At the same time, the "savior" that Wang Chuxiao mentioned was drinking tea in the pavilion on the top of the cliff.
Qin Tianque filled a glass and pushed it in front of Xiang Sheng, his tone as gentle as ever:
"When the Wanjian Clan matter was resolved, I mentioned that I had something important to discuss with you. I didn't expect it to drag on for two years."
Xiang Sheng lowered his eyes to glance at the clear tea and said softly, "It seems that although what Senior Brother wants to say is important, there is no rush."
Qin Tianque smiled slightly when he heard this, and without keeping anyone in suspense, he went straight to the point: "Junior sister, do you know about the Hunyuan Secret Realm?"
Xiang Sheng's eyes flashed, "I know a thing or two. Is the matter you mentioned related to this secret realm?"
In the memories she had gained over the years, there were more or less mentions of the Hunyuan Secret Realm, but there were so many memories that she did not look at them in detail.
"The Hunyuan Secret Realm is within the Underworld, and its opening date is uncertain."
Qin Tianque continued, "When this secret realm is at its most active, it can be opened twice a year, but when it is dormant, it may not be opened even once in thousands of years, causing many cultivators to regret it for the rest of their lives.
Junior Sister is a lucky person. Two years ago, I sensed some unusual movement in the Hunyuan Secret Realm. It will surely open within six months."
Xiang Sheng raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes: "Senior Brother, you want me to go, isn't that inappropriate?
Although I don't know much about the Hunyuan Secret Realm, I have heard that the entrance to the secret realm is very fragile and only those below the Spiritual Transformation Stage can enter."
"It seems that Junior Sister really doesn't know much about the Hunyuan Secret Realm. Please be patient and listen to Senior Brother's detailed explanation."
Qin Tianque chuckled and said:
“There are countless earth-yin spirits wandering in the Hunyuan Secret Realm.
The spirit is neither human nor ghost, and is similar to a wandering soul. After death, the spirit transforms itself and turns into ownerless essence or ownerless vital energy.
Ownerless essence is natural true essence, which can be transformed into true essence and absorbed into the body without the need for refining, and become one with one's own true essence.
The ownerless essence has a cold and rough nature, is harmless to the meridians, and does not require refining. It can wash away impurities in the true essence and consolidate the foundation.
These two complement each other. If they are supplied in unlimited quantities, as long as the state of mind is sufficient, a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage can rise to the top in an instant and achieve the great power of the Fusion Stage!"
If someone else had such a miraculous opportunity in front of them, they would have been overjoyed.
After hearing this, Xiang Sheng's expression remained unchanged. He simply asked, "Excuse me, Senior Brother, when was the last time this secret realm was opened?"
Qin Tianque was not surprised and responded as he was told, "Three thousand years ago, your Third Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Sister were able to cross the threshold of the Spiritual Transformation at such a young age and become Vein Masters. The contribution of the Hunyuan Secret Realm is not small."
Xiang Sheng understood, his eyes showing thought.
These things are easy to verify, and she doesn't think Qin Tianque is exaggerating.
During the past two years of practicing in the sect, she clearly felt that her progress in cultivation was getting slower and slower.
Firstly, it was because the insights gained from going out and the memories of the crystal stone had been almost digested, and the progress of the sword intent and the artistic conception of time were both slow.
Secondly, her spiritual talent is too high. After she became a spirit, her dantian was like a vast ocean, and the amount of true essence it could hold was more than a hundred times more than that of the out-of-body stage.
However, the method she had originally created to purify her true essence with the Wheel of Life could only allow a hundred feet of true essence to flow through the bridge of her physical body every day. Compared with the true essence she gained through daily practice, it was nothing but a drop in the bucket.
Therefore, today, two years later, although she has replenished the true essence in her Dantian, only less than one-tenth of it has been tempered.
As long as the strength of her true essence does not increase, she will not be able to temper her body, let alone break through to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
To this end, she has been trying to condense the second life wheel.
With her physical strength, it is not difficult to condense the second life wheel, it just takes time.
However, the knife of "Xue Jiushu" is hanging over her head, and Taiyin is watching her covetously in the dark. What she lacks most is time.
The "ownerless vital energy" that Qin Tianque mentioned was exactly what she urgently needed.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng raised the corners of his eyes and smiled faintly: "Big Brother always offers a pillow when I feel sleepy. Aren't you afraid that I will think too much?"
Qin Tianque knew she had implicitly agreed when he heard this, and he couldn't help but shake his head and smile, "As the saying goes, cooperation is mutually beneficial. Senior Brother is indeed deliberately paving the way for you, and even hopes that you will immediately surpass me and become the strongest person in the world."
At this point, Qin Tianque didn't know what he was thinking about. His eyes darkened a little, but his voice was full of sincerity:
"Xiao Qi, Senior Brother won't harm you unless the inheritance tower..."
Qin Tianque didn't say the second half of the sentence.
Xiang Sheng didn't ask any further questions. He just looked at him deeply for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Besides this, Senior Brother, I'm afraid you also want me to protect the disciples in the sect, right?"
Qin Tianque came out of that inexplicable emotion, shook his head and smiled:
“Nothing can be hidden from Junior Sister.
Those who can enter the Hunyuan Secret Realm are all elites from various sects, and the Pantheon will definitely not miss this opportunity.
However, the entrance controlled by the Pantheon can only send a few people in the God Transformation Stage at most. My disciples of the Sword Sect are good at defeating the strong with the weak. This trip can be regarded as an excellent training for us, and we don't have to work too hard.
Junior sister, you have to decide the right measure yourself."
Xiang Sheng nodded with a smile: "Then I will go in as Chen Xiang, what do you think, Senior Brother?"
"That's exactly what my senior brother meant."
Qin Tianque said as he took out a jade slip and handed it to Xiang Sheng: "This jade slip contains the experiences of the disciples who entered the Hunyuan Secret Realm over the years. Junior Sister, you may want to take a look.
The people of Wuming Peak are few and far between, and you will be too conspicuous if you act alone. I will speak to the Water Sword Clan and have you go in with them."
Xiang Sheng gladly accepted it and stood up to say goodbye.
After this meeting, the tension between the two seemed to have eased considerably, but how much of that was true, only they knew.
After leaving the mountain pavilion, Xiang Sheng returned to his residence on the Nameless Peak. He closed the formation, took out the jade slip, and read it carefully by comparing it with the memories of Lou Huo, Sui Lian, and the Thousand-Faced Old Ghost.
No one knows the origin of the Hunyuan Secret Realm.
Even Sui Lian, who had lived the longest among the three, knew very little about its origins. He only knew that this secret realm suddenly appeared one day after the ancient times.
Because the entrance to the secret realm is too fragile and it is an excellent place to hunt geniuses, it has never been destroyed by the Pantheon.
The Earth Yin Spirit in the secret realm, as well as the ownerless Yuan Qi and Essence transformed from the Earth Yin Spirit after death, are exactly the same as what Qin Tianque said.
But Qin Tianque didn't mention that the strength of the Earth Yin Spirits varied, ranging from the Fusion Stage to the Qi Refining Stage, and because of their ghost-like characteristics, they were extremely difficult to kill.
It is easy for sword cultivators, but other cultivators need to kill their spirits repeatedly thousands of times before they can transform into death.
The secret realm remains open for varying periods of time, ranging from one year to ten years.
But the secret realm is located in the underworld after all. Even if one takes the best Lieyang Pill to remove the Yin energy, one can only stay there for eighty-one days.
If it is maintained with ordinary Qingyin pills, it can only last for forty-nine days, otherwise there will be a danger of Yin Qi entering the marrow.
