The moment the branch was inserted, Song Xia and Song Luo were suddenly teleported away. When they opened their eyes again, they saw a world filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.
"This doesn't seem like a secret realm." Song Luo looked at the sky in astonishment. "It's more like another small world."
“That’s right, little ones.” A cheerful voice rang in their ears again.
"Old man?"
"No, although you look alike, you are still different. What's going on?"
"The people you are meeting are members of our Li family in another world. I have been waiting for you here for a long time."
"Do you have any instructions?"
"First of all, congratulations. This is the place where the Qingyang Immortal left his legacy. Secondly, I regret to inform you that the Qingyang Immortal did not leave any secret treasures or classic texts in this world. This world is inhabited only by mortals. Furthermore, after arriving here, you only have one chance to leave, and once you leave, you can never come back in."
"What?" Song Luo was somewhat disappointed. "Then does that mean we can't defeat Qin Taiming and the others?"
"There is still a chance, but it depends on yourselves."
Song Xia cupped his hands in greeting: "Please enlighten me, sir."
"A year here is a day there, do you understand?"
"I understand!" Song Luo's eyes sparkled. What he lacked most right now was time, and cultivating here for a hundred years would only take a hundred days on the Qingyang Continent. Wasn't this the greatest treasure?
"Then may I ask, sir, if we can cultivate here?"
"Sure, few people know about this place. But why don't you go and explore the surrounding cities? Although there are no cultivators here, it's much more developed than over there. Even without cultivators, people here are happier than ordinary people over there."
"No, cultivation is more important. But was this continent also created by the Immortal Qingyang?"
"I suppose so. Back then, when the Immortal Qingyang was nearing the end of his life, he looked at the devastated continent and regretted it deeply. So he used his remaining cultivation to open a passage to this continent. It's just a pity that he couldn't bring many mortals with him back then. The Immortal Qingyang was still regretting it before he died."
"Is there a place nearby where I can worship the Immortal Qingyang?"
"Immortal Qingyang said there was no need to make a special effort to worship him, so there is no tomb for him. If you are so inclined, it doesn't matter where you worship him."
"Thank you, sir."
"I have told you what you wanted to know, and it is time for you to leave. When you want to leave, just come to this address to find me. But remember one thing: after you go back, you must not reveal the existence of this place to the people of Qingyang Continent. This is also the instruction of the Qingyang Immortal."
"Don't worry, sir, we will definitely comply."
"Alas... Immortal Qingyang once said that this was his last attempt to save the Qingyang Continent..."
After seeing the person off, Song Xia and Song Luo were filled with emotion, never expecting that the Immortal Qingyang would have considered everything so thoroughly.
The mother and son dared not delay. Although the spiritual energy here was not as abundant as that of Qingyang Continent, they had the little Qilin, whose secret realm contained countless rare and precious materials for their cultivation.
Meanwhile, after Qin Taiming was surrounded and lost consciousness, he was furious and vented all his emotions on the cultivators present. That day, blood flowed like a river, and half of the cultivators died. In the end, those people were so frightened that they tried to escape.
"He doesn't deserve to be called Sword Master at all, he's a devil! Sect Leader, you must avenge our senior brothers and sisters!"
"They're all dead, Patriarch. I'm the only one who escaped from our family. My eldest brother was still shielding his disciples from swords before he died... Waaah..."
"We just wanted him to share the immortal's legacy, but he didn't care about our relationship with Tianyuan Sect at all. He was too ruthless. Elder Yue didn't even have time to give his last words."
Qin Taiming's massacres aroused public anger, and the forces that suffered heavy casualties put pressure on Tianyuan Sect.
Xiang Hengguang was furious. If Qin Taiming had brought back the inheritance, that would have been fine, but he had also lost contact with Qin Taiming. How was he supposed to deal with these sects?
"Sect Master, it's no use even if he comes back." An elder dragged his crippled arm back. "He didn't even spare the people of our sect."
"What?!" Xiang Hengguang slammed his hand on the table and stood up. "He obtained the inheritance, and now he doesn't even recognize the sect anymore?"
"Have you forgotten that he's the kind of person who would even kill his own only disciple? He's so cold-blooded, what feelings could he possibly have for the sect?"
Xiang Hengguang's expression remained unchanged. So all these years of support have been in vain?
At this moment, a steward rushed in and reported in a panic: "Sect Master, something bad has happened. Because of Peak Master Qin, many sects have canceled their cooperation with our Tianyuan Sect. They have even seized several of our spiritual veins, saying that this compensation is not enough and they will continue to demand more from us."
"This is outrageous!"
The elders advised him, "Why not take this opportunity to expel Qin Taiming from the sect? He won't share any achievements with the sect anyway. On the contrary, the sect has suffered a lot because of him over the years. What use is he?"
"Sect Master, make up your mind. If this continues, the sect can't afford to keep going."
Xiang Hengguang took a deep breath: "I'm afraid that after we expel him from the sect, he'll come back and cause trouble for the sect!"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent again, as there really was such a possibility.
"If we don't deal with him, we can't afford the losses our sect will suffer. I hereby declare that from this day forward, Qin Taiming will no longer be an elder of the Tianyuan Sect. He has no further connection with the Tianyuan Sect. Any Tianyuan Sect disciple we encounter shall be killed on the spot."
Of course, everyone knows that none of the people in the Tianyuan Sect are a match for Qin Taiming. The last sentence is just to make the attitude of the Tianyuan Sect clearer.
After he posted this notice, the various factions were quite sympathetic to the Tianyuan Sect.
Everyone knows that Tianyuan Sect has made a lot of sacrifices over the years to keep Qin Taiming in check, but after Qin Taiming became famous, he did not bring much benefit to Tianyuan Sect. On the contrary, because of him, Tianyuan Sect lost a lot of talent and resources.
Tsk, it's better to have no elders like that.
Therefore, cultivating talent cannot only look at innate ability, but also at character and sense of belonging to the sect.
Out of sympathy for the Tianyuan Sect, and given the sect's clear stance, no one continued to target them. However, after this incident, the Tianyuan Sect could no longer be called the number one sect in the world.
However, the disciples within the Tianyuan Sect breathed a sigh of relief, because from now on, they would no longer need to support Jianfeng with the resources they had worked so hard to earn.
Although the Tianyuan Sect's reputation and status on the mainland will decline in the future, the benefits they will gain are substantial!
There were also disciples who, unable to contain their anger, had once tried their best to please Qin Taiming and Qin Xiuyang. With nowhere to vent their rage, they directly scattered Qin Xiuyang's remains. When Xiang Chengyuan found out, he only gave them a symbolic warning.
From now on, Xiang Chengyuan will no longer have to live in Qin Xiuyang's shadow, and his father can sit more securely in his position as sect leader.
