No Road? Then We'll Make One

Within the Meteor Secret Realm.

Chu Wujiu walked in front and suddenly threw a punch from a distance.

As the fist passed, a muffled thud came from behind the Rock Wall not far away, and a lurking Demon Beast turned into a blood mist.

The Immortal Burial Coffin behind Ye Lingchuan opened a crack, and several pale golden tentacles emerged, drawing out all the remaining essence of flesh and blood.

The Immortal Physique inside had already exploded, and although new Remnant Dao Yuan Corpse have been added to the coffin, a suitable replacement has not yet been chosen.

Those weren't actually tentacles either.

Rather, it is a manifestation of energy, with a pale golden color, vaguely showing signs of turning into blackish-purple.

"To be honest, this absorption is way too slow." Chu Wujiu raised an eyebrow at Ye Lingchuan. "Don't you have any large-scale techniques? Or—" He glanced at Qin Wangchuan behind him, "... would you like him to develop a few for you?"

It was meant well, but Ye Lingchuan slowly shook his head. "Slower is fine too."

This statement is meaningful and clearly has a story behind it.

"So that's what you're afraid of, isn't it?" Zhao Lingyun suddenly spoke, his sharp gaze fixed on Ye Lingchuan. "Rumor has it that the Ye Clan's Immortal Burial Coffin is an evil artifact. Not only can the Pseudo-Immortal Body it cultivates be uncontrollable, but it can even devour the one who controls it."

He paused, then asked directly, "Is this rumor true?"

"It's true," Ye Lingchuan replied softly, his fingertips unconsciously tracing the patterns on the ancient coffin behind him.

"The previous generation of coffin bearers were swallowed up by it."

"Maybe the next one... will be me." He said this without fear, but rather with a sense of calm, as if he had been prepared for it all along.

"What are you thinking about!" Chu Wujiu stopped and turned around. After Ye Lingchuan approached, he slapped him hard on the shoulder. "Are you, Ye Lingchuan, afraid of being eaten by a coffin?"

Yun Zexuan interjected at the opportune moment. "Alright. We're here to relax, so let's not talk about those trivial things."

After saying that, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look at Qin Wangchuan beside him, and was about to speak.

Yu Guang glanced subconsciously at the figures following behind him, a barely perceptible hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes.

Suppressing his disgust, he turned his gaze back to Qin Wangchuan:

"Speaking of which, although we are related by marriage, this is the first time we've gone on an adventure together."

Qin Wangchuan nodded. "It is indeed a novel experience."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly pointed his fingers like a sword and casually swung them.

"Laugh--"

A faint cracking sound came from the air, and several invisible threads of Divine Sense snapped in response.

"!!"

Behind him, Elder Xu, who was standing next to Xie Qingshang, suddenly groaned, covered his forehead, and staggered backward.

He was horrified—he had intended to secretly use his Divine Sense Silk to probe these people, but he hadn't expected to be seen through so quickly!

Xie Qingshang naturally understood what had happened, and his expression changed drastically.

"Presumptuous!"

She slapped the old man hard across the face, yelling, "Who gave you permission to strike without my permission?!"

Elder Xu dared not refute, and hurriedly confessed, "This old servant knows his mistake..."

Xie Qingshang felt a surge of anger rising within him.

Although Elder Xu's investigation was for his own safety, these people were clearly not simple; they dared to probe without permission. What if they angered them...?

She suppressed her anger and turned around, about to apologize, when she met Qin Wangchuan's gaze.

With just one glance, Xie Qingshang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"There will be no second time."

The four words, "calm," fell.

There was no anger in those Golden Eyes; they were simply stating a given fact.

If there's a next time, I'll kill you.

That look froze all of Xie Qingshang's prepared words on his lips. Now, anything he said would be superfluous; only obedience remained.

She bowed decisively, her voice soft and clear:

"Yes."

It's not 'good', it's 'is'.

Watching those figures gradually disappear into the distance, Xie Qingshang's long eyelashes trembled slightly. Although she maintained the composure and elegance of the Aristocratic Clan noble lady on her face, her heart was already churning with turbulent emotions.

' The Divine Sense Silk is a highly advanced technique, not to mention Elder Xu's high level of cultivation, making it extremely difficult to detect.'

But not only did he notice it, he also casually cut it in half...

She was usually pampered and fawned over, but this was the first time in her life she had ever been so cautious.

Thinking of this, Xie Qingshang subconsciously compared Qin Wangchuan with the people who usually surrounded him—and found that whether they were Saint Son of immortal sects or Successor of the Aristocratic Clan, they all paled in comparison to this man.

There is absolutely no comparison.

Unlike before, she was the weaker party in terms of both presence and appearance.

Chu Wujiu had witnessed the entire conflict. He whistled lightly and sighed as if talking to himself, "The Divine Eye is truly convenient."

Then the group came to a fork in the road, where three dark passages extended in different directions.

Chu Wujiu glanced at Qin Wangchuan with interest. "So, which way will our Great Divine Son go?"

Xie Qingshang had been silently following, subtly shifted her gaze—this was the moment she had been waiting for.

Before coming, she had already studied the ancient books of the Secret Realm and knew that the path on the left was the shortcut to the Core Area.

Her red lips parted slightly, about to speak—

"To the left."

Qin Wangchuan's calm voice rang out before she could speak.

The message from the Great Dao was clearly reflected in those Golden Eyes.

Without hesitation, Chu Wujiu and the others immediately turned and walked to the left without the slightest hesitation.

Xie Qingshang bit her lower lip lightly, her raised hand slowly falling, her fingertips curling gently inside her sleeve.

Turning left... is indeed the correct direction to the Core Region.

But this must be a coincidence—these people had clearly never been to this Secret Realm before, so how could they know the correct path? They must have just stumbled upon it by accident.

No problem, the Secret Realm is still long, and there will always be a time for her to show her value.

However, what followed was even more unbelievable to Xie Qingshang.

Whenever they encountered a fork in the road, Qin Wangchuan could always point out the direction without hesitation: "Go forward," "Turn right," "The third cave entrance."

Chu Wujiu and the others didn't question him at all, as if what he said was the truth.

They came to an Ancient Palace —with two paths forking in front of them, and most of the High Antiquity the walls had weathered away.

This time, Qin Wangchuan said, "Towards the middle."

Xie Qingshang's eyes suddenly lit up—the opportunity had arrived!

The Xie Family had specifically deciphered the runes on this fork in the road, and she clearly remembered that the correct answer here was to go right.

The idea of "moving towards the middle" is utter nonsense!

She was about to step forward to correct him when she saw Chu Wujiu lazily swing his arm and stand up:

"Alright, since the Divine Son has spoken," he turned and glanced at the crowd, "Who's next?"
