Chapter 314 - Being Dead Wasn’t Easy (1/2)
”Qiu Ling.” Grandmaster Zhangsun once again called out to his disciple.
This time Qiu Ling indeed turned around even though he still looked unwilling.
”What are you doing?”
”Trying to figure out how it works.”
”How it works? What are you talking about?”
”That secret realm. My beloved is inside.”
Zhangsun Xun Yi nodded relieved. ”That's good then. He was extremely lucky to have managed to enter it in time. Otherwise …” He didn't finish the sentence. His disciple certainly knew what the alternative would have been.
”Mn. So how do we open it?” Qiu Ling frowned slightly.
He had looked at it for quite a while and even though the arrays and formations used in the dragon realm were way more complex … he had no idea how the thing worked. The humans had crafted quite the simple thing but he wasn't sure what the underlying principle was.
Zhangsun Xun Yi took a deep breath. He really didn't want to be the one who said this. ”We can't.”
”Mn?” Qiu Ling raised his brows. ”What are you talking about?”
”Opening the secret realm. We can't do that.”
”Why? That thing was already blasted to smithereens. It isn't dangerous anymore. We can just open it again.”
The Grandmaster's lips tightened. ”You misunderstood. It's impossible to open the secret realm again. Well, at least for now it is.”
Qiu Ling looked at his master blankly. ”What do you mean? Impossible?”
Zhangsun Xun Yi sighed. ”Those secret realms open on their own when they are without a master. When they do so will depend on the array that connects them to our realm.”
”So, what about this array?”
”I don't know.”
In fact, it wasn't just that Zhangsun Xun Yi didn't know, he couldn't even see the array that Qiu Ling had been observing for the last few minutes. How would he be able to find out when it would open? Especially since this was a secret realm that had only been recently discovered through sheer coincidence.
Qiu Ling's lips parted but he didn't know what to say. He looked back at the array in front of him and humphed. ”Then let's return to the sect.” He'd just ask the old geezer about it. That guy had lived in the mortal realm for so long he was bound to have learned a thing or two.
”We can't.”
