Chapter 204
Demonic Abyss
Yan Qingyan adjusted the mask on her face, covering her dark expression.
Ling Mochen was keenly aware of his Taoist companion's emotions and whispered, "Qingyan, do you want to go back to the cave first?"
Yan Qingyan nodded silently.
The monks all around were talking about what had just happened. Although the topics all revolved around the Holy Academy, most of the content was flattering words. There was no need to listen any further.
After returning to the cave, Yan Qingyan took off her mask and let out a long breath.
"The prestige of this Holy Academy is really beyond my expectations." Yan Qingyan complained.
Thinking back to the first time they met, the two disciples from the Holy Academy sang the same tune without asking for her opinion and asked her to take action as a matter of course. She really didn't see how these people had any prestige.
Ling Mochen also took off his mask, revealing his beautiful face. He gently patted Yan Qingyan's shoulder and asked, "Are they the people from the Holy Academy who stopped you before?"
Yan Qingyan nodded, "Yes, that's them."
Thinking of the past, a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes, and she added: "There are a few more people I haven't seen before. You don't know those people. The tone of their speech is like that of ancient...like the emperor of the mortal world. I am not their subordinate, so what order can I give?!"
Equality and respect are the concepts instilled in her previous life and are deeply rooted. The Tianxuan Realm only cares about cultivation, background, and qualifications... Yan Qingyan often feels that she is incompatible with the people here. This is a gap caused by the basic concepts of life.
Fortunately... Mo Chen is not like them.
"Don't be angry." Ling Mochen didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only grab Yan Qingyan's hand and said something awkwardly.
"I'm not angry, just complaining." Yan Qingyan shook hands again, and her slender hand subconsciously touched the callus on Ling Mochen's palm.
Yan Qingyan took out a few spiritual fruits, stuffed them into her mouth casually, and said quietly: "Looking at the prestige of this Holy Academy, am I in big trouble again?"
She always thought that what she had encountered before was just a small matter, but today she realized that this was a big deal!
"I'll accompany you." Ling Mochen said without hesitation.
Yan Qingyan: ...
Although he was very touched, Mo Chen also felt that this meant there was a big trouble?
"Will you always wear a mask with me and live under the shadow of the Holy Academy and the Xiang family?" Yan Qingyan's tone suddenly became tactful and she asked jokingly.
"Okay." Ling Mochen replied seriously.
Yan Qingyan: ...
This guy, how could he take even jokes and joking so seriously? She couldn't go on.
Yan Qingyan felt relieved. No matter what, as long as she had the space and Mo Chen was by her side, no matter how big the trouble was, it would not be a problem for her.
This is the pure land in your heart and also the place where you can feel at peace.
Everyone has a different source of security. Some people have a house, some have healthy family members, and some have a skill...
She seemed to have it all: space, Mo Chen, heavenly spiritual roots, and countless spirit stones... Now all she lacked was an invincible realm of cultivation.
That is something you will practice and improve throughout your life.
"Let's not talk about the Holy Academy. Our purpose is to come to the secret realm." Yan Qingyan changed the subject.
The more you pay attention to annoying things, the easier it is to come. There are many beautiful scenes in life, so she should pay more attention to secret realms and practice, and advance to a higher level one day earlier.
She holds a grudge very much. The cave she rented before was destroyed. She has always been thinking about going back to seek revenge on the Xiang family after she is promoted!
"Tianxuan Secret Realm, the secret realm closest to Shengling City, will open in three days and remain open for a hundred years. Only those in the Spirit Transformation Stage and above can enter..." Ling Mochen took out the information jade slip and began to read.
"Yes! It's very suitable for us. This is the secret realm that I carefully selected. I guess those disciples of the Holy Academy also came here for this secret realm." Yan Qingyan said excitedly.
Influenced by Ye Feichen, she also began to like looking for some secret places that suit her current situation. Retreat cannot reveal the future, and tempering is the fastest and most solid way to practice.
Ling Mochen nodded and continued to look at the jade slip.
"How is it? Is there anything I need to pay attention to? I have already bought all the self-defense weapons on the list." Yan Qingyan asked with her head tilted.
Ling Mochen frowned slightly and said calmly: "We still need two more tokens."
"Token?"
"Yes, there are two ways to enter the Tianxuan Secret Realm. One is to enter directly when the entrance to the secret realm is open, but the number of places is limited, and you cannot enter without a certain background and identity. The second is to use a token. Those holding the token can be teleported at any time."
"What a hassle." Yan Qingyan frowned. There is actually a quota limit in the secret realm?
What is the difference between this and the private secret realm enclosed by a large sect?
It’s not as good as the Five Source Secret Realm on her Xuan Gan Continent, where as many people as want can go.
The big sects don't dare to stop too many cultivators.
Ling Mochen also found it troublesome. Most of the secret realms in Tianxuan Continent had restrictions. The secret realms that independent cultivators could visit were filled with fierce fighting and violence, and the good secret realms were mostly monopolized by major forces.
"Most of the places in the Tianxuan Secret Realm are allocated by the Holy Academy, and most of the tokens are in the hands of the Holy Academy. Qingyan, we need to find two scattered tokens in the next few days."
"Haha~ It's the Holy Court again."
Yan Qingyan was speechless. How could everything be related to the Holy Academy?
"The Holy Academy is doing the hard work of sealing the Demon Abyss, and most of the disciples within the sect are geniuses with excellent qualifications. It's not surprising that the current situation has emerged." Ling Mochen said calmly.
"Demon Abyss? Does that thing really need to be sealed?" Yan Qingyan asked with a frown.
Whenever she heard the word "Moyuan", she always had a bad feeling.
During this period of time, she has roughly understood what the Demon Abyss is.
According to legend, hundreds of thousands of years ago, there was no Demon Abyss in the Tianxuan Continent. Of course, the concentration of spiritual energy in the continent was not as rich as it is today.
Perhaps in order to make the continent more suitable for cultivation, and to make the Tianxuan Continent, the center of the Tianxuan Realm, more like a holy place for cultivating immortals, the first leader of the Holy Academy had a bold idea.
That is...
Refine the spiritual energy of the continent, seal the separated turbid air, make the spiritual energy purer and richer, and make the sealed area the 'garbage dump' of the continent, carrying all the filth.
The Lord of the Holy Academy at that time thought that someone would be able to come up with a way to purify the separated turbid air, but he did not expect that hundreds of years, thousands of years, tens of thousands of years or even hundreds of thousands of years would pass... and the way to control the turbid air was still to seal it!
As a result, just as it is now, the Tianxuan Continent has, on the surface, become the prosperous holy land of immortal cultivation as the founder of the Holy Academy wished.
But that sealed place has also become the famous Demon Abyss today.
