After leaving the cosmic illusion, Qiu Changtian was sent back to the Qibao Xuanyuan secret realm.
Although the sky was cracked at this time, there was no longer a river falling from the sky, and there were no dark clouds in the sky. There was only the vast sea below, sparkling under the scorching sun.
Besides him, there were eleven other people around him.
Ling Yunpo, Luo Yan, Wei Dongliu, his three small accounts all advanced, needless to say.
Junior Sister Xu passed the tribulation half a year ago and was promoted to Nascent Soul without any trouble, just to accompany me into the Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden Secret Realm... Unfortunately, she was defeated by him, who transformed into the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon, and in the end, she did not make it.
Not only that, among the remaining eight people, Senior Sister An and Miss Liuli were also missing, but there were two other acquaintances.
Wen Yang of the Yin Gui Dao, the closed disciple of the White Bone Master, had been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage at some point in time, probably because the Yin Gui Dao spared no resources in cultivating him.
Qiu Changtian had no idea why Shura Dao Gu Lie was also on the list of twelve people - he probably could only wait until Wei Dongliu's timeline to get the answer.
Except for the six people from the orthodox magic sect, the rest are all independent practitioners!
Such an outrageous result would probably shock the Three Pure Ones and Six Paths after leaving the secret realm... The sect would probably realize something was wrong even without waiting until they left the secret realm and those famous monks who were favored by the elders were eliminated one after another.
Suddenly, there were drums, string music, and flutes, whistling and singing, and wonderful Buddhist chanting, the sound was ethereal and clear, reaching all the depths:
"...First, look at the Qingxiao Road, which rises high and rises with nine-colored clouds, rising to the heavens. Eight scenes rise together with jade, and three white clouds fly together. The jade wheel rotates with feather canopy, and the treasure tree connects to the golden pool. The Emperor of Heaven sits upright, spreading the wonderful Dharma to everyone, with red jade scripture and yellow scroll text..."
"...On the Sanyuan and Bajie Festivals, one ascends the Jieyan Treasure Platform. The Yang God forms a Dan heart, and the green and blue water blooms a white lotus. The God flies thousands of miles to the heaven of the Desire Realm..."
Hearing the following words "the spirit flew thousands of miles to the heaven of desire realm", Qiu Changtian was shocked, knowing that it was the "backup plan left in the Great Light Palace" that the old man mentioned.
When they came to their senses, they had been transported out of the secret realm and sent back to the vicinity of the North Pole.
Near the Tianzhu, many monks were standing on both sides, clearly separated.
The Three Pure Ones of the orthodox religion were on one side, and most of them looked serious and solemn, obviously because the difference between reality and expectation was too great.
The six demon sect members were on the other side, and most of them looked nervous and alert, mainly because they were afraid that the righteous sect members would suddenly go crazy and kill all the demon sect members and the independent cultivators.
As for the individual cultivators... they would just leave immediately after being eliminated, so how could they possibly stay there and wait?
Qiu Changtian quickly returned to the Kunlun Array. He nodded to Xu Yinglian, saying that he was fine and asked her to rest assured. Then he went to the Ziwei Sect Master and whispered:
"Master, I have accomplished my mission."
"Let's go." Master Ziwei said calmly.
The Kunlun monks immediately set out, and thousands of lights rose into the sky. Qiu Changtian glanced around and saw that Penglai had already left first, while Shushan, which was the last to leave, could not hold back and some people had already started fighting with the Demon Cult.
Since the Lord of Qibao Xuanyuan has already determined that fighting with the Demon Cult at this time will be purely harmful and unprofitable, which Penglai can easily see through, Kunlun will certainly not act on impulse.
However, Shushan has already begun to vent its anger on the Demon Cult. If the war between the two sides involves Kunlun monks, they will not be able to withdraw easily, lest they be seen as not daring to fight back, which would damage their reputation.
Therefore, as Sect Leader Ziwei gave the order, dozens of Kunlun elders deliberately fell behind and threw a large number of magic weapons behind them - either defensive magic weapons or means of restraint, blocking the Demon Sect and Kunlun's main formation.
Such actions are naturally intended to guard against the evil cult.
However, the Demon Cult did not launch any attacks on Kunlun, but instead methodically withdrew its front lines to avoid expanding the war to outsiders.
On the contrary, it was the Shushan side that, intentionally or unintentionally, directed the attack towards Kunlun. This shows that although most of these Shushan sword immortals are reckless men, they are not completely without scheming, and there are still a few high-level cultivators with evil intentions.
After returning to Kunlun, but before reaching Tianzhu, the immortal Chisong suddenly flew down on his sword and headed straight for Qiu Changtian.
"Chang Geng, what did you gain from this trip?"
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission." Qiu Changtian said with a bow.
"Very good!" Immortal Chisong was immediately delighted, "Come with me first."
Without waiting for Master Ziwei to speak, he took Qiu Changtian into the air and flew quickly towards the Kunlun Pillar.
With such an unreliable sect guardian immortal, Sect Leader Ziwei was helpless. He had originally planned to hold a sect commendation meeting to celebrate Elder Chang Geng's victory, but now he had to put it on hold for the time being.
However, the immortal Chisong flew his sword at full speed and quickly arrived at Kunlun Sky Pillar with Qiu Changtian, rushed into Yuxu Palace, and entered the secret realm of Tianmen Palace from the back hall.
When he arrived at the Tianmen Palace, Qiu Changtian scanned silently and saw the pine and cypress tree in the original location - no matter its position, size or shape, it was exactly the same as the one in the Qibao Xuanyuan Secret Realm and had never changed.
"how?"
"The entrance to the Fatian Xiangdi passage is still there, unchanged." Kunlun Jing hesitated for a moment and continued, "But we cannot be sure whether there are additional mechanisms and traps inside the passage unless we can go in and investigate."
"It doesn't matter." Qiu Changtian said calmly, "As long as there is such a secret passage, it will be enough to enter the secret realm of Tianmen Palace."
Before Kunlun Mirror could say anything, he heard Immortal Chisong ask:
"What is the secret motto this time?"
Qiu Changtian recalled for a moment, then recited the proverb in detail.
“So many?” Immortal Chisong was surprised at first, but when he heard the following words “the spirit flew thousands of miles and ascended to the heaven of desire realm”, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
In any case, it can be basically confirmed that there are secrets in the Great Light Hall that can help immortals ascend to heaven.
Next, the question is how to reward Chang Geng.
Immortal Chisong and Sect Leader Ziwei agreed that Chang Geng was the only candidate for the next Sect Leader of Kunlun. From this perspective, Chang Geng could use the resources of the entire Kunlun Taiqing Sect at will, so it would not be a good idea to reward him with ordinary treasures.
Thinking of this, the Red Pine Immortal said slowly:
"Chang Geng, this time you have not only made great contributions to the sect, but also made me owe you a favor."
"Here I have a secret scroll called 'The Natural Spiritual Chapter of the Hollow in the Sky'. This book is of the same rank as 'The True Words of Entering the Nine Heavens' Pure Land', but it does not record the Qigong technique, but various immortal secrets. I will give it to you now!"
"Thank you, Immortal." There was neither ecstasy nor shock on Qiu Changtian's face. He just calmly took the jade slip handed over by True Man Chisong and probed into it with his spiritual sense.
The first page of the jade slip contained six large characters:
The Secret of the Sleeve
