Chapter 33: Confusion

"I wonder why Senior Brother has summoned me?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingxi's face also showed confusion.

Since Zhang Qingyuan passed down the technique for eternal life, she had clearly felt that Zhang Qingyuan had changed.

He had become completely different from before.

This feeling left Mu Qingxi at a loss for words.

Although Zhang Qingyuan was still the same genius, she felt a strong sense of unfamiliarity.

Just by standing there, he gave off a feeling of not belonging to this world.

In the past, Mu Qingxi would have been able to guess Zhang Qingyuan's thoughts with relative ease.

But now, she felt an infinite sense of unfamiliarity towards the current Zhang Qingyuan.

Before she could speculate further, a clear voice rang out from the purple-gold pillar.

"The master is waiting on the top floor."

As soon as the voice fell, the scarlet gate of the Dao Treasury Pavilion burst open.

The Dao Treasury Pavilion no longer had the appearance of being in ruins.

The bookshelves that held the jade scrolls were neatly arranged in the pavilion, but the shelves were empty, giving off a sense of monotony.

With the opening of the gate, Mu Qingxi stepped into the pavilion.

Thud, thud, thud!

The sound of footsteps echoed continuously in the Dao Treasury Pavilion, intensifying Mu Qingxi's doubts.

She quickly arrived at the top floor of the Dao Treasury Pavilion.

The top floor of the Dao Treasury Pavilion was a pavilion situated above the sea of clouds. Although Mount Zhufeng was not the main peak of the Qingxiao Sect, it was the highest one.

This pavilion was the highest point of the Qingxiao Sect, and standing on it, one could see the magnificent scenery of the sea of clouds day and night.

At this moment, Zhang Qingyuan, dressed in a blue robe, had his back facing Mu Qingxi. The robe on his body trembled slightly in the breeze, and his eyes were deep and far-reaching.

Seeing Zhang Qingyuan in this state, Mu Qingxi suddenly felt an inexplicable increase in pressure.

"You've come."

Zhang Qingyuan's voice, as clear as a mountain spring, entered her ears.

Although his voice sounded pleasant, it carried a hint of coldness.

Mu Qingxi stopped nine feet behind Zhang Qingyuan.

Sensing the movement behind him, Zhang Qingyuan turned slightly.

Seeing Zhang Qingyuan's face at this moment, Mu Qingxi couldn't help but tremble in her heart.

After Zhang Qingyuan woke up, he gave her a strong sense of unfamiliarity.

But now, there was something indescribable and inexplicable in Zhang Qingyuan's eyes!

She could sense that something seemed to be brewing in Zhang Qingyuan's heart.

"Senior Brother, may I ask why you have summoned us here this time?"

Mu Qingxi took a step forward and asked.

Zhang Qingyuan heard Mu Qingxi's words but did not answer directly. Instead, he said, "Mu Qingxi, I have always had a doubt in my heart."

"Senior Brother?" A hint of confusion appeared in Mu Qingxi's eyes.

"I have always been curious about what supports you in staying in Qingxiao Sect during this era of decline."

At this moment, Zhang Qingyuan looked at Mu Qingxi and said lightly.

Upon hearing this, a trace of astonishment appeared on Mu Qingxi's face.

What supports her in staying in Qingxiao Sect?

"Senior Brother, why are you asking such a question? I have always believed that you can restore the brilliance of the immortal path..." Mu Qingxi said anxiously.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qingyuan couldn't help but smile and shook his head, interrupting Mu Qingxi's words, "You have to think carefully, do you believe in me? Or do you believe in the immortal path?"

With these words, Mu Qingxi fell into silence.

A rare sense of confusion appeared in Mu Qingxi's eyes.

After the era of decline, perhaps what supports everyone's hope is Zhang Qingyuan!

But when Zhang Qingyuan fell from the altar, what continues to support them, whether it is the immortal path or something else, has long become blurred.

In the first few years of the era of decline, there were still hundreds of disciples in Qingxiao Sect who persisted, but ten years later, everyone became desperate.

It was not just despair towards Zhang Qingyuan, but more towards the immortal path that had already entered the era of decline.

And the thought that supports her staying in Qingxiao Sect has also become unclear.

If forced to say, it is probably because Qingxiao Sect represents her last hope for the immortal path!

Mu Qingxi and the others wanted to find a reason from their hearts, but in the end, all that was left was confusion.

Just like when Mu Qingxi asked Zhang Qingyuan what to do next.

Looking back, she was also lost.

At this moment, Zhang Qingyuan turned around and faced Mu Qingxi, saying, "Are you all lost?"

Mu Qingxi remained silent, tacitly agreeing with Zhang Qingyuan's words.

Seeing Mu Qingxi's reaction, Zhang Qingyuan's gaze became even deeper.

"The immortal path in Yuanzhou is flourishing, countless cultivation geniuses emerge endlessly. Countless cultivators watch this world change over the vast land."

"But have you noticed... that cultivators have not changed since ancient times? No matter how talented, fortunate, or well-connected, they will eventually follow the same path of cultivation."

"The spiritual energy may have changed slightly, but the peak of the immortal path has already been shattered."

"In the endless years, cultivators have made no progress!"

"What causes the era of decline is not the spiritual energy, but the confusion in our hearts!"

Zhang Qingyuan looked at the surging clouds in the sky and said.

"Ah!" Mu Qingxi's heart trembled.

Before Mu Qingxi could react further, Zhang Qingyuan continued to say something that was like a bolt from the blue for cultivators at this time.

"I have deciphered the secret of immortality!"
