Chapter 18 Elder Qianduan
The disciples of the three major sects all wore white clothes. The only difference was that the white clothes of the Wan Dao Sect were embroidered with exquisite patterns with gold threads on the hem, cuffs, and even collars, which showed that they were rich and reserved.
The patterns on the clothes of the Guijin Hall are almost all star maps, because most of the people in their hall are good at observing the sky and predicting fate. Only a few talisman cultivators and instrument cultivators are mixed in.
As the name suggests, the Tianjian Sect only has sword practitioners. They wear white slim-fitting clothes and carry a sword on their backs, in their hands, or on their waists. The highest principle of their sect is to always carry a sword with them.
"Look! The people from Wandao Sect are here!"
Someone was sharp-eyed enough to spot the elders and disciples of the Wandao Sect riding fairy cranes flying in the sky, and they immediately exclaimed in amazement.
"It's no wonder that he is the richest among the thousands of sects. The other sects treat the expensive and difficult-to-raise fairy cranes as treasures, but only the people of the Wandao Sect use fairy cranes as mounts!"
"Of course not. Wan Dao Sect has all kinds of cultivation. As long as you have good talent, a good background, or money, you can enter Wan Dao Sect."
"What a coincidence, I have no money."
A group of people below were chattering non-stop, all of them marveling at the vast wealth of the Wandao Sect.
Amid the envious discussions of the crowd, Xie Buyu, Tang Su, the fifth elder, and the remaining eight disciples' fairy cranes landed together.
The crowd retreated like a tide, leaving a large open space in the middle. The crane landed steadily on the ground, folded its white wings, and proudly welcomed the praises from the people around it.
The Wandao Sect was the last to arrive, and no one dared to be dissatisfied, except the other two major sects.
The three major sects were not as friendly as they seemed, at least they all wanted to win first or second place. The three major sects were like a stable structure, no one was submissive to anyone else, and no one could do anything to anyone else.
The people from the Tianjian Sect just gave them a cold look and left. They didn't bother to argue with anyone, or it could be said that the people from the Tianjian Sect were not good at speaking.
The only ones who took the initiative to pick a fight were the fortune tellers from Guijintang, who said in a sinister tone:
"Huh? I thought that sect was causing such a big fuss? It turns out that you are from the Wan Dao Sect. Excuse me. It's true that having money makes things different. Maybe this secret realm is just for fun for you. After all, you have so many treasures in the Wan Dao Sect, how could you be short of this little thing?"
The number of people who can enter the secret realm is limited, and once a certain number of people are reached, no more people can enter.
Unless someone dies inside.
What the disciples of the Guijin Sect said implied that the Secret Capital Realm has a limit on the number of people allowed in, and it’s not a very special large secret realm. Your sect doesn’t lack these things, so why don’t you make room for other people who need resources?
These words immediately resonated with those cultivators who were unable to enter the secret realm and those poor small sects with few people entering the secret realm.
Although no one said anything, their eyes revealed some dissatisfaction.
The fifth elder pulled out his whip and swung it violently to the ground. Dust flew up in the air and the people around him were so scared that they stepped back a little.
She said arrogantly: "If you don't agree, just keep it to yourself!"
After saying that, he glanced at the Guijintang disciple who was speaking and retorted, "Did you donate the money for the Wandao Sect? If not, then shut up!"
"How dare you be so shady with me? Where did you come from? You've done something shameful!"
A few words retorted to the disciple of Guijintang speechless. She was indeed the hot-tempered but beautiful Fifth Elder of Wandao Sect as rumored.
The Wandao Sect had its leading elders, and naturally the Guijin Sect also had one. Their elders just came out and laughed it off and brushed the matter aside.
The fifth elder did not insist on fighting. After all, it would not be a good idea to start a fight at the entrance of the secret realm in public, as it would have a bad impact.
The elder leading the Tianjian sect was a little old man. He walked out of the crowd slowly with a hunched back and a cane. Just one glance from him startled the older people present.
Isn't this the great master of the Heavenly Sword Sect who has been in seclusion for a long time? Why is he here now? And he personally brought a group of disciples to the secret realm for training?
"It's Elder Qianduan! Excuse me!"
The Fifth Elder was shocked but his eyes were filled with admiration. This was the first time Xie Buyu had seen the Fifth Elder treat someone with such respect. He was completely different from the hot-tempered beauty just now.
The elder of the Tianjian Sect also bowed immediately and said respectfully:
"Elder Qianduan has come out of retreat? I am so blind that I didn't notice Elder Qianduan was here!"
The old man smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No problem, no problem. I came here because I have nothing to do during my time out of seclusion."
As early as the Fifth Elder called him Elder Qianduan, everyone was already shocked. Who doesn't know the legendary Elder Qianduan?
This was the first time Xie Buyou saw Elder Qianduan in person, but he had heard of the legends about this elder.
A thousand years ago, there was a genius swordsman who practiced the ruthless sword. At that time, the Demon King was born, and the swordsman sealed him with his own strength, which later became a rare story that has been passed down through the ages in the world of immortal cultivation.
Unfortunately, it was also a thousand years ago when he used all his strength that time that the Merciless Sword Master suffered damage to his own strength and had to go into seclusion to recuperate. He has never appeared since then, and no one knows what happened to him later.
This was the only legend Xie Buyou knew, that he had sealed the Demon Lord single-handedly. Even though the Demon Lord had not yet been born, the twists and turns he had gone through were already unimaginable.
I didn't expect that the legendary ruthless swordsman would appear here!
Moreover, it is completely contrary to the legendary image of a genius, handsome and elegant man.
Most of the people present were young people. Although they had heard about it, they had never seen it with their own eyes, so they were silent.
But this could not stop the enthusiasm of the Fifth Elder and the Guijin Hall Elder.
"The youngsters and Fu Li will open the secret realm. Elder Qian Duan should not overwork himself."
Fu Li was the leading elder of Guijin Hall. He nodded.
The old man did not refuse and stood aside to watch Elder Wu Zhang and Elder Fu Li jointly open the entrance to the secret realm.
The way to open the entrance to the secret realm is very simple. You just need to place your hand on the stone gate and transfer your internal energy into the stone gate.
Ancient runes were engraved on the surface of the stone gate. The densely packed characters began to glow the moment the internal force was input, floated to the surface, and then pieced together in mid-air and covered the stone gate again.
“Boom boom—”
The vibrations between the stones caused the stone door to open to both sides, revealing the white light inside. The white barrier was the entrance to the secret realm, and the stone door was the only obstacle separating the two places.
Now that the obstacles are gone, the only remaining white barrier seems to be inviting them to another unknown little world.
Because Elder Qianduan of the Tianjian Sect was present, the Fifth Elder and Elder Fuli took the initiative to let the disciples led by them enter first.
Next are the disciples of Wan Dao Sect and Gui Jin Tang whom Xie Buyou represents.
Finally come the remaining sects and individual cultivators.
A large group of people came in one after another, and in the end only a small number of sect elders and seniors were left outside waiting for support.
I didn't expect to enter the secret realm at a random location. As expected, Xie Buxi was no longer alone.
