" Chen Mu, Mu Zhuo, now it's your turn to make a move!"

Go and see how long it will take to open this gate.

Divine Lord Xuanji looked at Chen Mu and the other person, and said in an icy tone.

"Yes!"

Talisman-Robed Chen Mu and Mu Zhuo immediately bowed their heads in agreement and stepped forward toward the golden gate.

This golden gate was magnificent and ancient in style, covered with dense Ancient Runes. Most of these Ancient Runes were obscure and difficult to understand. Even though Chen Mu was very knowledgeable, he had never seen more than half of them before.

"Senior Mu Zhuo, are you confident?"

After a while, Talisman-Robed Chen Mu, frowned and asked True Person Qizhuo beside him.

True Person Qizhuo's face turned bitter. He shook his head and said, "I have absolutely no clue."

Talisman-Robed Chen Mu seemed to have guessed this outcome as well. After pondering for a moment, he turned around and returned to Divine Lord Xuanji.

"Lady Xuanji, may I ask what the origin of this place is?"

If you could inform us, it might speed up the process of opening this door.

Although Divine Lord Xuanji was arrogant, he knew that to open this secret realm, he had to rely on Chen Mu and Mu Zhuo.

So she organized her thoughts and explained to the two of them.

"This place Kunlun Secret Realm. It was created after the Kunlun Heaven appeared."

Legend has it that this place possesses the power to transform mortals into gods, making it the most famous blessed land in Kunlun Heaven.

More than 10,000 years ago, the great war of the gods tore the Kunlun Heaven apart, and the entrance to the Kunlun Secret Realm fell into the Tomb of the Gods.

When the Kunlun Secret Realm first fell, it would open on its own, and many cultivators obtained opportunities within it.

However, it is estimated that the energy at the entrance to the Kunlun Secret Realm was exhausted more than 8,000 years ago, and the secret realm has never been opened again since.

In ancient times, the Heavenly Realm was Kunlun, which is actually the same place.

However, since the Heavenly Court established the Nine Heavens Realm, in order to distinguish them, the former Heavenly Realm were called the Primordial Heavenly Realm by later generations. But some ancient beings also habitually called the Primordial Heavenly Realm Kunlun Heaven.

"Over the past eight thousand years, our Heavenly Court has sent several groups of people here to try to open the secret realm, but all their efforts have been in vain."

Besides the depletion of the secret realm's energy, this should also be related to the last person to enter the Kunlun Secret Realm.

Even the proud Divine Lord Xuanji, in his final moments, couldn't hide a hint of apprehension in his eyes.

"May I ask who was the last person to enter the secret realm?"

Chen Mu pressed for an answer.

" Yang Wentian, a legendary marksman and the first master of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion."

"It was him?"

Chen Mu looked surprised.

He had once heard Mingye say that Yan Xue had been banished to the Tomb of the Gods by the Heavenly Court, and that Yang Wentian had also sneaked into the Tomb of the Gods to save her.

Later, for reasons unknown, Yang Wentian's strength increased greatly, and he even gained the power to fight against the Heavenly Emperor.

It now seems that Yang Wentian's cultivation level is probably related to this Kunlun Secret Realm. It's just unknown what he did here, and why the Kunlun Secret Realm is so difficult to open now.

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Lady Xie. I will go and think of another way."

Talisman-Robed Chen Mu, bowed respectfully, then turned and walked back to the gate of the Kunlun Secret Realm, where he began to ponder deeply.

"Since the last person to enter the Kunlun Secret Realm was Patriarch Wentian, then Ancestor Yan Xue should also be here. Perhaps using the talismanic Dao of Talismans passed down by Ancestor Yan Xue might bring about some change."

Thinking of this, Talisman-Robed Chen Mu, changed his hand seals, and after a moment, two talisman imprints appeared in his palms, which he then imprinted into the gate.

Whoosh... whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The golden runes on the gate suddenly reacted, beginning to pulsate. They kept scattering and reforming, seemingly searching for some kind of point of convergence.

"It really works!"

Talisman-Robed Chen Mu, was overjoyed. The talismans on his left and right hands were the Time Dao of Talismans and the Fate Dao of Talismans, respectively, both incredibly profound and obscure runic paths.

To date, he has only grasped the Fate Dao of Talismans, and has only dabbled in the Time Dao of Talismans, without fully comprehending it.

Not far from the entrance to the Kunlun Secret Realm, Chen Mu and his two companions were hiding and talking.

" Chen Mu, so, have you figured out how to break through that gate?"

Seeing that Chen Mu had suddenly opened his eyes, White Turtle asked anxiously.

"I've found a way. If I go all out, I should be able to open the gate within three days."

Chen Mu had already figured it out. The runes at the entrance to the Kunlun Secret Realm were not difficult to open originally. The reason they were difficult to open now was because the runes had been modified by Yan Xue. Unless one had cultivated her inheritance, it would be very difficult for others to decipher them.

"What I'm hesitating about now is whether to simply abandon this stand-in and pretend that the door can't be opened."

"After the people from Heavenly Court leave, we'll find a way to get in and seize the fortune."

If Talisman-Robed Chen Mu, cannot open this place, he will likely be killed by Divine Lord Xuanji. Although only one-tenth of Chen Mu's Divine Soul is there, it is still a considerable injury. He does not want to take this step unless absolutely necessary.

"It's no use. I've heard a little about this Kunlun Secret Realm before. It's not something you can just enter casually."

Do you see the ancient mirror in Divine Lord Xuanji's hand? Without this ancient mirror, the gate to the Kunlun Secret Realm would never have appeared. Even if you could break through the gate, you would have no way to enter.

When the White Turtle learned that this place was actually the famous Kunlun Secret Realm, he was very excited, but he was also well aware of how difficult it was to enter this place.

"Why? When Patriarch Wentian entered the Kunlun Secret Realm, surely he didn't also have an ancient mirror like this?"

Chen Mu looked puzzled.

"That's because he has a connection with the Kunlun Secret Realm. You should know that the Kunlun Secret Realm is the most mysterious place in the world. Its entrance is not fixed, but is constantly changing."

If I'm not mistaken, the ancient mirror that Divine Lord Xuanji is holding should be the " Kunlun Mirror," a time-space artifact that can see the past and future. It is one of the ten most famous artifacts from ancient times.

Throughout the entire Kunlun Heaven, only this ancient mirror can actively locate the entrance to the Kunlun Secret Realm; otherwise, one can only wait for the Kunlun Secret Realm to open on its own, a situation that is extremely rare in history.

The White Turtle stroked its long whiskers, answering Chen Mu's question.

"I see. In that case, we must cooperate with these divine lords to enter the secret realm."

Chen Mu spoke, a look of resentment appeared on his face.

"That's right! And if you look around, you might think that cooperating with them might not be a bad thing."

Chen Mu was taken aback upon hearing this, and quickly looked in the direction indicated by the White Turtle. Only then did he realize that the entrance to the Kunlun Secret Realm was already surrounded by mutated monsters.
