Chapter 866: 866
Under the guidance of Old Man Fu, Han Li and the others tread past the Hundred Possibilities Pavilion’s grand formation and entered the sect . Unlike last time where they descended to a plaza surrounded by mountains for the Sword Trial Assembly, they instead arrived at the large platform built on the side of the mountain .
At the center of this platform was a five story stone pagoda about three hundred meters tall . The mountain behind the pagoda reached up beyond the eye could see and was densely filled with holes . Occasionally, Hundred Possibilities Pavilion disciples would dart in and out of them like bees .
Old Man Fu didn’t lead them to the pagoda . Instead, he brought them to the top of the mountain .
As they flew past the mountain, Senior Martial Brother Cheng gave Han Li an introduction, “The mountain depths is a top grade reservoir of Earth Lung Fire . Not only is it far more efficient for tool refinement, but it is also incredibly beneficial for cultivators with fire-attribute techniques . As a result, many of their high-grade disciples actually construct cave residences deep inside it . ”
Han Li felt his heart stir when he heard this and his face revealed a pensive expression .
In the blink of an eye, they flew over three thousand meters high and eventually arrived at a huge isolated cave . It clearly wasn’t somewhere a low-grade cultivator could travel . Apart from two old men, there were no other cultivators waiting to receive them .
When the three landed at the cave’s entrance, a red-haired dark-skinned old man called out to them, “Brother Cheng! Fellow Daoist Lu! I’ve been waiting for quite a while . I hope you two haven’t taken offense that I haven’t personally gone out to welcome you . And this must be Fellow Daoist Han! He is as young as expected . His future prospects are boundless . ” After a brief look at Han Li, he shouted out with alarm, “Yi! Fellow Daoist Han has already entered mid-Nascent Soul stage?” The shriveled old man with a stern face also revealed an expression of shock .
“This seems to have come as a shock, Brother Feng . ” Senior Martial Brother Cheng chuckled and said, “Junior Martial Brother Han had just entered mid-Nascent Soul stage . In the future, I hope you’ll be able to provide him with some guidance . ”
When the two Hundred Possibilities Pavilion Elders recovered from their shock, they glanced at each other and wryly smiled . Old Man Feng then replied, “Us? Give guidance? Brother Cheng must be joking . ”
Han Li saluted the two and spoke with a polite tone, “There is no need to be so modest . I merely cultivated quickly and my foundation is still unstable . In the future when there is something amiss with my cultivation, I hope you Fellow Daoists will be able to clear up my doubts . ”
When the two Hundred Possibilities Pavilion elders heard his reply, they gained a rather good impression of Han Li . The two invited the Drifting Cloud Sect Elders inside and then the Core Formation-stage guides took their leave .
The other Hundred Possibilities Pavilion elder said, “Originally, Senior Martial Brother Pyre also wished to come to welcome you, but he is making his last preparations for the master recognition ceremony . I hope you three don’t mind . ”
“What is Brother Ding saying? Junior Martial Brother Lu and I have known you three for several hundreds of years . You don’t have to be so considerate . But do you think you could tell us what is this magic treasure that requires such a grand master recognition ceremony?”
Old Man Ding betrayed a slight trace of pride on his expression and he chuckled . “It isn’t an amazing treasure . It is simply something my Martial Brothers and I had spent three months refining, a Yin Yang Pagoda . ”
“A Yin Yang Pagoda? That’s one of your sect’s three signature treasures! I recall that there was no one in your sect that was able to refine it in the past thousand years . ” Senior Martial Brother Cheng’s smile was replaced with an expression of shock .
“That is why we’ve invited you Fellow Daoists to witness the master recognition ceremony . Although the Yin Yang Pagoda is one of our sect’s signature treasures, it can’t amount to much in your eyes . Let alone the Ancient Sword Sect, but I heard that Senior Martial Brother Cheng acquired a few rare treasures himself . ” Old Man Feng chuckled and probingly asked, “As for Fellow Daoist Han’s sudden rise to mid-Nascent Soul stage, I suspect he also found something in Devilfall Valley, right?”
Senior Martial Brother Cheng shook his head with intensity, “Acquired a few treasures? Brother Feng has been listening to the rumors . Although I did acquire two ancient treasures inside Devilfall Valley, their power is only ordinary . They can’t be compared to the Yin Yang Pagoda . As for Junior Martial Brother Han’s affairs, I’m not too sure on that . ”
“I also acquired no powerful ancient treasures, but rather, I have many of my treasures destroyed in the valley . If it weren’t for the opportunity to raise my cultivation a stage, I fear my trip would’ve been in vain . ” Of course, Han Li didn’t mention the Spirit Ether Garden in detail .
“Fellow Daoist Han’s sudden rise in cultivation must be a result of some treasures . I’d be willing to hand over all my treasures if it meant I could increase my cultivation by another stage . ” Old Man Feng bitterly chuckled and spoke with a tone of admiration and self-mockery . Han Li smiled but said nothing else .
