On the third floor of the Profound Sky Pavilion, after hearing the old man's words, Xiao Yan's heart froze. With regards to the rules of the Profound Sky Pavilion, if it wasn't for Ling 'er's explanation earlier, he wouldn't have known at all. However, he didn't expect that the mysterious old man would mention it again at this moment. This caused Xiao Yan to be at a loss.
With the astonishing pressure above his head, Xiao Yan was silent for a while before he said with some difficulty,
"I'm sorry. This is the first time this junior has entered. No one told me the rules here."
"Hmph, forget it. Those who don't know can't be blamed. Since it's your first offense, you can leave now."
Hearing this, the mysterious old man snorted softly. At the same time, the imposing pressure on Xiao Yan's body also dissipated. However, without waiting for Xiao Yan to make a move, another aged voice sounded again.
"Remember, after entering the Profound Sky Pavilion, anyone can only take one thing away. Moreover, they must return it to its original place within three months. Otherwise, they will be punished according to the clan rules."
After these words were spoken, Xiao Yan's heart suddenly sank. The expression on his face couldn't help but change slightly. Today, he entered the Profound Sky Pavilion not only for the Fire God's Fury. However, the words of the mysterious old man at this moment had completely destroyed his plans.
However, even if he was unwilling in his heart, the rules were like this. At this moment, he could only helplessly accept it.
Letting out a long breath, Xiao Yan helplessly curled his lips. He lifted his feet and walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor. The two mysterious old men once again fell into silence.
"Heh, this little fellow seems to be somewhat unwilling."
In the top floor of the Profound Sky Pavilion, two old men were sitting cross-legged. Their bodies didn't move at all. Although their old eyes were closed, they knew everything that happened in the pavilion like the back of their hands. At this moment, seeing the unwilling expression on Xiao Yan's face, one of them couldn't help but laugh.
"Rules are rules. The First Elder has already been very tolerant of him. He definitely can't make an exception for him."
Compared to the former, the other old man seemed much more rigid. His tone was indifferent, and his voice carried a cold aura that kept people thousands of miles away. The laughing old man seemed to be used to this. He only chuckled and said again.
"Hehe, of course we can't break the rules. However, I also remember that although we can only take away one item, it doesn't include the items cultivated in the Profound Sky Pavilion …"
"Hmm? What you mean is … "
The cold old man's closed eyes suddenly opened. He stared at the former with a look of surprise and said in a deep voice,
"In the past hundred years, only three people have managed to do this."
"The previous person seems to be the ancestor of this little fellow. I remember that not only did he successfully learn the Wind God's Fury in the Hidden Sky Pavilion, he even took away a scroll. Perhaps, this little fellow might be able to complete the pioneering work of his ancestor."
The moment the laughing old man's words were spoken, the latter immediately became silent. His eyes were a little sluggish, as though he was recalling the situation that the former had described. The fellow who was called a cripple by the clan members had left an extremely deep impression in their hearts …
As the old man's words faded, the pavilion also returned to silence.
At the same time, Xiao Yan was also frowning as he stepped down from the first floor.
His slightly sluggish footsteps stepped on the thick floor. Xiao Yan's brows were tightly knitted, and there was a hint of bitterness in his expression. Although the result was clear, he was still somewhat unwilling in his heart. Although he did come to the Profound Sky Pavilion for the Fire God's Fury, he also hoped to find a way to help Xiao Xuan break through the bottleneck here. However, he did not expect the result to be like this.
"Sigh …"
Letting out a helpless sigh, Xiao Yan raised his head to look at the door that was getting closer and closer. The emotions in his heart grew more and more nervous. Once he opened these two doors, it would be very difficult for him to enter this place again. After all, even with the protection of the First Elder, he could not repeatedly refute the wishes of the three cabinet leaders.
He could only hope that a miracle would happen before he raised his hand to open these two doors …
The tightly shut door of the pavilion was just inches away. Xiao Yan's emotions were also tensed to the extreme. Even his breathing had slightly paused at this moment. Some cold sweat involuntarily appeared on his originally calm face.
"Four steps … three steps … two steps …"
Involuntarily counting the steps to the door in his heart, the skin at the corner of Xiao Yan's eyes could not help but twitch. When he reached the last step, Xiao Yan finally slowly exhaled. He raised his slightly trembling hands and placed them on the round and shiny door handle.
With his hand tightly holding the door handle, Xiao Yan's emotions calmed down for a moment. Then, he suddenly gritted his teeth and was about to open the door and leave. It was also at this moment that an old voice that caused his movements to instantly stiffen came from the empty hall behind him.
"Kid, if you really want to take away the other things, it is not impossible …"
The old voice was like sweet rain that poured into the bottom of Xiao Yan's heart, which was on the verge of collapsing. The next moment, when Xiao Yan turned around, a piercing pain was instantly transmitted from his left eye. Only then did he suddenly realize that cold sweat had unknowingly covered his face. Even the clothes he was wearing were drenched by cold sweat.
"Senior, please enlighten me!"
After regaining his senses, Xiao Yan hurriedly bowed towards the depths of the hall. The emotions in his heart also quickly stabilized.
He was not a fool. Hearing the meaning in the old man's words, it was obvious that there was something else. Since they were able to make a concession, they would definitely have other requests.
"Heh, that's easy. As long as you can cultivate the Fury of the Fire God or the other thing you are looking for to great success within the limited time, you can take one of them and leave the Profound Sky Pavilion. Otherwise, you won't be able to take anything away."
"The time limit is three days. If you succeed in cultivating it within three days, you can choose any item within the Profound Sky Pavilion. If you fail, we will forcefully expel you."
The former's voice had just sounded when a cold and indifferent old voice quickly sounded. The meaning in his words caused the emotions in Xiao Yan's heart to tighten. Immediately, he felt a pressure assault him.
Three days. If it was merely to cultivate an Yi class Dou Technique into shape, it was very easy. However, if one wanted to grasp its essence and reach great success, this was something that was basically impossible to accomplish.
The formation and maturity of everything in this world required a process. Based on the simplicity of things, the length of time required for the process would naturally be greatly different. Although there were impressions left behind by predecessors within a high class Dou Technique, allowing one to achieve twice the results with half the effort, comprehending its essence was not something that could be done in a short period of time. Moreover, it was an Yi class Dou Technique.
If this action was successful, the benefits would naturally be quite great. However, if it failed, not only would he not be able to find a way to help Xiao Xuan break through the bottleneck, he would also lose an extremely powerful trump card, the Fury of the Fire God. It was indeed difficult to weigh the pros and cons within!
