Halfway up the mountain, Ning Qi arrived at a simple courtyard. He smiled and said, "Disciple Ning Beixuan greets Elder Duan!"
At the same time, Elder Duan, who was cultivating in the stone room, was startled. There was a flash of surprise in his eyes as he walked out of the courtyard with his cane and looked at Ning Qi in surprise.
"Why did you come back? The Supreme Saint Council is looking for you. Don't you know? "
Elder Duan's expression was a bit strange.
Before Ning Qi could say anything, her expression suddenly changed, and she looked Ning Qi up and down suspiciously. Ning Qi looked at Grand Elder Duan with a smile. A short while later, Grand Elder Duan said in shock, "Your aura is very similar to the Pavilion Master's. Have you broken through the shackles of the Imperishable Realm and become a Martial Emperor?"
"That's right, I just broke through a while ago."
Ning Qi nodded with a smile.
Elder Duan pondered for a while and then said with a strange expression, "You are indeed worthy of being someone who can communicate with the forbidden star. In such a short period of time, it's like your cultivation has increased by leaps and bounds. However, the Emperor Realm is extremely difficult to reach. In order to break through, you have to go through countless lightning tribulations, including the Sovereign Heavenly Tribulation set up by the Supreme Saint Council. Many people have died at this trial and are unable to reach the Emperor Realm. You must have put in a lot of effort to break through, right?"
"I did put in a lot of effort, but … I'll tell Elder Duan about this later."
Ning Qi nodded with a smile.
He didn't plan to lie to Grand Elder Duan about the Fortune Divine Realm. If Grand Elder Duan had any ulterior motives, he could have gotten the Supreme Holy Assembly's cultivators to capture him when he communicated with the forbidden star. Instead, Grand Elder Duan hid this matter. Later on, the Ancient Star Pavilion's attitude after the Jiang family was destroyed made Ning Qi very satisfied.
However, the most important reason was that when he broke through to the Reincarnation Realm, the memory of someone holding the sun and moon and plucking the stars appeared in his mind. There was a 99% chance that it was Ning Qi's previous life. In the end, the relationship between Ning Qi and the Ancient Star Pavilion was extremely close!
Sou sou sou!
Several guards of the main sect ran toward them at top speed. In the main sect, ordinary cultivators were not qualified to fly in the air and could only rely on their feet. When they reached the gate of the yard, they quickly bowed to Grand Secretary Duan and then looked at Ning Qi with a strange expression.
"Elder Duan, without your permission, Ning Beixuan …"
"Alright, you guys can leave."
Grand Secretary Duan waved his hand.
The guards of the main branch were startled for a moment before they awkwardly nodded and left. They secretly thought that Elder Duan really treated Ning Qi very well. No wonder Jiang Wankong didn't ask the Ancient Star System Pavilion to help even though he had to kneel before the main branch.
"Grand Elder Duan, there's something I don't quite understand. I wonder if Grand Elder Duan can enlighten me?"
Ning Qi cupped his hands and smiled.
Grand Secretary Duan said with a smile, "Speak."
"I wonder how many generations our Ancient Star Pavilion has been passed down for? Compared to the Xuanyuan Immortal School in the Bone Burial Site, which one is stronger? "
Ning Qi asked.
"It looks like you've learned a lot of secrets after reaching the Great Emperor Realm. The Xuanyuan Immortal School has existed for too long, and only old guys like me know a thing or two from ancient books. Compared to the Xuanyuan Immortal School, our Ancient Star System Pavilion was naturally not weaker. Otherwise, how could our Ancient Star System Pavilion have survived to this day after the Xuanyuan Immortal School was destroyed?"
Grand Secretary Duan smiled with a hint of pride in his tone.
Not weaker than the Xuanyuan Immortal School?
Ning Qi was a bit surprised. He was just casually asking. In truth, what he really wanted to ask was how many generations the Ancient Star Pavilion had existed for. As long as he knew this, he would be able to deduce which generation he was. He didn't expect Pavilion Elder Duan to admit that the Ancient Star Pavilion was stronger than the Xuanyuan Celestial Sect.
"In that era, the Great Emperor Realm was nothing in this world. Only those who reached the seventh step could be considered the strongest in the world. Every powerful sect had a seventh step cultivator. The Xuanyuan Immortal School had one, and our Ancient Star System Pavilion had two. They were both at the Tai Li Realm!" Grand Secretary Duan sighed.
Pavilion Elder Duan let out a sigh. "Unfortunately, the war between the Ten Thousand Races reached its end and the flames of war spread to the God Luo Realm. Many sects suffered because of this. Some people deliberately took advantage of the situation and used the war as a cover to slaughter seventh step cultivators. The Xuanyuan Celestial Sect was destroyed because of this. Our Ancient Star System Pavilion was lucky. Out of two seventh step cultivators, one died and the other survived for a while. In the end, we managed to preserve a sliver of hope and didn't end up like the Xuanyuan Celestial Sect."
Two seventh step cultivators?
Was the Ancient Star System Pavilion that strong?
Ning Qi was startled. At this moment, he could at least confirm one thing. In his memory, the Ancient Star System Pavilion was not from the same era as the Xuanyuan Immortal School.
"Grand Secretary Duan, the truth of this matter …"
Ning Qi's eyes lit up.
"My father told me this when he was still alive. When I was young, he told me this as a story. It wasn't until I grew up that I realized it might have happened."
Grand Secretary Duan smiled.
"Those people who took advantage of the situation …"
Ning Qi seemed to have guessed something.
Seeing this, Grand Elder Duan smiled at Ning Qi and said, "You should be able to guess it, so we won't talk about it. It's been a long time, and the Divine Luo World is now the strongest. It's almost impossible for the Divine Luo World to regain its former glory. As for you, I'm really surprised that you could break through to the Great Emperor Realm so quickly. However, you can't stay here for long. In your previous life, the Supreme Saint Parliament asked Great Emperor Jiang to kill you. In this life, you've destroyed the Jiang Family.
"Grand Secretary Duan, I obtained an identity in the Immemorial Land and am now a cultivator of the Boundless World. As for what happened in my previous life, it's not a big deal. I changed my name to Wu Yin in the Immemorial Land, so they won't be able to tell my real identity in a short period of time. I heard that the Holy Assembly has a patroller in the Tai Li Land called the Eternal Sword Emperor. I wonder what rank of Great Emperor he is?"
Ning Qi smiled.
A cultivator of the Boundless World?
Grand Secretary Duan's expression changed slightly. If Ning Qi was a cultivator of the Boundless World and a Great Emperor, then he could indeed forget about the Jiang family. However, he was afraid that Ning Qi's identity in the Immemorial Land would be exposed. That was the base of the Holy Assembly. If it was exposed, even a Great Emperor would have a hard time escaping!
"The Eternal Sword Emperor is a Third Revolution Great Emperor, and his cultivation is the same as Great Emperor Jiang. Now that you're a Great Emperor and you're in the Immemorial Star Pavilion, even if he comes here personally, he won't be able to do anything to you. However, two Great Emperors have joined the Holy Assembly in such a short period of time, so it's easy for people to think that you're the same person. Do you have a backup plan?"
Grand Secretary Duan's eyes flickered with seriousness.
"Of course I have a backup plan, and it's closely related to my advancement to the Great Emperor Realm. I'll report it to you after I get rid of the Eternal Sword Emperor."
Ning Qi smiled and brought the topic back to the Immemorial Star Pavilion. "Grand Secretary Duan, I wonder who in the Immemorial Star Pavilion said that …"
