Chapter 2485 - 2175: Heavenly Profound Sacred Land Withdraws from the Border Wilderness

Feeling the surging power within her body, Chu Yuqin confirmed that she could indeed enter the Ancient Ruins, but the problem now was that if she entered the ruins, the disciples of various forces at the entrance would discover it.

Once her identity was detected, the disciples and elders of the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land outside would be besieged, ultimately becoming hostages of various forces.

When she came out of the ruins, those forces would definitely threaten her with the lives of Heavenly Profound disciples to make her hand over the Ancient Inheritance.

Therefore, she had to think of a way to avoid the surveillance of various forces, or make people unaware of who entered the ruins.

After much thought, Chu Yuqin came up with a good idea.

After all, not everyone can enter the Ancient Ruins, so the disciples and elders of Heavenly Profound Sacred Land staying in the Border Wilderness are also useless; they might as well leave the wilderness and return to Central State.

Then she could quietly enter the Ancient Ruins alone.

Of course, doing so would expose her to some danger.

When she emerged from the Ancient Ruins, she might face the siege of Saint Realm experts from various forces.

However, if she wanted to escape alone, it would be much easier; she was a Saint Realm after all, with the ability to save herself.

Thinking of this, Chu Yuqin immediately summoned the elders of the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land.

A moment later, the elders of the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land all arrived at her room.

Seeing everyone was present, Chu Yuqin took out a Sound Insulation Pearl, and then infused it with Spiritual Power. The room instantly formed a sound insulation barrier, isolating everyone’s voices from the outside.

Seeing Chu Yuqin being so cautious, one elder asked curiously, "Elder, why have you summoned us? Has something happened?"

Chu Yuqin promptly said, "I plan to return to Heavenly Profound Sacred Land; it’s meaningless to continue staying here."

Hearing this, one elder hurriedly said, "Elder absolutely cannot do that! The Holy Master has given us orders to obtain the Ancient Inheritance; it’s crucial for the Holy Master."

Chu Yuqin glanced at the elders present; she didn’t dare reveal her ability to enter the ruins now, fearing that there might be spies from other forces among the elders.

If any elder betrayed the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, once she disclosed her ability to enter the ruins, it would soon reach the ears of other forces, making it impossible for Heavenly Profound Sacred Land’s people to leave the Border Wilderness.

Chu Yuqin then said, "My mind is made up, and about the Holy Master, I will provide an explanation."

This...

All the elders looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

At this moment, one elder asked, "Elder, why are you in such a hurry to leave the Border Wilderness?"

They didn’t have any urgent matters; logically, there was no need to leave so hastily, especially since no one could predict any changes in the ruins.

What if the mysterious power at the entrance dissipated one day?

Once the mysterious power at the entrance dissipated, even without the specific individuals as mentioned by Tianji Pavilion, they could enter the ruins.

The purpose of various forces dividing territories is ultimately to wait for changes in the ruins.

Moreover, they are also looking for people who can enter the ruins.

Even if the ruins do not experience any changes, if they find someone who can resist the erosion of that mysterious power, they can also compete for the Ancient Inheritance.

Isn’t it too early to give up on the Ancient Inheritance now?

If nothing major happens to the Sacred Land, there is entirely no need to leave so early.

At this juncture, Chu Yuqin said, "It’s been so long, and none of the forces have found anyone who can enter the Ancient Ruins."

"This proves that those who can withstand the erosion of the mysterious power are extremely rare. Even if they find someone with a special physique, the person may not help the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land search for the Ancient Inheritance."

"Moreover, there’s only one Ancient Inheritance, and so many people want it, it’ll inevitably spark a bloody battle."

"Currently, all the ancestors of Heavenly Profound Sacred Land are in seclusion; if we suffer severe losses in the scramble for the Ancient Inheritance, the strength of Heavenly Profound Sacred Land will be significantly weakened. Should Sky Demon Sect or enemy forces attack, Heavenly Profound Sacred Land might not withstand it."

"The ancestor once said that this hundred years are crucial for him, and he absolutely cannot be awakened under any circumstance; we should focus on preserving our strength."

Upon hearing Chu Yuqin’s words, the elders fell silent. She wasn’t wrong; their Sacred Land’s ancestor indeed mentioned that the next hundred years are important, urging Heavenly Profound Sacred Land not to be too ostentatious and to strive to preserve strength.

Nevertheless, Tianji Pavilion did send people to inform their Holy Master that the inheritance in the Ancient Secret Realm is extremely important for their Holy Master.

If they could obtain the Ancient Inheritance, their Holy Master might further advance.

That’s why even Chu Yuqin, the Elder, came personally.

As for why their Holy Master didn’t come, it’s because the mysterious turmoil in Central State is becoming more frequent, and their Holy Master needs to oversee Heavenly Profound Sacred Land and couldn’t afford to leave, hence only Chu Yuqin was sent.

With such an important task entrusted to Chu Yuqin by their Holy Master, it’s difficult to imagine explaining to their Holy Master if Chu Yuqin simply retreated.

However, Chu Yuqin is the leader of this Secret Realm mission; what she says goes.

Since she has decided to retreat, they can only follow her orders.

Seeing the elders were silent, Chu Yuqin then said, "Alright, let’s do this. We’ll evacuate the Border Wilderness tomorrow."

The elders all bowed and said, "Yes, Elder."

Immediately, Chu Yuqin put away the Sound Insulation Pearl and removed the sound insulation barrier.

Turning around, the elders left the Flying Boat, informing the other disciples of Heavenly Profound Sacred Land about this.

That night, the forces learned that Heavenly Profound Sacred Land would soon leave the Border Wilderness.

The next morning, Heavenly Profound Sacred Land’s Flying Boat slowly ascended, heading towards Central State.

The Saint Realm experts from various forces gathered to watch the evacuation of Heavenly Profound Sacred Land.

Seeing this scene, everyone was baffled.

Heavenly Profound Sacred Land just left like that?

They gave up on the Ancient Inheritance?

The leading elder of Qionghua Holy Land, Wei Yang, said, "Could it be that Heavenly Profound Sacred Land obtained intelligence about the Ancient Ruins, and that some change occurred, prompting their urgent retreat?"

Li Shuo of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty said, "Not necessarily, you didn’t see Tianji Pavilion’s Flying Boat still there, did you? If there was a change in the Ancient Ruins, the people from Tianji Pavilion would have left long ago."

"Perhaps something happened to Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, prompting their urgent return to deal with the crisis at Heavenly Profound Sacred Land."

An elder from a certain Sacred Land said, "No matter the reason, losing a competitor like a Sacred Land is good for us."

Everyone thought the same; Heavenly Profound Sacred Land is powerful, and Chu Yuqin’s strength can be considered invincible within the Saint Realm.

If Chu Yuqin continued to stay in the Border Wilderness, it would exert considerable pressure on various forces; some had even secretly allied, preparing to collectively confront Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, but surprisingly Heavenly Profound Sacred Land voluntarily retreated.
