242: Chapter 242 Secret Realm!!

Upon hearing Daoist Master Cangxuan's words, Daoist Master Tianhuo's expression instantly turned grave.

Although he was currently only in a Soul state, with a semi-transparent body.

However, one could still see the flash of fear in his eyes.

It was a fear that seeped into his very bones, one that could not be erased even after a million years.

Daoist Master Cangxuan did not urge him, but simply sat quietly on the main seat, waiting for him to speak.

He knew that something capable of making a Peak Domain Realm super expert show such an expression was definitely not an ordinary matter.

The main hall was silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Daoist Master Tianhuo finally spoke slowly.

His voice was hoarse and low, carrying a weariness that had weathered the ages.

"Fellow Daoist, have you heard of that 'Mysterious Secret Realm' in this world?"

Daoist Master Cangxuan raised an eyebrow.

Good grief, he was just a stowaway; he really didn't know about this world of theirs.

Weren't you making things difficult for him?

"Mysterious Secret Realm? I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it. Could your fall be related to that Mysterious Secret Realm?"

Daoist Master Tianhuo nodded.

"That's right. A million years ago, this old man accidentally learned the accurate information about that Mysterious Secret Realm."

"It is said that it was an Immortal Cave left behind by an ancient Immortal Realm expert, containing not only that expert's complete Legacy but also countless Heaven And Earth Treasure."

As he spoke, a hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.

"Back then, this old man was in his prime, his cultivation had reached the Peak Domain Realm, and he considered himself invincible in the world. After hearing this news, greed stirred in his heart."

"This old man thought, if he could obtain the Legacy of the Immortal Realm and reach that legendary Realm, how glorious would that be?"

Daoist Master Cangxuan did not speak, just listened quietly.

The Immortal Realm was indeed very attractive; if it were him, he wouldn't be able to resist either!

After a pause, Daoist Master Tianhuo continued.

"This old man spent nearly a hundred years finally finding the location of that Secret Realm."

"The Secret Realm was hidden within the Void Realm and kept moving; ordinary means could not detect it at all."

"This old man was fortunate enough to discover the entrance by chance."

"After entering the Secret Realm, this old man discovered that it was indeed as the legends said, filled with countless treasures and Opportunity. This old man also obtained many good things inside, and his cultivation improved significantly."

"At that time, this old man thought that this was heaven's favor, and that he was destined to reach the pinnacle."

Speaking of this, his voice suddenly dropped.

"However, this old man was wrong."

In his eyes, that look of fear flashed once again.

"Deep within the Secret Realm, there was a huge palace. On the gates of the palace, four large characters were engraved—'Legacy Palace'."

"When seeing the two words 'Legacy', this old man was so excited he almost fainted, thinking he had finally found the place of the Legacy of that Immortal Realm expert."

"This old man did not hesitate in the slightest, pushed open the doors, and walked in."

"At that moment, danger or no danger, it was all bullshit in the face of an Immortal expert's Legacy!"

"When this old man stepped into the Legacy Palace, he discovered that it was empty, with nothing inside. There was only one person sitting in the very center of the palace."

"One person?" Daoist Master Cangxuan frowned.

"Yes, one person." Daoist Master Tianhuo nodded and continued.

"It was a young man, looking to be in his early twenties, dressed in a white robe, with his eyes closed, as if he were engaged in Cultivate. There was no aura emanating from his body; he looked just like a Mortal."

"But this old man knew he was not a Mortal." His voice carried a trace of bitterness.

"Because as soon as this old man walked into the palace, he opened his eyes."

"At that instant, this old man felt as if his Soul had been seen through. It was an indescribable fear, like an ant looking up at the firmament, a Mortal facing a god."

"You were killed by him?" Daoist Master Cangxuan asked.

Daoist Master Tianhuo shook his head. "He did not kill me. He just glanced at me and then said one sentence."

"What sentence?"

Daoist Master Tianhuo was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "He said—'You are not the person I am waiting for.'"

Daoist Master Cangxuan raised an eyebrow. "The person he is waiting for?"

"Yes!" Daoist Master Tianhuo nodded. "He said he was waiting for someone, someone with a special Physique. Only that person could obtain his Legacy. Anyone else who enters will only meet a dead end."

"And then?"

"And then—" Daoist Master Tianhuo's voice became even more bitter. "Then he waved his hand. This old man felt a terrifying force strike, and his Physical Body was instantly torn apart. This old man didn't even have a chance to resist, and just…"

He did not finish, but Daoist Master Cangxuan already understood.

A Peak Domain Realm super expert, in front of that person, didn't even have a chance to resist before being casually killed. Is this the strength of an Immortal Realm expert?

"This old man thought he was going to die."

"But unexpectedly, this old man's Soul did not dissipate. Perhaps it was because the Cultivation Technique this old man Cultivate was special, or perhaps that person did not use his full strength. In any case, this old man's Soul remained in that palace."

"And then? How long did you stay there?"

"Nearly a million years." Daoist Master Tianhuo's voice was full of vicissitudes. "This old man stayed in that palace for nearly a million years. There was nothing there, only endless loneliness and solitude. This old man watched his Soul power dissipate bit by bit, yet was powerless to do anything."

"Until a year ago—" A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. "Lin Tian accidentally stumbled into that Secret Realm."

As if thinking of something interesting, a trace of a smile appeared on the corner of Daoist Master Tianhuo's mouth.

"Because this old man's Soul was already so weak it was almost at its end, if he couldn't quickly find a place to harbor his Soul, he might have completely perished."

"Lin Tian's appearance made this old man see hope!"

"This old man asked him if he was willing to let this old man reside within his body. He did not hesitate and agreed immediately."

"So, you became his Revered Master?"

"Yes."

"Although this old man is left with only a remnant Soul, he was, after all, once a Peak Domain Realm super expert. Guiding a little Celestial Realm brat to Cultivate is more than enough."

After hearing this, Daoist Master Cangxuan was silent for a moment before asking, "Is that Secret Realm still there now?"

Daoist Master Tianhuo shook his head. "This old man does not know. Because that Secret Realm is constantly moving, no one knows where it has moved to now."

Daoist Master Cangxuan nodded and did not ask again.

The main hall fell into silence again.

After a long while, Daoist Master Cangxuan slowly spoke. "Fellow Daoist, this seat has a proposal."

"Please speak, Fellow Daoist."

"This seat can help you find a way to reshape your Physical Body. But in exchange, this seat hopes you will agree to one thing."

"What is it?"

A sharp glint flashed in Daoist Master Cangxuan's eyes. "Find that Secret Realm for this seat!!"
