After consolidating her cultivation, Lin Qian did not slack off in the slightest. She knew that time was of the essence, and the next opportunity awaited her, which she had to seize. After careful consideration, Lin Qian decided to go to Elder Qingxuan and try to gain the qualification to enter the small secret realm for training.
Lin Qian strode confidently to Elder Qingxuan's residence. The small courtyard was tranquil and peaceful, the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees exuding a faint spiritual energy that soothed the mind and spirit. Lin Qian took a deep breath to calm herself, then gently knocked on the door.
"Come in." Elder Qingxuan's calm and gentle voice came from inside the room.
Lin Qian pushed open the door and entered the room. She saw Elder Qingxuan sitting at the table, holding an ancient book in his hand, his eyes deep and serene. Lin Qian respectfully bowed and said, "Disciple Lin Qian greets Elder Qingxuan."
Elder Qingxuan put down the ancient book in his hand, looked at Lin Qian with concern in his eyes, and asked, "Lin Qian, you have just successfully established your foundation. How do you feel?"
Lin Qian straightened up and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Elder. I feel that my cultivation has become much more stable, my spiritual energy is circulating smoothly, and I have no discomfort."
Elder Qingxuan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good. But what brings you here today?"
Lin Qian looked at Elder Qingxuan with a determined gaze and said, "Elder, I have heard of a place called the Purple Cloud Secret Realm, which opens once every fifty years. Disciples below the Golden Core stage can enter it for training. I know this is a rare opportunity, so I would like to request that you grant me the qualification to enter the Purple Cloud Secret Realm."
Elder Qingxuan frowned slightly, his expression turning serious. He said, "Lin Qian, do you know that the Purple Cloud Secret Realm is no ordinary place? It is fraught with danger, filled with unknown challenges and perils. You have just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and your foundation is not yet fully stable. Entering it could very well lead to a life-or-death crisis, or even your very soul perishes. Have you really thought this through?"
Lin Qian answered without hesitation, “Elder, I understand the dangers involved. But I believe that the path of cultivation is inherently full of hardships and challenges. If I retreat because I am afraid of danger, I will never become a true strongman. The opportunity in the Purple Cloud Secret Realm is of utmost importance to me. I am willing to take the risk and humbly request that you grant me this opportunity, Elder.”
Elder Qingxuan looked at Lin Qian's determined eyes and couldn't help but feel worried. He knew Lin Qian was a disciple with potential, but the dangers of the Purple Cloud Secret Realm were indeed not to be underestimated. He pondered for a moment and said, "Lin Qian, the dangers in the Purple Cloud Secret Realm far exceed your imagination. There are not only powerful demonic beasts there, but also various complex formations and traps. Moreover, the environment in the secret realm is extremely harsh. A slight mistake could lead to losing your way and falling into a deadly situation. You have just successfully established your foundation, and your strength is not yet strong enough. Entering it could very well cost you a heavy price."
Lin Qian listened to Elder Qingxuan's words without the slightest hesitation. She said, "Elder, I know you are thinking of my safety, but I have made full preparations. I will work hard to cultivate and improve my strength in the next two months. At the same time, I will also make preparations to deal with all kinds of dangers and will never take any risks lightly."
Elder Qingxuan sighed and said, "Alright, since you are so determined, I will give you this opportunity. But you must remember to always be vigilant after entering the Purple Cloud Secret Realm and never let your guard down. If you encounter danger, you must retreat immediately and never be reckless. There are still two months before the Purple Cloud Secret Realm opens, so you must cultivate diligently during this time."
Lin Qian was overjoyed and quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Elder! This disciple will definitely work harder and live up to your expectations."
After returning to her residence, Lin Qian communicated with 003 in her mind.
“Master, that Purple Cloud Secret Realm is no simple matter. The original owner of this world failed there in the last life, but I believe you can definitely do it!” 003 replied, his tone full of confidence in Lin Qian.
At this moment, 003 added, "Master, the opportunity in the Purple Cloud Secret Realm originally belonged to the female protagonist Ye Lingxi in her previous life. She ascended to the upper realm with the help of a divine beast from a Azure Dragon egg. Our purpose in going to this secret realm this time is to seize this opportunity. That way, you can also possess a powerful divine beast."
Legend has it that after Ye Lingxi obtained the Azure Dragon egg, the Azure Dragon played a significant role in her cultivation. The Azure Dragon possesses immense strength and an unyielding defense; its scales are like indestructible armor, capable of withstanding most attacks. When Ye Lingxi faces a powerful foe, the Azure Dragon will step forward, using its power and majesty to intimidate the enemy. The Azure Dragon's might can instill fear in enemies, thereby weakening their fighting ability.
Furthermore, the Azure Dragon possesses the ability to manipulate the forces of nature. It can summon wind and rain, and unleash lightning, creating favorable conditions for Ye Lingxi in battle. At the same time, the Azure Dragon's existence also allows Ye Lingxi to gain a deeper understanding of the power of heaven and earth, greatly enhancing the power of her magic.
Seeing that Ye Lingxi was able to ascend to the upper realm with the help of the Azure Dragon, Lin Qian secretly made up her mind: "I must be the first to obtain this divine beast egg in the small secret realm. It would be best if it were willing to acknowledge me as its master, but if it is not, I will eat it. In any case, I cannot let such a treasure fall into the hands of the female lead, Ye Lingxi."
"Eat it? Host, this is the egg of the divine beast Azure Dragon! It's such a waste to eat it!" 003's tone was full of surprise, followed by a hint of worry, "Host, since you came to this cultivation world, you've become so fierce. This isn't like you at all!"
"Hmph, what good is a powerful divine beast that doesn't acknowledge me as its master? Otherwise, I could just give it to Ye Lingxi to annoy me. Besides, in my eyes, it's just an egg. Isn't it better to eat it and absorb its power than to make it acknowledge someone else as its master?" Lin Qian said dismissively.
