Sword Aura Imprint
It was past noon, and the golden sun shone down, casting an even more golden-red glow on the valley that had been bathed in flames.
Beyond the valley lies a large lake, no smaller than Jade Dragon Lake.
The lake reflected the golden and red hues of the mountains, and ripples constantly rolled across its surface, as if many spirit fish were swimming by.
The entire valley is now occupied by cultivators from the Taiyi Sect.
At the mouth of the valley, an Array was raised, and the Ye Family group disembarked from the Spirit Boat and walked into the valley.
Upon entering the valley, one can feel the Spiritual Qi of the third-tier Spirit Vein slowly surging out from the spiritual lake.
The overwhelming sense of richness made many Lineage cultivators' eyes burn with desire, yet their faces showed regret.
The Spirit Veins in this valley are at least of the strength of a high-grade third-tier Spirit Vein, and the treasures inside are definitely the most abundant.
However, this place was occupied by sect cultivators early in the morning, and even the four major Golden Core Lineage were unable to get a share of it.
"Is Grandpa alright?" At the entrance of the valley, all the cultivators began to gather here, and even the Ye Family members who mined the Fire-Pattern Sinking Iron were slowly arriving.
Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but ask Ye Xingliu.
Ye Haicheng was meditating nearby, seemingly quite injured.
"My uncle said it's nothing serious, I just need to meditate for a while," Ye Xingliu said telepathically.
After saying that, he immediately added:
"In the secret realm, there's no need to hold back!"
This time, Ye Xingliu was truly angry.
The other party actually slandered me and even dared to inflict injury.
He was also puzzled at the time, wondering why Kong Guangyun had rushed up.
Now it seems it was all just to leave room for gossip.
This serves as a prelude to Ancient Fragrance True Person's intervention.
"Understood." Ye Jingcheng nodded. Hearing that Ye Haicheng was alright, he breathed a sigh of relief, after all, it was he who had taken in the Golden Light Rhinoceros cub.
If he hadn't accepted it, Ye Haicheng wouldn't have gotten into trouble.
He didn't have much affection for the Kong Family either. After cooperating with the Jin Family, he realized that it was the Xu Family and Kong Families who caused trouble when the Ye Family first entered Taichang Market, preventing them from buying the spirit medicine.
Therefore, if circumstances permit, he wouldn't mind taking action within the secret realm.
Within the secret realm, since Golden Core cultivators cannot enter, there is no way to go back in time. Moreover, even if one leaves the secret realm, they will not be Spirit-Inquiring Talisman- inquiring talisman; this is the rule.
Of course, checking the Storage Bags is an essential step.
"It's coming out!" Ye Xingliu said at that moment.
Suddenly, it appeared as if a setting sun was reflected in the vast lake before them.
Several Golden True Person landed in different directions around the Spirit Lake, continuously casting spiritual spells.
The next moment, the lake surface rolled back, revealing a hollow whirlpool.
The vortex was located right where the sunset had just appeared.
Ye Jingcheng didn't understand Array, but seeing this scene, he knew that this was the entrance to that small secret realm.
Like Spirit Veins, secret realms are generally located on mountain peaks, in valleys, lakes, or deep abysses.
This kind of environment creates a difference in Spiritual Qi, and over time, it will give rise to a secret realm.
Of course, Ye Jingcheng didn't know much about the specifics either.
At this moment, among the Kong Family cultivators, Kong Chenmu and Kong Chenyun were also looking at the entrance to the secret realm.
They had received information that this secret realm belonged to the Zhenhuang branch of the Eight Desolations Sect Zhenhuang.
It contains spirit medicine of immortality, and even medicines for Gold Condensation Pills, which are of utmost importance to the Kong Family.
After all, the Kong Family is currently enjoying immense influence, being one of the few Golden Elixir Lineage within the Yan Kingdom.
However, the patriarch of the Kong Family was False Core Cultivator who had cultivated using a demon core, and he was unable to break through to the Golden Core Early Stage throughout his life.
If the Kong Family can produce a new Golden Core cultivator, they will be able to stand out from the Lineage.
"How is the marking going? This was personally instructed by the Ancestor," Kong Chenmu asked Kong Chenyun.
"It's foolproof. This was made using the Sword Qi from the sword that Guangyun ate. We can track Ye Xingliu, and even if they have Spirit Beasts, they won't be able to detect us." Kong Chenyun nodded.
"The Wan Family has also been dealt with."
"That's good. The Ye Family may have received the inheritance of the Beast Wasteland, which is very important. However, we must be careful of the sects." Kong Chenmu nodded, but there was still some worry in his eyes.
Although they were tracking the Ye Family, the key point is that this disturbance was actually authorized by the Taiyi Sect, as if they were investigating the Ye Family's secrets.
Within the secret realm, he wasn't afraid of what the Ye Family might do; his only fear was that the sect might also have arranged for cultivators to follow the Ye Family.
If a conflict breaks out, it's uncertain who will ultimately benefit.
Inside the sect's Treasure Ark, the red-faced old man and the Old Daoist Tianfu were still sitting in their room, along with the Three Origins True Person.
"It seems we won't be able to find out anything from the Ye Family; perhaps they truly have no secrets," the red-faced old man sighed.
After three attempts to test the Ye Family, they were treated the same as any other ordinary Purple Mansion Lineage.
He had no choice but to distance himself from the Ye Family.
After all, if the Ye Family truly had something to hide, Ye Haicheng would never have been in a life-or-death situation without the Ye Family reacting.
After all, that was the Ye Family's highest visible combat strength. If they were to fall, they would fall back to the Foundation Establishment Lineage.
If there had been collusion, the number of Spirit Beasts and clansmen who died in the Ye Family would not have been so high.
"At present, we should pay attention to the Wan Family, as well as the Zhong Family and the Zhao Family..." the red-faced old man continued.
"That's true, but we shouldn't use this method again next time," Tianfu True Person replied.
Upon hearing this, the red-faced old man hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Such blatant probing is bad for the reputation of the Taiyi Sect. Currently, the Taiyi Sect's situation within the Yan Kingdom is not good.
In particular, the Nascent Soul True Lord of the Taiyi Sect has not shown his face for nearly a hundred years.
This has stirred the interest of many cultivators. The Green River Sect has already infiltrated the Taiyi Sect, not to mention the Cultivation Worlds of other countries.
This is why they are in such a hurry.
The whirlpool in the lake grew larger and larger, and finally, at its very center, a void tunnel appeared.
It was incredibly deep inside, and you couldn't see anything inside at all.
Even if one's Divine Sense enters, it will vanish instantly, as if swallowed by space, without receiving any feedback.
Xuandao True Person held several demonic insects and sprinkled them into the vortex.
After a few breaths, Xuandao True Person took out another compass.
When a spiritual light appears in the compass, it will form a spiritual screen, as if a projected image is about to appear.
However, the projection quickly disappeared completely.
Xuandao True Person looked somewhat disappointed, but the disappointment quickly faded.
Most secret realms do not allow for the projection of spiritual energy.
He was just trying it out, and after he finished, he solemnly spoke again:
"The secret realm is now stable and will be open in January. No matter how much you explore this month, the sect will take 40% of the profits. In addition, the sect will have absolute priority in exchanging for core spirit medicine. After one month, everyone should go to the weak point in the secret realm and wait for teleportation. This will take one day; otherwise, you will not be able to wait."
As Xuandao True Person spoke, the Taiyi Sect began distributing jade talismans one by one.
Three members of the Ye Family were admitted, and each was given a jade talisman.
These jade symbols are about the size of a palm, with a landscape painting on the front and only the character Tai on the back.
