Emperor of Nine Suns

Chu Chen couldn't help but sigh.

The sect's book tower that appears in front of us is about a hundred feet high, divided into nine floors, and covers an area of ​​about dozens of acres.

From the outside, this book tower looks very grand and majestic, but it is just too... too dilapidated.

It's like he will fall down at any time!

The magnificent blue-black stone pagoda is actually covered with countless cracks of different shapes.

Some cracks look like they were struck by swords, some cracks look like they were forcibly scratched out by the claws of some giant beasts, and some cracks look like they were cracked open by someone using huge magic power...

Thick, long, or broken cracks spread from the foundation to the top of the tower. It looked like it had been abandoned for a long time and had never been repaired.

If such a tower were seen by mortals in the world, they would probably be regarded as a place where lonely ghosts live, and many legends of ghosts and gods would be derived from it.

Although the tower is in a dilapidated state, the environment around the tower is very clean. It seems that someone comes here to clean it every day. To describe it as spotless is not an exaggeration.

What surprised Chu Chen the most was that there was a huge totem sculpture on the dilapidated tower. The totem was mottled and blurred due to its age, making it difficult to see clearly.

However, if you look carefully at its outline, you can see that it is actually a golden-winged roc with its head held high and its roaring! !

In fact, the totem of the golden-winged roc is extremely vivid. Even though it is now very mottled, you can vaguely feel an astonishing unruly air coming towards you.

A huge golden figure can be seen in the dark piercing the sky, as if even the heaven and earth cannot restrain its figure, it will transcend the entire universe! !

This totem... doesn't seem to have been drawn casually!

The person who made this totem must have seen the true form of the golden-winged roc, so he was able to draw it so vividly...

So, this book tower should have some connection with the Golden-winged Dapeng...

A thought came to mind, and Chu Chen walked directly towards the inside of the book tower.

At this time, there were two disciples cleaning in front of the book tower door.

After seeing Chu Chen, she just glanced at him casually, not caring who this guy was.

Stepping into the main entrance hall of the book tower, a vicissitudes of history and ancient atmosphere hit your face.

At a glance, the entire book tower is densely packed with bookshelves several feet high. Those bookshelves are actually made of black stone, giving them a very calm and heavy feeling.

On the densely packed black stone bookshelf, ancient books of various colors are lined up one after another, making the reader dazzled.

There are really too many books. There are volumes of paper books, volumes of ancient sheepskin books, rows of bamboo slips, and pieces of warm stone and jade slips.

Some books are really old, and even the books themselves have obvious signs of sanding, as if they will completely turn to dust when touched.

Some books are directly carved from huge stones. The stones are covered with densely packed ancient characters, exuding a mottled ancient atmosphere.

There was even a huge bookshelf filled with pages of ancient metal books engraved on copper paper, exuding strong spiritual pressure.

Each bronze book is like a super strong person practicing silently, and it seems that he can pounce out at any time.

And among the many tall and magnificent bookshelves, in the center of the entire hall, a thick black stone seat stands tall.

The strange thing is that the rest of the book tower has been cleaned spotlessly, but the black stone base is covered with dust, and it seems that no one has cleaned it.

Frowning, Chu Chen walked to the stone seat and waved his sleeves. A majestic wave of air burst out and swept away the dust on the stone seat.

"Oh...what are you doing?"

Chu Chen was about to sit down when he saw a disciple who was cleaning his eyes twitching and frowning at him.

Chu Chen smiled slightly, "When you are tired, of course you should sit down and rest. This book tower is so big, but there is only such a place to sit, so I can only sit on it."

"This seat is not for just anyone."

The middle-aged disciple who was cleaning raised his eyelids, and his tone was full of warning, "Young people, don't take it for granted. If you want to sit in this seat, you must be ready to teach the disciples of this peak and resolve their doubts at any time."

"Really? I'll sit down first and then talk."

Chu Chen nodded and sat down directly.

"You...are you the new senior brother of this peak, Chu Chen?"

The middle-aged cleaning disciple was not slow to respond. Looking at Chu Chen's detached look, he seemed to have thought of something and shouted in surprise.

Chu Chen nodded lightly, his expression very calm, but the middle-aged cleaning disciple looked at him carefully, sighed in disappointment, and shook his head.

To be honest, this young man who looked to be less than twenty years old and had an ordinary face had absolutely no so-called leadership qualities.

Let such a person be the senior brother... Alas, Duxu Peak's talent has withered to this extent...

"Elder brother has returned!"

Amid an exclamation that was neither gentle nor serious, several new disciples walked into the main hall of the book tower with surprised expressions on their faces and looked at Chu Chen, who was sitting upright on the black stone seat.

Behind them, new disciples and old disciples from Duxu Peak also came in one after another to participate in the senior brother's teaching courses that Duxu Peak had not had for a long time.

As more and more people gathered, chattering began to sound in the crowd.

Obviously, many people are curious about this young senior brother.

You must know that there has not been a senior brother in Duxu Peak for a long, long time. On the one hand, no one has this courage, and on the other hand, no one has this strength.

"Is this our senior brother? Is he the one who smashed the ancient demon tree halfway up the mountain?"

"It must be him. I didn't expect that someone so young could be a senior brother? Could it be that he took advantage of the old demon tree to reach its limit, so he found the opportunity to use brute force to luckily give it to him? Get rid of it!"

"How much can such a little kid know? And I heard that he seemed to have used certain righteous techniques to defeat the ancient demon tree. Can such a person really understand the world of our demon sect?"

No matter how everyone talks, Chu Chen remains as still as a pine tree on the black stone chair.

Seeing his indifferent appearance, all the younger brothers shook their heads.

"Hey, this young man probably only knows that the name of Senior Brother sounds nice. How could he know that this Senior Brother is not that easy to be called!"

"With such a senior brother, we will have no future after crossing Xu Peak..."
