"Big Brother..."

Hong Er couldn’t help but transmit his voice and ask, "Do you want him to become the future master of the Primordial Immortal Hall?"

He had always been straightforward, saying what was on his mind.

Xie Xuanyi is indeed strong enough and qualified to inherit the Primordial Immortal Hall.

But...

The great tribulation years ago did not lead to the extinction of the Great Ape Mountain.

Since the Holy Emperor still has descendants, this Immortal Hall should be left to those with the Imperial Blood of the Holy Emperor!

"We no longer know what the world outside looks like."

Big Brother said calmly, "As long as this young man’s character and conduct can pass the test... what harm is there in gifting him the Primordial Immortal Hall?"

The Holy Emperor is an immensely open-minded great existence.

If one is prejudiced...

The Holy Emperor would not have sacrificed his "little self" to personally seal the realm fissure.

"Two Seniors."

Xie Xuanyi bowed to the hall and said, "If you both agree, I shall take away the Primordial Holy Map in its entirety."

He had already defeated Hong Er.

According to the prior agreement, he could take away the hall pillars with the mural records.

"Wait."

At this moment.

From the end of the hall, that profound voice echoed again, and this time... it wasn’t just the voice that resounded.

A hazy and ethereal golden silhouette emerged from the mist and slowly descended.

"Big Brother."

Hong Er saluted the golden silhouette, extremely respectful in attitude.

"Is this... the Heavenly Human Realm?"

Xie Xuanyi’s gaze sharpened, and secretly felt a shock in his Heart Lake.

This golden silhouette’s pressure was not less than that of Senior Brother Xuan Ming in the Primordial Swallowing Sacred Realm.

Clearly.

This "Big Brother" had reached the realm of Heavenly People in life.

Treasure Transformation...

To have cultivated to this stage, how difficult it is?

"Senior."

Xie Xuanyi also saluted.

"No need to be formal, you can call me ’Hong Da’."

The golden silhouette smiled and said, "Rest assured, cultivators of Great Ape Mountain are trustworthy and always value promises. Since we have already agreed with you, there is absolutely no reason to go back on it. You may take away all forty-nine hall pillars..."

In the presence of this golden silhouette, Xie Xuanyi felt a familiar aura... The Taoist Intent emanating from him was somewhat similar to the Saint Prince, purely of the fighting path.

Although receiving pressure from the other.

It was more of a kinship.

"Thank you, Senior."

Xie Xuanyi contemplated and cautiously asked, "If I pull these hall pillars away, will it not disturb the peace of the realm fissure?"

"No need to worry."

Hong Da said warmly, "The Primordial Immortal Hall does not rely on them for support, even if all are removed, it will not affect the hall."

"Rest assured."

Hong Er laughed beside him: "These Holy Diagrams are left for the creation of future generations... What truly suppresses the realm fissure is the Holy Emperor and Big Brother. Of course, I also contributed a small part."

Upon hearing this.

Xie Xuanyi felt slightly more at ease.

He looked again at Hong Da...

The golden silhouette was enveloped by the fighting path, his features were unclear.

But from the ruinous state of the hall throne, Xie Xuanyi vaguely guessed that this mysterious "Hong Da" should be the main pillar of the ancestral Holy Emperor’s hall. After a thousand years, the main pillar had petrified, even with his life and death sword qi, he could not shake it in the slightest.

"You can take away the Primordial Holy Map."

"However..."

Hong Da spoke, and his tone shifted.

His gaze fell upon Xie Xuanyi and slowly said, "There is one rule I must tell you."

"Please, Senior, speak without reservation."

Since the other was candid, Xie Xuanyi did not avoid it either.

"The Primordial Holy Map records the fighting secret technique that all clans of the Demon Country yearned for back then."

Hong Da said word by word, "The Holy Emperor’s prowess in killing was unmatched, renowned for this. As a Sword Cultivator, you should have heard of this point..."

Xie Xuanyi nodded.

The Daoist Collection of Lotus Peak contained very few ancient histories.

A thousand years ago was a time of unparalleled prosperity for Sword Cultivators of the Human Race, and the influence of the Da Sui Sword Palace then was by no means inferior to the Great Ape Mountain.

The Daoist Collection left by the First Master constantly reminded successors.

To ascend to the peak of the Sword Cultivator’s path, one needs to dual cultivate two sword daos.

Not only refine the Lifebound Cave Heaven.

But also refine one’s physique.

The reason is simple, a thousand years ago, a Sword Immortal from the Da Sui Sword Palace had fought with a Demon Saint from Great Ape Mountain, and due to lacking in physique, suffered greatly. Even solely in terms of killing prowess, the secret techniques of Great Ape Mountain cultivated to the extreme were not inferior to the peak Sword Immortal.

"This Primordial Secret Technique..."

Xie Xuanyi asked with a frowned face: "Could it be there are restrictions in practicing it?"

"Naturally."

Hong Da smiled softly and said: "Back then, His Majesty was enlightened by a strongest, and comprehended this secret technique. Since then, geniuses who comprehended the Primordial Holy Map were as common as carp crossing the river, yet none could fully cultivate this secret technique. You could say, the first layer of the Primordial Holy Map you now comprehend is but an introduction."

"...Strongest?"

Xie Xuanyi felt another shock in his Heart Lake.

The strongest from a thousand years ago was different from now!

Nowadays, reaching the Ninth Layer of Yang God may be considered a "strongest".

Heavenly Dao is damaged.

Cultivating to the peak of Yang God is already the limit of this world.

But back then, there were many strong people of Heavenly People fame!

To be called "strongest" by the Holy Emperor at the Peak of Heavenly Human, what kind of existence is that?

"Did the Holy Emperor receive this creation in his youth?"

Xie Xuanyi couldn’t help but ask.

"Quite the opposite."

Hong Da shook his head, "This Primordial Secret Technique was mastered by the Holy Emperor after comprehending the entire Great Ape Mountain Inheritance, and became unparalleled in the world... only then did he master the secret technique. This creation was a gift received after the Holy Emperor ascended to Heavenly Human."

"!!!"

Xie Xuanyi’s pupils contracted.

"There’s no need to delve any further."

"That strongest, was a true strongest... The Holy Emperor once said, the strongest did not belong to this world."

Hong Da guessed Xie Xuanyi’s thoughts.

He spoke seriously, "The strongest who left the Primordial Secret Technique set down a rule; to refine this Primordial Immortal Hall, one must pass the ’Heart Ape’ trial... You can take away these Holy Diagrams, but if you wish to become the master of this Immortal Hall, the Heart Ape Trial is unavoidable."

"You can now begin to comprehend this Primordial Holy Map."

"According to the rule."

"You need to comprehend to thirty layers to meet me."

"Comprehend to forty layers to qualify for refining the Immortal Hall."

Hong Da said earnestly, "But... with the outside Heavenly Dao broken, some rules can be bent."

His appearance now, meeting with Xie Xuanyi, was in violation of part of the rule.

However, in Hong Da’s view.

With Xie Xuanyi’s talent, comprehending thirty layers was only a matter of time.

Even comprehending forty layers, wasn’t much of a problem.

But what he now desired was a "future master" who qualified to refine the Immortal Hall.

"Senior’s meaning is..."

Xie Xuanyi took a deep breath.

"If you are willing, you can now attempt the Heart Ape Trial."

Hong Da calmly said, "Do not worry, regardless of the outcome, you can take away these Primordial Holy Maps, the previous promise remains effective. But let me say this upfront, if you are defeated miserably in the Heart Ape Trial, you are destined never to become the master of the Primordial Immortal Hall."
