Bai Hongtu’s skills were mediocre in the Nine States, but in this world that only valued martial arts, they were as shocking as seeing a ghost.

Eventually, it was through Jiang Li’s strenuous negotiation that the young man in white finally believed that they were all human, just with unusual skills that made them more formidable than ordinary people.

“However, Abbot ought to be your ancestor’s younger brother,” Jiang Li said. He had noticed early on through his Divine Sense that Abbot and the young man in white were of the same blood.

The young man in white was named Bu Tian. the young master of the Bu

family from Buwu City.

The young man in white took the four of them to the Bu family.

The Bu family was a minor clan that had emerged a hundred years ago, appearing ordinary and inconspicuous on the surface. Unbeknownst to anyone, the Bu family was actually the Bu family with six hundred years of history.

“Little Tian, who are these four?” The Bu family’s clan leader looked at Jiang Li and the others with furrowed brows, seeing that the four of them were as ordinary as those who had never practiced martial arts.

But how was this possible? The twelve warlords demanded all people to practice martial arts, who would dare to defy them?

The Bu family’s clan leader had outstanding martial arts talent and was a

Grandmaster beyond the Innate Realm, hardly one to make such a mistake.

Either these four were extraordinary beyond comparison, or they were indeed ordinary people.

Either possibility was unthinkable.

Abbot was indeed an ordinary person, who had been greatly injured by the twelve warlord’s residual forces three hundred years ago, causing him to lose all his martial arts abilities. He had been frozen in the Nine States for five hundred years, and after being healed by a teacher from the academy, he had yet to practice martial or immortal path before being brought back here by Jiang Li.

“Father, this is the kin brother of our ancestor, Bu Dong! I want to take him to meet our ancestor. Our ancestor would be thrilled to hear about this!”

“Nonsense!” The Bu family’s clan leader roared in fury.

Was this possible?!

Even if Bu Dong were still alive, he would be over three hundred years old now. And here was a mere fifteen or sixteen -year-old boy, claiming to be their ancestor’s brother.

Only a fool would believe such a story!

Their ancestor was still alive, this was the Bu family’s biggest secret, how could they let these people know about it?

If these people revealed this information, the court would immediately send people to exterminate the Bu family, and they would face destruction the very next day!

“You, you, you, you’re driving me to my grave!”

Jiang Li covered the Bu family with his Divine Sense, easily finding Bu Jing in the secret chamber.

Surprisingly, he was still alive.

“Clan Leader Bu, we’re from another world, here to save you. Abbot is alive because he was frozen for hundreds of years and was recently discovered by our people.”

“If you don’t believe us, why don’t we take a trip to the sky to demonstrate our abilities?”

Before the Bu family’s clan leader could react, Jiang Li grabbed his shoulder, bringing him to the Earth’s atmosphere, and gave him a bird’s eye view of the continent.

The Ring Universe is a Continent World.

In the thin atmosphere, the clan leader struggled to breathe, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

“Forgot, you guys still need to breathe.” Jiang Li said apologetically, he put a shield around the clan leader, collecting nearby air, making the clan leader feel somewhat better.

Flying, how could a person fly!

This is against martial arts!

Once he returned to the ground, the stunned Clan Leader Bu believed about eighty percent of what Jiang Li had said and decided to take them to meet their ancestor.

He had no choice but to believe. The opponent’s strength was definitely superior to his own, and possibly even stronger than their ancestor. That someone so powerful would explain things calmly and equanimously was a stroke of good luck.

If he continued to rashly reject, he didn’t dare to imagine what would happen if the other party got angry.

Bu Tian was also flabbergasted. He knew these people had some skills, but he never expected them to be capable of flight.

The door to the secret room turned, revealing a vast underground space. At the end of the room, an old man with a rugged figure stood with his back to everyone, before him was a mountain of plaques.

The plaque at the top read:

Ancestor of the Bu family—Bu Wu, Huang Ya

The second row had two plaques, which were written:

The deceased—Bu Jing

Younger brother—Bu Dong

“Why so?” The voice full of old age and vicissitudes asked.

Upon hearing the familiar yet foreign voice, Abu’ lips quivered uncontrollably as he started crying.

“Brother! ”

Abu blurted out, using the original language of the Ring Universe.

The elder shuddered, turning his head blankly, his eyes empty as he was clearly blind.

Despite his blindness, this voice, calling him brother, had echoed in his head for three hundred years. He wouldn’t mishear it.

“Bu Dong, is it you?” Unbelieving, the elder spoke. Recently, he was becoming increasingly mentally fuzzy, sleeping longer, and often dreamt of his father, mother, and younger brother calling out his name in his dreams.

Each time he awoke, he was left with tear-streaked eyes.

Abu stumbled and rushed over, throwing himself onto the elder while sobbing uncontrollably.

“Brother, it’s me, Bu Dong.”

Touching Abu’s face, the elder revealed his remaining teeth, insisting, “It’s Bu

Dong! It’s Bu Dong!”

“Brother, your eyes…”

Abu noticed the elder’s lifeless eyes couldn’t see anything at all, only identifying him through his voice and touch.

“Failed the breakthrough to the pinnacle of humanity. I’m lucky to be alive, going blind was the best outcome.”

“Make way.” Jiang Li covered the elder’s eyes, then removed his hand.

The elder acted defensively, but it was futile against Jiang Li.

He realized the world was no longer drowned in darkness, gradually regaining color. He could clearly see his crying younger brother, Jiang Li, who cured his eyes, and Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin standing by.

“Immortal. Are you an Immortal?” The elder recalled the family legend, where an Immortal once showed favor to the Bu Family by leaving a realm-breaking talisman.

“I’m not an Immortal, just a regular cultivator from the Mahayana Realm.”

The Clan Leader Bu and Bu Tian watched the scene, stunned. Just a touch from Jiang Li cured the elder’s eyes, this was truly an Immortal’s method.

The elder didn’t know what the Mahayana realm was, but before he could ask, he heard Abu ask him.

“Elder brother, have you preserved your life until now by becoming a pinnacle of humanity?

A pinnacle of humanity could live for more than 300 years.

The elder nodded gently, a tinge of sorrow audible in his tone.

“After father gave you the talisman to break the realm, knowing he would be failed to defeat the Twelve Kings, he transferred all his power to me. He forcefully funnels me to the peak of humanity before hiding me, recording me from the pursuit of the Twelve Kings.”

“At that time, there were only ten at the peak of humanity. After the Kings killed our father and counted the number of lives, they confirmed all ten were dead and then relaxed a little, I therefore survived.”

“But the twelve kings remained. Unable to show myself as they dramatically altered history and language, I had no choice but to hide. I ordered our descendants to stay low, not to reveal themselves as members of the Bu family.”

“I am a coward!” The elder cursed himself.

“I knew that the only way to defeat the Twelve Kings was to break through the pinnacle of humanity to reach a higher level, but unfortunately, even our father who was a gifted genius failed. How could I possibly succeed?”

“Now that my days are limited, seeing my younger brother is enough. I can die with my eyes closed.”

“The martial arts way of this world really have some merits.” After seeing the elder, Jiang Li truly appreciated the upper-class power of the Ring Universe and understood their martial arts.

Although it did not provide as much lifespan as cultivation breakthrough did, it still had significant advantages.

To Jiang Li, the martial arts record issued by the kings did not hold a candle to real martial arts training.

“If it weren’t for the Twelve Kings, allowing the world to develop for a few more centuries, a new realm should appear.” Bai Hongtu evaluated. He thought that the martial arts in the Ring Universe were correct, stating, “This is a world with potential. It is not impossible for a realm corresponding to the Body Integration Realm to appear in a few thousand years.”

This is high praise.

In the Nine Imperial Dynasties, Wuguo was a dynasty that esteemed martial arts training. However, they didn’t combine martial arts and daoist immortality cultivation like the Ring Universe, but combined martial arts and immortality to ultimately reach immortal levels through martial arts, breaking through the realm, and achieving ascension.

But over the tens of thousands of years of Wuguo’s history, there had only been two existences that achieved immortality through martial arts. The highest level of combat power they currently have is only in the Body Integration Realm.

Bai Hongtu believed that the Ring Universe could rival the current Wuguo in a few thousand years.

Of course, this was under the premise that Wuguo did not use their national fortune..
