Chapter 1326 - 689: Fragmented Map
So it seems, the Tianqing Sect has managed to prosper for tens of thousands of years, and the Qinglong Tomb, a Yellow Grade Secret Realm, has played a significant role.
Now, as Lin Tianming recalls various pieces of intelligence from the Cultivation World regarding the Qinglong Secret Realm, his heart is utterly convinced of one thing.
According to his speculation, the token he has acquired is likely the key to unlocking the Qinglong Secret Realm of the Tianqing Sect.
The only thing that puzzles him is that this token seems to consist of two parts, or possibly more.
He reached this conclusion because the token in his hand is incomplete.
The simplest evidence is the dragon-shaped pattern on the Qinglong Stele, which is clearly only half a body.
Based on his assumptions, the Qinglong Stele likely has two parts.
Only when the two pieces of the Qinglong Stele are combined can the complete dragon pattern be revealed.
More importantly, only when the two pieces of the Qinglong Stele are united can they open the secret realm once its designated period of activation arrives.
Such mechanisms for unlocking secret realms or significant locations are, in fact, very common in the Cultivation World.
Take, for instance, some Mountain Protection Arrays, Sect Treasuries, or even certain Secret Realms and Spirit Lands—many such places require two or more keys for activation.
