Above the source of Tao

Not long after, the crane brought Zhao Xian and four others to the place where the secret realm was opened.

"There are a lot of people here." The eldest brother looked at the crowd below. After the crane landed smoothly, five people jumped off the crane's back.

"The waste and the waste's disciples are here."

A discordant voice came from not far away. Yun Changan turned around and saw an elder wearing a purple plain robe, with his arms crossed over his chest, speaking to Zhao Xian with a disgusted expression. Behind the elder stood several disciples, who also looked at Yun Changan and others with disdain.

"Heng Shu, do you still want to be beaten and lie on the bed for another month?"

The elder's name was Heng Shu. He was the master of the inner sect's Changyou Mountain Peak. He was also the one who wanted to cancel the outer sect disciples' entry into the secret realm some time ago. He was beaten by Zhao Xian and could not get out of bed for a month.

"Just wait, after entering the secret realm, it remains to be seen whether your disciples can come out alive."

"Elder Heng, please don't worry about whether my disciple can get out of that secret realm."

Heng Shu was so angry at Zhao Xian that he was speechless. He turned around and left, looking for a place to wait for the secret realm to open.

Not long after, the sect leader, Master Yihong, walked out from behind the crowd.

"I've met the leader."

Everyone bowed with both hands, bent their waists and spoke in unison.

A path was made through the crowd, and the head of the sect walked to the front of the secret realm and said, "No need to be polite."

At this time, Yun Chang'an looked up and saw the true face of Master Yihong. He had an immortal appearance and was dressed in white. His clothes fluttered in the air with the wind, but he couldn't tell his cultivation level clearly. It seemed that Yun Chang'an dared not look directly at him, as if if he only took one look, his mind would be pierced by thousands of swords and he would be in great pain.

Strong cultivation and powerful aura, this is Yun Changan's most intuitive evaluation of the headmaster.

Then, Yun Changan saw a woman standing next to the headmaster. She was about his age. He felt like he had seen her somewhere before. However, Yun Changan spent a long time trying to figure out where he had seen her.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. It must be an illusion."

Yun Chang'an no longer looked at the sect leader, Master Yihong.

"Brother Changan is here too."

The girl next to the master, Master Yihong, is none other than Lin Yuaner. After entering the inner world, she was accepted as the master's last disciple and taught by the master himself because of the special quality of her bones and her outstanding talent.

After being accepted as a disciple by Master Yihong, Lin Yuaner's strength has been increasing day by day. Now, before the start of the secret realm of ascending the tower, she has been pestering her master to come to this secret realm. The master is also well aware of the dangers of the secret realm, but he cannot resist his only disciple and agrees to her request.

Following the head master to this secret realm, she saw Yun Changan at a glance, but Yun Changan just glanced here and didn't look at her again, which made Lin Yuan'er feel lost.

"He doesn't seem to remember me..."

At this time, Yun Chang'an was discussing with his senior brother and others about what to do after entering the secret realm.

"There are dangers lurking everywhere in that secret realm. After entering, we will be teleported to different locations, so we must take this communication jade slip."

As he spoke, Zhao Xian took out three jade slips from his pocket. He could use these jade slips by injecting his spiritual power into them.

Yun Chang'an and the others put away the jade slip, and took out the secret map given by Zhao Xian and started to look through it. At this time, he noticed the location of Minglin Castle. Just as Zhao Xian said, Minglin Castle was in the center of a deep forest.

Zhao Xian saw Yun Changan's expression and said, "Boy, don't feel too burdened. You don't have to take this Netherworld Flower."

In order to reassure Yun Changan, Zhao Xian spoke with a nonchalant look on his face.

"Don't worry, Elder Zhao Xian. I will go here. As for whether it will succeed, I don't know. Anyway, I will do my best."

Although Yun Chang'an told Zhao Xian that he would try his best, he also knew that he had to get the Netherworld Flower.

The map also clearly marks the dangers encountered in the secret realm.

Not long after, the head of the sect shouted, "The time has come. The 114th head of the Shangyang Sect, Yihong, respectfully invites the ancestor to open the secret realm of the tower."

A beam of colorful light descended from the clouds in the sky and landed directly on a stone tablet in the distance. The stone tablet was engraved with the words "Climb the Tower". When the beam of colorful light slowly sank into the stone tablet, the stone tablet suddenly broke into four pieces and stood in four directions. After a while, a huge platform rose from the space where the four pieces of stone were located. On the platform, there was a pattern of a person and a sun. A silver screen appeared in the center of the platform, and an unknown liquid like water was flowing on the screen.

"All disciples who are participating in the secret realm, hold on to the jade slips in your hands. If you encounter danger, crush the jade slips in your hands and you will be teleported out. Everyone, get on the platform."

When the headmaster finished saying this, some people had already started to go up to the platform, head to the screen, and teleport in.

"If you encounter those three useless disciples in the secret realm, don't hold back."

Heng Shu spoke to several disciples in front of him, and one of the disciples felt that it was inappropriate. There were rules in the sect that disciples were not allowed to fight privately.

"Look at your lack of ability. Who would know it was us who did it in the secret realm? If the elders ask about the blame, just say we were killed by the Yuan Beast inside."

So, these disciples took the jade slips and walked into the secret realm together. Before entering, they glanced coldly at Yun Changan and the other two.

"Master, I'm leaving now. When I come back, I will practice hard and break through the Chongtian realm."

"You, I really can't persuade you. You must carry these talismans with you and cannot throw them away casually. Take this sword, it can save your life."

The Sect Master spoke to Lin Yuan'er, but her mind was not on Yihong's words. Lin Yuan'er just took the sword from the Sect Master's hand. This sword was specially selected by the Sect Master on Jiange Peak and was just right for Lin Yuan'er.
