Chapter 222: An Ancient Legacy

This lotus mark was the same as the one from when Ling Wanqing had just entered the Secret Realm.

It only existed for a brief moment before vanishing, as if it had never appeared at all, and no unusual events occurred with the appearance of this mark.

Therefore, no one noticed this lotus mark appearing within.

Yun Ruyan approached Ling Wanqing. "Master, you've come."

Ling Wanqing looked at Yun Ruyan. "I was originally planning to Cultivate, but I discovered that the Spirit Treasure I gave you for self-preservation had been triggered."

"Given the recent activities of the Demon Race and the matter involving that Heavenly Spiritual Root, Liu Qinghe, of the Profound Heaven Sect, I was afraid that you might have also encountered those from the Demon Race or found yourself in a precarious situation."

"So, I tracked you down using the Spirit Treasure and your aura."

"But this Secret Realm was not easy to find. If it weren't for my Spirit Treasure and my familiarity with your aura, I might not have even known about this Secret Realm, let alone found my way into this hidden Secret Realm within it."

Yun Ruyan smiled. "Master still cares for me."

"By the way, Master, there's no one here, yet you're still unwilling to reveal your true face."

"If I didn't know that you possessed this hidden appearance, I wouldn't even have known it was you who came."

Ling Wanqing looked at Yun Ruyan and said, "I changed it when I left, and now that I'm outside, I can't be bothered to change it back. I feel this is quite good; it wouldn't be bad to always present myself with this appearance."

Yun Ruyan didn't say anything; she knew her master Ling Wanqing's personality.

Even Yun Ruyan herself had become somewhat more easygoing.

Yun Ruyan looked around and said, "I didn't originally know about this Secret Realm either."

"During the last battle with the Demon Race, I inadvertently discovered a book in an abandoned village. This book was buried deep underground."

"If I hadn't sensed a trace of abnormality emanating from this book, I would have missed the Legacy within this Secret Realm."

"I curiously opened it and discovered that it recorded this Secret Realm. The book stated that this Secret Realm is extremely ancient and very magical, and it noted that there might be many unknown Opportunities within."

"I began to search for this Secret Realm, but the information in the book was very vague, and it took quite some effort for me to inquire about this location."

"So, I arrived here. At first, when I was in the outer Secret Realm, I felt that there was nothing special about it, other than having a lot of water-elemental things, and there wasn't any so-called Opportunity to be found."

"But after searching for a long time, my Water Spirit Body suddenly became restless, guiding me here."

"When I entered this hidden Secret Realm, I realized that this was indeed the place recorded in the book."

"As soon as I came in, I was drawn to that floating orb. When I reached out to touch it, I began to receive the Legacy within this Secret Realm."

"The Spirit Treasure you gave me was triggered the moment I touched that orb, but it was already too late to think about that, as the Legacy had already begun."

"My consciousness entered a strange space, and afterward, I began to receive the Legacy within."

After listening to what Yun Ruyan said, Ling Wanqing understood the general situation.

Ling Wanqing looked at Yun Ruyan; this was about what she had imagined.

Yun Ruyan spoke up, "Master, this Legacy is quite extraordinary. With this Legacy, I have hope of catching up to that Innate Sword Body."

Ling Wanqing laughed. "Why not set your goal higher and catch up to that Ye Lin of the Profound Heaven Sect?"

Yun Ruyan shook her head. "Forget about Ye Lin; he is simply a monster. There is no comparing with him. Just when I think I'm about to catch up to him, I discover that the distance has been widened again."

"Comparing myself to Ye Lin is truly discouraging."

Ling Wanqing smiled. "Then let's catch up to Li Yi first."

Ling Wanqing glanced at the place where Yun Ruyan had just received the Legacy; this Legacy was truly not simple.

It's just unclear from which era this Legacy originates, but judging by Yun Ruyan's description, it must be quite a powerful one.

Yun Ruyan did not tell her specifically what was inside the Legacy.

Ling Wanqing would not ask about it; everyone has secrets.

As long as this Opportunity was beneficial to her disciple, that was enough. Obtaining this Opportunity was Yun Ruyan's own fortune.

Yun Ruyan looked at Ling Wanqing before her. "Master, I think you must have also noticed the resources in this Secret Realm when you came in."

Ling Wanqing nodded. "The resources in this Secret Realm can be said to be truly astonishing. There are quite a few spiritual plants here that are extinct in the Southern Region."

"These things are items with astonishing effects. I estimate that only the two of us have ever been to this Secret Realm, which is why these things have been preserved so perfectly intact."

"There isn't even a trace of damage."

Yun Ruyan nodded.

"Master, let's take this Opportunity to collect some of the resources in this Secret Realm. These are all Opportunities."

"We cannot waste them. Taking even one of these out could cause quite a sensation, and using them for cultivation could yield twice the result with half the effort."

Ling Wanqing had the same thought. "Alright, let's go collect these resources."

The two split up and began to collect the resources within the Secret Realm.

Soon, the two had collected most of the resources within the Secret Realm.

Yun Ruyan looked at the resources in the Secret Realm; they had taken most of them, but the two of them had still left quite a few behind.

They didn't touch the ones that hadn't matured enough.

They could leave them for next time; in any case, only the two of them knew about this Secret Realm for now.

Yun Ruyan turned her head. "Master, let's go. Let's head back quickly. We've been here for several days, and we don't have time to stay here any longer."

"If not for the fact that the Demon Race is still around and this War between Immortals and Demons hasn't ended yet…"

"…I would have stayed here to Cultivate for a while longer before leaving. The cultivation environment here is simply too good for me."

"I feel that cultivating here is much faster than it is outside."

Ling Wanqing nodded. They really didn't have any extra time to linger here; staying here meant not knowing the situation outside.

It's possible that the Demon Race is already attacking.

"Yun Ruyan, let's go."

Yun Ruyan and Ling Wanqing then left the Secret Realm.

At that moment, the exit of the Secret Realm suddenly appeared outside, and two figures emerged from it.

After Ling Wanqing and the other emerged, the entrance to the Secret Realm vanished once again.

As if it had never appeared.

After Ling Wanqing cleared away the aura and traces of their presence, she and Yun Ruyan left the area.

Everything here had returned to normal; no one would know that there was a hidden Secret Realm here, and no one would pay any attention to this place.
