"What secret?"
Qinchuan furrowed his brows. What sort of secret could cause Wu Yong to be so moved, and even go missing?
The Supre Elder shook his head, "As for the specific secret, I do not know the details, but the divine edict left by the Ancestor before he departed might contain information regarding this secret."
Qinchuan nodded, "Where is the divine edict?"
"It was left by the Ancestor at the top floor of the Heavenly Tao Treasure Pavilion, inaccessible to anyone."
The Supre Elder said.
"The top floor of the Heavenly Tao Treasure Pavilion, no one but the Ancestor has ever been able to enter. No matter who you are, what status you hold, it's impossible for you to enter the Heavenly Tao Treasure Pavilion."
Listening to the conversation between Qinchuan and the Supre Elder, an Elder stroked his goatee and indifferently said.
"Of course you can't go in."
Upon hearing this, Qinchuan glanced at the Elders and Wu Tian, and said matter-of-factly,
"Of course, I can go in."
Qinchuan replied coolly, glancing at them casually, with no intention to argue further.
If he couldn't enter the Heavenly Tao Treasure Pavilion, that would be strange indeed.
This Heavenly Tao Treasure Pavilion was a treasury he had left behind in the Congyun Sect in years past.
It was a congratulatory gift Qinchuan bestowed upon the establishnt of the sect by Wu Yong, serving as the foundation for the early stages of the Congyun Sect.
Within the Heavenly Tao Treasure Pavilion lay nurous treasures, large and small, that Qinchuan had collected during his travels across the world.
The Heavenly Tao Treasure Pavilion itself had also been refined by Qinchuan. Aside from being a treasury, it was in fact a powerful Magical Treasure.
Its top floor was protected by many powerful prohibitions, which, unless one was familiar with their profound mysteries, even a Great Emperor of this Mortal World might not easily decipher.
However, Wu Tian and the other Elders were unaware of these matters.
They scoffed at Qinchuan's words, "Such a young age, yet not lacking in boastfulness. The Supre Elders and Sect Leaders of the Congyun Sect throughout the generations have not been able to enter, and you, a re young upstart, have the audacity to claim you can access the top floor of the Heavenly Tao Treasure Pavilion?"
The crowd laughed, not taking him seriously at all.
"How dare you!"
"You dare to be so disrespectful to the master!"
The Supre Elder's expression turned sharp upon hearing this, his piercing gaze imdiately fell upon the mocking Elder, his heart full of shock and anger, as a trendous pressure burst forth, bearing down on that Elder.
He longed to reveal Qinchuan's identity, but without Qinchuan's permission, he dared not act rashly, fearing that he might offend Qinchuan.
The Elder, under the Supre Elder's pressure, imdiately changed his expression, feeling the frosty gaze of the Supre Elder, as if plunging into an ice cellar, chilled to the bone, his heart pounding with fear.
At the sa ti, he felt aggrieved and indignant, exclaiming in shock and anger, "Supre Elder, you are a Supre Elder of our Congyun Sect. This man is but an outsider, a re junior. Have you lost your mind, calling him 'master' and oppressing us for his sake? Do you not fear you'll chill people's hearts?"
"Insolence!"
"Boom!"
The Supre Elder was utterly furious, flipped his hand and struck at the Elder, intending to suppress him and force an apology.
"Supre Elder!"
"No!"
"Please, Supre Elder, show rcy. Elder Qian did not an any harm…"
Upon witnessing this scene, Wu Tian and the other Elders were all suddenly struck with alarm, not expecting the Supre Elder to truly be enraged and to strike against an Elder of their own Congyun Sect.
However, their pleas were of no avail.
The Supre Elder's cultivation level was unfathomably deep; if he truly wished to suppress soone, no one could stop him.
```
The elder was also scared witless, having never expected the Supre Elder to actually strike him.
He watched the terrifying mana hand press down upon him, and just the aura alone was unbearable, causing his body to tremble violently and nearly unable to hold up.
It was evident just how fearso the authority of the Supre Elder was.
His heart filled with terror and an imnse chill, he steeled himself and said, "If the Supre Elder wishes to kill , then just do it!"
"Don't!"
Wu Tian and the other elders cried out in alarm, rushing forward to stop him.
But the Supre Elder's gaze was icy, and he did not cease his attack.
"Stop."
At this mont, Qinchuan gave the Supre Elder a faint glance and uttered two words indifferently.
"Boom!"
Only then did the Supre Elder's palm imprint suddenly halt in the void, suspended three feet above the elder's head. The wind from the palm swirled and poured down, causing the ground beneath the elder to crack.
That elder's face turned deathly pale as he gasped for air, staring at the palm imprint hanging three feet above his head, his entire body drenched in cold sweat.
Qinchuan glanced at the Supre Elder and noticed that the mont he heard the command to stop, the Supre Elder had also breathed a sigh of relief, evidently not truly wishing to suppress the elder, but rather showing a certain attitude.
"Master, Elder Qian has spoken disrespectfully towards you, punishnt cannot be avoided..."
After halting the palm strike, the Supre Elder still had a stern look, saying. Explore more at empire
Qinchuan looked at him with a half-smile and said, "If I hadn't asked you to stop just now, would you have killed him?"
The Supre Elder's face changed instantly, as he looked at Qinchuan, then bowed his head and after a long silence said, "…No."
Qinchuan nodded, not taking the matter to heart. Elder Qian did not know his identity and thus could not be expected to show him absolute respect.
If he were to take issue with such a trifling matter, it would make him, Asura Emperor, seem rather small-minded.
"Ignorance is fearless, but there is a limit to everything."
Giving the elder a faint look, Qinchuan did not dwell on the matter.
The Supre Elder breathed a sigh of relief and began to treat Qinchuan with even more respect, a trace of sothing else appearing in his eyes. He bowed deeply to Qinchuan and said, "Thank you for your magnanimity and rcy, Master."
"Stand up, and from now on, do not call 'Master' either."
Qinchuan said indifferently.
The title "Master" was a bit too high-profile.
Qinchuan felt that since he did not want too many people to know of his return, to avoid startling the snakes, it was better to stay sowhat low-key.
"In that case, how about if I address you as 'Young Master'?"
The Supre Elder hesitated.
'Young Master' was a term with multiple anings, not necessarily implying a master-servant relationship.
It could indeed be used to address young n of noble status by many people.
Qinchuan nodded, not fussing on the matter, and looked down at Qin Xiaoyu, "Are you tired from walking?"
"With brother by my side, Xiaoyu isn't tired."
Qin Xiaoyu said, her face revealing two cute dimples.
Hearing this, Qinchuan smiled playfully and then glanced at the Supre Elder.
The Supre Elder understood and summoned a cloud of Yun Xia to lift everyone up and fly into the Inner Sect Immortal Realm.
After witnessing that scene, Wu Tian and the present elders also beca subdued and sowhat silent.
They had all begun to feel that the Supre Elder was not insane with power or ntally disturbed.
Yet he treated Qinchuan with such respect, surely there was a secret they didn't know about. Until they understood the nature of this secret, they did not dare to rashly provoke thunder once more.
