Chapter 26: Divine Crow Peak (Part 2)

While Nan Huairen was introducing Divine Crow Peak, Li Qiyi couldn't help but smile when he heard this story. The so-called Divine Crow Peak was merely named by a few divine generals under the Immortal Emperor Mingren to commemorate this dark crow.

The triangular ancient courtyard at the top of Divine Crow Peak was not large, but the entire courtyard was pitch black, as if it were cast from black iron, incredibly heavy. In fact, the disciples of the Xianyan Ancient Sect through the generations did not know what divine material this ancient courtyard was built from.

When Li Qiyi and Nan Huairen stood before the triangular ancient courtyard, Li Qiyi looked at the pitch-black triangular ancient courtyard and felt quite moved. Countless years had passed, yet this ancient courtyard still stood firm. Of course, the mystery of this ancient courtyard far exceeded the imagination of the world. People could hardly imagine the origin of this triangular ancient courtyard!

Just as Li Qiyi was moved, his gaze was drawn to the huge shrine in front of the triangular ancient courtyard. In his memory, there was no such shrine when the triangular ancient courtyard was built.

Li Qiyi's gaze fell on the person sitting inside the shrine. A man of immense stature was seated there. At this moment, it was impossible to discern his age. His hair and beard were extremely long and messy, completely covering his face. This man had been sitting in the shrine for who knows how many years, as wild grass had even grown on his body.

The man had his eyes closed, and if it weren't for his steady breathing, others might have thought he was dead!

This was not the most surprising thing; what was surprising was that his hands and feet were bound by thick iron chains! Others might not recognize them, but Li Qiyi did. He knew that these thick iron chains were made of black spider cold iron, an extremely rare and precious divine iron!

What kind of person deserved to be locked here with black spider cold iron, and more surprisingly, the man seemed to be willing to be locked here, not forced!

Seeing Li Qiyi's attention on the man in the shrine, Nan Huairen whispered to him, "This is the guardian of the triangular ancient courtyard. No one knows his exact origin."

"Why is he locked here?" Li Qiyi asked, looking at the man sitting in the shrine with his eyes closed.

Nan Huairen shook his head and said, "No one knows. I doubt anyone in our Xianyan Ancient Sect knows. It's said he has been locked here for a very long time, even my master doesn't know how long. Some say he is a disciple of the sect, a sinner who committed a heinous crime, and that's why he has been locked here."

Li Qiyi nodded lightly and said nothing, then entered the triangular ancient courtyard with Nan Huairen.

After Li Qiyi and Nan Huairen entered the triangular ancient courtyard, the man in the shrine suddenly opened his eyes. In an instant, his gaze was terrifying, as if it could pierce through the ages and split the chaos. A single glance from him would make even a real king tremble. However, after opening his eyes, he quickly closed them again, as if nothing had happened.

The triangular ancient courtyard looked small from the outside, but once inside, it revealed a different world. Inside, the triangular ancient courtyard was vast, covering ten thousand acres. Three magnificent ancient towers were combined to form the triangular ancient courtyard.

Undoubtedly, the triangular ancient courtyard, which covered ten thousand acres, looked like a small courtyard from the outside because it was refined by supreme divine power!

Stepping into the triangular ancient courtyard, Nan Huairen introduced to Li Qiyi, "This is the Scripture Pavilion, that is the Armory, and the last one is the Treasure Pavilion." The three ancient towers of the triangular ancient courtyard housed the secret manuals, treasures, and divine materials of the Xianyan Ancient Sect.

Nan Huairen said, "Each ancient tower is personally overseen by a guardian. No matter which disciple borrows secret manuals, treasures, or divine materials, they must be personally inspected by the guardian." He then asked Li Qiyi, "Senior Brother, what would you like to choose first?"

"Let's go to the Scripture Pavilion first," Li Qiyi said casually after a brief glance at the three ancient towers.

Nan Huairen and Li Qiyi entered the Scripture Pavilion. Eight powerful disciples of the Xianyan Ancient Sect were stationed there, and a guardian was personally in charge. Only after Li Qiyi and Nan Huairen presented the elder's order did the guardian allow them to enter.

As soon as they entered the Scripture Pavilion, it felt like they had entered a vast library. The entire Scripture Pavilion was incredibly spacious, with no end in sight. Just by looking at the size of the Scripture Pavilion, one could imagine the glorious past of the Xianyan Ancient Sect!

When Li Qiyi and Nan Huairen entered the Scripture Pavilion, they found that they were not the only ones. Many disciples were already there, selecting the secret manuals and techniques they could access.

Nan Huairen, being good at socializing and well-liked by his peers, greeted each of his fellow disciples.

Li Qiyi, on the other hand, was not so fortunate. In fact, Li Qiyi had not been in the sect for long, and he was not well-liked by the disciples of the Xianyan Ancient Sect. Although the Xianyan Ancient Sect had declined, it was still an imperial lineage sect. For a mortal to join the Xianyan Ancient Sect was already a remarkable achievement.

What was even more infuriating was that a mortal with an ordinary body, ordinary destiny, and ordinary life had become the chief disciple. The position of chief disciple was highly prestigious, being the eldest among all third-generation disciples. In the Xianyan Ancient Sect, many talented and accomplished third-generation disciples had longed to become the chief disciple but never received the master's approval.

Now, a mere mortal had come with an ancient order and become the chief disciple of the Xianyan Ancient Sect. How could this not anger many disciples?

"Is this Li Qiyi?" A disciple looked Li Qiyi up and down, as if he were a monster. In fact, many people in the Xianyan Ancient Sect had tried to obtain the ancient order, but no one had succeeded. Suddenly, the old lecher, Third Ghost, gave the precious ancient order to Li Qiyi, which was truly bizarre.

"That's him. I heard he treated Third Ghost to ten days and nights at the Green Jade Tower," a disciple said disdainfully.

Another disciple, looking well-informed, shook his head and said, "You're wrong. It wasn't just ten days and nights. I heard he arranged for a pair of twin sisters at the Green Jade Tower for Third Ghost. These sisters were new courtesans. He paid for them for three years, and that's why the old lecher was willing to give him the ancient order."

The story became more exaggerated as it spread. Some said Li Qiyi treated Third Ghost to prostitution at the Green Jade Tower, and the story grew more and more outrageous. Some said Li Qiyi arranged for a pair of twin sisters, while others claimed he paid for the entire Green Jade Tower for ten years, allowing Third Ghost to enjoy himself. In short, there were all kinds of rumors, but they all agreed that Li Qiyi had used despicable means to make Third Ghost willingly give him the ancient order!
