Chapter 61 The Central Plains Extraordinary Scholars' Mansion
After leaving Qinmen, He Lang originally planned to return to Yaoguang Holy Land to cultivate for a while, but on the way he heard the news that Qishi Mansion had opened, so he turned around and headed towards the region where Qishi Mansion was located.
Among the five regions of the Big Dipper, Zhongzhou represents antiquity and mystery, and Qishifu is an academy in Zhongzhou. The strongest talents among the five regions will all make a trip to this place.
As long as one possesses the combat power of a Saint Son, the Qishi Mansion will accept anyone who comes. If one's strength is sufficient, one can join the Qishi Mansion.
The Qishi Mansion has a great influence on the five regions of Beidou. Legend has it that it contains endless creation. The last time it was opened was ten thousand years ago. He Lang is very interested in the Qishi Mansion.
Many young champions gather at Qishi Mansion, which saves him the trouble of searching for them one by one. These outstanding talents with special physiques are closely watched by their own forces, and they are accompanied by protectors when they go out. Their whereabouts are also unpredictable.
He had once spied outside the Purple Mansion Holy Land, hoping to find an opportunity to ambush Zixia, the innate Dao embryo of the Purple Mansion, but after waiting for several days, he found no opportunity at all.
To this end, he fabricated the persona that true strongmen do not need protectors, and then swept across the Eastern Wilderness, hoping to use his ever-expanding reputation to change the unhealthy trend of contemporary prodigies liking to bring protectors. However, the effect was better than nothing!
The powerful forces behind these young royal bodies are not fools; they would never agree to let those prodigies train alone.
He Lang knew that there was a path leading to the depths of the starry sky in Qishi Mansion, and this ancient path would open once whenever the kings were vying for supremacy.
That is the true path to enlightenment. The strongest young generation on each ancient star will embark on this ancient path to compete with other peerless heroes.
He Lang stepped on the secret of the character "行" (xing), which evolved the mystery of time. The distance was not far for him, and he arrived at the gate of Qishi Mansion in about a day.
Qishi Mansion is situated on a dragon vein, boasting beautiful and diverse scenery. There are waterfalls that cascade down like a silver river from the heavens, as well as strange cliffs and rocks vying for attention. Jade herbs and orchids grow everywhere, and the essence of heaven and earth is abundant.
Purple mist rises from the immortal mountain, and mythical birds and beasts appear. Amidst the drifting clouds and mist, one can see ancient medicinal herbs vanish in an instant, making people envious.
There weren't many people outside the gate of Qishi Mansion. Only an old man was sweeping fallen leaves in front of the gate, just like an ordinary person, without any divine power manifesting.
Upon seeing this man, He Lang's expression turned serious. In his eyes, the old man's every move followed the Dao, simple and natural, with all things in heaven and earth moving with him.
This is a figure who is close to a sage!
He was familiar with this aura. After he took out the Devouring Demon Jar, he often received the cultivation of the Yao Guang Holy Land's foundation in the forbidden area deep within the Yao Guang Holy Land. Those foundations were all ancient saint-level powerhouses.
Seemingly sensing his gaze, the old man sweeping outside the gate of Qishi Mansion turned his head to look in the direction of He Lang, then his expression changed and he showed surprise.
"Young man, you've arrived too early. The heroes of the Five Regions haven't arrived yet. May I ask which holy land you are a descendant of? At such a young age, you've already cultivated to the level of the Nine Transformations of the Dragon."
The old man nodded slightly to He Lang, his expression kind, and his voice clearly reached He Lang's ears.
"Yao Guang He Lang greets Senior. Are you the Lord of the Qi Shi Mansion?"
He Lang stepped forward, came to a short distance from the old man, and greeted him.
"So it's you! That's right, I am the current head of the Extraordinary Talents Mansion."
The old man had actually heard of He Lang, and his eyes showed surprise. A vision of the Great Dao's annihilation appeared in his eyes, and his gaze kept moving on He Lang.
No matter how he tried to see, he found that He Lang's body was always shrouded in a layer of chaotic energy, making everything hazy and invisible.
The old master of Qishi Mansion withdrew his gaze in surprise, knowing that He Lang had a secret treasure protecting him, so he did not pry any further.
"Senior, may I enter the manor now? I've heard that the Qishi Manor contains the Great Dao imprints left by ancient sages, as well as various incomplete secret techniques. I'm eager to observe them."
He Lang knew that the old master of the Qishi Mansion was spying on him with his Heavenly Eye, but he didn't care. With the lid of the Devouring Demon Jar protecting him, not to mention a Dao-Slaying King, even a Saint would not be able to see through his secrets.
The old master of Qishi Mansion was stunned when he looked at the empty mountain gate. In the past, the selection of Qishi Mansion was a competition among peers, and the strongest among them entered Qishi Mansion. In this generation, a freak appeared, leaving the other geniuses of the same generation behind. Judging from the aura that He Lang showed, the other geniuses would not be able to beat him even if they tried!
He is far ahead of his contemporaries, and even the older generation of strong individuals may not be his match.
How can we test it now?
After pondering for a moment, the old manor lord said to He Lang, "You've given me a difficult problem. If I leave you here to wait, who knows when a prodigy will arrive at the Qishi Mansion? That wouldn't be fair to you. However, the rules of the Qishi Mansion cannot be broken. It seems I'll have to take action myself."
The older generation of powerful figures in the Eastern Wilderness all believed that He Lang's strength was unmatched in the Five Domains. It was said that he had never used a second move throughout his journey, and they believed that the title of the number one person in the Five Domains was not unfounded. The old master of the Qishi Mansion was also eager to see just how strong He Lang had become.
Attack me with all your might!
The old manor lord instructed He Lang to go all out and not hold back.
"Please enlighten me, senior."
Without further ado, He Lang activated the ancient scriptures within his body, and in an instant, boundless holy light emanated from his body, transforming this world into a domain of holy light. Within the holy light, one after another, symbols of the Great Dao were imprinted upon this world, imprisoning the Dao and laws of this realm. Apart from He Lang's own Dao and laws, no one could borrow the power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth within his domain.
He Lang stood in this domain, like an immortal god who had come from ancient times, impervious to all laws and indestructible by all calamities.
When the old master of Qishi Mansion saw this divine domain that imprisoned the Dao and the Law, a look of appreciation appeared in his eyes.
"You've actually cultivated Yao Guang's Primordial Holy Light Technique to this level. It's truly a case of a new generation replacing the old. You certainly deserve the title of the number one young person in the Five Regions."
The old manor lord raised his hand and struck horizontally. It was very simple and unadorned, without any fancy or unusual phenomena. It seemed like he was just playing around, but a great force was gathering in his palm, making the old man's aura domineering. It was as if he was pushing the Great Dao to turn and suppressing He Lang.
He did not use power beyond the Dragon Transformation Realm, but it was as if a star field had crashed down, with Dao patterns intertwining in the void, trying to break through He Lang's divine domain.
However, when his large hand entered the divine domain constructed by He Lang using the Primordial Holy Light Technique, his expression changed. He felt his own power and Dao techniques were being suppressed in a terrifying way. Furthermore, a vast and boundless refining power emerged in this domain, transforming the Dao patterns he had activated into the most primordial Dao symbols, which were then refined within this divine domain.
"Invulnerable to all laws! You've already gone this far."
The old master of Qishi Mansion was also somewhat surprised that his attack failed. He Lang's divine domain was too abnormal. Standing in it, he seemed to be the creator.
This kind of extremely strong defensive power is truly terrifying!
"You flatter me, senior."
He Lang remained calm after being praised by the old mansion master. At the same time, he also threw a punch to meet the old mansion master's palm. When the fist and palm collided, the supreme divine power shattered the void, causing the mountains outside the Qishi Mansion to tremble and rocks to fly everywhere.
"When~"
The metallic clang of metal striking metal rang out as fists and palms collided.
He Lang remained motionless, his golden holy light shining even brighter, his primordial holy radiance illuminating the heavens and earth, like a supreme god.
The old master of Qishi Mansion remained motionless, but his expression had become much more serious. The fact that He Lang could contend with He Lang's physical body without being at a disadvantage was enough to prove that He Lang's physical body was also incredibly powerful.
"You have passed the test and may enter the Qishi Mansion."
The old manor lord withdrew his hand, and blood flowed from it, revealing the snow-white bones beneath.
