C2504 Imperfection
Earlier, they'd heard the ancestor's voice.
The Ancestor said that he wanted True Lord Taihua to leave.
This gave rise to a bad premonition in their hearts. The Grand Elder might have lost.
After all, if the Grand Elder won, then the Patriarch wouldn't say a word. The Patriarch was worried that the Grand Elder would send people to attack him out of anger, which was why he had said such words.
Adept Ling Xu and the other elders of the Taihua Immortal Sect all had extremely unsightly expressions on their faces, especially Daoist Master Ling Xu. His body trembled slightly. If Grand Elder were to be defeated, it was hard for him to imagine how the Grand Elder would deal with him.
It was likely that he would vent out all the humiliation and anger from that battle onto him.
As he thought of this, Ling Xu felt regret in his heart. He could only regret that he did not ruthlessly obstruct Lei Yuan, resulting in the consequences today. Unfortunately, he regretted too late.
At this moment, a figure descended from the skies. It was none other than True Lord Taishang.
The gazes of the crowd shifted to the skies, but they didn't see the silhouette of the Great Elder. They couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt in their hearts. Where did the Great Elder go?
However, they never would have thought that in their eyes, the supreme Great Elder would suffer an unprecedented humiliation in this battle. He would be seriously injured, and would naturally not have the face to see the crowd, directly heading to the secret realm to recover from his injuries.
The Grand Sage turned his gaze onto the experts from the Supreme Splendor Immortal Sect. There wasn't much of a ripple on his face as he turned and stepped into the void, disappearing from the line of sight of the crowd.
"You're just going to leave like that?" The hearts of the crowd trembled violently, feeling extremely unresigned.
Who would have thought that one of the top mid tier powers, the Taihua Immortal School, would be defeated by someone today, and then leave in a carefree manner.
If today's matter were to spread out, it would cause countless people to laugh.
"Pass down the order, no one is allowed to divulge even half of what happened today." Ling Xu said in a deep voice.
The spectators silently nodded their heads. In reality, there wasn't even a need to issue any orders, and there probably wouldn't be anyone who would want to divulge this matter. This was too embarrassing.
… ….
After the True Saint returned to the thunder lagoon, many people came forward to welcome him. When they saw that he was safe and sound, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, they felt even more admiration for the True Saint's strength.
He had barged through the door of Ottawa and returned safe and sound. There probably weren't many people in the entire Zhongliu Continent who could do this.
"Where's Qin Xuan?" Looking around, the Grand Sage didn't see Qin Xuan. Thus, he couldn't help but ask the crowd.
"He is in closed-door training and has yet to come out." Lei Yuan replied.
"So that's how it is." At this time, Lei Yuan suddenly thought of something and said, "Not long ago, the experts of the Cloud Sky Immortal Mansion came. Initially, they wanted to pay their respects to Master, but when they found out that you were not here, they left."
"They actually came?" A strange light appeared in the eyes of the Grand Sage, but he didn't ask any further. He believed that they would definitely return in the future.
"Everyone, you may disperse." True Lord Taishang said.
"We bid you farewell." Everyone cupped their hands in greeting. They also had their own matters to attend to, but upon hearing that the True Lord had returned, they all came to welcome him.
After that, True Lord Taishang returned to his own palace. A powerful will was released, enveloping the entire palace. Scenes of what everyone was doing could be seen clearly in his mind, as if everything was under his control.
The eyes of the True Lord Taishang landed on a certain direction. Within a pure white palace, a figure of white-clothed youth sat within. It was none other than Qin Xuan.
At this time, Qin Xuan's entire body was surrounded by an incredibly powerful halo. Like a whirlpool, he greedily absorbed the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, and a silver pupil appeared between his eyebrows, as though it contained a terrifying power.
"That is …" The Grand Sage's gaze suddenly froze as he stared fixedly at the silver pupils in his eyes. Then, he thought about how Qin Xuan had claimed that he had obtained Void Empyrean Sovereign's inheritance, and a faint guess arose in his heart.
"Only those who are experienced will be able to recognize him. Everyone has been in the spotlight for hundreds of years. Will the person who has been the leader of this generation be you?" He then retracted his consciousness and closed his eyes, as if he was in a deep sleep.
One month later, Qin Xuan walked out of the palace.
After finding out that he had come out, Murong Guangzhao, Chu Feng, Mo Lishang and the others came one after another. They all obviously wanted to know how much progress he had made in his closed door training this time.
"When does Palace Lord plan to break through?" Mo Lishang looked at Qin Xuan and asked with a hint of anticipation in his eyes. With Qin Xuan's talent, once he broke through to the Saint realm, who knows how far his strength would go.
"For the time being, I don't have any thoughts of breaking through. I'll just wait and see." Qin Xuan replied with a smile.
"No idea?" The expressions of the crowd faltered, they couldn't wait to break through. This fellow had already been in closed-door seclusion for a month, yet he didn't even have any thoughts of breaking through?
"During this month of cultivation, I have comprehended all the powers I had previously. Although I have already reached the Large Success Stage, if I were to break through like this, I feel that I am still lacking something, something that is not perfect." Qin Xuan said again.
"What's not perfect?" Jiang Fengjue asked curiously.
"I don't know." Qin Xuan smiled bitterly. It was because he couldn't think of anything that wasn't perfect that he ended his closed door training.
The corner of Jiang Fengjue's mouth twitched. Then, he said, "Why don't you ask Master? Maybe he can give you some advice."
"Mm, I had the same idea." Qin Xuan nodded.
After a period of time, Qin Xuan arrived at the palace where True Lord Taishang resided.
Seemingly aware of Qin Xuan's arrival, the Grand Sage opened his eyes. A smile appeared on his aged face as he said, "I've come out of closed door cultivation."
"True Lord." Qin Xuan opened his mouth and shouted, "I have some doubts, I am here to consult the True Lord."
"Tell me about it." The Great Sage said with a smile. Then, Qin Xuan revealed what he didn't understand.
The Grand Sage muttered to himself for a moment before replying, "The path of cultivation is filled with difficulties. With your current strength, you must be a powerful Saint to have reached the sage realm. However, if you want to achieve true perfection, the difficulty is extremely high."
"Exactly." Qin Xuan nodded in agreement. The closer they got to the peak, the harder it was to climb.
"Since you are not in a hurry to break through to the next stage, just let nature take its course. If you do what you want to do, you might be able to obtain different insights from it." The Grand Sage spoke.
"Going to gain experience?" Qin Xuan's eyes flickered with a strange light as he came up with an idea. After which, he bowed to True Lord Taishang and said, "Thank you for your advice, True Lord."
"You're welcome." The Great Sage casually waved his hand.
"Junior will take his leave now." Qin Xuan excused himself and left the hall!
