A few hours later.
Liang Continent, beneath Prison Gate Mountain.
True Yang Ancestor, Three Mountains Ancestor, and Dugu Tianyi had an urgent meeting at the Secret Realm Gate.
"...Three Mountains, is what you're saying true?"
Dugu Tianyi looked skeptically at Three Mountains Ancestor:
"That Lord Qingxu really advanced to the Golden Core Realm and wiped off the mark you left on the Ten Thousand Mountains True Seal?"
"Of course, absolutely!"
Three Mountains Ancestor's expression was somber as he spoke:
"I have no reason to deceive you; he certainly has such capabilities only after advancing to Golden Core!"
"After all, although the array within the Five Elements Secret Realm is powerful, it's impossible to control it as meticulously as magical power."
"Otherwise, he would have erased my mark and taken the Ten Thousand Mountains True Seal long ago, over forty years before now."
As he spoke, his heart still bled.
