Zhu Zhantai's eyes were filled with astonishment.
Her face trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it. She looked at Jiang Tian, her lips moved, and she couldn't help but say, "Jiang..."
However, as soon as she uttered a word, she met Jiang Tian's indifferent eyes.
There was no emotion, no anger, no murderous intent, no warning, nothing in those eyes.
But it was this blank indifference that sent a chill down Zhu Zhantai's spine, and all the words that came to his mouth were stuck in his throat.
Her Adam's apple rolled and she swallowed back the second half of the words.
That's all.
It was Song Baizhou who made the first move. He was the one who threw Storage Bag to Jiang Tian. He was the one who diverted the trouble to others. He was the one who wanted to use Jiang Tian as a scapegoat.
Song Baizhou died in the hands of Jiang Tian... not unjust.
Jiang Tian withdrew his gaze, walked to Song Baizhou's body, and under the gaze of Zhu Zhantai and Zhao Qingyun, sucked Storage Bag from Song Baizhou into his palm.
As for the one Song Baizhou threw to him? He had already seen it. It was an empty bag with nothing in it.
Song Baizhou had no intention of giving him anything from the beginning, that Storage Bag was just a piece of bait.
Jiang Tian put away Storage Bag with an expressionless face, and also looted the Storage Bag of the two magic cultivators that he split in half.
Crystal stones, spiritual stones, elixirs, and talismans were not left behind.
After doing all this, he straightened up and glanced at Zhu Zhantai and Zhao Qingyun.
"How many Fire Source Crystal do you two have in your hands now?"
Zhu Zhantai was stunned for a moment and answered truthfully, "Thirty-seven."
Zhao Qingyun followed closely. "Forty-one."
Jiang Tian nodded slightly, took out two piles of Fire Source Crystal from his Storage Bag, divided them into two parts, and flew towards the two of them respectively.
The crystals drew two orange-red arcs in the air and landed steadily in front of the two of them. There were dozens of crystals in each piece.
Zhu Zhantai lowered his head and glanced at Fire Source Crystal in front of him, then looked up at Jiang Tian with complicated eyes.
"After leaving the secret realm, what should I say..." Jiang Tian's voice was unhurried, "You don't need me to teach you, do you?"
"No, no, no!" Zhao Qingyun waved his hands quickly, shaking his head like a rattle.
Just kidding, his life was saved by Jiang Tian, what dare he say?
Not to mention asking him to shut up, even if he was asked to kneel down and kowtow three times, he would not hesitate.
Jiang Tian then looked at Zhu Zhantai.
Zhu Zhantai looked a little struggling, his lips moved, and a complicated light shone in his eyes.
She is a descendant of the Zhu Clan, a descendant of Zhu Tiangang, and a direct lineage of Descendants of the Six Monarchs. And Song Baizhou is her fellow sect, a disciple of Descendants of the Six Monarchs.
It was not only a moral embarrassment for her to watch her fellow disciples being killed and to cover up for the murderer, but also a torment from a standpoint.
But she also knew that if Jiang Tian hadn't arrived in time, she, Zhao Qingyun, and even Song Baizhou himself would have died in the hands of those three White Lotus Sect demon cultivators.
Song Baizhou's death was ultimately his own fault.
There was silence for a few breaths.
Zhu Zhantai took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and slowly opened them again.
"No need."
After Zhu Zhantai and Zhao Qingyun briefly recovered from their injuries, the three of them set off together to Teleportation Array, the center of the third-level secret realm.
Along the way, there was almost no communication between the three of them.
Zhu Zhantai walked at the front, never saying a word, looking straight ahead, showing no emotion.
Zhao Qingyun walked at the back, opened his mouth several times, as if he wanted to say something, but swallowed the words when they reached his lips.
He wanted to ask how Jiang Tian did it, and why he exploded with such terrifying combat power after his cultivation level broke through from Foundation Establishment Early Stage to the middle stage.
The scene of killing the Foundation Establishment Perfection demon cultivator with a few swords was still replayed repeatedly in his mind.
However, he did not dare to ask.
Those foxy eyes secretly glanced at Jiang Tian several times. Every time they met Jiang Tian's indifferent profile, the words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't squeeze out a single word.
Soon, the three of them arrived at Teleportation Array in the center.
I didn't meet anyone from other sects along the way, which saved me a lot of trouble.
Teleportation Array is a huge altar, made entirely of dark gray boulders, with wide steps and magnificent momentum.
The depression in the center of the altar is also printed with a pattern, which is incomprehensible to others and can only be seen by Jiang Tian.
"Is this...?" Jiang Tian's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes looked slightly strange for a moment.
"This [True Monarch Taixu Star-Dome] is really interesting," Zhao Qingyun looked closer with confusion, then stepped back and scratched his head, "I have never seen the monsters in the first level of the secret realm, and the same in the second level. The first level I can't understand the patterns on Teleportation Array, and I still can't understand the patterns on Teleportation Array in this secret realm. This True Lord has such a rich imagination and can create so many things that he has never seen before."
Jiang Tian on the side was silent, but he was murmuring in his heart, "How do you know that this [True Monarch Taixu Star-Dome] has never seen these things?"
He is now completely convinced.
The [True Monarch Taixu Star-Dome] from ten thousand years ago came from the same world as myself.
Jiang Tian frowned slightly, staring at the pattern and lost in thought.
This was not the first time he had seen this pattern.
The first layer is Doraemon.
This layer is Fire God from Kingdom of Locke.
One was more bizarre than the other, and each one made him feel more absurd than the other.
And... the timeline is getting closer.
Judging from the time when he traveled to this world, these works already existed before he traveled through it.
If the owner of the secret realm traveled through before him, then it would make sense for these things to appear in the secret realm.
This timeline doesn't add up.
Unless the master of the secret realm travels through time different from his, or...
Jiang Tian took a deep breath and suppressed the surging thoughts.
"It seems that this [True Monarch Taixu Star-Dome] still has a childlike innocence..."
The three people placed Fire Source Crystal on the altar.
The moment the crystal was placed, the magic circle on the altar suddenly lit up, and the orange-red light spread outward from the center of the altar like a tide, covering the entire table along the dense carvings.
A gentle and irresistible force enveloped the three of them, lifting them slowly off the ground.
The light is getting stronger and brighter.
"Whoops--!"
With a soft sound, the figures of the three people instantly rose into the sky, turned into three streams of light, and disappeared into the red sky.
When the three of them opened their eyes again, what they saw was a world covered with yellow sand.
The endless desert.
The ground is made of soft and loose yellow sand. When you step on it, your ankles sink directly into it, making a subtle "sand" sound.
The wind and sand kept roaring, carrying fine grains of sand and hitting the face.
Above the head is a scorching sun, scorching the earth, and heat waves rise from the ground, distorting the distant scenery into vague outlines.
Jiang Tian squinted his eyes and looked through the yellow sand in the sky, only to see a few figures standing not far away.
Not one or two, but dozens.
Heavenly Fire Sect, Beast Taming Sect, Azure Cloud Sect, White Lotus Sect, four groups of people each occupy one side and are clearly separated.
Jiang Tian saw Baili Dengfeng, who was in the same sect as Heavenly Fire Sect, at a glance. He was standing at the front of the Heavenly Fire Sect, his figure as tall as a pine tree.
The disciples of the Beast Taming Sect and Azure Cloud Sect were gathered on the other side. Chu Feng and Dongfang Chonglou were also among them, each leading their own disciples with calm auras.
The disciple of the White Lotus Sect occupied the other side alone, confronting Three Sects from afar.
When Jiang Tian glanced at the White Lotus Sect, his pupils instantly shrank into needles.
Two people.
There are two people with golden words above their heads.
And one of them has two golden entries!
It's that Soul Blade.
[Name: Soul Blade]
[Realm: Foundation Establishment Perfection]
[Entry: Heavenly Baleful Body (gold), Asura (gold)]
Jiang Tian's eyes were fixed on that figure.
He was outrageously tall, with shoulders wider than the two people put together. He stood like an unshakable mountain. There was a hideous scar on his face that ran diagonally from the left side of his forehead through his entire face and extended to the right side of his jaw, like a centipede lying on his face.
A pair of eyes are extremely long and slender, the ends of the eyes almost cleft to the temples.
There was a vertical scar between the eyebrows, as if someone had cut it down from the middle of the eyebrow with a sharp weapon.
There was a faint red light in the scar, which was bright and dark, as if something was beating slowly inside.
Jiang Tian looked solemn and muttered silently in his heart.
Extract.
Three golden entries and several red entries turned into countless tiny torrents at the same time, pouring silently into Jiang Tian's body like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea.
The moment the extraction is completed.
Soul Blade looked over.
Across the sky of yellow sand and a distance of tens of feet, the two people's eyes collided in the air.
Just a glance.
Jiang Tian A chill ran down his spine, and the hairs all over his body suddenly stood up, as if he was locked by an ancient ferocious beast.
My heart shrank suddenly, as if it was being pinched by a big invisible hand, and even beating became difficult.
What a strong sense of oppression!
The sense of oppression brought to him by this Soul Blade was much stronger than any opponent he had encountered before.
Now he Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, without relying on [All-Slashing], can crush the vast majority of Foundation Establishment Perfection.
But against this guy...
He had an intuition that if he did not rely on [All-Slashing], he would be unable to fight back against Soul Blade. Even escaping would be a luxury.
"Jiang Tian!"
At this time, a call came to my ears.
It was Baili Dengfeng calling him.
"Come here."
Baili Dengfeng waved.
Jiang Tian retracted his gaze from Soul Blade and walked over with Zhu Zhantai and Zhao Qingyun.
After walking to Baili Dengfeng, Jiang Tian glanced at the back of his hand, then looked at the back of the hands of several fellow disciples, and frowned slightly.
"There's no map on the back of your hand? What are the rules of this secret realm?"
"I don't know." Baili Dengfeng shook his head, "There is no sound prompt on this level, no one knows what the rules are."
Having said this, he paused. "However, there is a very clear rule. In this secret realm, fighting is prohibited."
"Fighting is prohibited?" Jiang Tian was slightly startled, and subconsciously sensed Spiritual Qi in his dantian.
Everything is normal. Spiritual Qi flows smoothly without any suppression.
"Yes." Baili Dengfeng raised his palm and held it empty. A red vortex slowly formed in his palm. The red light was particularly eye-catching against the yellow sand.
But as soon as the vortex appeared, it lasted for only half a breath, and instantly dissipated as if the wind was blowing, turning into little bits of spiritual light and dissipating in the air.
Jiang Tian's eyes moved.
Since Baili Dengfeng has said this, spell designation cannot be used.
He then tried to summon ten Sword Pellet from his Dantian.
Sword Pellet was just about to fly out of his dantian when he seemed to have hit an invisible barrier and was pushed back by an irresistible force.
I tried it three times in a row, but it bounced back three times. Sword Pellet in my dantian trembled uneasily.
"The magic weapon can't be used?" Jiang Tian frowned slightly.
He felt his physical body and found that his physique was still there, as was his strength, speed, and reflexes.
But in this dangerous secret realm, if you can't use spells or magic weapons, what's the difference between you and a lamb waiting to be slaughtered?
Zhao Qingyun looked horrified, his foxy eyes widened. "No... then what should we do? Just wait here?"
"Wait." Jiang Tian said in a serious voice, "The rules of this secret realm are ever-changing. Maybe you will know what the rules are in a while."
After saying this, Jiang Tian's eyes quickly swept across the crowd.
Although the disciples of Three Sects are roughly gathered together, the divisions between camps are still obvious. The Heavenly Fire Sect group, the Beast Taming Sect group, and the Azure Cloud Sect group each occupy an area and maintain a subtle distance between them.
Heavenly Fire Sect currently has eight people.
Beast Taming Sect has ten people.
Azure Cloud Sect has twelve people.
Thirty people in total.
And opposite White Lotus Sect, there are fifteen people!
Jiang Tian silently settled the score in his heart. There were six White Lotus Sect demon cultivators in his hands.
In other words, White Lotus Sect so far, only four demon cultivators have died or been eliminated, and their combat power is still intact.
This secret realm brings everyone together.
If it weren't for the "no fighting" rule, the two factions would have been killed long ago.
About a quarter of an hour passed.
Several more figures appeared in the open area between the two groups of people.
There are three in total, - one disciple Azure Cloud Sect, one disciple Beast Taming Sect, and one disciple White Lotus Sect.
The three people appeared almost in front and back. Each one was in ragged clothes and had unsteady breathing. It was obvious that they had suffered a lot in the previous floors.
The moment when the last Azure Cloud Sect disciple stepped into this secret realm.
"Buzz--"
A familiar voice sounded.
It was as grand as a bell, carrying a majestic tone, as if it were falling from the nine heavens, exploding in everyone's ears at the same time.
"If you persist for more than an hour, you can go to the next secret realm."
"The longer you persist, the more generous rewards you will receive."
Thanks to [Ding Shanxing who is gifted and well-organized, yuppie, eternal life, only I am zun] for sending me power for love! Thank you!
Thank you [Eternal Life] for the like! Thank you, thank you!
Thank you all for your support... Alas! I will try my best to write this story well. I wrote a chapter today and started over again.
I'm really sorry for making everyone wait until now!
