After a long while, the Ancient Honored One turned to Ye Qingchen and said, "Kid, this Stone Gate is the exit from this Secret Realm. Once you walk through it, you can leave this Secret Realm and return to the outside world."
Ye Qingchen sensed the ancient aura emanating from the Stone Gate and let out a long breath.
The Ancient Honored One smiled, patting Ye Qingchen on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Remember, no matter how the outside world changes, you must adhere to your original intention."
Ye Qingchen smiled and nodded.
The Ancient Honored One also nodded in return, then reached out and pushed open the Stone Gate.
A faint light shone from inside the gate, as if welcoming Ye Qingchen's new journey.
Ye Qingchen was about to step out of the Stone Gate when he suddenly stopped.
He furrowed his brow and turned to look at the Ancient Honored One, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
