Chapter 266 Realm Lord? Great Sage?
The Qilin Ancient Emperor huddled in Xu Qing's palm, looking at the majestic body before him and the unparalleled power he had just witnessed, his heart filled with unprecedented turmoil.
"Such a powerful being exists in this world?! What level of existence does this being reach?"
Having lived for millions of years, he was momentarily struck by the scattered rumors that had circulated since ancient times.
"There are immortals in the world who can roam the nine heavens and live forever. Above the immortals are the immortal kings who can destroy worlds as easily as blowing dust and create the universe as casually as ever."
To annihilate a great realm and create a new world—this is the power of an Immortal King!
But the methods displayed by this mysterious powerhouse just now far exceeded his understanding of Immortal Kings!
In the blink of an eye, one can create a vast space-time that far surpasses the heavens and earth by countless times.
And yet, this vast expanse of time and space is still merely within the palm of the person before them.
Such power to create space and time is beyond the reach of even a Celestial King.
"Could it be—an existence above the Immortal King?" The Ancient Emperor Qilin was shocked, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He once thought that the Emperor's Supreme Being was the pinnacle of the world, and that even if there were immortals, he would dare to challenge them.
Whether it's an immortal or an immortal king, they are all just legends. Ancient emperors and celestial beings are the only supreme powerhouses in the world.
But in front of Xu Qing, this ancient emperor was no different from an ant.
"Perhaps even beings above the Celestial King level aren't this powerful. Just who is this being?"
Just as the Qilin Ancient Emperor's thoughts were churning, Xu Qing's laughter slowly broke the silence of the pavilion: "No need to guess, my name is Xu Qing, and I am the Pavilion Master of this Zhutian Pavilion."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qing gently raised his outstretched palm, and the Qilin Ancient Emperor fell down like an ant.
In an instant, the Qilin Ancient Emperor felt all the restraints around him disappear. His originally tiny body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to his majestic and vast form. However, he no longer had the previous arrogance and anger, but only an unconcealable awe.
At the same time, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. The vast space-time filled with boundless starry rivers receded like the tide, and the Zhutian Pavilion returned to its original appearance.
The Qilin Ancient Emperor stood in the center of the pavilion, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings before turning to Xu Qing, who sat high in the main seat. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he was momentarily at a loss for words.
He was once an ancient emperor who ruled over all spirits and reigned supreme above the nine heavens and ten earths, but now, in front of Xu Qing, he even lacked the courage to look him in the eye.
The feeling of flying infinitely far while still remaining in one's palm instilled immense fear in the ancient Qilin Emperor.
He even felt that even if he truly ascended to immortality, he would be no different from the person before him.
It's just a speck of dust.
Xu Qing took in the Qilin Ancient Emperor's reaction and thought to himself, "The Pavilion of All Heavens is already above the Boundless Sea of Light. Even though I haven't fully mastered it yet, I only need to use a trace of the Pavilion's primordial energy to construct power according to my own understanding, which will be enough to suppress an existence like the Qilin Ancient Emperor. If my realm advances further in the future, I might be able to fully master the power of the Pavilion of All Heavens and extend it outward to all the myriad worlds."
The thought flashed through his mind. Xu Qing looked at the Qilin Ancient Emperor who was standing there in a daze, and gently tapped his fingertip.
In an instant, a massive flow of information surged into the mind of the Qilin Ancient Emperor. Without any deliberate interpretation, the rules of the Zhutian Pavilion and the tradable items (cultivation techniques, resources, cultivation level, lifespan) became clear.
There's almost nothing you can't get if you put in enough effort.
"As long as the value is sufficient, it can be exchanged for anything?" The Qilin Ancient Emperor's pupils suddenly dilated, and his breathing became rapid.
He has lived for millions of years, and even as the supreme emperor, he is still bound by the shackles of lifespan.
The ancient emperors, whose power overwhelmed the heavens, were ultimately not immortals and could not escape the erosion of time. At most, they could only live for more than ten thousand years. Even if they had the elixir of immortality to live another life, they could only live for thirty thousand years.
Even if one seals away the Immortal Essence Liquid and hides in a forbidden zone to delay time, there will still be a day when one passes away peacefully.
The reason he was previously aroused by anger was because he was afraid that his lifespan would be shortened, but the news brought by Xu Qing at this moment swept away all his anger and fear.
"This is a destiny of immortality! An opportunity that can make me an immortal!" The Ancient Emperor of Qilin exclaimed in his heart, already deeply believing Xu Qing's words.
The being who could so easily teleport this ancient emperor to this time and space and display such extraordinary abilities had no reason to deceive him.
Even if there was deception, he was already extremely fortunate to have met such a person, given that he was barely alive.
The Ancient Qilin Emperor suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed intently on Xu Qing, his voice trembling slightly with excitement: "Sect Master, I am willing to exchange everything I have for the chance to become an immortal. Is that alright?"
Looking at the burning expectation in the eyes of the Qilin Ancient Emperor, Xu Qing slowly shook his head, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable certainty: "No."
These two words were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, instantly dimming the eyes of the Qilin Ancient Emperor.
With a light tap of his fingertip, Xu Qing caused the items that the Ancient Emperor Qilin had previously revealed to be available for purchase to appear in the void.
"Everything you have is the pinnacle in your world, but if you want to become an immortal, you are still far from it."
Xu Qing's voice clearly reached the ears of the Qilin Ancient Emperor, causing the emperor to freeze in place. His original excited expression vanished, replaced by an undisguised disappointment.
He lowered his eyes, his voice tinged with bitterness: "So—even everything I have isn't enough?"
Just as the Qilin Ancient Emperor's spirits sank to rock bottom, Xu Qing's voice rang out again: "However, being awakened just now and exchanging 'greetings' with me has indeed depleted a considerable amount of your life essence. For this loss, I can compensate you with some small trinkets."
After saying that, dozens of pills appeared in his palm. The surface of the pills was surrounded by rich life essence. Just by getting close, the Qilin Ancient Emperor felt his depleted blood energy stirring.
"Thank you for your kindness, Pavilion Master!" The Ancient Emperor of Qilin bowed and swallowed the pill in one gulp.
The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, and the rich life essence surged into the limbs and bones like a river, instantly replenishing the previously depleted blood and energy, and even invigorating the spirit.
"What kind of pill is this?! How can it have such immense vitality?" the Ancient Emperor Qilin exclaimed in shock.
At this moment, the blood energy he had recovered was comparable to what other Dark Sovereigns had gained by devouring billions or even trillions of lives!
In an instant, he felt as if he had devoured dozens of Great Sages, with a massive amount of essence surging into his body. Although his condition had not recovered to the peak of the ancient emperor, it was still more than enough!
"It's just a pill made from a sixth-order peak life form," Xu Qing said calmly.
He still had 3 billion of these peak-level Realm Lord pills left, so they weren't exactly rare.
"Only sixth rank?" The Qilin Ancient Emperor looked up abruptly, his eyes filled with confusion.
"But isn't the sixth rank the domain of a Dao-Slaying King? I clearly feel that the life force of a single pill is comparable to that of a Great Sage, so it should be at least the eighth rank!"
The information stream that Xu Qing just transmitted also provided a correspondence for each realm.
But this clearly doesn't match what Xu Qing said.
