Journey to the Secret Realm, Fulfilling the Mission

"Heh, if that's the case, then let's set off. We'll kill that True Person Taiyi's successor first, and then we'll come back and settle accounts with the Kunlun Sect!" Celestial Venerable Yuanshi laughed coldly, his smile filled with intense murderous intent.

"The Kunlun Sect actually possesses such a powerful secret realm; no wonder they're so arrogant." The Heavenly Emperor nodded in agreement.

Even the Western Queen Mother hadn't expected that while they were in the Heavenly Court, they had always thought the Kunlun Sect was weak. Now, after hearing the words of the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, they realized that the Kunlun Sect's strength far exceeded their expectations.

"Alright, let's set off now," said Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, and then the three of them flew towards the Heavenly Palace.

The Mount Kunlun Range, located between the Heavenly Court and the Western Buddha Kingdom, are a continuous mountain range, towering tens of thousands of feet high and stretching for thousands of miles. Within this mountain range are numerous cave abode, where all kinds of immortal herbs and plants grow, making it a perfect secret realm for cultivation.

The Kunlun Sect is located deep within the Mount Kunlun Range. This is the headquarters of the Kunlun Sect and the most powerful sect in the entire Mount Kunlun Range. Their leader is a Daluo Golden Immortal.

"Master, we really need to be careful this time. I feel this matter is definitely not simple. I heard that the Western Queen Mother and her followers have already come to our place. They've come with great force, and it seems they're already prepared to attack. Moreover, they have a powerful figure accompanying them this time. If that person comes as well, the pressure on us could be immense!"

Inside a magnificent palace, several people gathered together. In the center of the palace sat a middle-aged man dressed in a green robe, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. He was none other than the leader of the Kunlun Sect, True Person Taiyi.

Beside True Person Taiyi were several other people, each of whom was extremely powerful. Around these people were hundreds of stone tablets, each engraved with various runes and emanating a faint holy aura. Moreover, the surface of each stone tablet was carved with various totems, exuding an ancient and vast aura.

"Hmph! They dare to come, how could we possibly fear them? I've long heard that the Western Queen Mother is very powerful, but we have True Person Taiyi here. No matter how powerful that woman is, she can't possibly harm us. The foundation of our Kunlun Sect is beyond their imagination!" True Person Taiyi said arrogantly, extremely confident in his True Person Taiyi strength.

"Senior Uncle, I also have some doubts about this matter. After all, Yang Fan's strength is terrifying!" A handsome monk dressed in red robes stepped forward and respectfully looked at True Person Taiyi.

Upon hearing the monk's words, True Person Taiyi frowned and said in a deep voice, "Monk, do you mean you don't think Yang Fan did this?"

Although he had never witnessed Yang Fan's fighting prowess, he knew just how powerful Yang Fan was. He felt that the monk's words were as if he were questioning Yang Fan's judgment.

"Master Uncle, this is merely a guess. Moreover, based on my deduction, the Western Queen Mother, the Heavenly Emperor, and the Heavenly Empress are not as powerful as they seem. I believe there may be more to this matter than meets the eye." The monk pondered for a moment before speaking. "However, I believe this Yang Fan is extremely powerful. If he is allowed to grow stronger, he may bring great disaster to our Kunlun Sect."

Upon hearing the monk's words, True Person Taiyi fell into deep thought. He knew the monk was right; Yang Fan's strength had far exceeded his expectations. If this guy were to grow any stronger, the harm to the Kunlun Sect would be immense, which was something True Person Taiyi could not allow.

"Then, in your opinion, who did this?" True Person Taiyi asked after a moment of silence.

"Master, I believe this matter was definitely not the work of the Western Queen Mother. After all, neither the Western Queen Mother nor the Heavenly Emperor and Empress are a match for the Kunlun Sect. However, we must be cautious, because in this world, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests," the monk said calmly, his eyes revealing a wise light. He had a very strong ability to judge people.

After listening to the monk's words, True Person Taiyi nodded. What the monk said made a lot of sense.

"Alright, since that's the case, then I'll leave this matter to you. I'll go into seclusion for a while to cultivate, and then deal with this matter after I emerge from seclusion!" After saying this, True Person Taiyi got up and walked out of the palace.

After seeing True Person Taiyi leave, the other elders of the Kunlun Sect stood up, bowed to the monk, and then withdrew. The monk who remained glanced in the direction where True Person Taiyi had disappeared and narrowed his eyes slightly.

In the Heavenly Court, within a secluded chamber of the Kunlun Sect, True Person Taiyi sat cross-legged, his hands rapidly Hand Seals. Immediately, clusters of pure soul power surged from between his brows and merged into the void.

As True Person Taiyi made his hand seals, the immense soul power instantly condensed into a lotus flower. The lotus flower exuded a powerful pressure, and a vast pressure emanated from it, as if even the entire void was being suppressed. This was True Person Taiyi's soul lotus flower, and this soul lotus flower represented True Person Taiyi's strength.

The soul power within this lotus flower was also incredibly vast, many times stronger than the soul power Yang Fan had unleashed before. This was a sign of a cultivator's increased strength.

"Master, you've emerged from seclusion?" As soon as True Person Taiyi opened his eyes, his eldest True Person Taiyi rushed in and asked.

True Person Taiyi nodded and said calmly, "Yes, I just came out of seclusion."

"Master, when we leave this seclusion, will we go to West Ox Hezhou?" the eldest disciple asked again.

True Person Taiyi shook his head and said, "Not for now. However, I think that the Western Queen Mother and her Western Queen Mother are likely the Western Queen Mother pulling the strings behind the scenes. So I want to make a trip to West Ox Hezhou, and you should come with me. If our Kunlun Sect encounters any danger, you should run for your life. I have high hopes for your talent, so I'm troubling you this time!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Master. I will certainly live up to your expectations!" the eldest disciple bowed and thanked him.

True Person Taiyi nodded, and then his figure suddenly disappeared, leaving only the enormous lotus flower of his soul suspended in mid-air.
