Ye Qiu found the old temple master as quickly as possible. At first glance, Ye Qiu saw that the old temple master's expression was very strange, as if a sense of panic had appeared on his face.
But upon noticing his arrival, the old temple master quickly regained his composure: "You've come. I knew you'd come."
"It seems you know something about the secrets behind the ancient broken sword." Ye Qiu stepped forward, his expression solemn.
“You’re mistaken,” the old temple master said. “I’m not interested in the secrets behind the Ancient Broken Sword, but I am quite interested in the secrets surrounding you.”
"What do you mean by that, Palace Master?" A sense of vigilance rose in Ye Qiu's heart. He stopped in his tracks, maintaining a safe distance, as he had originally intended to approach.
However, the old temple master saw through Ye Qiu's thoughts: "You don't need to be afraid of me, I won't do anything to you."
I'm just curious, after the heavenly tribulation descended, before the ancient broken sword was destroyed, what exactly was that thing that rushed out of your body? And why was it on you?
“That was the Demon Queen. I don’t know if that thing was a magical artifact she left behind or a remnant of her soul. In any case, it stayed with me until the Heavenly Tribulation came down, at which point she left to resist the tribulation,” Ye Qiu said.
"I see." The old temple master's eyes were deep: "It seems that you have a great karmic connection with the Demon Queen and with the Ancient Broken Sword, otherwise you would not have been able to comprehend the complete version of the Mountain and River Sword Dao."
Mountain and River Sword Dao?
Ye Qiu was taken aback.
He never expected that the old palace master, who had lived for thousands of years, would be unaware that the Mountain and River Sword Dao was actually the Heaven-Breaking Sword Dao.
It seems that the Heaven-Breaking Sword Dao hidden within the ancient broken sword has been silent for countless years in the long river of history.
If he hadn't ascended the altar and triggered the extraordinary realm, this invincible sword technique would have been buried in some unknown era.
Thinking of the extraordinary secret realm, Ye Qiu suddenly became interested again. Looking at the old palace master, he said, "Palace master, the matter of cause and effect is very mysterious. In fact, it is useless to say more at this time."
But there's something else I'm incredibly curious about: do you know anything about extraordinary realms?
"You want to ask about the Sword Realm inside the Ancient Sword, right?" The old temple master saw through it all: "That Sword Realm is a mysterious space that transcends time, where time flows differently from the outside world."
I too have tried to enter, countless times over the endless years, but never succeeded. I never imagined you would succeed on your first try. Alas, it's fate.
"What if it's not the Sword Realm, but something that one can enter the Transcendent Realm on their own?" Ye Qiu asked.
"What did you say?" The old temple master's eyes lit up instantly: "You mean, you can enter the extraordinary realm on your own without the help of external forces?"
"Perhaps inspired by the Sword Realm, I might be able to do it." Ye Qiu didn't use a very certain tone.
Upon hearing Ye Qiu's answer, the old temple master trembled with excitement: "Incredible, incredible! You actually managed to do this."
Ancient legends say that in the primordial era, beings could become immortals without being restricted by heaven and earth. However, even in that era, those who could become immortals were extremely rare. All those who became immortals shared one characteristic: they could enter extraordinary realms.
Therefore, those who could enter the extraordinary realm were called the Sons of Heaven by male cultivators, commonly known as the Son of Heaven or the Child of the Dao, and the Heavenly Maidens by female cultivators. If such beings appeared in the demon race, they were called Heavenly Demons or Immortal Demons, and the demon race was called Heavenly Demons.
In addition, such people have another general name, known as 'mortal immortals'. Even demons and monsters can be called this, because the ultimate dream of all living beings is to become immortals.
Every mortal immortal is a prodigy among prodigies, a monster among monsters.
"And if you truly attain transcendence, you will be the only mortal immortal remaining in the Great Dragon Dynasty, the only 'Son of Heaven.'"
The old temple master gave a detailed explanation, allowing Ye Qiu to understand the specifics.
Ye Qiu was secretly thrilled. If that were the case, would he have a chance to ascend to immortality?
While Ye Qiu was lost in thought, the old palace master continued, "Without a doubt, beings such as emperors and goddesses, or celestial demons and monsters, have already involved higher levels of mystery, which cannot be explained in a few words. If you can really enter the extraordinary secret realm, it is best to keep it a secret from everyone and not mention your situation to anyone, otherwise you may bring great disaster upon yourself."
"Thank you for the reminder, Elder Temple Master."
Ye Qiu bowed.
Ye Qiu's gesture of respect at this moment also carried another meaning, which he did not explicitly state, but rather hoped that the old palace master would keep it a secret for him.
The old temple master stared at Ye Qiu for a long time before finally letting out a sigh: "If I had met you earlier, you might have been more suitable to inherit the position of Holy Son. What a pity, what a pity."
"Will the Holy Son's final destination be the Void Battlefield?"
"Qingzhu told you? That girl is unreliable." The old temple master shook his head with a wry smile.
"Don't worry, senior. If this is a secret, I won't let anyone else know," Ye Qiu said.
"It's alright," the old temple master said. "The Holy Son is indeed going to the Void Battlefield, but it will be a long time before he can go."
Can I go?
"No," the old temple master said. "To enter the Void Battlefield, one needs to integrate with the special Dao principles within the Void Battlefield, which we call the 'Void Dao.' Without the Void Dao, even if all the Dharma Kings of the Great Dragon Dynasty joined forces, they would not be able to shake the Void Battlefield in the slightest."
We cannot obtain these Void Paths from below; they can only be dropped down by our people in the Void Battlefield. There are dedicated personnel responsible for collecting them and distributing them to those who wish to enter the Void Battlefield.
The collection of 'Void Paths' is extremely slow, taking only five years to accumulate enough for twenty people. This current supply has already been used up. If you want to enter the Void Battlefield, you'll have to wait another five years, and even then, there's no guarantee you'll have the chance.
"What are the benefits of entering the Void Battlefield?" Ye Qiu asked.
