Looking at Xuanwu in front of him, Du Qingchen smiled.
"I came in a hurry this time and didn't bring you a gift."
Xuanwu also laughed: "It doesn't matter, I'll make it up another day."
ah?
Du Qingchen had a strange expression.
"Just make a pot of tea."
Xuanwu blinked.
Du Qingchen laughed loudly: "That's no problem. I'll come to you for tea when I'm free tomorrow, but I'll come empty-handed."
"no problem."
Xuanwu smiled.
Suzaku on the side looked at Du Qingchen with some envy.
In the entire Dragon Soul, if there is anyone who can have such a close relationship with Xuanwu, it is probably only Du Qingchen.
Xuanwu looks harmless to humans and animals, but it is the least easy to get close to.
Apart from the Dragon King, he only admired Du Qingchen.
"Okay, go up, the Dragon King is waiting for you."
Suzaku reminded.
Then, she turned and walked away.
Du Qingchen wanted to stop her, but didn't know what to say, so he could only let her leave.
When he arrived at the Dragon King's office, the latter had already made tea and was waiting for him there.
"Sit down."
The Dragon King greeted.
Seeing the Dragon King, Du Qingchen took a few more glances with some emotion: "I didn't expect that you are about to break through."
"Compared to those few, I am nothing." The Dragon King waved his hands and sighed.
"The old god is still ahead of you?"
Du Qingchen asked.
The Dragon King nodded: "It's not just him, the divine monk from Tianyin Temple is also ahead of me. As he gets older, the waves behind him in the Yangtze River push the waves ahead!"
Du Qingchen smiled: "It doesn't matter, you still have plenty of time, you are younger than them all."
"young?"
The Dragon King was stunned, shook his head, and did not explain anything.
The two of them drank tea together without speaking.
After a long time, the Dragon King asked: "When you come to the capital, you will give them a show of strength."
"Don't they want me to do this?"
Du Qingchen asked back.
"It seems that the capital is going to change again?"
"This is not something I can control. It depends entirely on them, but 80% of the time it won't be peaceful anymore."
"Have you really thought about it?"
"It will be like this whether you think about it well or not. I don't like to think too much. I just take it one step at a time."
"After all these years, you still haven't changed, but that's what I appreciate about you. Do you still hate me for what happened back then?" the Dragon King asked casually.
Du Qingchen told the truth: "I complained before, but then I thought about it. You also have your difficulties. Besides, I am used to relying on myself for everything, but I still want to thank you for everything you have done."
"Just do whatever you want, the sky won't fall."
The Dragon King makes his promise.
Du Qingchen was a little moved: "Thank you."
"Du Qingfeng came to see me a few days ago, but was stopped by Xuanwu. This little guy is smart and not pushy. Among the younger generation, his perseverance and control are the best. You can't even compare. It's a pity.
, only one of you will survive, otherwise, the Du family will really become the first family in the capital, and the future will be limitless."
Du Qingchen did not comment on this.
"He can't beat you. If you want to say the one who has made the most progress over the years, it's you!"
The Dragon King glanced at Du Qingchen and said curiously: "Have you taken that step?"
"No, but it should be soon." Du Qingchen answered naturally.
"Then what?"
"What then?" Du Qingchen was a little confused.
The Dragon King suddenly said seriously: "I'm here to find you today, and I have something very important to tell you."
"Please tell me."
"Do you know the secret realm?"
ah?
Du Qingchen was really confused this time.
He had never heard of the secret realm.
"The secret realm has not been opened for a hundred years, and the day of opening has recently come, and after this opening, it will no longer be closed." The Dragon King looked serious: "Do you know what kind of existence the secret realm is?"
Du Qingchen shook his head.
"Do you believe there are gods in this world?"
The Dragon King asked again.
Du Qingchen frowned and said: "Yes, and no."
"How to say?"
"It is impossible to become an immortal, but you can cultivate to a higher realm." Du Qingchen comes from a different world and has thought about this issue for many years.
Therefore, his answer was natural, as if it should be the case.
The Dragon King was a little surprised: "It seems that you know more about this world than we do."
Du Qingchen smiled and asked: "What is going on in the secret realm?"
The Dragon King thought about it for a while, and then said: "Actually, in our Eastern world, there is a group of people who have been pursuing immortality. They believe that people can eventually become immortals. This group of people has been passing on the tradition for thousands of years.
For a period of time, they were extremely powerful and even opened up a new world, which is the secret realm."
After a pause, he continued: "The secret realm is in this world and not in this world. You can understand that it is in another plane. If you want to go to the secret realm, you can pass the teleportation circle. There used to be teleportation shafts. Unfortunately,
The teleportation axis has been lost for many years. There are now nine sects in the secret realm, corresponding to the nine sects in the ancient martial arts world. There are also Kunlun, Tianyin Temple, and Sword God Sect in it. However, the people inside are better than those in the ancient martial arts world outside.
The people there are even more powerful. It is said that there are quite a few people there who have reached the divine realm, but they all focus on cultivating immortals and generally do not enter the secular world. They look down on our ancient martial arts world and the existence of our ancient martial arts world. In fact,
It is just to provide them with talents. In other words, if the secret realm is opened this time, some people will be able to enter the secret realm to practice, and the cultivation resources there will be more abundant than outside, and the spiritual energy will be more abundant..."
Du Qingchen was stunned for a while after hearing this.
He really never knew that there was a secret realm.
"Is there a dragon soul in the secret realm?" Du Qingchen asked curiously.
"have!"
The Dragon King said: "In the secret realm, the Dragon Soul is just an organization, and it also maintains the order among the various sects. However, compared to the ancient martial arts world, in the secret realm, the Dragon Soul is not that powerful, nor does it have such a great deterrent effect.
, To put it more clearly, in the secret realm, it is still a world of the weak and the strong, and only the strong can make the rules."
Du Qingchen frowned and said, "When will the secret realm be opened?"
"I don't know, I just know that it's almost over." said the Dragon King.
"Then what?"
"If the secret realm is opened, I hope you can enter. Then you will have a better future. Also, you must be low-key when doing things now, because the nine sects and the three holy places have personal connections in the secret realm. Maybe
You will create a lot of strong opponents and enemies out of thin air, and some big families in the secular world may have ancestors who have lived in the secret realm for hundreds of years."
Although the Dragon King didn't make his words too clear, Du Qingchen already understood.
Now there is no fear in Du Qingchen's heart, only excitement.
He now wants to go into the secret realm to have a look, maybe he can find a way to return to another world. After so many years, he has long given up on this original dream, but now, it seems that the dream has a chance to come true again, how can he not
excited.
As for scruples? None at all!
He is now thinking about how to enter the secret realm!
