Chapter 281 Caretaker of the Mountain (2/2)
At this moment, the seven envoys waved their sleeves, causing the Genesis Qi clouds to move, flying towards several different locations in the inner mountains of the Cangxuan Sect.
The envoy from Saint Genesis Peak landed in front of Zhou Yuan and the rest. He appeared to a middle-aged and good-natured person, smiling as he said to everyone, “I am the one of the stewards of Saint Genesis Peak’s ushering office. You may address me as steward Fang Zhen.”
The numerous disciples hurriedly greeted him.
“I’ll be bringing you guys to Saint Genesis Peak.” Fang Zhen waved his hand, and the cloud rose, carrying the many disciples as it disappeared into the distance.
The Genesis Qi cloud flew past countless ancient palaces in the clouds, the many mountains hiding amongst them. Streaks of light would shoot past one after another, most of them youthful figures. However, every single one possessed powerful Genesis Qi, either black or gold sashes tied around their waists...
Compared to the outer mountains, the inner mountains truly revealed the foundations of the Cangxuan Sect.
Half an incense stick of time later, Fang Zhen gradually dropped their speed. Zhou Yuan and the rest lifted their heads at this moment, and saw an unbroken mountain range rise into the sky to their front, plunging into the clouds. These mountains were dotted by numerous buildings, a spectacular, majestic sight to behold.
Mysterious undulations spread from between the mountains, making one’s heart beat faster.
“This is Saint Genesis Peak!”
Upon hearing Fang Zhen’s words, the many disciples cast their gazes over, soaking in the sight of the mist covered mountains. It was as if real dragons were hidden within the mists that none of them were able to clearly see through.
However, they were still able to feel the mysterious pressure that spread from inside.
“The main peak of our Saint Genesis Peak was sealed after patriarch Cang Xuan’s death, but in accordance to the rules, I will still bring all of you to the foot of the main peak to pay homage.” Fang Zhen chuckled, before directing the cloud towards the most majestic peak in the mists. It was so tall that they were unable to see its peak as they landed at the bottom.
An old hall sat at the foot of the mountain. When Fang Zhen landed, his expression turned solemn.
The sight of his appearance made the many disciples not dare to make any noise, maintaining the solemn and quiet atmosphere.
In front of the old hall was a stone plaza. The disciples found that it was currently empty, the only presence a hunched back old man wearing simple hemp clothing slowly sweeping the fallen leaves on it.
When their gazes swept across him, they discovered that there were no Genesis Qi undulations from the old man who faintly trembled as he went about his work. Hence, they paid no further attention to him.
However, when Fang Zhen saw the old man, he solemnly bowed.
The old man did not respond, as if he was deaf and mute.
Fang Zhen turned towards the disciples and said in a low voice, “This senior used to be the patriarch’s servant, and can be considered the one who has followed the patriarch the longest. However, due to his lack of talent, his Genesis Qi cultivation is only at the elementary level.”
“On account of his loyalty, the patriarch gathered numerous previous Genesis resources to synthesize a longevity pill for him, bestowing him long life. On this topic, he is not any less senior than the Thunder Prison Peak master Lei Jun.”
“His character is rather eccentric, and is not fond of wielding power and influence. After the patriarch’s death, he has been staying here at Saint Genesis Peak as its caretaker.”
Fang Zhen sternly said, “Don’t be slow, call him old Xuan.”
The disciples did not dare to delay, hurriedly bowing towards the old man.
Zhou Yuan also looked towards the old man in amazement. Patriarch Cang Xuan had never told him this information back then. It was likely because that ‘patriarch Cang Xuan’ was only a fraction of his will.
Zhou Yuan’s gaze leaped past the foot of the mountain, following the mountain path as he looked towards the main peak that was concealed by the mists...
The instant he did this, he suddenly felt the ancient Saint Rune hidden in the depths of his pupils seem to tremble slightly for a moment.
Although it was faint, he caused Zhou Yuan’s heart to violently shudder, the emotions in his heart akin to a raging sea.
However, his expression remained calm though the hands inside his fists clenched tightly in excitement.
This was the first time he had felt such a reaction from the Decoder Saint Rune. Looks like it was exactly as patriarch Cang Xuan had said, the second Saint Rune was indeed on the main peak!
However, the main peak was currently sealed, so how was he going to enter?
