In fact, Zhu Chen already had a vague idea of ​​what Qi Daolin wanted to tell him.

After all, this old guy had mentioned the "Immortal Palace" outside earlier, and he had some past grievances with the Immortal Palace.

Clearly, the 'serious business' the other party wanted to discuss with them this time was also related to the Immortal Palace.

However, he did not speak directly, but continued to look at Qi Daolin and asked, "I wonder what matter could make a sect leader like you, Master Qi, go to such lengths to bring the three of us here?"

"Ah~"

Qi Daolin sighed helplessly, then turned around, his gaze falling on the dilapidated ruins, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.

"To be honest, the ruins you see here were once a renowned cultivation holy land throughout the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

Qi Daolin spoke slowly, his voice somewhat deep: "This Supreme Daoist Academy was founded 30,000 years ago. Its first Daoist Master was an exceptionally talented Supreme expert. He established the rule that the Supreme Daoist Academy would not be bound by convention and would accept talents from all over the world, regardless of their background, only looking at their talent..."

Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow: "These sect rules sounded quite enlightened, how did they turn out like this?"

"It's precisely because we're too open-minded that things have become like this..."

Qi Daolin walked to a broken stone tablet, and while stroking the runes on it, he continued, "The Supreme Daoist Temple has a unique skill called the Eight-Nine Heavens Technique. The greatest feature of this technique is that it can imitate all the laws of the world. In order to perfect this technique, each Daoist Master would travel to various places to observe the inheritance of various ancient sects, take the essence, and integrate it into his own body."

Xiao Yan's eyes bulged: "Holy crap, are you guys stealing other sects' techniques?"

Qi Daolin nodded: "That's right. Those ancient sects regard their inheritance as a closely guarded secret, how could they allow others to pry into it? Over time, the Supreme Daoist Temple has become a thorn in the side of all the ancient sects, but they have never dared to make any rash moves because of the strength of the Daoist Temple."

"What then?"

Xiao Yan pressed for an answer.

Qi Daolin was silent for a moment before continuing, "Later, my master... who was also the previous Dao Lord, offended the Immortal Palace during a trip."

"The Celestial Palace?"

Xiao Yan was taken aback and turned to look at Zhu Chen: "Could the immortal palace he mentioned be the one you told me about before, brother?"

Zhu Chen nodded slightly: "Yes, that's the Immortal Palace."

Qi Daolin glanced at Zhu Chen, then continued, "The Immortal Palace is one of the oldest forces in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, with unfathomable depths. Their successors are passed down through generations, but each generation is full of extraordinary talents. My master accidentally glimpsed a core inheritance of the Immortal Palace and was personally hunted down by the Supreme Being of the Immortal Palace."

"In that battle, my master risked his life to protect me, but he himself..."

At this point, Qi Daolin suddenly clenched his fists, and his voice began to choke up: "He was killed on the spot by the Supreme Being of the Immortal Palace, and his body was never found."

Qingyi listened, a look of pity appearing in her eyes.

Xiao Yan also fell silent.

Only Zhu Chen showed a strange expression.

While some of the things Qi Daolin said were fabricated, most of them were true.

The Supreme Daoist Temple and the Immortal Palace are indeed sworn enemies.

The previous Dao Lord was indeed harmed by the Immortal Palace.

Qi Daolin took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then continued, "After my master died, the Immortal Palace did not give up. They joined forces with several other ancient sects that had a grudge against the Supreme Daoist Temple and broke through this place in one fell swoop!"

"In that battle, almost all the disciples of the dojo were killed or wounded, and all the books and treasures were looted. When I returned, this place had become like this."

"I'm just using illusions to maintain the dojo's former appearance, which is nothing but self-deception." After hearing Qi Daolin's explanation, Zhu Chen thought to himself, "That's exactly right."

Qi Daolin went through all this trouble, it really was for the sake of the Immortal Palace.

It seems this old fellow knows he has a grudge against the Immortal Palace and wants to use me to deal with them.

Qi Daolin paused for a moment, then continued, "Actually, I originally intended to take revenge slowly on my own. Although the Immortal Palace is strong, it is not invincible. Given enough time, I may find an opportunity!"

"It's a pity that this era is an unprecedented golden age, with all the ancient sects producing outstanding successors. In particular, the successor of the Immortal Palace, Di Chong, is hailed as the most amazing first generation in the past ten thousand years of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

Xiao Yan's eyes flashed: "Di Chong? Is this guy that powerful?"

Qi Daolin nodded solemnly: "This person is young, yet he is already invincible among his peers. Moreover, it is said that he has the inherited bloodline of the ancestors of the Immortal Palace flowing through his body. His talent is so high that it can be described as rare throughout the ages. I have secretly observed him several times, and his growth rate is alarming."

Zhu Chen narrowed his eyes.

Of course he knew the name Di Chong.

In the original work, this guy is indeed the successor of the Immortal Palace in this generation, arrogant and domineering, looking down on everyone.

But in the end, he was beaten so badly by Shi Hao that he didn't even recognize his own mother.

However, at this point in time, Di Chong is indeed a formidable opponent.

If he were to make a move, it's uncertain whether he could kill him with a single finger.

Seeing that Zhu Chen and the others remained silent, Qi Daolin continued, "It's laughable, really. I, the Dao Master of the Supreme Daoist Temple, have lived for so many years, only to find that I don't even have a single respectable successor. On the other hand, the Immortal Palace, although it is also a single lineage with few members, has Di Chong's talent and potential far exceeded my expectations."

"I worry that if things continue like this, the hope of revenge will become increasingly slim..."

Having said that, Qi Daolin's gaze fell on Xiao Yan again: "So... that's why I'm looking for a suitable person to inherit the mantle of the Supreme Dojo."

Xiao Yan noticed Qi Daolin's burning gaze and was momentarily stunned: "You old codger, you don't still want to take me as your disciple, do you? I've already told you..."

"Do not."

Qi Daolin interrupted him directly: "I will not force you, but I hope... that one of you is willing to take on this responsibility!"

"To be honest, I am indeed no match for the Supreme Being of the Immortal Palace. That is a fact, and I admit it. Moreover, according to the intelligence I have gathered over the years, there is an even more terrifying figure in the Immortal Palace than the Supreme Being. As long as that person is alive, the Immortal Palace will always be invincible."

Xiao Yan couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Damn it, there are beings in the Immortal Palace stronger than the Supreme One, and you still want me to join your Supreme Dojo? Isn't this just trying to drag me into a trap?"

Qi Daolin quickly explained, "Young friend, don't be anxious. I don't want you to seek revenge against the Immortal Palace Supreme or the one behind him. I just hope that there is a successor in my Supreme Daoist Temple who can defeat the Immortal Palace successor. As long as the successor of my Supreme Daoist Temple can overpower the Immortal Palace successor, I can indirectly avenge the former Daoist Master who protected me back then."

Hearing Qi Daolin's words, Xiao Yan finally felt relieved.

If it were just a battle with the successor of that immortal palace, they might still have a chance.

and many more……

Suddenly, something popped into Xiao Yan's mind.

He looked up at Qi Daolin and asked incredulously, "Damn it, isn't the word 'Emperor' something you can't easily utter here? Why does that Immortal Palace successor's name still contain the word 'Emperor'?"
