Chapter 338 I have the key to open the passage

After listening to Murong Xue's introduction, Yun Chen was so shocked that he was speechless.

Unexpectedly, this secret realm of practicing magic was not as simple as I imagined.

"I heard you are from the secular world?"

At this time, Murong Xue suddenly changed the subject, looked at Yun Chen and asked a question.

Yun Chen was stunned and nodded.

Gu Hong had mentioned this matter before when he was in Qingyun Sect. Although Murong Xue was not present at the time, it was not surprising that she knew about it given the ability of Tianji Pavilion.

"What is the secular world like now?"

Hearing Yun Chen's admission, Murong Xue immediately became interested.

She grew up in a secret realm of cultivation, and her knowledge of the secular world was still limited to the records in the classics.

"It's quite different from the Secret Realm of Cultivation. There are no cultivators there, no spiritual energy... only warriors, but most of them are ordinary people..."

Yun Chen responded casually, with a look of loneliness on his face.

I've been away from this world for so long, I don't know how my master and my sisters are doing...

And Aunt Mu, Aunt Qin...

"Without spiritual energy, how did you cultivate?"

Murong Xue's eyes were filled with curiosity, and she leaned forward slightly. "Without spiritual energy, it's difficult for a cultivator to even draw the energy into the body. How did you embark on the path of cultivation in the first place?"

Being able to cultivate to the Golden Elixir and attract the Nine-fold Thunder Tribulation is something that very few people can do in the secret realm of cultivation with rich spiritual energy, let alone in the secular world without spiritual energy.

Yun Chen clenched his fingertips, lowered his eyes to look at the tea leaves floating at the bottom of the cup, and spoke softly: "In the secular world, there is the martial arts. First, you train your muscles, bones, skin and flesh, and then you gather your internal energy. That's how I started practicing..."

"Using martial arts to enter Taoism? No wonder."

Murong Xue looked at Yun Chen thoughtfully and nodded.

In ancient times, there were indeed monks who used martial arts to achieve enlightenment, but it was very difficult.

It often requires extremely high talent and understanding. Similarly, people who enter the martial arts world generally have high combat effectiveness and can fight against opponents of higher levels.

No wonder Yun Chen can possess such high combat power in the Jindan stage.

That makes sense.

Murong Xue twisted the edge of the teacup with her fingertips, wondering what she was thinking about.

Seeing this, Yun Chen didn't say anything else.

The three of them just sat in silence. The sound of the wind outside the spirit boat came through the side of the ship, accompanied by the subtle hum of spiritual power when the spirit gathering array was running, making the cabin seem particularly quiet.

On the other side, in the main hall of Taixu Palace, sandalwood curled around the beams and pillars, and on the first seat in the hall.

The head of the sect, Lin Xuantong, sat cross-legged, with a look of majesty between his brows. He was dressed in black, with black hair like ink. His face was handsome but cold, giving people a feeling that he was difficult to approach.

Below him, Qingxuzi stood respectfully. Beside him, the Gu family father and son knelt on the ground, trembling and not daring to breathe.

"Is this the person you brought back to me?"

Lin Xuantong looked at the two people below with an indifferent expression, showing no joy or anger, but the invisible pressure he released made Gu Hong and Gu Fengyang's hearts suddenly tighten.

"Master, according to Wan'er, these two have a life-and-death feud with Yun Chen. As long as we capture them, Yun Chen will naturally come to claim them."

Qingxuzi quickly answered.

"Wan'er said that?"

Lin Xuantong frowned slightly, then nodded. "Yun Chen has incredible talent and possesses the Primordial Chaos Pearl. We absolutely cannot let another sect snatch it away... Send someone to spread the word. Also... have someone keep an eye on Yun Chen and report any news immediately."

"I've already had the news spread. Also... I've asked Chu He and Wan'er to keep an eye on Lingxiao City. That guy is friends with Wan'er, so if we find him, it won't be a problem for Wan'er to bring him back."

Lin Xuantong tapped his fingertips lightly on the black iron table in front of him, his eyes fixed on the trembling Gu father and son. His tone was emotionless, "Send someone to keep an eye on these two. Don't let them die before we find Yun Chen..."

"Yes!"

Qingxuzi bowed in response.

Gu Hong, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled violently when he heard this. He looked up at Lin Xuantong and pleaded in his voice, "Master Lin, please let us go. I have important intelligence to report..."

"Ok?"

Lin Xuantong glanced up at Gu Hong. The tapping of his fingertips suddenly stopped, and the air in the hall seemed to freeze. "Important information? Tell me, what information is worthy of me letting you go?"

Gu Hong clenched his fists tightly, cold sweat oozing from his forehead, but he didn't dare hesitate for a moment: "It's...it's about the secular world."

"Mundane?"

"Yes, I have the key to open the passage to the secular world." Gu Hong said quickly.

"Yun Chen captured my daughter in exchange for the key to the secular world. As long as you release us, I am willing to hand over the key."

"The key to the secular world?" Lin Xuantong's tone finally showed a slight wavering tone. He leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on Gu Hong like a hawk: "Do you know the consequences of deceiving me?"

The secret realm for practicing magic has been isolated from the secular world for thousands of years, and the passage has been sealed as early as after the ancient war. Taoist sects of all generations have been looking for a way to reopen it. If there really is a key, its value is no less than attracting the nine-fold thunder tribulation Yunchen.

"I dare not lie."

Gu Hong seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and quickly spoke, telling about his trip to the secular world and how he got the key.

Lin Xuantong's fingertips hovered above the black iron table, his eyes fixed on Gu Hong.

"So, Yun Chen came to you just to get the key?"

"That's right!"

"Then once I get the key... will Yun Chen find Taixu Palace by himself?" Lin Xuantong said with his eyes flashing.

"Yes!" Gu Hong quickly replied, "As long as the Sect Leader can let us go..."

"Let you go?"

Lin Xuantong shook his head: "Since I have the key, does it matter whether I let you go or not?"

"This..." Gu Hong was stunned when he heard this.

"Hand over the keys, and I can promise you that I will leave your body intact." Lin Xuantong said lightly.

Gu Hong's face instantly turned pale as paper, his body softened and he almost collapsed to the ground. He cried, "Master Lin! You can't go back on your word! I told you about the key, and you promised to spare our lives!"

"Agree?" Lin Xuantong sneered, his fingertips flickering with spiritual power, and an invisible pressure instantly enveloped Gu Hong and his son. "I only said 'I want to hear the information'. When did I ever promise to spare you?"

"you……!"

Gu Hong glared at Lin Xuantong, but did not dare to make any move.

"You can also refuse, but I guarantee that your end will be a hundred times more miserable than it is now. If you don't believe me, you can try..." Lin Xuantong restrained his pressure and spoke in a cold tone.

"The dignified head of Taixu Palace actually...doesn't keep his word...!"

Gu Hong's face was as pale as paper. He gritted his teeth and glared at Lin Xuantong fiercely. Then he said in a deep voice: "Even if you kill me, I will never tell you where the key is."

"I forgot to tell you that the key is not with me. I put it in a place where only I can find it. Kill me... and you will never know where the key is."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuantong couldn't help but reveal a meaningful smile on his face.

"is it?"

Lin Xuantong slowly walked in front of Gu Hong, and the sound of his boots rolling on the ground was particularly harsh in the silent hall.
