Corpse Mountain within the Ancient Battlefield!

The round Ice Crystal continuously emitted energy that nourished his body and aided his cultivation.

At this moment, his cultivation speed was 20% faster than before.

In addition, he gained a preliminary understanding of the Principle of Ice Attribute.

He even grasped a rudimentary understanding of spatial power.

This step can only be accomplished by Nascent Soul True Lord.

And he had actually already reached the Golden Core stage.

These Ice Crystal are absolutely rare treasures.

When my younger brother returns, I'll definitely show him what it is.

Five days later.

A powerful aura suddenly erupted from Zhang Xuanming's body, who was sitting cross-legged within the barrier.

Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, Successful!

He clenched his fist, feeling the surging spiritual energy within him, his eyes filled with excitement.

Looking at Zhang Xuanbing walking slowly towards him from not far away, he smiled and said:

"Haha, Third Brother, I've broken through!"

"Thanks to my Third Brother's timely arrival, otherwise my life would have been..."

"No need for thanks from family." Zhang Xuanbing waved his hand. "Xuanming, now that you have broken through..."

Let's go then.

"The Three Sects of the Ninglu Sect have made it clear that they intend to kill all the members of my Zhang Family who have entered the Secret Realm."

We are not afraid of fighting alone, but if the Three Sects join forces, the rest of our clan will probably not be able to withstand it.

We must do something.

At this point, a cold glint flashed in Zhang Xuanbing's eyes.

Including Zhang Xuanming, he has already saved three Zhang Family Disciples.

He saved these, but what about the ones he couldn't save?

Upon hearing Zhang Xuanbing's words, Zhang Xuanming replied:

"Third Brother, this will affect your exploration of the Secret Realm."

Don't fall into any misconceptions.

The three major forces have the most people, but the Secret Realm is so vast that it's difficult for them to gather together.

Moreover, the Secret Realm fortuitous opportunity offers numerous opportunities, and they will surely seek their own Immortal Opportunity.

It's impossible that hunting down Zhang Family Disciple would be their primary objective.

Moreover, each of my Zhang Family Disciple has quite a few trump cards up their sleeves.

Even if you can't win, escaping is a piece of cake.

Third Brother, you don't need to worry too much.

Your primary task should be to use your strength to explore the Secret Realm and collect heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

His words were clearly meant to persuade.

It's not that he's heartless, it's just that there's no need for it at all.

The reason so many people were pursuing him was simply because he was unlucky.

Otherwise, how could they possibly encounter so many enemies at once?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanbing looked at Zhang Xuanming and said with a teasing expression:

Oh? Really?

Who was shouting for help just now?

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Zhang Xuanming's face as he scratched his head. "Hehe, Third Brother, this time we really had bad luck."

"Alright, come with me."

What you said makes a good point, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

The search for their people did not preclude the search for spirits or the killing of others.

"Take out the Sound Transmission Talisman. If any clansmen nearby use it, we'll receive the message immediately."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xuanbing lifted Zhang Xuanming and rushed into the void.

Zhang Xuanming's words do make some sense, but if nothing is done...

He felt uneasy.

Moreover, he had already obtained the mysterious Ice Crystal, so his trip had not been in vain.

Compared to the heavenly materials and earthly treasures within the Secret Realm, the safety of our people is of utmost importance.

Meanwhile, in a frozen battlefield...

A man and a woman walked on the snow.

It makes a creaking sound.

One of the women, dressed in a purple dress, had a hint of pink light in her eyes.

After surveying the surroundings, he spoke:

"Second Senior Brother, it seems this is the core area of the ancient battlefield."

Aside from the surrounding icy aura, there was nothing of value.

It's not as good as what Master gave me."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zijing said helplessly:

"Nothing good?"

The Eighth Stage mid-level measuring Heaven-Measuring Ruler and the seventh-grade Secret Method you obtained aren't good stuff, are they?

Where in the world can such a treasure be found?

As he spoke, a layer of golden light surged out from beside Bai Zijing, protecting him and Yan Ruyu within it.

It is protected from the erosion of the surrounding ice.

Upon hearing Bai Zijing's words, Yan Ruyu covered her mouth and laughed:

"Just telling the truth."

After all, our master explicitly stated that the Cultivation Method he passed down to us would allow us to directly reach the Ninth Realm Emperor Sovereign.

As she finished speaking, Yan Ruyu's smile gradually faded.

They had now ventured deep into the ancient battlefield.

The icy mist that had previously blocked their view had completely disappeared, and they could no longer sense any Spiritual Qi in this place.

Only a dense aura of icy energy swirled around.

There is a mountain a hundred meters ahead.

A Corpse Mountain, ten thousand meters high and frozen in ice!

The icy aura emanated from this Corpse Mountain.

"This..."

Yan Ruyu was stunned by the scene before her.

Within the iceberg dwells a strange race clad in scales and with ferocious appearances, as well as the remains of Human Race corpses.

Countless years have passed, yet their bodies have not Decay.

Instead, it was frozen solid, displayed before them like a work of art.

They could clearly feel the oppressive aura emanating from these frozen corpses.

"What terrifying pressure!"

If even a corpse exudes such immense pressure, what kind of powerful being must they have been in life?

These people are probably the Void Refinement and Body Integration Realm experts that Master described, right?

Yan Ruyu said with a sigh.

Then, as if remembering something, he turned to look at Bai Zijing:

"Second Senior Brother, could the future disaster Master spoke of be these alien races right before our eyes?"

Even those from the Spirit Realm are no match for them.

Then we...

"No need to worry." Compared to Yan Ruyu, Bai Zijing was much calmer.

He took a deep breath.

He said, "Fifth Junior Sister, this Non-Self should be thinking about right now."

This is not something we can solve at this time.

All we can do now is follow Master's instructions and cultivate diligently; that will surely be the right thing to do.

As he spoke, he withdrew his gaze and turned around, "My master said that my opportunity to break through to the next realm does not lie in the South Sea."

Once Brother Chen returns to his clan, I will return to the Central Land Immortal Continent.

Breakthrough to Nascent Soul.

Let's go. We've had a very fruitful trip to the Secret Realm; I doubt there's anything good left Secret Realm.

"According to Master's calculations, there are still two months left before we leave the Secret Realm."

Let's find a place to rest.

"Good."

Yan Ruyu composed herself and responded.

He then left the place with Bai Zijing.

Just as they were leaving, within the Corpse Mountain, an Evil Demon that was reduced to a head moved its eyes slightly.

He stared intently at Bai Zijing and Yan Ruyu's retreating figures.

Meanwhile, Zhang Xuanbing, along with Zhang Xuanming, searched the Secret Realm for traces of the Zhang Family Disciple.

The facts are just as Zhang Xuanming said.

As long as you're not too unlucky and you're vigilant enough.

With sufficient trump cards to protect them, the Zhang Family Disciple are not in mortal danger.

This also eased Zhang Xuanbing's tense mood a little.

However, all the cultivators from the Ninglu Sect, Cloud Mountain Sword Sect, and Yunmeng Jiang Family that they encountered along the way died tragically under Zhang Xuanbing's sword.

Not a single one was left.

Apart from the Rogue Cultivator, all those who entered the Secret Realm this time were various young people.

In other words, it's about the future of the sect.

Killing these people here would definitely cripple the three major forces.

For at least the next 30 to 50 years, there is absolutely no possibility of progress for Three Sects!

Half a month later, Zhang Xuanbing was about to leave after killing a Foundation Establishment stage elder of the Ninglu Sect Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

A familiar yet unfamiliar woman's surprised voice suddenly rang in my ears:

You are not at the Foundation Establishment Peak!

You're a Golden Core cultivator?!
