Passing through the path surrounded by countless giant trees hundreds of meters tall, Qiangu Yunche followed Zhang Lexuan step by step upwards. Everything around seemed so calm, comfortable, extremely beautiful and elegant.
Not long after, they had followed the path to a location near the top of the mountain, and a pavilion appeared in their sight.
Zhang Lexuan smiled slightly, then turned his head and said:
"Yun Che, as an outsider, you are the first person to be personally invited to the Sea God Pavilion as a guest in the past hundred years."
Qiangu Yunche glanced at the unremarkable brown three-story building in the distance and chuckled:
"I didn't expect that Sea God Pavilion would look so simple and vicissitudes of life. It's actually different from what I imagined."
Zhang Lexuan smiled mysteriously when he heard this, "This is not what Sea God Pavilion really looks like. When you get closer, you can feel the real strangeness here."
The two continued to move forward, and when they came to the Sea God Pavilion, Zhang Lexuan suddenly stopped and then said:
"Mu En, I brought Yun Che."
"Come in, everyone." An old but kind voice sounded, and then, the three-story building that was completely inconspicuous just a moment ago suddenly lit up without warning.
Brilliant golden light bloomed instantly, turning the entire small building completely golden, like a pavilion built of pure gold.
Rich and soft golden light floated down, and the warm and heavy light breath nourished Qiangu Yunche's body, making him more determined about what he was thinking.
Such pure and majestic light life force may not be as pure as Life Gold, but it is still urgently needed for him.
"Boom--"
A slight roar sounded, Zhang Lexuan's eyes widened slightly, and he said in surprise, "You made a breakthrough?"
Although Qiangu Yunche was well hidden, Zhang Lexuan still felt the flash of tyrannical aura.
"I was lucky enough to break through to level sixty-six."
Qiangu Yunche said calmly, but Zhang Lexuan couldn't be calm at all.
"You are such a monster. Compared with you, I always feel like I have trained like a dog."
After sighing, Zhang Lexuan took Qiangu Yunche and walked towards the Sea God Pavilion.
The furnishings inside the Sea God Pavilion are very simple, and there is no way to tell that this place is actually the leading force of Soul Master World, which has gathered the highest-level Soul Master combat power of the original Douluo Continent. However, Spiritual Power is stronger than Qiangu Yunche, so there are still some clues.
Under this simple shell, the real inside of the Sea God Pavilion seems to have not been revealed.
Walking straight inside, the two of them entered a wide hall.
There is a long table in the hall, but at this moment almost all the seats beside the long table are empty. Only the person sitting on the main seat hidden in the shadow can be vaguely seen.
"Seen Mu En."
Before Zhang Lexuan could introduce him, Qiangu Yunche already took the initiative to salute.
Hearing this, the old man sitting in the front seat was also a little surprised. After a moment, a gentle and kind voice came:
"Little guy, do you know me?"
Qiangu Yunche smiled slightly and then said:
"Mu En, although more than a hundred years have passed since you were the most powerful person on the continent, there will always be people on this continent who remember you. I once heard my great-grandfather say that if he had been born in the same era as you, he might be twice as energetic as he was when he was young."
Mu En chuckled when he heard this, and then said something that shocked both Qiangu Yunche and Zhang Lexuan:
"The situation of your great-grandfather is very similar to that of Xuanzi. Soul Power has accumulated enough, but what is lacking is opportunity and understanding, so every time it is just a slight difference. However, your great-grandfather is far luckier than Xuanzi. He has great opportunities, and it is a sure thing to step into my realm."
Sensing the change in Qiangu Yunche's expression, Mu En burst into laughter, and his voice became softer:
"Don't be nervous. It was just a coincidence that I broke into your family's residence. At that time, I had just crossed over Mingdou Mountain Range and entered the territory of the Star Luo Empire. I vaguely noticed a mysterious aura, so I followed the sense and went all the way to find it. As a result, I happened to meet your great-grandfather who was condensing Second Soul Core."
"I talked with him about some experiences of people who have been there, and also had an in-depth conversation with him about the current situation on the mainland and the changes that may occur in the future."
"We had a great conversation, and after talking about the important things, what else can two old men over two hundred years old talk about? They are undoubtedly their descendants."
As he spoke, the wooden chair creaked, and then, an old figure with a stooped waist reaching almost ninety degrees slowly walked out of the darkness.
"Mu En!" Zhang Lexuan exclaimed and quickly stepped forward to hold Mu En's arm.
Qiangu Yunche stepped forward for a moment. Mu En smiled slightly when he saw this, and then waved to him.
Zhang Lexuan and Qiangu Yunche supported Mu En from left to right and walked deeper until they came to a wall. Mu En raised his hand and pointed slightly, and a golden light lit up, and everything around him suddenly became illusory.
The rich golden halo instantly enveloped the three of them. The next moment, Qiangu Yunche felt that his feet were empty. After the rich golden light dissipated, the original Sea God Pavilion had disappeared, and was replaced by an extremely wide and bright hall.
There are several corridors on both sides of the hall that lead to unknown places. There are no windows here, but the air is very fresh. And just inside the hall, ten statues that are almost identical to the outside world stand there.
The only difference is that these ten statues are all made of wood and look more lifelike.
Zhang Lexuan and Qiangu Yunche supported Mu En and walked towards one of the corridors. During the march, Zhang Lexuan quietly looked at Qiangu Yunche beside him with his eyes, feeling a little complicated for some reason.
In her memory, the last time the person who helped Mu En enter here with her was Beibei who had just broken through the realm of Soul Grandmaster. However, time has passed and the boy who used to chase after her and called Sister Lexuan has a lifelong lover. Only she is still trapped in the past and cannot extricate herself.
While walking, Mu En continued:
"Little guy, I know that your ancestors were enshrined by the two Coiling Dragon Staffs Spirit Hall Empire ten thousand years ago, but your Martial Soul is not Coiling Dragon Staff, but another mutated super gun type Martial Soul. For you, the ordinary environment is of little benefit, so I created a room specially for you."
As he said that, the three of them had stopped in front of a room door.
"Go in, I hope this will make your future path clearer."
Mu En's voice rang in his ears. Qiangu Yunche took a deep breath, looked at Mu En, and said seriously:
"Mu En, thank you very much."
Mu En chuckled and nodded, watching Qiangu Yunche enter the room.
When the door is closed, it's as if the inside and outside are separated into two worlds.
A golden passage suddenly appeared where Mu En and the two appeared, and the one who walked out of it was Yan Shaozhe dressed in white.
Mu En patted Zhang Lexuan's hand gently and said softly:
"Lexuan, you go down first."
Zhang Lexuan glanced at the door, then nodded, but just when she turned around and took two steps, Mu En's voice sounded again:
"Silly girl, I am confused about what happened back then, but I never want this matter to become a shackles for you from the beginning to the end... All the faults are mine, and both you and Beibei are innocent..."
Zhang Lexuan paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said:
"Mu En, some things are obsessions that are engraved in my bones... I, I don't know what to do anymore, please let me think about it again."
With that said, Zhang Lexuan's figure disappeared into the golden light.
Mu En let out a long sigh, his cloudy eyes filled with complex and majestic emotions...
