Secret Realm? Holographic Projection Is Better
As soon as Yi Xuan entered the sect's main hall, he found that the sect leader and all the elders except for the three supreme elders were gathered in the hall.
Upon seeing Yi Xuan arrive, Cui Yan smiled and said, "Junior Brother Yi, we've been waiting for you! A disciple has brought some important news that requires a decision from all the sect's higher-ups!"
Yi Xuan sized up the twenty or so people present, finally fixing his gaze on Cui Yan.
"Sect Leader! You know my situation. If there's anything you need my help with, then you can tell me. Please don't ask me to make decisions about sect affairs!"
If Yi Xuan were asked to research a new product, Yi Xuan would be incredibly enthusiastic. But when it came to management matters like sect decision-making, Yi Xuan was completely overwhelmed.
In his previous life, Yi Xuan, who was a technician, was very resistant to management.
Although he knew in his heart that, given the social environment at the time, the best way out for technical professionals was to switch to management.
But Yi Xuan in his previous life just couldn't understand why technicians couldn't concentrate on researching technology.
Every time Yi Xuan thinks about how, in his previous life, he was a technician who had to engage in insincere dealings with his superiors and other companies at dinner parties, he feels extremely uncomfortable.
I thought that now that I've entered the Cultivation Realm, I can finally focus on researching technology, but I never expected that Sect Master Cui would drag me into some sect decision-making.
Therefore, everything ultimately comes down to management.
As the old saying goes, if you can't resist, then try to enjoy it.
Seeing Yi Xuan nod in agreement, Cui Yan showed a relieved expression. At the same time, he waved behind him, and a person dressed in the robes of a sect disciple entered through a side door.
Upon seeing the man Yi Xuan was somewhat surprised to discover that the boy was the disciple who had bought a triangular bayonet from his stall for five Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
The disciple spotted Yi Xuan immediately upon entering the main hall.
Ignoring the current situation, he ran directly to Yi Xuan, knelt down, and began to kowtow.
Yi Xuan was somewhat confused by his actions, but with so many people watching, Yi Xuan quickly helped the disciple up.
What are you doing?
Upon hearing Yi Xuan's question, the disciple looked at Yi Xuan with gratitude and said, "Protector Yi, you are my savior. If it weren't for the triangular bayonet you sold me back then, I might not be seeing you today."
After hearing what the other party said, Yi Xuan roughly understood the reason, and figured that his triangular bayonet must have helped him a lot.
"You pay me, I sell you things, it's a fair trade, there's no favor involved! If you want to be grateful, be grateful for your good fortune! By the way, your name is Liu...?"
Upon hearing that Yi Xuan actually remembered his surname, the disciple excitedly exclaimed, "Liu Xing!"
"Ahem!" Seeing that Liu Xing's emotions had stabilized, Cui Yan, who was standing next to him, shifted everyone's attention to him.
"Here's what happened. A few days ago, while Liu Xing was doing a sect mission, he encountered an Evil Dao cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage! Liu Xing used the Law Treasure Protector Yi sold him to kill the Evil Dao cultivator! However, while checking the cultivator's Storage Bag, Liu Xing found this item!"
The sect leader then held up a piece of skin from some unknown animal and showed it to everyone present.
Yi Xuan stared at the piece of leather without any reaction.
The other elders, however, kept expressing their astonishment.
"What? It's appeared again?"
"Hmm! Judging by the timing, it really should be happening soon!"
"It seems that Heaven still has mercy on my Azure Cloud Sect!"
Yi Xuan felt as if the teacher had given a question that everyone in the class knew the answer to, but he was the only one who didn't. This feeling made Yi Xuan feel extremely embarrassed.
Cui Yan seemed to have noticed this, and said to Yi Xuan with a smile, "Junior Brother Yi, you haven't been practicing for very long, so it's understandable that you don't know the use of this!"
"Twenty years? Is that still early?" This thought arose in everyone's mind.
However, everyone knows that the sect leader only said that out of consideration for Yi Xuan.
"Sect Leader, what exactly is this piece of skin? It seems like all the elders look very familiar with it!"
Cui Yan nodded and said, "This is a map, or you could say a key! A key to enter the secret realm!"
Next, the sect leader Yi Xuan in very concise terms.
In the Cultivation Realm, there have always been various secret realms, which are based on other-dimensional spaces that exist within the Cultivation Realm.
The map in Cui Yan's hand is the key to the Artifact Ruins Secret Realm. This Artifact Ruins is the site of a High Antiquity Artifact Sect- refining sect, appearing once every thirty years. It appears at a random location in the Southern Frontier, and only those who obtain the map can go there according to the map's instructions.
There will be a total of thirty of these maps in the entire Southern Frontier. The ruins will only be opened when all thirty maps are gathered at the location of the ruins at the same time within a specified period.
When the secret realm opens, each map can allow ten people to enter. And after the secret realm closes, the thirty maps will be scattered throughout the Southern Frontier by the ruins, awaiting the next opening of the ruins.
After hearing Sect Master Cui's explanation, Yi Xuan blinked and looked at Sect Master Cui curiously, asking, "Are you sure what will be summoned is a relic, and not a divine dragon?"
To Yi Xuan, the setting of this ruin was all too familiar.
Isn't this just the setting from the Japanese anime Dragon Ball from its previous life?
Yi Xuan was somewhat curious whether a Saiyan would emerge from the ruins when they were opened.
If that were the case, the Cultivation Realm would be in for a world of trouble; that beast-like race would be absolutely capable of crushing the entire Cultivation Realm.
Cui Yan asked curiously, "A divine dragon? How did you come up with such a mythical beast? Although this ruin is the site of High Antiquity Artifact Sect, it is still a cultivation sect. How could a divine dragon possibly exist here? It is said that only in the legendary Immortal Realm can one find traces of divine dragons!"
Yi Xuan waved his hand at the sect leader, indicating that he didn't need to be bothered with.
Seeing that Yi Xuan had grasped the general situation of the Artifact Ruins, Cui Yan waved his hand, and a blue image appeared in front of him.
He pointed to the illusory figure before him and said, "Elders! Some of you participated in the previous Artifact Ruins Secret Realm, and some of you, though not involved, have heard of it. This is the image of the Artifact Ruins entrance that I left behind when it appeared last time. You can take a look and understand!"
Everyone else was watching the image of the entrance to the Artifact Ruins with curiosity.
Yi Xuan was no exception, his gaze fixed on the image. However, Yi Xuan's expression was different from the others. While the others were trying hard to memorize the image of the entrance to the Artifact Ruins, Yi Xuan would sometimes look at the image of the entrance to the Artifact Ruins, and sometimes at Sect Leader Cui Yan, who was Imaging Technique.
After a long pause, Cui Yan withdrew his Imaging Technique and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Yi Xuan's loud laughter.
"Hahaha! Isn't this just a holographic projection? How come I didn't think of that before?"
After saying that, he left the sect's main hall in a mad manner.
The sect leader and the elders exchanged bewildered glances, wondering what was wrong with Yi Xuan.
Just as Yi Xuan's figure was about to disappear from everyone's sight, his voice rang out in the hall. "Sect Leader! You can make the decision! Whatever the sect decides, I will support it. I have suddenly had some insights and need to return to seclusion for a while!"
