497: Chapter 497 You can want to know, but you have to offer something in return, right?

Just as Ye Xuan was feeling at a loss as to what to do...

A powerful suction suddenly erupted from the wall of Martial Immortal City in front of him.

"This is...? A great Opportunity!

Perhaps this Secret Realm has sensed my formidable Aptitude.

So it's actively pulling me in!"

Ye Xuan grinned and, without resisting the suction, entered Martial Immortal City directly.

At this moment, no one noticed his disappearance except for Su Yun.

"As expected of the protagonist!

He really just 'accidentally' entered Martial Immortal City?

Without even using the main gate?

Is he using cheats?"

Su Yun felt a bit emotional.

This was yet another classic trope.

This whole group of people had been busy outside Martial Immortal City for ages.

They couldn't even get in.

Yet the protagonist enters by accident.

He'll reap a full harvest inside and his strength will increase greatly.

When he comes out...

He'll be 'accidentally' discovered by everyone.

He'll be pursued and blocked by experts from various major forces.

And yet, the protagonist will be able to escape easily.

While Su Yun was deep in thought...

The Holy Masters of the other major Holy Lands were all wearing troubled expressions.

They didn't know how to enter Martial Immortal City.

They had already tried various methods.

Even the Elders of their Holy Lands had tried.

Regardless of their high or low Realm...

None of them could enter.

Some Cultivators even tried to climb the city walls to break in.

As a result, they triggered the Restrictions on the walls and were blasted into ash.

This caused the situation to fall into a stalemate.

No one dared to act rashly anymore.

Seeing this, Su Yun continued to ponder a way to enter.

Ye Xuan had already gone in.

Although according to the life script's description...

It would take a few days for Ye Xuan to obtain the Opportunity.

But just to be safe...

He should still head in early!

Thinking of this, Su Yun looked around once more.

He analyzed the current situation.

There was nothing else at the city walls.

Apart from the city gate...

There were only the City Guards standing in a line atop the walls.

But those guards didn't seem like living people.

They were a bit like NPCs.

The only thing remaining was the Plaque engraved with 'Martial Immortal City'.

When looking at the Plaque...

One would suffer an inexplicable Divine Soul impact.

Wait.

Su Yun suddenly discovered a blind spot.

Why would such a Plaque be set up at the entrance of Martial Immortal City for no reason?

The Plaques of ordinary cultivation cities aren't set up like this!

Could it be to deter external enemies or to demonstrate the power of Martial Immortal City?

That's possible.

However, another possibility is...

That Plaque is related to the entry assessment.

The three large characters on the Plaque are the first assessment.

Thinking of this, a gleam flashed in Su Yun's eyes.

The various previous clues directly connected together.

He understood.

He already knew.

He roughly knew how to enter Martial Immortal City.

"So that's how it is."

A slight smile tugged at the corner of Su Yun's mouth.

At this moment, Liu Chengfeng, who was nearby, saw this and asked directly:

"Holy Master, have you discovered something?"

The other Taixuan Elder, who looked somewhat disheveled, also perked up their ears to listen intently.

They had also tried to open the city gate just now.

But they had been beaten back in a pathetic state as well.

In their eyes, the Holy Master now...

Was truly extraordinary.

He possessed formidable strength.

And he even had foresight.

So the Holy Master must have discovered something.

Su Yun looked at the Taixuan Elders around him, whose eyes were burning with anticipation, and nodded:

"I've roughly guessed the method to enter the city."

"Holy crap, I knew the Holy Master would be able to find a way in!"

"As expected of our Holy Master! Simply amazing!"

"Holy Master, do tell~"

Several Taixuan Elder said directly, their eyes shining as they rubbed their hands together.

At this time, several nearby Holy Masters also heard the conversation between Su Yun and the Elders.

They immediately swarmed around Su Yun.

"Taixuan Holy Master, I want to know too!

Could you tell me as well?"

The Holy Lord Tianyang said with a hearty smile, acting as if they were old friends.

"I would also like to hear it. Taixuan Holy Master, can you tell us?"

The Holy Lord Yaochi approached gracefully, her tone gentle.

The other Holy Masters also looked at Su Yun expectantly.

"Fellow Daoists, I only have a guess.

The method I've thought of might not necessarily be correct.

And..."

Su Yun hesitated, appearing somewhat conflicted.

The other Holy Masters wanted to know the method to enter the city?

There was no way he could just tell them directly!

They could know...

But they had to offer something first, right?

"Oh? We understand the rules!

If the Taixuan Holy Master's method is correct...

Then several Secret Realms of our Holy Land will..."

"Our Holy Land recently excavated several Spirit Stone Mines... and..."

The various Holy Masters spoke all at once.

They felt somewhat emotional in their hearts.

The Taixuan Holy Master was so young...

How was he not easy to fool at all?

Shouldn't an ordinary young Cultivator...

Just tell them directly?

But it wasn't a loss now either.

Besides buying the entry method...

It was also about befriending the Taixuan Holy Land.

The two Holy Masters of the Xuanqing Holy Land and the Taiyin Holy Land were particularly generous.

If another Holy Land offered one Spirit Stone Mine...

They would double it.

Two Spirit Stone Mines.

If another Holy Land offered one Secret Realm...

They would double that too.

Two Secret Realms.

Hearing this, the Taixuan Elders to the side couldn't stop smiling.

They looked at Su Yun with immense admiration.

As expected of the Holy Master.

With just a few words...

He had earned so many cultivation resources for the Taixuan Holy Land.

Meanwhile, Liu Chengfeng immediately signed contracts with the Elders of the other Holy Lands.

"Alright, since you all have shown such sincerity, I'll speak plainly."

Su Yun said with a faint smile.

The other Holy Masters' mouths twitched upon hearing this.

Sincerity?

We're bleeding dry here, okay?

This kid is truly not simple!

If they didn't know that Su Yun had only just become the Taixuan Holy Master...

They might really have thought he had been a Holy Master for hundreds of years.

"Taixuan Holy Master, wait a moment!"

The Dao Yi Holy Master lightly waved his staff toward the surroundings.

Faint Law fluctuations flashed, and a Sound-insulating Restriction appeared.

It surrounded them all.

After all, they couldn't let the other Sects from the Central Domain and the Loose Cultivators overhear.

This was a method they had paid a high price for.

"Alright, Taixuan Holy Master, you can speak now!"

"It's very simple; it's related to that Plaque!"

"I suspect we must look directly at the Plaque and walk to the city gate.

Only then can we pass the first assessment and enter Martial Immortal City."

After Su Yun finished speaking...

The other Holy Masters found it hard to believe.

"Is it really that simple?

Taixuan Holy Master, surely you haven't guessed wrong!"

"Everyone, I've finished speaking, so we'll be taking our leave first!"

Su Yun didn't care about the doubts of the other Holy Masters.

He had already delayed for a bit.

He'd better enter the city quickly!

Otherwise, if all the Opportunities were taken by Ye Xuan...

Then that would be quite the joke.

Immediately, Su Yun led the group of Taixuan Elder toward the city gate.

"What did the Taixuan Holy Master just say?

I really want to know!"

"Unfortunately, our Sect is too poor and can't afford the entry method!"

"I admit the Taixuan Holy Master is impressive, but he might not necessarily be able to enter Martial Immortal City.

After all, he hasn't tried it yet, right?

Maybe the entry method he mentioned is wrong?"

Under the complex gazes of the crowd of Cultivators...

Su Yun looked toward the Plaque without drawing attention.

At the same time, he rushed directly toward the gate of Martial Immortal City.

In an instant, Su Yun felt a powerful Divine Soul impact.

It was as if a massive, surging wave was constantly crashing against his Divine Soul.
