Returning to the sect having replaced his disciple with an older man at the Peak of the First Tribulation of the Soul Ascension Realm, Xuan Hao wasted no time in dragging the other party to the ascension realm tower after making sure that he was prepared to take on the second tribulation. Wanting to see first-hand if the ascension secret realm really did have some benefit that he hadn't been able to see through with his current strength.
As for the elder who had found himself dragged into the desolate rock world that was the ascension secret realm… He didn't complain in the slightest. Understanding full well that someone like Xuan Hao wouldn't try to trick him into taking the second tribulation just to see him suffer.
