Followers, and a Secret Investigation into the Young Prodigies' Origins

With the death of Ming Sha, the undead army instantly collapsed, and the remnants scattered and fled.

Liu Yi first stored the fragments of the Innate Spirit Treasure in his Storage Space, and then sent the Heaven-Opening Sword and other Law Treasure back into his inner world to continue to nurture them with the World Origin.

He turned to look at the sixteen survivors and saw Ye Qingxue, Xie Tong, Bai Shuyan, Ye Xuanxiao, Su Yaoguang, and others.

Most of the others were system hosts, with only three being cultivators, including Shi Long, who was at the Spirit Transformation Realm.

A smile spread across his face, "Congratulations on escaping!"

At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh: so many changes have occurred in the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm, except for the Devil Beast Forest, which is still relatively stable.

Both the Blood River and the Undead Bone Sea are fraught with danger; a moment's carelessness can lead to injury.

Could this be the change caused by Bai Qianqian, the Child of Fortune, entering the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm?

Or perhaps a sudden change in Child of Fortune.

If it weren't for my own considerable strength, I would probably have perished in the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm long ago.

After all, who could have predicted that a king would be born from the Undead Bone Sea, not only having reached the Void Return Realm in cultivation but also being able to command millions of undead?

Furthermore, it can use fragments of Innate Spirit Treasure to break the cultivation seals of the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm.

This change was truly unexpected.

Xie Tong, Ye Qingxue, and the others quickly stepped forward and respectfully bowed, saying:

"Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Liu for saving our lives! If it weren't for your miraculous intervention, we would likely have perished in the Undead Bone Sea."

Seeing everyone's politeness, Liu Yi responded with a smile:

Fellow Daoists, there's no need for such formalities. Your survival ultimately depends on your own strength.

"Look, the other Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators haven't followed. Their fate is still unknown."

Upon hearing this, Bai Shuyan and the other system hosts were also filled with emotion:

Because of their natural affinity as fellow system hosts, and because Liu Xuan (Liu Yi) showed mercy within the barrier of the Life Origin Tree, they kept following closely behind Liu Xuan as he charged forward.

The others either couldn't keep up with the speed or were delayed by attacks, and failed to catch up with the group.

Now that the fate of those people is unknown, it's likely that they are in grave danger.

Just then, Shi Long stepped forward and respectfully said:

"Fellow Daoist Liu's strength is astonishing; he is destined for a bright future."

Seeing that you are all alone, I wish to follow you closely and serve you faithfully.

He did this because he was originally Rogue Cultivator with Two Spirit Root.

It was only through a great fortuitous opportunity that he was able to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm so quickly, but breaking through to the Void Return Realm is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

My purpose in entering the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm was to take a gamble and hopefully obtain fortuitous opportunity to improve my skills.

Having just witnessed Liu Xuan's extraordinary abilities, he immediately resolved to follow him.

After all, in the Immortal Realm of cultivation, it is common to rely on powerful figures to obtain resources and break through cultivation levels. Perhaps by following Liu Xuan, one may have the opportunity to advance further.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yi was momentarily stunned.

He hadn't expected Shi Long to say such a thing. After all, the other party was Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator, a big shot in the cultivation Immortal Realm. Why would he suddenly want to follow him?

He didn't think he had any charm that would make people bow down to him, and besides, he had too many secrets that were not suitable for others to know.

Thinking of Shi Long had managed to push over three hundred cultivators to the opposite side with a single move, he felt a chill run down his spine and quickly shook his head in refusal.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, I am already used to working alone and have no plans to take on followers for the time being."

Shi Long's eyes flashed with disappointment upon hearing his blunt refusal, but he remained undeterred.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, my cultivation is at the Spirit Transformation Realm Immortal Realm. I can handle miscellaneous matters for you, allowing you to focus on your cultivation."

Liu Yi shook his head again, his tone tactful yet firm. "Fellow Daoist Shi, I truly have no intention of taking on followers."

Seeing his resolute attitude, Shi Long knew that the other party truly had no intention of taking on followers, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed, but he still clasped his hands and said:

"Fellow Daoist Liu, if you plan to recruit followers in the future, please consider me first."

"Uh-huh!"

Liu Yi looked at everyone and smiled, "Fellow Daoists, you are all injured. You should each find a place to heal your wounds."

After saying that, he turned around, found a flat piece of ground, formed hand seals, and set up Five Elements Defense Formation.

He took out a futon from his Storage Space and sat down cross-legged.

He took out a Life Origin Fruit and ate it. The juice instantly melted in his mouth, each drop carrying abundant vitality.

At this moment, his body was filled with boundless vitality, and every cell in his body was frantically absorbing this power.

While recovering his spirit and True Power depleted in the great battle, he also circulated his internal Cultivation Method to temper his acupoints.

Seeing that he had begun cultivating and recovering on his own, the others also found a place to practice their internal energy to heal their injuries and restore their cultivation.

Immortal-Devil Secret Realm, after the secret realm opened, cultivators at the Void Return Realm, led by various immortal cultivation sects, gathered.

They were all curious about the unfamiliar young prodigies and martial Cultivation Method that appeared in the arena, and secretly sent people to investigate their origins.

Li Jie of the Heavenly Revelation Sect was the one sent by Elder Lan Sheng to investigate the origins of those unfamiliar young prodigies and their martial Cultivation Method.

He stood on the flying sword, his face full of helplessness, having no idea where to begin his investigation.

It's true what they say, "The boss has to talk, and the subordinates have to run themselves ragged."

"Sigh, those young prodigies have never shown their faces in the Eastern Desolation cultivation Immortal Realm. Am I supposed to search the entire Eastern Desolation?"

I wonder if the other two can find it. If they do, wouldn't it make me look incompetent?

He frowned, muttering to himself, "Martial Cultivation Method have always been practiced by people in the mortal world. Perhaps I should just go to the mortal world and try my luck; maybe I'll find something."

Having made up his mind, Li Jie rode his flying sword and headed towards the city in the mortal realm.

Half a day later, Li Jie gazed at the city before him and fell silent.

The city itself looked normal, much like the ones he had seen before.

But the people were strange; everyone who entered or left the city gate carried cultivation, and several of them had even reached the Golden Core Realm (Dao Seed Realm).

As he watched all this, he was startled and filled with doubt and uncertainty, vaguely feeling that he had stumbled upon an unusual secret.

After his expression changed several times, he finally decided to go into the city to find out what was going on.

He landed steadily on a deserted cement road outside the city after descending from his flying sword, and curiously stepped on the surface.

It felt as hard as stone to the touch, but it was unclear what material it was made of.

Unable to find out the truth, he stopped thinking about it and headed straight for the city gate.

As he stepped into the city and walked on the cement-paved streets, the sight before him made him even more horrified.

The streets are lined with brick and tile houses, and the thatched houses that were once common are no longer there.

The passersby were all well-dressed, with rosy complexions and steady, powerful steps, clearly possessing cultivation.

The vendors carrying their goods moved swiftly through the streets and alleys, but the passersby seemed unfazed.

At the street stalls, some people displayed their skills of capturing dragons and controlling cranes, manipulating sugar water to create beautiful sugar paintings in mid-air, while others used fire-attribute Law Technique to bake pastries.

On the streets, there are cars that can move on their own without being pulled by horses; upon closer inspection, they are actually creations that combine formations and mechanical arts.

He even saw a dense array of square light screens appear out of thin air in front of some people, as if they were making payments, but no silver was being used.

Everything before him was completely unfamiliar; his head was buzzing, and his heart was in turmoil.

He had never seen these things before, not even in the Immortal Realm of cultivation.
