Canglan Secret Realm

In the following days, the Black Armored Turtle hid in the sea area teeming with Demon Beast Dragon Scale Shark Sea Region, and traveled tens of thousands of miles. The spiritual light of the guiding Azure Water Token shone even brighter.

Upon seeing this, both Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong were delighted.

This action suggests that they are not far from the entrance to that sect's secret realm.

Just as the two were overjoyed, thousands of Dragon Scale Shark suddenly appeared in the depths of the sea ahead and swam rapidly toward them.

Among these thousands of Dragon Scale Shark, not one had a cultivation level lower than the Early-Stage Qi Training Foundation Establishment. There were as many as thirty or forty early and mid-stage Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Dragon Scale Shark, and as many as four Foundation Establishment Completion sharks.

"There was no Golden Consummation Realm Golden Core Shark King among those Dragon Scale Shark. It would be difficult for Dragon Scale Shark at the Foundation Establishment stage to see through the Black Armored Turtle's super strong Aura Concealing Method from nearly ten miles away. If the distance were any closer, it would be more likely."

"This area is also near the small entrance to the Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect's secret realm. The Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect still exists according to the teachings of its ancestors. How could such a powerful sect allow a group of Dragon Scale Shark to occupy the small entrance to the secret realm?"

"It's strange that such a group of Dragon Scale Shark has appeared here."

Ling Pengyun muttered to himself.

"Peng Yun, do you mean that these Dragon Scale Shark are Spirit Beast guarding the small entrance to this secret realm?" Ling Yunhong's eyes lit up slightly, a hint of joy in them, inspired.

"Good!"

"Back then, Wood Origin True Lord sensed the abnormality of our Cultivation Method simply from the auras emanating from the two of us. If we had used our Lifebound Magic Item, we might have been able to summon the person behind those Dragon Scale Shark."

"Even if my guess is wrong, it won't be difficult for us to escape the pursuit of those Dragon Scale Shark," Ling Pengyun suggested.

Ling Yunhong wholeheartedly agreed with this.

The two immediately unleashed their respective Lifebound Magic Item: the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Treasure Pearl and the Icy Cold Azure Sea Flying Sword.

With these two Lifebound Magic Item in hand, the group of Dragon Scale Shark did indeed stop advancing.

Immediately afterwards, a blue streak of light rushed out from the sea behind the shark swarm.

"As expected, there is a cultivator controlling that group of Dragon Scale Shark. Judging from the power of the flowing light, the person must be a Golden Core Realm expert."

Ling Pengyun stared at the blue streak of light, a look of joy spreading across his face.

In less than half a breath, the blue streak of light traversed ten miles and stopped in front of Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong.

This blue streak of light was the transformation of a beautiful white-haired female cultivator dressed in a blue Daoist robe.

Although the beautiful female cultivator looked young, both Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong, as Spirit Planter, could subtly sense that her vitality was weak. They suspected that her true age matched her white hair, and that her lifespan was nearing its end.

As for her beautiful face, it is probably due to various anti-aging products that she maintains her youthful appearance.

After the beautiful white-haired female cultivator appeared in front of the two, she did not make any extreme moves.

He simply took Ling Pengyun's Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Treasure Pearl, Ling Yunhong's Icy Cold Azure Sea Flying Sword, and the Azure Water Token into his hands and examined them carefully.

"It is about 50% similar to the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Dharma Seal and Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Flying Sword of my sect. The refining method is also roughly the same, only the appearance is somewhat different."

The beautiful white-haired female cultivator gazed at the two Law Artifact in her hands and muttered to herself.

Then, she raised her gaze and used her Divine Sense to scan Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong.

"The aura of the Cultivation Method he practices is about 50% similar to, but 50% different from, my sect's Azure Sea Azure Sky Art."

"The person who modified the Azure Sea Azure Sky Art the sect is quite talented. It's just a change in form but not in substance. The aura of the Cultivation Method has been changed, but its power remains the same."

"I just didn't expect that Azure Water Shidi's aura would remain within this Azure Water Token."

Upon reaching this point, the white-haired, beautiful female cultivator scanned her surroundings with her Divine Sense and found that no one was following her.

A kind smile appeared on her face as she looked at Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong, whom she had never seen before.

"The fact that you two are able to possess Azure Water Shidi's token suggests that your ancestors had a close relationship with Azure Water Shidi."

"Who were your ancestors who joined our clan? Please tell us about your origins!"

Upon hearing this question, Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong immediately recognized that the white-haired female cultivator before them was a member of the Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect, specifically tasked with guarding the small entrance to this secret realm.

Their expressions immediately became excited. The guard at the entrance to the mountain gate had reached the Golden Core realm, which meant that there were quite a few Golden Core True Person within the Azure Sea Secret Realm.

"The sect's Golden Core inheritance must not have been interrupted." Ling Pengyun was secretly delighted.

"True Person, our ancestor was named Ling Zhu, and he was a disciple of Master Azure Water True Person. Two or three hundred years ago, when the Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect was defeated in the final battle against the enemy sect, our ancestor was unable to escape back to the sect's secret realm in time. Helpless, our ancestor had to hide in the east and west."

"In the end, we fled to the Yan Kingdom in the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World and established a small Qi Refining Lineage called Ling Clan. After more than two hundred years of development, Ling Clan has now become a Foundation Establishment Family."

Clan Head Ling Yunhong dared not conceal the truth and explained in detail.

"Ling Zhu... that name sounds familiar." The beautiful white-haired female cultivator wasn't particularly interested in the origins of Ling Pengyun and his companion, nor did she bother to verify their authenticity. Once they joined the sect, the sect would handle it itself.

However, when she heard the name "Ling Zhu", her heart stirred.

It wasn't until she heard the name "Azure Water True Person" that she realized the identity of "Ling Zhu".

"So it was that Ling Boy who found a third-tier Black Water Spirit Tree trunk for Junior Azure Water Shidi. No wonder the name Ling Zhu sounded familiar."

"It's a pity about that Ling Boy. Such a talented person has fallen to such a state. If he had survived that sect war back then, he would probably have already reached the Golden Core realm by now, relying on Azure Water Shidi's influence."

The white-haired female cultivator came to her senses, and her smile deepened.

"I never imagined that you two were descendants of that Ling Boy."

Seeing that the beautiful female cultivator recognized her ancestor Ling Zhu, Ling Yunhong's joy grew even more, and he immediately asked her a question.

"Senior, are you familiar with our ancestors?"

The white-haired, beautiful female cultivator's eyes revealed a hint of reminiscence, and she sighed with a sense of helplessness.

"Back then, I knew that the most promising disciple of that generation was the one who could become a third-tier Spirit Planter. It's just a pity that the battle back then was too fierce. The Sect Disciple, but they still ended up in defeat."

"Why!"

"Alright, let's not waste any more time on small talk. You will naturally learn about your ancestors after you join the clan."

After saying this, the white-haired female cultivator's gaze shifted, settling on the Black Armored Turtle beneath Ling Pengyun and the other person, and a sense of appreciation gradually appeared in her eyes.

"You two lads have quite the skill in Aura Concealing Method of that Black Armored Turtle you're riding. It only came within ten miles of me before I noticed it. It almost fooled me. Nurture this turtle well; perhaps its Dao Path will be even longer than yours."

"By the way, my Daoist name is Kui Yuan. Since you are disciples and grand-disciples of Azure Water True Person, you can call me Old Ancestor Kui Yuan."

"You've come all the way from the distant Northern Wilderness Cultivation World, presumably with the intention of joining a sect."

Clan Head Ling Yunhong nodded and said, "What you say, Master, True Person reflects my own thoughts."

"Then come with me into the sect." Upon hearing this, Sunflower True Person did not say anything more or ask any more questions. He nodded slightly and then led the two of them slowly into the depths of the sea.

As for the group of Dragon Scale Shark, they followed behind.

After traveling about ten miles, Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong followed the beautiful white-haired female cultivator into a hidden underwater valley.

Outside the underwater valley, Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong did not notice anything special about it.

Upon entering the valley, the two immediately sensed the extremely rich Water Spiritual Energy.

"A third-tier Water Vein!"

Ling Pengyun was startled.

Immediately afterwards, the two saw two Dragon Scale Shark, each forty or fifty feet long and exuding a rich Blood Qi, lying asleep on a seabed deep in the valley.

"Such a size, such imposing presence... Golden Core Realm Dragon Scale Shark!"

At that very moment, the two Golden Core Realm Dragon Scale Shark also opened their eyes.

When they saw that Sunflower True Person had brought two unfamiliar cultivators with him, their eyes all showed vigilance.

Na Sunflower True Person also noticed this, and she spoke calmly.

"These two are Azure Water Shidi's disciples and grand-disciples; they must not be rude!"

The two Golden Core Realm Dragon Scale Shark, who could understand human speech, immediately lost their wariness upon hearing these words and closed their eyes again.

Then, Sunflower True Person led Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong into a cave carved into a cliff face deep within the underwater valley.

Upon entering the cave, Sunflower True Person waved his hand and took out a token engraved with the two characters "Kui Yuan," then inscribed a Method Formula into it.

The Kui Yuan Token trembled slightly, emanating a unique spiritual energy fluctuation.

Immediately afterwards, cracks began to appear in the space surrounding the Kui Yuan Token.

It eventually formed a deep, dark hole that was ten feet high.

Inside this black hole, there is nothing but emptiness; nothing can be seen.

Upon seeing this, Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong couldn't help but probe into it with their Divine Sense, wanting to investigate further.

However, as soon as their Divine Sense probed into it, they were blocked by an invisible barrier, making it difficult for them to investigate the situation inside the void black hole.

"It's good that Sunflower True Person is standing here," he said kindly.

"Our sect's secret realm can be considered a medium-sized secret realm, not far from a large secret realm. A secret realm that can reach a certain scale has become a small world within itself, with powerful Principle evolving within it. Not to mention the two of you, even Nascent Soul True Lord would find it difficult to use their Divine Sense to explore the situation inside this entrance."

"Similarly, even if Nascent Soul True Lord doesn't have a special method, it would be difficult for them to forcibly enter my sect's secret realm."

"This is also the foundation that has enabled our sect to continue to this day."

"Come with me into the sect."

Immediately, Sunflower True Person took the lead and entered the void black hole.

Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong exchanged a glance and followed suit.

Once the three of them entered the black hole, the black hole disappeared.

On the other side.

Ling Pengyun's vision blurred, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself, Ling Yunhong, and the Sunflower True Person outside a mountain gate adorned with carved dragons and phoenixes.

Above the mountain gate hangs a blue plaque with the six characters "Azure Sea Azure Sky Immortal Sect" written on it.

On either side of the mountain gate, there were two elderly cultivators at the Pseudo-Core Realm, stationed there.

Upon seeing Sunflower True Person appear, the two elderly cultivators stepped forward, bowed to him, and cast curious glances at Sunflower True Person Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong.

However, Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong did not pay attention to these things at the moment, but instead looked around at the situation.

Inside the mountain gate lies a boundless mountain range stretching for tens or even hundreds of miles, brimming with Spiritual Qi.

On each of the sacred mountains in this mountain range, there are many luxurious pavilions.

Many cultivators also flew out from those spiritual mountains, riding on flying swords.

In addition, the two realized that they were currently on an island, but the island was extremely large.

This is because both sides of the land are surrounded by an endless ocean.

Sunflower True Person glanced at Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong, who were both stunned, and explained in detail.

"This is where my sect's secret realm is located. The area of my sect's secret realm is 3,333 li in size."

"The island we are on now is called Azure Sea Island. It is 500 li in size. Beyond the island is the sea. This sea seems vast, but it is only 2,500 li in size."

"Don't delay any longer, you still need to enter the third-order Heart Questioning Grand Formation."

After saying this, Sunflower True Person summoned a blue coral Law Artifact.

The coral Law Artifact shimmered with spiritual light and quickly grew to about ten feet in size.

Sunflower True Person also jumped onto the coral Law Artifact.

"I never imagined that the legendary secret realm would be so vast."

Ling Pengyun was secretly startled before following Ling Yunhong up to Sunflower True Person's coral Law Artifact.

Sunflower True Person then rode this flying magical Law Treasure and flew into the mountain gate.

As for the Heart Questioning Grand Formation, Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong did not care, after all, they were not direct descendants of the sect and were considered outsiders.

It would be strange if someone didn't use such methods of questioning the mind after joining the sect.

at the same time.

One of the two elderly cultivators guarding the mountain gate, an old cultivator with Dao Ba on his face, watched Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong's departing figures with some curiosity.

"I have been guarding the mountain gate for decades. In recent years, the number of cultivators from the sect who have gone out into the outside world can be counted on one hand, less than a hundred. I am not affected by the appearance of these two people."

"Judging from the appearance, those two came from the small entrance to the Dragon Scale Sea Region that Kui Yuan was guarding. That's strange."

Another kind-looking old monk with a goatee on his chin was moved upon hearing this.

"Dao Ba, do you think those two might be descendants of one of our sect's high-ranking members who were lost to the outside world? Did they find the Dragon Scale Sea Region guarded by Kui Yuan through something left behind by their elders?"

The cultivator with a large Dao Ba on his face said enviously, "That's possible. If those two Foundation Establishment Completion cultivators can pass the sect's Heart Questioning Grand Formation and successfully enter the sect, their Dao Path might not be limited to the Foundation Establishment Realm."
