The hemp-robed elder
The sword radiance from the hemp-robed elder enveloped the entire tomb, causing everyone to feel as if their bodies were bound and their Spiritual Seas were unable to circulate. Just this pressure alone was enough to make everyone gasp in shock at the elder's terrifying strength.
"This is the person who carved the stone tablet." Chu Xingyun could tell that the elder's aura was no different from the remnant aura on the stone tablet. This meant that the elder was the protector of the Star Celestial Sect, a super expert at the half-step Emperor Realm.
Chu Xingyun felt a burning sensation in his heart as he looked at the old man in sackcloth.
In his previous life, he had touched the threshold of the Emperor Realm and was only one step away from entering the Emperor Realm. The elder in front of him was the same, he had already comprehended the mysteries of the Emperor Realm.
More importantly, the hemp-robed elder was also a sword cultivator.
"Junior has comprehended something and caused the resonance. If I have disturbed senior's rest, please forgive me." Baili Kuangsheng took a step forward and bowed slightly as he replied.
Buzz!
As soon as he finished speaking, a wisp of invisible energy suddenly entered Baili Kuangsheng's body, causing his body to tremble. With a sound, the invisible energy disappeared as if it had never appeared.
"You're not even 20 years old and you're already at the seventh level of the Heavenly Spirit Realm. You've even stepped into the Spirit and Sword as One Realm. No wonder the resonance was so strong and woke me up." The hemp-robed elder had already seen through Baili Kuangsheng. As he spoke, he stroked his white beard and his tone was filled with praise.
"Thank you senior for your praise." The sword-light radiating from the old man seemed to contain the truth of Heaven and Earth, and was filled with a sense of mystery. Baili Kuangsheng felt dizzy just by looking at it. He didn't dare to be careless when facing such an expert.
The elder smiled and his gaze slowly swept across the three of them. When his gaze landed on Chu Xingyun, he suddenly frowned as if he had sensed something.
However, he quickly shifted his gaze and said to Baili Kuangsheng, "You're not from the Star Celestial Sect. Since you've entered the Ancient Star Secret Realm, does it mean that the Star Celestial Sect has already been destroyed?"
Hearing the elder's words, the three of them instantly narrowed their eyes. After a moment of silence, Chu Xingyun replied, "The Star Celestial Sect was already destroyed 7,000 years ago. In fact, in the long history of the Star Celestial Sect, there are no historical records of the Star Celestial Sect."
Hearing this, Su Jingan and Baili Kuangsheng and Su Jingan and Su.
From their point of view, this elder was from the Celestial Sect of the Star Celestial Sect. When he heard such an answer, he would most likely be emotional. However, the elder's expression did not change at all. He only sighed and said, "I never thought that time would pass so quickly. The magnificent Celestial Sect has actually been destroyed for more than 7,000 years."
"After the Celestial Sect was destroyed, the Ancient Star Secret Realm drifted into the void. Due to the turbulence of space, only those below the Yin Yang Realm could enter safely. If I'm not wrong, you should be from different sects. Moreover, besides you, there should be other ancient martial art practitioners in the Ancient Star Secret Realm, right?"
The elder's words made Su Jingan and Baili Kuangsheng's expressions become awkward.
In a sense, they had already violated the dignity of the Star Celestial Sect by entering the Ancient Star Secret Realm. Moreover, they had also wantonly collected Divine Qi and fought for the treasures in the ruins.
Based on this point alone, the elder had the right to take action.
"Don't worry. I mean you no harm. You don't have to be afraid of me." As if he had seen through their thoughts, the elder laughed and said, "The Star Celestial Sect has already been destroyed. No matter how glorious it was in the past, it has now turned to dust. In order to pursue the peak of martial arts, it is natural for you to enter the secret realm and search for treasures."
"Thank you for your understanding, elder." Su Jingan was delighted and immediately bowed slightly to the elder. Baili Kuangsheng also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The elder's temperament was enlightened and he was a reasonable person.
"Although I am only a remnant soul now, I have also worked hard to reach the peak of martial arts. Naturally, I can understand how you feel now." The elder smiled again and said seriously, "Since we are fated to meet, I will give you a chance. As for how much you can get, it will depend on your ability."
As he spoke, the elder's body slowly landed on the ancient coffin. He touched it with his hand and in an instant, a brilliant halo of light appeared in the space behind him. The halo of light was like a door, as if it was connected to a certain space.
Through the brilliant light, the three of them could vaguely see that there seemed to be a flight of stairs there. It was extremely high and they could not see the end of it. Every step was filled with the aura of swords. It was very mysterious.
"There are a total of eighty-one steps on this flight of stairs. Each step is a world, and each step is a comprehension. It contains my lifetime of cultivation experience. You will be able to comprehend it when you ascend the stairs. However, you must not force it, so as to avoid messing up your cultivation intentions," the elder warned.
He suddenly looked at Su Jingan and added, "Although you are not a swordsman, you can learn from each other in cultivation. If you comprehend it seriously, you will be able to gain something as well."
"I understand." Su Jingan bowed again and looked at the halo of light with shining eyes.
Although he did not know the cultivation level of the elder, as one of the best geniuses, he could sense that the elder's bearing and knowledge far surpassed the other cultivators of the relics.
To be able to obtain the lifetime comprehension of such a cultivator, even if it was just a tiny bit, it would be of great help to cultivation!
"Go in," the elder said. The old man said as he twisted his palm slightly. The halo suddenly released a brilliance. The brilliance spread over like flowing water. The mysterious aura shook the hearts of the three even more. Their gazes became even more fervent.
Su Jingan took a deep breath, lifted his foot, and stepped into the halo.
Almost at the same time, Baili Kuangsheng moved as well. After bowing to the elder, he walked towards the halo of light. He stepped into it and disappeared instantly.
Immediately, only Chu Xingyun and the elder were left in the mausoleum.
After Baili Kuangsheng left, the old man in hemp robes glanced at Chu Xingyun. Coincidentally, Chu Xingyun also raised his head and looked at the old man in hemp robes. Their gazes collided in the air, causing the entire space to turn silent.
"Why don't you enter the halo of light?" The elder was the first to speak after a moment of silence.
"If I enter the halo of light, what I see will not be the staircase of memories, but another independent space. In my opinion, there is not much difference between here and there, whether I enter or not." Chu Xingyun replied indifferently. His eyes did not move from beginning to end. He stared directly at the elder, neither servile nor overbearing. He was as calm as an ancient well.
The elder also stared at Chu Xingyun. When he heard what the latter said, a sliver of surprise appeared on his face. Very soon, the surprise disappeared from his face. He arched his back slightly and actually laughed loudly.
