Spirit Qi Pollution, Breaking the Bronze Divine Hall Deadlock!

[Your and Gu Xinyue's gazes were instantly drawn to the battle between the two.]

[Already frustrated by her inability to break through, Gu Xinyue raised her hand after hearing the Black-Clad Man's words and sent a streak of sword intent slashing toward Wan Yemo!]

[The sword intent of Spirit Transmutation Great Perfection was something a mere mid-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator like him could not withstand. One sword killed Wan Yemo.]

[The Black-Clad Man came before you and thanked you.]

["Thank you for lending a hand, miss!"]

[Gu Xinyue directly asked whether he knew what had happened in the Immortal Falling Secret Realm and why the spirit qi had been contaminated.]

[The Black-Clad Man said he did not know either. He had only arrived at the secret realm today, only to see Wan Yemo destroying the formation.]

[He then discovered that Wan Yemo had already become a puppet, and the battle that followed began.]

[Gu Xinyue was greatly disappointed by this.]

[At this moment, the Black-Clad Man introduced himself.]

["I am Qin Wu of the Great Qin Empire. The formation has been broken. I suggest the two of you leave as soon as possible!"]

[You shook your head and said that you could no longer leave, then explained what had happened when you went to the Pill Sect to seize the Void Breaking Pill.]

[Qin Wu's expression immediately turned somewhat ugly after hearing this.]

["Could it be that we can only be trapped to death in this Immortal Falling Secret Realm? Although Wan Yemo is dead, it is only a matter of time before the secret realm is exposed."]

[You naturally knew this outcome. In your previous simulations, the Immortal Falling Secret Realm had become a trial ground for the Three Great Sects of Green Prefecture.]

[You soon thought of a way to get Qin Wu out first, and said to him.]

["Tell them that, once you get out, if you encounter anyone from the Pill Sect, directly say that the Immortal Falling Secret Realm has already been breached. As long as they find that you are not lying, they will not suspect you!"]

[After hearing your method, Qin Wu felt that it made perfect sense. Staying behind meant certain death, so he might as well follow your words and gamble on it.]

[When Qin Wu was about to leave, you told him to go to Tianqi Academy and inform Fang Jingchun of your and Gu Xinyue's situation.]

[You also told him to ask Fang Jingchun to keep an eye on Ye Chuxue and Lin Qi's every move. If the two were no longer at Tianqi Academy, he was to investigate where they had gone.]

[Qin Wu was very surprised to hear that you actually knew Fang Jingchun.]

[Originally, he had not planned to help you. But since you knew Fang Jingchun, everyone was friends, so lending a hand was no big deal.]

[After Qin Wu left, Gu Xinyue looked at you in confusion.]

["Why did you ask Old Six to keep an eye on those two people you mentioned, instead of coming to save us?"]

[You gave a faint smile and told Gu Xinyue that you had already thought of a way to save yourselves.]

["Oh? What way?"]

[Hearing that you had a solution, Gu Xinyue was suddenly intrigued.]

[In her view, the only way was to kill your way out of the Immortal Falling Secret Realm, and the method you spoke of was clearly not that.]

[You did not explain much, because you knew that once Qin Wu went up, people from the Pill Sect would soon come down.]

[With Gu Xinyue, you made your way deep into the Immortal Falling Secret Realm, arriving at a valley.]

[Looking at the Bronze Divine Hall before you, you told her that this was the place.]

["Junior Brother, this is the method you mentioned? Surely you know about this Bronze Divine Hall. No one has been able to enter it for countless years. How are we supposed to get in?"]

[You smiled mysteriously, then, under Gu Xinyue's stunned gaze, placed both hands upon the bronze gates.]

[Just like that, Gu Xinyue watched helplessly as you pushed open the bronze gates.]

["Th-This... what on earth is going on, Junior Brother?"]

[After you entered the Bronze Divine Hall, you explained to Gu Xinyue that only those who had cultivated to the Extreme Realm of Qi Refining could push open these gates.]

[After hearing this explanation, Gu Xinyue looked at you with even greater shock.]

["Junior Brother, I never expected you to have reached the Extreme Realm of Qi Refining! I always thought it was merely a legend from ancient times!"]

["Senior Sister, feel the spirit qi in here. How is it?"]

[Gu Xinyue closed her eyes and sensed it for a moment before abruptly opening them.]

["Spirit qi that hasn't been contaminated?"]

[You were not surprised by this. In your previous simulation, you had relied on the spirit qi within the Bronze Divine Hall to cultivate for several years.]

[Moreover, at that time, you had been cultivating inside the Bronze Divine Hall while the Immortal Falling Secret Realm outside had already been contaminated for years.]

[Yet at the time, you knew nothing of it and continued cultivating in the Bronze Divine Hall for so long.]

["Senior Sister, cultivate here without worry!"]

[Gu Xinyue glanced around, then swept her gaze across the entire Bronze Divine Hall.]

[In the end, she found a suitable spot, took out the Void Breaking Pill, and swallowed it in one gulp.]

[You also found a place and began cultivating your technique.]

[Three years later, in the twelfth year, you sensed Gu Xinyue's aura growing increasingly dense.]

[Looking at the graceful figure seated not far away, you knew that Gu Xinyue was about to break through to the Void Refining Realm.]

[Not long after you stood up, the surrounding stone statues emitted dazzling light before drilling into your body.]

[Having experienced it once already, you knew this was the inheritance of the Bronze Divine Hall, reserved only for those who opened the gates and gained its recognition.]

[A month later, Gu Xinyue successfully broke through to the initial stage of the Void Refining Realm, though she also suffered considerable internal injuries.]

[In the thirteenth year, after a year of recuperation, Gu Xinyue's injuries had fully recovered.]

["It's time to go out, Junior Brother!"]

[You had no objection. Gu Xinyue, at the initial stage of the Void Refining Realm, could be said to stand at the pinnacle of Green Prefecture. Almost no one could rival her.]

[After leaving the Bronze Divine Hall, you discovered that the Immortal Falling Secret Realm had been thoroughly contaminated.]

[Fortunately, there were not many people in the secret realm at present. When you arrived at the exit and were preparing to leave, you suddenly discovered that the entrance to the secret realm had been sealed.]

[When you tried to use the Great Void Technique to leave, you found that you could not pass through the seal.]

[Your gaze then turned to Gu Xinyue.]

["Move aside, Junior Brother. Watch me break it with one sword!"]

["One Sword Seals the Heavens!"]

[You watched as Gu Xinyue casually swung her sword, transforming it into a Startling Swan streak of Sword Qi that slashed toward the seal.]

[With a bang, the seal shattered!]

[You left the Immortal Falling Secret Realm and arrived in the skies above the Sky Abyss.]

[After looking around, you found no one nearby. You then said to Gu Xinyue.]

["Senior Sister! I need to visit Senior Brother Fang!"]

[You had thought that Gu Xinyue would leave to handle her own affairs, but she unexpectedly wanted to go with you.]

["Do you want to separate from Senior Sister that badly?"]

["Senior Sister will go with you. Besides, I haven't seen Old Six in a long time either!"]
