C2650 The Time Has Come
C2650 The Time Has Come
Zhou Ji's eyes slightly focused, but his face did not show much emotion. He could vaguely guess the reason behind it. The previous person was stronger than this person.
If he ascended to the seventh level, the Weapon Spirit would naturally not allow another person to ascend.
Jiang Fengjue's gaze swept across the many figures in the sky. He realized that Qin Xuan had not come out yet. They were all waiting for Qin Xuan.
If his guess was correct, Qin Xuan should have reached the seventh floor.
Nan Xiaoxiang's beautiful eyes stared intently at the pagoda in front of her. Her heart was in turmoil. Even though she had overestimated Qin Xuan's talent, she still did not expect him to reach the seventh floor. This had simply broken her understanding.
According to what she knew, the last person to step onto the seventh floor was Old Pavilion Master.
Now that Qin Xuan had done the same thing, didn't this mean that Qin Xuan's future accomplishments would reach the level of Old Pavilion Master?
This was simply...
It wasn't because she didn't think that Qin Xuan's talent was strong enough, it was just that Pavilion Master Penglai held an extremely high position in her heart, like a god. Now that she found out that Qin Xuan was on the same level as Pavilion Master Penglai, she couldn't accept it for a moment.
It wasn't just Nan Xiaoxiang, everyone else also felt the same way.
Only Jiang Fengjue remained calm. It was as if all of this was normal and natural. Now, he had a blind trust in Qin Xuan. It was as if there was nothing in this world that he couldn't do.
After a while, a white-clothed figure walked out of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. It was Qin Xuan.
When he saw the figures in the sky, his expression froze. Then, he noticed Zhou Ji in the crowd. He seemed to have understood something and said with a smile, "I have offended you many times in the tower. Please forgive me."
"It's just a small matter. It's nothing worth mentioning." Zhou Ji replied calmly. There was not a hint of anger on his face.
Qin Xuan's gaze couldn't help but reveal a wisp of surprise when he saw Zhou Ji's expression, and he thought to himself that he was worthy of being the number one genius of Penglai Immortal Realm. Such an extraordinary state of mind was indeed not something an ordinary person could compare to.
Besides that, he noticed that Zhou Ji's cultivation had already attained the peak of the Second Order Saint Realm, and he seemed to not be far from the Third Order Saint Realm. Obviously, Zhou Ji was only a First Order Saint when he first ascended the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
"I heard that there is something extraordinary on the seventh floor. What did you see?" Nan Jijian looked at Qin Xuan and asked. His eyes were full of curiosity.
"Yeah, what exactly is on the seventh floor?" Everyone looked at Qin Xuan with anticipation. They had only heard that Old Pavilion Master had ascended to the seventh floor, but no one knew what was on it.
"The seventh floor involves the secrets of Penglai Pavilion. It's not convenient for me to reveal it now. I think it's better for Pavilion Master Penglai to tell you personally in the future." Qin Xuan replied with a smile. Since it was a secret, he naturally could not reveal it to others.
"Alright." Everyone sighed. Their eyes were filled with disappointment, but they could understand what Qin Xuan was doing. The secret of Penglai Pavilion wasn't something they could come into contact with.
At this moment, Zhou Ji's eyes contained a deep meaning. No one knew what he was thinking.
He had once heard from the elders of his family that Penglai Pavilion was an extremely powerful existence in the past. There were many experts in the pavilion. It was far from being comparable to the current one. Later on, some things happened and it declined. He wondered if it was related to that secret.
He had even gone to Penglai Pavilion to ask Old Pavilion Master directly, but Old Pavilion Master had asked him to return. He said that the time had come, and everything would be revealed.
Now, was the time?
"I found you a place to stay. You should go back and rest first." Nan Jijian said to Qin Xuan and Jiang Fengjue. Qin Xuan cupped his fists and said, "Thank you."
"You are guests specially invited by Penglai Island. As the host, we naturally have to take good care of you." Nan Jijian waved his hand and said, and he seemed to be extremely warm and amiable.
After that, Qin Xuan and Jiang Fengjue left with Nan Jijian. The rest of the people also dispersed.
A few days later, outside the pavilion where Qin Xuan and Jiang Feng lived, two figures descended from the sky. They were a young man and a woman. They were Nan Jijian and Nan Xiaoxiang.
"Is Brother Qin in there?" Nan Jijian asked the pavilion.
"Yes." A hearty voice was heard from the pavilion. Then, two figures walked out. They were Qin Xuan and Jiang Fengjue.
Qin Xuan looked at the two people in front of him and said with a smile, "You two came together because you have something important to tell me."
"Yes, Old Pavilion Master asked you to come over." Nan Jijian nodded and said.
Qin Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard these words. Was the time finally here?
"I'll go now." Qin Xuan said to the two of them. He soared into the sky at any time and headed straight for Penglai Pavilion. He had been strolling in Penglai Immortal Domain these past few days, and had roughly figured out the situation here.
Nan Jijian and Nan Xiaoxiang looked at Qin Xuan's departing figure, and their expressions became serious. They knew that Qin Xuan's departure was very important, and it had something to do with the secrets of Penglai Pavilion.
Because of this, they had a slight worry in their hearts. They didn't know what would happen.
After a period of time, Qin Xuan arrived above the island where Penglai Pavilion was located. His body slowly descended and he stepped into Penglai Pavilion.
Soon, he saw the young man again. When the young man saw him walking over, a bright smile appeared on his tender face. "We meet again!"
"That's right." Qin Xuan nodded with a smile. "After today, I will know who you are."
"I want to know too." The young man spoke, and his eyes seemed to contain a trace of confusion. He'd been cultivating by Old Pavilion Master's side since he was born, and he'd never left Penglai Pavilion. He didn't know what the outside world was like, and he didn't even know how many clans there were in Penglai Immortal Domain.
He knew that his background was extraordinary, but every time he asked Old Pavilion Master about it, he'd never gotten an answer. After that, he didn't ask any more questions.
Today, all the secrets would be revealed.
"Let's go together." The young man said to Qin Xuan.
"Alright." Qin Xuan nodded, then the two of them walked towards the spatial formation.
The spatial formation lit up with rays of bright light. The two of them were instantly engulfed by the light. A moment later, they arrived at the top floor of Penglai Pavilion.
The two of them walked out of the spatial formation. Before long, they arrived at the deepest part of the palace. In front of them, there was a skinny old man sitting there. He didn't emit any aura, but there was a divine light shining behind him, giving off a holy aura.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master." Qin Xuan bowed towards the old man and greeted him. The young man also said, "Senior brother."
Qin Xuan's expression froze when he heard the name, as if he had heard something unbelievable.
This young man was actually addressing Pavilion Master Penglai as his senior brother.
Were they fellow brothers?
At this moment, many absurd thoughts arose in Qin Xuan's heart. Could it be that this young man was really an old man, but he had returned to his youth and lost his memories?
However, this didn't seem very reasonable. His cultivation base was only at the Middle Rank of Monarch Stage realm. If he had returned to his youth, his cultivation base should still be there.
"You've already met him." Pavilion Master Penglai looked at Qin Xuan and suddenly asked.
Qin Xuan was stunned for a moment. Then he understood who Pavilion Master Penglai was referring to. He nodded. "I see."
"He is a figure from the ancient era. He once built a force in the Divine World. It is the current Penglai Pavilion." The Penglai Pavilion Master spoke slowly, and his eyes revealed a wisp of reverence. If it wasn't for him, the Penglai Pavilion wouldn't exist, much less them.
Qin Xuan's expression was indifferent as usual. Heavenly Venerate Penglai's title was Penglai, and it was obvious that he had a close relationship with Penglai Pavilion. He'd already guessed that Penglai Pavilion was created by Heavenly Venerate Penglai.
"According to what Senior said, Penglai Pavilion should be in the God Realm. Why would it appear in the Boundless Sea?" Qin Xuan asked. This was what he truly did not understand.
"That year, an ancient war broke out. In order to protect Penglai Pavilion, he used a supreme divine ability to move Penglai Immortal Realm into the Profound Sky Continent, sealing it within the Boundless Sea. No one could detect it." The Penglai Pavilion Master explained.
"So that's how it is."
Qin Xuan couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart. Moving a mystic realm from the Divine World to the lower realm was a terrifying feat that only an Empyrean could accomplish.
Moreover, Heavenly Venerate Penglai had concealed the Penglai Immortal Realm within his Boundless Sea and hadn't been discovered by the foreign evil races. From this, it could be seen that his methods were extremely superb. He was probably not an ordinary Empyrean.
"Then he went to kill the enemy?" Qin Xuan asked again.
"Yes, he died in the ancient war." Pavilion Master Penglai nodded. His tone was filled with a sigh. Qin Xuan felt sorry for him, but at the same time, he admired Heavenly Venerate Penglai's character.
He could completely avoid the ancient war and hide in Penglai Immortal's territory so that the foreign evil races would not be able to find him. However, he did not do that. After moving Penglai Immortal Realm to the Boundless Sea, he went out to kill the enemy. This kind of fearless spirit was worthy of the respect of future generations.
At this moment, Qin Xuan couldn't help but think of Empyrean Devour, Void Empyrean Sovereign, Empyrean Samsara, and Empyrean Smoke Cloud. They were all the same type of people. In order to protect the peace of the Nine Mysterious Star Region, they didn't hesitate to sacrifice their own lives.
In that glorious era, there were many warriors like them.
Suddenly, Qin Xuan thought of something. A look of shock flashed across his eyes. He looked at Pavilion Master Penglai and probed. "In this way, aren't these clans that live in Penglai Immortal Realm the descendants of the ancient gods?"
"You can say so."
Pavilion Master Penglai nodded and continued. "All those years ago, there were countless disciples under him. Not only did he go out to kill the enemy, many disciples left without any hesitation, and they left their loved ones in Penglai Immortal Realm. Only one disciple stayed behind. " He's his little disciple. All those years ago, his cultivation was too low, so he didn't participate in that battle. "
"He left behind another disciple."
Qin Xuan's pupils suddenly contracted. Then, he subconsciously looked at the young man beside him. A bold thought involuntarily appeared in his mind.
Could this young man be...
When the young man heard Pavilion Master Penglai's words, his expression was incomparably shocked. His heart rose and fell violently, as if he had also guessed some kind of possibility!
