Chapter 684: Shadow of Reincarnation, Mystery of the Secret Realm

The terrifying sound continued in the sky above the Tianxian Sect.

Gu Jiuchen looked cold. He knew very well that this was just a stronghold of the Tiandao Sect. It would take a lot of effort to eliminate these strongholds one by one.

But he could not imagine that some of the great elders of the Tiandao Sect were so powerful that they almost reached the peak of the Refining Void Realm.

It was really terrifying, but he was not afraid. His strength could completely kill the peak of the Refining Void Realm. Although he did not reach the Fusion Realm, he was comparable to the Fusion Realm.

"Yun Che, continue the search. We must completely eradicate the Tiandao Sect."

Gu Jiuchen looked back at Yun Che, who was covered in blood, and said without question.

The war in the sky had died down, but Gu Jiuchen's heart had never calmed down.

He was suspended in the void, surrounded by a faint aura, and his deep eyes seemed to be able to see through all the illusions in the world.

Yun Che, who followed closely behind, was seriously injured, but his determined eyes revealed an unyielding will, as if he was ready to charge again for the master at any time.

"Master, although the Tiandao Sect has retreated, their remnants are still there. We can't take it lightly." Yun Che panted and reminded, his voice revealing a tired but firm determination.

Gu Jiuchen nodded slightly, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the layers of clouds and mist and see the essence of all things in the world.

"Yun Che, you are right. But have you ever thought about why the Tiandao Sect can provoke us repeatedly? Is there a deeper secret behind this?"

Yun Che frowned and thought, he realized that the complexity of this problem might be beyond his imagination. "Master, what you mean is..."

"Yes, there may be a bigger conspiracy behind this, and it may even be related to the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao." Gu Jiuchen's tone was very solemn, and he slowly expressed his worries.

He knew that with his own strength alone, even if he could defeat the Tiandao Sect, he could not completely solve the mystery of reincarnation.

Just as the two were lost in thought, a strange light suddenly flashed in the distant sky, and an ancient rune loomed, as if guiding them to a mysterious place.

Gu Jiuchen's heart moved, "Is it the call of the secret realm?"

He decided to lead the elite disciples of the Tianxian Sect to this sudden secret realm to explore the mysteries in it, perhaps to uncover the truth behind the Tiandao Sect.

After going through many obstacles, they finally came to the mysterious place shrouded by ancient runes.

The entrance to the secret realm was surrounded by clouds and mist, like a door to another world.

"Everyone should be careful, this secret realm is full of crises, but it also contains endless opportunities." Gu Jiuchen warned everyone, and then took the lead in stepping into the secret realm.

There is a different world inside the secret realm, with exotic flowers and plants growing everywhere, spirit beasts and birds flying in the sky, and the air is filled with rich spiritual energy that makes people feel relaxed and happy.

However, under this tranquil appearance, unknown dangers are hidden.

Gu Jiuchen and Yun Che walked side by side into the core area of ​​the secret realm. On the way, they encountered several waves of powerful monster attacks, but they were all resolved one by one.

As they went deeper, they gradually approached the depths of the secret realm.

There was an ancient altar emitting a faint blue light, which seemed to have some mysterious connection with the cycle of heaven.

"Master, look at this altar, it seems to contain powerful power." Yun Che pointed at the altar and said in surprise.

Gu Jiuchen walked slowly to the altar and looked around with a serious look.

"Yes, this altar contains the mystery of the cycle of heaven. The Tiandao Sect has repeatedly provoked us, perhaps just to get this power."

As soon as the voice fell, the altar suddenly burst into a dazzling light, and an ancient and powerful aura emerged from the center of the altar to form a rotating vortex, sucking Gu Jiuchen and Yun Che in.

When Gu Jiuchen opened his eyes again, he found himself in a strange space.

There was endless void all around, and in front of him there was a vague figure slowly walking towards him.

"Who are you?" Gu Jiuchen asked vigilantly, while circulating his spiritual power to prepare for any emergency.

As the figure gradually became clear, a white-haired old man appeared in his sight.

Between the old man's eyebrows, there was a sense of transcendence.

"I am the guardian of the Heavenly Dao, responsible for maintaining the order of the Heavenly Dao reincarnation. Gu Jiuchen, I already know the hatred in your heart, but the Heavenly Dao reincarnation has its own destiny and cannot be changed by human power."

Hearing the old man's words, Gu Jiuchen was shocked, but he did not mean to retreat.

"If the Heavenly Dao reincarnation is unfair, why should I obey it? I, Gu Jiuchen, only believe that the sword in my hand can cut off all injustice!"

The old man smiled slightly, and he did not seem surprised by Gu Jiuchen's persistence.

"Your persistence is indeed admirable. But have you ever thought that true power does not rely solely on hatred and killing. Only by insight into the Heavenly Dao can you transcend reincarnation and reach the true other shore."

Gu Jiuchen was silent for a moment, his heart filled with complex emotions.

He understood that the old man's words made sense, but how could he let go of the hatred and pain in his heart so easily?

"What should I... do?" He finally asked, with a hint of confusion and helplessness in his voice.

The old man raised his hand gently, and a ray of light fell into Gu Jiuchen's brow.

In an instant, he seemed to see all the grievances and hatreds in his past, present and future, all dissipated like passing clouds.

"Only when there is no obstacle in your heart can you point your sword to the sky. Gu Jiuchen, what you need is not revenge but transcendence. Go and find the peace and strength in your heart, then you will become a true guardian rather than an avenger."

As the old man's words fell, Gu Jiuchen felt his body lighten, and when he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the secret realm.

Yun Che and others were anxiously surrounding him, and they all showed joy when they saw him wake up.

"Master, are you okay?" Yun Che asked hurriedly.

Gu Jiuchen smiled slightly, and the indifference and hatred in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented calmness and determination.

"I'm fine, and I've found a new direction."

Gu Jiuchen returned from the strange space, and the heavy hatred and anger in his heart miraculously dissipated a lot, replaced by an unprecedented tranquility and clarity.

He looked around and saw that the secret realm was shrouded in clouds and mist, making it even more mysterious.

Yun Che and the others were relieved to see that his expression had improved, but the worry in their eyes remained.

"Master, what did you just experience?" Yun Che couldn't help asking, with a hint of urgency in his voice.

Gu Jiuchen smiled slightly and shook his head gently, "It's a long story, but in short, I have a deeper understanding of the cycle of heaven. Let's continue to move forward, maybe we can find more clues about the Heavenly Dao Sect in this secret realm."

Everyone was refreshed after hearing this, and followed Gu Jiuchen to continue to go deeper into the secret realm.

As they walked, the surrounding scene began to change, and the originally peaceful fairyland gradually revealed a bit of weirdness.

There was a repressive atmosphere in the air, as if an invisible force was secretly spying on them.

At this moment, a low chanting sound suddenly sounded, and the sound seemed to come from ancient times, and it seemed to be right beside his ears.

Gu Jiuchen's heart tightened, and he hurriedly reminded everyone to be on guard. I saw the fog rolling in front of me, and a vague figure slowly walked out. The figure was surrounded by black air and his face was distorted. It was the illusion of the inner demon.

"Gu Jiuchen, do you think you can really let go of hatred? Look at your heart, those suppressed anger and unwillingness, they are ready to move!" The voice of the inner demon was full of temptation and provocation.

Gu Jiuchen narrowed his eyes slightly, and he knew that this was a test of his will. He took a deep breath, circulated his spiritual power, and kept his mind calm. "Inner demon, don't think about shaking me.

I have understood that the real power is not hatred, but the inner peace and determination."

After speaking, he swung his sword, and a bright sword light cut through the sky and went straight to the inner demon.

Seeing this, the inner demon laughed strangely, and his figure flashed, and turned into countless black shadows and fled in all directions.

Gu Jiuchen's figure was agile, chasing the black shadow, and every time the sword light was swung, it was accompanied by a burst of black shadows dissipating.

After a fierce battle, Gu Jiuchen finally dispelled his inner demons.

He stood there, gasping for breath, but felt an inexplicable force surging in his heart.

He looked up at the altar in the distance, and saw that the blue light on the altar was more dazzling, as if calling him.

"Let's go see that altar." Gu Jiuchen said to Yun Che and others, and then took the lead to walk towards the altar.

As they approached, the light on the altar became stronger and stronger, and an ancient and mysterious breath came to his face.

Gu Jiuchen stood under the altar, and felt that his body was surrounded by a warm power, and the distracting thoughts in his heart also dissipated.

He looked up at the center of the altar, and saw that there was a half-open stone door there, and behind the door seemed to be a passage to another world.

"Is this the door of reincarnation?" Gu Jiuchen murmured to himself, with a flash of determination in his eyes.

He knew that if he wanted to completely uncover the secret behind the Tiandao Sect, he had to enter this door and find out.

"Master, there are many dangers behind this door. Do you really want to go in?" Yun Che asked worriedly.

Gu Jiuchen smiled slightly, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes.

"No matter how dangerous it is, I must go. This is my mission as the master of the Tianxian Sect, and it is also my commitment to the cycle of heaven."

After saying that, he took a step and resolutely stepped into the door of reincarnation.

Yun Che and others saw this, although they were reluctant in their hearts, they followed closely and vowed to protect the master.

After passing through the door of reincarnation, Gu Jiuchen and others came to a completely different world. There is no prosperity and noise of the fairy world here, but instead it is a desolate and vast.

Huge meteorites and star fragments float in the sky, and there are endless deserts and dead bones on the ground.
