Chapter 548 The Great Secret

"What did I hide from you, Brother?" Qin Xuanyi asked softly, "I have already told you all about all these plans, including the arrangements for Xi Jing. The result is good, and that is enough."

"You did tell me everything about Xuanfeng Mansion."

Since the overall situation was at stake, Taoist Master Juntian not only did not expose the truth, he even took advantage of the situation and suppressed Taoist Master Qinghuang.

"So what else do you want me to tell you, brother?"

"Explain your selfishness. Wasn't what I did before also within your calculations? For your selfishness, even matters concerning the survival of the Qinghang Realm can be used as a raft or a ladder by you...Tuntian has only been dead for more than ten thousand years, and you have grown so much."

Qin Xuanyi's eyes flashed, but he didn't answer.

"You went through such a big detour just to force Yu Rong into the Hundred Thousand Mountains. You were even more anxious for her to break through the fourth level, so you put all the arrangements in advance. You also bribed the two old guys Kaishandao and Wuhoudao in advance to ensure that your plan could go smoothly."

It should be noted that as Rong Qing's master, it is very easy for Qin Xuanyi to give verbal hints. Whether Rong Qing goes to Kaishan Daowuhoudao to practice in the future or invites the two elders to come and teach, she cannot escape Qin Xuanyi's deliberate calculations.

"Even if the two of them fail, you still have other backup plans..." Juntian Daoist Master hadn't been so disappointed in a long time. Who said that this "betrayal" came from Qin Xuanyi, from his most beloved junior brother. "It's just because you have been stubborn. The past of Tianshun Daoist Master was glorious, but it was in the past! Qinghang Realm must continue to move forward. Yu Rong is a better seedling than Phoenix, and her speed of understanding the origin of the Dao is comparable to that of the nobles of the Zun Realm. And she is a disciple of my Juntian Dao Sect, and we can use her to regain the attention of the Zun Realm. But you... You pushed your own disciples out to die, just to let that scourge come back!"

Hearing this, Qin Xuanyi finally couldn't help but raise his eyes and glared at Daoist Juntian: "Senior Brother Tuntian is not a disaster! When he returns, with his Daoist master's qualifications, the first place in the sequence will be in his pocket. Whether it is to gain recognition from the Zun Realm or to improve the strength of the Qinghang Realm, what Senior Brother wants will be realized one by one, and there is no need to rely on a cultivator from the Mother Realm."

"You still think she is a lowly cultivator from the Mother Realm with no background who can be manipulated by you? Now she has hooked up with the Donglin Sect and has a very good relationship with His Highness Yuan Cheng..."

"Brother, don't worry. She is already in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. With the guidance of the Heaven-Swallowing Forbidden Law, she may have already entered the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Now that things have come to this, it is better to wait for Brother Heaven-Swallowing to return. It won't take long anyway. If she returns quickly, she can catch up with the attack on Xuanfeng Mansion and dampen the spirit of the Netherworld."

The implication was that he was extremely certain that the one who would return from the Hundred Thousand Mountains would be Heaven Devouring Daoist Master and not Rong Qing. Under the calm appearance was a madness that even the Heavenly Daoist Master Jun was frightened of.

"Incorrigible..."

Qin Xuanyi sneered, his eyes mocking and sarcastic.

"You will stay here and reflect on your mistakes. From now on, you will be relieved of all your duties."

"Please do as you wish, senior brother." Qin Xuanyi didn't want to say anything more.

Even if he is the only one on this road, he will go all the way to the end, and will not turn back even if his head is broken and bloody.

Feeling the space and time being tightened, Qin Xuanyi didn't care. He simply found an open place to sit cross-legged and closed his eyes.

The Lord of Juntian Dao wanted to seal him here, not only to restrain his body and soul, but also to isolate him from the time and space, making it difficult for him to even comprehend the origin of Dao. It was no different from being in a death row. But he didn't care. He had done what he should do, and the rest was to wait. And waiting... He had already waited for ten thousand years, and the moment now was nothing.

……

However, the Ten Thousand Mountains behind the Juntian Dao Gate were as quiet as ever.

Shiwandashan is indeed a beautiful place. The forests are lush and the mountains are continuous. There are gurgling streams at the foot of the mountain, and there are often pieces of colorful fallen leaves drifting on the water. Around noon, there are curls of smoke rising from the houses scattered on the mountainside.

It sounds incredible that there are mortals living in the secret realm of the spiritual world for countless generations, but it really exists in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Firstly, the spiritual energy is abundant and the products are rich, so mortals can survive by living on the mountain. Secondly, the monks who enter the Shiwan Mountains are strictly prohibited from destroying the mountain at will. Finally, these mortal residents only live on the outermost edge of the Shiwan Mountains, thus avoiding high-risk areas where battles may occur.

After Rong Qing took advantage of the chaos to enter the Ten Thousand Mountains, he kept a low profile and followed the traces of the people from Xuanfeng Mansion all the way into the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

With a strong man like No. 1 in the world who has penetrated the origin of space to assist her, she hardly needs to consider the possibility of being counter-detected.

"I think Phoenix City is having a lot of trouble right now."

"You still have the heart to care about them?" Number One Under Heaven snorted: "This secret realm may seem ordinary, but it is very mysterious in the Qinghang Realm. Now you have broken the rules and entered early, it is hard to predict whether it will be a blessing or a curse..."

"Aren't you here, Master?" Although she said so, Rong Qing did not act so casually. Instead, she always paid attention to the changes around her and carefully explored possible dangers.

"Originally, it was the best arrangement for your clone to receive the inheritance and for me to attend the class in Juntian Tower. But now your real body has entered the secret realm. Although it was the plan of your master Xuan Yi, I always feel that it is too coincidental." Number One Under Heaven hesitated for a while and said bluntly: "I feel something is not right."

The intuition of a great monk is often almost as accurate as prophecy.

Rong Qing recalled that she had asked the two elders on the top floor of Juntian Tower which side they were on. Upon hearing this, the two elders Kaishandao and Wuhoudao smiled at each other and directly transmitted the plan of Qin Lao.

It turned out that since it was confirmed that Xuanfeng Mansion would attack Qinghang Realm, the high-level officials of Qinghang Realm began to move around. The methods used by Daoist masters are not as trivial as those of the Divine Transformation Cultivators. Phoenix City sent out Xi Jing, and Old Qin even set a trap on this woman to kill two birds with one stone. As for Rong Qing, she would not encounter any danger with the protection of two elders. In addition, the elders in charge of the entrance to the Hundred Thousand Mountains have already been arranged. She only needs to enter the Hundred Thousand Mountains to escape and cooperate with the Taoist Master Juntian to perform.

Isn't this just like someone sending you a pillow when you feel sleepy? Rong Qing originally wanted to track down the person who came from Xuanfeng Mansion, and was worried about how to enter the Shiwan Mountains. When she heard about this plan, she agreed immediately.

"It's a coincidence. But there are many coincidences in this world." Rong Qing said seriously: "But these 100,000 mountains are indeed very mysterious. They are enough to attract Xuanfeng Mansion to sneak in despite the risk of being discovered. Even Master Xuanyi thought of this way to let me in early."

She recalled that Senior Brother Zhizheng had once told her very seriously that there was a secret in the Hundred Thousand Mountains that even he could not figure out, and she could not help but sigh, "It seems like it really is a big secret."
