A black carriage slowly pulled out from the valley.
The Big Black Horse, hauling the carriage, passed through the territories of numerous sect cultivators as if no one else was there, yet no one saw it.
Ye Yun had used a Blindfold Method. He didnât want the cultivators here to see the carriageâs appearance.
The Big Black Horse drew the carriage all the way to Lei Qinianâs side.
The carriage stopped. Ye Yun and Jun Moxiao stepped out.
On the way, he had already instructed Jun Moxiao to accompany Lei Qinian.
"Lei Qinian."
Ye Yun stood behind him and gently uttered his name. He immediately set up a restriction in the surrounding space, making it impossible for anyone to see what was happening there.
Lei Qinian heard the familiar voice. Looking back, he was taken by surprise and quickly got up.
"Greetings, Senior."
Seeing Ye Yun, Lei Qinianâs expression subtly changed, becoming respectful.
"This treasure has been repaired by me, and I am now presenting it to you," Ye Yun said directly, reaching out and producing the Heavenly Treasures Cover.
The Heavenly Treasures Cover had now been restored to Emperor Level Top Grade. Golden light suffused it, and its appearance and quality were truly extraordinary.
"Whatâs this?"
Seeing the completely refurbished Heavenly Treasures Cover, Lei Qinian was suddenly dumbfounded.
Isnât this the family heirloom he sold to Senior? Just a few days have passed; how has this heirloom been completely refurbished?
His face filled with excitement. He stretched out his trembling hands, touched the Heavenly Treasures Cover, felt the aura emanating from it, and exclaimed excitedly, "Unbelievable! It has actually been restored to Emperor Level quality!"
"Take it. This originally belongs to your Lei Family!" Ye Yun gave a slight smile and forcefully handed the Heavenly Treasures Cover to Lei Qinian.
"Senior, I canât accept this treasure. I have already sold it to you. How can it be taken back?" Lei Qinianâs face turned red as he promptly tried to return the Heavenly Treasures Cover.
Ye Yun gently shook his head. "I have some ties with the Lei Family, and I canât bear to see you fall. In the Heavenly Moon Secret Region, this Heavenly Treasures Cover can both attack and defend, greatly increasing the chances of staying alive," Ye Yun said softly, his gaze particularly gentle.
After all, Lei Qinian was the descendant of his good friend, and now he was the only one left. Whatever the case, Ye Yun wanted to preserve this bloodline for his old friend.
"Senior, how did you come to be connected with my Lei Family?" Lei Qinian was taken aback. He had never heard his family elders speak of such a thing.
"You donât need to bother about that. Even if I told you, you wouldnât understand; itâs been too long..." Ye Yun sighed. He wasnât fond of reminiscing about events from a hundred thousand years ago.
Then his eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke softly, "Lei Qinian, this is Jun Moxiao, a disciple of my Dragon God Sect. Why donât you accompany him?"
Hearing Ye Yunâs words, Lei Qinian fell silent. Looking at the brilliant golden Heavenly Treasures Cover in his hand, numerous thoughts swiftly raced through his mind.
The fact that this Senior has restored the family heirloom to Emperor Level Top Grade shows that his resources are unfathomable. He doesnât covet anything from me. This Emperor Level Top Grade heirloom is much more valuable than those few fruits in the Heavenly Moon Secret Region.
Coming to this conclusion, Lei Qinian felt extremely ashamed. He nodded and said ruefully, "Since Senior has arranged it so, how could I dare to disobey?"
"Haha, thatâs great." Ye Yun happily patted Lei Qinianâs shoulder.
Then he turned around and beckoned to Jun Moxiao.
Jun Moxiao stepped over, clasped his fists respectfully, and smiled, "Nice to meet you, Brother Lei."
"Brother Jun, donât be so formal," Lei Qinian quickly returned the gesture with a smile.
Seeing the two of them acquainted, Ye Yun was very happy. After giving a few instructions, he got back into the carriage.
However, a strand of his Primordial Spirit quietly infiltrated Jun Moxiaoâs sea of consciousness without a sound.
The Heavenly Moon Secret Region was riddled with hidden dangers. As their ancestor, he had to protect the two juniors.
On their way here, Ye Yun had also given the Jade Tablet he had obtained from Shen Heng Sectâs Jade Box to Jun Moxiao. He told him to hang it on the Heavenly Moon Osmanthus Tree once they found it. If there were any abnormalities, then they would consider it a success. What would happen after the Jade Tablet was hung on the Heavenly Moon Osmanthus Tree? He was very curious. The mastermind had schemed meticulously, layer upon layer, hiding the rewards in the Heavenly Moon Secret Region. Were there truly rewards, or were there other plans? Ye Yun resolved to wait and see.
When Ye Yun disappeared, the restriction around them also vanished.
Lei Qinian led Jun Moxiao a few steps forward, and both of them sat cross-legged on the ground, waiting for the Heavenly Moon Secret Region to open.
"Another fellow cultivator has arrived?"
The pale-faced youth was shocked when he saw how young Jun Moxiao wasâabout fourteen or fifteen years oldâyet already at the First Level of Nirvana Realm. He quickly came over to greet them.
Lei Qinian gave a brief introduction.
"Brother Lei, this isnât right of you! This brotherâs cultivation base isnât as high as mine, yet you team up with him and not with me. What do you mean by this?" the pale-faced youth complained, somewhat annoyed.
"Things are different now, and some matters are not for outsiders to know," Lei Qinian said with a light laugh.
The pale-faced youth had no choice but to sigh and shake his head repeatedly.
Jun Moxiao found this amusing but said nothing.
The three of them waited silently.
Several Time Units later, a sudden exclamation came from up ahead.
"The Heavenly Moon Osmanthus Tree has appeared!"
All three quickly looked in the direction of the sound.
The void trembled, and a colossal Osmanthus tree materialized from it. This was only a phantom of the Heavenly Moon Osmanthus Tree.
Above this Heavenly Moon Osmanthus Tree, a vortex spun continuously, emitting an astonishing spatial fluctuation.
"The Heavenly Moon Secret Region has appeared!"
Many cultivators were extremely excited. They immediately took out their Heavenly Moon Order, and a beam of light shot from it towards the vortex.
Jun Moxiao stroked his chin, his expression calm, not rushing to act. Lei Qinian was the same. Both had special tasks and thus felt no need to rush.
"Fellow cultivators, why donât we hurry in?" the pale-faced youth asked, sounding a bit anxious.
"Letâs wait a little longer. We shouldnât rush; there are too many people right now," Lei Qinian said, shaking his head.
"Then Iâll go in first." The pale-faced youth didnât want to wait any longer. He took out his Heavenly Moon Order, shot into the air, transformed into a streak of light, and flew directly into the vortex.
After a while, seeing that a good portion of the surrounding cultivators had disappeared, Lei Qinian turned to Jun Moxiao and smiled, "Brother Jun, shall we go in?"
"Letâs go!" Jun Moxiao agreed. The two took out their Heavenly Moon Orders, transformed into two rays of light, and flew into the vortex.
Their surroundings seemed to shift and whirl. After a few seconds, they landed on the ground.
Then, their vision blurred, and they found themselves in a Miniature World. This Miniature World was rich in Spiritual Energy. Lofty mountain ranges extended endlessly in the distance, while nearby, a small river babbled and grass grew luxuriantly.
About a hundred zhang ahead of them stood a giant temple, also about a hundred zhang tall, glittering splendidly. Many cultivators were going in and out of this temple.
"Why is there a temple here?" After entering, Jun Moxiao was surprised to see the towering temple.
This seemed utterly different from the Secret Realm he had imagined.
"Our luck is good! The place we teleported to has a Great Saint Temple! Letâs hurry in, burn some incense, and pray for a safe journey!" Lei Qinian said excitedly, taking Jun Moxiao by the arm and walking towards the grand temple.
As the two drew nearer, Jun Moxiao saw a giant plaque hanging over the temple gate.
On the plaque, the words "Great Saint Temple" were written in large, shining gold characters.
