"The dynasty and sect of the ancient country are one family."
This is the message given to Chu Yan by the leader of the Tianya Sect.
"The monks coming from the ancient country's sect are equivalent to representing the ancient country's meaning.
They only care about how many cultivation resources the upper country can provide them. As for whether the upper country is ruled by human monks or is run rampant by demons, they don't care much."
The sect leader looked at Chu Yan, as if he was worried that Chu Yan would object to this argument, and added: "When the realm reaches a certain level, whether the other party is a fairy or a demon is not so important.
If one day you reach that level, you can experience it."
Chu Yan pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Then, sect master, do you think so too?"
The sect leader did not avoid Chu Yan's question, but nodded lightly.
"So this is the difference between reaching the True Immortal Realm and being below the True Immortal Realm." Chu Yan was not surprised by this.
Because when you ascend to the True Immortal Realm, not only is the difference between your realm and Tao body, what you see and feel at that time will be different from that of ordinary monks.
In this way, there is a reasonable explanation for the sect leader's previous inaction: from a realm perspective, he has transcended the existence of monks in the upper kingdom.
So it makes no difference to him how he goes to the country.
Seeing that Chu Yan stopped talking, the sect leader continued: "This time there are monks from the ancient country. If I take action, it will be an interference in the decision-making of the ancient country. No one can afford the consequences.
Not only could I be eliminated directly, but it was also possible that they could anger the entire monks of the Precious Prime Minister Kingdom.
The actions of the Taiqing emperor were obviously supported by the ancient states.
This is why my attitude has changed."
After a pause, the sect leader continued: "I didn't know about Prince Lingyao's actions against Emperor Taiqing before, but this battle between the two of them will obviously affect the attitude of the ancient country.
If the Taiqing Emperor wins, he will be directly recognized by the ancient kingdom, and the Baoxiang Kingdom and several surrounding kingdoms will continue to be dominated by human monks and mortals.
But if Prince Lingyao wins, the result will be completely opposite.
What we need to do now is, on the one hand, to resist the demon's attack, and on the other hand, to wait for the outcome of the battle between the two of them.
As for the left and right guardians of Ziwei Sect, their strength is among the top in Baoxiang Shangguo.
If they don't die, they will eventually have an impact on the future of the war.
And your strength has now been recognized by everyone. If you kill them, you will not get any benefits except venting your anger, so I took action to stop you at that time."
The sect master's words naturally had his own considerations.
But Chu Yan didn't agree in his heart.
According to his thinking at the time, only by killing all the generals, kings and protectors of the Ziwei Sect would he be able to understand his thoughts.
Now that there are two guardians running away, he only understands half of his ideas!
But naturally he would not say these words.
At this moment, the sect leader changed the subject and said, "Chu Yan, do you know that your situation is actually very dangerous at this moment?"
Chu Yan's eyes narrowed and he immediately understood what the sect leader meant.
"You had a bad relationship with the Ziwei Sect before, and then you killed a large number of their disciples with your own hands, and the Taiqing Emperor also took action to suppress you.
If Emperor Taiqing returns from killing Prince Lingyao, and has the support of the ancient country's sects, his arrogance will be unmatched.
No one would dare to stop whatever he wanted to do.
Even if he points his finger at me and tells me to disband the Tianya Sect, I can only obey the order.
By then, if he finds out that you are not dead, he will definitely not be able to let you go." The sect leader looked at Chu Yan and said seriously.
The sect leader's words were already giving instructions to Chu Yan.
Chu Yan then followed the other party's words and said: "Please give me some advice from the sect master on what the disciple should do next."
"I promised you the ancient spiritual energy empowerment before, and I will give it to you next.
As long as the battle between Emperor Taiqing and Prince Lingyao lasts long enough and you absorb the spiritual energy of this ancient country, your realm and strength will advance by leaps and bounds, and you will also have a connection with the ancient country.
By then, the sects and monks from the ancient country will naturally notice you.
but--"
The sect leader made a twist: "This is not enough. Because for the Taiqing Emperor who has already proven himself, you are still too weak, and he will still be able to kill you easily.
So my advice to you is to do your best during this period to improve yourself.
In your current state of mind, you have the strength to kill the Zi Mansion. I believe you must have great adventures and great luck.
If you can advance to the Purple Mansion realm before Emperor Taiqing returns.
At that time, even if you are still no match for Emperor Taiqing, as long as the monks from the ancient country see that Emperor Taiqing cannot easily kill you, then you will win.
In this way, your chance of survival will be at least 30%."
What Chu Yan wanted in his heart was naturally more than just 30%.
However, after he pondered for a moment, he asked: "Is that secret realm that the sect master is referring to?"
Among the rewards he received for winning the first round in the second round was a map of a secret realm.
Although the sect leader did not say it explicitly at this time, Chu Yan was already vaguely reminded in his words.
"That is a secret realm without rules and regulations. After you enter, if you can come back alive, your strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds." The sect leader did not answer directly, but the hint was already very obvious.
"But if I go to the secret realm, my companions may be in danger." Chu Yan looked at the sect leader.
"I will personally take action to protect your island so that it will not be affected in any way while you are away." Before the sect master finished speaking, he continued, "However, only before Emperor Taiqing returns.
If he comes back, you haven't come back yet.
And if he wants to take action on your island, I will naturally not stop him."
"Okay." Chu Yan nodded.
The sect leader looked at Chu Yan.
At this moment, he was very satisfied with Chu Yan's attitude.
The conversation just now was actually, to put it bluntly, a transaction between the two of them.
The sect leader did not want Emperor Taiqing to eventually gain power, but because of the support of the ancient country, he could not personally stop Emperor Taiqing.
So he could only place his bet on Chu Yan.
When Chu Yan went to the secret realm, in exchange for benefits, he was responsible for protecting Chu Yan's companions and the fairy island.
And because the time limit is before the return of Emperor Taiqing, this will have no impact on him.
As for the secret realm of giving and the spiritual energy initiation from ancient countries.
The former is a reward for sect disciples, and even if you enter, how much benefit you can get depends on chance.
The latter had no share in him from the beginning.
So to put it bluntly, in the sect leader's own opinion, he got Chu Yan, a chess piece that could shake the Taiqing Emperor, with almost no actual effort.
And in the first half of the chess game, Chu Yan eliminated most of the senior officials of the Ziwei Sect for him, and he gained the reputation of protecting the guardians at the last moment, achieving multiple things with one stone.
Thinking of this, the sect leader was in a particularly good mood.
He looked at Chu Yan and said, "I've finished everything I can tell you. Now, you can ask me a question."
