Chapter 283
The Sword Sect's Myriad Life Secret Realm is located at the northernmost part of the Immortal Realm.
Elder Liu, sitting in the hall, flipped through the list of people from the mortal realm in his hand and couldn't help but sigh:
"This human realm is truly desolate."
Currently, the number of human disciples below, even including those with medium-level spiritual roots, is only three or four hundred.
Zhang, the steward sitting beside him, leaned over and took a look:
"If the human realm is like this, how can the six realms be at peace?" Zhang sighed, then thought of something else.
"Elder Liu, in recent days, it has been widely reported among the disciples of the sect that your disciple Yue Qing has already mastered the ninth sword of the Falling Dust Sword Technique. Her path to immortality is truly boundless."
"I've heard that Lili has made rapid progress in recent years."
Elder Liu, upon hearing Zhang's words, thought of his two disciples and felt deeply gratified.
"The two of them have practiced swordsmanship diligently for many years and have achieved some success."
The two were talking.
At this moment, a figure in cyan robes walked in from outside the hall. Upon seeing this newcomer, the elders of the Sword Sect all rose and performed the celestial salute.
"Elder Qingzhu."
"Elder Qingzhu."
Qingzhu nodded in acknowledgment. Although he was not tall, he had a dignified expression, and when he looked at the crowd, there was an inexplicable sense of looking down on them.
Upon his arrival, the elders in the hall sat up straight.
"The Myriad Realms of Life are about to open."
"This time, I will also have to trouble you all." Qingzhu sat in the main seat, her eyes sweeping over the group of elders.
"I have driven away all the ferocious beasts in the secret realm. For the time being, only the Heart Refining Hall, the Heartless Sea, and the Ten Thousand Silence Temple Cave will be open in the secret realm."
The Hall of Connected Hearts and the Sea of Heartlessness are both places for tempering the mind and soul, making them suitable for disciples from the human realm.
Only the Manji Temple Cave...
"Elder Qingzhu, the Wanji Temple Cave has been sealed for tens of millions of years. Although it was once just a place for cultivating mental techniques."
"But since the great war, this place has been deserted."
"Is it inappropriate to start it now?" Elder Liu asked, and several other elders naturally agreed with his opinion.
The person in the main seat scoffed:
"Elder Liu, there's no need to worry. Before I came, I had already gone to check it out. The Wanji Temple Cave was mostly destroyed by the palace that fell from the God Realm back then."
"Now, opening the Wanji Temple Cave is merely to guide those disciples to seek the Great Dao of the Six Realms."
"Very well then." Elder Liu could only remain silent.
Elder Liu glanced at Qingzhu, who was seated in the main seat of the hall, and felt a sense of unease.
This Elder Qingzhu is a senior member of the Sword Sect who has been in seclusion for many years. It is said that he has already cultivated to the Void Realm and is at a level that can rival the Qingjian Daoist of yesteryear.
After the passing of Daoist Qingjian, Elder Qingzhu went into seclusion.
After the Immortal Venerable traveled through the Six Realms, Elder Qingzhu appeared in the Sword Sect and has been in charge of the sect's affairs ever since.
Although Elder Liu had not yet had any dealings with this Grand Elder, he could tell that the other party did not seem to have a kind temperament.
"Gentlemen, do you have any further objections?" Qingzhu looked at the group of immortals below the prince.
"I will follow the Elder's arrangements."
The elders bowed, expressing their stance.
After Qingzhu left, Zhang, the steward, who was not far away, secretly spoke up:
"Elder Liu, why bring up the Wanji Temple Cave?" Zhang, the steward, wore a simple robe. Although he wasn't one to gossip, he still offered a word of advice because he admired Elder Liu's character.
“The things Elder Qingzhu has decided are beyond the control of people like you and me.”
Elder Liu glanced at the now empty main seat in the hall and still voiced his concerns:
"The Wanji Temple Cave, though mostly destroyed, is still a place after all..."
Seeing the sorrow in Elder Liu's expression, Zhang, the steward, then heard him speak:
"It is the place with the most deaths and injuries in the Immortal Realm Trials."
Zhang nodded. He had also seen similar records and remembered that this trial site was mentioned: "I remember that the Sword Sect's records stated that it was a trial of immortal sects not long after the great battle."
"The trials of the various sects in the Immortal Realm will take place in the Wanji Temple Cave within the secret realm."
"Yes." Elder Liu nodded.
"What exactly happened that time?" Chief Zhang asked, as the file did not record details.
Elder Liu slowly said, "I also heard Qingjian Daoist mention it back then. That year, the Immortal Realm Trial Grounds were chosen to be the Wanji Temple Cave. The original intention was to let the disciples of the Immortal Sect sense the power of divine sense through the fallen palace of the God Realm."
"You mean, the Wanji Temple Cave possesses divine power?"
"It must have been brought from the palace that fell from the divine realm, which is why the Sword Sect agreed to that trial at the time, but they never expected..." Elder Liu paused before suppressing his grief and indignation.
"Nearly a thousand disciples of the immortal sect."
"The immortal roots have all disappeared."
Upon hearing this, Zhang, the steward, almost couldn't recover: "The immortal root is gone...?"
Elder Liu continued, "The immortal vein determines one's immortal destiny, the immortal soul enters the cycle of reincarnation, and the immortal root is the source of cultivation that those disciples have condensed throughout their lives."
In cultivation, the most important thing is one's innate talent for spiritual growth.
If one's immortal roots are of superior quality, then naturally one's path of cultivation will be broad.
"What exactly happened..." Manager Zhang's thoughts were still lingering on the events of that year, but Elder Liu's words sent a chill down his spine once more:
"What if what happened back then happens again?"
"You and I are both sinners."
A chill suddenly ran down Zhang's spine.
These 362 disciples from the human realm were carefully selected from among thousands of people, possessing superior spiritual roots.
If they run into trouble in the immortal realm.
The mortal realm naturally held the immortal realm accountable, but the fate of these disciples...
The more Zhang thought about it, the colder his spine became.
He looked up and saw Elder Liu walking away, so he hurriedly chased after him.

The Imperial Palace.
Si Baixue hasn't appeared by Yingning's side these past few days; it seems she was furious that day.
As soon as Yingning left the palace, she bumped into Ji Liang in the courtyard. He looked around and saw that there was no one behind her, so he spoke to Yingning, which was quite unusual.
"Where is your little servant?" someone asked, stammering.
Bah, he would never say anything about a little slave.
"how?"
"You care about him so much?" Ying Ning lowered her head slightly, and her gaze met Ji Liang's.
"What...what are you doing!" Ji Liang was startled by her scrutinizing gaze and immediately took a step back.
"strangeness."
"I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."
"I feel like I've seen this somewhere before."
"Were you a ferocious beast in your past life?" Ying Ning asked deliberately, and her words clearly frightened him, causing him to take a few steps back.
"How...how did you know?!"
As soon as Ji Liang finished speaking, he immediately covered his mouth.
etc...
Why should he admit it?
"You're really lucky to have survived until now." Ying Ning shrugged and walked towards the gate of the Chen Palace without turning around.
"Let's go."
"The Myriad Realms of Life are about to open."
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” Her voice echoed through the palace, reaching only Ji Liang.
The latter put his hand down.
He immediately followed.
The Myriad Realms Trial Grounds have opened, and those within are usually disciples from the Immortal Realm whose cultivation is still shallow.
Indeed, it's a good place to hide.
