Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 1432 - 653: Daoist Saint! (2)

The Falling Sunset Peak.
Chen Xuan stood at the entrance of a cave mansion; this was Brother Qiu’s cave mansion.
"Brother Qiu has returned."
A figure descended from the sky, a man in white clothes, smiling at that moment.
"So it is Brother Long."
According to his memory, this person was also a True Disciple, ranking even higher than Brother Qiu.
"Judging from Brother Qiu’s expression, he must have caught the Nine Spirit Fox."
Brother Long asked tentatively.
In Chen Xuan’s hand appeared a palm-sized white fox, "Caught it."
"Congratulations."
"With the Nine Spirit Fox, breaking through realms will be much easier."
The Nine Spirit Fox emits a unique aura, which makes cultivation much easier within it.
But it is so cunning that even those in the Emperor Realm find it hard to catch.
Unexpectedly, he really caught it.
"There’s half a month until the secret realm opens, so then Brother, may I borrow it from you?"
This was also the reason he came here.
Although they are sure to break through realms in the secret realm, the faster the speed, the more notice from the sect, and the more benefits they will gain.
"This is a Mandara Flower, serving as Brother’s token of thanks."
The Mandara Flower, when worn, can enhance Spiritual Power and is a rare item.
Even he only had three blossoms.
Now, to borrow the Nine Spirit Fox, he could only painfully give away one blossom.
"Alright!"
Chen Xuan did not stand on ceremony, extending his palm as the pure white Mandara Flower instinctively flew into his grasp, "After entering the secret realm, Brother can follow me, and that’s all that’s needed."
"Thank you!"
Brother Long nodded slightly; that was enough.
As for asking ’Brother Qiu’ to give up the Nine Spirit Fox, that was impossible.
Then Brother Long departed, and Chen Xuan also entered the cave mansion.
Very simple!
It was equivalent to a three-room and one-lounge layout, but the Spiritual Qi within the cave mansion was several times more dense than outside.
Chen Xuan looked up, seeing an activated Array on the ceiling of the cave mansion.
"Half a month, huh?"
He murmured softly, perfect timing, taking advantage of this half month to familiarize himself with the Upper Domain.
...
During these half a month, Chen Xuan spent his time steeped in the scripture pavilion of Jidao Mountain, which encompassed a myriad of things, not only Cultivation Techniques but also records of the entire Upper Domain, and many of the Lower Domain.
"It seems the Upper Domain has long been aware of the existence of the world tree, and also knows there is a problem."
Chen Xuan closed an ancient book.
For what was recorded on it was that, to sustain the world tree, the Upper Domain had destroyed many Lower Domains.
Thereby lightening the world tree’s burden.
As for the Supreme Domain where Chen Xuan resided, he found related records as well.
The records indicated the world tree provided protection for the Supreme Domain, but the reason was unknown, hence they could not easily go down.
Therefore, each of the ten great sects of the Upper Domain ultimately utilized Secret Techniques, finally forming the races among the ten dangerous grounds.
Though unexpectedly, they were suppressed in the end.
And the individual mentioned by the Emperor Venerable, after arriving at the Supreme Domain, was indeed cultivated with focused effort but afterwards, something else happened, where he surprisingly broke through into the void and left the Upper Domain.
Moreover, this matter was only briefly mentioned without detailed records.
"Looks like there are hidden truths!"
After placing the ancient book back on the shelf, Chen Xuan left the scripture pavilion.
Tomorrow he would enter the secret realm.
The central peak of Jidao Mountain, within the sect hall.
A middle-aged man wearing a purple robe stood at the top, exuding a dignity of an upper echelon.
Xia Cang!
The Sect Leader of Jidao Mountain and the grandson of the Daoist Saint, Emperor Realm Perfection.
"How are the preparations for the secret realm?"
"All are in order!"
A white-haired old man below responded respectfully, "This time there are ten True Disciples entering, plus several elders, making a total of exactly twenty."
"So many!"
Xia Cang furrowed his brows.
The secret realm of Jidao Mountain only opens once every century, and each opening requires a hundred years to recover.
The number of entrants is also stringently controlled.
Since the more people entering, the worse the effect.
Generally, it will not exceed fifteen; this time it’s already twenty.
"This was agreed by the Great Elder."
The white-haired old man spoke again; the Great Elder he referred to was Xia Cang’s own younger brother, Xia Jie.
The entire Jidao Mountain was the Xia family’s.
"He agreed as well?!"
"Yes, Sect Leader, and it should be fine."
Seeing the puzzled look on Xia Cang, he promptly began explaining, "Those elders’ people aren’t much to reckon with; they shouldn’t be able to compete with the sect’s True Disciples."
Jidao Mountain’s True Disciples, they climbed up entirely on their own merit.
Without any compromise.
Even Xia Cang’s offspring could not make it, only relying on their own strength.
This decree was personally made by the Daoist Saint.
No one dared to defy it.
"Then so be it, also spread the word, that the top three of this secret realm have a chance to become disciples of the Daoist Saint!"
"Ah—"
The old man was taken aback, not expecting the Daoist Saint to take disciples, "That would be a monumental news for Jidao Mountain, those youngsters will certainly go crazy once they hear."
Xia Cang waved his hand, indicating him to step down.
Within the hall, he let out a long sigh, this was also an act of helplessness, otherwise, he would certainly choose Xia family’s offspring, but alas not one of them was up to expectations.
"Brother!"
Suddenly, a figure appeared within the hall.
It was the Great Elder of Jidao Mountain, Xia Jie.
"You came."
"Have a seat." After speaking, he himself sat down, "Why would grandfather suddenly want to recruit disciples?"
"To deflect tribulations!"
"What?!"
Xia Cang could hardly sit still, suddenly standing, "Grandfather will face tribulation?"
What kind of joke is this!
That elder is a Saint Realm expert, an existence beyond life and death, as long as he doesn’t defy the Heavenly Dao, no one can touch him.
