"If I, Qin Chuan, betray Sheng Ning, betray all living beings, and become a lackey of the demon race, then let the Heavenly Dao shatter my spiritual root and make me suffer a terrible death."
The deep voice, accompanied by a white light illuminating the speaker's brow, demonstrated Qin Chuan's determination.
Seeing that he dared to make such a solemn oath, Qi Wenyao finally felt relieved.
No longer worried about being betrayed by Qin Chuan, he immediately jogged forward, put one hand on the other's shoulder, and started chatting with him as if they were good brothers.
"lay down."
The indifferent tone of his voice startled Qi Wenyao for a moment.
Realizing that Qin Chuan didn't want to get close to him, he curled his lip and snorted, "What's with the arrogance? This young master doesn't even want to get close to you."
After saying that, he ran back to Sheng Ning's side.
Although that's what he said, the resentment on his handsome face still betrayed his true feelings.
Sheng Ning took in this scene, a smile appearing on her face.
The location where the Taixu Sect hides its most treasured artifact is not exactly a secret, but it can only be considered a non-secret place for an inner disciple like Qin Chuan.
After descending the mountain and navigating several winding mountain paths, the group finally stopped in front of a grove of trees.
When Qi Wenyao saw Qin Chuan, who was leading the way, stop, he immediately said, "Why aren't we going any further? Besides, we could have easily descended on our swords just now, couldn't we?"
It had to take so long.
Although the higher a cultivator's cultivation level, the better their physical strength.
But if you can fly on a sword, why do you still need to walk?
Qin Chuan did not turn his head upon hearing this, "Sword control is not allowed within the territory of the Taixu Sect."
"There is an array here, Fellow Daoist Sheng, please wait a moment."
As he spoke, he turned and left, presumably to search for the core of the formation.
After he left, Qi Wenyao, with a smirk, mimicked his words, "Sword flight is prohibited within the territory of the Taixu Sect~"
"He's already withdrawn from the Taixu Sect on his own, why does he still care about so many rules?"
Su Daiyuan agreed with Qin Chuan's approach, saying, "No wonder Fellow Daoist Qin is so outstanding. I would also like such a personally taught disciple."
"Su Daiyuan, are you my brother or his brother? Why are you taking his side?!"
Seeing Qi Wenyao's embarrassed and annoyed expression, Su Daiyuan paused for a moment on his usually cold and stern face. "I'm just giving an objective evaluation."
Qi Wenyao, being childish, didn't care about being objective or not at the moment; he just couldn't stand Qin Chuan's self-righteous attitude.
He took in the embarrassed and annoyed look on his face.
Su Daiyuan's face showed a knowing look, "Is Young Master Qi retaliating for Fellow Daoist Qin ignoring you earlier?"
Caught red-handed, Qi Wenyao jumped up and down, shouting, "I didn't!"
After he finished jumping, he became even angrier.
Having made up his mind to ignore Su Daiyuan, he ran alone to a tree, grabbed a branch, and started drawing circles on the spot.
However, it was this unintentional act of his that led to this.
Qin Chuan, who had circled the woods twice without finding the array's core and finally returned to Sheng Ning's side in despair, was greatly surprised.
Nothing more.
As Qi Wenyao drew circles in place, the scene before them gradually changed from a forest to a bamboo grove.
The evening breeze rustled through the bamboo grove, and the friction between the bamboo leaves produced a soft, whispering sound.
Qin Chuan, whose face was usually almost expressionless, now had a thoughtful look on his face.
Qi Wenyao, who was still drawing circles and cursing everyone, was unaware of what had happened, let alone that his small action had broken the secret realm within the Taixu Sect.
“The sect leader changes the formation every time he returns, and I am not familiar with formations.”
Qin Chuan readily admitted his shortcomings.
He walked up to Qi Wenyao and said to the latter, "Young Master Qi, thank you."
Faced with Qin Chuan's complete change in attitude, Qi Wenyao raised his head and exclaimed "Ah!" His honest appearance was quite endearing.
He soon realized that something was wrong with his surroundings.
Gripping the branch in his hand tightly, he stood up and looked around. Finding himself in front of a bamboo forest, he exclaimed in surprise, "Is this a secret realm within the Taixu Sect?"
Qin Chuan nodded. "I came here once before with the sect leader. The sect leader said he would come here often to modify the formation."
"I circled the area twice just now but couldn't find a way to break the formation. I'm so grateful to Fellow Daoist Qi."
After being met with indifference, Qi Wenyao's eyes lit up.
He proudly raised his head, a soft snort escaping from his nose, "That's right, don't you even know who I am?"
"I am Yan Qingqing's son!"
"Yes, very strong."
Qin Chuan's words, "very strong," immediately made Qi Wenyao feel smug.
Sheng Ning and Su Daiyuan took in this scene. The two senior and junior siblings exchanged a glance, saw helplessness in each other's eyes, and then stepped forward.
"It's getting late, let's go."
The bamboo forest is vast, and according to Qin Chuan, no one has ever seen its true appearance.
This bamboo grove was also created by Rong Zhuo.
"Ordinary people can't get in, and even if they are lucky enough to get in, they can't get out."
Qin Chuan lowered his eyes and glanced at the corpse that had turned into white bones at his feet. "Many people used to know that the treasure of the Taixu Sect was a unique treasure in the world."
"Everyone wants this treasure, even if they have never seen what it is or what it looks like, they are determined to get it."
Unfortunately, each time they came, they never returned.
Sheng Ning picked up where he left off, "Now that we're in, we won't be unable to get out later, will we?"
Qin Chuan paused, "I'm not sure. I came in with the sect leader earlier."
"You must have seen the treasures inside before, right?" Qi Wenyao asked him.
"I don't know either."
Qin Chuan's answer made Qi Wenyao click his tongue. The latter's features scrunched up, and he reached out to brush aside the bamboo leaves in front of him. "You don't even know this? What were you doing here in the first place?"
"The spiritual energy here is abundant, making it an ideal place to break through to a higher level."
Su Daiyuan's words made Qin Chuan nod slightly, "At that time, I was in a bottleneck period, and the sect leader happened to know about this, so he brought me here."
It's unclear how Rong Zhuo arranged the formation.
The spiritual energy within this formation far surpasses that of the outside world; even the spiritual energy in the Northern Region is not as pure and abundant.
Furthermore, the closer they went to the center, the denser the spiritual energy became.
Sheng Ning and the others came from barren lands, and when they suddenly felt such pure and rich spiritual energy, their spiritual roots became active.
"If the Heavenly Pillar weren't in danger of collapsing at any moment, and if the Demon Clan weren't attacking, I would really like to stay here for a year or two. My cultivation would definitely make a great breakthrough."
"No wonder the disciples of the Taixu Sect have such high cultivation levels. It turns out there is such a treasure land. It's just a pity that Rong Zhuo is dead. We can't capture our fourth junior brother to discuss with him how this formation was set up."
The voices of the two senior and junior disciples, speaking in harmony, reached the ears of Qin Chuan and Qi Wenyao.
As the spiritual energy around them grew stronger, a dilapidated hut appeared before them.
"The sect leader's most prized treasure of the Taixu Sect is inside," Qin Chuan said in a deep voice, pointing to the small house.
