Leng Jian's generous contributions indeed earned him the favor and gratitude of many Elders and Sect Masters in the Thirty-six Caves. He was regarded as an outstanding disciple nurtured by the Thirty-six Caves. However, no one knew Leng Jian's true thoughts. Leng Jian was a clever person who understood deeply in his heart that having acquired those treasures from the Ice Castle, he would not feel secure without some backing.
In fact, for the Thirty-six Caves, the journey of disciples to the Xuantian Secret Realm was a confidential matter of utmost importance, and no one was allowed to speak about it publicly. Not even the Sect Master could discuss it with regular disciples within the sect, meaning that the majority of disciples from the Thirty-six sects would not be aware of this trip to the Xuantian Secret Realm.
This rule was not only to protect those talented disciples who gained opportunities in the Xuantian Secret Realm but also to safeguard the Thirty-six Caves.
