Chapter 88 Heavenly Tao Treasure Pavilion
Upon hearing Qinchuan address Wu Yong by his name and call him a "damned fool," Sect Master Yun Wu Tian and all the elders' eyes twitched involuntarily, wanting to burst out in anger. However, they were subdued by a glance from the Great Elder.
Yet, their hearts were still filled with dissatisfaction, planning to find an opportunity to inquire the Great Elder about the matter.
Qinchuan seemed to either not notice Wu Tian and the other elders' dissatisfaction or he noticed but simply didn't care in the slightest.
Waving his hand to disperse the spiritual mist, he looked at the two Baizhen fish in the Spirit Pond and was slightly surprised.
"Eh..."
"They've actually grown whiskers; are they about to undergo the Dragon Transformation?"
Qinchuan was astonished to see that the two Baizhen fish, which had escaped Wu Yong's grasp, had actually grown several golden whiskers. Although their size hadn't increased much, each of their scales was crystal clear and exquisite, with rosy light flowing between them, quite extraordinary.
With Qinchuan's vast experience, how could he not see that this was clearly a sign of impending transformation into dragons?
Moreover, his Emperor Soul was sensitive, and he could faintly feel an enormous power contained within the two Baizhen fish.
If it were not for the Prohibitions he had left in the Spirit Pond, these two Baizhen fish would have long since broken free from the pond. Even the Sect Master and the elders of the Congyun Sect would likely not be able to suppress them.
Even the Great Elder might not necessarily be their match.
"Time truly is a marvelous force..."
Qinchuan couldn't help reminiscing, surprised that in just a short tens of thousands of years, the thirty-six Dragon Veins he had once nurtured had grown and transformed into Earth Dragons, and even the fish he raised were close to undergoing a Dragon Transformation.
"These Baizhen fish have already grown whiskers. If they find the right opportunity in the future, they may have the chance to become real dragons. Unfortunately, the founder of our Congyun Sect has disappeared, no one could free them from the Spirit Pond, let alone nurture them."
"Otherwise, with two true dragons presiding over the sect, our Congyun Sect would not have fallen to such a state."
One of the elders couldn't help but lament.
Qinchuan turned his head and glanced at the elder, saying unapologetically, "The decline of the sect is due to your incompetence!"
The elder's face immediately turned red upon hearing this, jumping with rage. I was just lamenting casually; why the need to lash out at me like this?
It wasn't just him; Wu Tian and everyone else present were also dumbfounded. It was he who was lamenting, so why drag us into it and scold us too?
Everyone had already been suppressing a full chest of rage, and at this moment, they could hardly wait to erupt.
However, just at that moment, the Great Elder, sensing something was amiss, quickly stepped forward to change the subject, "Young Master, would you like to visit the Heavenly Dao Treasure Pavilion first to see the decrees left by our ancestor?"
Seeing the Great Elder intervene, Wu Tian and the others temporarily suppressed their anger.
Qinchuan nodded, "Let's go take a look."
He too wanted to see what Wu Tian had discovered and why he disappeared.
The Heavenly Dao Treasure Pavilion was right behind the main hall. They passed through the main hall to arrive in front of the Heavenly Dao Treasure Pavilion.
"Great Elder, the Heavenly Dao Treasure Pavilion is the foundation of our Congyun Sect. Are you truly willing to let an outsider enter?"
The elders voiced their concerns.
"The Young Master is not an outsider," the Great Elder shook his head and replied, "There are some things that you all do not understand and need not delve into the specifics. All you need to know is that with the Young Master's arrival, our Congyun Sect will no longer decline starting from today."
The crowd was left wide-eyed and dumbfounded, "Him? Perhaps he indeed has some talent and potential, and there's certainly something mysterious about him, but to rely on him to restore the glory of our Congyun Sect... Great Elder, I'm afraid you are overestimating him."
"Great Elder, is your mental state still well?"
One of the great elders finally couldn't help but muster the courage to voice the question in their hearts.
The Great Elder was not angered by hearing this. He knew that today's events were indeed beyond belief and his own behavior and attitude were questionable.
But there were some things that he dared not speak of without Qinchuan's permission.
"I know what I'm doing, and I am very clear-headed."
The Great Elder spoke in response.
"Then who exactly is this person? Why do you show him such respect?"
Wu Tian couldn't help but ask as well.
The Great Elder shook his head, "One day you will all know."
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but frown, not getting the answer they wanted.
But knowing that the Great Elder's mental state was normal, everyone also breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Qinchuan walked straight into the Great Dao Treasure Pavilion.
Within the Great Dao Treasure Pavilion, there were many prohibitions that ordinary people couldn't pass through. Only with a specific token could one enter.
Wu Tian certainly wouldn't take the initiative to give Qinchuan the token.
And Qinchuan didn't ask for the token either, he just casually drew a few mysterious runes in front of the Heavenly Tao Treasure Pavilion's gate, then, under the astonished gazes of Wu Tian and others, led Qin Xiaoyu with ease into the Great Dao Treasure Pavilion.
This left Wu Tian and the other elders stunned in place, utterly confused.
"What's happening? How... how did he get in?"
"Great Elder, did you give him the Supreme Command?"
The crowd looked at the Great Elder.
The Great Elder shook his head, took out his own Supreme Elder Command, pointed it in the air in front of the Heavenly Tao Treasure Pavilion gate, and then followed behind Qinchuan, entering the pavilion.
Outside, Wu Tian and the other elders were suddenly shocked upon seeing this.
The Great Elder hadn't given the Supreme Command to Qinchuan!
Then how did Qinchuan gain access to the foundation of the Congyun Sect, entering the Heavenly Tao Treasure Pavilion?!
"I saw him casually gesturing a few times in the air, then he just walked into the Heavenly Tao Treasure Pavilion as if there were no obstructions...."
That Elder Qian said, his eyes somewhat vacant.
"..."
Wu Tian and the other elders also froze, looking at each other before taking a deep breath, "Let's hurry up and follow him in to see, I don't believe he can really get into the top floor of the Heavenly Tao Treasure Pavilion!"
Immediately, everyone took out their own specific tokens and entered one after another.
Inside the Heavenly Tao Treasure Pavilion, all sorts of resources and treasures were extremely abundant.
But Qinchuan glanced around and his brows slightly furrowed.
Because the resources and treasures in this Heavenly Tao Treasure Pavilion, compared to the heyday of Cloud Sect, weren't even one-tenth of what they used to be.
"It really has fallen..."
Qinchuan let out a light sigh. Although Cloud Sect was just a piece he had casually placed in the Lower Realm, seeing its current decline, he couldn't help but feel a bit sentimental.
At the same time, he couldn't help but think of the other chess pieces he had set up back then, how were those top powers in the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, even in the Divine Realm, now?
Several lifetimes of planning, back in those days of the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, he had control over half of them.
However, this final reincarnation of his was much longer than any of the previous ones, having taken a full one hundred thousand years to return.
This time, the situation seemed to have changed slightly. Some existences that had been hidden in the shadows were quietly moving, even some of the methods he had left in the Great Wilderness had been tampered with.
He wondered whether the other arrangements he had made had also been touched?
