Crazy

Ningyu City.

After the True Disciple entered the Xuanzhen Secret Realm, all the powerful figures from the sects remained in the northern square of Ningyu City.

They sat or stood, having spent a lot of time in seclusion for spiritual practice, and now that they rarely went out, they took the opportunity to relax.

Moreover, they can witness many lively events here, adding to their enjoyment of their spiritual practice.

For example, when someone mentions how many people have died in a certain sect, the sect's powerful figures change their expressions drastically.

Initially, when the seven members of the Feathered Ascension Sect died, although other sects dared not speak out, the other powerful figures from the top sects did not hold back.

For example, Wang Zhanqiu of the Northern Profound Sect and Luo He of the Heavenly Chen Sect.

Fang Yu, a powerful figure from the Feathered Ascension Sect, was so angry that he almost got into a fight.

However, Ningyu City is governed by all the superior sects of the North and South Domains, who have jointly formulated city rules that absolutely forbid anyone from taking action, including their powerful figures.

Otherwise, other sects can unite to attack them!

Therefore, Fang Yu remained indignant, occasionally glancing at Wang Zhanqiu and Luo He with suspicious eyes.

It wasn't until within the Xuanzhen Secret Realm that Ning Qi killed Chu Xiaotian...

When Wang Zhanqiu took out the Soul Lamp, he saw that the most important life flame within it had gone out, and a terrifying energy fluctuation immediately surged from his body.

His excitement stemmed from the fact that Chu Xiaotian was the most outstanding disciple of their Northern Profound Sect, and had been groomed to be the next sect leader, representing the future hope of their Northern Profound Sect!

Now that Chu Xiaotian is dead, Wang Zhanqiu couldn't believe it at first!

He blinked repeatedly, and even after the other powerful figures in the sect confirmed it, it was finally confirmed that Chu Xiaotian's life flame had truly been extinguished.

But how could that be?

Zhou Shouzi, a powerful figure in the Nascent Soul Realm within the sect, once said that with Chu Xiaotian's mastery of the Primordial Spirit Primordial Spirit, he would be invincible!

However, while the other disciples are all unharmed, Chu Xiaotian has become the first prodigy to fall!

Wang Zhanqiu could no longer suppress his anger.

"Damn it, what are those other seven guys doing? Are they just going to watch Xiaotian die?!"

Fang Yu of the Feathered Ascension Sect twitched his ears slightly and guessed everything. His expression finally improved, as he had finally gotten his chance to counterattack.

Wasn't Wang Zhanqiu mocking the Feathered Ascension Sect? Fine, he'll pay double!

So, Fang Yu said in a sarcastic tone:

"Wang Zhanqiu, the geniuses of your Northern Profound Sect are too weak! All the other disciples are still alive, but he's dead?"

Wang Zhanqiu was already furious. Upon hearing this, he immediately condensed his magical Law Power into a large hand and slapped it towards Fang Yu.

However, Fang Yu easily blocked his attack and said at the same time:

"Try doing it again, and don't forget what you told me before!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhanqiu's face instantly turned a deep purplish-red.

This Ningyu City is not part of the Northern Profound Upper Sect, and everything here is subject to its restrictions.

But he was still indignant and actually slapped the square with his palm!

The plaza shook instantly. Even with the Formation protecting the city, a deep crater appeared on the plaza under Chu Xiaotian's attack!

After Wang Zhanqiu finished his palm strike, his eyes blazing with boundless fury, he swept over the crowd and said:

"I didn't attack anyone, so don't even think about causing me trouble!"

However, at this moment, Luo He of the Tianchen Upper Sect spoke up:

"Wang Zhanqiu, you're wrong to say that. Ningyu City belongs to all of us. Your actions are making things difficult for everyone!"

Wang Zhanqiu glanced at Luo He, his gaze seemingly solidifying.

However, Luo He was not intimidated at all. He met Wang Zhanqiu's gaze, and his eyes seemed to contain a swirling galaxy!

Seeing unusual phenomena is the most basic ability of these Void Realm experts.

Fang Yu snorted softly from the side.

He didn't appreciate Luo He's support, because Luo He had also mocked him before.

Before, Fang Yu would have loved to fight him, but now that even the most outstanding talents of the Northern Profound Sect had fallen, his mood naturally became more balanced.

On the other side, Ma Long, the powerful figure from the Bull Demon Sect who had been sitting in the square with his eyes closed, also opened his eyes.

Clearly, the two top sects had suffered such heavy losses that even his face, marked by a deep, etched scar, couldn't help but show a hint of worry.

The opening of the Mysterious Realm this time seems to be quite extraordinary. I hope the True Disciple of their Bull Demon Sect will be alright.

As for the other sects, they were also filled with unease.

Although they enjoyed watching the clashes between the top sects, the safety of their own sect's True Disciple was the most important thing right now.

Therefore, all the powerful figures waited in the square, fearing that some terrible news might come out from inside.

Sure enough, shortly after Chu Xiaotian's death, the powerful figures in the square would occasionally take out the soul lamps of their respective sects to examine them.

Each time, it signifies the death of a True Disciple.

The powerful beings could no longer remain calm; anxiety filled their faces.

True Person Ziyang and Jiang Ruhai, a powerful figure from the Jiang family, also nervously took out the True Disciple Soul Lamp of the Wuji Sword Sect and glanced at it.

Thankfully, everyone survived!

Some time passed.

Wang Zhanqiu suddenly took out the Soul Lamp again and saw that the remaining seven life flames inside had all gone out at the same time.

His face turned pale instantly, and he let out a deafening roar.

"Who exactly is targeting my Northern Profound Sect?"

The crowd was drawn to him, and they watched as the life flame inside the soul lamp he was carrying was completely gone.

While everyone secretly gloated, they were also deeply worried about the True Disciple of their sect.

Seeing that all the True Disciple of the Northern Profound Sect had been wiped out, even Luo He and Fang Yu dared not provoke Wang Zhanqiu at this moment.

As a top-tier sect, the fact that the first of its True Disciple had all died was a humiliating disgrace that even they were unwilling to bear.

However, both of them secretly glanced at their sect's soul lamp.

Fortunately, the remaining three members of the Feathered Ascension Sect are temporarily unharmed, and the Heavenly Birth Sect is even more complete, with all ten members still alive.

Luo He felt a surge of satisfaction. Sure enough, their Tianchen Upper Sect was the strongest.

Ma Long of the Bull Demon Sect glanced at his own soul lamp and discovered four destructions within it. He couldn't help but exhale two puffs of white breath from his nose.

But in the end, it all turned into a sigh, because compared to the Northern Profound Sect and the Feathered Ascension Sect, they were already considered better off.

The two from the Wuji Sword Sect also looked at the Soul Lamp one more time.

The life-giving flame within the soul lamp remains!

The two of them thought that the Wuji Sword Sect was incredibly lucky!

Then time passed, and not long after that...

Luo He was finally drawn to the vibration of the soul lamp in his hand. Upon seeing it, he almost crushed the entire lamp in one go.

The other powerful figures immediately looked at him and finally saw that the people of Tianchen Shangzong had perished.

Wang Zhanqiu and Fang Yu paid close attention and immediately guessed that it must be related to the prodigy Ren Zong.

Sure enough, seeing that only one of the soul lamps in Luo He's hand had gone out, and that Luo He was so shaken, there was no doubt that Ren Zong had also perished.

Ren Zong's position is the same as Chu Xiaotian's position in the Northern Profound Sect; both are candidates for sect leader.

With the deaths of two top-tier prodigies from various sects, Wang Zhanqiu and Luo He suddenly felt the same way.

What exactly happened inside?

"Our disciples' prodigies cannot die so easily. They all possess incomplete mid-grade spiritual treasures, so even if a Void Realm expert attacks, they can still escape with their lives."

"Unfortunately, we cannot enter the Mysterious Realm and are unable to explore its secrets."

Ma Long glanced at the soul lamp in his hand again and saw that the life flames of Niu Man and the other six were still flickering. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but his heart was also in his throat, neither calm nor anxious.

Compared to Ren Zong and Chu Xiaotian, even Ma Long had to admit that Niu Man was slightly inferior to the two.

Now that both of them have passed away, Ma Long is extremely worried.

At this moment, only True Person of the Wuji Sword Sect and Jiang Ruhai, a powerful figure from the Jiang family, were gazing at the soul lamp in their hands in the entire square.

You looked at me, I looked at you, both of us with expressions of utter shock.

This is the third time they've looked at this soul lamp. Of the nine True Disciple disciples of the Wuji Sword Sect who entered the Xuanzhen Secret Realm, all of them are still alive!

It wasn't that they wanted their True Disciple to die in misfortune, but rather that they simply couldn't believe it.

Even top-tier sects can be wiped out, so why is the Wuji Sword Sect so lucky?

The two exchanged a glance, both feeling that it was probably related to Ning Qi.

The two of them then thought of the attack they had encountered before coming to Ningyu City.

At that time, six powerful figures took action, and two of them chased after Ning Qi and Qin Minghao, who had been taken away by Ye Qingtian. However, in the end, only they returned alive.

They were both able to survive back then, and now Ning Qi is leading the group to survive, and it seems there are no problems either.

Suddenly, True Person Ziyang flicked his fingers repeatedly at the Soul Lamp, and instantly eight life flames within the Soul Lamp were extinguished.

Jiang Ruhai was taken aback when he saw this.

However, he instantly felt Wang Zhanqiu, Luo He, and Fang Yu, who were located in the middle of the square, sweeping over everyone.

Jiang Ruhai instantly understood. As expected, experience counts, and Master Ziyang was True Person too experienced.

Other sects have suffered numerous deaths, and they are merely an ordinary upper sect; how could they expect to have no one escape death?

At least they can freely manipulate the life flame within the soul lamp.

However, the two were also skilled actors, and instantly, like the powerful figures around them, they showed expressions of grief on their faces.

Wang Zhanqiu's gaze quietly fell on the two of them. Seeing their expressions and the soul lamps in their hands, he frowned slightly.

It's outrageous that two members of their Wuji Sword Sect are still alive. Ning Qi must be dead too, right?

Although he maintained a facade of competence, True Person Ziyang's face revealed genuine worry.

What if they wait until the Xuanzhen Secret Realm opens and Ning Qi and his group emerge from it? At that point, they won't be able to hide it from everyone!

I'm afraid all the sects would think that the Wuji Sword Sect must be up to something.

True Person Ziyang understood people's hearts and planned ahead, but he really had no way to deal with it.

Even if the sect leader were to arrive now, it would be of no use. After all, they were facing powerful figures from all the sects in both the Northern and Southern Domains, and their Wuji Sword Sect was far too weak.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed in surprise.

"Look quickly at the entrance to the Mysterious Realm!"

The powerful figures immediately looked over and saw that the entrance to the Xuanzhen Secret Realm was radiating a dazzling golden light, which dyed the entire square golden.

Everyone's face showed surprise and uncertainty.

"What is this golden light, and why is it emanating from within the Mysterious Realm?"

"According to the sect's records, there have been instances of golden light leaking out in history, but at most it only illuminated the entrance to the Xuanzhen Secret Realm in gold. The light that is illuminating the entire plaza right now is simply unprecedented, unparalleled in history!"

"Each time golden light shines through, it signifies the emergence of a golden tomb at the Dao Integration Realm within the Xuanzhen Secret Realm. This time, it's likely..."

The man didn't finish speaking, but everyone knew what he was going to say.

In an instant, the eyes of all the powerful figures present gleamed.

Suddenly another person said, "Why do I feel like the restrictions of the Mysterious Realm are weakening?"

"Weaken? Are you sure?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately used their Primordial Spirit to scan the entrance to the Mysterious Realm.

Sure enough, according to their perception, the Restriction on the Xuanzhen Secret Realm were indeed loosening, and were weakening at a perceptible rate.

Luohe Road of Tianchen Shangzong:

"Could it be that the main tomb of the Xuanzhen Secret Realm has been opened?"

Fang Yu replied, "That's possible. No wonder the murderous intent within the Xuanzhen Secret Realm was so terrifying; many of the sect's True Disciple perished."

Wang Zhanqiu remained silent, his eyes like knives, fixed on the entrance to the Xuanzhen Secret Realm, lost in thought.

"With the main tomb now revealed, the restrictions of the Xuanzhen Secret Realm have weakened. Judging by the speed at which it's being opened, we'll probably be entering it soon too," someone suggested.

Upon hearing this, all the powerful beings were shocked.

If that's the case, then even if the True Disciple of the sect perish, as long as they can still obtain a large amount of resources from it, they can still have an explanation when they return to the sect.

Moreover, everyone is well aware of one thing: the appearance of the main tomb likely indicates the presence of profound Dao-cultivating techniques within it.

The Dao-Harmony Profound Technique is definitely what they want most.

In particular, if a few top sects obtain the Dao Integration Technique, then the giants of their sects in the Integration Realm may leap forward and become Dao Integration Realm ancestors.

At that time, it will be highly possible to unify the North and South regions and restore the glory of the Xuanzhen Domain.

As a result, all the powerful figures were eager to fight, and even their anger at the death of their True Disciple seemed to have been forgotten.

True Person Ziyang gazed at the increasingly loosened entrance to the Mysterious Realm and muttered to himself:

"Ning boy, you must take the others and escape as far as you can. Don't let any powerful figures find you. The rise of our Wuji Sword Sect rests on your shoulders."

The Restriction on the entrance to the Mysterious Realm ahead did not weaken gradually; instead, they suddenly disappeared completely at a certain moment.

Sensing this, all the powerful beings present went wild!

Immediately, several impatient figures flew towards the entrance.

However, no one stopped them; everyone was watching to see if they could really get in.

Once they saw that everyone had indeed flown inside, the remaining powerful figures could no longer restrain themselves and rushed in.

Since the Xuanzhen Secret Realm split into the North and South Domains, it has existed for a long time, but the treasures within it have never been fully explored.

After all, only those at the Primordial Spirit Realm can enter, and at the very least, the tomb inside is a bronze tomb, representing those at the Void Dao Realm.

As for the silver and gold tombs further up, can one really expect Primordial Spirit cultivator to take everything inside?

They'd be lucky if they could break through the Restriction inside and take some away.

But now, the powerful figures present have encountered the greatest fortuitous opportunity of their lives, and they too can enter.

So perhaps they could unearth all the treasures from these large tombs in one go, so how could they not be excited?

At this moment, even the anger over the death of the prodigy couldn't spur them to thoroughly investigate the matter; retrieving the treasure was the priority!

Once the powerful figures entered the Xuanzhen Secret Realm, the first thing they saw was the collapsed Golden Heavenly Tomb in the distance.

Everyone sighed in regret.

"That should be the core main tomb of the Xuanzhen Secret Realm, but it's a pity it has collapsed."

"No wonder so many people died before; it was caused by the collapse of the main tomb."

Should we go there and take a look?

"Are you kidding me? What's the point of watching if it's all destroyed? Besides, time is of the essence!"

As the golden main tomb collapsed, beams of light shot into the sky one after another within the Xuanzhen Secret Realm.

The light of bronze is countless, the light of silver is hundreds, and the light of gold is thirty!

All the great powers know what that means.

Instantly, figures emerged, emanating terrifying Law Power and even revealing the power of rules, as they desperately flew towards the golden light in various directions.

Along the way, many powerful figures even started fighting each other, just like the scene when the Primordial Spirit Realm True Disciple saw the Golden Heavenly Tomb emerge.

True Person Ziyang and Jiang Ruhai stood together, unlike the other powerful figures who flew towards the various tombs.

The Restriction on the Mysterious Realm disappeared, and they did not separate after entering.

True Person Ziyang secretly transmitted his voice:

"Quickly locate Ning Qi and the others; we must get them out of here first!"

Jiang Ruhai nodded.

"Alright, once we find their location, we'll head there immediately. Either one of us will take them back while the other stays to explore for treasure, or we can both just go back."

Before long, the two sensed the location of Ning Qi and the others and immediately headed there.

Before the Golden Heavenly Tomb collapsed, Ning Qi fortunately deciphered the Formation within the Golden Palace.

He activated the Formation, instantly teleporting the people of the Wuji Sword Sect and the six demons of the Bull Barbarian Sect together.

They were teleported to a remote location, but they still saw several powerful figures fighting not far away, their brains nearly popping out of their sockets.

The powerful figures didn't even bother to glance at them upon their appearance.

How could a mere Nascent Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator possibly be distracted by such boundless treasures?

The bull demons looked at Ning Qi, their eyes overflowing with gratitude.

The gains of their Bull Demon Sect during this trip to the Mysterious Realm were simply terrifying.

Although it was much less than what Ning Qi had gained, Niu Man and the other demons knew the importance of being content.

Moreover, Ren Zong and Wu Dao had only offered them a complete mid-grade spiritual treasure and some spiritual blood when they asked them to deal with Ning Qi.

And now, Ning Qi has directly given them three mid-grade spiritual treasures!

This amount, if taken out, would be enough to buy some minor sects that only have Void Realm cultivators in charge.

The True Disciple behind Ning Qi, upon witnessing this scene, couldn't help but puff out their chests.

Following Senior Brother Ning, that's how prestigious it is.

They looked up at Ning Qi's back. Of the eight True Disciple, apart from Qin Minghao and Wang Ye, the remaining six True Disciple had all made their decisions in their hearts.

After returning to the Wuji Sword Sect, we must merge with the Five Elements Peak where Senior Brother Ning resides, no matter what!

In this life, they will only follow Senior Brother Ning!

"Brother Ning, I am extremely grateful for your trip, but I advise you to leave as soon as possible."

Niu Man swept his gaze over the members of the Wuji Sword Sect.

Everyone instantly understood the look in his eyes; he was worried about them, after all, they were the only ones who hadn't died.

Jiang Qingxue also chimed in, "Senior Brother Ning, Brother Niu's words make sense. We're too dazzling; right now, it's more of a curse than a blessing."

Ning Qi nodded slightly.

"Alright, in that case, Brother Niu, let's part ways here and meet again sometime."

Niu Man patted Ning Qi on the shoulder and suddenly handed him something—a beautifully decorated bull horn, only the size of a palm.

"Brother Ning, please accept this item. It allows you to communicate with me remotely, and even if you encounter someone from my Bull Demon Sect outside, you can command them, as long as they are not a great power."

"Furthermore, if the Northern Profound Sect tries to cause you trouble, please let us know that we have sworn an oath to the Demon God and will definitely help you resist the Northern Profound Sect. Brother Ning, you wouldn't want us to perish because of this oath, would you?"

Ning Qi smiled and accepted the bull horn.

"Then we won't disappoint you all. Also, Brother Niu, we hope you won't reveal our situation."

Niu Man solemnly said, "That's natural. Ren Zong, Wu Dao, and the others all died in the collapsed Golden Heavenly Tomb."

He glanced at the five demons beside him, and they instantly understood his meaning.

Therefore, the six demons made another oath to the demon god.

"I, Niu Man, will never reveal to anyone the life or death of Ning Qi or the members of the Wuji Sword Sect within the Xuanzhen Secret Realm, nor any information about what I did."

"I am White Tiger..."

"..."

These demons are indeed not cunning, act uprightly, and are likable.

"Brother Ning, I will visit you all at the Wuji Sword Sect again when I have the chance," Niu Man said, clasping his hands in greeting.

Ning Qi replied, "I will also visit your Bull Demon Sect if I have the chance."

Then, the two teams went their separate ways.

Ning Qi led the way, with the others following behind. To be on the safe side, Ning Qi even formed a Formation to shield his aura and become invisible.

With his current cultivation level as a Realm Lord, even someone at the Void Dao Realm might not be able to see through it.

As a result, the two Ziyang True Person who had just sensed Ning Qi and the others' location instantly lost their senses, giving them a big fright.

"Oh no, the connection with them has been lost!"

True Person Ziyang's eyes clearly showed panic, but he remained calm.

He immediately took out the soul lamp and found that the two soul lamps that they hadn't extinguished were still shining.

The two of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"The person is alright; they probably went to some special area."

Jiang Ruhai looked at True Person Ziyang and asked, "Should we still look for them?"

True Person Ziyang hesitated for a moment, then suddenly shook his head.

"Forget it, that Ning kid has always been very opinionated. I believe he's aware of the current crisis."

Jiang Ruhai said, "But if we can't find them, wouldn't they be in even more danger?"

True Person Ziyang shook his head.

"When he saw other powerful figures enter, he should know that we had also entered the Profound Truth Secret Realm. However, he did not immediately rush to us, and we lost our mutual perception. So, he may have encountered a new situation, or he may have other ideas."

Jiang Ruhai suddenly smiled, "You really trust him."

True Person Ziyang also smiled and said:

"Given that he can still protect the True Disciple of our Wuji Sword Sect without a single loss of life, shouldn't we trust him?"

"Too!"

"Forget it, since that kid isn't contacting us now, let's go and see if we can manage to take down a few large tombs."

Ning Qi did indeed sense the arrival of True Person Ziyang and his companion.

However, for now, not meeting with the two is indeed a better option.

Originally, the powerful figures were already drawn to the great tomb within the Xuanzhen Secret Realm, and no one paid attention to these minor figures at the Primordial Spirit Realm. However, if they were to be with the elders at the Void Dao Realm, they would inevitably attract indirect attention.

Therefore, Ning Qi decided to lead everyone out of the Xuanzhen Secret Realm first.

As for the various colored lights rising from all over the Xuanzhen Secret Realm, they have already collected enough treasures on this trip. Competing with Void Dao Realm experts for the Great Tomb, he is naturally not afraid if he is in his true form, but it is not safe enough. It is better to let these powerful beings plunder him first, and then he can take the opportunity to break through to the Rule Realm.

Soon after, the nine people found another Exit leading to the outside world and walked out one by one.

Whoosh!

This time, the spatial traversal lacked the feeling of falling into an abyss that I experienced the first time, which must be because the Restriction the Xuanzhen Secret Realm had disappeared.

Ning Qi was in front, followed by the other eight.

Before long, the group finally found a sacred mountain.

"Fellow disciples, we have all gained a great deal from this trip. Now that the Xuanzhen Secret Realm is no longer of any concern to us, why don't we take this opportunity to digest and reflect on what we have gained?"

Everyone naturally shared the same thought.

Along the way, they not only learned a lot from Ning Qi, but also gained a lot from Ning Qi.

No one objected; some went into seclusion to study the material on their own, while others exchanged ideas and verified their findings with each other.

Ning Qi also dug a Cave on the mountain, sealed the door, and began to cultivate in seclusion.

This trip has been so fruitful, yielding so many Jade of Rules, and even the Water and Fire Dao Sword containing the Origin of Water and Fire Rules. It's time for my true form to step into the Rule Realm.

Moreover, once inside, he could easily contact Master Ziyang and True Person, and have them escort his fellow disciples back to the Wuji Sword Sect first.

As for himself, well, once he enters the Rule Realm, even those in the Integration Realm can be easily crushed.

At that time, he returned to the Mysterious Realm alone, where he could continue his harvest.

Let's settle the score with the powerful figures of the Northern Profound Sect first. Now that they've come out, they can forget about returning to the sect!
