However, when the mountain gate of Mystic Sacred Palace was breached, Qin Lang had already persuaded Gu Qingxun to leave Mystic Sacred Palace. The outer sect disciples and inner sect disciples of Yueling Peak were also brought out of Mystic Sacred Palace. Speaking of which, the Sect Leader of Mystic Sacred Palace and Gu Qingxun's father did not interfere. Perhaps he felt that it would be safer for Gu Qingxun to follow Qin Lang.
After leaving the Mystic Sacred Palace, Gu Qingxun stopped in a town in the secular world. He was prepared to send the disciples of Yueling Peak away. Actually, if it wasn't for Gu Qingxun's flying dharma treasure, many of the senior sisters of Yueling Peak would have died in the mountain. However, Gu Qingxun knew that she couldn't take care of them anymore. They could only rely on themselves in the future.
Although Gu Qingxun was only a twelve-year-old girl, she seemed to have grown up overnight when the Mystic Sacred Palace had been breached. She now had a deeper understanding of many things.
"Senior Sisters, you will have to rely on yourselves in the future." Gu Qingxun said to the disciples of Yueling Peak. It was just a simple farewell, but it contained a lot of emotions.
Although the disciples of Yueling Peak were unwilling to part with Gu Qingxun, they couldn't do anything about it since she had already made up her mind. Moreover, these Yueling Peak disciples had managed to escape with their lives. As long as they were alive, there was hope. After all, they were all cultivators. A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. In a secular dynasty, any outer sect disciple could live a luxurious life. As for the inner sect disciples, if they had the chance, they could switch to other sects. They would still have a bright future ahead of them.
However, Gu Qingxun had no intention of turning her back on her sect. After all, she was the daughter of the Sect Leader of Mystic Sacred Palace. She had already been branded as a member of the sect. If other sects found out about her identity, they would definitely not accept her easily. Of course, Gu Qingxun didn't consider joining other sects either.
Although the Mystic Saint Palace had already been breached, the higher the cultivation, the easier it was for them to escape. When the sect was breached, the ones who were most likely to die were the disciples with low cultivation. Because these disciples with low cultivation would often become "cannon fodder".
In other words, there shouldn't be too many top-notch experts in the Mystic Saint Palace that had perished. At the very least, not all of them had been annihilated. Qin Lang was very sure of this. If Qin Lang couldn't even make such a judgment, he would really be too outdated. On the other hand, Qin Lang continued to follow Gu Qingxun. On the one hand, it was because their friendship was more reliable. On the other hand, it was because Qin Lang was playing the role of an 'observer'. He wanted to learn some secrets of this Kunlun world through Gu Qingxun.
"Lang, you should leave too," Gu Qingxun said to Qin Lang at that moment.
"I don't want to leave." Qin Lang shook his head firmly. "I want to follow Little Master."
"I'm not a little master anymore. The Mystic Saint Palace had been breached, and its million-year foundation had been destroyed. In the future, I won't be able to protect you anymore.
You'll only be in more danger if you follow me! "Gu Qingxun told Qin Lang about the severity of the situation, but it still couldn't shake Qin Lang's determination.
Qin Lang tried to persuade Gu Qingxun from another angle. "I'm still young, and I'll be easily deceived if I go somewhere else. Moreover, you know that I come from a small village and don't have much experience. So instead of going somewhere else and being sold, I'd rather follow you and explore the world. Also, although I'm not very smart, I know that Little Master has always been protecting me and treating me well. So, I know what's good for me. "
It was these simple words that could move people more easily than anything else. Moreover, Gu Qingxun was only a young girl. At this time, she didn't want to live alone. So, she quickly convinced herself and agreed to let Qin Lang follow her and explore the world.
Qin Lang stayed as he wished. Six days later, Gu Qingxun's father, the Mystic Saint Palace's Sect Master, Gu Qingxuan, appeared.
Qin Lang attached great importance to Gu Qingxuan's appearance this time because he knew that Gu Qingxuan definitely knew some secrets of the Ancient Kunlun World. These secrets were very important to Qin Lang, so he naturally wanted to know.
"You're Ah Lang?" After Gu Qingxuan appeared, he sized up Qin Lang solemnly. This wasn't because Gu Qingxuan thought highly of Qin Lang, but because he wanted to confirm if Qin Lang was really reliable. After all, with Gu Qingxuan's foresight and cultivation, if Qin Lang was really hiding something, he would be able to tell. Of course, this was what Gu Qingxuan thought. He definitely didn't expect Qin Lang to hide so deeply.
"Yes, Sect Master." Qin Lang hurriedly bowed to Gu Qingxuan. At the same time, Qin Lang also knew that Gu Qingxuan was checking on him, but he didn't panic at all because Gu Qingxuan still couldn't see through Qin Lang's true background.
Sure enough, after Gu Qingxuan sized up Qin Lang and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with him, he said to Qin Lang, "Yes, you're a good kid."
Gu Qingxuan affirmed Qin Lang, but he no longer cared about Qin Lang. Instead, he said to Gu Qingxun, "Daughter, the Sacred Mystic Palace only exists in name now. Although we still have some Supreme Elders left, we have no choice but to hide and preserve our strength. As for me, I won't be able to take care of you in the future because we might be in danger at any time. If I were to bring you along, we might be killed instead."
"I know … Father, you must take care!" Gu Qingxun was very sensible at this time and didn't give her father any more problems.
"Yes … Your cultivation talent is not bad, and you're even better than me. You should go further than me in the future. However, based on my current situation, I'd rather you not become a Perfected Immortal. Remember, even if you become a Perfected Immortal one day, you must hide your cultivation realm. Don't let anyone see through you! "Gu Qingxuan warned Gu Qingxun very seriously.
Obviously, this was the crux of the matter.
Gu Qingxuan was definitely an Immortal, but he'd rather his daughter not become a Perfected Immortal. There must be something hidden in this.
Fortunately, Gu Qingxun satisfied Qin Lang's curiosity. She took the initiative to ask her father, "Father, I don't understand. Why isn't it good to increase my cultivation to Perfected Immortal?"
"Yes … Let me ask you a question." Gu Qingxuan didn't rush to explain. Instead, he asked his daughter, "What is the purpose of cultivating?"
