However, after years of vicissitudes, the aura of our sect has gradually dimmed, and it has begun to enter a state of decline.

Although the bloodline inheritance has not been cut off, the cultivation qualifications are extremely different, and one generation is inferior to the other, which makes people sigh.

To make matters worse, many precious martial arts techniques were damaged or lost during the inheritance process, greatly reducing the strength of our sect.

Over the years, we have been ridiculed and insulted by outside forces because of our decline, and it seems that we have become the target of public criticism.

As the only bloodline among the younger generation, I shoulder the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the sect, and I deeply feel the great responsibility.

My mother has high hopes for me. She sees that I have excellent cultivation aptitude and thinks that I have the potential to change the fate of the sect.

Under her careful instruction, I practiced hard and continuously improved my strength, hoping to become the light of hope for the rise of the sect.

Including the two guardians behind me, they are none other than the ancestors of my sect."

Ye Chen nodded slightly, which allowed the two ancestors to protect him, which was enough to prove that he valued her.

Yun Mengyao continued.

“However, just a few days ago, the Xuan Shuang Immortal Sect, which is on par with us, actually made a request for marriage.

The sect master and the young sect master of the Xuanshuang Immortal Sect came to our sect in person, with a determined attitude, intending to marry me as their wife.

Originally, my mother was extremely resistant to this matter. She knew my wishes well and did not want me to become a victim of this political marriage.

However, Xuanshuang Sect Master used both soft and hard tactics. He threatened that if we did not agree, he would unite with several other major sects to completely wipe out our sect.

As the sect leader, the mother is responsible for the safety and future of the entire sect. She cannot only consider her personal emotions and wishes.

After weighing the pros and cons, she reluctantly agreed to the marriage.

As for the young master of Xuanshuang Sect, his reputation has long been infamous in the world of cultivation.

He was a playboy through and through, and I don’t know how many women he played with and then abandoned.

If I really marry him, I'm afraid the days ahead will be dark.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sadness in my heart.

I know that I can't change my mother's decision, nor can I change this upcoming fate.

I can only bear all this silently and look forward to finding my own happiness one day."

When Ye Chen heard this, he probably understood her difficulty and asked directly.

"Then how do you want me to help you?"

Yun Mengyao looked at Ye Chen with a pitiful and helpless look in her eyes, and said with a hint of pleading.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, you may not know yet, but within my sect, there is a place of inheritance left by our ancestors, which is called the Secret Realm of Immortal Sound by the world.

I once heard my mother mention that the secret realm of Xianyin contains the supreme inheritance of our ancestors.

If I am lucky enough to obtain this inheritance, our sect will surely regain its glory and rise again, becoming the overlord of one party and powerful in all directions.

Therefore, I sincerely invite Fellow Daoist Ye to explore this mysterious fairyland with me.

Regardless of whether I can finally obtain the inheritance from my ancestors, I will give Fellow Daoist Ye a generous gift of thanks.

You and I, walking hand in hand, may be able to uncover more secrets in the Xianyin Secret Realm and jointly witness the glorious future of the sect."

Ye Chen asked with some confusion.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, although your sect has declined, there are still strong men who have transcended the tribulation period. Why can't they accompany you into the secret realm?"

Yunmengyao explained with a sigh.

"Beyond that unfathomable secret realm, there is an invisible barrier, which is like the most mysterious guardian in the world.

Severe tests are set for every life that attempts to cross its boundaries.

This invisible boundary has an unquestionable rule - anyone who steps into it must not be over a hundred years old.

Otherwise, no matter how advanced your cultivation is, you will be ruthlessly rejected.

However, among the monks in our sect who are under a hundred years old, the ones with the highest level of cultivation have only reached the Mahayana stage.

Such strength is already out of reach for ordinary people, but it seems so insignificant when faced with the secret realm behind the barrier.

In past history, there are many brave people who tried to challenge this limit.

They are either the best in the sect or the powerful ones with great reputations, and their cultivation has reached the peak of the Mahayana period.

But without exception, they failed to return safely from the mysterious land in the end. Instead, they became eternal passers-by in that mysterious land.

Today, when I witnessed the extraordinary qualifications of Fellow Daoist Ye, I couldn't help but feel a strong expectation in my heart.

Maybe you are the kind of person who can break the rules and rewrite history.

Therefore, I extend an invitation to Fellow Daoist Ye, hoping to help me, explore the unknown secret realm with me, and help me obtain the inheritance."

After Ye Chen heard the reason, he said with a smirk.

"I see, then I would like to ask, if I agree to explore the secret realm with you, what reward will I get?"

As soon as these words came out, Yun Mengyao couldn't help but be stunned, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She never expected that Ye Chen would be so obsessed with wealth. This money-obsessed look really surprised her.

As a saint, she has a noble status, but the resources she can mobilize are not endless.

For a genius like Ye Chen, ordinary cultivation resources may no longer be able to penetrate his eyes.

Although legend has it that there are countless treasures hidden in the secret realm, for thousands of years, no one has been able to get a glimpse of its true content.

If after entering the secret realm, Ye Chen finds that there are no resources he needs, and if she becomes angry because of this, then she, a saint, may not be able to resist.

However, for Yunmengyao at this moment, this is her only chance to fight.

She knew in her heart that if she missed this opportunity, she might face a crueler fate - marrying someone else and losing her freedom and dreams.

Thinking of this, Yun Mengyao couldn't help but take a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the anxiety and uneasiness in her heart.

She knew that she had to make a decision and face it bravely no matter what the outcome was.

Yun Mengyao looked up at Ye Chen and found that he was looking at her up and down. Her face suddenly turned red, she subconsciously took two steps back, cupped her fists slightly and said.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, I really can't promise you too much now. If you can help me with this, I will never refuse any conditions put forward by you, as long as I can fulfill them."

Ye Chen touched his chin with his hand and continued to tease Yun Mengyao with a wicked smile.

"Any conditions? Including yourself?"

Yun Mengyao's eyes wandered over Ye Chen's face, capturing every subtle change in his expression.

And his explicit words were like cold arrows, hitting the softest place in her heart.

She once thought that in this vast world, there were always some men who were different and could transcend the temptation of the body and see the deeper beauty of the soul.

However, at this moment, the fantasy in her heart seemed to collapse instantly.

Yun Mengyao lowered her eyes gently to cover up the disappointment and unwillingness in her eyes.

She took a deep breath, as if to suppress all the emotions in her heart, and then slowly raised her head, with a determined light shining in her eyes.

"Ye Daoyou"

Her voice was low and serious, and every word seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight.

"As you said, as long as you can help me explore the secret realm and get that inheritance, I am willing to do my best to meet all your conditions, which naturally includes... myself."

There was a sense of determination in her words, as if she was ready for some kind of sacrifice.

As Ye Chen listened to her words, he was filled with shock and confusion. He didn't expect that Yun Mengyao would agree to his condition so directly.

However, Ye Chen is not the kind of man who is easily fooled by beauty.

He knew that nothing in this world was more important than his own strength and cultivation.

The reason why he put forward such a condition was just to test Yun Mengyao's determination and sincerity.

At this moment, when he looked at Yun Mengyao's firm eyes, he couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart.

He knew that he might actually have found a partner he could trust.
