171: Chapter 171 Kunxu Immortal Sect

The next day, Lin Qing and the others followed the people from the Li Family to the testing square.

Standing on the square and looking out, the testing queue stretched out of sight; it was indeed as Li Yaqing had said. If they had to line up on their own, it would be over ten days before it was their turn.

Under the arrangements made by the Li Family, the Disciples of the three sects began to replace the people originally in the queue one by one. Those who were replaced silently walked to the very end of the line and began waiting again.

This test was jointly initiated by several major super-powers, and with God Realm powerhouses overseeing the site, naturally, no one would dare to disrupt the order by cutting in line.

Lin Qing did not join the queue immediately; he was too special, being only in his early twenties.

An Eighth Rank at twenty years old was far beyond historical records; for the people of this continent, it even defied the logic of cultivation.

Although Lin Qing did not violate the logic of cultivation, his cultivation was impossible to replicate.

Perfect Cultivation Technique, automatic operation, and multi-threaded cultivation—even the Immortals in the heavens could not be faster than Lin Qing.

Therefore, Lin Qing needed to carefully observe the means used to test age. After a while, Lin Qing silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Testing age was far more difficult than testing cultivation. If one wanted to test accurate bone age, it not only required extremely high-level Magic Treasures but also took a considerable amount of time. Therefore, they were only testing whether the Cultivator was over two hundred years old, not their specific age.

This saved Lin Qing a lot of trouble; otherwise, he would have had to find another way.

For instance, studying the access token and the Formation within it would not be difficult for Lin Qing, whose skills had all reached Eighth Rank Perfection.

Li Yaqing also possessed the qualifications to enter the Secret Realm and had already obtained an access token, but she still came to the square with Lin Qing and the others.

Ever since learning that Lin Qing's strength might be terrifying, she no longer planned to go to the teleportation square to recruit people.

Because the testing standards were fixed and no combat was required during the process, there were no major ripples during the test. Only a few Disciples from the double rankings appeared to test, causing a stir at the scene.

Like the others, Lin Qing walked through the two areas covered by Magic Treasures one after another, and then obtained the Secret Realm access token.

In the evening, after returning to the Li Family, Li Yaqing followed Lin Qing to the small courtyard arranged for him.

Inside the courtyard, there were craggy rockeries and gurgling streams, with a pavilion nestled between the landscape. Li Yaqing and Lin Qing sat opposite each other at a stone table in the pavilion. Lin Qing took out a tea set, brewed a pot of tea, handed it to Li Yaqing, and said:

"Young Miss Li, tell me about it."

Both sides were well aware that the Li Family needed help from Lin Qing and the others. Now that the Li Family had shown their sincerity, it was time for Lin Qing to hear what the matter was.

Li Yaqing did not act coy and directly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

"The matter starts with the passing of my grandfather three months ago."

"My Li Family is affiliated with another powerful force—the Zhou Family. Relying on his God Realm cultivation, my grandfather had made many contributions to the Zhou Family over the years. Therefore, after he passed away, the Zhou Family specially sent people to offer their condolences."

"And the person sent by the Zhou Family was their second Young Master, currently ranked fifth on the Central Continent Young Master ranking, Zhou Yichen."

"Although I am also on the Central Continent Beauty ranking, Zhou Yichen had never met me before. After arriving at the Li Family, he saw me and spoke very frivolously at the time. Out of respect for my grandfather's funeral, I did not argue with him much."

"Who would have thought that after returning to the Zhou Family, he immediately sent people to bring a large amount of Heaven And Earth Treasure to my Li Family, declaring that he would come in three months to take me as a concubine."

At this point, Lin Qing understood completely. It was nothing more than Li Yaqing being unwilling, but the Zhou Family's influence was somewhat large, and she could not abandon the Li Family and leave, so she was currently in a very difficult position.

"What is the strength of the Zhou Family's God Realm?"

Lin Qing asked straightforwardly.

"Besides seven or eight Ninth Rank God Realm members, the Zhou Family also has two Tenth Rank Middle Stage powerhouses."

Li Yaqing looked at Lin Qing with anticipation. She could not discern the strength of Yun Feng and Fei Luo, but since they came from a top-tier force in Dongxuan, they shouldn't be too bad, right?

Lin Qing did not continue asking questions, but instead transmitted his voice to Yun Feng and Fei Luo in the two adjacent courtyards.

"Two Seniors, what do you say?"

Yun Feng's Divine Thought replied immediately. Clearly, being separated by only one courtyard, even without using Divine Thought to probe, they could clearly know everything happening in Lin Qing's courtyard just by their five senses.

"It can be solved, but the chips are not enough."

In Yun Feng's view, the price the Li Family was currently offering was not enough to make them go up against two Tenth Rank Middle Stage God Realm powerhouses.

Fei Luo's voice, sounding like a smile, also rang in Lin Qing's mind.

"If she is willing to marry you, for the sake of your Face, I can take action for free."

Lin Qing simply acted as if he hadn't heard Fei Luo's words, and he relayed Yun Feng's meaning.

"Young Miss Li, the other side has two Tenth Rank Middle Stage powerhouses. Given the current situation, it is very difficult for us to help you!"

Li Yaqing became conflicted immediately. She understood Lin Qing's meaning, but the Li Family previously only had one God Realm powerhouse overseeing it, and with so many Family members to support, their savings were not much to begin with.

The Heaven And Earth Treasure they could offer might truly not be enough to catch the eyes of Lin Qing and the others.

Li Yaqing was currently the strongest in the Family. For these past few months, the entire Li Family could be said to be supported by her alone. Therefore, when making major decisions, she did not consult with others but weighed the pros and cons by herself.

After a bout of conflict, Li Yaqing seemed to have made up her mind. She raised her right hand, a flash of spiritual light appeared at her fingertips, and an ancient scroll appeared in her hand.

"Young Master Lin, you have come from Dongxuan, so you must not know much about the Kunxu Secret Realm, right?"

Speaking of the Secret Realm, Lin Qing immediately became interested. He cupped his hands and said:

"I would like to hear the details."

Li Yaqing slowly began to narrate.

"The Kunxu Immortal Sect was the number one power in the Central Continent fifty thousand years ago. It had countless powerhouses within it, and there were even dozens of Level 11 powerhouses."

"And its destruction was not as the outside world rumored, wiped out in a clash with hostile forces. Instead, it was due to an unknown reason that it brought about a Heavenly Tribulation."

"The Heavenly Tribulation was infinitely powerful, leading to the fall of a large number of powerhouses. This was what led to the subsequent siege of the Kunxu Immortal Sect by various forces."

Lin Qing already knew most of what happened afterward. The remaining God Realm members of the Kunxu Immortal Sect were almost completely wiped out, and the great war also caused massive destruction to the Kunxu Secret Realm, causing the Secret Realm's grade to drop. Before they could even loot the spoils of war, everyone in the Secret Realm was expelled.

Subsequently, the Secret Realm disappeared for tens of thousands of years until it reappeared this time.

After finishing, Li Yaqing shook the scroll in her hand.

"Coincidentally, my Li Family ancestor was once an Outer Sect Disciple of the Kunxu Immortal Sect, and this is a map he drew from memory."
