I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

Inside the Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect's meeting hall, candles were brightly lit, but the atmosphere was several times more solemn than usual.

In addition to the sect leader Su Hongzhen, several respected elders in the sect have all arrived.

Jin Man's overall aura seemed to be much better than before, and his complexion was much rosier.

Elder Huo Shi and Elder He sat side by side, and opposite them were two other elders who did not show much Feng Shui.

They are Elder Shen Yan, the Lotus Venerable, and Elder Wuxu.

The five people looked at Su Hongzhen with serious expressions.

"Everyone has seen it. The vortex above the central gate is definitely not an ordinary phenomenon."

Su Hongzhen sat upright in the main seat, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. "The sudden appearance of the secret door is a strange thing. What are your thoughts?"

Elder Wuxu spoke first, "In my opinion, this secret realm may be related to the recent fluctuations in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The sect's spiritual veins have been fluctuating frequently in recent months. Perhaps an ancient secret realm buried deep underground has been triggered."

"No," Jin Man retorted, shaking his head. "That vortex faintly exudes the aura of an ancient forbidden technique; it's definitely not a temporary formation. In my opinion, someone may have accidentally unlocked a sealed area."

"Did someone accidentally break the seal somewhere?" Elder Fire Lion repeated this sentence.

Are the recent fluctuations in spiritual energy and seals within the sect all caused by Cang Ziang?

However, he was a young disciple who had not even reached the Jindan stage. Even if there was some commotion in the fire refining room, how could it really be his doing?

Everyone held different opinions and the argument continued.

Su Hongzhen frowned. Before gathering everyone here, he had observed carefully, but did not get any answers.

Moreover, he had also read countless books, but still could not find the answer!

Listening to the chatter of people around him, Su Hongzhen felt a little annoyed.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement outside the hall!

The agarwood door suddenly made a crisp "click" sound.

It wasn't pushed open by someone, but fine cracks appeared from the door hinges, as if an invisible big hand was grasping the door panel and kneading it gently.

Immediately afterwards, the ground of the entire hall began to tremble, and wisps of white mist seeped out from the gaps between the floor tiles. As it rose, it condensed into the shape of a hovering dragon in mid-air!

"This is..." Su Hongzhen stood up suddenly, and the chair fell backward with him, making a harsh sound.

"The pressure from the Spiritual Transformation Realm!"

"what?!"

Suddenly, noisy voices came from the mouths of several elders at the scene.

"Elder Xuanshui has actually come out of seclusion!? He's been in seclusion for a hundred years!!!"

"A hundred years... I once thought that Elder Xuanshui would never appear again, but I didn't expect him to show up today!"

"Is this secret realm really that important?"

It had been too long since they had felt the pressure of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and they had thought that even if the sect was destroyed, he would never appear again!

Everyone was shocked.

Slowly, the agarwood door shattered into dust with a "bang", and a figure wrapped in a sky full of rosy clouds walked into the mist.

The man who came was hunched over, wearing a gray Taoist robe full of patches, but with every step he took, a golden lotus blossomed under his feet. The moment the lotus fell to the ground, it turned into runes and merged into the floor tiles. The restrictions in the entire hall actually began to hum automatically, as if paying homage to the king.

He raised his head, revealing a face full of wrinkles, but the moment he opened his eyes, two solid golden lights shot towards the dome, shattering all the century-old palace lanterns hanging on the beams!

Su Hongzhen's throat rolled over, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurried to meet him.

He said respectfully, "Venerable Xuanshui! Why did you suddenly come out of seclusion?!"

Venerable Xuanshui's face was calm as he walked straight to the top seat and sat down.

"Are you worried about the secret realm now?"

Su Hongzhen immediately understood.

He came here for the secret realm!

really!

Everyone's heart trembled.

Reverend Xuanshui said without further ado, "Let me help you solve your doubts."

His voice was hoarse with the passage of time: "This secret realm is called the Burning Heaven Ancient Domain. It did not appear suddenly, but has always been hidden under the mountain protection formation of my Qingcheng Yufa Sect."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

"What? Hidden beneath the mountain protection formation? Why have we never known about it?"

"Could it be the secret realm left behind by the founder of the sect?"

Reverend Xuanshui raised his hand and pressed it, and the hall instantly fell silent: "This secret realm has existed since the founding of the sect. Throughout the generations, only the sect master and the elders in the Spiritual Transformation Realm knew about it.

When the founder of the sect discovered it, the entrance to the secret realm had been sealed by ancient prohibitions. It could only be opened if two conditions were met: first, someone could completely clear the Fire Refining Room, triggering the resonance of the strange fires of heaven and earth; second, the soul of the person who cleared the room would be used as a guide to trigger the linkage mechanism between the secret realm and the Fire Refining Room.

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. "The Fire Refining Room may appear to be a place to test disciples, but in reality, it holds the key to unlocking a secret realm. However, since the last disciple passed through the Fire Refining Room three hundred years ago, no one has been able to reach the end. Over time, even I have almost forgotten this past event."

After Master Xuanshui finished speaking, the faces of everyone present darkened.

Because, although the Fire Refining Room was indeed maintained by them, it was not created by them.

Moreover, over the years, there has never been a disciple who can truly pass the test!

The levels that those disciples passed were all those that had been modified by Su Hongzhen and others.

And the previous "Cang Ziang" triggered different mechanisms one after another. It seems... he is the one who really passed the original fire refining room!

Originally, everyone was arguing, thinking that even if "Cang Ziang" was extremely powerful, he was just a young disciple who had not even reached the Jindan stage. How could he have such strength!

Seeing the doubts in everyone's eyes, Venerable Xuanshui spoke again.

"When I was in seclusion, I already felt that someone had passed the Fire Refining Room. This thing can't be passed by strength alone, it also requires a certain amount of luck. Those who can pass it must have great luck!"

As soon as he said this, the expressions of the other elders changed.

Su Hongzhen's face showed great joy.

"That's right... That kid Cang Ziang first went to Lingquan Mountain and got a great opportunity. After returning, he seemed to have cheated all the way, with his talent points maxed out. If you are right, then it must be his credit!"

Su Hongzhen took a deep breath: "I know what to do!"

He slammed the table and said, "Pass the order down. Count the disciples immediately. Three days later, I will personally lead the team into the secret realm to investigate!"

The discussions in the hall gradually turned into excited whispers. Everyone understood that the ancient secret realm meant endless opportunities. Perhaps this time, it would be the chance for the Qingcheng Yufa Sect to soar to the sky!

Only Venerable Xuanshui looked at the dark vortex outside the window, with a barely perceptible worry in his eyes.

Whether the opening of the secret realm is a blessing or a curse is still unknown.
