Seeing Li Sisui remain silent, Leng Rushuang didn't know how to comfort him. Such deceitful and treacherous things were commonplace in the cultivation world, and for a moment she didn't know what to say...
Looking at Li Sisui's indifferent expression, Feng Teng Daoren felt a mix of emotions. In his eyes, Li Sisui was always smiling. No matter who he met or what he encountered, he always appeared calm and unhurried. When would he ever show anger on his face?
The atmosphere became tense, and no one knew what to say. Although their cultivation levels varied, they were all cultivators who had been around for over a hundred years, and they possessed the basic ability to read people's expressions. At this moment, no one dared to speak, for fear of incurring Li Sisui's wrath...
"The ancient books in the library are quite valuable. You should keep these safe and read them as much as possible when you have time. They will be of great benefit to your cultivation!"
Now only Leng Rushuang dares to be the first and can disregard Li Sisui's feelings. After hearing this, the latter nodded silently and put the pile of ancient books at his feet into the Mountain Ring. The incomplete record of the ancient strange methods and incomplete arrays of Buzhou Heaven and Earth was specially stored in a special place for future reference.
After doing all this, Li Sisui deflated like a punctured balloon. Seeing this, no one dared to ask any more questions and could only silently retreat to the side. The joy of the Hidden Moon Sect becoming the number one sect in Saint Hill was also greatly diminished. Although the few remaining disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect were all newly recruited disciples, they were all discerning people!
Clearly, the only powerful figure in the so-called Hidden Moon Sect is this dejected young man before them. If he were to do something rash, the Hidden Moon Sect's current status would likely be overturned in an instant. What would become of the number one or number two sects? They wouldn't be able to compete with their senior brother...
And so, Li Sisui remained disheartened for three long days, and everyone else remained silent for the same three days. During this time, apart from Leng Rushuang occasionally exchanging a few words with him, the rest of the time was spent in silence. The nights in Sage Valley were exceptionally quiet, with mountain breezes carrying the fragrance of grass and trees, which refreshed people's moods. If one did not consider the abundance of spiritual energy, Sage Valley would indeed be a good place for secluded cultivation...
Boom!
Suddenly, a golden light streaked across the dark night, abruptly tearing a large hole in the night sky. Immediately afterward, a fierce wind arose in Saint Valley, uprooting towering trees as thick as an adult's waist. The wind howled, and birds and beasts cried out in anguish. The Saint Valley, which was peaceful and serene just a moment ago, became a land of apocalypse the next!
The people who were meditating and cultivating were awakened early, and they hastily set up a large formation to witness the unprecedented spectacle before them!
"This is a sign of the arrival of the Sage's Palace, but I didn't expect it to come so early!"
Feng Teng Daoren's expression was solemn, but his eyes were burning with excitement. The Sage's Mansion, which was famous far and wide and coveted by countless cultivators, was right in front of him. How could he remain calm?
"The Holy Palace has descended, and strange phenomena are occurring!"
Before anyone knew it, Fairy Qingdai appeared beside Daoist Fengteng, her face expressionless. The latter glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and smiled slightly.
"Such a heaven-shattering phenomenon could only occur in the Sage's Palace. Today has truly been an eye-opener!"
The wind subsided, the raindrops became denser, and after the gale came a downpour! However, this torrential rain, like a mountain collapsing, was nothing to the group of cultivators. With a little strategy, they could easily handle it. This lively scene finally attracted Li Sisui's attention. He shook his head, regained his usual composure, and said with interest:
"I wonder if there are any other treasures in this Sage's Palace!"
"The sage's residence is a place of divine creation, filled with countless heavenly treasures. Senior's worries are completely unnecessary. As long as you have enough strength and luck, you can choose any treasure within the residence!"
Qingdai Fairy's expression was solemn, which dispelled Li Sisui's concerns. It seems that his vision was still short-sighted. How could a heaven-defying cultivator who could create Saint Hill by himself be without treasures?
"What? Do you need strength to possess the treasures within the Sage's Palace? The Sage Selection is over now. Things are different now. We are the sole victors and can enjoy the Sage's Palace all to ourselves!"
Li Sisui suppressed his smile. He sensed something unusual in Qingdai Fairy's words. He had thought he could just go in with a sack and pick up treasures, but judging from her words, even the Sage's Mansion was not safe. Otherwise, why would he need both luck and strength?
"Senior, you may not know this, but as the only person here who has ever been to the Sage's Mansion, it seems necessary for me to pour some cold water on you all in advance. Treasures are good, but you must be alive to enjoy them!"
The Sage's Mansion is elusive, moving between spatial barriers. Although it contains countless rare treasures and heaven-defying supernatural powers, it is also filled with a large number of unknown remnant array traps, turbulent vortexes, and spatial crevices. The slightest carelessness will result in death and annihilation. The reason why the selection of each Sage has to go through cruel trials is to gather the strongest strength of Sage Hill in order to have any chance of leaving the Sage's Mansion alive!
This explains why the cultivators of Sage Hill so readily accept the rankings from the Sage's Palace each time. And in all previous Sage selections, the three major sects have undoubtedly been the strongest force in Sage Hill; barring any unforeseen circumstances, the results this time shouldn't change much…
The three major sects had made ample preparations for penetrating the Sage's Mansion, practicing several formations well in advance. However, they would be useless this time. You can only rely on your own strength and leave the rest to fate. Don't blame me for scaring you; those with low cultivation should give up the idea of going in as soon as possible..."
As expected, there's no such thing as a free lunch. After Qingdai Fairy said that, Li Sisui immediately felt somewhat disappointed with the Sage's Mansion. Although the Sage's mantle was quite tempting, the existence of the booklet of cultivation techniques meant that even if he found it, he might not be able to inherit it, given its domineering nature. It would be more practical to find some pills to improve his cultivation or spiritual sense...
