Entering the Secret Realm

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

All those who entered the secret realm were instructed by the Azure Cloud Sect to gather at the Azure Cloud Sect's mountain gate and wait to enter.

At the mountain gate, Zhang Yang, Situ Mingyue, Jiang Zhiqiu, and Chunxiao, along with a large group of Foundation Establishment Disciple who had successfully Sea Opening stages, were already waiting. As for the Foundation Establishment disciples who had not succeeded in Sea Opening Foundation Establishment Disciple, they had come to watch the spectacle with envious eyes.

Seeing that so many people from the Azure Cloud Sect had indeed entered, some people felt relieved, believing that the Azure Cloud Sect would definitely not harm their disciples and that their disciples would be safe. Others, however, looked at Zhang Yang and the others with strange expressions, while still others watched the group of Foundation Establishment Disciple from the Azure Cloud Sect exchanging instructions via Divine Sense.

Looking at the arriving group, Zhang Yang said in a low voice, "Master, since you are so familiar with the secret realm, I have a favor to ask of you. Keep a close eye on everyone who enters the secret realm. See who is contacting our disciples, and also observe how people from other sects behave after entering the secret realm."

Although he couldn't see Azure Cloud Master, he knew that Azure Cloud Master could hear him.

This was based on his ten years of experience in the Azure Cloud Sect. Within the Azure Cloud Sect's territory, Azure Cloud Master could practically be described as "omnipresent."

"Ideally, we should record all the footage. We can keep these for ourselves and not show them to anyone else," Zhang Yang emphasized in conclusion.

"You just go inside and cultivate properly!" Azure Cloud Master replied irritably.

This secret realm was created from a painting; all actions are preserved within the painting, which he can view at any time.

Of course, it was precisely because it was a painting that he was confident in ensuring everyone's safety.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Biling Zi said, "Everyone, get ready!"

She activated the array she had set up, transferring everyone who had come to participate in the secret realm to the secret realm in the back mountain.

When everyone enters the secret realm, they are all randomly assigned to different locations within it.

Zhang Yang sensed a spatial shift and landed beside a huge lake.

He was still observing when suddenly, a red shadow rushed towards him from the lake.

Zhang Yang threw out the Heavenly Net and circled towards the red figure.

However, the Heavenly Net had barely appeared when the red shadow turned and disappeared into the water.

"It looks like a fish!" Zhang Yang exclaimed in surprise.

In his perception, the power of that red shadow was no less than that of the Golden Core Realm cultivator.

Demon Beast... Demon fish?

He became somewhat excited. If he could catch this fish, could he try to absorb the Power of the Great Dao from it?

He waited silently by the lake, waiting for the fish to appear.

However, the water was calm and still, and there wasn't a single fish demon, let alone an insect.

Zhang Yang waited silently by the lake. He wasn't in a hurry to explore the secret realm; he could come in anytime.

At this time, the more than one thousand people in the secret realm had gathered into several groups.

"Find her! I must capture her this time!" Tan Yaoguang said fiercely to the two Golden Core Realm disciples beside him. "Our Langya Sacred Land cannot lose face like this. After capturing Situ Mingyue, we'll cultivate together successfully right here. Then, the Azure Cloud Sect will have no choice but to release her."

"Senior Brother Tan, we still need to explore the secret realm, we can't forget," the other two Golden Core Realm reminded him.

"We've only just entered; we still have a month. There's plenty of time to explore the secret realm!" Tan Yaoguang said confidently.

Although Zhang Yang had taken all his belongings, Jiang Hegui had no choice but to give Tan Yaoguang some more Law Treasure in order to enter the secret realm and complete his mission.

These Law Treasure are no less powerful than Tan Yaoguang's original Law Treasure, and may even be better.

Therefore, Tan Yaoguang is now very confident.

However, this secret realm is quite large; who knows where Situ Mingyue is?

"Senior Brother Tan, doesn't this look like the Longevity Fruit used to refine the Myriad Longevity Pill...?" A Golden Core Realm suddenly pointed to a green fruit in the distance and asked in astonishment.

Tan Yaoguang took a closer look and was overjoyed. "It really is the Longevity Fruit! We must take this back with us; the longevity of some of our sect's elders depends on it!"

After saying that, the three of them ran towards the Longevity Fruit.

Just as they were about to get close, a person in yellow clothes had already picked the Longevity Fruit.

"Put it down, that's ours!" Tan Yaoguang roared.

The man in yellow turned to look at Tan Yaoguang and his two companions, and smiled slightly, "People from the Langya Sacred Land? The Longevity Fruit is mine."

Tan Yaoguang said coldly, "Since you know about our Langya Sacred Land, then put down the Longevity Fruit. Otherwise, we won't be polite to you. Even if you take the Longevity Fruit away, your sect will obediently send it to our Langya Sacred Land."

The person in yellow gave a strange smile, revealing a mark. "Are you sure?"

Tan Yaoguang and the other two were speechless upon seeing the mark.

"We might need to work together again later, so I'm leaving now!" The person in the yellow shirt left.

Tan Yaoguang and his two companions watched them leave, then sighed, "The Myriad Spirits Sect people have come too. They've been so discreet, not revealing their identities at all!"

The other two Golden Core Realm couldn't help but glance at Tan Yaoguang. If this guy hadn't caused trouble at the Azure Moon Merchant Association, who would have known their identities?

Tan Yaoguang frowned. It seemed that these top sects were all somewhat wary of the Azure Cloud Sect's secret realm.

What exactly is in the Azure Cloud Secret Realm?

After discovering that the secret realm actually contained the Longevity Fruit, the three began to pay more attention to the rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures within it.

Although they are still searching for Situ Mingyue, they are also searching for heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Inside the secret realm, a battle quickly broke out as heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

The group of people waiting outside the Azure Cloud Sect's mountain gate were shocked to find that someone covered in blood had appeared outside the gate just one day after entering the secret realm.

Clearly, a life-or-death situation had occurred, and they were rescued by the Azure Cloud Sect.

These people, of course, are the ones who didn't sign the death waiver; only they receive this benefit.

Upon seeing the successor of his sect appear, a Nascent Soul Realm hurriedly stepped forward, asking with a mixture of anxiety and regret, "Why did you come out? What happened?"

"Master, I obtained the Nine-Turn Soul-Recovery Herb! Many people came to snatch it, and I vowed to protect it with my life. At the critical moment, a force suddenly pulled me out."

The Nascent Soul Realm was stunned for a moment, then shouted excitedly.

They spent a considerable amount of Spirit Stone to come to the Azure Cloud Sect to participate in the secret realm.

However, obtaining even one Nine-Turn Soul-Recovery Herb already far exceeds all the expenses.

That's one of the high-grade alchemical spirit medicine, and a key spirit medicine in the Nine-Turn Soul-Recovery Pill; it's incredibly valuable.

Whether this spirit medicine is traded out or offered as a tribute to a high-ranking sect, it can bring enormous profits to the sect.

Everyone else around heard the conversation.

The expressions on everyone's faces turned serious.

The Azure Cloud Sect really went all out this time, opening up their secret realm. It was indeed remarkable, even having high-level spirit medicine like the Nine-Turn Soul-Recovery Herb.

They began to look forward to what else was inside the secret realm.

However, just a moment later, a bloodied and mangled figure reappeared in front of the mountain gate.

He started yelling for help as soon as he came out!

The crowd stared at the man who had almost been disemboweled, exchanging bewildered glances.

What happened?

This secret realm is more dangerous than I imagined!
