Encountering a Secret Realm

"Damn it, is that Sky-Soaring Eagle a dog? It can still track me even though I'm so far away."

Shen Ge was furious as he watched the approaching Sky-Soaring Eagle behind him. After being chased for so long, he was now just a piece of meat shining brightly in the ocean.

"No, if this continues, I'll die here."

Shen Ge gritted his teeth and used a secret technique, transforming into a wisp of black smoke and disappearing into the air.

The prey that was about to escape got away, and the Sky-Soaring Eagle behind it let out an angry cry and began to attack indiscriminately in all directions.

Two thousand miles away, a wisp of black smoke slowly condensed into a human shape.

Shen Ge spat out a mouthful of blood and said angrily, "Damn it, as expected of the life-saving Secret Method recorded in the Samsara Method, it's really damaging to the body. After this, it will probably take a year to recover."

Despite his anger, Shen Ge didn't regret using the Secret Method. After all, if he had been held back by that Demon Beast, he might have ended up in the same situation as that guy.

After observing the surroundings, Shen Ge immediately concealed his presence and hid. After about a month of hiding, Shen Ge finally sneaked back to the nearshore area.

Once they entered the nearshore waters, Shen Ge finally felt relieved; he had been living in constant fear the whole way.

After disguising himself, Shen Ge went to the nearest large island called Scorpio Island to inquire about information.

"Fellow Daoist, have you heard? There's been quite a commotion on Tianxuan Island lately, and the Dead Sea seems to be getting increasingly turbulent."

"Fellow Daoist, your news is too far in the past and insignificant to us. Speaking of news, there have been some unusual occurrences recently in the southwestern region near the Outer Sea. Something is definitely amiss here. Perhaps a secret realm has opened. Many fellow Daoists who are confident in their strength have rushed there recently."

"It's hard to say whether it's a secret realm or not. If there's danger, it might be hard to escape then."

After listening for a while, Shen Ge had a general understanding of the current situation.

The anomaly in the Dead Sea is not too serious; it's on Tianxuan Island and won't endanger this area for the time being.

The news about the suspected secret realm piqued Shen Ge's interest; he was determined to join in the fun.

Three days later, Shen Ge set off for that sea area. Although he was still injured, the injury did not have a significant impact, only limiting his combat power by 30%.

Five days later, Shen Ge arrived at that sea area, but he was not in a hurry to search for anything. Instead, he found a deserted island to rest.

During this time, he sent a message to his Fenghuo, but received no response, which made Shen Ge a little worried.

Although that path was chosen by Uncle-Master Fenghuo himself, he was still a fellow disciple and Uncle-Master.

However, since we hadn't heard anything about the Tianquan Sect before, this is good news. I hope Uncle Fenghuo is alright.

About a month later, on this day, the sea suddenly became turbulent, and wave after wave crashed against the island, almost submerging the entire island.

The waves were split open, and Shen Ge leaped into the air and flew south. About three hundred miles later, many more people suddenly appeared around him.

Ahead, a small island appeared on the sea, and above the island, a dark whirlpool was spinning.

Shen Ge glanced around and found that there were no restrictions on entering this place. Seeing that everyone was rushing in, he didn't hesitate any longer and flew straight in.

After entering, Shen Ge did not release his divine sense, but instead looked around. He was now in a square, surrounded by quite a few people.

Directly in front of the square, a group of palaces that looked like crystals stood tall.

The palace gates were wide open, and many people had already gone inside.

"Is this the Dragon Palace?"

"Unlikely. This sea area used to be human territory. This is more likely the enclosure of pets kept by an ancient sect, possibly dragons."

Ignoring their analysis, Shen Ge entered the palace directly, activating his Divine Sense, and headed straight for the innermost part.

After passing through several palaces, Shen Ge, who was on his way, suddenly stopped and turned to look at a side hall that was being fought over by a group of Foundation Establishment.

At the same time, not only Shen Ge, a Golden Core cultivator, looked over, but two other Golden Core who had entered also looked over.

Without hesitation, Shen Ge used his speed to enter the side hall first and took everything inside.

As for those attacks, they couldn't harm him in the slightest under the Mountain and River Cauldron.

"It's the Late Golden Core Stage!"

The Middle Golden Core Stage expert who had previously tried to stop Shen Ge had a flicker in his eyes, but in the end, he pretended not to have made a move and flew deeper into the area.

The other two were not intimidated by Shen Ge's Late Golden Core Stage cultivation, but they were wary of the top-grade defensive Law Treasure on Shen Ge's head.

After the aura of the Golden Core dissipated, the faces of the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators who had been fighting for it turned pale and then red. They had fought tooth and nail here, only to have their prize snatched away so casually. This was more humiliating than any other insult.

After Shen Ge took the item, he walked all the way to the deepest part of the palace. The battle between the three palaces had reached a fever pitch, with Golden Core experts withdrawing from the fray from time to time, and some even perishing.

"This melee is really intense." Shen Ge shook his head and said, "It's not worth getting involved now. Whether I win Cultivation Method or Law Treasure or not, it's meaningless to me."

Shen Ge glanced at the palace where alchemy was being performed. He observed from the outside for a while and discovered that there were at least seven Golden Core experts vying for those five bottles of pills.

More than a thousand meters away from here, in another place, there is a medicine garden. The fighting there is not as fierce as here, and most of the attacks are from the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

Just as Shen Ge got up to head to the herb garden, suddenly, the struggle inside the alchemy hall caused a medicine bottle to shatter, and a red pill flew out.

The rich aroma of the medicine invigorated him. Without hesitation, Shen Ge placed the Mountain and River Cauldron above his head, unfurled his Sword Yi, and charged into the cauldron carrying a surge of Sword Intent.

This imposing presence caused the seven or eight people involved in the fight to change their expressions. The two people in front of Shen Ge had no choice but to step aside.

With Shen Ge joining the group, it was clear that some of them were forming a united front. The battle intensified, and several bottles of pills were broken, with each person managing to grab a small piece. No one managed to swallow a whole pill.

With only one medicine bottle left, Shen Ge was already considering quitting.

Whoever takes this last one will become the target of everyone's attacks, and might even die on the spot.

But it seemed that fate didn't want him to give up. The bottle of pills flew right past Shen Ge's eyes, as if it were being handed to him. He instinctively picked up the bottle.

But the next moment, seven or eight powerful attacks came crashing down, and Shen Ge was overwhelmed by several of them before she could even run a little away.
