Chapter 343 Ancient Secrets
Become her disciple?
Still staying in the Shenlei Palace.
This request seems simple, but if I stay here, won't I be like a fish on the chopping board, at her mercy?
"you are not willing?"
Seeing Yun Chen's reaction, Lei Miaoyun frowned slightly, raised her hand and condensed a wisp of fine purple lightning, as if as long as Yun Chen refused, the lightning in her hand would fall without hesitation.
"No, it's just..."
Yun Chen suppressed the discomfort in his body, calmed his mind, and said, "I already have a master, so it might not be appropriate to become his disciple again..."
"Master? Who is your master?" Lei Miaoyun obviously didn't expect this, and couldn't help but look at Yun Chen with curiosity.
"Senior, you must know that I come from the secular world, and my master is also from the secular world..."
Yun Chen thought for a moment and replied.
Now I am in a difficult situation. It would be difficult to refuse, but I must not agree so easily.
"The secular world? Speaking of which... I suddenly remembered that there's a seal separating the secular world from the secret realm of cultivation. How did you get in?"
Lei Miaoyun raised her eyebrows and looked at Yun Chen, her eyes filled with even more curiosity.
The passage between the two worlds has been closed for a long time, and there are still a bunch of old guys guarding the boundary marker. Even the Taoist sect cannot easily set foot in the secular world.
How did the secular people get in?
"Senior, have you ever heard of a crack in the barrier?"
Yun Chen already had a plan in mind and spoke slowly.
The matter of the key must never be told, but since Gu Hong knew about the crack, there was no reason why the head of the Taoist sect would not know about it.
Lei Miaoyun's eyes flickered, and he nodded calmly: "I have heard of it."
"We came here through the crack... because the space is unstable, we were injured when we came here..." Yun Chen said calmly.
The injury could be discovered through investigation by the Tianji Pavilion, so he was sure that Lei Miaoyun would not be suspicious.
"I see."
Lei Miaoyun nodded calmly, then said calmly, "Since you've already entered the secret realm of cultivation, don't even think about going back. Stay in the Divine Thunder Palace as my last disciple. As for the lineage... For those who cultivate the Dao, having two masters is not a big deal. As for the rest, we can discuss it later when we have the chance to return."
"Do you have any objections?"
Lei Miaoyun looked at Yun Chen, lightning flashed in his eyes, and an extremely powerful pressure came down, making Yun Chen almost lose his balance in an instant.
"No... no objection." Yun Chen spoke quickly, thought for a moment, and turned to look at Zhao Xiruo beside him.
"But, my Taoist companion... can she stay with me in the Divine Thunder Palace?"
"Taoist companion?"
Lei Miaoyun was stunned, and then her eyes fell on Zhao Xiruo, who had remained silent.
His eyes narrowed involuntarily: "He looks good, but his cultivation level... is at the peak of Qi training..."
"Senior, Ruoruo has great talent, but she has only been practicing for a short time, so..."
Yun Chen wanted to explain, but Lei Miaoyun waved her hand calmly: "The Divine Thunder Palace doesn't keep useless people. If you want her to stay, that's fine. The Daotong Qualifying Tournament will be in half a month. As long as you can win first place in the Daotong Qualifying Tournament, or she can get into the top 50 in the Daotong Qualifying Tournament, I can make an exception and let her join the Divine Thunder Palace."
"Qualifying round?"
Yun Chen couldn't help but be stunned.
Lei Miaoyun nodded calmly. "The Daoist Ranked Tournament is held every ten years, and is attended by geniuses under a hundred years old from various Daoist sects. There are many geniuses among them... Of course, you can refuse, but she will have to leave the Divine Thunder Palace, and... I won't help you get the two people you want."
"I promise."
Yun Chen took a deep breath and looked at Lei Miaoyun with a complicated look.
He never expected that he would encounter such a thing.
He originally just wanted to use the Shenlei Palace to ask Taixu Palace for people, but ended up getting himself involved.
It seems that I have taken things for granted.
None of these people in the orthodox tradition are fools.
"Okay, go down. Xue'er will arrange accommodation for you. If you have any requests during this period, just go to Xue'er and she will meet your requirements."
Lei Miaoyun waved her hand, and before leaving, she couldn't help but remind Yun Chen, "There's still half a month left. Improve your strength as much as possible... I hope you can surprise me."
After she finished speaking, her figure turned into a streak of lightning and disappeared above the hall.
"call……"
Only after Lei Miaoyun left did Yun Chen breathe a sigh of relief.
I was so nervous just now, afraid that Lei Miaoyun would suddenly lose his temper.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
"Yun Chen, are you okay?"
Looking at the pale Yun Chen, Zhao Xiruo asked with some concern.
"I'm fine." Yun Chen shook his head.
Although he acted very reluctantly, he knew very well that he was pretending.
Because of Lei Miaoyun’s test just now, Yun Chen’s soul was almost collapsing.
If he didn't possess the dragon soul inheritance he had obtained before, he would not be able to block Lei Miaoyun's spiritual sense scan at all.
"Come on, let's go out and talk about it first."
Yun Chen took a long breath, calmed himself down, then turned around and walked out of the hall with Zhao Xiruo.
Murong Xue had been guarding the door. When she saw the two people coming out, she couldn't help but go to greet them.
"Junior Brother Yun, congratulations!"
Murong Xue still looked indifferent as she spoke lightly to Yun Chen.
"There's nothing to congratulate."
Yun Chen waved his hand and casually asked, "What's going on with the Daotong Qualifying Tournament? Your master...she told me to win first place in the Daotong Qualifying Tournament. Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"
"what?"
Murong Xue was also very surprised when she heard Yun Chen's words, and even her face, which had always been unchanged, showed shock.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Yun Chen couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Murong Xue glanced at Yun Chen with a complicated look, and after a few seconds of silence, she slowly spoke.
"Do you know who participates in the qualifying competition? Do you know how the qualifying competition came about?"
"I don't know!" Yun Chen shook his head blankly.
He is an outsider, how could he know these things?
Murong Xue pursed her lips and spoke slowly, "In ancient times, Earth was filled with abundant spiritual energy, and immortals, gods, humans, and demons coexisted. However, due to several inter-ethnic wars, space collapsed and spiritual energy was lost... Therefore, in order to continue the Taoist tradition, the ancient powerful chose to abandon humanity and split Earth's space into two, which is now the secular world and the secret realm of cultivation..."
Murong Xue raised her eyes to glance at Yun Chen at this point, then continued, "But at that time, the secret realm of cultivation could still communicate with the secular world. The passage was not sealed, and some cultivators could still seek opportunities in the secular world... Later, an unparalleled emperor appeared in the human race. To prevent cultivators from stealing opportunities in the secular world, he sealed the passage between the two realms and even ordered his descendants to guard it for generations."
"So, what does this have to do with the qualifying round?" Yun Chen couldn't help but ask
He had heard Murong Xue say this before.
"Of course."
Murong Xue said calmly, "So, the opportunities and resources for cultivating in the Secret Realm have become limited. Especially after thousands of years, the resources are no longer able to support the cultivation of cultivators. That's why the upper limit of the Secret Realm for cultivating in the Secret Realm is limited to the Nascent Soul stage... and cannot reach the Divine Transformation stage."
Yun Chen didn't say anything and just listened quietly.
Murong Xue continued, "And this ranking competition will determine...the ownership of the only resources in the Secret Realm of Cultivation, such as spirit veins...mines and the like."
