Meeting the Master of the Mansion
The True Water Sect was the sect that Chen Tianshuo and the Master of the Divine Manor were from!
However, the True Water Sect wasn't very large, and it was merely a second rank sect in the Ancient Hallowed Domain!
Even though it showed signs of advancing into the third rank, it was exactly because of this advancement that all the other second rank sects coveted it.
After that, it was attacked by a group. Not only had it failed in its advancement, it had even been annihilated.
It was even to the extent that only the Master of the Divine Manor, Chen Tianshuo, and a few other small fries were lucky enough to survive.
This made Qin Shaofeng feel quite disappointed!
Because Qin Shaofeng had thought that Chen Tianshuo's sect was at least at the seventh or eighth rank!
Unfortunately, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!
However, it made sense. If it was really a seventh or eighth rank sect, then even if it was annihilated, then no matter how few or weak the survivors were, it would still be impossible for the Ancient Hallowed Domain to be annihilated.
After all, it was impossible for it to be unable to unify the entire continent after arriving at Quintessence Continent for a few hundred years!
Even though it was nothing in the Ancient Hallowed Domain, it was absolutely a colossus on Quintessence Continent if it was only at the second rank.
Fortunately, only Chen Tianshuo and a few others remained from the True Water Sect, and its resources and reserves weren't very wealthy.
It was exactly because of this that the resources and reserves they'd brought from the Ancient Hallowed Domain weren't very wealthy, and that was why no extra people had broken through into the ranks of Region Lords.
But in reality, the situation was slightly different.
Even if the environment and resources were insufficient, they were still from the Ancient Hallowed Domain in the end, so it was still possible for them to break through while they were only Region Lords.
However, all those who had broken through into the ranks of Region Lords had inexplicably vanished in the end.
This was the situation that Chen Tianshuo was aware of.
In the beginning, Chen Tianshuo didn't pay much attention to it. Even though he was surprised by the disappearance of his senior brothers, as far as he was concerned, it might have been done by some other power on Quintessence Continent.
However, Chen Tianshuo suddenly noticed by chance that all his senior brothers who had vanished were on the verge of breaking through or had already broken through into the ranks of Region Lords.
This made Chen Tianshuo feel that something was off!
One could be considered a coincidence, but two or three of such situations were definitely not a coincidence. It was definitely abnormal.
This made Chen Tianshuo pay more attention. After some investigation, Chen Tianshuo realized that all the people who had gone missing were related to his eldest senior brother, the master of the Divine Palace.
Furthermore, Chen Tianshuo was able to confirm this as he continued his investigation.
None of his fellow disciples had gone missing because of the factions on the Origin Continent, but because of him, the master of the Divine Palace.
This made Chen Tianshuo feel uneasy!
After that, Chen Tianshuo started to prepare and gather all resources in secret in order to make preparations for his advancement into the ranks of Region Lords.
As for the two great artifacts of Nine Clouds Sect, it was said that the Nine Jade contained a special kind of Spiritual Qi. This Spiritual Qi was of a much higher grade compared to the Spiritual Qi of the Source Continent.
It was because of this unreliable rumor that Chen Tianshuo decided to take action against the Nine Clouds Sect.
When he found out that the Nine Clouds Sect had suffered annihilation because of this, Qin Shaofeng was furious to the point of almost killing Chen Tianshuo on the spot.
However, Qin Shaofeng had restrained himself in the end and didn't attack Chen Tianshuo right away.
Because Chen Tianshuo had told Qin Shaofeng that the Master of the Divine Palace had actually broken through into the ranks of Region Lords 500 years ago.
Even though the environment on Origin Continent wasn't suitable for Region Lords to cultivate at all.
However, after one broke through into the ranks of Region Lords, one could utilize the energy of the world within one's body to link up with the energy of space and rely on it to cultivate.
Even though such a speed of cultivation was extremely slow and complicated.
However, no matter how slow it was, 500 years of time was sufficient for the Master of the Divine Palace to possess an extremely formidable strength.
According to Chen Tianshuo's estimations, his senior brother, the Master of the Divine Palace, probably possessed at least 20 levels of Domain.
It was even to the extent that the Master of the Divine Palace might have even cultivated 30 levels of Domain!
Since it was like that, then Qin Shaofeng was naturally even more unable to kill Chen Tianshuo at will.
After all, even though he'd obtained an understanding of the Master of the Divine Palace, Qin Shaofeng still intended to utilize Chen Tianshuo to the fullest extent possible.
For three days in a row, the Master of the Divine Palace seemed to have forgotten about Qin Shaofeng, and he didn't look for Qin Shaofeng at all.
However, Qin Shaofeng was clearly aware that it wouldn't be long before the Master of the Divine Palace came looking for him.
Sure enough, on the fourth day, Qin Shaofeng was summoned by the Master of the Divine Palace.
On this day, Qin Shaofeng arrived at the Master of the Divine Palace under the lead of a Suzerain Realm expert.
The Master of the Divine Palace's palace wasn't simple at all.
Not only was it situated at the center of the castle in the sky, it was extremely grand and resplendent. It occupied an extremely large area, and it was practically a twentieth of the entire castle in the sky.
Given the size of the castle in the sky, a twentieth of it was extremely large.
Qin Shaofeng now knew that the castle in the sky was actually a great treasure of the True Water Sect.
According to Chen Tianshuo, the Master of the True Water Sect had obtained it from an Almighty Inheritance Cave in the Ancient Holy Region.
It was also because of the castle in the sky that the True Water Sect had the ability to ascend to the rank of a third-grade sect.
Unfortunately, although the True Water Sect had taken extreme measures to keep the castle in the sky a secret, the other second-grade sects had eventually found out that the True Water Sect had obtained a treasure.
In the end, the True Water Sect had suffered a calamity of annihilation because of this!
However, Qin Shaofeng was extremely curious.
It was truly incredible that the Master of the Divine Palace had the ability to take the castle in the midst of such a calamity.
However, after thinking about it carefully, perhaps the Master of the True Water Sect had entrusted the castle to the Master of the Divine Palace before his death!
Qin Shaofeng's guess was actually not wrong.
At the last moment, the Master of the True Water Sect had handed the castle to the Master of the Divine Palace and allowed him to escape with the castle in the sky.
There were two reasons why the Sect Master of the True Water Sect did this instead of entrusting the Sky Fortress to a powerhouse.
Firstly, the experts of the True Water Sect had not been able to escape safely at that time, because every one of them had been closely watched by the experts of the other second-grade sects.
Secondly, which was also the most important reason, was the identity of the Master of the Divine Palace.
Back then, no one in the True Water Sect knew that the master of the Divine Palace was not only a disciple of the True Water Sect, but also a disciple of one of the three great elders of the True Water Sect. He also had an unusual relationship with the master of the True Water Sect.
This was because the Master of the Divine Palace was the illegitimate son of the Master of the True Water Sect.
Because of this relationship, the Master of the True Water Sect had handed the castle in the sky to the Master of the Divine Palace at the last moment.
Of course, Qin Shaofeng still did not know about this.
Qin Shaofeng was only feeling emotional at the moment. The palace of the Master of the Divine Palace on the castle in the sky was so huge, gorgeous, and luxurious!
At the same time, Qin Shaofeng also had a little idea!
The castle in the sky was an object of the Ancient Sacred Region and had come from the land of inheritance of an Almighty. It was definitely not a small matter.
Although the castle in the sky seemed very powerful, only Qin Shaofeng, who knew a little about it, was very clear.
The castle in the sky was probably only able to display less than one percent of its power.
If a true expert was to control the castle in the sky, the power it could display would definitely be earth-shattering.
Qin Shaofeng did not want to miss out on such a treasure.
Of course, the biggest problem for Qin Shaofeng to obtain this treasure was the Master of the Divine Palace.
In any case, the Master of the Divine Palace was an obstacle to Qin Shaofeng.
He had to be dealt with!
…
After walking into the palace and walking around for a while, Qin Shaofeng was brought to the Master of the Divine Palace by the Suzerain.
This was a large hall in the palace. It was dazzling and decorated in gold and jade, and the decorations were very impressive.
Qin Shaofeng glanced over and saw 12 huge golden pillars.
These 12 pillars were carved with some divine beasts. They were all dragons, phoenixes, and qilins. There were four of each type, and they were located in the north, south, east, and west directions.
However, what shocked Qin Shaofeng the most was that these 12 statues were so lifelike that Qin Shaofeng felt as though an almighty powerhouse had forcefully inlaid the statues with three living divine beasts — a dragon, a phoenix, and a kirin.
However, Qin Shaofeng was soon dumbfounded by this thought.
Real dragons, phoenixes, and qilins?
How was this possible?
This sky fortress came from the Ancient Sacred Realm, and the dragons, phoenixes, and qilins in the Ancient Sacred Realm were all divine beasts. Their strength was even stronger than some of the Ancient Sacred Clans.
Moreover, given the situation of those divine beasts, how could they allow someone to imprison their own kind on the golden pillars?
With this thought, Qin Shaofeng couldn't help but dispel this ridiculous thought.
However, when he saw the sculptures on the pillars again, Qin Shaofeng didn't know why, but he had an inexplicable feeling in the depths of his heart.
"Qin Shaofeng, you're here?"
Right at this moment, an indifferent and cold voice from the high seat in the hall interrupted the thoughts in Qin Shaofeng's heart.
Raising his head to look, Qin Shaofeng saw a person seated on the only chair at the highest point of the large hall. The voice just now was emitted from this person's mouth.
This person was the Divine Palace Master!
In fact, at this moment, Qin Shaofeng suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to know the name of the Divine Palace Master!
However, this wasn't important.
He cupped his fists and said loudly to the Divine Palace Master, "Greetings, Divine Palace Master!"
"Mm!"
The Divine Palace Master nodded. He was very satisfied with Qin Shaofeng's attitude.
After dismissing the Suzerain who had brought Qin Shaofeng over, the Divine Palace Master spoke again. "Qin Shaofeng, to be honest, your performance surprised me because I didn't believe that you could kill my Junior Brother at first. But now you're saying that you've done it. This is quite a shock to me! "
"You must be joking, Divine Palace Master. Although I have some strength, I'm still lacking compared to you!"
Qin Shaofeng smiled faintly and lowered his posture.
In fact, in Qin Shaofeng's heart, it would be best if he didn't clash with the Divine Palace Master now.
After all, the Divine Palace Master's strength was unfathomable, which made Qin Shaofeng uncertain.
Qin Shaofeng wasn't afraid of the Divine Palace Master.
However, Qin Shaofeng also knew that if he fought with the Divine Palace Master now, his chances of winning weren't high.
