[In the eighth year, after an entire year of cultivation, you finally bring all these cultivation techniques to the beginner level.]
[You glance toward the direction of the bronze gate, hesitating whether to go out.]
[With Ye Chuxue's talent, she should have already broken through to the Core Formation stage after a year.]
[You had previously agreed that this year you would explore the secret realm she mentioned together.]
[However, you are currently trapped inside the Bronze Divine Hall, and you do not dare go out lightly since Wan Yemo is guarding outside.]
[After thinking it over repeatedly, you decide not to go out for now. Even if you miss that secret realm, you still cannot leave.]
[After all, if you miss a secret realm, you can wait for the next time it opens. But if you go out now and get captured by Wan Yemo, the lightest outcome would still be having your soul searched.]
[You begin thinking about how to escape your current predicament.]
[Soon, your gaze settles on a divine ability—Great Void Technique!]
[Having already reached the beginner level of the Great Void Technique, you know that once it is cultivated to the great mastery level, you will be able to freely traverse space.]
[The distance you can traverse through space will increase along with your cultivation level.]
["Just wait, Wan Yemo. Once I get out, I'll kill you sooner or later!"]
[You return to the center of the hall, close your eyes, and begin cultivating!]
[The difficulty of cultivating the Great Void Technique exceeds your expectations. Even with the Young Supreme talent, cultivation is still extremely strenuous.]
[In the tenth year, you successfully raise the Great Void Technique from beginner level to minor mastery.]
[Now, when you use the Great Void Technique, the space you can traverse already covers the entire interior of the Bronze Divine Hall.]
[However, you still dare not relax. Wan Yemo, at the Deity Transformation stage, can easily catch up to you, who is only at the Core Formation stage.]
[You know that now is not the time to celebrate. You calm your mind and continue cultivating the Great Void Technique!]
[In the fifteenth year, after five years of secluded cultivation, you successfully cultivate the Great Void Technique to the great mastery level!]
[As your cultivation deepens, you increasingly feel the profound mysteries of the Great Void Technique, and at the same time your realm reaches the Core Formation Great Perfection stage.]
[At this point, all the spirit stones you had stored have been completely used up. You know that if you want to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, you must leave.]
[But with Wan Yemo guarding outside, even if you leave, you may not be able to successfully break through within the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm.]
[In the end, regardless of whether you can break through or not, you decide to leave the Bronze Divine Hall first.]
[Having disappeared for seven years, you do not know what the outside world is like now, nor do you know where Ye Chuxue and Lin Qi are.]
[They might have returned to your base at the border of Qingzhou—the remote village—or perhaps gone somewhere else to live.]
[You walk to the bronze gate. After adjusting your breathing, you push it open.]
[However, the moment you step out of the Bronze Divine Hall, the scene before your eyes completely shocks you.]
[All kinds of chaotic voices echo around your ears.]
["Look! Look! The gate of the Bronze Divine Hall has opened!"]
["What's going on? Who opened it?"]
["Could it be Jun Moxiao from the Myriad Demon Sect?"]
["I think it must be Xiao Lingtian from our Qingyun Sect!"]
["Wait! Why did only one person come out? Who is that?"]
…
[You look at the dense crowd outside the Bronze Divine Hall, and you freeze completely in place.]
[You cannot understand what has happened. Why have the people from the three major sects of Qingzhou come here?]
[In your understanding, this is the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm, which should be protected by formations. If Bizarre Insects entered here, the formations should have been triggered and annihilated them.]
[Although you do not know what happened, you understand that something major must have occurred during the seven years you spent inside the Bronze Divine Hall, causing the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm to completely fall.]
[You cannot understand why the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm, which had been safe for hundreds and thousands of years, suddenly encountered disaster.]
[You consider the possibility that it might be related to your entering the Bronze Divine Hall, but it could also have been caused by other reasons.]
["It's him! It's him—the demonic cultivator wanted by the Qingyun Sect ten years ago—Su Ming!"]
["What? A remnant of the demonic path? I knew there must still be remnants of the demonic path surviving in this secret realm!"]
["Brothers, capture him first! Then we'll learn the secret of the Bronze Divine Hall!"]
[Seeing the greedy looks in everyone's eyes, the corner of your mouth curls slightly upward.]
[You have just cultivated the Great Void Technique to great mastery and were worried about not having a chance to test it. Now you finally have a perfect opportunity.]
[You decide to kill everyone present.]
[To you, these people are no longer human. They are merely puppets driven by Bizarre Insects, so killing them will not give rise to inner demons.]
[You activate the Great Void Technique, constantly traversing through space across the entire area. No one can track your figure.]
[After fifteen minutes, you kill all the Core Formation disciples of the Qingyun Sect, Wind Thunder Sect, and Myriad Demon Sect.]
[Through soul searching, you obtain the truth you wanted to know.]
[Five years ago, Wan Yemo, the Second Elder of the Myriad Demon Sect, suddenly announced to the world that the formations surrounding the forbidden land Tianyuan had disappeared, and a secret realm had appeared deep within Tianyuan.]
[From then on, the three forces of Qingzhou began gradually dividing the Spiritual Objects throughout the secret realm.]
[A war even broke out between the three sects. Later, the sect masters of the three sects personally stepped in to mediate.]
[In the end, they decided to use the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm as a training ground, holding a trial once every five years, with each sect allowed to send only cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage.]
***
"Wan Yemo announced it to the world? How is that possible?"
Seeing this, Su Ming frowned deeply.
If this truth had not been obtained through soul searching, he would never have believed it.
Although Wan Yemo was indeed hateful and detestable—
Ultimately, he was still supposed to stand on the side of humanity. Su Ming did not believe he would commit such a treasonous act.
After all, without the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm, sooner or later he would also be devoured by the Bizarre Insects.
No matter how one looked at it, Wan Yemo had no motive to do such a thing.
***
[Although you kill everyone in front of the Bronze Divine Hall, none of the core disciples from each sect are present here.]
[Moreover, you know that these ordinary disciples cannot possibly know the core secrets.]
[If you want to learn the truth, you must soul search the core disciples—such as Jun Moxiao!]
[You believe Jun Moxiao is the strongest Core Formation cultivator in the Myriad Demon Sect, and he must know far more than these ordinary disciples.]
[Furthermore, Wan Yemo also belongs to the Myriad Demon Sect.]
[Thinking of this, you use the Great Void Technique to rapidly traverse across the entire Fallen Immortal Secret Realm.]
[Anyone you encounter, you show no mercy. First cripple them, then perform soul searching, and finally kill them.]
[Through soul searching, you quickly learn Jun Moxiao's location.]
[Using the Great Void Technique, you arrive at a Sword Mountain!]
[Looking at the massive mountain before you, densely covered with countless swords, you cannot help but marvel that such an opportunity exists within the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm.]
[From the murals you saw earlier, you know where this Sword Mountain originated.]
[From the Remote Ancient Era, from Qingzhou's top sect—Taixu Sword Sect!]
