Cannot

It felt as if two mountains were pressing down on his shoulders. The sharp Sword Intent materialized, tearing rips in Yang Tianyou's robes. His exposed skin was covered in wounds, from which streaks of blood flowed.

Yang Tianyou knelt on one knee, head bowed, resisting the oppressive aura without uttering a word.

His expression was calm; he remained composed and at ease in the face of such immense humiliation.

"Nineteenth Younger Brother!"

Yang Tianwang's eyes were bloodshot, and he was about to rush forward, but he was stopped by the quick-witted Yang Dangmo.

"Going forward now will only harm him. Let's wait a bit longer; the Old Ancestor will naturally speak up!"

Chant!!

Sword Cries filled the sky, Sword Qi howled – this was True Person Yan Yuan's way of intimidating him, a warning to others, and Yang Tianyou was that chicken.

The more prominent one is in the Secret Realm, the better one becomes as a target for establishing authority.

Looking at the young man kneeling on one knee, silent, the many Cultivators had different expressions, some mocking, some amused, some pleased, while others were solemn and surprised.

Young people, especially geniuses, are the least able to tolerate humiliation.

But the person in front of him seemed to enjoy it and didn't take any of it to heart.

True Person Yan Yuan narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He hated the weak appearing calm and composed in front of the strong; crying, resentment, and humility were their proper behavior.

However, just as he was about to make a move, True Person Yunting spoke up, transmitting his voice, "Yan Yuan, that's enough. You should know what kind of relationship he has with my Yun Household. Let's stop here!"

As he spoke, he waved his sleeves, and a powerful yet peaceful Law Power surged forth, enveloping Yang Tianyou.

Seeing this, True Person Yan Yuan was displeased, but he still withdrew the immense Sword Intent that permeated the heavens and earth.

Then, looking at the group of Cultivators who had just emerged from the Secret Realm, he said indifferently, "Everyone, go through the Heart-Questioning Grand Formation first and recount your experiences in the Secret Realm!"

"What?"

Everyone was startled, and then, without prior agreement, a surge of anger rose in their hearts.

Although their cultivation levels were lower than those of True Person Yan Yuan, they were still true elites within their sects and Lineage, and had never suffered such humiliation.

To go through the Heart-Questioning Grand Formation is like stripping naked and showing it to others.

"Senior Yan Yuan, isn't this a bit inappropriate? After all, we are from the Immortal Dao Path lineage. Using such methods is somewhat dishonest... Moreover, before entering the Secret Realm, the various forces had already made an agreement that life and death were preordained, and any treasures obtained would belong to them without question. Are you now going to break this agreement, Senior?"

Nine Swords True Person stepped forward, looked at True Person Yan Yuan, and frowned as he spoke.

"Nine Swords, you're not convinced?" True Person Yan Yuan's expression was cold, and Sword Intent flickered around him, as if he were about to strike down at any moment.

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, it's just that I feel the Upper Sect's actions are somewhat contradictory and inconsistent!" True Person Bai Shi stepped forward, dressed in an apricot-yellow Daoist robe, his True Person Yan Yuan and spoke firmly.

He glanced at him, True Person Yan Yuan remained silent.

If we were to say who held the highest position among the Golden Core Force present, it would undoubtedly be the Corpse Yin Sect.

This sect belongs to the Corpse Driving lineage and has a powerful background, so it cannot be easily manipulated. Therefore, True Person Bai Shi has the confidence to stand up and confront True Person Yan Yuan.

There's a reason why Nine Swords True Person dared to be the first to step forward. The Seven Absolutes Sect also possesses the foundation of Nascent Soul Cultivators to suppress them, but there are only one or two of them.

Even so, the Seven Absolutes Sect's influence is far greater than that of relatively weaker Golden Core Forces like the Yang Household and Feng Household.

Following the lead of the two Golden Core Cultivators, other Golden Core Cultivators also began to voice their support.

Seeing this, True Person Yunting stepped forward again, frowning as he said, "Yan Yuan, revealing everything about the Secret Realm was indeed a bit much."

"I think it would be better to ask only three questions. The sect just wants to clarify a few things!"

Upon hearing this, True Person Yan Yuan frowned as if he were thinking.

Not far away, Yang Tianyou, who had already stood up from the ground, dressed in rags and looking disheveled, had a hint of mockery in his eyes.

The two Nascent Soul True Person, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, truly used their skills to perfection.

First, True Person Yan Yuan made a request that none of the Golden Core cultivators could possibly agree to.

Then, amidst the public outcry, True Person Yunting stepped in and, by playing the peacemaker and acting as a good guy, achieved his goal.

In this process, although he seemed to be on the side of the Golden Core, the one who actually benefited was Luochuan Sect.

What could possibly happen on a trip to the Secret Realm in just over a month?

It all boils down to questions like who owns the Secret Realm Origin's origin, whether they obtained a great fortuitous opportunity, and the cause of Xuan Gu's death.

Three questions, is that enough?

Besides, for the Luochuan Sect, it's of no use for them to find out about trivial matters.

True Person Yunting offered a way out, and although the Golden Core cultivators were still unwilling, they had no choice but to agree.

Ultimately, they were all making a living under the Luochuan Sect. Disobeying the Upper Sect once was one thing, but if it happened too often, they would easily be remembered and blacklisted.

If any major battle breaks out after that, they'll just assign you a difficult mission, and that'll be enough to make your life miserable.

Seeing the many Golden Core cultivators retreat in silence, True Person Yunting and True Person Yan Yuan exchanged a subtle glance.

Then, True Person Yan Yuan tossed the Heart-Questioning Grand Formation with a light touch, and pointed at Yang Tianyou, saying, "You go first!"

Yang Tianyou remained silent, calmly stepped forward, and entered the Heart-Questioning Grand Formation.

At this moment, he felt somewhat fortunate that he had not obtained the Secret Realm Origin or powerful artifacts such as the Three Blazing Flame Furnace.

As for resources worth more than ten million Spirit Stones, Luochuan Sect would not dare to try to seize them if they still had any shame.

As he stepped onto the Heart-Questioning Grand Formation, a strange power emanated from him, enveloping Yang Tianyou's body and giving him the feeling that he wanted to reveal the truth.

Suddenly, a mysterious power surged from the Star-Chart Disk, and Tongming voice entered his ears, "Master, don't worry, my power can withstand this Heart-Questioning Grand Formation, you can rest assured!"

Is that so?

Yang Tianyou was overjoyed, never expecting Tongming to possess such abilities.

At this moment, True Person Yan Yuan stood outside the great formation, looking at Yang Tianyou, who stood calmly in the center of the Formation, and for no reason, a feeling of annoyance arose in his heart.

Especially when he sensed the opponent's Major-Completion Blade Intent, he felt even more disgusted.

"What's wrong with me? It's just a Foundation Establishment level insect, how could it cause my State of Mind to fluctuate like this!"

Muttering to himself, True Person Yan Yuan looked at Yang Tianyou and asked a question.

With the support of the grand formation, his voice boomed like Thunder, carrying an indescribable majesty that compelled people to speak their truths.

"Yang Tianyou, I've come to ask you, is Xuan Gu's death related to you?"

"No!"

Yang Tianyou shook his head decisively. His answer did not cause any disturbance in the Heart-Questioning Grand Formation, indicating that it was the truth.

"My second question is, did you receive the Three Blazing Flame Palace's inheritance from the Central Volcano?"

"Never!"

Yang Tianyou shook his head again, without using his power of Tongming.

He has never received the inheritance of the Three Blazing Flame Palace, at least not now, and whether he can receive it in ten years is a matter of probability.

Even with a 99% chance of success, isn't there still a 1% chance of failure?

"One last question: can you enter the Three Blazing Flame Palace Secret Realm again?"

"Boom!"

Upon hearing this question, Yang Tianyou felt a surge of emotion and was about to speak about the Spatial Rift.

But at this critical moment, the power of Tongming came into play, like a clear stream, washing away the impurities in his heart and calming his mind again.

"Cannot!"

Yang Tianyou answered calmly!
