Third Senior Sister
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.
When the first fragment appeared, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou originally intended to accept it. After all, it was Spirit Transformation level secret realm, and there might be some good things that even a Spirit Transformation cultivator wouldn't recognize, so they left it in the secret realm.
The fragments were difficult to collect. The White Snake Clan had been collecting bones for many years without finding the other two fragments. Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were prepared to stay in the Demon Realm for another year or two and collect them slowly.
A year and a half later, when they were both at the Nascent Soul Realm, it was perfectly reasonable for them to break into the Spirit Transformation level secret realm.
To their surprise, the fragments were all put back together in less than a minute.
"White Bone, Golden Pavilion, so the other two fragments were in your hands!" The old lion roared in fury, his eyes snapping open, his gaze blazing, his fur trembling.
"Old Lion, you have the nerve to say that! You've hidden this fragment very well!" Jin Xuan, the deacon of the Qiongqi clan, was equally furious.
He had been searching for the other two fragments for over a hundred years, traveling to every corner of the demon realm, almost running himself ragged, only to find the fragments right at his doorstep.
Even through the projection of his Divine Sense, Lu Yang could sense the murderous intent of the three.
Collecting all three fragments can unlock Spirit Transformation level secret realm. This is more valuable than any clone, illegitimate child, or genius descendant. It absolutely cannot be handed over!
The three fragments sensed each other's presence, trembled violently, and shot out, converging at Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou at an extremely fast speed.
"Not good!" The three Demon Race elders were shocked. They hadn't expected the fragment to be so extraordinary, breaking free from their control and flying towards Lu Yang!
How could I possibly give up such a golden opportunity? There's no such thing as a free lunch in the Demon fortuitous opportunity!
"Don't panic. Even if they get the key, it's useless if they don't know the location of the secret realm!" White Bone sneered. What use is a key if you don't know the location of the door?
Even he didn't know the location of the secret realm.
"The most important thing right now is to intercept these two and snatch the key back!" All three of them are powerful demons in the Nascent Soul Late Stage; they refuse to believe they can't defeat these two Nascent Soul Realm guys!
"That makes sense," the other two demons chimed in, admitting they had been too anxious to think clearly.
The three fragments collided above Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou's heads, forming a white jade plate. A white light suddenly appeared beneath their feet, corresponding to the patterns on the white jade plate!
Boom--
The ground cracked and a constant rumbling sound rang out, so the two quickly jumped to the side.
"The secret realm is right beneath their feet!" White Bone's eyes widened in rage, almost bleeding from them.
"Quickly call upon any Spirit Transformation stage cultivators you know; the three of us alone can't stop these two!"
The skeleton shouted, "Three against two is easy to win, but it's hard to catch those two."
He originally thought he had plenty of time and could catch it eventually if he tried a few more times. But now that the secret realm was right under his nose, he didn't have time to try a few more times. He should quickly ask Spirit Transformation cultivator to take action. If the Spirit Transformation cultivator gets the meat, they can at least get some soup.
The three old demons acted decisively, dispersing their Divine Sense to leave a trace, and went to invite an acquaintance at the Spirit Transformation stage.
It's easier for Bai Gu and Jin Xuan, as their backers in the clan are at the Spirit Transformation stage, while the Old Lion needs to invite demons from other places.
"Is this the key to unlocking the secret realm?" Lu Yang pointed to the white jade plate floating above his head, his expression strange.
"Judging from their performance, yes." Meng Jingzhou's expression was equally interesting.
In an instant, the surrounding area within eight hundred miles was in turmoil. It was unclear who had leaked the news, or if some Spirit Transformation cultivator was worried that they couldn't compete with the other two, so they called on their friends and invited demons to help them. The opening of the secret realm attracted countless Spirit Transformation cultivators.
Faced with the secret realms left behind by their peers, many Spirit Transformation cultivators began to covet them.
Perhaps there are treasures inside that can help them improve their cultivation level; Cultivation Method left behind at the same level are also very valuable.
Swish--swish--swish--
One after another, mysterious and unpredictable figures, radiating terrifying aura, appeared. They were all of different forms and were all Demon Race in the Spirit Transformation stage!
Lu Yang and his companion swallowed hard. If it were just one or two Spirit Transformation stage cultivators, they wouldn't be in mortal danger; if they couldn't win, they could always run away.
If a whole bunch of Spirit Transformation stage cultivators come, then even the most talented Golden Core stage cultivators are useless.
"The white jade plate is in the hands of these two juniors?" A Spirit Transformation in the late Nascent Soul stage bared its fangs and coldly stared at Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.
"In response to your question, senior, it is indeed the two of them!" Jin Xuan bowed his head and knelt on the ground as he spoke.
A giant white serpent coiled in the sky, with two bulges on its horns, showing signs of transforming into a dragon!
He was Spirit Transformation from the White Snake Clan, summoned by the White Bone Demon.
In High Antiquity, there were celestial wolves that could devour the moon, and giant apes that could carry mountains...
The appearance of Spirit Transformation stage cultivators terrified the three demons, Bai Gu, Jin Xuan, and the Old Lion. Any one of them could easily sweep them all away and forcibly seize their territories. They didn't dare utter a single word.
This is the power difference of a whole level!
Jin Xuan is the strongest of the three demons, possessing the strength of a half-step Spirit Transformation cultivator. Yet, even he can only keep his head down and behave himself here, daring not to make any overly conspicuous moves.
The Golden Core Ancestors and Foundation Establishment Demons who had fallen into a coma awoke one after another. Seeing the Nascent Soul Spirit Transformation in the sky, they wished they could stay unconscious.
The Spirit Transformation stage cultivators are rarely seen, sometimes only once every few decades. How long have they been unconscious? What happened? How did so many Spirit Transformation stage cultivators appear?
Was this opportunity earned at the cost of their lifespan?
"This is a bit tricky. If I had known it would be like this, I would have just carried Old Ma over." Meng Jingzhou clicked his tongue. "How about you try a set of Senior Sister's imitation boxing?"
He was originally showing off in front of the Golden Core Demon Race, but how did he end up gathering so many Spirit Transformation stage cultivators?
This script is wrong; what about the transition to the Nascent Soul Realm?
Let them at least kill a few Nascent Soul Realm, and then use the Nascent Soul Realm Spirit Transformation cultivators to lure out the Deity Transformation cultivators—that would be something.
Lu Yang looked troubled. "We haven't even seen Third Senior Sister yet, wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to summon Eldest Senior Sister now?"
They came to help Third Senior Sister with archaeology, not to sweep through the demon realm.
Just as Lu Yang and his companion didn't take this Spirit Transformation cultivators seriously, the Spirit Transformation cultivators didn't take Lu Yang and his companions seriously either.
They're just two talented Golden Core cultivators, not worth mentioning.
"Kill these two juniors first, then we'll figure out how to explore the secret realm."
"Good."
The Spirit Transformation stage cultivators quickly reached a consensus, their auras surging and their murderous intent running rampant.
Lu Yang sighed. There was nothing he could do then; he had no choice but to force his senior sister to come over.
Thump--
Suddenly, melodious piano music filled the sky, its tinkling sounds like a stream hitting stones, bringing a sense of peace and calming a restless heart.
Did I give you permission to kill?
As the music ended, a graceful figure in green appeared before Lu Yang, shielding him from all killing intent.
A beautiful woman in green robes held a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument), her posture languid and her appearance stunning. Her eyes were covered with a black cloth, adding to her mystique.
It's her!
"Damn it, how could it be her!"
"Isn't she being hunted down by various races? How dare she show her face?!"
The Spirit Transformation stage cultivators' pupils constricted, and they were in a state of agitation. Their gazes toward the beautiful woman in green were filled with panic and disbelief, and an atmosphere of fear spread among them.
This is a formidable opponent that even those in the Body Integration Realm can't handle; they're simply not someone their mere Nascent Spirit Transformation can provoke!
"Run!"
The Spirit Transformation stage cultivators did not hesitate and immediately fled.
Clang!
The strings were plucked, the space trembled, and everyone was frozen in the air, unable to move even a finger. Undisguised terror was evident in their eyes.
Did I let you get away?
"Third Senior Sister?" Lu Yang asked tentatively, a hint of surprise in his voice.
He had seen the portrait of his third senior sister.
It's me.
"Senior sister, what brings you here? We were just looking for you!"
This is still several hundred miles away from the location given by my third senior sister.
The third senior sister's tone was tinged with helplessness.
"My senior sister sent me a message saying that you two might not come to me obediently. If anything big happens in the next few days, it might be the work of you two. She wants me to go and meet you two to prevent any accidents."
"How did you two manage to attract so many Spirit Transformation stage cultivators?"
Lu Yang said cautiously, "... Would you believe me if I said it was all a coincidence?"
"Letter."
"You believe it?"
Lu Yang was overjoyed, never expecting that his third senior sister, whom he had never met, would trust him so much.
"Yes, that's what I always told my senior sister when I got into trouble in the Demon Realm."
