Duan Changsheng's expression was solemn as he led Qin Hao to the back hall of the Ancestor Hall, followed by the Grand Elder.
"Qin Hao, why do you possess the Infinite Sword Finger?" Duan Changsheng looked deeply at Qin Hao and asked.
The Infinite Sword Finger was a supreme martial art of the Xuan Tian Sword Sect that had long been lost, only existing in remnants, treasured by the sect as its ultimate technique.
"The Infinite Sword Finger?!" Qin Hao had just deciphered Sun Degong's Fire Dragon Palm, using the Infinite Sword Finger? How could this be possible? Wasn't the Infinite Sword Finger lost long ago?" The Grand Elder widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Sect Master, the reason I possess the Infinite Sword Finger is because I have received the inheritance of the Celestial Emperor. The Celestial Emperor told me to revive the Xuan Tian Sect and restore its glory!" Qin Hao smiled faintly, speaking calmly.
"What?!" Duan Changsheng's whole body trembled, showing a trace of shock in his eyes.
"Nonsense! Sect Master, don't listen to his nonsense! Qin Hao, you're simply disrespectful. The Celestial Emperor has long fallen, so how could he pass on the inheritance to you? Moreover, do you even deserve to be a disciple of the Celestial Emperor?" The Grand Elder was almost spitting blood with anger, staring at Qin Hao with a hostile expression.
The Celestial Emperor and the Great Emperor Xuan Tian were absolute beliefs of the Xuan Tian Sect, not to be blasphemed by anyone!
Qin Hao's words seemed like a string of nonsense in the eyes of the Grand Elder.
"How can you prove that you have received the inheritance of the Celestial Emperor?" Duan Changsheng stopped the Grand Elder and looked at Qin Hao.
Obviously, he couldn't believe it, but there was also some expectation in his heart.
Mainly because Qin Hao, who couldn't even break through to the Refining Qi realm after ten years of cultivation, suddenly became so strong and even possessed the legendary Infinite Sword Finger, which made Duan Changsheng have to treat him with caution.
"Is the Infinite Sword Finger not enough?" Qin Hao smiled lightly.
"Not enough! You see, although the Infinite Sword Finger has been lost in our Xuan Tian Sect, perhaps others may have obtained the complete technique! To prove that you have received the inheritance of the Celestial Emperor, it's not enough!" Duan Changsheng stared deeply at Qin Hao.
After all, Qin Hao obtaining the inheritance of the Celestial Emperor was too important, even more important than the life and death of the Xuan Tian Sect. Duan Changsheng had to handle it with care.
"Do you want me to prove it? It's easy!" Qin Hao smiled faintly, and then his eyes suddenly became sharp, like two sharp swords piercing through the void, causing electric currents to surge.
Swoosh!
He pointed towards Duan Changsheng, and within the finger, it seemed as if there was chaos light, and faintly, there seemed to be the mysterious scene of gods and demons falling and blood raining from the sky.
And within that mysterious chaos, it seemed that there was a figure permeated with invincible aura, magnificent and immortal.
That finger seemed to traverse endless ages, reaching the pinnacle of sharpness.
"This is... the Finger of the Celestial Emperor?!" Duan Changsheng trembled all over, showing a look of disbelief in his eyes.
He seemed to forget to resist, but with his cultivation, when he felt threatened, he automatically reacted.
A protective true essence appeared around Duan Changsheng, integrating the primordial unity, strong and unmatched.
Buzz!
The protective true essence around Duan Changsheng trembled violently, sending out ripples, and finally shattered.
Even Duan Changsheng couldn't help but change his expression.
It should be noted that Qin Hao only had the cultivation of the Refining Qi realm, separated from him by several major realms, yet Qin Hao was able to break his protective true essence with just one finger. It was simply unbelievable.
Qin Hao's face was slightly pale, with a hint of fatigue between his brows.
"The Finger of the Celestial Emperor? How is this possible?" The Grand Elder was also dumbfounded.
The Infinite Sword Finger, created by the Great Emperor Xuan Tian before he achieved enlightenment, was an unparalleled martial art with unmatched power, containing the Sword Intent of the Infinite, but even the incomplete Infinite Sword Finger could rival top-level martial arts and was treasured as the sect's supreme martial art.
Duan Changsheng and the Grand Elder had both practiced the remnants of the Infinite Sword Finger, so they were naturally very familiar with it.
However, the Infinite Sword Finger originated from the Finger of the Celestial Emperor.
The Great Emperor Xuan Tian was a disciple of the Celestial Emperor. He used the Finger of the Celestial Emperor as the foundation and combined it with his own Sword Intent to finally comprehend the Infinite Sword Finger.
Duan Changsheng and the Grand Elder had only seen a glimpse of the Finger of the Celestial Emperor in ancient texts and had no way to practice this supreme martial art.
But now, Qin Hao displayed the Finger of the Celestial Emperor, and they instantly confirmed the familiar breath of the same lineage, even grander than the Infinite Sword Finger.
This was definitely the Finger of the Celestial Emperor!
"Do you really receive the inheritance of the Celestial Emperor?" Duan Changsheng looked deeply at Qin Hao, his voice trembling.
He had been skeptical before, but seeing Qin Hao display both the Infinite Sword Finger and the Finger of the Celestial Emperor, he was starting to believe.
"Yes! I have received the inheritance of the Celestial Emperor. That's why I possess the Infinite Sword Finger! Moreover, I also know how to repair the Xuan Tian Infinite Array!" Qin Hao said calmly, revealing another bombshell.
"What?!" This time, both Duan Changsheng and the Grand Elder couldn't remain calm anymore, trembling all over, showing an incomparably excited expression in their eyes.
The Xuan Tian Infinite Array was the protective array of the Xuan Tian Sect!
It was said that the Xuan Tian Infinite Array was personally laid out by the Great Emperor Xuan Tian, guarding the Xuan Tian Sect for millions of years. However, over the years, with countless calamities faced by the Xuan Tian Sect, the Xuan Tian Infinite Array had gradually become damaged.
With the decline of the Xuan Tian Sect, they couldn't even repair the Xuan Tian Infinite Array.
The current crisis of the Xuan Tian Sect was precisely because the Xuan Tian Infinite Array had completely lost its effect, leading to the coveting of external enemies.
If the Xuan Tian Infinite Array could be repaired, then the crisis of the Xuan Tian Sect could naturally be resolved.
How could Duan Changsheng and the Grand Elder not be excited?
"Qin Hao, are you sure you can repair the Xuan Tian Infinite Array? If you can, then you will save the entire Xuan Tian Sect!" Duan Changsheng looked at Qin Hao solemnly.
"I can! But my current cultivation level is still too weak. I need the help of the sect to help me improve my cultivation level and repair the Xuantian Wuji Formation!
Qin Hao smiled slightly and revealed his true purpose.
The Great Emperor Xuantian was once his disciple, so Qin Hao was naturally familiar with the Xuantian Endless Formation. Repairing the Xuantian Endless Formation was not difficult in his eyes. Moreover, Qin Hao believed that the Xuantian Endless Formation might not even need repairing; it just lacked someone capable of activating it within the Xuantian Sect.
However, Qin Hao's cultivation was currently too weak. He needed a large amount of resources to enhance his cultivation. Only by offering enough leverage could he make Duan Changsheng believe in him.
After all, in a sense, Qin Hao was not truly a disciple of the Xuantian Sect!
He believed that Duan Changsheng would not refuse this leverage.
"Enhancing cultivation? That might not be achievable in a short time. The Beast Control Sect will launch a major attack in three days!" Duan Changsheng's brow furrowed.
"Exactly! Qin Hao, you have been stuck in the Qi Refinement Realm for ten years. How much progress can you make in just three days? Is it possible that the heavens want to destroy our Xuantian Sect?" The Grand Elder sighed, his expression becoming incredibly aged, with a hint of despair in his eyes.
It was like experiencing immense disappointment after obtaining hope, which struck him deeply.
"Master, as long as I can open up my Dantian and break through to the Divine Sea Realm, I can repair the Xuantian Endless Formation! Three days are enough! But I need three drops of Xuantian Divine Liquid and a large amount of spirit stones!" Qin Hao smiled faintly, his expression very calm.
"Xuantian Divine Liquid? How do you know about Xuantian Divine Liquid?" Duan Changsheng was momentarily puzzled but soon understood.
Since Qin Hao had inherited the legacy of the Great Emperor Xuantian, he naturally knew about Xuantian Divine Liquid.
Xuantian Divine Liquid could be said to be one of the greatest secrets of the Xuantian Sect.
The Xuantian Endless Formation not only served as the defensive formation of the Xuantian Sect but also absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, condensing Xuantian Divine Liquid at its core.
Xuantian Divine Liquid was an unparalleled treasure, containing immense life essence. It could rejuvenate the body, turn flesh into bones, and enhance cultivation. It was incredibly precious.
However, Xuantian Divine Liquid was extremely rare. The Xuantian Endless Formation could only produce one drop per year, and with the decline of the Xuantian Sect, most of the Xuantian Divine Liquid had been used to enhance cultivation, leaving very little in stock.
"Three drops of Xuantian Divine Liquid? Isn't that too much? But you've been stuck in the Qi Refinement Realm for ten years, and neither I nor the Master can find the reason. Are you sure Xuantian Divine Liquid can help you break through?" The Grand Elder felt a pang of reluctance and hesitation.
Qin Hao's status was noble, and his position in the Xuantian Sect was very special.
Both the Grand Elder and Duan Changsheng had investigated Qin Hao's body but couldn't figure out why he couldn't break through to the next realm.
"I'm sure. Xuantian Divine Liquid can help me break through! Master, if you believe in me, give me the Xuantian Divine Liquid, and I will definitely emerge from seclusion within three days!" Qin Hao said earnestly.
"Master, if you consume the Xuantian Divine Liquid, perhaps there is still a chance to fight against Nantian Tian, and maybe you can preserve some of the bloodline of our Xuantian Sect! But if you give everything to Qin Hao..."
"The risk is too great!" The Grand Elder sighed.
After a moment of silence, Duan Changsheng's gaze fell on Qin Hao, sharp as a sword, as if he were scrutinizing something.
But Qin Hao remained calm and composed, waiting for Duan Changsheng to make a decision.
"Alright! Qin Hao, I agree! This is the key to the treasure palace. Inside, there are the last ten drops of Xuantian Divine Liquid of our Xuantian Sect, as well as plenty of spirit stones. I'm hoping my decision is the right one!" Duan Changsheng said seriously, handing over a jade-like key to Qin Hao.
"Master, rest assured. The Xuantian Sect will not perish; it will continue to exist and shine even brighter than a million years ago!" Qin Hao smiled faintly, his expression full of certainty.
"Let's hope so!" Duan Changsheng shook his head. He didn't have much confidence.
"Sigh..."
Seeing Duan Changsheng's decision, the Grand Elder didn't intervene, just sighed deeply.
They had no choice but to believe in Qin Hao.
