C1706 Once glorious
Wu Qiankun was not willing to retreat easily, and went deep into the cave, in the end, he was surrounded by many attacks, and was unable to escape.
And there was only one result. He would die under the attack of a Great Dao.
Thinking about it, Lu Jun felt a sense of regret, Wu Qiankun was definitely very strong, but if he was too determined on victory or defeat, he could very well lose his life.
At that time, Lu Jun was also faced with this choice, and in the end he chose to withdraw.
As long as he could win first place in the battles of trials s, he could marry Yu Fei. Thus, he did not want to take this risk.
At this moment, many people had already given up hope on Wu Qiankun. It had been so long since he had come out, and perhaps, he would never be able to come out again.
Just when everyone thought that Wu Qiankun would never be able to come out, they heard an intense whistling sound, and a silhouette flew out from the depths of the mountains.
Countless people abruptly turned their heads in that direction, and the moment they saw the figure that flew out, their eyes couldn't help but reveal expressions of extreme shock, as though they were looking at an inconceivable sight. Their hearts trembled violently.
He actually came out alive!
After entering for such a long period of time, just when everyone thought he had died, he actually came out. It was as though he was making a joke out of nowhere.
Qin Xuan saw Wu Qiankun coming out from the depths, and when he raised his head to look at the sky, he did not see any major changes. His face could not help but reveal an odd expression.
Wu Qiankun stabilized his body and walked towards the direction of the Martial Saint Palace.
"Eldest Brother!" Wu Yu, Wu Lun and many other disciples rushed forward, as if they were extremely concerned about Wu Qiankun's condition. They could tell that their senior brother was injured.
"Eldest Senior Brother, how are you right now?" Wu Yu asked with concern.
"I'm fine. It's just that an arrow pierced through my body. I'll be able to recover after a short rest." Wu Qiankun waved his hand, and said with a very casual tone.
It was as if these injuries meant nothing to him at all.
However, Wu Yu and the rest were shocked, just how terrifying was Da Shixiong's Qiankun Dao Body? If it could penetrate his body, then how terrifying was the arrow?
It was hard for them to imagine.
In reality, Wu Qiankun's injuries were much more severe than what he said. After all, that was an Emperor Level attack and it directly passed through his body. How could he possibly be fine?
He was currently showing indifference and calmness, only showing it to the people of other forces. If others were to know that he was injured at this moment, it would probably be detrimental to Martial Saint Palace.
Lu Jun looked in Wu Qiankun's direction. Upon reaching his current realm, his eyesight was extremely strong, even though Wu Qiankun's expression was indifferent and calm, and had covered up his injuries extremely well, Lu Jun could still tell that he was injured, and not light at that.
However, Lu Jun only took a casual glance before shifting his gaze away, and did not say much.
If he were to make a move on Wu Qiankun now, he had a very high chance of heavily injuring Wu Qiankun, preventing him from displaying his true strength in the later battles. This way, he would not be able to pose a threat to his victory.
However, Lu Jun would never do that, nor would he bother using such despicable methods to obtain victory. He admired Wu Qiankun's determination to pursue martial arts, and this kind of person was an opponent worthy of respect.
He wanted to fight for the championship, but he would defeat his opponent fair and square. In this way, it wouldn't go against his heart.
"Brother Wu, you've been in there for such a long time. Have you ever walked to the end of the Yellow Springs and seen the Yellow Springs Spirit Formation?" At this time, a voice came from a certain direction, and the person who spoke was Yun Yao.
Wu Qiankun looked at Yun Yao, and replied indifferently: "I haven't reached the end, but I saw the barrier."
As these words fell, the eyes of everyone present instantly focused, as a faint trace of shock was revealed on their faces.
Wu Qiankun, did he really see the barrier?
Lu Jun's heart also trembled slightly, just as he expected, Wu Qiankun continued to advance, no wonder he stayed inside for so long. However, this guy actually saw the barrier, although he had not reached the end, he was afraid he was not far away.
Thinking about it, Lu Jun looked at Wu Qiankun again. To be able to reach such a stage, it could be seen that he was extremely powerful.
"Is the Yellow Springs Heavenly Fury really that scary?" Yun Yao asked again.
"You'll know once you try it. Why ask me?" Wu Qiankun replied in an extremely domineering manner, causing his expression to instantly stiffen and become slightly awkward.
However, he did not dare refute him. With Wu Qiankun's strength, he was not a match for him.
"The difficulty of the Yellow Springs Heavenly Fury is extremely high, it's set up for the top evildoers of the Boundless Sea. Even if it's me, I can't reach the end of it.
Wu Qiankun said in a clear voice, his tone revealing an air of incomparable confidence. He could not walk to the end, and there was no one in the Xihua Islands who could do so.
The meaning of his words seemed to be that he was the strongest person in Xihua Islands.
Many people's eyes revealed a sharp glint of light, subconsciously looking towards the None-beginning Palace, as though wanting to see some reaction from his face.
However, everyone saw that Lu Jun's expression was still calm, he looked at Wu Qiankun and said: "Yellow Springs Heavenly Fury's difficulty level is indeed very high, I have personally experienced it before, but you claim that this test is for the top evildoers, what basis do you have?"
Wu Qiankun looked straight into Lu Jun's eyes, and answered: "I heard the Xi Hua Holy Lord's true voice."
Once he said that, the hearts of the people present trembled once again. Their eyes were all looking at Wu Qiankun in disbelief, he actually heard the true voice of the Xi Hua Holy Lord?
What kind of person was Xi Hua Holy Lord?
Countless years ago, the Xihua Islands was not like it is now, but was ruled by a strong power, which had written about it in many ancient books, called the Huatian Hall.
The master of the Huatian Hall was none other than the Xi Hua Holy Lord.
As such, the name Xihua Islands was derived from the name of the Xi Hua Holy Lord.
The Xi Hua Holy Lord ruled over the entire Xihua Islands. Although there were many experts under his command, the Xi Hua Holy Lord was the ruler of the entire world. His authority covered the entire Endless Territories.
During the time of the Xi Hua Holy Lord, their prestige was very strong, shaking the whole Boundless Sea. They were extremely famous in the entire Boundless Sea, and were not one bit inferior to some of the ancient families.
But after the fall of the Xi Hua Holy Lord, the prestige of the Huatian Hall began to decline, and the experts of the Xihua Islands were also unsettled about being restricted by the Huatian Hall, all of them started to establish their own sects, and some even sent troops to suppress the Huatian Hall.
Thousands of years later, the Huatian Hall could no longer withstand the suppression of the various forces and gradually walked towards its demise. It was drowned in the endless river of history and only the ancient books could find its former glory.
However, even though the Huatian Hall no longer existed, the name Xi Hua Holy Lord was still engraved in the minds of countless people in the Xihua Islands. Even now, when someone mentioned the Xi Hua Holy Lord, they would feel a sense of reverence and admiration.
After all, he was a peerless figure who brought glory to the Xihua Islands.
Right now, the status of the Xihua Islands could be said to be extremely low, being looked down upon by many islands. Many people were actually full of energy and wanted the Xihua Islands to regain its former glory, however, this was too difficult.
Without a true expert at the peak of the world, this was impossible.
Because of this, Xi Hua Holy Lord's position in the Xihua Islands became even higher. Since ancient times, he was the only one who could do it.
When everyone learned that Wu Qiankun had heard of Xi Hua Holy Lord's sound of zither, they all felt disbelief. If this was true, then Wu Qiankun was really too lucky!
"Wu Qiankun, was what you said true?" Li Liuxian could not help but ask.
"Is there any reason for me to lie to you?" Wu Qiankun looked at Li Liuxian coldly, then swept his gaze across the surrounding crowd and continued, "Even if some demon-level characters from the Boundless Sea's super power come, it's very possible that they won't be able to make it through."
Although Wu Qiankun had deduced this from the words that he had heard from the Xi Hua Holy Lord, he still believed in this point.
How powerful was the attack of an Empyrean level expert? Unless it was from a monstrous existence that was rarely seen, there was no way for him to ignore it.
And how many monstrous existences were there in this world?
There definitely wouldn't be a Xihua Islands.
That was why he said those words earlier. If he couldn't pass this challenge, none of the powers in the Xihua Islands would be able to pass it.
They had actually already believed Wu Qiankun's words. With Wu Qiankun's strength and position, there was no need for him to lie to everyone, and furthermore, the credibility of those words were very high.
After all, these three trials were set up by the Xi Hua Holy Lord back then, when the Huatian Hall was still around.
After the fall of the Xi Hua Holy Lord, the entire Xihua Islands entered into a period of turmoil, and the chaos did not cease. They gradually walked down the road of decline, and it seemed reasonable that no one had passed through the Huangquan Road in all these years.
"Since I am unable to pass the Huangquan Road, I can only continue to kill." Someone spoke up.
As the sound of his voice faded, the atmosphere instantly became tense. Just like when the battle had started, everyone tensed up, ready to fight at any moment.
At this moment, a blue-robed figure suddenly walked out, instantly attracting the attention of many people.
"Donghuang Yu, what is he doing?" The eyes of quite a few people flickered, seemingly filled with confusion.
Donghuang Yu had always been standing in front of those people, protecting everyone. Now that he had left without permission, could it be that he had given up?
All the Heaven's Pride from the great power were also watching Qin Xuan, amongst them were Yun Yao, Li Tianya, Qin Zhu and the others, they could not see through Qin Xuan's actions.
Everyone followed Qin Xuan's footsteps and moved, only to see that Qin Xuan had arrived in front of a camp and stopped in his tracks.
When the crowd saw the camp, their expressions became strange. Why would he go to None-beginning Palace?
Lu Jun saw that Qin Xuan was looking at him, and his eyes revealed surprise, could it be that she was looking for him?
