Deep into the Secret Realm's Core, Heaven and Earth Qi Appears!
The secret realm has no distinction between day and night; it can only be calculated based on the rise and fall of Spiritual Qi tides. By calculation, the people and demons have been trekking through the secret realm for more than half a month.
The deeper you go into the core area, the stranger the surrounding environment becomes.
Sometimes it was an upside-down waterfall, sometimes an ice field burning with eerie blue flames, and they even encountered several waves of ferocious beasts along the way, but fortunately they were all killed by the group working together.
The cooperation between White Cloud Temple and Azure Light Gate is becoming increasingly seamless.
Although they encountered some obstacles along the way and suffered some losses, fortunately there were no casualties, and they even collected a considerable amount of wealth along the way.
Among them, Foundation Establishment Pill, medicinal herbs Spirit Plant suitable for the Foundation Establishment Realm, were obtained in considerable quantities, worth at least 100,000 Spirit Stone, which can be described as a considerable fortune, and everyone was naturally delighted.
The journey forward was fraught with peril.
One day, the Lord Rat who had gone ahead to scout the way sent back a message.
After the group passed through a mountain range, the terrain suddenly opened up before them.
As far as the eye could see, a vast and boundless marshland stretched out before them, with clouds and mist swirling around the water, the vapor rising and the Spiritual Qi so dense that it almost seemed to materialize and drip down.
The place before us is Ten Thousand Dao Marsh, located in the southern core area of the Kunyuan Secret Realm!
Sun Yao on high ground, overlooking this vast expanse of water.
Hundreds of islands are scattered across the water, each one a potential Blessed Land.
Deep within the marshland lies a giant island shrouded in nine-colored clouds, the very place where the Heaven and Earth Qi —cloud and water—are nurtured.
"What a grand gesture!"
"The legendary Spirit Transformation stage, what kind of methods does he possess to have created such a supreme treasure land!"
Liu Qing admired it and felt a longing in his heart.
"Don't get too excited, we're not the only ones here..."
Bi Luo gazed into the distance, her expression shifting between light and shadow. She saw that on several distant islands, some had already made their way there...
The island on the east side.
Dozens of cultivators dressed in the robes of the Grand Purity Sect are setting up an array.
On the southern waters, disciples of the Vast Righteousness School were using humanoid puppets to build defensive fortifications and set up formations.
Further west, the banners of the Profound Purity Sect fluttered in the wind, as if declaring their sovereignty over this land...
Various forces have now completely surrounded Ten Thousand Dao Marsh.
"It seems a tough battle is inevitable."
Sun Chengzu gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his fighting spirit blazing.
Sun Yao's sharp eyes swept across the entire situation. A direct assault would be unwise; she needed to find a way to break the deadlock...
Intriguingly, although the Grand Purity Sect and the Profound Purity Sect are allies, their camps are far apart, suggesting a mutual wariness.
Caught in the middle, the Vast Righteousness School's attitude is ambiguous.
Let's not rush into this.
Sun Yao lowered her voice. "First, find a secluded spot on the outskirts to set up camp. When they make the first move, there will surely be celestial phenomena when the Heaven and Earth Qi emerges."
"When the water gets muddied, that'll be the perfect opportunity for us to fish."
Upon hearing this, everyone wholeheartedly agreed.
Guided by the Lord Rat, the team quickly infiltrated the core area of the secret realm, hiding in an underwater cave on the edge, awaiting their opportunity.
Beneath the water, it was bitterly cold.
Inside the underwater cave, all the cultivators held their breath and concentrated, suppressing their auras. Above their heads, powerful Divine Sense swept across from time to time, probing from various forces.
As time went on, more and more cultivators from various factions gathered!
All the sects with any strength or reputation were present, waiting together for the ripening of the Heaven and Earth Qi and the distribution of various profits.
Meanwhile, the outer perimeter of the secret realm was engulfed in a bloodbath.
Countless disciples are fighting and killing each other on the outer perimeter. Almost every moment, someone falls and a new powerful and influential person is born!
Three days later, strange phenomena suddenly occurred.
In the heart of the swampy land, the giant island shrouded in nine-colored clouds trembled violently.
Amidst the churning clouds, a visible milky-white column of air instantly pierced the Yunxiao, drawing in the surrounding moisture and transforming it into countless water dragons that swirled and danced around the column.
The Heaven and Earth Qi has matured!
Inside the cave, Sun Yao suddenly opened her eyes. The pure, primordial energy of the Cloud Dao stirred an unspeakable longing within her body!
That was a yearning that came from the very flesh and blood, and even from the very soul.
The time has come.
On the water, tensions were already high between the various factions, and the situation escalated instantly, making everyone envious!
Within the Grand Purity Sect's camp, a young man in purple robes was the first to launch an attack.
This person summoned a small bronze cauldron. When the lid was lifted, the Purple Yang True Fire turned into a rain of fire, indiscriminately crashing down on the strongholds of the Vast Righteousness School and the Profound Purity Sect.
"Those mad dogs from the Grand Purity Sect, do they really think this secret realm is their private property!"
The leading disciple of the Profound Purity Sect roared, and a black flag of Profound Water swelled in the wind, stirring up towering waves that collided violently with the rain of fire.
Water and fire clashed, and water vapor rose.
The entire body of water was instantly enveloped in a vast expanse of white fog.
The disciples of the Vast Righteousness School are the most cunning.
Instead of confronting the two factions directly, they activated the large formation they had set up earlier. Instantly, countless thick metasequoia trees rose from the bottom of the lake, intertwining to form a huge maze, attempting to isolate the core island.
"Now's the time to fish in troubled waters."
"Everyone, help me seize this wisp of Heaven and Earth Qi!"
At Sun Yao's command, the people from White Cloud Temple and Azure Light Gate broke out of the water.
With a clear objective, strike directly at the core giant island!
Kuang Dou was the first to charge, his entire body enveloped in crimson flames, like a red-hot dagger, slashing fiercely into the metasequoia maze of the Vast Righteousness School.
Wherever its high temperature passed, the dawn redwood trees everywhere burst into flames!
"Where did this beast come from!"
The disciples of the Vast Righteousness School were shocked and hurriedly reversed their formation, attempting to extinguish the fire with water magic.
"Your opponent is me."
Liu Qing sneered, his sleeves billowing as a turquoise poisonous miasma spread along with the water vapor, penetrating every crevice and seeping into the surrounding waters!
Disciples of the Vast Righteousness School were exposed to the poisonous gas, and their exposed skin quickly ulcerated, sprouting foul-smelling pustules. They screamed in agony, and their offensive was hampered.
The Azure Light Gate disciples seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, their swords flashing like a tapestry, forming a sword formation in an attempt to hold off the Vast Righteousness School disciples...
Taking advantage of this chaos.
Sun Yao was the first to break through the blockade and forcefully rushed to the edge of the giant island.
The island's Spiritual Qi was so dense it was suffocating, yet three cultivators from the Grand Purity Sect appeared before it...
Leading the group was none other than the purple-robed youth who had attacked earlier!
"A minor clan of the Clear Azure Kingdom dares to meddle with the Heaven and Earth Qi?"
The young man in purple robes looked mocking, and a small bronze cauldron hung above his head, instantly blazing with flames, as if he were about to kill Sun Yao in one fell swoop!
Sun Yao didn't waste any words.
The longsword was drawn, and the Method Formula was pushed to its limit. Water mist immediately filled the surroundings, instantly condensing into millions of ice swords, which shot out in a dense, overwhelming barrage.
Then, countless clouds gathered, transforming into hundreds of chains that sealed off all directions, intending to strangle the three members of the Grand Purity Sect on the spot!
Behind him, Sun Chengzu also escaped from the rear and rushed to his aid.
He opened his sword case wide, and twelve flying swords, linked end to end, transformed into a long dragon of Sword Qi, aiming straight for the young man's head!
"Anyone who blocks my Yao Gu's way shall die!"
