5,000 years ago, the True Martial Sect was superior to any force and was a behemoth in the whole Red Sun Continent.
However, this was just a prosperous time when Jiang Chen hadn’t ascended to the Nine Heavens!
After Jiang Chen ascended, the sect leader of the True Martial Sect’s strength declined greatly.
Unfortunately, after the fall of the previous sect leader, the True Martial Sect had declined from being a behemoth to a mere ninth-grade sect.
Back then, it used to have countless disciples all over the continent, and there were many geniuses among them.
But now, there were only a hundred disciples in the entire True Martial Sect.
One could imagine how dilapidated the sect had now become.
Now that the sect leader, Ye Qizheng, had personally witnessed the heaven and earth phenomenon triggered by a disciple and the awakening of the statue of the first ancestor in the sect, how could he not be excited?
Even his eyes were filled with tears.
“Our True Martial Sect is facing an internal and external crisis. Facing the oppression of other sects, we can finally rise up from today onwards. Haha!”
The sect leader, Ye Qizheng, was crying tears of joy as he muttered to himself.
At this moment, the huge statue in the middle of the training arena, which was shrouded in golden light, suddenly trembled.
The ground started to shake. Some disciples almost lost their balance and fell to the ground.
While everyone was looking for the source of the tremors, they heard several loud, muffled sounds.
Boom!
Boom!
Several cracks suddenly appeared on Jiang Chen’s statue. As the cracks spread, the whole statue collapsed. When it hit the ground, it turned into powder and disappeared into thin air.
Although the statue had disappeared, the golden light still lingered. It condensed into a wisp of a remnant soul that looked exactly like Jiang Chen.
The disciples of the True Martial Sect were completely shocked when they saw this wisp of the remnant soul appear in front of them.
They rubbed their eyes and exclaimed in disbelief, “Why is he so powerful? I don’t even dare to breathe in front of him.”
“Me too. I even have the urge to kneel in front of him.”
While all the disciples looked at Jiang Chen’s wisp of the remnant soul with a heavy heart, Ye Qizheng and the three elders seemed shocked.
Then, they suddenly knelt down on one knee and greeted.
“The current sect leader of the True Martial Sect, Ye Qizheng, pays his respects to the senior!”
“The current three elders of the True Martial Sect pay their respects to the senior!”
When the disciples heard their voice, they immediately realized that it was the ancestor of their True Martial Sect!
“Disciples of the True Martial Sect pay their respects to the senior!”
More than a hundred disciples knelt down at the same time and paid their respects.
Jiang Chen’s wisp, which was formed by his remnant soul, didn’t say anything. He just glanced at the current sect leader of the True Martial Sect indifferently.
When Jiang Chen’s remnant soul finished looking at the sect leader of the True Martial Sect, an extremely angry expression appeared on his face.
“Humph! Has our True Martial Sect fallen to such a pathetic state? As the sect leader, you only have this kind of strength? Even I was stronger than you when I swept through the ground thousands of years ago!”
“Are you a good-for-nothing?”
As soon as Jiang Chen’s remnant soul finished speaking, Ye Qizheng, who was the current sect leader, was frightened to the point of trembling.
And when those disciples saw that their ancestor was scolding the sect leader, they all lowered their heads and didn’t dare to say a word!
Ye Qizheng wanted to refute, but he knew all of this was the truth. Besides, he was facing the 5000-year-old overlord of the Red Sun Continent, and the first sect leader of the True Martial Sect.
Even if he was given ten guts, Ye Qizheng wouldn’t dare to say anything to this ancestor.
“Old Ye Qizheng knows his mistake…”
Ye Qizheng spoke up respectfully. He didn’t dare to deny or argue.
Upon seeing the sect leader in such a state, the disciples were so frightened that they didn’t dare to make any sound. When Jiang Chen’s remnant soul flew into a rage, the disciples whose cultivation base wasn’t high enough were already so terrified that they couldn’t even stand properly.
“If my true body was here, I would definitely drag out all the sect leaders who are responsible for the downfall of my sect and teach them a deep lesson!”
“Yes, you’re right.”
Hearing this, Ye Qizheng’s heart clenched. He had never thought that this old ancestor of his would be as overbearing as in the legends. He even had the strength to drag the dead sect leaders from hell to whip their corpses.
Moreover, what realm was he at that he could even drag out the dead people…
The more he thought about it, the more terrified Ye Qizheng became!
“Senior, please calm down.”
“Now that things have become like this, do you have any other way to solve the True Martial Sect’s current predicament?”
Ye Qizheng was bowing as he asked sincerely.
Jiang Chen’s remnant soul fell silent for a moment. Then, he said, “Since I’ve awakened, I naturally have a way to solve it!”
“The situation of our True Martial Sect seems to have reached a dead-end, and it can no longer be saved. But the disciple who caused the heaven and earth phenomenon just now can help our True Martial Sect get out of this predicament!”
“He can lead our True Martial Sect back to its former glory!”
Hearing this, Ye Qizheng was instantly overjoyed. As expected, the disciple who triggered the phenomenon was their True Martial Sect’s hope.
Although Ye Qizheng had already vaguely guessed it before, he still didn’t expect that the ancestor’s evaluation of this disciple would actually be so high.
One must know that the True Martial Sect was once the behemoth of the Red Sun Continent. When they were down and out in the past, several generations of sect leaders had tried every means to restore the True Martial Sect back to its peak.
However, they all ended in failure. In the end, they even exhausted the sect’s fate in advance, causing it to decline even further!
By the time the current sect leader of this generation arrived, he had completely given up on this idea before their old ancestor awakened.
Even though the sect’s disciples had triggered the heaven and earth phenomenon just now, Ye Qizheng still did not dare to imagine that the sect would recover to its peak.
But now, after their ancestor had awakened and thought highly of this disciple, Ye Qizheng’s buried thoughts gradually showed up again.
“Thank you for enlightening me, Senior. I, Ye Qizheng, will train him wholeheartedly…”
Before Ye Qizheng could finish his words, Jiang Chen’s remnant soul interrupted him.
Train him?
What a joke!
The founder of the True Martial Sect, the Heavenly Sovereign God of the Nine Heavens would let a mere sect leader train a disciple thousands of years later?
When his original body woke up and saw the current state of the True Martial Sect, it was already good enough if he didn’t teach them a lesson. But this Ye Qizheng still dared to say that he wanted to train this disciple in front of him?
“You don’t need to train him. You only need to give the position of the sect leader of the True Martial Sect to that disciple and listen to his instructions regarding the development of the sect!”
Although it was just Jiang Chen’s remnant soul, he still had the ability to think by himself.
In order to avoid any accidents, Jiang Chen’s remnant soul planned to use a part of his power to intimidate Ye Qizheng first, so that he wouldn’t be disobedient when Jiang Chen’s original body woke up.
Right then!
Jiang Chen’s remnant soul slowly raised his hand and pointed at a huge mountain in the distance. All the energy contained in the remnant soul gathered together.
Whoosh!
Boom!
An invisible energy shot out. In an instant, a huge mountain was smashed into pieces.
“I’ve told you everything I needed to tell you. You just have to do what I said.”
Then, Jiang Chen’s remnant soul turned into a beam of light that entered the glabella of the disciple who was lying on the ground motionlessly..
