"I never imagined that the downfall of both the Great Xia Dynasty and the Ding Dynasty was connected to you."

After looking Qin Xin up and down, Feng Bi suddenly spoke up.

Qin Xin wasn't too surprised. After all, the Tianxuan Sect had considerable influence in the Central Plains and likely had its own spies in the Eastern Wilderness, so it was well aware of what was happening there.

"It was just a stroke of luck, and I am also grateful for the help of many friends and seniors."

Qin Xin didn't want to show off too much about this; he was very clear about the principle that "the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind."

"From this perspective, you should now know quite a bit about your father."

Feng Zi spoke calmly, a gentle look appearing between his brows, "To be honest, I had quite a bit of contact with your father, Qin Xiao, back then, but he was stubborn by nature, and even knowing that the Xuan Tian Sword Sect had problems, he was unwilling to betray it."

"By the way, you do look somewhat like your father."

Upon hearing Feng Bi's words, Qin Xin was also somewhat surprised. "Did the Grand Elder already know that I was Qin Xiao's son?"

"That's why they made me join the Heavenly Profound Sect."

Qin Xin's question is not unreasonable. The Tianxuan Sect has extremely strict entry requirements, yet he was able to receive Hong Ye's invitation and successfully join the sect.

Furthermore, Qin Xin could clearly feel that he had received a lot of care within the Tianxuan Sect, so based on Feng Bi's words, Qin Xin assumed that all of this had been arranged in advance.

“No, you were able to enter the Tianxuan Sect entirely because of your own talent and influence.” Feng Zi shook his head slowly and then said, “I only learned that you are Qin Xiao’s son through Zhou Lei’s message.”

"The Grand Elder also knows Senior Zhou?" Qin Xin was somewhat surprised.

Feng Zi smiled and said, "Of course we know each other. Zhou Lei and your father had a life-or-death bond. Unfortunately, after your father disappeared, he went to Suyab City alone."

"Although it was said to be to suppress demonic beasts, protect the peace of the region, and prevent the only teleportation array between the Eastern Wilderness and the Central Plains from being destroyed."

"In reality, it was to guard that place, so as to prevent the Qin people of Zhongzhou from doing anything out of line."

After hearing Feng Lu's words, Qin Xin finally understood why he was able to return safely after his martial bone was dug out. Even though Elder Mo handed over what he had obtained from the Immortal Palace ruins, it was not the key to saving his life.

If everything is related to Zhou Lei, then all of this can be completely explained.

However, Qin Xin was curious as to why Zhou Lei did not appear when his martial bone was stripped away.

According to Qin Xin's own thoughts, perhaps Zhou Lei at the time did not know that he was Qin Xiao's son, nor did he know that he possessed martial bones, which is why he allowed Zhongzhou to do as he pleased.

However, Qin Xin did not harbor any resentment. After all, his act of guarding the branch of Qin Xiao's lineage located in the Eastern Wilderness was already considered extremely loyal.

"The Grand Elder should also know about the ruins of that celestial palace."

Qin Xin knew that his father and grandfather had both disappeared in the Immortal Palace ruins. Now that the Grand Elder had brought up this matter, he naturally had a deep understanding of it, so Qin Xin asked directly.

"The ruins of the Immortal Palace?" Upon hearing these words, Feng Zi's somewhat weathered face twitched slightly. "I suppose you already know that your father went there."

Fenglu's eyes slowly gazed at the sky, and he murmured, "Did you know that in ancient times, there were immortals?"

"Immortal?" Qin Xin was somewhat surprised to hear this unfamiliar term.

“That’s right, it is indeed an immortal.” Feng Zi nodded, and then said, “You should know that the cultivation stages of martial artists are the Acquired Realm, the Innate Realm, the Aperture Opening Realm, the Qi Sea Realm, the Yuan Mansion Realm, the Core Formation Realm, the Dharma Aspect Realm, the Earth Profound Realm, and the Heaven Profound Realm. But do you know what the realms after the Heaven Profound Realm are?”

"Could it be the Immortal Realm?" Qin Xin replied softly.

"That's one way to put it, but martial artists generally refer to it as the Three Realms of Creation. Anyone who can enter the Three Realms of Creation will be recognized by the laws of heaven and earth and have a long lifespan. Therefore, in ancient times, these people were called immortals." Feng Zi nodded and patiently explained to Qin Xin.

"In the ancient Tianxuan Continent, the power of laws was perfected. Therefore, after martial artists successfully entered the three realms of creation, they would enter the Immortal Palace to cultivate, because they could better comprehend the power of the laws of heaven and earth in the Immortal Palace."

"But since the ancient war, the Tianxuan Continent's heritage was severed, and the Immortal Palace was reduced to ruins in that battle."

"Of course, since then, no one on this Tianxuan Continent has been able to enter the third realm of creation."

Feng Bi spoke, his words seemingly tinged with helplessness.

"My father and grandfather went to that immortal palace ruins, was it to step into the third realm of creation?" Qin Xin was a little puzzled. It was clearly a ruin, so why did his father and grandfather go there one after the other, and why did they both disappear there in the end?

"I suppose so, but I can't figure out the exact reason. However, I must tell you that the Tianxuan Continent you see is far more complex than you think."

As Feng Bi spoke, a powerful aura seemed to be pressing down on him, forcing him to stop speaking.

“Your strength is still somewhat weak right now. Once you become stronger, you will naturally understand.” Seeing Qin Xin’s puzzled expression, Feng Bi said slowly, “Although the Yin Wind Ravine is dangerous, it should not pose any threat to you.”

“The Tianque Qin Clan has also infiltrated the Tuocang Mountain Pill Academy, and all that they are doing is very likely because of you.”

"If you intend to go to Yinfeng Ravine to find Yang Xiu and the others, this trip will certainly not be safe."

Feng Bi seemed to know Qin Xin's thoughts perfectly, and before he could speak, he answered all the questions in his mind.

"Elder, why do you know that there are people pulling the strings behind the scenes at Tuocang Mountain Pill Academy? Why don't you intervene? If Tuocang Mountain Pill Academy and Tianxuan Sect get into a rift, it will ultimately be the disciples of Tianxuan Sect who suffer the consequences," Qin Xin said, somewhat puzzled.

"The current situation of the Xuanzong Sect is not as good as you imagine. The Tuocang Mountain Pill Academy has always remained neutral. I am neither a member of the Pill Academy nor an alchemist. If I get involved, it will only attract criticism from powerful forces such as the Xuantian Sword Sect."

"This would be even more disadvantageous for the Tianxuan Sect."

“But you are different. As an elder of the Tuocang Mountain Pill Academy, you are naturally qualified to manage the situation within the Pill Academy.”

After listening, Qin Xin finally understood.

"Alright, go wherever you want. Here's a talisman for you. You can activate it if you encounter any danger."

"However, this talisman can only be used for three feet, and should not be used casually unless absolutely necessary."

After speaking, Feng Bi pointed in the air, and a somewhat ethereal talisman floated before Qin Xin's eyes. The complex patterns on it made Qin Xin feel a little startled.

"Thank you, Elder!"

Qin Xin didn't stand on ceremony at all and directly put the Wind Escape Talisman into his spatial ring.

He then left the Grand Elder's residence and returned to his own pavilion.

This trip to Yin Feng Ravine is fraught with danger, and Qin Xin needs to make some preparations in advance.
