Chapter 16: Secret Realm Opens, Enemy Cultivators Come to Explore
One day, Wei Zhong took down the birdcage in the yard and put Jiucai into the spirit beast bag.
He changed his appearance, performed the breath-concealing technique, put on a loose black robe and a hood, and headed for the market.
Today is the day when the secret realm opens.
It seems that due to the special time today, a large number of people gathered in the market, many of whom came from other places.
Wei Zhong's outfit was inconspicuous in the crowd.
The hawking sounds in the market town have continued for two years and have not stopped. Instead, they are even more lively because of the opening of the secret realm today.
"Boom!"
There was a loud thunder in the clear sky, and a figure stood above the market town.
"He is a Jindan cultivator, the master of the Weapon Hall of Qingmu Sect, Zhao Bai. It is said that he is a physical cultivator, and his physique is strong enough to withstand a third-level magic weapon. I didn't expect that he would be the one to open the secret realm today."
The well-informed ones among the cultivators have already seen where this person came from.
Wei Zhong looked at his body soaring into the air, and a hint of curiosity emerged on his face.
'The path of physical cultivation seems not bad.'
Most of the skills of spiritual practitioners rely on spiritual power. If the spiritual power is exhausted during a fight, the decline in strength will be extremely terrifying.
Unlike physical practitioners who rely on their own physique, this approach has a bit of the flavor of being able to break all things with one force.
"My fellow Taoists, I will be the host of the opening of this secret realm..."
The sound of his voice was like rumbling thunder, and the monks below could hear it clearly.
"The sound is like thunder. Could it be that he is practicing the thunder-based body-refining technique?" Wei Zhong guessed secretly.
"Those who are interested in exploring the secret realm, please hold the token and follow me. The rest of you, please stand back."
After saying that, he turned into a long rainbow and flew towards the gate of Qingmu Sect, leaving a golden mark in the air.
"Is the entrance really inside the mountain gate?"
Wei Zhong followed the crowd and kept up with them.
At the same time, the voice of Elder Zhao came to my ears:
"Follow the rainbow light and sneak along. Don't stray too far away, otherwise the ban will be triggered and the consequences will be at your own risk."
No one wanted to cause trouble at this critical moment, and all the cultivators followed Changhong closely.
Some people fly flying swords, and some people perform magic.
Wei Zhong stepped on auspicious clouds and took one step after another without slowing down at all. He arrived at a valley following the golden rainbow light.
Many disciples of the Qingmu Sect were already waiting here, divided into three teams, with scattered true disciples standing on each side.
The master of the Dan Palace is floating in the air.
Seeing that the wandering cultivator had arrived, he shouted:
"Dear disciples, please lend me a helping hand."
"Respect the Palace Master's order!!!"
A silver beam of light rose from Zhao Bai's arms, and six golden lights also emanated from the hands of each disciple and converged in it.
The two lights worked together to form a dazzling "sun" in the air. Even Zhao Bai, a Jindan body cultivator, could not withstand its power and fell to the ground.
The cultivators were even more worried, as if something terrible was about to happen.
I saw the void being torn by the dazzling light, and a gap appeared. Through it, I could vaguely see the beautiful scenery inside.
The hole became bigger and bigger, and finally stopped at ten feet, and the "sun" went out.
Only then did the fear in the hearts of the cultivators disappear.
"The secret realm has been opened, why don't you enter?"
When the "thunder" sounded, the sect disciples and independent practitioners entered one after another.
Seeing the cultivators coming in, Zhao Baicai muttered in a low voice:
"The power of the void is so terrifying. Senior brother is right. The void passage that opens the secret realm is so unstable. It seems that the secret realm cannot be preserved."
Then he said to the disciples around him:
"You wait here to guard the passage."
"Yes!"
Then it turned into a streak of golden light and disappeared. "The Palace Master's thunder technique is becoming more and more sophisticated. This 'Golden Thunder Art' is indeed a thunder-type body-refining technique. It is so powerful that I was almost taken aback by it just now. The Palace Master's cultivation is probably not far from the middle stage of the Core Formation Realm."
The remaining disciples exclaimed in admiration and turned their gaze towards the fifth true disciple Luo Zhigang.
"Don't look at me. Master's cultivation is not something we can talk about at will. You should guard the passage to prevent anyone from destroying it."
"Brother, you are joking. This is the heartland of our sect. How could any evil cultivator dare to take the risk and enter this place?"
Despite saying so, everyone focused their attention on the void passage in mid-air, and then dispersed to guard the surroundings.
"How is it?"
It was Zhao Bai who was leaving, looking at Duan Delong carrying a half-dead figure.
"Three came. I killed one. Junior Sister Yu will catch the remaining two."
Zhao Bai pushed aside the corpse's face veil and asked in confusion:
"Where is this kid?"
Duan Delong shook his head:
"I don't know. Our Qingmu Sect has been passed down for so many years, and we have at least 800 enemies. This man has no other characteristics except for his magic spells."
As soon as the words fell, another voice sounded:
"I have made some discoveries. You two may want to take a look."
It was Yu Xianglan who chased the other two invaders back and threw them to the ground.
The clothes of the corpse were deliberately torn, and non-human features such as "scales, tail" and so on could be seen.
"Demon cultivator?"
Both of them were surprised.
Most human cultivators practice spiritual arts. Only some who are not qualified enough and are stuck in a certain realm will practice demonic arts in an attempt to break through, which will result in various characteristics of demon beasts appearing on their bodies.
"These are the minions of the Mountain of Beasts!"
Over the years, the human race's cultivation world has been keeping the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range in mind, and the same is true for the monsters in the mountain range.
"Three foundation builders, one demon and two monsters, you are really willing to invest."
Zhao Bai sneered.
"I wonder which idiot bewitched this demon boy to come and break into my Qingmu Sect. Does he think that my Qingmu Sect's protective formation is vegetarian?"
"That's not the case," Yu Xianglan waved her sleeves, and two sharp cones appeared in the air.
"Second-order forbidden cone?"
Zhao Bai broke out in sweat on his forehead. If the two of them had activated these two items when he opened the passage, it would have definitely destroyed the opening of the secret realm.
At the same time, all the Qi-refining cultivators around, whether they were disciples of the sect or independent cultivators, would be affected, and he would have to protect at most six foundation-building disciples and leave.
Thinking of this now, I suddenly felt scared.
Duan Delong was relatively calm. With the two of them protecting him, nothing would go wrong.
"Junior sister is very powerful. She was able to capture and kill him without him being able to use the Breaking Forbidden Awl."
"Brother, that's great praise. But I still need to report this matter to the headmaster for his decision."
"That's how it should be!"
······
Wei Zhong felt dizzy and when he opened his eyes he found that he had left the green valley and entered a secret realm.
There is a blue sky above, grey rocks underfoot, and undulating mountains all around.
It really deserves to be called the 'Qingchuan Secret Realm'.
Standing on the auspicious cloud, Wei Zhong took a look at the surrounding terrain.
This place should be the edge of Luoxia Valley, not far from Wuling Cliff, one of the places where the 'Jadeite Ganoderma' grows.
'Lucky, there's a chance I can get there before others.'
Wei Zhong took out the magic sword and held it in his hand. Now that he had entered the secret realm, he had to be careful. Mist rose under his feet, and when it dissipated, Wei Zhong was no longer visible.
