Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

"Since you are not willing to let me be your master for the time being, I will not force you to do so."

Zhou Yiqiao looked at the compass in front of him and spoke as if talking to himself.

"But Zhou's trial this time has ended, and I will probably leave this Zixiao Palace soon."

"If you don't want to follow me, you will have to stay in this space and spend endless years alone."

Zhou Yiqiao tried to persuade the man with both reason and emotion, and after he finished speaking, he stared at Luo Pan, observing his reaction.

The light of the compass flickered slightly, and it was obvious that it had wavered.

Zhou Yiqiao struck while the iron was hot and continued to persuade him.

"Our meeting is fate."

"I can feel your strength, and you can sense my potential. We can become the best partners."

"You are guarding here alone, unaware of the passage of time, but I can take you to see a wider world and experience more adventures."

"Your power will also show its true value in my hands."

His voice was like a devil's voice, penetrating into Luo Pan's consciousness.

I saw the compass light flickering, as if it was making some difficult decision.

"call!"

After a long time, the light suddenly dimmed, and the compass quietly floated in front of Zhou Yiqiao, expressing its attitude.

Zhou Yiqiao was stunned for a moment, then a look of relief appeared on his face. He stretched out his right hand and gently squeezed it. The compass seemed to have spiritual power and fell obediently into his palm.

"Very good, you won't regret your decision today."

After saying a few words of comfort, Zhou Yiqiao put the compass into his storage bag, stood up, and walked along the passage behind the altar, leaving the Zixiao Palace that had trapped him for a hundred years.

Outside the Zixiao Palace, the scene remained unchanged. Zhou Yiqiao stopped in front of the Zixiao Palace, staring around, trying to figure out how to leave the Xuantian Secret Realm.

Although judging by the current situation, he still has enough time to explore the secret realm.

But since the rule of Xuantian Secret Realm is that one person can only choose one opportunity at a time, he has no intention of greedily obtaining more treasures.

After all, this secret realm ultimately belongs to Daxuantian. It is entirely possible that the Immortal Emperor Luo Fengtian has mastered some means to see through the words and actions of all those who enter the secret realm.

There was no need for him to take such a big risk and offend the Lord of the Great Xuantian, the most powerful person at the top of the Tianchen Realm, just for the sake of temporary benefits.

Zhou Yiqiao knew clearly in his heart that no treasure in the Xuantian Secret Realm was as valuable as Luo Fengtian’s favor.

After figuring out the key, Zhou Yiqiao no longer worried about any opportunities in the Xuantian Secret Realm. Instead, he kept in mind the agreement with Senior Wang of the Tijian Sect and used the remaining time to completely draw a map of the surrounding area.

As a map to be handed over to Li Mubai, Zhou Yiqiao can be said to be very concerned about it.

He specially marked out the dangerous places, dangerous areas and forbidden areas that he could explore, so that if Li Mubai entered this world, he could avoid these deadly traps and reduce unnecessary losses.

In addition, he even recorded in detail some special landforms, hidden spiritual veins and places where treasures might be hidden, so that Li Mubai would not overlook these things when searching for treasures, thus causing the treasure to pass by.

After doing all this, Zhou Yiqiao chose a quieter place, sat cross-legged to practice, and patiently waited for the secret realm to end.

After about three years of seclusion, a roaring sound was heard in the secret space.

Then, the originally clear blue sky suddenly shattered, revealing a gray and silent sky.

In the center of the sky, a light purple light descended from the sky and landed on Zhou Yiqiao.

The next second, Zhou Yiqiao felt a darkness before his eyes, and his whole body was wrapped in the purple light and left the Xuantian Secret Realm.

......

Zhou Yiqiao opened his eyes and what came into view was a familiar square.

More than a hundred young talents from Daxuantian are gathered here.

Everyone was standing or sitting, with different expressions on their faces, some were excited, some were frustrated, and some looked tired.

Obviously, they were all practitioners who had just come out of the Xuantian Secret Realm.

"Master Zhou!"

A familiar voice interrupted Zhou Yiqiao's thoughts. He looked up and saw Luo Lishang standing not far away, waving at him from afar.

"your Highness."

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao went up to him with a smile.

"Looking at Mr. Zhou's expression, I believe he must have gained a lot in the secret realm."

Luo Lishang's eyebrows were curved, and there was a hint of playfulness in his tone, as if he was full of curiosity about Zhou Yiqiao's journey to the secret realm.

Zhou Yiqiao smiled slightly and nodded. Although he did not answer, he did not deny it either.

"Did your highness, the princess, have any adventures in the secret realm?"

The two of them exchanged a few brief greetings and then turned their attention to the other Great Xuantian monks who were participating in the Xuantian Secret Realm in the square.

“Thousands of people entered the secret realm when it was opened. Now there are only a hundred monks left standing in the square. Only one in ten survived. It is really dangerous.”

Zhou Yiqiao sighed.

You should know that the strength of these cultivators who are able to obtain the qualifications to enter the Xuantian Secret Realm is the top group in the current Great Xuantian. Even so, they have fallen from the ninth level. It can be seen that the challenges and dangers in the secret realm are far beyond the imagination of the outside world.

"Everyone has their own destiny. When they accepted the invitation and decided to enter the Xuantian Secret Realm, they should have considered the possible risks."

Luo Lishang echoed softly, and then turned the topic to something he was more concerned about.

"Mr. Zhou, what are your plans after this experience?"

Zhou Yiqiao came back to his senses, thought of the agreement he made with "Zhao Zhen" in the secret realm, and expressed his intentions truthfully.

"After Zhou finishes his training in Daxuantian, he will go back to Yanzhou to visit his old friends."

Luo Lishang was stunned when he heard this. He never expected Zhou Yiqiao to give such an answer.

"Master Zhou, you know that the laws of the world in Yanzhou are fragile. Anyone who wants to enter Yanzhou needs to suppress his cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage."

Zhou Yiqiao chuckled and nodded slightly.

"Your Highness should have investigated Zhou's whereabouts over the years. You should know that Zhou has returned to Yanzhou in recent years, so he naturally knows this restriction."

Luo Lishang nodded. He and Zhou Yiqiao became friends due to some misunderstandings back then, so he naturally found out that Zhou Yiqiao had returned to Yanzhou.

"Since Master Zhou has already made a plan, I won't ask any more questions."

The two exchanged a few more words, and the atmosphere in the square suddenly changed.

A powerful pressure descended from the sky, making everyone present feel an indescribable sense of oppression.

Zhou Yiqiao and Luo Lishang looked up at the same time, and saw a figure slowly descending from the sky. It was a middle-aged man in a golden robe. He had a handsome face, deep eyes, and exuded an awe-inspiring aura.

"Your Majesty the Immortal Emperor."

Someone exclaimed in a low voice, recognizing the identity of the middle-aged man.

Everyone bowed down and called him the Immortal Emperor.

"Congratulations, everyone, for successfully completing this trial mission."

"Everyone's chance is a secret that determines their own life and death. I will not ask about your gains. I only hope that you can make good use of it, make yourself stronger, and serve Daxuantian!"

The Immortal Emperor's voice echoed over the square, making everyone feel excited.

"Well, I will stop wasting your time. A banquet has been set up in the Immortal Emperor Palace. Please follow me and celebrate your success in the trial!"

As the Immortal Emperor finished speaking, the many practitioners who had been suppressing their emotions suddenly cheered.

Everyone followed Zhou Yiqiao and Luo Lishang tacitly and rushed towards the Immortal Emperor City.

There weren't too many formalities at the celebration banquet. People just ate, drank and had fun for half a day, and the banquet ended hastily.

Zhou Yiqiao said goodbye to Luo Lishang and planned to return to his residence to pack up before setting off for Longshou Island.

"You're in such a hurry. Where are you going?"

When he reached a street corner, Zhou Yiqiao suddenly heard a lazy voice coming from behind him.

He turned his head and saw a man in a black hood who had stood on the rockery behind him at some point.

"I've met senior!"

Seeing such a classic outfit, Zhou Yiqiao naturally recognized it at the first moment.

The mysterious man instantly appeared in front of Zhou Yiqiao, raised his hand and patted Zhou Yiqiao on the shoulder. The next moment, he took Zhou Yiqiao back to his residence.

"I'm leaving."

The mysterious man's voice was still lazy, without much emotion.

"Senior is leaving?"

Zhou Yiqiao was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the man in black in front of him with some disbelief.

Although he had met this senior many times, he was still unclear about his specific identity.

When they recognized each other in Daxuantian this time, he thought that the other party was a guest official of Daxuantian, but he didn't expect that his guess was wrong.

The mysterious man nodded slightly but said nothing.

Zhou Yiqiao became even more confused and asked.

"Where are you going, Senior?"

Seeing Zhou Yiqiao so worried, the mysterious man raised his head, revealing a pair of deep eyes under the mask.

"You are just a mere Void Refining cultivator, do you really want to know my whereabouts?"

Zhou Yiqiao understood the other party's implication and looked a little embarrassed.

"younger generation......"

The mysterious man did not
