his current cultivation grade.
The previous Middle Hall Master hadn’t talked about the situation in the Origin Source Grounds. However, according to the Divine Elder, a number of entities had entered these Origin Source Grounds because they weren’t able to advance in many years or because of a variety of other reasons.
However, only a scarce few had returned.
As long as one returned from the Origin Source Grounds, that person’s cultivation would experience a massive increase.
Given Luo Yunyang’s aptitude, breaking through to the Taichu Yuan Venerate wasn’t too big of a problem. Thus, there really wasn’t much of a necessity to enter the Origin Source Grounds.
After all, entering the Origin Source Grounds was too risky!
Luo Yunyang didn’t hesitate much before deciding whether or not to go. He basically wasn’t an indecisive person. Furthermore, he felt that he had no choice but to go under the circumstances.
Although his own cultivation base wasn’t too bad, wanting to advance further either required many years of grinding or entering a place with endless opportunities.
The Origin Source Grounds was such a place!
As Luo Yunyang pondered this, a jade talisman appeared in his hands. Luo Yunyang frowned when he saw this jade talisman.
This talisman had been sent by Yuan Venerate White Crane. There was a single line contained within that said that a few young Yuan Venerates from Tianding Realm had come.
A few Yuan Venerates from Tianding Realm!
Because of Long Fantian, Luo Yunyang didn’t have a favorable impression of Tianding Realm. However, he still had to meet with them.
Before he entered the main hall of Hong Meng Sacred Hall, a sarcastic voice hit Luo Yunyang’s ears. “What? Luo Yunyang still hasn’t come out? Does he really think of himself as Hong Meng Sacred Hall’s master?”
Luo Yunyang frowned. His position as hall master had already been established for some time. The fact that this person was uttering such unbridled words here was simply a provocation targeted at him.
Immediately, the smile of the person speaking caught his eye. It was a young man who looked like he was in his twenties. There was a sacred imprint in the middle of his forehead that made him give off an air of royalty.
A Taishi Yuan Venerate. This young man was actually a Taishi Yuan Venerate.
Even though young children in Tianding Realm could already be born at the peak of the Nebula Grade or even up to the Universe Grade, becoming a Yuan Venerate was still a very difficult task.
This person wasn’t too old. At the very least, Luo Yunyang sensed that this person’s cultivation period shouldn’t be longer than his own.
Actually, becoming a Yuan Venerate at such a young age gave him the right to be arrogant regardless of where he was.
“Zhongming, be more polite when you speak. We have come this time to seek Hall Master Luo’s help.” Another young and honest-looking man spoke.
He didn’t radiate the same sharp vibe as the previous young man but he seemed stable yet imposing.
When Luo Yunyang sensed this person, that person also seemed to sense him and looked over in Luo Yunyang’s direction.
“Greetings, Hall Master!” While Yuan Venerate White Crane was already the Right Hall Master, he basically would still address Luo Yunyang as hall master.
He greeted Luo Yunyang with the utmost respect.
Luo Yunyang smiled at Yuan Venerate White Crane and walked over to the seat in the middle. That was the seat of Hong Meng Sacred Hall’s Middle Hall Master.
“Luo Yunyang, did you see us?” The eyes of the young man known as Zhong Ming flushed with fury and embarrassment when he saw Luo Yunyang ignoring them.
The most important thing for these youngsters was face. Seeing Luo Yunyang act this haughty immediately made them feel somewhat displeased.
Luo Yunyang totally ignored Zhong Ming and sat down on the middle seat before finally saying nonchalantly, “Right Hall Master, who are these people?”
“Luo Yunyang, don’t you put on the air of a hall master! Let me tell you something. I am much higher than you in terms of seniority and status. I also want to remind you to open your eyes and take a proper look. He is a disciple of Hong Meng Sacred Hall’s first hall master!”
As Zhong Ming spoke, he pointed at the young man who had just talked to him. “Based on seniority, you should address him as Ancestral Master!”
Even though the five great sacred halls had been established by the Human Race’s Divine Master, the hall master of each sacred hall was his disciple.
This was a disciple of the first hall master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall. No wonder even Yuan Venerate White Crane had to inform Luo Yunyang about it. Luo Yunyang glanced at the forbidding young man seated beneath him and said with a smile, “May I know how to address you?”
“I am Lu Xinlong. I have come to Hong Meng Sacred Hall this time because I have to trouble the Hall Master with some matters!” the honest-looking man said with a faint smile.
Even though he had said the word ‘trouble’ very politely, Luo Yunyang could sense that this was something he couldn’t refuse to do easily.
This ungiving imperiousness made Luo Yunyang feel extremely displeased.
However, regardless of whether he was happy or not, Luo Yunyang still asked calmly, “Feel free to speak of whatever this is. As long as Hong Meng Sacred Hall can help, we will definitely do so!”
“In that case, I shall not hold back. My cultivation technique, which is named Fate Heaven Calamity, is mainly a great killing path!” Lu Xinlong’s tone was as calm as if he was mentioning something very ordinary.
However, Luo Yunyang didn’t have a good feeling when he heard Lu Xinlong’s words. He had already vaguely sensed his reason for coming.
“Even though I am currently already a Yuan Venerate, I have found it difficult to ascend because I don’t have a suitable treasure to use as a weapon.”
At this point, Lu Xinlong eyed Luo Yunyang and said, “Some time ago, a senior told me that I have an affinity for the Great Obliteration Millstone Hall Master Luo possesses. Thus, I would like to borrow it for a bit!”
Borrow the Great Obliteration Millstone?
This had been said very easily, as if it was common sense! However, a glimmer of fury sprouted in Luo Yunyang’s eyes when he heard it.
He glanced at Lu Xinlong and replied bluntly, “The Great Obliteration Millstone is a beloved item of mine that concerns my cultivation considerably. Therefore, I can’t loan it out!”
“Damn it, Luo Yunyang! Do you think that you are really a hall master just because people call you one? Let me tell you something. The position of the Hall Master was yours before Tianding Realm emerged!”
“Now that we have returned, the position of the hall master isn’t something that you can hold!” Zhong Ming pointed at Luo Yunyang and said disdainfully, “Even the position of the hall master is Brother Lu’s. Although he doesn’t want your position, he sought you out to borrow a treasure. However, you came here and started using all sorts of excuses. This is simply repulsive!”
At this point, he also said furiously, “Do you really think that you are a bigshot? Why don’t you take a good long look at yourself?”
Yuan Venerate White Crane’s face darkened when this was said.
He had originally harbored many fantasies regarding Tianding Realm. After all, Tianding Realm and the Human Race had some sort of relation. Unfortunately, he had never imagined that the disciple of the first Middle Hall Master would come and demand such a treasure.
On top of this demand, he had even used venomous slander.
PA!
Just as Yuan Venerate White Crane was wondering how Luo Yunyang would react, he heard the sound of a slap. Then, he saw the man known as Zhong Ming clutch the left side of his face.
Although the left side of his face hadn’t crumbled, it had clearly swollen up.
“You… You actually dared to hit me. You actually dared to hit me!” Zhong Ming howled in disbelief.
He had never imagined that someone in this dirt-like realm would actually dare hit him. Furthermore, he had never imagined that he would be struck on the face. This slap had thoroughly incensed him.
His eyes were fixed on Luo Yunyang as though he wanted to devour Luo Yunyang at any possible moment. However, Luo Yunyang, who had been sitting quietly, remained as still as a mountain.
Lu Xinlong’s face darkened as well. Even though he didn’t like Zhong Ming’s noisy blabbering attitude, he still approved of Zhong Ming’s sense of superiority.
Who was Luo Yunyang? In his eyes, this was merely a junior. Lu Xinlong was a disciple of the first Middle Hall Master and a grand disciple of the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor. Even though Luo Yunyang wouldn’t be too happy, he should still hand over the treasure Lu Xinlong demanded.
He had never expected that Luo Yunyang would give Zhong Ming a tight slap.
Even though this slap had struck Zhong Ming, it was also an attack against him. If he didn’t stand up for Zhong Ming, then his future reputation would be ruined.
“Luo Yunyang, do you know what kind of offense it is to strike a senior?” Lu Xinlong stood up as he spoke coldly.
“Senior? Whose senior are you guys?” Luo Yunyang eyed Lu Xinlong while speaking indifferently. “Even though your master was once the first hall master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall, he no longer has any relationship with Hong Meng Sacred Hall after leaving this realm and entering Tianding Realm!”
“So many heroes have died during the fight between the Human Race and the Mysterious Underworld Race in all these years. These are the true seniors of Hong Meng Sacred Hall!”
“As for you guys, who do you think you are? What gives you the right to run here and proclaim yourselves to be seniors? Now, I am giving you a chance. Get lost!”
The moment Luo Yunyang spoke, Lu Xinlong, Zhong Ming, and their party tensed up in shock.
They all stood up and waves of majestic auras rushed forth from their bodies!
