After finishing the setup of the grand barrier formation,
Unable to refuse such warm hospitality, Chu Feng stayed one more day. That evening, the sect master held a banquet at the most sacred place in the Void Sect — the summit of the Void Tower.
"Sect Master, the design of this Void Tower is truly unique. I wonder whose handiwork it is?"
Chu Feng ate and drank while observing his surroundings. He noticed that the tower's position was excellent — from its summit, one could take in the entire Void Sect below. Especially under the night sky, the view was breathtaking.
Moreover, the architectural style of the Void Tower was quite distinctive. The main body resembled a sword hilt, with a dominant golden hue that shimmered under the moonlight. Yet this golden color was not uniform — it appeared in patches, much like dragon scales, resplendent golden dragon scales, gorgeous to behold.
From a distance, it looked like a golden blade thrust into the mountain range, merging with the void, blending seamlessly with the mountains and rivers. The fusion was so natural it could be called flawless — it hardly seemed like a building at all, but rather a creation of nature itself.
With the keen eye of a Spirit World Master, Chu Feng could tell the Void Tower was far from ordinary. Now that he had climbed to its very top and looked around, he felt even more strongly that the tower might be concealing some secret, and he was eager to learn more.
"Oh, this Void Tower was personally built by our Void Sect's founding ancestor, Void True Master. In fact, the entire Void Sect was crafted by his hand," the sect master said.
"Sigh, speaking of our founding ancestor, he was a remarkable figure of his era. But alas..." One of the presiding elders couldn't help but sigh at the mention of their founder.
"Indeed. A thousand years ago, our founding ancestor was a figure who dominated the entire continent. This modest Qingzhou was far too small for him. At that time, our Void Sect was also renowned throughout the
"But unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time. Our ancestor encountered the founder of the Azure Dragon Sect, the Dragon Daoist. The two became enemies over a matter and fought a duel at the pinnacle of the Imperial City. In the end, our ancestor was defeated by the Dragon Daoist."
"From that point on, our ancestor never recovered. He ultimately died with regret in the Void Mountain Range. To this day, people only remember the Dragon Daoist from a thousand years ago — the founder of the Azure Dragon Sect, the invincible figure who dominated the continent."
"No one remembers that our Void Sect's founding ancestor was also a figure of continental renown in his time. Otherwise, our Void Sect would not have fallen to such a state," another presiding elder lamented.
"Complaining is useless. In every era, people only remember the strongest. We can only say our ancestor was born at the wrong time and encountered a monster like the Dragon Daoist."
"Besides, our Void Sect's decline cannot be blamed on the ancestor. He already told us that he left his supreme martial art technique inside this Void Tower, awaiting a destined disciple to claim it."
"It is we who are incompetent, unable to comprehend the supreme technique our ancestor left behind. Otherwise, how could the Void Sect have fallen so low?"
"A sect's greatness does not depend on how powerful its founder was, but on whether the younger generation can surpass their predecessors and make the sect ever more prosperous."
"Otherwise, the Azure Dragon Sect would not have fallen as it has, and the Lingyun Sect would not have become Qingzhou's foremost sect," the Void Sect master shook his head helplessly.
"A supreme martial art technique?" At these words, Chu Feng's eyes lit up. He immediately asked, "What kind of supreme technique did your founding ancestor leave behind?"
"This..." The two presiding elders exchanged a glance, first startled, then somewhat hesitant.
But the Void Sect master smiled faintly and said, "Our founding ancestor was a Heaven Martial realm expert in his day. Though his fame did not compare to the Dragon Daoist, he was still ranked among the top ten figures on the entire Nine Provinces Continent."
"In his later years, he achieved sudden enlightenment in the path of martial cultivation and created a supreme technique — the Void Dragon Roar Blade."
"The Void Dragon Roar Blade is a seventh-rank Martial Art, but it is said that upon reaching perfection, it rivals an eighth-rank Martial Art. Its power is enough to shake heaven and earth — even on the current Nine Provinces Continent, it would be considered a supreme technique."
As he spoke of the Void Dragon Roar Blade, the sect master's face was practically glowing, words tumbling out excitedly, his entire countenance radiant with passion. Anyone could see how thrilled he was, but this fervent emotion suddenly deflated with his final words.
"Unfortunately, the Void Dragon Roar Blade was only ever wielded by our ancestor himself. Although the sect's records describe its power, no one has ever actually seen what it looks like," the sect master said with a helpless expression.
"Perhaps it's just a legend. After all, it happened a thousand years ago — who could remember so clearly?" One of the presiding elders gave a bitter smile.
"Impossible! The Void Dragon Roar Blade definitely exists, and our founding ancestor's deeds are all real!" The other elder shot to his feet, somewhat agitated.
"Insolent! What kind of behavior is this in front of our guest!" Sensing the tension escalating, the sect master flew into a rage.
"Come, let's not dwell on the past. Tonight, let's drink until we can't drink anymore!" Chu Feng raised his cup, attempting to smooth things over. The three others naturally dared not refuse, and they downed an entire bowl of wine in a single gulp.
That night, all four drank heavily — the sect master and the two presiding elders were truly drunk, but Chu Feng remained perfectly sober.
When the night deepened and all was quiet, Chu Feng quietly returned to the Void Tower. Since the tower was a sacred site for the Void Sect, not only did no one live there, but elders and disciples alike were forbidden from setting foot inside.
Naturally, no one knew of his arrival. The tower's great doors were firmly locked and fitted with mechanical formations, but for Chu Feng, a gray-robed Spirit World Master, this was child's play. A single compact barrier formation was enough to open the great lock without causing any damage whatsoever.
Successfully entering the Void Tower, Chu Feng took out the Spirit Realm Compass, extended his Mental Power, and began a careful search. Searching for what? The supreme martial art left behind by Void True Master — the Void Dragon Roar Blade!
