70: Chapter 70 Xuan Yuan Sect Trial Tower

A Secret Realm exists independently outside the Great World, forming its own Small World, with sizes and environments that are incredibly strange and varied!

But no matter how small a Secret Realm may be, often only a Golden Core Sect has the qualifications to occupy it.

To think that the Xie Family actually hid such a secret!

"That's right, a Secret Realm!"

"It was a life-changing encounter. I obtained the grand Opportunity within it to achieve Foundation Establishment, while your father obtained a large quantity of Spirit Stones!"

"After coming out, relying on what I obtained from the Secret Realm, I successfully achieved Foundation Establishment at the age of nearly sixty, and led the entire Xie Family to migrate and establish our Foundation here."

"Your father took that batch of Spirit Stones, returned to Lifeng Plain, started from scratch, and founded the Chen Family."

"We made a vow at that time that this Secret Realm would be a shared secret between the Chen and Xie Families."

"We agreed that every fifty years, when the entrance opens again, the descendants of both families would join forces to enter the Secret Realm together."

Speaking of this, the light in the old man's eyes gradually faded, turning into endless emotion.

"It is a pity that time passes and things change, and the affairs of the world are ultimately unpredictable. Although I was lucky enough to achieve Foundation Establishment, I failed to lead the Xie Family to a true rise."

"Over these years, not only has the Family not flourished, but it has gradually withered, and we can only struggle to survive."

"Now, among the younger generation of the clan, the only one who can be considered capable is this girl, Jinshu."

"And as for the Chen Family, although it gained someone with your outstanding Dual Spiritual Root Aptitude, fate is cruel."

"Your father was strong-willed his whole life, but was ultimately plotted against. Not only did he lose his life, but your Chen Family was also almost ruined..."

"Fortunately, you brat are still promising, and now that you have repented, the Chen Family has shown some signs of improvement."

"Otherwise, our Chen and Xie Families would truly be completely cut off, with no day of reunion."

After the old man's words fell, Chen Qingyuan could not help but marvel at his deep foresight and decisive actions.

These words, while seemingly recalling the past, actually invisibly brought the two families closer.

Furthermore, after discovering that Chen Qingyuan was not the good-for-nothing rumored, he dared to place a heavy bet.

After all, with his Dual Spiritual Root Aptitude, Foundation Establishment was almost a certainty.

When that time comes, with this relationship and kindness, Chen Qingyuan will definitely support Jinshu in achieving Foundation Establishment.

"In this way, the Chen Family would have two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, which would also be able to protect the Xie Family for at least two hundred years of peace!"

"What's more, with a Dual Spiritual Root, it is not impossible to peek into the Purple Mansion realm. If that day really comes, the Xie Family will naturally be able to rise to the heavens through this marriage relationship!"

Looking at Jinshu, if she were to remain in the current Xie Family for cultivation, not to mention the daily Cultivation resources required,

a single foundation establishment pill is worth a fortune and is simply something the Xie Family cannot afford.

In the end, management itself is a profound subject.

"If there were really anyone among all the Xie Family Disciples with such management talent, why would the Family still fall to this point even with a Foundation Establishment Cultivator presiding over it?"

Since the Family's fortune is declining and the path ahead is difficult, it is natural to cast one's gaze outward.

And Chen Qingyuan is that excellent choice!

First, it can fulfill the life-and-death friendship with the Chen Family in the past!

Second, it can secure a brand-new way out for the Xie Family!

Third, by taking advantage of the fact that Chen Qingyuan's wings are not yet fully grown and he can still be handled, it can also be considered as winning a great Dao Immortal Opportunity for Xie Jinshu.

Such killing three birds with one stone is indeed the best solution at the moment.

Chen Qingyuan put away the thousands of thoughts in his mind!

"So, old man, are you so eager to facilitate the marriage because of this Secret Realm? Or is it because the fifty-year mark is right around the corner?"

"Smart!" The old man's eyes showed appreciation.

"That Secret Realm was left behind by the 'Xuan Yuan Sect' thousands of years ago and is a Trial Tower."

"The tower has five levels and only allows Qi Refining realm Disciples under the bone age of thirty to enter."

"Every time a level is successfully broken through, a reward will be bestowed within the tower; Medicinal Pill, Cultivation Technique, Magic Treasure, rare spiritual objects... anything is possible."

"Back then, your father and I tried our best, but we only stopped at the second level, and what we obtained has already changed our lives."

Xie Jinshu could not help but ask!

"Grandfather, how long until that Secret Realm can be opened?"

"Counting the time, it will be in about three months."

"Three months?"

Chen Qingyuan suddenly thought of a question, and his expression immediately became strange!

"Old man, do you mean that if I hadn't arrived in time this year and missed this opening of the Secret Realm, I probably wouldn't have had another chance to participate in the future?"

The old man also glanced at him as a matter of course.

"Otherwise?"

"It opens once every fifty years, and it won't wait for anyone."

"Alright!"

"Then, I wonder where exactly the Secret Realm is?"

"This is kept confidential for the time being. When the time comes, you will naturally know."

As he spoke, the old man took out a spirit wood token from his bosom. The token was beautifully carved, and a small "Xie" character was engraved in the center.

"I will give you another big gift. With this token, you can freely enter and exit the Xie Family Scripture Pavilion."

"All the Cultivation Technique and classics inside are yours to browse, and if you want to copy them, feel free to do so!"

Chen Qingyuan stood up abruptly, his heart shaking violently.

This old man truly understands the essence of seeing a good deed through to the end; once he made up his mind, he held nothing back!

By accepting this, he had obtained a huge Karma from the Xie Family!

If he achieves something in the future, the repayment will certainly be more than what is here.

And will he achieve something?

Chen Qingyuan still had that bit of self-confidence.

"Old man, are you serious?"

"Otherwise?"

The old man feigned anger and glared at him!

"Do I have the leisure to play with you here?"

Watching Chen Qingyuan's eager appearance, the old man waved his hand casually!

"Alright, look at you, get out of here quickly, stop being an eyesore to me!"

"Understood! Old man, rest well, we'll leave now!"

Chen Qingyuan naturally followed the advice, pulled up Xie Jinshu who hadn't fully reacted yet, and left the Hedge Garden in a hurry.

Until their figures completely disappeared outside the Hedge Garden!

The smile on the old man's face slowly faded, turning into endless nostalgia.

Looking at the empty hall, he whispered absentmindedly!

"Chen, you bastard... when you get down below, don't say I didn't keep my word."

"That is the 'Green Lotus Sword Embryo', the only spiritual body produced by our Xie Family in many years, I gave it to your son for cheap."

"When I also get down below, you'd better thank me properly, or it won't do!"

...

Leaving the Hedge Garden, walking on the bluestone road.

Xie Jinshu's cheeks flushed red, wanting to break free from the hand that was being held!

"Alright, if we go any further, we will meet other clan members!"

Chen Qingyuan not only didn't let go, but instead interlaced his fingers with hers and held her hand tightly!

"What are you afraid of if they see us? I want them all to see clearly and see who dares to bully me in the future."

"You..."

"However, husb... are you really a Dual Spiritual Root?"

"Absolutely genuine!"

Chen Qingyuan's heart stirred, his arm instinctively wrapped around her slender and supple waist, pulling her slightly closer, bowing his head to her ear, his tone carrying a bit of teasing!

"Wife, what did you call me just now? Your voice was too soft, I didn't hear it clearly."

"Oh, you..."

Xie Jinshu was made hot at the ears by this sudden intimacy, and her shyness was at its peak, but suddenly a loud roar came from afar, sounding like a thunderclap!

"Waaahhhh—! I'm so angry! You lecher! In broad daylight, release my sister immediately!"
