Chapter 1133 - 1132: Secrets of the Sacred Land

The incident at the square spread quickly, causing a stir throughout the Ice and Snow Divine Palace, especially the escape of the Profound Nether Python, which left countless people shocked and in awe.

"Have you heard? Just now, the Profound Nether Python escaped and nearly caused chaos!"

"Is there such a thing? What happened afterward? Who subdued it, Yu Luoxuan, or other Celestial Immortals from the Divine Palace?"

"It wasn't the Divine Palace. It was Ye Qingchen!"

"What! Ye Qingchen? Isn't he Ye Qing's brother? But he is only of Earth Immortal cultivation. How could he possibly have the ability to subdue the Profound Nether Python?"

"That was a year ago. He has already attained Celestial Immortal status now! In front of everyone, he slayed the Profound Nether Python with a single sword strike!"

"How is that possible?"

As Ye Qing walked along, the disciples of the Divine Palace were all discussing the events at the square. Anyone who met her would immediately show a flattering smile. If there were any doubts, people would quickly whisper:

"She is also Ye Qingchen's sister!"

The person would immediately become fearful and cautious.

Ye Qingchen!

Before today, few knew his name, most merely considered him a minor Earth Immortal from the lower realms, not worth mentioning. Even Ye Qing was often overlooked due to their status.

But now, everyone held him in awe.

A Celestial Immortal who could easily kill the Profound Nether Python with a raise of his hand, a formidable individual who could effortlessly suppress a Celestial Immortal, who could tear apart the Grand Array with a casual raise of his hand—such strength was beyond what people could comprehend.

With Ye Qing being Ye Qingchen's sister, her status in the Divine Palace naturally rose, and no one dared look down on Ye Qing anymore.

She pondered in her heart.

Unknowingly, she had already entered a serene and elegant courtyard.

This courtyard was Ye Qingchen's temporary residence.

As soon as she stepped into the yard, she immediately felt the temperature change, as if she had entered a volcano. The source of the high temperature was the massive Alchemy Furnace in the center of the courtyard.

It was the Crimson Mist Cauldron!

The Crimson Mist Cauldron, which had absorbed the Demon Fire Furnace, did not grow as exaggeratedly as imagined, directly expanding to thousands of feet, but grew to seven or eight feet in size, resembling a small hill.

Inside and outside the Alchemy Furnace, flames surged, and dozens of chains seemed to bind something terrible, with faint wailing sounds emanating from within.

The voice was Yi Tianli.

At this moment, Ye Qingchen was sitting in the center of the courtyard, and opposite him was Yu Luoxuan.

Seeing Ye Qing, Yu Luoxuan raised her head and smiled sweetly, waving her hand:

"Ye Qing, this time your brother has come to the Divine Palace specifically to take you away. I have discussed with several elders, and since you have entered Earth Immortal status, you may leave at any time. However, you must adhere to the sect's regulations!"

Upon entering the Divine Palace, you naturally become a disciple of the Divine Palace.

If the sect summons you, you must return. The martial arts you have learned cannot be passed on to others, or the Divine Palace has the right to reclaim your cultivation. Otherwise, why would the sect expend extensive resources to train you?

Not only the Ice and Snow Divine Palace but all sects in the world operate this way.

Ye Qingchen also gradually looked over.

The siblings had been apart for years, and today they were finally able to reunite.

But unexpectedly, Ye Qing shook her head and said, "Brother, I won't leave..."

"What is happening?" Ye Qingchen's eyes narrowed, coldly scanning Yu Luoxuan.

Yu Luoxuan felt a shiver run through her entire body.

Although she had witnessed Ye Qingchen slay the Profound Nether Python with a sword, she had not personally experienced it. Now facing this killing intent, she finally realized how terrifyingly it was brewed from mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

"Brother..." Ye Qing sighed softly and said, "I think I have found clues about our mother's whereabouts! If I guess correctly, our mother should be from a sacred place!"

"A sacred place? What is that?" Ye Qingchen asked, puzzled.

He originally thought Ye Qing didn't want to leave because the Ice and Snow Divine Palace was unwilling to let people go and was secretly threatening. Yet he never imagined that it would be entwined with long-lost news of their mother, something he never expected.

Seeing this, Ye Qing had to explain:

"A sacred place is a hidden family within the Kunlun Realm, extremely isolated, unknown to outsiders, just like how ordinary people see the Ice and Snow Divine Palace. I discovered this when I unintentionally found the patterns on a bracelet left behind by our mother in the library of the Divine Palace!"

"Oh?"

Ye Qingchen's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze finally fell on the bracelet on the wrist.

This bracelet was what their mother left for them when she left.

Indeed.

When he was searching for the Ice and Snow Divine Palace, it took a lot of time. If he hadn't encountered its disciples, he might have spent several more years without finding it.

However, though the Ice and Snow Divine Palace is hidden, many people have heard of it.

Why had he never heard of the sacred place, despite traveling across the Southern Heaven, East Sea, and Extreme North?

"It's true!"

Yu Luoxuan quickly said from the side:

"The sacred places are extremely exclusionary and rarely contact the outside world. Even for me, I have only encountered one or two in my lifetime. Ordinary people cannot reach the level of a sacred place!"

Ye Qingchen nodded slightly at her words.

Without reaching the level, some secrets can never be reached. The positions of the sacred places and the Ice and Snow Divine Palace are far above the Thirty-Six Sects of the Celestial South, even if he is a Celestial Immortal now, he is only just stepping into this circle with one foot.

"Which sacred place did our mother come from?"

Ye Qingchen asked.

Ye Qing shook her head slowly when she heard this, "I have been exposed to this information for too short a time, so I still don't know... In the entire Kunlun Realm, there are over a hundred sacred places of various sizes."

'Never imagined, my trip to the Extreme North would lead to this discovery! To find clues about our mother... It seems our direction isn't wrong.'

Ye Qingchen listened, his eyes lowered, appearing ponderous, but his mind was tumultuous.

Even if it's just tiny clues, for him, it's already enough. He would eventually unveil all the mysteries of the sacred place. Thinking of this, Ye Qingchen suddenly raised his head and asked, "Have you found any trace of our father?"

Ye Qing anxiously responded, "Not yet, but our father's disappearance must be related to our mother! Once we find our mother, I believe our father's whereabouts will also be revealed!"

"So that's it!" Ye Qingchen nodded.

The siblings had searched their way to the Kunlun Realm to find their missing parents. Entering the Kunlun Realm, the clues were once interrupted. It was unexpected to receive the most critical news at this moment.

"By the way!"

At this moment, Yu Luoxuan, sitting nearby, threw out an explosive piece of news:

"In at most half a month, a sacred place from the Extreme North will come to visit our Ice and Snow Divine Palace. You can see them then! You can use it as an opportunity to inquire about information!"

Half a month?

Ye Qingchen closed his eyes and nodded slightly.

"Okay!"
