After an hour or two, the phone next to Shi Xiao's bed suddenly rang.

Shi Xiao suddenly withdrew from his cultivation state and picked up the phone at hand.

"Hey, I'm Shi Xiao."

"Mr. Shi, I'm Wu Tiankuo. Later, the senior leaders of the association will come to join you, and I will say hello to you in advance. ”

"Okay, I got it." Then the other party hung up the phone.

Shi Xiao got up and moved his body, and he couldn't help but feel a little interested in the people at the top of the Martial Arts Association.

About half an hour later, Shi Xiao noticed that an extremely special aura appeared in Shi Xiao's perception. The aura on this person's body was not weaker than Shi Xiao at all.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Mr. Shi, I'm Xiaoyu. The high-level leaders of the martial arts association are here, and I will take you down to take a look. ”

"Okay, I got it." After hearing this, Shi Xiao's figure flashed, and he came to the door and pushed the door out.

"I'll take you there." Xiaoyu smiled, and then led Shi Xiao out.

The two of them came to the door of a conference room on the third floor one after the other, and Xiaoyu knocked lightly on the door: "Angkor, Mr. Shi is here." ”

"Come in, hahaha." Wu Tiankuo opened the door while laughing.

Wu Tiankun welcomed the two in, and Shi Xiao noticed the old man sitting inside at a glance. This old man is probably the senior leader of the martial arts association.

He was dressed in a brown Tang suit, with gray hair but not as pale and wrinkled as an old man. On the contrary, it is similar to a young person, and the breath on his body is deep and long.

The old man also noticed Shi Xiao's gaze, and couldn't help but nod slightly and smile at him.

"Mr. Shi, this is the senior level of our martial arts association and one of the founders of the association, Qin Lao." Wu Tianqi said respectfully.

After hearing this, Qin Lao smiled gently, and then waved his hand indifferently.

"Tiandi, what collar does not lead. Since they have joined the martial arts association, they are all colleagues. Old Qin smiled.

"Old Qin, I'm Shi Xiao. This time, I would like to thank you for helping me calm things down on the side of the Extreme Thunder Gate. Shi Xiao arched his hand and said.

Shi Xiao had already sensed that this Qin Lao's strength was probably not weaker than his own, at least he was also a powerhouse in the Golden Light Realm.

"It's okay, it's okay, this matter is originally the fault of Jileimen. It's just that in recent years, these super sects have been too arrogant, and this time it should be a wake-up call for them. Old Qin said as he beckoned Shi Xiao and the others to sit down.

"I don't know what Elder Qin saw me, and I'm afraid something important will happen when I come to the capital this time." Shi Xiao asked indifferently.

"Indeed, seeing you this time is secondary. Now that technology is so advanced, if you want to meet in person, it would be good to make a direct video call. ”

"It's really an extremely important thing to come to you this time, and I can't even tell you about it now. But what I can tell you is that the people who are here this time are very strong. ”

"There are also strong people like you, so if you don't want to after the meeting, we won't force it." Qin Lao said indifferently.

"Okay, in that case, I'll attend the meeting on time. I'll be thinking about it then. Shi Xiao nodded slightly.

"There's one more thing I want to talk to you about."

Qin Lao's face instantly became serious when he said this, and he gave Wu Tiankun and Xiaoyu a look, and the two of them understood this and then retreated.

Shi Xiao's eyes narrowed when he saw this, it seems that the next thing is the real reason for calling Shi Xiao over.

After Qin Lao saw the two of them withdrawing, he put something in front of Shi Xiao.

Shi Xiao indifferently picked up the thing on the table, which turned out to be a token made of fine iron. There are also many exquisite lines carved on it, and there is a huge Chinese character in the middle.

"Old Qin, what is this??" Shi Xiao wondered.

It's a bit like a family status symbol, and it looks like it's supposed to be a big family.

"Shi Xiao, I know you've been investigating who imprisoned you in the first place. Judging from what you've done over the years, everything is inseparable from this matter. Qin Lao smiled.

"Hmph, it's worthy of the Huaxia Martial Arts Association. Even this kind of thing can be investigated and cleared. Shi Xiao said indifferently, but he was a little wary of the Martial Arts Association.

It seems that the energy behind this Chinese martial arts association is very huge.

"Shi Xiao, you don't have to be disgusted, after all, we are also a formal organization. In this way, there is a fear that people with ill intentions will be mixed into the organization. ”

"But this thing has something to do with what you're investigating."

Shi Xiao was shocked when he heard this, and then picked up the token and looked at it carefully.

"What I'm dealing with is the super family of the Hua family, they are also the Xiuxian family, right?" Shi Xiao stroked the token, and there was a cold feeling from it.

"It's the Hua family, but it's not an ordinary family of immortal cultivators. If it were an ordinary immortal cultivator, we wouldn't be so jealous. ”

"After all, the powerhouses of the Golden Light Realm are comparable to the beginner-level monks of the Foundation Building Stage, not to mention that there are high-level martial artists behind the Golden Light Realm." Qin Lao said with some sighs.

"Could it be that their power is so powerful that both you and the 'above' are very jealous?" Shi Xiao wondered.

Qin Lao smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then said solemnly: "Although the Hua family is also an immortal cultivation family, they are an immortal cultivation family in the small secret realm. ”

"Little Secret Realm!?" Shi Xiao was shocked.

"What's the little secret realm? Listen to the literal meaning as if it is a cave and a blessed earth or something. Shi Xiao couldn't help asking.

"Yes, that's fine. But it's more complicated to explain, so let me explain it to you slowly. Elder Qin then explained to Shi Xiao what the matter of the small secret realm was.

It turns out that in ancient times, the place where ordinary mortals lived was called the mortal world. But the place where the legendary immortal cultivators, advanced martial artists, and demon beasts and divine beasts live is called the Earth Metaverse.

At that time, the aura of the mortal world was also very high, but the legend of the Earth Metaverse was jointly opened up by ancient powers. Not only in terms of the concentration of aura, it is more than several times higher than that of the mortal world.

Moreover, there are very rich resources for cultivating immortals, medicinal herbs, spars and many precious minerals abound.

However, according to legend, three thousand years ago, great changes occurred, and not only the mortal human beings suffered, but even the Earth Metaverse was also involved. Legend has it that the Earth Metaverse was shattered into countless areas, some of which disappeared with the loss of time, while some of which were occupied by the major immortal cultivation forces.

"According to what you say, there should be an entrance to the Earth Metaverse in the mortal world." Shi Xiao couldn't help but interject.

"Yes, there were before. It's just that because of the fragmentation of the Earth Element Realm, those immortal cultivators have repeatedly come down to loot the precious things in the mortal world, but the people in the mortal world have suffered countless casualties. ”

"Later, Da Neng intervened again and set a ban in these areas. Only monks in the foundation building period can travel between the two realms unhindered, but monks above the foundation building period cannot. Old Qin said.

Afterwards, Qin Lao continued to explain that over time, those monks who were living in the Earth Metaverse gradually died. Moreover, the concentration of aura in the Earth Element Realm has gradually decreased, although it is much stronger than that of the mortal world, but it is much worse than what I thought before.

So far, there are no more than ten of these Earth Metaverse forces that have survived until now. In other words, there are about ten forces in the small secret realm that exist in Huaxia Kingdom.

Shi Xiao probably also understood the origin of this small secret realm, so the immortal cultivators in these small secret realms must be much stronger than those in the outside world.

Qin Lao also seemed to see Shi Xiao's suspicions, and then said: "Although they also have strong people, they can't be compared with the ancient times. It is estimated that the strongest person is not more than the Jindan realm. ”

"But most of them are in the foundation building period, but there will be a lot of them."

Shi Xiao was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect that there were still Jindan realm powerhouses in Huaxia Kingdom. It seems that the ancient period of Huaxia is definitely not simple, and it seems that he has always underestimated the earth.

"The Hua family has mastered a small secret realm, so you and the super sect are very jealous." Shi Xiao said indifferently.

"Yes, after all, it was handed down from time immemorial. As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and we don't know what's going on inside. Qin Lao sighed.

"Thank you Qin Lao for helping me solve my doubts, otherwise it is estimated that I will be far away from investigating alone." Shi Xiao thanked.

"Actually, we also have selfish intentions, we want you to enter inside and investigate the truth. After all, the existence of such forces is a threat to the country and the people. Old Qin had a serious look on his face.

"I'm trying to settle accounts with them, but do you know how to get in? Do you know where their entrances are? Shi Xiao wondered.

"We didn't know, it was too hard to get into. And it's even more difficult to come out in a short time. ”

"But this token is a turning point, and it is said that these small secret realms will also accept some extremely talented people in the mortal world to cultivate. It is usually screened secretly, and this token can be directly brought into the small secret realm without screening. Qin Lao explained.

Shi Xiao's heart was shocked when he heard this, so this token represents a priceless treasure.

"Do you know the exact time of the audition?" Shi Xiao hurriedly asked.

"I don't know exactly when, but it should be five years from now." Qin Lao replied.

"Five years later, if I am in the Supreme Immortal Realm in five years, I will definitely be able to become a powerhouse in the Jindan Realm. But now ... Shi Xiao couldn't help but look a little ugly when he thought of this.

Now the aura in the human world is too thin, and it is fast to break through to the fifth or sixth layer of the foundation in five years.

"So, do you still want to enter and fight against the Hua family now?" Elder Qin asked solemnly.

"Of course, I will definitely destroy the Hua family." Shi Xiao said without hesitation. He came here through the long river of time with great effort to solve his inner demons and regrets in his previous life.

Now that you know who is behind the scenes, it is naturally impossible to give up.

"Well, I know you must have a lot of secrets."

"A monk in the foundation building period who is less than 20 years old, this talent was peerless in ancient times. Since you have agreed, we will do our best to support you. However, we still hope that you can investigate and clear the situation first, and don't act rashly. Qin Lao persuaded.

Shi Xiao smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, although I want to fight against them, I am not a fool, and I will not act recklessly." ”
