Starting from helping someone rob a wedding, he was forced to hide in the Sunset Sect

After Xu Yeyu broke through the Spirit Building Realm, he spent two months to complete the second half of the Heavenly Sword Art.

He left the Sunset Sect and flew towards the entrance of the secret realm of Tianlai Lake on his sword.

The Sunset Sect was not far from the entrance to the secret realm of Tianlai Lake, and Xu Yeyu reached his destination in just two hours.

It is surrounded by towering cliffs, mossy green trees and towering ancient trees.

Xu Yeyu stood in the middle of the open space, and an ancient gray stone door appeared before him.

Originally, opening the entrance to the secret realm required the cooperation of two Spirit Building Realm monks, and it had to be opened at a specific time.

But Xu Yeyu has refined the reverse scale, so he is the master of half of the secret realm and can open the entrance at any time.

Xu Yeyu pushed open the door, and an ancient and silent atmosphere surged out, spreading and enveloping the entire open space.

He stepped inside, and the lime door slowly closed and then disappeared.

Xu Yeyu came to the Mingyuan Valley.

The valley was filled with a thin black fog, and the black air was rolling like a tide.

The black air exudes an indescribable sense of oppression.

Xu Yeyu stepped into the valley, his eyes falling on a huge black boulder in the center.

The ground around the stone has become extremely desolate due to years of erosion by black air.

There is not a blade of grass growing, not even a hint of green remains.

Xu Yeyu once promised the old man that when he was able to destroy the stone, he would return here and fulfill that promise.

Xu Yeyu took out the magic sword from his waist, and a sword light appeared in the valley. Wherever the sword light passed, the black air turned invisible in an instant.

The black fog retreated quickly like a tide, turning into nothingness, leaving behind a clear area.

The sword light slashed towards the boulder, making a dull impact sound. The stone vibrated violently and the cracks on the surface expanded into deep grooves.

The cracks on the surface expanded rapidly, and fragments flew everywhere.

The fragments fell from a great height, hitting the surrounding ground and splashing up a cloud of dust.

Every piece of rubble that fell was accompanied by a roar that shook the entire valley.

Xu Yeyu swung his sword again, and a few sword lights fell. The boulder was split into pieces, and the black air covering the valley gradually dissipated.

After resolving the matter in the Mingyuan Valley, Xu Yeyu flew to the location of the Fusang tree on his sword.

A woman in green thin clothes appeared beside the hibiscus tree.

The woman's eyes were full of confusion. She asked curiously, "It's not time for the secret realm to open yet. How did you get in?"

"The owner of the secret realm gave me something, so I can enter and exit the secret realm of Tianlai Lake at any time." Xu Yeyu replied.

Xu Yeyu didn't say what it was, but the woman had already guessed what it was.

The master gave Xu Yeyu the Dragon Clan's Reverse Scale, allowing him to enter and exit the secret realm of Tianlai Lake at any time.

"Were you the one who dispelled the black air from the Nether Abyss Valley just now?" the woman asked.

Xu Yeyu nodded slightly and replied, "I promised the senior that when I am able to resolve the black energy in the Dark Abyss Valley in the future, I will come back to help him destroy the stone."

The woman was silent for a long time. The cultivator standing in front of her was now at a higher level than her.

When Xu Yeyu first came to the secret realm of Tianlai Lake, he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage.

After just a few years, he had broken through to the Spirit Building Realm.

"Over the years, the Fusang tree has been suppressing the black energy in the Dark Abyss Valley, and its vitality has been damaged."

The woman paused for a moment and continued, "If you hadn't given me two petals, the hibiscus tree might have collapsed. Now that the black energy is gone, the hibiscus tree can continue to grow. Thank you for your help."

Xu Yeyu smiled and said, "You're welcome. The seeds you gave me have already taken root and sprouted. Now they are only slightly shorter than the hibiscus tree in the secret realm."

The woman nodded slightly, she knew about this.

The seeds she gave to Xu Yeyu, every time the hibiscus tree grows, it will give back to her.

"I have something for you."

The woman stretched out her slender hand, and a green light emerged from the hibiscus tree, gradually gathering into a small bead.

"This is one of the treasures of the secret realm of Tianlai Lake, called the Wind-Fixing Pearl."

Xu Yeyu took the Wind-Fixing Pearl and asked, "You gave me the treasure of the secret realm, what about the secret realm?"

The most important thing in the secret realm is the treasure. If the treasure is taken away, the secret realm will collapse.

"This is just one of the treasures of the Lake of Heaven. Even if you take it away, the secret realm will not collapse." The woman replied.

Xu Yeyu was slightly stunned. It was the first time he heard that there was more than one treasure in the secret realm.

"Then I'll accept it."

He put the Wind-Fixing Bead into the storage ring and continued, "Have any demon cultivators entered the secret realm in the past few years?"

The evil cultivators of the Blood Moon Sect once entered the secret realm of Tianlai Lake and wanted to take away the branches of the Hibiscus tree.

They also awakened the Dragonborn.

The Sunset Sect is still considering whether to allow disciples to come here for training when the secret realm opens next time.

After all, the magic cultivators of the Blood Moon Sect know other ways to enter the secret realm.

The woman shook her head and said, "No demon cultivator has entered the secret realm in the past few years."

......

......

Xu Yeyu bid farewell to the guardian of the Fusang tree, flew back to the Sunset Sect on his sword, and came to an attic.

The Sunset Sect built this attic for the two of them. After all, they are now outer sect elders, and it is not appropriate for them to live with outer sect disciples.

Xu Yeyu and Xia Xiaomo now live together in the attic.

Xia Xiaomo looked at Xu Yeyu and said, "Have you dealt with everything?"

Xu Yeyu nodded slightly and said, "I have chopped the stone of Tianlai Lake into pieces."

"Then let's go tell Elder He now and then leave the sect." Xia Xiaomo said.

The two agreed that after Xu Yeyu finished practicing the second half of the Heavenly Sword Art and resolved the black air in the secret realm of Tianlai Lake, he would leave the sect and go to the imperial city.

Xu Yeyu and Xia Xiaomo left the attic and came to the steward's hall.

He Nianyao was sorting out some affairs. When she saw the two people come in, she raised her head slightly.

"Is there anything wrong?" He Nian Yao asked.

"Elder He, we are going to the imperial city. It may take some time. We don't know when we will be back. I came to tell you." Xu Yeyu said.

He Nianyao nodded and said, "I understand. You guys go ahead."

The sect has no other matters that need their attention now. After all, the two have just been appointed as outer sect elders and have not yet been assigned any specific tasks.

"Next time if you have to leave the sect for something, just send a disciple to convey the message. You don't have to come here in person." He Nian Yao said.

For outer disciples, they only need to register at the stewardship hall if they have been away from the sect for more than half a year.

Xu Yeyu and Xia Xiaomo were no longer outer disciples, so they did not need to register formally, just a simple notification would suffice.

He Nianyao was silent for a moment, then asked out of curiosity: "What are you doing in the Imperial City?"

The imperial city is in Zhongzhou, and the Sunset Sect is in Xiyuzhou, which is a long way away.

Unless there is something special, I probably won’t go to the imperial city.

"The emperor is looking for us." Xu Yeyu replied.

After the Immortal Gate Conference ended, Zhao Beijun asked the two to break through to the fifth level and then come to see him.
