Shadow Elder naturally had no objections. His figure flickered, and he once again disappeared into the void, without a trace.
The next morning, Su Muchen left the Cloudwater Sect early.
Guided by Shadow Elder, Su Muchen quickly arrived at the location of the secret realm prepared by the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion for Lin Yuan.
It was a range of continuous mountains, with strange rocks and overgrown weeds. Unless one knew for sure that there was a secret realm hidden here, no one would associate this desolate place with opportunity.
However, Su Muchen seemed to have arrived a little early, as he didn't find any signs of a secret realm entrance.
"Young Master, how about I directly break open the secret realm's restrictions?" Shadow Elder suggested.
"No need. Let's wait for our protagonist to make his appearance!"
Su Muchen naturally believed that a restriction left by someone below the Void Riding Realm was just a piece of cake for Shadow Elder.
But he didn't choose to do so. He knew that even if he looted the secret realm clean, Lin Yuan would still find opportunities from the nooks and crannies of the secret realm.
After all, Lin Yuan was a favored Son of Destiny, blessed by the heavens.
Therefore, Su Muchen decided to wait patiently, not arbitrarily disrupting the established trajectory. Keeping everything under control was the best option.
"He's here!" Shadow Elder keenly sensed Lin Yuan's aura and immediately reminded Su Muchen.
"Thank you, Shadow Elder." Su Muchen found a hidden corner to hide himself. Shadow Elder then used secret techniques to completely conceal Su Muchen's aura, leaving no trace.
Soon, the figures of Lin Yuan and his party appeared in Su Muchen's line of sight.
Although Lin Yuan was already the young master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, such a large secret realm could naturally not be enjoyed by him alone. However, those who came with Lin Yuan were all elite disciples of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.
"It's here!" At this moment, Lin Yuan held an old map, examining and carefully comparing it to his surroundings.
"Young Pavilion Master, please open the secret realm quickly!"
Behind Lin Yuan, a Heavenly Secrets Pavilion disciple couldn't help but urge him. Although the others didn't speak, the desire in their eyes revealed everything.
"Alright!" Lin Yuan smiled slightly and took out a delicate compass from his robe, chanting incantations.
As Lin Yuan activated it, the compass spun rapidly, emitting a faint glow.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a dazzling beam of light shot out from the compass, straight into the sky.
Rumble!
A deafening roar echoed, and a magnificent palace appeared before everyone's eyes.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a dazzling pillar of light shot out from the top of the palace, piercing the heavens.
"Not good!" Lin Yuan secretly cried out in his heart. He never expected that opening this secret realm would cause such a spectacle. He was afraid that it would quickly attract other cultivators.
No, he had to seize the opportunity, otherwise, if someone beat him to it, all his efforts would be in vain!
"Everyone, quickly enter!" Lin Yuan shouted loudly, not having time to think too much. He took the lead and rushed towards the entrance of the secret realm.
Several Heavenly Secrets Pavilion disciples reacted quickly, following closely behind, one after another.
"Young Master…" Seeing that everyone had entered the secret realm, Shadow Elder couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Don't rush. Although it's just a secret realm of a Profound Connection Realm expert, the restrictions inside are not so easily broken."
"Let Lin Yuan pave the way for us and clear the obstacles!"
Su Muchen believed that although this secret realm was full of traps, it would definitely not be difficult for Lin Yuan. After all, with Lin Yuan's current luck, it would be difficult for him to die even if he wanted to.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several more sounds of rushing wind came, and several figures landed at the entrance of the secret realm. They were probably cultivators from nearby, attracted by the phenomenon.
"Haha! It really is a secret realm manifesting!"
One of them laughed heartily. One had to know that secret realms often held the inheritance of strong experts. Even if one couldn't obtain the inheritance, the natural treasures within the secret realm were enough to benefit people and make the path of cultivation smoother.
Soon, the others also entered the secret realm one after another. Seeing that Su Muchen was still so unhurried, Shadow Elder was puzzled. If they delayed any longer, they might not even get scraps.
"Let's go in too!" At this moment, Su Muchen slowly got up and walked towards the entrance of the secret realm.
After Su Muchen entered the secret realm, many cultivators arrived one after another and poured into the secret realm.
The entrance of this secret realm seemed to be a palace, but the interior was a different world, a self-contained space.
Lin Yuan was leading several Heavenly Secrets Pavilion disciples towards the depths of the palace.
"Once I obtain the inheritance of the secret realm, Su Muchen, I will definitely make you pay the price!"
Lin Yuan's purpose in joining the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion was for this secret realm. His master, Xuan Jizi, had said that although the owner of this secret realm was only in the Profound Connection Realm, it contained an earth-shattering inheritance!
Although he didn't know how his master had found out, Lin Yuan deeply believed in Xuan Jizi.
So Lin Yuan told his fellow disciples about some areas with natural treasures, while he went straight to the place of inheritance. As the Son of Destiny, he naturally knew what was most important.
The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion disciples who came with him this time were all gifted and intelligent people, naturally understanding the stakes. So everyone had no objections, completely following Lin Yuan's arrangements.
"Master, do you think that if I obtain the inheritance, will I have a chance for revenge?" Lin Yuan's tone carried a hint of excitement and expectation. Su Muchen had already become his inner demon.
Lin Yuan would not be able to sleep or eat in peace until he killed Su Muchen.
"Yuan'er, you need to broaden your horizons and not be too fixated on one person or one thing!"
Xuan Jizi sighed in his heart. This disciple of his was almost perfect in every aspect, except that his obsession with Su Muchen was too deep. If he didn't get rid of Su Muchen, it might become an inner demon on his path of cultivation!
Xuan Jizi knew the foundations of the Central Continent Sacred Sect like the back of his hand. Thinking of this, Xuan Jizi sighed helplessly. It seemed that he had to dissuade Lin Yuan from going to the Battle of Soul Severing Cliff in three months.
Xuan Jizi was confident that Lin Yuan could defeat Su Muchen. Although Su Muchen's strength was outstanding and he had trump cards, Lin Yuan, who had been carefully trained by him, was by no means ordinary. How could a disciple he painstakingly cultivated, as a former strongman who dominated the Central Continent, be bad? Plus, this opportunity was even more of a certainty.
"Hmph, as a man, if he can't even protect the one he loves, how can he talk about achieving great things?"
Lin Yuan did not listen to Xuan Jizi's advice, snorting coldly, his tone resolute.
Xuan Jizi wanted to say something more, but seeing that Lin Yuan was so stubborn, he could only sigh helplessly in the end, and could only persuade him later.
Soon, Lin Yuan's figure disappeared into the depths of the palace.
"Buzz!" With a wave of space, Su Muchen's figure appeared in the secret realm.
"The spiritual energy concentration is decent."
As soon as he entered the secret realm, Su Muchen felt that the spiritual energy here was far better than the outside.
For ordinary cultivators, the spiritual energy here was abundant, and cultivating here would definitely yield twice the results with half the effort.
But Su Muchen was the young master of the Holy Sect, and there was a top-grade spiritual vein beneath his cave dwelling!
He really didn't care for this level of spiritual energy.
Shadow Elder nodded slightly. He had already tampered with Lin Yuan. With Shadow Elder's cultivation, the old man in Lin Yuan's jade pendant would not be able to detect it unless he examined it carefully.
At this time, in the depths of the secret realm.
"Purple Cloud Ginseng!"
"Heavenly Rain Fruit!" Lin Yuan encountered many rare natural treasures along the way. Although these elixirs were guarded by powerful spiritual beasts, Lin Yuan could easily deal with them under Xuan Jizi's guidance!
This trip to the secret realm was a fruitful one.
"Once I return to the sect, my cultivation will definitely improve even more. After three months, I will definitely make Su Muchen kneel before me!"
Lin Yuan could hardly wait to see Su Muchen begging for mercy like a dead dog.
"And Liu Ruyan, who hasn't paid attention to me for three years. At that time, I will make you, this adulterer and whore, tremble in front of me!"
At this moment, Lin Yuan's heart was filled with twisted pleasure, looking like a madman.
"Yuan'er!" Lin Yuan's master Xuan Jizi gave a stern shout, and the sound exploded in Lin Yuan's mind.
Lin Yuan shuddered as if struck by lightning, and only recovered after a moment.
"You were just caught in an illusion. Calm your mind and don't think wildly!"
Xuan Jizi's voice came again.
Lin Yuan was shocked. Fortunately, his master was always by his side, otherwise, he would most likely be trapped in the illusion. At best, he would go crazy, at worst, he would die on the spot. Immediately, Lin Yuan did not dare to be careless, and quickly focused his mind, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.
Cooperating with Xuan Jizi's guidance, Lin Yuan passed the test of the illusion without any danger.
"Finally here!"
As soon as he came out of the illusion, what came into Lin Yuan's eyes was an empty hall. In the center of the hall stood a lifelike stone statue.
