Six Realms Immortal Emperor

"Ah!" Xu Jingtian was completely shocked.

These predecessors, having cultivated to the Core Formation, Nascent Soul, and Deity Transformation stages, must have been extraordinary individuals, yet they all met such an end, leaving only regret. Xu Jingtian couldn't help but feel sorry for them.

"So, did you two really find the Qingyuan Treasure Vault?" Xu Jingtian was becoming increasingly curious about the outcome.

"You could say that," Elder Shoudan said, his expression turning somewhat somber.

Xu Jingtian was startled and asked, "Did something else happen along the way?"

"That's right, the Qingyuan Treasure Vault has been found, but we can't get in! The vault is sealed off by endless restrictions. We don't have the key to open the Qingyuan Treasure Vault. We're guarding a huge treasure vault but can't open it, so we can't get in at all. In the end, it's all for nothing." Elder Shoudan said, his beard trembling violently, seemingly a little excited.

"Sigh, it seems we have no choice but to give up!" Xu Jingtian felt a pang of sympathy for the Three Saints of Separation.

He seemed to be able to connect the situation of the Three Saints of Separation of Souls at that time. It's not a big deal to see hope when you're disappointed, but when joy turns into despair, people can be driven crazy!

The three saints who were separated from their souls must have been in a terrible state of mind at that time.

"Hmph, as the most powerful disciple of the Holy Sect at that time, I certainly won't give up easily!" Elder Shou Dan's body trembled, and he said through gritted teeth.

At the same time, his aura suddenly surged, making Xu Jingtian feel an unprecedentedly strong pressure. His Core Formation stage cultivation was indeed extraordinary; even a simple movement made it difficult for him to breathe.

However, this experience made Xu Jingtian more clear-headed. Standing before him was a great demon, the Three Saints of Soul Separation, the true identity of the Elder Guardian of Pills. He should not be deceived by his words and appearance.

"I understand. Since there is no key, you must have found another way to open the treasure vault!" Xu Jingtian knew perfectly well that every genius disciple had a strong will and would never admit defeat easily.

Elder Shoudan revealed an appreciative expression and said leisurely, "Indeed, the key is merely the most convenient way to open the treasure vault. What I'm competing against the Three Heroes of Brahma is to forcibly break through the restrictions outside the treasure vault!"

"Ah!" Xu Jingtian couldn't help but exclaim.

Although Elder Shou Dan only said a few words, Xu Jingtian knew in his heart that the duel between the two most outstanding disciples of the Immortal and Demonic paths must have been extremely fierce and difficult to decide. He couldn't help but show a longing expression.

The Three Saints of Separation snorted coldly and continued, "Hmph! The Three Heroes of Brahma know very well that the Qingyuan Treasure Vault is rumored to have been left by the Qingyuan Immortal Lord, and the restrictions inside are extremely profound. With his cultivation level, he is powerless to do anything about it! Yet he still tricked me into making a bet! But you know, when a huge treasure vault suddenly appears in front of you, no one can remain sober. Even I was blinded and agreed without hesitation."

"And then what happened?" Xu Jingtian pressed on.

"And then?" The Three Saints of the Departed Souls laughed bitterly, "The restrictions on the Qingyuan Treasure Vault are simply too difficult to break. One restriction leads to another, and they are all interconnected. It is impossible for human beings to break them. Even if the two of us combined spent a hundred years inside, we could only break a small part of it."

"Huh?" Xu Jingtian was completely stunned. He only realized today that restrictions could be this powerful.

"Hmph, do you still remember the bet I made with the Three Heroes of Brahma? Of course he knew how powerful the Qingyuan Treasure Vault's restrictions were, and he also predicted that I couldn't break them. Therefore, the blood oath I swore at that time was immediately fulfilled, and I became his loyal servant. To prevent news of the Qingyuan Treasure Vault from leaking out, that man made me guard the Qingyuan Treasure Vault for the rest of my life, never leaving its side..."

"Ah? I see. Then why did you stay at the Brahma Sect? You should have been guarding the Qingyuan Treasure Vault."

"Heh, who told you that the Qingyuan Treasure Vault can no longer be in the Brahma Sect?" The words of the Three Saints of Separation of Souls completely stunned Xu Jingtian.

"The Qingyuan Treasure Vault is located within the Brahma Sect!" Xu Jingtian suddenly realized. "I understand now. The Three Heroes of Brahma must be disciples of the Brahma Sect. His asking you to do this is also a way of indirectly protecting the Brahma Sect!"

"That's right, the Qingyuan Treasure Vault is located below the Brahma Sect. It's surrounded by mountains with high peaks and steep cliffs. No one would have guessed that the Qingyuan Treasure Vault would be located at the foot of these peaks."

"Right beneath the peaks of the Brahma Sect?" Xu Jingtian pondered for a moment, then clapped his hands in admiration. "Immortal Lord Qingyuan truly has a grand vision. He has hidden a great treasure trove beneath the peaks of the Brahma Sect. Unless someone turns the Brahma Sect upside down, they will definitely not find the treasure trove."

The Three Saints of the Departed Souls nodded in approval at Xu Jingtian and continued, "Yes, the Three Heroes of Brahma are the most outstanding disciples of any immortal sect I have ever encountered. He is now a Supreme Elder of the Brahma Sect. He set this trap to lure me into a snare. Ostensibly, he made me guard the treasure vault, but in reality, he made me watch over the sect for him. To prevent the secret of the Qingyuan Treasure Vault from being revealed, I must go all out in any calamity that threatens to destroy the sect, even at the cost of my life. Therefore, I am essentially trapped in the Brahma Sect forever. As long as the Brahma Sect exists, this secret will remain hidden forever..."

The fact that the Three Heroes of Brahma were actually the Supreme Elders of the Brahma Sect surprised Xu Jingtian. Considering the age of the Three Saints of Separation, the Three Heroes of Brahma must be over a hundred years old.

"With so many peaks in the Brahma Sect, why has Senior always stayed in the Myriad Pills Pavilion? Isn't this place too deserted, with no one to talk to?"

"I chose this place for a reason. Wan Dan Pavilion is an important place in the sect, and very few disciples come and go here, which makes it easier for me to hide my identity. So many years have passed, and the sect leader of Brahma Sect has changed. No one knows my true identity anymore. Even Yue Zhi thinks that I am the Dan Guardian Elder of Brahma Sect."

Xu Jingtian seemed to remember something and suddenly asked, "Senior, Elder Ochi didn't seem to be very friendly to you?"

"Oh, hehe. That was just a misunderstanding from many years ago." The Three Saints of the Separated Souls continued to recall: "The most recent war between immortals and demons took place twenty years ago. Someone spread false information about the Qingyuan Treasure Vault, and both the immortal and demonic sects were plunged into chaos again. As an ally of the immortal sects, the Brahma Sect mobilized almost its entire force, losing countless elites, including the Brahma Sect's alchemy elders. I did not leave because I had to keep my oath."

"After the war between immortals and demons, Ochi became the new elder in alchemy. However, his alchemy skills at the time were really too clumsy, and he often made major mistakes that he shouldn't have made, wasting a lot of good alchemy materials. I saw this and felt sorry for him, so I couldn't help but give him some pointers. Under my guidance, his alchemy skills gradually improved, and he gradually mastered the refining of conventional pills."

"However, as Yuezhi grew up, his attitude became increasingly arrogant, and he even became insatiable, insisting that I pass on all my alchemy experience to him. As one of the Three Saints of the Soul Separation Clan, I am proud and aloof all my life, how could I be manipulated by him? The more he acted like this, the less I agreed. But after all, he is an alchemy elder of the Brahma Sect, and I cannot kill him. Besides, after he leaves, if a new alchemist comes, his skill level will definitely have to be trained from scratch. Later, I became impatient with his pressure and told him that unless he found me a cultivation genius with exceptional talent, I would not pass on all my life's accumulation."

As the three soul-separated saints reminisced and spoke, Xu Jingtian suddenly had a strange feeling. He felt that they were no longer the kind old man they used to be, nor did they appear as old and frail as they seemed. The three soul-separated saints also seemed increasingly mysterious to him.

Can you completely trust the words of an old monster who has lived for over a hundred years? Xu Jingtian got goosebumps all over his body, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
