Qin Xiao wasn't an ant that could be easily manipulated. Even if they continued to attack, they probably wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
More importantly, once the stone tablet rang, the city lord would probably descend soon.
If the city lord saw this scene when he descended, how would he explain it?
After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, General Xi knew that he couldn't attack anymore. Therefore, he could only wave his hand at Xi Hai and the others, indicating that they should stop.
In fact, Great Immortal Xi Hai and the others also knew that it wasn't appropriate for them to attack anymore. After seeing General Xi Hai's decision, they couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
As expected —
A ray of light descended, and two figures descended one after another.
When they saw the two figures, General Xi, Immortal Xi Hai, and the others bowed respectfully.
Most of the people in the surroundings were the people of Heaven Mountain City, so they naturally recognized that it was the city lord and Young Master Xing An who had descended. They all bowed respectfully.
The prestige of the Heaven Mountain City Lord in Heaven Mountain City was supreme, and no one could shake it. He was an incomparably respected king in everyone's hearts.
Although he had always considered himself as the city lord, in the hearts of the people of Heaven Mountain City, he was the supreme king.
The Heavenly Mountain City Lord glanced at Immortal Xi Hai and the other 3 Immortals. Being glanced at by the Heavenly Mountain City Lord, the 4 Immortals started to think, 'Will the Heavenly Mountain City Lord blame us?'
However, the city lord didn't get angry. He only waved his hand at the four of them, indicating for them to leave.
Only then did Great Immortal Xi Hai and the others feel relieved. How would they dare to stay any longer? They quickly left and returned to the huge chariot.
After sending away Great Immortal Xi Hai and the others, the city lord waved his hand, and an energy bell instantly enveloped Qin Xiao's side, completely isolating him from the outside world.
In this way, Qin Xiao would be sufficiently protected from being disturbed by anyone.
At the crucial moment of comprehension and cultivation, there couldn't be any disturbance. Otherwise, it might have a great impact.
Young Master Xing An's gaze landed on Qin Xiao, and a few strange rays of light flashed in the depths of his eyes. It was very inconspicuous, and no one could detect it. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.
The Lord of Tianshan City slowly turned around and looked at General Xi and the others on the giant chariot.
In front of the Lord of Tianshan City, General Xi naturally restrained all his arrogance and became extremely respectful. He stood there with his head slightly lowered, waiting for the Lord of Tianshan City to deal with him.
Xi Hai and the other three stood respectfully with their heads lowered.
Xirenlong was so scared that his whole body trembled. He stood there with his head almost buried in his neck.
All of this had happened because of him.
He naturally understood the current situation. Qin Xiao was about to succeed in comprehending the True Word of Lin, which was why the Heaven Mountain City Lord valued him so highly.
It was absolutely impossible for him to provoke Qin Xiao again.
"General Xi —" The Lord of Heaven Mountain City suddenly spoke. His voice was not loud, and there was not much blame in it. It was a very calm voice, "You should take care of your descendants. It's better to be low-key and peaceful. It's not good to be too sharp, arrogant, and condescending.
。”
"There are some things that young people are impulsive and frivolous. You, General Xi, have lived for so long, so you shouldn't act so recklessly."
"Dignity is something you need others to give it to you and not something you snatch with your hegemony."
General Xi naturally understood what the Lord of Heaven Mountain City meant, so he didn't dare to refute. He could only nod his head submissively to show that he understood.
The Lord of Heaven Mountain City didn't say anything else. He just waved his hand gently at General Xi, indicating for him to leave.
General Xi didn't dare to say anything else and left with his men resentfully. Even if he had some complaints in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything.
He couldn't stand on reason in this matter, so he naturally didn't have the confidence to say anything else.
After General Xi and his men were sent away, the crowd in the surroundings started to discuss fervently again.
"Looks like it's true. Lord Qin Xiao is about to comprehend the True Word of Lin."
"That's right, it's too heaven-defying. Tsk tsk, the second person in ten thousand eras of Southern Desolation. Furthermore, such a speed far surpasses Young Master Yu Liang back then. "
"Shh, lower your voice. Young Master Xing An is there. You can't say such things carelessly."
"He's really a peerless monster. I admire him so much. I'm also envious. Tsk tsk, he can actually comprehend the True Word of Lin. "
"Hey, do you guys think that the Lord of Heaven Mountain City will accept Qin Xiao as his personal disciple?"
"Haha, I was also thinking about this question just now. I think the possibility is quite high, right? After all, it's only the second person in ten thousand eras of the universe. "
"I'm so envious. Sigh, but there's nothing to be envious about. So what if I'm envious? Comparisons will only make me angry. "
The Lord of Heaven Mountain City sized up Qin Xiao with a gentle gaze as if he wanted to see through everything about Qin Xiao.
However, after seeing everything, the Lord of Heaven Mountain City suddenly frowned slightly.
"This child ascended from the universe. His innate talent and potential are not bad. I'm deducing his fate, but it's actually so blurry. "
"He can comprehend the True Word of Lin as a First Step Celestial Venerable. He's really heaven-defying."
"In my Sky Mountain City, he has stirred up two big news. He killed a disciple of the Xi family at Flowery Full Tower and humiliated a core disciple of the Hill Ridge Immortal Sect at Enlightenment Forest. He even scared off the Black White Double Ghosts. "
"He refined a Buddhist weapon and his attainments in the mechanical array armor are also quite high. His ability to draw parallels is quite astonishing."
"This child is extremely monstrous in all aspects. He's like a mystery. Even I can't see through him."
"This child is probably someone with great providence. Those with great providence have an immeasurable future. With such innate talent and potential, his future is bound to be immeasurable. "
"However …"
The Lord of Heaven Mountain City shook his head secretly.
"Some things are good to think about, but the real development might not be so smooth."
"Back then, I placed all my thoughts and hopes on Xing An. I thought that in ten universe epochs, he would have a high chance of stepping onto the Ancient Road and becoming an Ancient Saint. However, I didn't expect that after a hundred universe epochs, he still hasn't taken that step and has been trapped.
He's stuck at the Fourth Step Celestial Venerable Realm and can't break through. "
"I put in so much effort to nurture him, but it didn't go as I wished."
"Although Qin Xiao seems to be extremely monstrous in all aspects for the time being, I might not be able to nurture him to the path of an Ancient Saint as I imagined."
"Nurturing Xing An has already exhausted all my mental and physical energy. Therefore, I've already decided that I won't accept any more disciples, no matter how monstrous or heaven-defying they are. If this happens again, the losses will outweigh the gains. "
"I've been disappointed once, and I don't want to be disappointed a second time. If I don't do it, there won't be any disappointment. "
As the Heaven Mountain City Lord pondered, he made up his mind.
Xing An stood there without saying a word. He only glanced at Qin Xiao from time to time, but there wasn't much friendliness in his eyes.
"Xing An, do you think that Qin Xiao can break through?" the Heaven Mountain City Lord suddenly asked.
Xing An looked at the Heaven Mountain City Lord and said, "Since he has already triggered the chime of the stone tablet in such a short time, his talent and comprehension are somewhat heaven-defying. Even I am ashamed of my inferiority."
"Back then, I also took a full hundred thousand years. Moreover, I was a Third Step Celestial Venerable back then. "
"Qin Xiao is only a First Step Celestial Venerable, but he only used ten thousand years to do what I did in a hundred thousand years."
"Therefore, there's definitely no problem for him to break through. I used exactly one million years to trigger the chime of the stone tablet to break through. Based on his situation, I estimate that he will break through in a hundred thousand years or at most two hundred thousand years. "
The Heaven Mountain City Lord nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Xing An's words.
To be able to trigger the chime of the stone tablet, comprehending the word "Lin" shouldn't be a problem.
The Heaven Mountain City Lord's gaze landed on Xing An, the disciple that he was once proud of.
Actually, the Heaven Mountain City Lord's feelings towards Xing An were slightly complicated. He was disappointed, but also felt that his request was too harsh. Why did he have to hope that he could step onto the ancient path?
In the long river of history, how many peerless geniuses had been buried?
Those who could step onto the ancient path were far too few. Even more geniuses would be buried.
To truly step onto the ancient path and become an ancient saint venerable, not only did one need peerless talent and potential, one also needed immense luck. Both were indispensable. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to succeed.
Xing An's being trapped was probably due to many factors.
He was a little disappointed that Xing An didn't live up to his expectations, but the Heaven Mountain City Lord didn't put too much pressure on him.
"Xing An, I'm not pressuring you anymore, nor am I expecting anything from you. You don't have to put invisible shackles on yourself. Master doesn't want to take in Qin Xiao as a disciple. You alone are enough for me. I don't want to take in anyone else as a disciple. "
The Heaven Mountain City Lord suddenly spoke in a gentle voice. His tone was like a father speaking to his beloved son.
It was a little loving, but also a little tongue-in-cheek.
It was a form of consolation.
Xing An's heart trembled slightly, and he looked at the Heaven Mountain City Lord in a daze. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Without waiting for Xing An to speak, the Heaven Mountain City Lord continued, "Xing An, your word" Lin "is only a small step away from major completion, but you haven't been able to take this step. It has been bothering you for over a hundred universe epochs."
"The deeper you are trapped, the more confused you are, and the harder it is for you to break through. I've told you this many times, but you still can't comprehend it or walk out of it. "
"Sometimes, don't be too stubborn. You can change your way of thinking, and there might be unexpected results."
The word "Lin" was also divided into a few stages. Like other immortal techniques and secret techniques, it was divided into four levels: elementary, minor completion, major completion, and perfection.
Being able to cultivate the word "Lin" to the major completion level was extremely powerful. It was probably enough to kill most fourth-step Celestial Venerables and high immortals.
As for the perfection level, it was enough to help one step onto the ancient path and become an ancient saint.
Young Master Xing An had cultivated for over a hundred universe epochs, but he was still stuck at the limit of the minor completion level. He was still a step away from the major completion level.
However, he couldn't take this small step. He couldn't break through. It was as if he had fallen into a terrifying whirlpool.
Xing An had heard his master's words many times, but it was useless. He couldn't comprehend it.
Therefore, he was in great pain in this whirlpool. Sometimes, he even felt like going crazy.
He knew that his master's words today were meant to console him. He wanted him to not think too much and not be too stubborn.
He wanted to, but he couldn't.
