Chapter 1425 - 1424: Impersonating the Emei Patriarch!

Zhang Bin wasted no time, immediately using Earth and Metal Escape to sneak into the Bone Collecting Tower.

Indeed, the stones of this tower are quite unique, having a high metal content, making it impossible to enter with just Earth Escape.

Perhaps because Zhang Chong is male, though the Bone Collecting Tower has five layers, he's the only one there.

Thus, Zhang Bin started from the first layer and ascended to the highest fifth layer.

Inside was a place of darkness.

There wasn't even a crack.

An old man with white hair sat cross-legged on a mat, devoid of any vitality.

Zhang Bin extended his Divine Sense to look closely and shook his head with a sigh.

Because the deceased's Moon Palace had collapsed completely, and their soul energy was utterly depleted.

It's truly fallen.

The body hadn't decayed because he cultivated to the Integration Realm Complete Perfection, nearly achieving an immortal body.

However, given a few thousand years or longer, his body would still decay.

Turn to dust.

Over the passage of billions of years, not only human bodies but even inferior grade magical treasures would completely perish.

Zhang Bin took the Space Ring from the corpse. Seeing it was still intact, he refined it and wore it on his finger, later unfastening the longsword at the waist and donned it himself.

Upon checking inside the Space Ring, he found the items were still in pristine condition.

After all, the Space Ring has a preservation function.

A delighted smile emerged on his face.

He began to disguise himself, putting on the clothes from Zhang Chong's Space Ring and then meticulously doing makeup on the corpse.

Using True Qi to alter muscles and skin.

After over an hour, he finally transformed into Zhang Chong's likeness.

Looking almost identical, without any discrepancy.

"Alright, you can decay ahead of schedule now."

Zhang Bin chuckled malevolently, waving his hand to unleash scorching blue flames.

Soon turning the body to ashes.

Moreover, he collected the ashes in his Central Dantian, placing them underneath the Heaven and Earth Spirit Tree as fertilizer.

Then, he took out a new mat and sat cross-legged on it.

Beginning to cultivate diligently.

This time, his cultivation of course focused on the Supreme Forget-Love Art.

To impersonate Zhang Chong, the most crucial aspect is cultivating Ruthless Qi.

Otherwise, how could he carry out the impersonation?

The next morning.

Zhang Bin advanced to the Initial Stage of Gold Core.

"Boom boom boom..."

Layers of yellow clouds appeared in the sky, and the dull sound of thunder resounded within them.

Terrorizing oppression and aura covered the sky while the atmosphere of death was exceptionally potent.

"What's going on?"

Many Emei disciples were astonished, all rushing out from houses or cave mansions, watching with eyes filled with shock.

Even the mighty Ironheart Master rushed out, dumbstruck, with a face full of puzzlement and disbelief.

"Heavens, this seems like an Ascension Heavenly Tribulation! Who could be undergoing an Ascension Tribulation?"

"The strongest among us at Emei is Sect Leader Ironheart Master, but she's here; it's not her undergoing Ascension Tribulation."

Someone shouted in utmost shock.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Then, numerous Emei disciples simultaneously took flight, quickly arriving at the forest in front of the Bone Collecting Tower.

Everyone's gaze fixated on the Bone Collecting Tower where Zhang Bin was hiding.

Because they all sensed that a formidable breakthrough aura was emanating from that tower.

Clearly, someone inside was indeed attempting to ascend to the Ascension Realm.

"That's Zhang Chong's ancestor's Bone Collecting Tower..."

"But Zhang Chong's ancestor fell two thousand years ago..."

"Zhang Chong's ancestor did not fall; he closed himself off, not emerging for two thousand years..."

"..."

Various Emei disciples started discussing, faces filled with shock, and eyes overflowing with fervent glow.

In their hearts was a nameless excitement.

Hoping Zhang Chong hadn't perished and was now breaking through to the Ascension Realm.

Should their ancestor ascend to the Ascension Realm, Emei would become a super sect, able to stand alongside great sects like Shushan and Kunlun.

Most importantly, guidance from an Ascension Realm ancestor would accelerate their own strengthening.

Only Ironheart Master wasn't joyful, instead wearing a face full of fury.

She'd never heard of a cultivator closing themselves off for two thousand years without falling.

That's simply absurd.

Could it be that someone from another sect snuck into the Bone Collecting Tower, cultivating in isolation inside?

If that were true, they've encountered a tremendously formidable adversary.

"Form the array..."

Thus, she sternly shouted.

Instantly, all Emei disciples formed a strange Great Array, merging as one.

Exuding terrifying aura and oppression.

All wielded treasured swords, prepared for battle.

Finally, the terrifying yellow thunderbolt descended.

Ferociously bombarding the Bone Collecting Tower.

The tower instantly shattered, breaking into pieces.

Yet Zhang Bin remained cross-legged on the mat, seemingly meditative like a monk.

Of course, now the mat was suspended in the void.

While he too emanated an exceedingly terrifying oppression and aura.

This is the aura of an Ascension Realm Early Stage cultivator.

Apparently, Zhang Bin truly broke through to the Ascension Realm Early Stage.

Naturally, this was Zhang Bin utilizing his Camouflage Ability, disguising himself as an Ascension Realm Early Stage cultivator.

Due to his immense strength, he formed a Golden Core, triggering a yellow lightning tribulation meant for an Ascension Realm Early Stage cultivator.

Thus, with the tribulation as ironclad evidence, no one would suspect he's not an Ascension Realm Early Stage cultivator.

"Heaven, he really seems like Zhang Chong, I've seen Zhang Chong's portrait."

"His sword is also Zhang Chong's, and his cultivation technique is the Supreme Forget-Love Art."

"Heavens, Zhang Chong's ancestor actually closed himself off for two thousand years, hasn't fallen, and still cultivated to the Ascension Realm? This is truly an incredible miracle."

"..."

All disciples shouted in astonishment, faces exuberant with joy.

Even Ironheart Master was stunned, many of her doubts reduced.

A fervent glow shot from her eyes.

However, as Sect Leader, she was extra cautious, internally questioning, "Is someone impersonating Zhang Chong for gain? Could Zhang Bin be the one impersonating? Could Zhang Duoqing be impersonating? But neither of them has received Emei inheritance, they can't cultivate Ruthless Qi, could it be someone else infiltrated Emei long ago?"

"Boom boom..."

Extremely terrifying yellow thunderbolts crazily bombarded down, fiercely striking Zhang Bin's body.

However, they couldn't harm Zhang Bin in the slightest; even his clothes and hair remained intact!

This was truly a miracle, an utterly unbelievable miracle!
