Upon seeing Hua Jin arrive, Qin Xin stepped forward and respectfully greeted her, "Aunt Hua."
Hua Jin smiled and nodded, then slowly stepped forward. Standing before the stone pillar with her plump figure, she gazed at the black patterns on the pillar, her eyes filled with melancholy and helplessness.
Hua Jin said very calmly, "You probably already know that these mysterious patterns can help martial artists condense martial spirit patterns."
Qin Xin didn't hide anything and nodded directly.
Upon hearing that they could condense martial spirit patterns, a hint of greed immediately appeared in the eyes of Shi Shan and San Jie.
For martial artists, martial spirit is the foundation of cultivation. If they have the blessing of martial spirit patterns, it is like adding wings to a tiger, bringing them many benefits.
If the disciples of the inner academy knew that the main peak of the Kunmen sect could help martial artists condense martial spirit patterns, then the people from the other seven academies would probably raze this place to the ground.
"However!" Before the joy on their faces could fully show, Hua Jin's voice suddenly became somewhat low, "Although it can help martial artists condense martial spirit patterns, it also carries a curse!"
"curse?"
Upon hearing this word, Qin Xin was momentarily stunned.
Although he felt that the mysterious black patterns were somewhat strange, he did not sense the so-called curse at all.
Hua Jin noticed their confusion, shook her head, and then began to explain in a low voice.
"Back when my master was still alive, the Kun Sect had not yet dispersed and was the strongest among the eight sects of the inner courtyard. My master was the former sect leader of the Kun Sect."
"One day, the heavens and earth suddenly changed direction, and a strange black light fell on the main peak of Kunmen. Since then, this mysterious black pattern has appeared here."
"After the First Elder and the Eighth Elder arrived here, they discovered that although these mysterious black patterns were strange, they could help martial artists condense martial spirit patterns."
"Because the matter was of great importance, news about the mysterious black pattern was immediately blocked. Later, with the help of the mysterious black pattern, the teacher's cultivation level became stronger, but his personality and temperament became increasingly strange."
"Yunlei and I were both disciples of our teacher. Yunlei joined the sect earlier, while I had only recently joined the Kun Sect, so I would respectfully call him Senior Brother."
"Yunlei often stayed by his teacher's side, and the teacher treated him like his own son. But one day, Yunlei suddenly escaped from the summit of the main peak."
"My disciples and I sensed something was wrong, so we ran to the summit to investigate."
"But at this moment, the teacher was completely enveloped by these mysterious black patterns, and his aura began to become increasingly violent."
"With the last shred of my sanity, I told you that there was a curse on this main peak, and then I drove us all out."
"And the teacher used all his life force as the power to drive the sealing array, suppressing the mysterious black patterns underground."
"Afterwards, the First Elder and the Eighth Elder concealed the reason for the teacher's death. However, they never expected that the Kun Sect's main peak would eventually be restarted in your hands. As for this mysterious black pattern, it is hard to say whether it is a blessing or a curse."
As Hua Jin spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
Qin Xin was surprised to learn that Yun Lei and Hua Jin were actually fellow disciples, yet now the two were at odds. As for the reason for their change, Qin Xin didn't press them for details.
Looking at the mysterious black patterns on the stone pillar, Qin Xin felt a chill in his heart. He also recalled how the Eighth Elder had treated him specially after he opened the main peak of the Kun Sect.
As for why the Kunmen main peak had been open for so long, the Eighth Elder and the First Elder kept it a secret, which puzzled Qin Xin greatly.
If these mysterious patterns are a curse, then simply prohibiting the reopening of the Kunmen main peak would suffice. Why then does the Kunmen keep attempting to reopen it? Is it merely because the Eighth Elder hopes the Kunmen will return to its former glory? Clearly, this reason is untenable. As for the Eighth Elder's true intentions, Qin Xin has absolutely no idea.
Of course, Qin Xin was able to restart the main peak largely due to the Fire God Crystal, and Qin Xin didn't know if there was any connection between the Fire God Crystal and the mysterious black patterns.
Just as Qin Xin was having some thoughts, the Eighth Elder slowly appeared on the main peak. His gaze was fixed on the revealed patterns, and after looking at Hua Jin with his aged face, he said, "Your master's death back then was only partially related to these mysterious black patterns. The curse was probably just his guess before he died."
After the Eighth Elder appeared, his words became somewhat confusing, and Qin Xin didn't know who was telling the truth.
“Our teacher would never lie to us.” Hua Jin looked at the Eighth Elder and shook her head, clearly not believing what he said.
"Whether you believe it or not, now that this thing has reappeared, it will likely cause a lot of trouble," the Eighth Elder said with some worry.
He could naturally sense the current situation within the Kun Sect, but as an elder of the inner courtyard, he was also subject to many limitations. Even knowing that the Kun Sect was going to be reorganized and that the main peak would be divided up, he was powerless to do anything about it.
After all, there is no rule in the inner courtyard that forbids the peaks from annexing each other.
Moreover, if Yun Lei is elected as the sect leader of Kunmen, it will mean that his status will be on par with the Eighth Elder, and he will control everything in Kunmen.
The Eighth Elder stood still, took a step, and then leaped into the air, gently patting the ground with his palm.
The mysterious black patterns that were originally exposed were forced back in as if squeezed by something.
The stone pillars with black veins also became very clean in an instant.
"Now that I have sealed this thing again, I hope you will slow down this matter so that I can discuss it with the Grand Elder first."
After saying that, the Eighth Elder didn't stop for a moment and immediately ran towards the direction of the gate.
The four people who remained in place looked at each other in bewilderment. They all knew that this secret might bring a lot of security risks, so they had been holding back.
"Qin Xin, it seems that my Fan Hua Ge (Fan Hua Pavilion) may have to move entirely to the main peak of Kunmen."
Upon hearing Hua Jin's meaning, Qin Xin's eyes showed some contemplation. However, he also knew that Lei Ge was now very powerful, and with Yun Lei's breakthrough, Lei Ge no longer took Fan Hua Ge seriously. However, their survival on Dongfeng was becoming increasingly difficult.
