Entering the Secret Realm

Gu Nian glared at Yan Changxi and said with displeasure, "Don't speak to my junior sister in such a flippant tone, lest you lead her astray."

Hearing this, Yan Changxi curled his lip in disdain, but ultimately reined in that flippant expression.

Xue Fuyao looked at this scene in wonder, gossip regarding this future Eldest Senior Brother of the Kunlun Sect surfacing in her mind.

Do not look at how this person grew a playboy's appearance and always gave off an uninhibited, very frivolous sort of vibe, but actually he was the number one paragon of devoted love in the Cultivation Realm.

It was just that the object of his affection was a butterfly demon.

After Monster Beasts cultivated into human form, they could be called the Demon Race. Only the Demon Race could enter the Demon Realm, while ordinary Monster Beasts could not. As for that butterfly demon, it was a Flowing Cloud Butterfly that had cultivated into shape, reportedly accompanying Yan Changxi's side since childhood, and their mutual affection had grown over time.

For this butterfly demon, Yan Changxi did not hesitate to betray his own lineage and sect, making an enemy of the entire Cultivation Realm.

Before her death in her previous life, the last time she had heard news of Yan Changxi and the butterfly demon, this man and demon had fled to the territory of the Northern Continent.

The location where Xue Fuyao and the others currently found themselves was called the Southern Continent.

Compared to the bountiful Southern Continent, the Northern Continent was even more barren, and the dangers were also greater.

Withdrawing her gaze from Yan Changxi, Xue Fuyao began to use a surprised and curious gaze to size up the three people standing behind him whose appearance, clothing, and hairstyles were all exactly the same.

In the Cultivation Realm, offspring were already exceedingly difficult for cultivators to come by, let alone triplets with identical appearances, so Xue Fuyao's scrutiny did not arouse the suspicion of others, who merely thought she was just curious.

At this moment, Gu Nian said softly to Xue Fuyao, "The three of them are the Zhang Family triplets, Zhang Yizhi, Zhang Hongzhi, and Zhang Qizhi. If you happen to run into them after entering the Secret Realm, stay far away from them and don't get into conflicts with them, especially when the three of them are together."

The Zhang Family triplets might not be much to worry about individually, but if the three of them were together, it was a case of one plus one plus one being greater than three.

Hearing this, Xue Fuyao nodded earnestly. "I understand, Senior Sister."

Yet Xue Fuyao had already made up her mind in her heart that given the opportunity, she would permanently leave these triplets inside the Secret Realm.

"When is the Secret Realm entrance going to open?" An impatient voice sounded.

Upon looking, it was one of the Zhang Family triplets, who was currently wearing an impatient expression. As for exactly which one it was, that remained unclear.

It was rumored that the degree of similarity among the triplets was such that even their parents were unable to tell them apart, because even their spiritual roots and cultivation realms were identical.

In this world, the only ones capable of telling them apart from one another were probably themselves alone.

"Soon," Yan Changxi said rather perfunctorily, not placing these three people in his eyes in the slightest.

The Yan Family was also a cultivation lineage, and furthermore he was a disciple under the Kunlun Sect, so naturally he was not afraid of these triplets.

Just like that, the crowd quietly waited for another half an hour or so, and the Secret Realm entrance finally appeared.

Ripples suddenly appeared in the space before them, and right after that, a stone gate capable of accommodating only a single person entering appeared out of thin air right where they stood.

The stone gate slowly opened, pitch-black inside, and nothing could be seen clearly, though a faint scent of blood could be smelled vaguely.

It was said that when the Qingfeng Secret Realm first appeared, the restrictions around it were immensely powerful, turning many Golden Core Stage and even Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who wanted to force their way into the Secret Realm into bloody mist. In the end, even more formidable cultivators had to step in, and only then was the restriction of the Qingfeng Secret Realm stabilized.

After all, not all secret realms were as mild and devoid of danger as the Moonview Mountain Secret Realm. Most secret realms were extremely dangerous when first discovered, especially some secret realms possessing inheritances.

Secret realms of this sort were called secret realms, but in reality they were all places where ancient mighty figures were buried after death. In other words, those people entering the secret realm could also be said to be grave robbers; who would show mercy to people coming to rob their own grave?

Yet even so, it was not just anyone who could enter. The cultivation of the Golden Core Stage was too high, and entering would trigger the restrictions, while the cultivation of the Qi Refining stage was too weak to withstand the restrictions inside, so the Foundation Establishment Realm was just right.

"Alright, the Secret Realm is open. Everyone hurry on in. The entry duration is one month, and after one month, you will be teleported out," an elder responsible for guarding the Qingfeng Secret Realm slowly said.

Just as Xue Fuyao prepared to enter the Secret Realm, the corner of her eye noticed Ye Qinfei walking rapidly toward her side, her demeanor as though she were in a rush to enter the Secret Realm.

At her speed, Ye Qinfei would definitely collide with her.

From her angle, she could see that the hand Ye Qinfei had hidden inside her sleeve seemed to be holding something.

Seeing this, Xue Fuyao immediately thought of something.

She had once encountered a female cultivator in a small town boasting to another female cultivator about her method of killing her enemies: it was to take advantage of the opponent entering the Secret Realm by catching them off guard and sprinkling potent Beast-Attracting Powder on the opponent's body.

In this way, she would not have to do anything at all, and the opponent would die directly inside the Secret Realm. Ever since then, she would become exceptionally cautious every time she entered a secret realm.

Thinking this, Xue Fuyao decisively withdrew the foot she had stepped out and casually pulled on Gu Nian beside her, making way for Ye Qinfei.

And Ye Qinfei had not expected Xue Fuyao to actually do this, failing to react in time as her entire person lunged straight into the gate of the Secret Realm.

Seeing this, the people who had not yet entered could not help freezing in place.

"I didn't expect this Yuanji Sect disciple to be quite the impatient type. It seems our movements were too slow," Yan Changxi said with a smile.

Hearing these slightly bantering words, the expressions on the faces of the other Yuanji Sect disciples were far from pleasant.

"Enough, the time for the Secret Realm gate to open is limited. Everyone hurry up and go in," Gu Nian said in a deep voice.

Amidst a bout of dizzying spinning, Xue Fuyao appeared atop a patch of grass surrounded by verdant mountains, clear waters, and the sounds of singing birds and fragrant flowers.

What dense spiritual Qi.

Xue Fuyao felt the spiritual Qi around her, only to regret that she could not cultivate.

Before coming, she had heard Senior Sister Gu Nian say that the treasures within the Qingfeng Secret Realm were numerous, but many treasures had Monster Beasts guarding their surroundings, and some Monster Beasts were even primeval grand demons from ancient times with extraordinary strength. Ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were no match for them.

Yet if one could successfully hunt them, their physical bodies and inner cores were extremely valuable.

Xue Fuyao still wanted to repair the Demon-Suppressing Bracelet, so even if she did not sell them for money, she needed to hunt these Monster Beasts in abundance, especially those Monster Beasts possessing special bloodlines, even if they had only a trace.

She observed the surrounding environment, discovering that the place where she found herself was a naturally formed valley. The area of the valley was very large, and the surrounding mountains were also very tall.

Xue Fuyao recalled the map Gu Nian had given her, quite certain that this place was not on the map.
