#2448 - Open the door again

When Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli returned to the Taiqing Hall's plaza, Wan had already been waiting there.

They didn't say anything and directly returned to Qingli Hall.

The Taiqing Sect Master and the others landed on the plaza and had people clear away the corpses.

Some of the old ancestors with profound backgrounds went to the various formation eyes of the sect's killing array to re-refine them, so as to completely control it.

In the past, some formation eyes were controlled by Gongzi Yu's forces.

As a result, they had to obtain Gongzi Yu's consent to use the sect's killing array; otherwise, the grand formation could not be activated.

Now it's different.

They could completely activate the killing array themselves.

Therefore, Gongzi Yu's forces had withdrawn from the sect, and if they wanted to return, they had to be able to contend against the sect's killing array.

Before the arrival of the powerhouses from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect, Gongzi Yu and the others would definitely not be able to do so.

"The Taiqing Secret Realm will open in a few days; I wonder how many realms Lord Jun will be able to break through in the Taiqing Secret Realm."

"Now it seems that his trump card is himself."

"As long as he can break through to the Eternal God Realm, we may still have a chance to contend against the powerhouses from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect."

The Taiqing Sect Master stood on the steps in front of the Taiqing Hall, gazing into the distance, and said softly.

"With Lord Jun's strength, if he can break through to the Eternal God Realm, he will naturally have the strength to kill those in the Legendary Realm."

"The only thing to fear is that there will be too many powerhouses sent by the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect."

"No matter how heaven-defying Lord Jun is, the Eternal God Realm cannot contend against multiple Legendary Realm powerhouses."

"Regardless, we at least have hope now."

An old ancestor with profound background said.

They used to place all their hopes on Mo Qingli.

At that time, the hope was extremely slim, and they could hardly see any hope at all.

Now it's different; with such a heaven-defying existence like Lord Jun, the hope is much greater than before.

… …

In the territory controlled by the Taiqing Sect, the Xuanlei Hall and the Lieyan Hall were currently relocating.

After the Xuanlei Hall Master and the Lieyan Hall Master returned, they immediately summoned everyone in their respective halls and headed towards Yu Hall in a mighty and grand manner.

They didn't dare to continue staying in their own halls, fearing that Jun Wuxie and the others would come to their door to kill them.

… …

Inside Yu Hall, Gongzi Yu was venting the anger in his heart.

He was filled with baleful aura, his eyes were extremely cold, and his black hair danced wildly, like a crazed beast.

At today's sect assembly, he had intended to take the opportunity to deal with Jun Wuxie and put pressure on Mo Qingli and the Sect Master.

However, he had not expected such an ending.

Not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he was also forced to withdraw from the sect headquarters, most of his high-level subordinates were dead, and even several of the old ancestors who supported him were seriously injured.

"Yu, that Jun fellow must not live! Otherwise, the consequences will be endless. Even if we go to the Hunyuan Great World in the future, we can't guarantee that we won't be retaliated against by him."

"This person's talent is too terrifying. If he also goes to the Hunyuan Great World in the future, once he sets his sights on us, the consequences will be endless!"

"Of course I understand!"

"This person has repeatedly ruined my plans and opposed me; how can I let him go!"

After venting his anger, Gongzi Yu calmed down and said coldly, "I will immediately contact the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect and inform them of this matter, so that they can make more thorough preparations!"

"That's right, we must kill that Jun fellow!"

"With his strength, coupled with Mo Qingli and the others, they have already gained a slight advantage."

"He came to the Taiqing Sect, it seems, to receive reinforcements from Mo Qingli and the others; otherwise, why would he suddenly come here."

"I don't know how Mo Qingli and the others managed to send the message out."

"How could that Jun fellow cross the starry sky to come here in the current environment."

"However, since he dares to come, he must still have trump cards."

"If we want to be foolproof, we can only rely on the powerhouses from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect…"

Gongzi Yu said with a cold face, "I don't know how stable the passage constructed by the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect is now; whether they can send one or two powerhouses down first."

"In a few days, it will be the day the Taiqing Secret Realm opens."

"With our current strength, it will be difficult to gain an advantage in the competition for resources in the Taiqing Secret Realm."

"Jun Wuxie, coupled with Mo Qingli's strength, may even pose a great threat to us in the secret realm."

"That makes sense; if the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect can send one or two Legendary Realm powerhouses down to the lower realm, that would be the best."

"Wait and see, they will eventually be unable to escape their predetermined fate!"

"So what if it's Jun Wuxie; no matter how heaven-defying he is, don't even think about breaking the situation!"

"He's just a cultivator from the God Era; wanting to contend against the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect is no different from an ant trying to shake a tree."

"His ending is already destined; he will undoubtedly die!"

Gongzi Yu laughed coldly as he said this.

Once a large number of Legendary Realm powerhouses from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect descend, what will the Jun fellow and Mo Qingli and the others use to resist?

… …

At the same time, in Qingli Hall.

After Jun Wuxie, Wan, and Mo Qingli returned, they directly returned to the sleeping palace and devoted themselves to cultivation.

He didn't plan to refine resources to break through realms, after all, time was limited.

Even with the Tianyuan Immortal Jade, it would be difficult for him to make a breakthrough in realm in this short amount of time.

It had been quite some time since he last obtained the Taiyin Divine Gold.

The fifth level of the Zhenyu Tower had been repaired, and he had the resources to open the Mystic Gate, but he had not yet attempted to break through it.

This time, he planned to open the Mystic Gate and cultivate the Primordial Avatar.

He entered the Eternal Life Divine Palace and constructed a Time Rune Formation inside.

"Is the Young Master planning to open the Mystic Gate and cultivate the Primordial Avatar?"

The Vermillion Bird appeared, wearing a golden-red feathered robe, noble and elegant, with unparalleled grace.

"It's time; now that the fifth level of the Zhenyu Tower has been repaired, I can take the Nine Heavens Essence Blood."

Saying that, he looked at the Zhenyu Tower and said, "Qingxue, I won't enter the tower; just take out the Nine Heavens Essence Blood."

"Okay."

Ye Qingxue's response came from inside.

Not long after, the Zhenyu Tower trembled slightly, and an extremely terrifying aura overflowed from within.

This aura, wrapped in darkness, evil, bloodthirst, violence, and other negative states that made people's minds crack, swept out.

Immediately following was a violent roar.

However, that aura and roar came to an abrupt end and subsided in just a short moment.

Ye Qingxue emerged from the Zhenyu Tower, dressed in white like snow, with an unparalleled immortal beauty, and landed in front of Jun Wuxie.

"Open the Mystic Gate first or cultivate the Primordial Avatar first?"

In her palm floated a drop of crimson, crystalline blood, a drop of blood essence that condensed the essence, energy, and spirit of a peak Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, imprisoned by her Military Dao power.

"Open the Mystic Gate first; let's see if I can obtain another Innate Art this time."

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he walked into the Time Rune Formation and sat down cross-legged.

The Vermillion Bird took out the Taiyin True Gold, peeled off a thin layer of metal skin, refined it with Vermillion Bird Divine Flame, and injected it into his body.

The moment the melted Taiyin True Gold entered his body, Jun Wuxie only felt an extremely yin and cold aura rapidly spread out.

His limbs and bones instantly stiffened.

A layer of Taiyin cold air covered his body.

Almost at the same time, the Solar True Fire flowed throughout his body, which allowed his body to regain consciousness.

He circulated the Primordial Golden Body Art, fused the Taiyin True Gold, condensed life essence, and began to impact the Mystic Gate.

During this process, a vast momentum continued to resound inside his body, like the roar of thousands of rivers.

The majestic life essence continued to surge towards the Mystic Gate.

The Mystic Gate was as strong as immortal iron and did not move at all at the beginning.

As time passed, the Mystic Gate gradually began to shake.

After he continuously impacted it for nearly a month inside the Time Rune Formation, he finally broke through the Mystic Gate.

At this moment, the Mystic Gate opened, generating majestic and pure life energy, which frantically surged towards his limbs and bones.

This power tempered his meridians, internal organs, bones, and flesh, continuously increasing the strength of his physical body, and making the stars in the Cave Heaven Star Sea even more condensed.

The Wheel of Life was also strengthened accordingly.

However, he did not wait for the Innate Art he wanted.

It was not until many days later, when the improvement brought about by the opening of the Mystic Gate had completely stopped, that he still had not obtained the Innate Secret Art.

"It seems that the probability of obtaining the Innate Secret Art after opening the Mystic Gate will become lower and lower…"

He was a little disappointed, but he did not dwell on it.

After all, the probability of obtaining the Innate Secret Art after opening the Mystic Gate was already extremely low.

From the opening of the first Mystic Gate to the present, he had already obtained several kinds of Innate Secret Arts.

The more Innate Secret Arts he obtained, the smaller the chance of continuing to acquire Innate Secret Arts.

Although there was no Innate Secret Art this time, the improvement he obtained was still very significant.

The strength of his physical body had increased several times!

This was the benefit brought about by the Mystic Gate.

The conditions for opening the Mystic Gate were harsh, and the resources required were rare in the world, not to mention the extremely high requirements for the cultivator himself.

If one was not careful, not only would they fail to open the Mystic Gate, but they might even suffer serious backlash as a result, or even lose their lives.

He opened his eyes, and the Vermillion Bird and Ye Qingxue looked over at the same time, their eyes filled with a hint of anticipation.

"Don't look at me like that; there is no Innate Secret Art this time…"

Jun Wuxie said with a smile.

"No? That's a bit of a pity…"

Ye Qingxue and the Vermillion Bird couldn't help but feel a touch of disappointment.

In fact, they were very clear that the probability of awakening the Mystic Gate and obtaining a secret art was extremely low, let alone an Innate Secret Art.

Moreover, he had already obtained several kinds of Innate Secret Arts, so the probability was even lower.

Even if he was as amazing as him, it was still extremely slim.

However, they still longed for him to be able to obtain another Innate Secret Art.

After all, this kind of secret art was too powerful and had heaven-defying effects.

"Aunt You, Qingxue, why are you more greedy than me?"

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but feel speechless when he saw the look of disappointment in their eyes.

"Of course Aunt You hopes that the Young Master will cultivate as many Innate Secret Arts as possible."

"After all, they are Innate Arts, not too many, all of which have heaven-defying effects."

"If it's not there, then it's not there. The basic effects of opening the Qimen are already very strong. Especially on you, the potential stimulated by opening the Qimen is much stronger than other geniuses."

Ye Qingxue said, extending her slender palm, "I have refined the murderous intent from the Nine Heavens Essence Blood."

"No hurry."

Jun Wuxie walked out of the Time Array Formation and came to Ye Qingxue, admiring her peerless beauty.

Being stared at by him like this, Ye Qingxue's eyes trembled slightly, avoiding his gaze, and a hint of red gradually appeared on her crystalline white cheeks.

Jun Wuxie reached out and embraced her.

"Aunt You is still here, you…"

Ye Qingxue struggled slightly, feeling a little restrained in front of Aunt You.

"Don't move, let me hold you for a while."

Jun Wuxie whispered in her ear.

Immediately, he felt the slight struggle in his arms gradually cease, and she hugged him back.

Ye Qingxue rested her head on his shoulder, quietly feeling his warmth and heartbeat, a sense of security filling her heart.

With her cultivation in the Heavenly Emperor Realm, she shouldn't have such a feeling.

How powerful is a Heavenly Emperor? Why would she need to seek a sense of security from another person?

But every time she held his hand or embraced him, she seemed to turn back into that little girl from back then.

Just like the feeling of being cared for in his arms, it made her feel so secure and so safe.

Suzaku watched them tenderly not far away, a faint smile on her face.

Such a scene made Suzaku feel exceptionally warm.

She was happy for the princess.

The princess had lived too hard her whole life, from childhood to becoming famous in the starry sky, she had always been a lone wolf.

But she knew that deep down inside, the princess also had a soft side.

She also needed warmth.

It was just a pity that the environment of the heavens and earth back then was too cruel, and her father was therefore very strict with her, rarely allowing her to feel fatherly love.

In some ways, emotions were missing from the princess's life.

This could also explain why that time when she lost her cultivation and memory and met the young master in the Divine Ancient World was so deeply imprinted in her memory.

Thinking of this, Suzaku silently disappeared and returned to the Town Universe Tower.

She didn't want her presence to disturb their time alone.

The young master did not immediately fuse the Nine Heavens Essence Blood to cultivate the Primordial Avatar after opening the Qimen, obviously to take the time to be with the princess.
