58: The Three Ancient Secrets! The Supreme Secret Treasure!

"You've arrived."

The Grand Elder's voice was extremely ancient, his tone hard and rough, like a rusted sword.

"Is the Grand Elder waiting for us?"

Grand Elder Xuan Qing asked curiously.

The Grand Elder nodded, not responding to his unimportant question.

The light in his eyes gradually receded, and the Grand Elder said, "First, tell me the purpose of your visit."

Grand Elder Xuan Qing pondered for a moment, then said, "During the Eight Sects' expedition to the Burial Immortal Valley, a special Disciple appeared in the Profound Heaven Dao Sect. He received the recognition of a divine sword and brought out the only Divine Artifact from the Burial Immortal Valley."

"I assume the Grand Elder is already aware of this matter."

The Grand Elder nodded.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing continued, "After returning to the Sect, this Disciple revealed some special circumstances to us. After his Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage, his original five-colored Impurities Spiritual Root transformed into a top-tier Innate first-grade Water Spiritual Root. Moreover, his talent strengthened into a sharp Qi that could cut through mountains, a rarity in the world."

Even now, Grand Elder Xuan Qing could not hide his astonishment when speaking of it.

After calming down for a moment, he added, "Besides this extraordinarily powerful talent, there are two other noteworthy points about him. One is that after his Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage, this Disciple cannot Cultivate through ordinary means. He can only complete his Cultivation through Dual Cultivation, and his Cultivation progress is extremely fast."

"Dual Cultivation???"

The Saintess beside him immediately had her eyes light up.

"Cough cough..."

The Grand Elder cleared his throat, and the Saintess immediately returned to her obedient demeanor, but her eyes clearly showed she was deep in thought.

"You may continue."

"Yes!"

Grand Elder Xuan Qing continued, "The other point is that this Disciple claims he can absorb Spiritual Qi from the Upper Realm."

"The situation with this Disciple is too unique. We suspect he might be the Reincarnation of some ancient Great Power, so we specifically came to ask the Grand Elder how to handle him."

The Grand Elder frowned slightly.

He was clearly somewhat surprised by some of the information they provided.

But he believed everything had a reason.

Since he chose to do this, it meant he needed to use this method to achieve some goal he needed to accomplish.

It was probably related to the two empresses.

His brows relaxed, and the Grand Elder calmly said:

"I am aware of everything you have said."

"This person's identity is extremely special. Since your Profound Heaven Dao Sect is fortunate enough to welcome his arrival, you must not treat him lightly."

Upon hearing the Grand Elder's words, the Three Grand Elders, Xuan Qing, Xuan Yan, and Xuan Jian, immediately knew that the Grand Elder was aware of this person's identity.

From the Grand Elder's words, it was clear that the possibility of Su Yang being the Reincarnation of a Demonic Path Great Power had been ruled out.

This was a relief.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing asked, "Grand Elder, who exactly is this Disciple?"

The Grand Elder replied indifferently, "You are not yet qualified to know his identity. When it is necessary for you to know, I will naturally inform you."

Grand Elder Xuan Qing knew that the Grand Elder did not intend to tell them Su Yang's identity, so he could only ask, "Then what should we do now? Currently, the three of us have already accepted him as a Disciple. Should we continue to teach him, or send him to the Wangxian Hall?"

The Grand Elder said, "The three of you, with your level, cannot teach him."

The Three Grand Elders, Xuan Qing, Xuan Yan, and Xuan Jian: ???

We are at the Body Integration Stage, and we can't teach a Disciple at the Foundation Establishment Stage!?!

The Grand Elder paid no mind to the strange expressions on their faces. With a gentle wave of his right hand, three ancient books radiating dazzling golden light appeared before the Three Grand Elders, Xuan Qing, Xuan Yan, and Xuan Jian.

"Grand Elder, this is...?"

The three were puzzled.

"These are three ancient secret manuals from the beginning of the first era."

"One is the Dao Yan Immortal Art, a supreme true essence secret method."

"One is the Ancient Desolate Sword Art, a supreme sword Dao secret method."

"One is the Dao Transformation Elixir Art, a supreme Alchemy secret method."

"Today, I entrust these three supreme ancient secret manuals to you. You shall use these to teach him."

The golden light receded, and the three secret manuals revealed the ancient script upon them.

The younger generation might no longer be able to decipher these characters from the first era, but the Three Grand Elders, Xuan Qing, Xuan Yan, and Xuan Jian, with their tens of thousands of years of experience, naturally understood the script.

Holding them with both hands.

The Three Grand Elders, Xuan Qing, Xuan Yan, and Xuan Jian, were all shaken to their core.

Just holding these three secret manuals, they felt an ancient and vast power within them. If these three secret manuals had not restrained themselves, their Body Integration Stage Realm would have been unable to hold them.

"Each of you three has your strengths. You can also Cultivate these three secret manuals yourselves. Whatever you comprehend will be yours, and it will not be in vain for you to be his Masters."

The Grand Elder's words filled the Three Grand Elders with immense joy.

They quickly bowed in gratitude.

"Thank you, Grand Elder, for your benevolence."

Just by holding these three secret manuals, they knew they were extraordinary. If they could Cultivate the Cultivation Technique within, it would surely greatly enhance their strength.

The Grand Elder said, "Do not misunderstand. These are not Cultivation Techniques bestowed upon you. They are merely delivered to him through your hands. If you do not understand, you can also ask him for guidance."

Grand Elder Xuan Yan couldn't help but ask, "Grand Elder, is it us teaching him, or him teaching us?"

The Grand Elder now showed a faint smile and was about to speak when the Saintess impatiently said, "How much do you think you can understand? Of course, he will teach you. You still want to teach him? Dream on!"

The Three Grand Elders, Xuan Qing, Xuan Yan, and Xuan Jian: ...That's too hurtful.

They were Cultivators at the Body Integration Stage, and their comprehension ability was not even as good as a Disciple at the Foundation Establishment Stage!?

"Luoluo, you mustn't speak to the Three Grand Elders like that."

The Grand Elder glanced at the Saintess.

"No matter, no matter!"

Grand Elder Xuan Qing quickly smoothed things over.

The Grand Elder said, "Take these three secret manuals back. From now on, teach him according to their content. If there's anything you don't understand, you can study it with him. How much he comprehends is his ability, and how much you comprehend is your own ability."

"Yes!"

"And..."

"Grand Elder, please speak."

"Let me reiterate, this person is no ordinary individual. You must not treat him lightly! When his identity is revealed in the future, the three of you, as his Masters, will possess supreme glory."

"We will remember the Grand Elder's teachings."

The Three Grand Elders, Xuan Qing, Xuan Yan, and Xuan Jian, bowed and withdrew.

As soon as they left, the Saintess immediately ran up to the Grand Elder, smiling as she pulled at him and pouted, "Grandpa Jian, can I go to the Profound Heaven Dao Sect with them? I want to find him! Please let me go, I really want to find him."

"No!"

The Grand Elder's expression was gentle, but his tone was unyielding, "Since he has returned, I should also prepare to return to his body. The Wangxian Hall cannot be without a Master for a single day. As the Saintess of the Wangxian Hall, you must stay and guard it to prevent any unforeseen circumstances."

"Ah???"

"Grandpa Jian, you want me to guard the Wangxian Hall all by myself? It's so boring~~~"

The Saintess sighed with a long face.

"Luoluo, no fooling around! The big picture is more important!"

The Grand Elder stood up, and the thick metal floor separated layer by layer, extending downwards into an endless passage.

The Grand Elder walked down step by step.

The Saintess pouted and followed him down.

The passage extended deep underground. As they descended, the surrounding temperature continuously rose, and the air began to twist and churn in the high heat.

At the end of the passage was a scorching underground lava cave.

Orange-red molten metal churned in the lava pool, and the surrounding walls continuously melted and solidified under the intense heat, a cycle that never ended.

"So hot~"

The Saintess fanned her sweating face with her hand.

She clearly disliked the environment here.

"Grandpa Jian, are you really planning to start tempering now?"

"Since he has returned, I naturally need to prepare early!"

The Grand Elder removed his cloak. The rolling heat waves blew the cloak into the air, and the extremely high temperature instantly turned the cloak to ashes. Fine dust never extinguished in the scorching air.

The Grand Elder walked towards the lava pool.

As his feet stepped into the lava pool, the churning molten metal immediately swallowed his legs. The terrifying high temperature almost instantly burned his legs red, and the temperature rapidly moved upwards. Soon, the Grand Elder's body became like a red-hot iron man.

His body surface was like red-hot rusted iron, with layers of Impurities falling off.

"The next time I appear, I will return to his side in my strongest form."

"Luoluo, I'm entrusting the Wangxian Hall to you for this period!"

The Grand Elder said, gradually sinking into the churning lava pool.

"Grandpa Jian?"

"Grandpa Jian???"

The Saintess called out twice towards the lava pool.

Not hearing the Grand Elder's response, her eyes cunningly darted around, and with a sweet smile, she was about to sneak away.

"Luoluo!"

"Stay in the Wangxian Hall and don't go anywhere!"

A stern voice came from the lava pool.

The Saintess immediately deflated like a punctured ball, pouting and grumbling, "Alright, alright, if I can't go, I won't. I'll just wait here, that should be fine, right!"

"
