A week passed by in a blink of an eye. The anniversary event went off without a hitch, and the sect was restored to its peaceful state.
Today was the secret land opening day, and currently, everyone from the inner division to the top echelons gathered in front of a giant ancient gate made of stone.
Tian Hualing looked at everyone and said. "For those who came here for the first time, the time inside will be faster than the outside. One hundred years inside are equal to a year on the outside. Once you enter, you cannot leave halfway. Anyone who wants to quit right now can step back."
She swept her gaze over the crowd and saw no one step back. She said further. "The aura inside is several times richer. Normally, we will limit the number of people who can enter, but the current situation is different. Everyone is allowed to enter at this time. I hope all of you practice diligently. Don't waste this precious opportunity."
"We understood." Everyone shouted in unison.
Tian Hualing turned to Tian Yuhan and received a signal from the latter. She then went to the ancient gate and released her aura. With a click, the stone arch around the gate gradually rotated, and a white spatial vortex appeared in the middle.
"You can go in." Tian Hualing said.
She stepped aside and let Tian Jia lead the others into the secret land.
When everyone entered, Tian Yuhan looked at Tian Hualing and said. "I'll have to trouble you during this period."
"This is my duty, Master." Tian Hualing said solemnly. She didn't go this time as she had to take care of the sect.
Tian Yuhan nodded and brought Yun Lintian, Ning Yue, and Yue Chuntao into the white vortex.
Tian Hualing watched as the white vortex disappeared and turned to Yue Qi. "Thank you for helping us, Senior."
Yue Qi waved his hand and said. "I'll stay here. You can come to me if there's a problem."
"Understood." Tian Hualing nodded and left.
Yue Qi looked at the ancient stone gate and murmured to himself. "I hope she doesn't cause trouble."
As the white light faded, Yun Lintian found himself standing on a glass land with a dense forest and rows of mountains in the far distance. Rivers and waterfalls could be seen everywhere. It was a sight to behold.
Although the scenery might not be as mesmerizing as the Land of Beyond Heaven, the aura here was several times richer. Just by taking a breath, Yun Lintian could feel every cell of his body vibrate in delight.
"Follow me." Tian Yuhan said and flew toward the highest peak in the distance.
Yun Lintian picked Ning Yue up and quickly followed her, with Yue Chuntao behind.
"Well, I've to admit that it's a good place for training." Yue Chuntao looked at the scenery below and said.
"Didn't you say it was similar to your place?" Yun Lintian asked.
"I didn't lie. My place is surely not inferior to this." Yue Chuntao rolled her eyes. "Although this place is good, it actually has a limit. It's not suitable for a high-level Divine Emperor to practice here. Otherwise, the aura will be gone very quickly."
"Oh?" Yun Lintian was surprised and scanned the place with Eyes of Heaven. Soon, he discovered a giant ball beneath the ground at the center of the realm. It was slowly rotating, emitting the heaven and earth aura. This huge ball was undoubtedly the secret land's core.
The aura was produced by the core. From the look of it, it wasn't enough for a Divine Emperor to absorb it for a long time.
Tian Yuhan didn't say anything throughout the journey. A moment later, she landed on the top of the mountain, which had a majestic hall that resembled her residence in the outside world.
"We will live here." She said and walked into the hall.
Yun Lintian and the others naturally had no objection and followed her behind.
The hall was sparse, and there was nothing particular inside. Yun Lintian found a few rooms and placed some furniture inside. These rooms would be their bedrooms for the next hundred years.
"From your age, this should be your first time going in long seclusion. I must remind you that the number one enemy of us, practitioners, is loneliness. I hope you can bear with it." Tian Yuhan looked at Yun Lintian and said calmly.
Yun Lintian nodded gently. He had already prepared his heart before coming here. A hundred years were indeed extremely long for someone from Earth like him. Not to mention his ages from both lives combined weren't even exceeded sixty years.
The lifespan of a practitioner was long, and Yun Lintian would definitely live for a thousand years or more if he hadn't encountered a mishap first. He would eventually face this kind of long seclusion at some points.
"I suddenly regret following you here. What should I do now?" Yue Chuntao said regretfully. A hundred years for her was nothing but a blink of an eye, but it was in the premise of practicing. Now, she couldn't practice even if she wanted to. What would she do to pass the time then?
"I'll accompany you often, Sister Taotao." Ning Yue comforted.
Yue Chuntao glanced at Yun Lintian and said. "I know you have a lot of food. Give them to me."
Yun Lintian threw a storage ring at her and turned to Tian Yuhan. "Come with me. I will treat your injury."
Tian Yuhan didn't say anything and followed Yun Lintian into the room.
Yue Chuntao was surprised and said suspiciously. "He's good at medicine as well?"
"Mhm!" Ning Yue replied proudly. "Brother is very powerful."
ƥandasnovel.com Yue Chuntao slowly nodded her head. "Well, he's that person's successor, after all. What was I thinking?"
"Let's have a big meal." She said and dragged Ning Yue away.
Inside the room, Yun Lintian took out a set of silver needles and beckoned Tian Yuhan. "Sit on the bed and take out an outer robe."
Tian Yuhan's body froze momentarily before she sat on the bed and took her outer robe out, revealing her snow-white shoulders.
Yun Lintian had no mood to appreciate her beauty. He sat behind her and said. "I will expel the cold energy in your meridians next. It will be very painful. Bear with it."
Without waiting for Tian Yuhan to reply, Yun Lintian's hands moved, leaving afterimages…
