Looking at what happened in the simulator, Su Ming felt deeply puzzled.
In his view, contaminating the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm was not something that ordinary methods could achieve.
Even a being like the Qingyun Sect's Sect Master would not be able to contaminate an entire secret realm.
To contaminate a secret realm, it would have to be broken from within.
At this thought, a strange light flashed in Su Ming's eyes.
"So that means there is a traitor among the humans?"
Unfortunately, he still did not know who that traitor was. Otherwise, he would have killed them directly in reality.
Su Ming continued looking at the simulator.
[Your and Gu Xinyue's attention was instantly drawn to the battle between the two men.]
[Already frustrated because she could not break through, Gu Xinyue raised her hand and slashed a strand of Sword Intent toward Wan Yemo after hearing the black-robed man's words.]
[The Sword Intent of a Deity Transformation Great Perfection cultivator was not something a mere mid-stage Deity Transformation cultivator like him could withstand. He was killed in a single strike.]
[The black-robed man came over to thank you.]
"Many thanks, Miss, for helping me!"
[Gu Xinyue directly asked whether he knew what had happened in the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm and why the Spiritual Energy had become contaminated.]
[The black-robed man said that he did not know either. He had only arrived at the secret realm today, and the first thing he saw was Wan Yemo destroying the formation.]
[He then discovered that Wan Yemo had already become a puppet, which led to the battle that followed.]
[This answer left Gu Xinyue deeply disappointed.]
[At that moment, the black-robed man introduced himself.]
"The two of you, I am Qin Wu of the Great Qin Empire. The formation has already been broken, so I advise you to leave as soon as possible!"
[You shook your head and said that you could not leave anymore, then explained how you had gone to the Pill Sect to seize the Void-Breaking Pill.]
[After hearing that, Qin Wu's expression immediately turned ugly.]
"Could it be that we can only be trapped here until we die? Although Wan Yemo is dead, it is only a matter of time before the secret realm is exposed."
[Naturally, you understood that outcome as well. In a previous simulation, the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm had become the trial ground of the three great sects of Qingzhou.]
[Very quickly, you thought of a way for Qin Wu to leave first, so you said to him,]
"After you go out, if you run into people from the Pill Sect, just tell them that the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm's formation has already been broken. As long as they discover that you are telling the truth, they will not suspect you."
[After hearing your method, Qin Wu felt it made a lot of sense. Staying behind meant certain death anyway, so he might as well gamble on your suggestion.]
[When Qin Wu was about to leave, you told him to go to Heaven's Revelation Academy and inform Fang Jingchun of your and Gu Xinyue's situation.]
[You also told him to ask Fang Jingchun to keep an eye on Ye Chuxue and Lin Qi. If the two of them were no longer at Heaven's Revelation Academy, then he should investigate where they had gone.]
[Qin Wu was very surprised to hear that you knew Fang Jingchun.]
[Originally, he had not planned on helping you. But since you knew Fang Jingchun, then everyone was a friend, and helping out was no longer a big deal.]
[After Qin Wu left, Gu Xinyue looked at you in confusion.]
"Why did you ask Old Six to keep watch on those two people you mentioned instead of asking him to save us?"
[You smiled faintly and told Gu Xinyue that you had already thought of a way to save yourselves.]
"Oh? What way?"
[Hearing that you had a plan, Gu Xinyue immediately became interested.]
[In her view, the only way out was to fight your way through the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm and escape. Clearly, the method you had in mind was not that.]
[You did not explain too much, because you knew that once Qin Wu went up, people from the Pill Sect would soon come down.]
[Bringing Gu Xinyue with you, you traveled all the way to a valley deep within the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm.]
[Looking at the Bronze Divine Hall before you, you told her that this was the place.]
"Little Junior Brother, this is the method you were talking about? Surely you know what this Bronze Divine Hall is. For countless years, no one has ever been able to enter it. How are we supposed to get in?"
[Hearing that, you revealed a mysterious smile. Then, under Gu Xinyue's stunned gaze, you placed both hands on the bronze gate.]
[Just like that, Gu Xinyue watched helplessly as you pushed open the bronze gate.]
"What... what is going on, Little Junior Brother?"
[After entering the Bronze Divine Hall, you explained to Gu Xinyue that only someone who had reached the extreme limit in the Qi Refining stage could push open that gate.]
[After hearing that explanation, Gu Xinyue looked at you with even greater shock.]
"Little Junior Brother, I never imagined that you had reached the extreme limit of Qi Refining! I always thought that was only a legend from the Remote Ancient Era!"
"Senior Sister, feel the Spiritual Energy in here."
[Gu Xinyue closed her eyes and sensed it for a moment, then suddenly opened them.]
"Spiritual Energy that has not been contaminated?"
[You were not surprised by this at all. In your previous simulation, you had cultivated for years by relying on the Spiritual Energy inside the Bronze Divine Hall.]
[And at that time, the situation had been that you were cultivating within the Bronze Divine Hall while the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm outside had already been contaminated for years.]
[Yet back then, you had known nothing and had still cultivated in the Bronze Divine Hall for that long.]
"Senior Sister, just cultivate here with peace of mind."
[Gu Xinyue glanced around, then carefully examined the entire bronze hall.]
[In the end, she found a suitable spot, took out a Void-Breaking Pill, and swallowed it in a single gulp.]
[You also found a place and began cultivating your Cultivation Technique.]
[Three years later, in the twelfth year, you sensed Gu Xinyue's aura growing stronger and stronger.]
[Looking at the graceful figure seated not far away, you knew that Gu Xinyue was about to break through to Void Refining.]
[Not long after you stood up, the stone statues around you lit up with dazzling light before drilling into your body.]
[Having already experienced this once before, you knew that this was the inheritance of the Bronze Divine Hall, something left only for the person who opened the gate and earned its recognition.]
[One month later, Gu Xinyue successfully broke through to the initial stage of Void Refining, though she also suffered rather severe internal injuries.]
[In the thirteenth year, after a year of recuperation, Gu Xinyue's injuries had completely healed.]
"It is time for us to leave, Little Junior Brother!"
[You had no objections. Gu Xinyue at the initial stage of Void Refining could be said to have already reached the peak of Qingzhou, and there were almost no opponents left for her.]
[After coming out of the Bronze Divine Hall, you discovered that the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm had already been completely contaminated.]
[Fortunately, there were not many people in the secret realm at the moment. But when you arrived at the exit and were preparing to leave, you suddenly found that the entrance had been sealed.]
[When you tried to use the Great Void Technique to leave, you discovered that you could not pass through the seal at all.]
[You then turned your gaze toward Gu Xinyue.]
"Step aside, Little Junior Brother. Watch me break it with one sword!"
"One Sword Seals the Heavens!"
[You watched as Gu Xinyue casually swung her sword, transforming it into a dazzling Sword Aura that slashed toward the seal.]
BOOM!
[The seal was broken.]
[You left the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm and arrived above the Heavenly Abyss.]
[After looking around and finding no one nearby, you turned to Gu Xinyue and said,]
"Senior Sister! I need to go see Senior Brother Fang!"
[You had thought Gu Xinyue would go off and handle her own affairs, but instead she actually wanted to come with you.]
"Do you want to part from your Senior Sister that badly?"
"Your Senior Sister will go with you. It just so happens that I have not seen Old Six in a long time either!"
