"Golden Secret Realm?"

"I've heard that it's a Golden Secret Realm set up by the Guiding Envoy of the Mystic Realm Sect, and it emerges after three years to select disciples for the Mystic Realm Sect."

"But what does the Golden Secret Realm have to do with killing Lin Mo?"

The three began discussing again.

"The Golden Secret Realm is indeed a trial for selecting disciples to join the Mystic Realm Sect. As long as one passes the trial, they can leave here and officially join the Mystic Realm Sect. I think Lin Mo will definitely participate in this trial," Qingxuan said lightly.

The Wind Thunder Sect Leader frowned and said, "If he really joins the Mystic Realm Sect, who would dare to provoke him in the future?"

"My disciple Xuanbei will also participate in this Golden Secret Realm trial," the Qingxuan Sect Master suddenly said.

The three of them focused their gaze on him, a glint of insight flashing in their eyes.

"Does the Qingxuan Sect Master mean to kill him in the Golden Secret Realm?"

"The Golden Secret Realm is a test for selecting disciples of the Mystic Realm Sect. Lin Mo definitely cannot bring his Golden Core Stage Soul Cultivator inside,"

"Moreover, the battles within the Golden Secret Realm are to select the strong. If someone falls, the Mystic Realm Sect won't pursue it too much!" The Qingxuan Sect Master said, "That's right, in this battle of the Golden Secret Realm, Lin Mo must fall within, washing away the shame of our sects."

Hearing the Qingxuan Sect Master's plan, the three sect leaders were not as pleased as imagined.

In a cultivation sect, the most important things are disciples and resources, treasures. If Lin Mo is truly killed in the Secret Realm, all of Lin Mo's treasures would be taken by the Qingxuan Sect, wouldn't they?

"The three of you should return, wait quietly for the day the Golden Secret Realm opens, that day will be Lin Mo's death anniversary."

The Qingxuan Sect Master waved his hand.

The three sect leaders hesitated to speak, but in the end, could only shake their heads, rise up, and transform into three streaks of flowing light leaving the Qingxuan Sect's main hall.

"Three old foxes, still want to compete with me for treasures." The Qingxuan Sect Master snorted coldly as he watched the three leave, then immediately transformed into a flowing light, flying into the green hills and clear waters behind the sect. Soon, he saw a young man sitting cross-legged on a stone under a waterfall like a silver stream, the youth was sitting cross-legged on a cold stone, with a cyan aura surrounding him, merging with the surroundings, making it impossible to detect his presence even with Divine Thought.

"Not bad."

Qingxuan landed beside the pool, looking at the disciple cultivating on the stone jutting out of the water, a gratified smile on his face.

And the youth sitting meticulously on the rock with eyes closed breathing, sensed Qingxuan's arrival, immediately opened his eyes, stood up, and said respectfully, "Master!"

"Your cultivation is not bad, you've already entered the Early-stage Condensation, the Green Origin Body has achieved Small Success."

Qingxuan nodded, his face spreading a satisfied smile.

This young man was Qingxuan's eldest disciple, the genius of the Qingxuan Sect, Xuanbei.

"All of this is Master's blessing. If it weren't for Master's rescue back then, I would have been eaten by wild beasts, not to mention being able to break through to the Early-stage Condensation now, all thanks to the Divine Medicine bestowed by Master." Xuanbei bowed and bent courteously, showing extreme respect.

"Good, as long as you remember the gratitude for your master."

Qingxuan nodded with great satisfaction, then shifted the topic, "Are you aware that Lin Mo has returned?"

"He's returned? I will immediately come out of seclusion to annihilate him, to avenge the two Young Sect Masters, and wash away the disgrace of the Qingxuan Sect." Xuanbei raised his head, a snake-like glint flashing in his long eyes.

"There's no need to rush; there's a Golden Core Stage master by his side. You probably can't kill him now."

Qingxuan shook his head.

"Then what does Master mean?" Xuanbei's face revealed a hint of confusion.

"I think the Golden Secret Realm trial is about to start. You are the genius of my Qingxuan Sect and my good disciple; this Mystic Realm Sect trial is to recruit disciples to join the Mystic Realm Sect, and you must participate," Qingxuan said solemnly.

Xuanbei was silent for a while, and then slowly asked, "Master, I've never understood what kind of existence the Mystic Realm Sect is, a super sect?"

"A super sect? You've been living on this planet, your vision is too narrow. The Mystic Realm Sect is a great sect in the starry sky, governing 108 cultivation planets. If you can join the Mystic Realm Sect, the resources and treasures you gain in the future will be abundant."

Qingxuan said lightly, a hint of longing flashing in his eyes.

"It governs one hundred and eight cultivation planets?"

Xuanbei's eyes widened into large spheres.

"You are only touching the tip of the iceberg of the cultivation world. You must seize this opportunity to step out and take a look," Qingxuan reminded.

"Yes, Master, I will not disappoint Master's expectations!"

Xuanbei bowed again, but his heart was filled with boundless shock. The universe was vast, and the Mystic Realm Sect actually governed 108 cultivation planets. If he could join, the resources and benefits would be inexhaustible.

"However, if you participate in the Golden Secret Realm trial, do you have the confidence to stand out or annihilate Lin Mo?"

"Lin Mo is only at the Late Innate Stage now. Even if he condenses a core, he would still only be in the Early-stage Condensation. Also, once inside the Secret Realm, his Golden Core Stage master probably can't enter. With my Green Origin Body, killing him should be easy as a flip of the hand."

Xuanbei raised his head and said.

"Hmm, your Qingxuan Body has reached the Small City Realm. With the Magic Treasure I gave you, you have the power to fight even a Golden Core Stage. Killing Lin Mo is easy, but standing out in the trial is not so simple."

"And Master means?" Xuanbei raised his head, looking at Qingxuan with puzzlement.

"My meaning is simple. You are born with a special physique, destined to be a genius. Better let your body be controlled by Master. Then, you will surely stand out in the Golden Secret Realm trial, and annihilating Lin Mo will be a minor task,"

Qingxuan said, a strange smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"Master, you want to kill me and take over my Treasure Body?"

Xuanbei's face suddenly changed, surrounded by a cyan Primordial Energy, enveloping his entire body, his aura continually rising. "Your life was saved by me, and I've spent a lot of effort cultivating you all these years. Now it's time for you to repay me."

Qingxuan was not in a hurry, instead, he slowly walked along the edge of the pool, saying, "But taking a Treasure Body is a difficult task. Fortunately, I've prepared for this moment for decades."

"Decades? Did Master infuse those elixirs I took with---?" Xuanbei's eyes widened, in disbelief that his most trusted and revered Master wanted to harm him.

"That's right."

Qingxuan stopped, his gaze suddenly cold. "In these decades, I've been using Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to aid your cultivation. They contained something called Soul-breaking Powder. Of course, to not kill you instantly, I used only small doses each time, ensuring your soul slowly separates from your body, thus preserving your Treasure Body for decades!"

Speaking, Qingxuan gazed skyward with emotion, "Xuanbei, my dear disciple, I've poured my heart into this for you. Today, it's time for you to repay me."

"Master, since you've committed to me, then help me one last time."

Xuanbei said coldly, his face no longer showing shock, fear, and trepidation, but utter indifference.

"You—"

Qingxuan's face suddenly turned pale, his Spiritual Energy immediately becoming erratic. "Master, do you take me for a fool all these decades? I used to trust you, but once I knew you wanted to take my Treasure Body, you stopped being my Master. I've never swallowed the elixirs you gave me. Besides, as for those, I deliberately spent effort. The thing you overlooked, I slipped a Poisonous Insect Poison for Soul Control in them every time."

Xuanbei clenched his fists, his entire body glowing brilliantly with green light, his aura relentlessly rising.

Qingxuan suddenly turned pale, his Spiritual Energy inside him instantly going chaotic. "Master, for decades you thought I was a fool?"
