As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth circulated, the azure energy completely enveloped Elder Mo.
At this moment, it seemed that Elder Mo was undergoing a transformation, and his life essence, which was about to be depleted, was being rapidly replenished.
His originally aged face began to look younger at a visible speed.
Seeing Mo Lao's transformation, Qin Xin breathed a sigh of relief. This meant that Mo Lao would no longer be troubled by the Senluo Death Seal and would be able to advance from the Yuanfu Realm to the Xudan Realm.
Under this transformation, many of Mo Lao's hidden ailments were directly resolved, and with the formation of his inner world, Mo Lao's lifespan was greatly extended.
The entire breakthrough process was as natural as water flowing into a channel. Only after several streams of azure energy, constantly circulating, directly entered Elder Mo's dantian did the chaotic spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the entire Hunting Garden Secret Realm finally quiet down.
"Oh? Qin Xin?"
When Old Mo slowly opened his eyes, he was slightly surprised to find Qin Xin standing in front of him.
He only remembered entering the hunting park's secret realm and beginning his secluded cultivation; he knew nothing about what happened afterward.
Upon waking up this time, not only was the Senluo Death Seal completely removed, but he also benefited from the misfortune and directly entered the Void Core Realm, which was a pleasant surprise for Elder Mo.
Seeing Mo Lao's surprised expression, Qin Xin respectfully replied, "Mo Lao, the Senluo Death Seal has been completely removed. You no longer need to be troubled by this thing."
"I never imagined that your strength would grow so great in just a few years." Qian Qianlan said.
Old Mo also knew the terror of the Senluo Death Seal. After looking Qin Xin up and down, a look of shock appeared in his old eyes.
"Good! Good! Good!"
"If the old patriarch and the young master knew that the young master had achieved such success, they would surely be very happy!"
Mo Lao's face immediately lit up with joy.
Upon hearing what Elder Mo said, Qin Xin immediately followed up with, "Elder Mo, do you know anything about my father and grandfather?"
Old Mo's expression faltered slightly, as if he was reluctant to talk about these things.
His mouth opened slightly, as if he were deep in thought.
Qin Xin stood aside without rushing, but waited patiently.
After a long silence, Old Master Mo sighed softly as his expression shifted, "Alas, so be it. Young Master Qin Xiao once said something before he left."
"If your talent is mediocre, then you can spend your old age in peace in the Tianyuan Qin Clan. These things cannot be told to you."
“Now that you have such talent, it’s no less than your father’s, so telling you this isn’t going against his wishes.”
Old Mo slowly began to recount his story.
After Mo Lao paused, Qin Xin immediately asked, "Zhou Lei, the city lord of Kuye City, said that my father and grandfather went to a place called the Immortal Palace Ruins. Where is that?"
"You've met Zhou Lei?" Old Mo exclaimed softly, then seemed to understand something and said, "That makes sense, since you have to pass through the City of Withered Leaves to get to Central Continent."
"Zhou Lei was implicated in your father's affair back then, which is why he is now guarding the city of withered leaves."
"Back when your grandfather was still in Zhongzhou, the Qin clan of Tianque City did not distinguish between the royal family and collateral branches."
"If we're talking about blood ties, the Tianyuan City lineage can be considered the true lineage of the Qin clan."
"The current patriarch of the Qin clan in Tianque City is just a woman from the royal family born to an outsider. Because of her high talent, she was exceptionally admitted into the Qin clan."
"But the result was infuriating. After your grandfather disappeared, that guy, along with some clan elders, was elected as the new clan leader."
"When Young Master Qin Xiao saw his clansmen being persecuted by that person, and you were still young at the time, he didn't want to see you in such a dangerous situation. So, he had no choice but to lead his clansmen to the Eastern Wilderness and return to Tianyuan City, the ancestral home of the Qin clan."
"After everything was settled in the Qin Clan of Tianyuan City, Young Master Qin Xiao took me away from Tianyuan City. The dangers of this journey were unpredictable, so before leaving, I entrusted you to you, Qin Lin."
Old Mo recounted the past in a calm tone, as if lost in memories. Qin Xin stood aside without interrupting, afraid of disturbing his thoughts.
"When you later awakened your martial bone, it was a great joy for the Qin clan of Tianyuan City."
"At that time, I was troubled by the Senluo Death Seal and was in seclusion, so I was unaware of your awakening of martial bones."
"As for what happened afterward, you already know that yourself."
"After I learned that Qin Hao had forcibly removed your martial bone, I was filled with immense hatred. However, the old patriarch of the Qin clan possessed the strength of the Earth Profound Realm, which was far beyond what we could contend with."
"In the end, Qin Lin and I had no choice but to hand over what we obtained from the ruins of that immortal palace in order to save your life."
Hearing this, Qin Xin finally understood why Qin Haotian and the others hadn't killed him directly but had instead sent him back to Tianyuan City. It turned out that all of this was because Old Mo had exchanged something for him.
Qin Xin had also found the rumors circulating within the clan somewhat strange, but given the significant importance of the Immortal Palace ruins, revealing them to outsiders would not be beneficial for the Qin clan of Tianyuan City.
"By the way, speaking of the ruins of that celestial palace, I strongly advise you not to go there!"
As they were talking, Elder Mo suddenly became serious, and then said in a somewhat hurried tone, "This Immortal Palace Ruins is said to have been the place where immortals lived in ancient times."
"After cultivating here, one can reach the upper realm."
"However, due to a great war that took place in ancient times, much information about this celestial palace has been erased, with only a few brief records in some ancient books."
"In order to break through to a higher realm, the old patriarch risked his life to step into it and never came out again."
"When I accompanied Young Master Qin Xiao there, I almost perished in several places just outside the Immortal Palace ruins. If it weren't for Young Master Qin Xiao's protection, I would probably have died long ago."
"Because the journey ahead would be even more treacherous, and I was already troubled by the Senluo Death Seal, Young Master Qin Xiao had me leave with some things I obtained from the Immortal Palace ruins and the jade pendant fragment I gave you earlier."
“I waited for nearly a year outside the ruins of that immortal palace, but there was no trace of Young Master Qin Xiao.”
"The Senluo Death Seal within my body was about to erupt, so I hurriedly returned to Tianyuan City in the Eastern Wilderness to cultivate in seclusion."
After hearing Elder Mo's account, Qin Xin gained some understanding of the Immortal Palace, and also learned about the descriptions in the mysterious fragment of the map.
He speculated that this celestial palace ruins were likely the passage connecting the upper realm and this world in ancient times, but it is probably already destroyed.
"The Upper Realm?"
Qin Xin had a lot of thoughts running through his mind.
