Qin Cheng was shocked. At a glance, all kinds of jade slips of martial arts, treasures of immortal weapons, elixirs, and many rare things that he could not name were covered almost everywhere he looked.

The quantity can no longer be described as a treasure trove, it is simply like a huge treasure mountain.

And when I scanned those immortal weapons casually, every one of them must be of a higher grade than my own fairy sword, at least a third-grade or higher fairy sword, a weapon of the venerable.

Qin Cheng can be sure that none of these items have deteriorated or been damaged due to the passage of time.

They are extremely well preserved, and each one is an ancient object, a treasure of the Eternal Saint Sect.

"Senior, what is this?"

Qin Cheng took a deep breath and had a vague suspicion in his mind, but he still asked.

"This is the treasure of the ladder reward. One or more of them will belong to you. It's up to you to choose." The old man said.

"Isn't it designated by senior?" Qin Cheng asked curiously.

He remembered, however, that the final rewards obtained by the monks who climbed the ladder to heaven were directly awarded by the divine light, and the monks had no choice.

"If you can reach the top of the ladder, you will naturally be treated differently from others. Selecting treasures is just one of them." The old man said.

"Like these people who climb the ladder, I will allocate treasures according to their characteristics or my own preferences, but you are different, so the selection method is also different."

The old man's natural words made Qin Cheng frown slightly.

"You're confused about this."

The old man caught Qin Cheng's expression.

"Actually, you have been confused since you met me. It doesn't matter. If you don't understand anything, you can tell me and I will answer it for you." The old man smiled.

"Senior, this junior does have some doubts about the ladder and the rewards."

Qin Cheng didn't hide anything and spoke directly.

Because these things have been in Qin Cheng's heart for a while, and if he doesn't figure them out, he really won't be able to settle down.

Before, he had always thought that the Holy Sect Ladder was an ownerless thing, or that it only operated according to some instinctive rules.

Therefore, Qin Cheng regarded the ladder to heaven as a trial to obtain opportunities, just like a killing battlefield.

But until he met the old man and confirmed that the old man was very intelligent, Qin Cheng's doubts became more and more intense.

Since the old man knew that the Holy Sect had been destroyed, he also knew that they were just impostors.

Why should we give treasures to everyone, why should we watch them destroy the mansions, houses and various buildings belonging to the Holy Sect, and take away the treasures of the Holy Sect.

In the eyes of the old man, don't everyone look like robbers?

Therefore, Qin Cheng didn't understand why the old man wanted to give corresponding rewards to the monks who climbed up the ladder, and worked hard to cultivate monks who did not belong to the Holy Sect. What was his purpose.

"Actually, seniors also know that the Holy Sect has been destroyed. We are all future generations of monks, so why do we have to do all this."

Qin Cheng said directly what was on his mind.

The old man was silent when he heard this, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

He thought that Qin Cheng's doubts might be because of himself, the ladder, or about rewards.

But it was unexpected that Qin Cheng thought so deeply.

This junior seemed not as simple as he thought. The way he looked at things even reminded the old man of the geniuses he had witnessed in ancient times.

"You want to know why I am helping you people who do not belong to the Yongji Holy Sect, and are even taking away the treasures and inheritance that belong to the Yongji Holy Sect."

The old man smiled, shook his head, and looked down with a sigh.

"I can answer this question for you."

He waved his hand, and the clouds and mist beneath his feet suddenly dispersed.

Qin Cheng also followed the old man's gaze, and when the clouds and mist disappeared, he realized that his current location was above the sky.

There is a layer of transparent breath barrier under their feet. Not far below the two of them, there is the majestic and magnificent Holy Mountain, as well as the golden shining ladder slanting towards the sky. The people below are waiting for the ladder to dissipate, and even pieces of the Holy Mountain.

of ruins.

"Junior, what do you think of the Yongji Holy Sect?" the old man said.

"The peaks are majestic and the scenery is beautiful. In ancient times, this place must have had a myriad of things and was the envy of many monks." Qin Cheng thought for a while and said truthfully.

"Yes, the Holy Sect has been destroyed. Although there are still things left, it is still not the same as before." The old man nodded.

"Even after the ancient era ends, the Holy Sect will never be able to return to its former glory. People have their ups and downs, the sky has the sun and the moon, and the sect also has its day of destruction."

"Nothing can be immortal. Although the Holy Sect is destroyed, the monks are destroyed, and the buildings are reduced to ruins, there are some things that will never be destroyed. Even the way of heaven cannot be destroyed. Do you know what they are."

The old man looked deeply at Qin Cheng.

"It's something left for us." Qin Cheng was a little surprised.

"Yes, the Yongji Holy Sect can be destroyed, but the Holy Sect's will and inheritance will never be destroyed!"

When the old man spoke, his beard and hair were spread out, and his eyes were filled with great pride.

The sound he spat out was like the shaking of mountains and seas, setting off huge waves in Qin Cheng's heart.

"This is the meaning of my existence, and this is also the meaning of the existence of the ladder and ruins. Now, Qin Cheng, you understand."

Qin Cheng's body trembled, he looked at the old man complicatedly, and then bowed again.

This time, Qin Cheng sincerely regarded the old man as his admired senior, not just out of politeness.

The monks will disappear, the treasures will be damaged and decayed, and even a certain era will be returned to the past.

But there will always be something left behind, and what is left behind is not only the magic and mental skills, but also the will contained in them.

The old man told Qin Cheng that he didn't care what they took away, because what they took away was only the memory of the past, but what they brought with them was inheritance.

"The Yongji Holy Sect pursues the ultimate way, but in all things, the opportunity is bound to run out early. Provoking the law of heaven, causing disasters and destroying the sect is only one of the reasons. Trying to change the original life and death of this world, and the rules of all things, is the ultimate

The reason for the destruction." The old man said with emotion.

"Junior, what I hope you take away is the will of the Yongji Holy Sect to pursue the ultimate goal, but you must not imitate the Holy Sect and know how to choose."

Qin Cheng looked thoughtful. Although he understood what the old man said, he still didn't understand it.

"Okay, I know you may not understand the profound meaning for the time being, but you just need to remember it. Sooner or later you will understand what I mean."

When the old man saw Qin Cheng's reaction, he didn't want to dwell too much on this matter.

Qin Cheng nodded and remembered these words.

The old man waved his hand and brought the topic back to the ladder rewards.

"I have already told you what you want to know. Now, it's your turn to choose what you want."

The old man slowly flew up and reached out his hand to hold it up.

Qin Cheng was also wrapped in a spiritual light and flew to the old man's side.
