"Yes...and no."
"I heard about this from other people's mouths, so I don't know much about it, and I can't explain it to you in detail at the moment."
"Furthermore, with your current strength, knowing too much is not a good thing, so let's stop the discussion on this matter..."
When Han Yun heard this, although he was still very curious, he did not continue to inquire.
The top priority at this time is to find a way for Mr. Jin to solve this strange symptom in himself.
Everything else can be put aside for now.
Thinking of this, he bowed his head respectfully and said:
"Please help me, sir."
When the figure in the black fog heard Han Yun's request, his eyes flashed with light, and a hoarse and unpleasant voice came out of his throat:
"Han Yun, I said before, you may not be able to accept this method..."
When Han Yun heard this, his expression hesitated for a moment, but soon, he gritted his teeth again and said slowly:
"Mr. Jin, now I have no choice. No matter what price I have to pay, I believe it will not be worse than now..."
The figure in the black mist smiled strangely and replied:
"That's not necessarily true... Do you know that this method of mine will make you lose everything you have now, including your cultivation realm and your... life."
When Han Yun heard this, his expression suddenly changed wildly.
From the other party's words, he could deduce that once he chose that method, the price he would pay would be heavy.
But what I didn't expect was that it would be so heavy.
Losing the cultivation realm and life you currently have, isn't this just telling yourself to let yourself die...
Han Yun thought of this, and a few drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He swallowed, and then asked again with difficulty:
"Mr. Jin, what do you mean by this? Are you kidding me?"
The figure in the black mist sneered:
"Do you think I'm joking with you?"
Upon hearing this reply, Han Yun's complexion instantly turned gray.
His strength seemed to have been drained out of him. He smiled bitterly, stumbled back a few steps, and slowly collapsed against the wall of the secret room.
"Mr. Jin, since you don't want to save me, just say so, why did you give me that glimmer of hope before..."
"I think I have never offended you...why do you torture me like this?"
Hearing this, the figure in the black mist snorted coldly.
"Torture you? Do you think I am idle? For the method I mentioned, losing your life is one of the most important prerequisites!"
"If you don't want to, then just fend for yourself."
Hearing this, Han Yun's expression froze.
A glimmer of hope was born again in his originally despairing heart.
What does Mr. Jin mean by this sentence?
Losing life is one of the most important prerequisites. Could it be said that the method he mentioned requires experiencing death once?
However, death is like a lamp going out.
My own cultivation realm has not reached the Spirit Gathering Realm or above.
He has neither condensed the Nascent Soul nor evolved his divine thoughts.
Once the physical body dies, the consciousness will also disappear and nothing will be left.
But Mr. Jin's tone sounded serious again.
Could it be that...he has some means to resurrect the dead?
Thinking of this, Han Yun was suddenly shocked.
But then, he quickly ruled out this possibility.
Because life and death are one of the most basic Dao orders in the world.
Even the most powerful monk cannot reverse it.
Unless it is the legendary Taoist who has completely controlled all the ways in the world.
Only a being like him has the means to modify the lowest order in the world.
However, although Mr. Jin is indeed mysterious and powerful, there is no way he can be related to that legendary existence...
When Han Yun thought of this, his mind became more and more confused.
In the end, he simply shook his head, gritted his teeth, and said directly:
"Mr. Jin, please, please explain the matter clearly. In my current state, I really can't bear being frightened several times..."
Seeing his appearance, the figure in the black mist was silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed, and then slowly said:
"Han Yun, the things I'm going to talk about next are too important... Originally, I wanted to wait until you became the Valley Master of Lingxin Valley before telling you."
Although his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, Han Yun could still detect his solemnity from his words.
"As of now, I can only tell you in advance. I know you have secretly investigated my origin... I ask you, have you found any clues?"
Han Yun was shocked when he heard this.
He thought he had done it very secretly, but he didn't expect that Mr. Jin would still find out the clues.
However, listening to his words, he didn't seem angry about this matter.
Is it because he knows that it is impossible for him to investigate and find out his identity?
Thinking of this, Han Yun coughed dryly, shook his head, and responded:
"To be honest, sir, I have really thought about investigating your origins, but I have found nothing. I can only vaguely sense that you are not a monk of the Xuanzong lineage..."
"Because the monks here practice basically the same techniques. Even if there are subtle differences, they are not very different."
"Sir's method of condensing human figures into black mist and coming and going without a trace is obviously not the style of my Xuanzong lineage."
When the figure in the black mist heard Han Yun's answer, his eyes flickered a few times, and he continued to say in a hoarse and unpleasant voice:
"Yes, you still have some brains... Since you want to know my origin so much, I will confess to you directly today. I... come from the Hades Sect!"
"Northern Hell Sect?"
When Han Yun heard this answer, he was stunned for a moment, and then showed an expression of realization.
"Sir, you are actually a senior of the Underworld Sect... No wonder I feel inexplicably cold every time I meet you."
After saying this, he sighed again:
"Among the four major sects in the Tianlan Realm, the most mysterious one is the Ming Sect where Mr. belongs. The monks in the other three realms basically only know the name of the Ming Sect."
"I heard that the temperature in most areas there is stable below zero all year round. The ground is covered with a thick layer of ice and snow all year round."
"The monks of the Underworld Sect spend most of their time deep underground. They are invisible all year round, and their communication and contact with the other three realms is almost completely cut off."
"Even I only know this information after checking the files recorded in the valley."
"However, that's all. These few short words are already all the records about the Ming Sect that we have in Lingxin Valley..."
