The Illusory God Sect's great hall.
The Golden Peng King sat there.
Xia Qun walked in from outside. Seeing him, he cupped his hands and smiled. "What brings you to our Illusory God Sect today, Golden Peng King?"
"Sect Master Xia!"
The Golden Peng King cupped his hands in return.
Xia Qun was already a Heavenly Being and the deputy Sect Master of the Illusory God Sect, so he was qualified to stand on equal footing with him.
"Why haven't I seen the Illusory God King?"
"The Sect Master is in secluded cultivation. I'm handling the sect's affairs for the time being." Xia Qun sat opposite the Golden Peng King and spoke with a faint smile.
"Does that mean the Illusory God King is about to make a breakthrough?"
The Golden Peng King's expression shifted slightly.
Like him, the Illusory God King was already at the peak of the Heavenly Being Third Layer.
The next step up.
Was the Heavenly Human Fourth Level—the Sainthood realm.
However.
The Myriad Emperors had left measures within Heavenly Pattern Island, making it virtually impossible to comprehend rules and then break through to the Heavenly Human Fourth Level.
From ancient times to the present.
Heavenly Pattern Island had never produced a cultivator above the Heavenly Being Third Layer.
Thus.
For the island's experts, the Heavenly Being Third Layer was the end of the road.
Once they reached that realm, they could simply relax and enjoy their lifespan of several thousand, or even ten thousand years. There was little else left to do.
Unfortunately.
Because fierce beasts frequently attacked Heavenly Pattern Island, few Heavenly Beings actually lived long enough to exhaust their lifespans.
But regardless.
Once they reached the Heavenly Being Third Layer, there was no longer any need for secluded cultivation.
At his words.
