The Lord God is kneeling on the washboard again

Today is the day the secret realm is opened, and Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) has arrived at the Sun and Moon Palace. In front of the Sun and Moon Palace, the crowd is bustling and lively.

When she entered the palace, she saw the Sun and Moon Palace elders had been waiting for the new Palace Master. Their expressions were solemn, their gazes filled with anticipation and awe. Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) walked with a steady, graceful demeanor, her presence drawing the attention of everyone present.

The leading elder stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said, "Palace Master, you are finally here. The opening of this secret realm is of great significance. I hope you can lead our Sun and Moon Palace to achieve something within it." Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) nodded gently, her eyes firm as she spoke, "Rest assured, elders. I will give it my all."

The other elders echoed this sentiment, expressing their trust and support for the Palace Master. At this moment, sunlight shone brightly on the buildings of the Sun and Moon Palace, seemingly foreshadowing the extraordinary nature of this journey to the secret realm.

The disciples had already been counted and were neatly lined up in the square of the Sun and Moon Palace. They were all in high spirits, their eyes filled with anticipation and excitement. Since Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) became the new Palace Master, many delightful changes had taken place in the Sun and Moon Palace.

The new Palace Master, fully aware of the hardships and difficulties faced by the disciples' cultivation, not only provided them with a wealth of cultivation techniques and secret manuals, but also personally guided them in their practice, helping them avoid many detours on their path. Furthermore, Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) leveraged her connections and resources to obtain a variety of precious elixirs and magical treasures for the disciples.

Those once scarce spiritual herbs and rare gems have now become resources that disciples can use in their daily cultivation. Previously, they could only dream of owning high-level magical instruments, but now they can also obtain them through their own efforts and the Palace Master's rewards.

With the new Palace Master, they no longer worried about a lack of resources, nor were they lost for lack of guidance. They had obtained the resources they had longed for, their motivation for cultivation had intensified, and they were filled with boundless longing and hope for the future. Now, filled with gratitude, they prepared to follow the new Palace Master on a journey into the secret realms, showcasing their skills and bringing glory to the Sun and Moon Palace.

Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) said, "Now that we've completed the inventory, let's set off." As soon as she finished speaking, the disciples sprang into action, following her in an orderly fashion. Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) led the way, her posture valiant and her gaze determined. She understood the immense responsibility of this journey into the secret realm, yet she also held full confidence in them.

As the team advanced, the wind whistled in their ears and flags fluttered. The disciples were both nervous and excited, following closely behind the new Palace Master, eager to gain something from the secret realm. Meanwhile, Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) remained vigilant, monitoring all surroundings and preparing for the upcoming unknown challenges.

Back at Lingxiao Sect, Luo Lingshan was making preparations. She was dressed in a gorgeous yellow gown, delicately made up, and her eyes shone with determination and ambition.

The room was filled with various magical weapons and elixirs. Luo Lingshan carefully examined each item, making sure nothing was missing. She strapped a sharp sword to her waist and pocketed several bottles of precious elixirs.

As Luo Lingshan sorted out her things, she was mentally planning her journey to the secret realm. She knew that the secret realm was full of dangers and opportunities, and she had to be fully prepared to gain the most benefits.

At this time, a disciple came in to report, "Senior Sister, the other brothers are ready." Luo Lingshan nodded slightly and said, "Got it. Let everyone check their equipment again. Don't be careless."

After everything was ready, Luo Lingshan walked out of the room, looked at the spirited people of Lingxiao Sect in front of her, and said loudly: "On this trip to the secret realm, our Lingxiao Sect must return with a full load and impress other sects!" Everyone responded in unison, their morale high.

The other sects were also ready. The disciples of the Wanjian Sect, each with a sharp gaze, wore swords on their backs, the gemstones inlaid in their scabbards gleaming in the sunlight. The sect leader stood at the front of the group, his gaze stern as he declared, "In this secret realm, the Wanjian Sect must rely on their superior swordsmanship to seize the precious treasure!"

The disciples of Baihua Valley were dressed in colorful attire, resembling blossoms in spring. The Valley Master gently instructed, "Disciples, be cautious when entering this secret realm. Do not act rashly."

Everyone in the Fiery Flame Hall exuded a fiery aura. The hall master shouted loudly, "Brothers, we, the Fiery Flame Hall, are going to carve out a niche in this secret realm and let everyone know how powerful we are!"

All the sects are ready to go, with great momentum, ready to face the unknown challenges in the secret realm.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han), Lin Luochuan, Yu Yixuan, and Gu Beichen gathered. Yun Mohan (Nangong Han), dressed in a green robe, stood tall and straight, his brows radiating determination. Lin Luochuan, dressed in a black robe, was elegant and graceful, his eyes filled with composure. Yu Yixuan, dressed in white, looked as white as snow, his demeanor refined, a gentle smile on his face. Gu Beichen, dressed in a formal suit, looked dashing and heroic, his whole body radiating a vibrant and heroic spirit.

The men exchanged smiles, their eyes revealing a tacit understanding and trust between brothers. Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) spoke first, "Brothers, this journey to the secret realm is fraught with danger. We must look after each other." Lin Luochuan nodded and replied, "Of course. If we work together, we will surely reap rewards." Yu Yixuan smiled and continued, "With us brothers here, there's nothing to fear." Gu Beichen clenched his fists and said firmly, "Yes, let's all move forward together!"

The sunlight shone on them, making their figures more resolute. Full of confidence and courage, they prepared to embark on the journey to the secret realm together.

Today's secret realm is being carried out by the number one sect - Lingyun Sect, and everyone has arrived at the square.

The square was bustling with activity as practitioners arrived from all directions. There were disciples of immortals in flowing robes, warriors in heavy armor, and even strange individuals from various mystical sects, dressed in bizarre attire. Some chatted quietly in groups of two or three, while others sat alone, eyes closed, resting their minds, awaiting the moment the secret realm would be revealed.

The disciples of Lingyun Sect, dressed in uniform light blue attire, stood out from the crowd. They maintained order methodically, their faces radiating confidence and composure.

At this moment, the Lingyun Sect's leader leaped onto the platform, his white robes fluttering in the wind, evoking an air of immortality. Clearing his throat, the leader declared, "Fellow cultivators, today's opening of the secret realm is a major event for the cultivation world. Our sect has been entrusted by various parties to oversee the execution of this journey. We hope that upon entering the secret realm, everyone will abide by the rules and follow their own opportunities." His voice was loud and commanding, reaching everyone clearly.

The audience nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with longing and anticipation for the secret realm. The sunlight streamed onto the square, illuminating the bustling scene even more vividly.

The other sects were all curious about the new master of the Sun and Moon Palace. They whispered to each other and discussed in low voices.

"I heard that the new palace master is young and promising, I wonder if it's true."

“I don’t know what he looks like, but he has such great ability to command the Sun and Moon Palace.”

"Perhaps he became the Palace Master because of his family background."

"Don't talk nonsense. Maybe he really has something extraordinary."

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the approaching Sun Moon Palace team, their hearts filled with all sorts of speculation and anticipation. They all wanted to witness the charisma of this mysterious new Palace Master and see how the Sun Moon Palace would develop under her leadership.

The elder of the Lingyun Sect looked solemn and said with a firm gaze, "We will wait until the Sun Moon Palace arrives before we go out. Today, the Sun Moon Palace is participating in the Secret Realm Trial, led by the Palace Master of the Sun Moon Palace. This trial is of great importance, and the participation of the Sun Moon Palace may change the situation. We must proceed with caution. Wait for them to arrive and observe the situation clearly before taking any action. We must not act rashly to avoid unexpected situations."

The disciples of Lingyun Sect standing behind the elder nodded in agreement. Their expressions were tense and full of anticipation as they quietly waited for the arrival of Sun and Moon Palace.

The elder paced back and forth, his hands behind his back, pondering the potential impact of Sun Moon Palace's participation in the trial. The disciples around him also held their breath, and the atmosphere in the square grew increasingly solemn, as if even the air itself had frozen.

Someone said: "Elder", who is the Lord of the Sun and Moon Palace?

The elder said, "I heard that this person has been training outside for five years and is the last master of the Sun and Moon Palace."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone exclaimed, "Didn't the previous Palace Master of Sun Moon Palace die a hundred years ago?"

The elder's expression was solemn, and he nodded slightly. "Yes, the previous Palace Master has indeed passed away a hundred years ago. But before his death, he secretly sent this last disciple to a mysterious place for training. This must have been a premeditated plan, to ensure the continued prosperity of the Sun Moon Palace in the future."

When everyone heard this, they all looked shocked and confused.

"So what exactly did this Palace Master go through in these five years?"

"To be so valued by the former Palace Master, one must have extraordinary opportunities and abilities."

"I wonder what kind of changes her return will bring to the Sun and Moon Palace."

The atmosphere in the square became more tense. Everyone was speculating about the origin and strength of this mysterious palace master, and was full of curiosity and anticipation for the upcoming Sun and Moon Palace.

"Luo Lingshan, I want to see who this new Palace Master of the Sun and Moon Palace is." Her brows furrowed slightly, a look of inquiry and dissatisfaction in her eyes. Within the Lingxiao Sect, Luo Lingshan had always been a highly regarded figure, believing her talent and abilities to be on par with others. Now, hearing that this new Palace Master of the Sun and Moon Palace was so mysterious and so highly regarded, a strong sense of competition inevitably welled up within her.

She bit her lower lip lightly and thought to herself: "Hmph, so what if she is the closed disciple of the previous Palace Master? I want to compete with her in this secret trial to see who is more powerful." Luo Lingshan clenched her hands unconsciously, and she was mentally prepared, waiting for the appearance of the new Palace Master of Sun and Moon Palace so that she could find out the truth.

She saw Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) in the crowd, and a blush spread across her face. Her heart was pounding like a deer. At this moment, the system rang in her mind: "Host, go say hello to Nangong Han now."

Luo Lingshan bit her lip, mustering up the courage to walk towards Yun Mohan. She gently tugged at his sleeve and said softly, "Brother, long time no see." However, Yun Mohan seemed to have not heard her, looking off into the distance, completely ignoring her.

Luo Lingshan's smile froze, and a flicker of disappointment and embarrassment flashed across her eyes. She hadn't expected Yun Mohan to be so cold and indifferent, and for a moment she didn't know what to do. The people around her seemed to sense the awkward atmosphere, casting curious glances.

Luo Lingshan suppressed her inner grievance and spoke again: "Senior Brother, I..." But before she could finish her words, Yun Mohan interrupted impatiently: "Don't bother me."

Luo Lingshan's eyes instantly turned red, and she bit her lower lip, trying hard to hold back the tears. Someone nearby whispered, "Luo Lingshan is usually so arrogant, and now she's been turned down." Hearing this, Luo Lingshan felt even more ashamed and ran away.

Someone whispered softly, "Isn't that regent a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect?" Although the voice was small, it was clearly audible in the slightly quiet atmosphere.

Someone nearby immediately chimed in, "The Prince Regent severed ties with the Lingxiao Sect a long time ago. I heard that due to some unknown reasons, there was a lot of unpleasantness back then."

"Ah? There is such a thing, how come I have never heard of it?"

"How could such a secret be easily known by outsiders? However, judging by the current situation, the Regent and Lingxiao Sect are probably no longer connected."

“Indeed, the Regent King has great power and status, and Lingxiao Sect probably can’t even reach him.

Everyone was talking in low voices, with a mixture of curiosity and fear on their faces. These small words spread quietly in the air, adding a touch of mystery to the already complicated situation.

While everyone was chatting, someone suddenly exclaimed: "Look, isn't that the Sun and Moon Palace?" Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw a group of people walking towards them from a distance. The woman in the lead was dressed in sky blue clothes, and she looked playful, cute, and elegant.

That was Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li), her face as rosy as a peach, her eyebrows as dark as distant black, her eyes radiating confidence and composure. The Sun and Moon Palace disciples behind her were also in high spirits, marching in step.

Everyone's attention was attracted by Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li), and they all praised her outstanding style.

Luo Lingshan also watched the Sun Moon Palace disciples slowly approaching the crowd. When she saw the familiar faces, she felt extremely jealous, her eyes almost spitting fire as she murmured, "How could it be that bitch Duanmu Li? How could she be the new Palace Master of the Sun Moon Palace?"

Luo Lingshan clenched her fists, her nails digging into her flesh, the rage burning in her heart growing stronger. She couldn't understand how Duanmu Li, who had once been inferior to her in every way, could now become the Palace Master of Sun and Moon Palace, enjoying the admiration and respect of everyone.

"She must have used some shameful means, otherwise, with her abilities, how could she have achieved her current status." Luo Lingshan gritted her teeth and muttered to herself, her face distorted by anger and jealousy.

Everyone around was so engrossed in the excitement of the Sun Moon Palace's arrival that no one noticed Luo Lingshan's ferocious appearance. Luo Lingshan's gaze was fixed on Duanmu Li, as if she wanted to cut her into pieces with her eyes.

When Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) saw the person he had been thinking about day and night, his eyes lit up with surprise and he took a step forward without hesitation and hugged her in his arms. That gentle movement was as if the person in his arms was his most precious treasure.

At this moment, Xing Xuanli (Duanmu Li) was slightly stunned at first, then a happy smile bloomed on her face, and her hands naturally wrapped around Yun Mohan (Nangong Han)'s waist.

Luo Lingshan watched the heartwarming scene between them, jealousy spreading like wild weeds. Her eyes widened, nearly popping out, and her teeth chattered. "Why? Why did Duanmu Li deserve (Nangong Han's) love?" Luo Lingshan frantically questioned herself, the flames of jealousy threatening to consume her sanity.

Her body trembled slightly, her hands clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, yet she felt no pain at all. The admiration and envy of the people around her seemed to turn into ridicule and mockery in her ears, making her feel ashamed.

Luo Lingshan could no longer bear it and turned around to rush out of the crowd, tears welling up in her eyes and her heart filled with resentment and unwillingness.
