Chapter 205 Secret Realm Teleportation
Good books and good stories accompany you every day.
Within the secret realm.
Li Ping slightly opened his eyes, a hint of weariness flashing in them: "I'm eighty-eight this year!"
Although he was secluded in the secret realm cultivating diligently, he still kept a very clear sense of time.
If he were on Earth, even if he were still alive at his age, he would probably have lost the ability to take care of himself and would be unable to walk.
Fortunately, he transmigrated to the world of cultivation and was lucky enough to become a cultivator. After successfully establishing his foundation, he lived for 240 years.
Eighty-eight years is only about a third of his life; he can live a long time.
"Cultivating immortality is still the best!"
While feeling moved, Li Ping then examined his own cultivation level.
Thanks to the blessing of the Jade of the Spirit Eye, his cultivation speed increased greatly.
More than a decade has passed, and his cultivation at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage has been largely completed. Perhaps in another decade or so, he will be able to break through to the late-Foundation Establishment stage.
A late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator is considered a significant figure in the Western Wilderness cultivation world.
With that thought, Li Ping nodded in satisfaction, then closed his eyes and continued his arduous cultivation.
……
Just as Li Ping was practicing asceticism.
In front of the Qingyun Secret Realm of Donghua Mountain, Core Formation cultivators continued to arrive.
The arriving Core Formation cultivators spontaneously divided into two groups: on the right were the four major demonic sects—Yu Ling Men, Xue Ying Jiao, Jiu You Zong, and He Huan Zong; on the left were the righteous sects—Xue Gong, Zi Yun Gu, Chi Yun Zong, and Tian You Zong.
Following behind the Core Formation cultivators from their respective sects were the carefully selected Foundation Establishment cultivators.
These Foundation Establishment cultivators were mostly at or above the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. The few early-Foundation Establishment cultivators were all individuals who had distinguished themselves in previous battles and were skilled in combat.
After more than a decade of fierce battles, many cultivators present had lost friends and family to the other side. Naturally, they glared at each other angrily upon seeing each other again.
However, with a Core Formation cultivator present, no one dared to make a move.
However, it is foreseeable that once they enter the secret realm, without a Core Formation cultivator to oversee the situation, an extremely bloody conflict will inevitably erupt.
Among the Foundation Establishment cultivators on the righteous side who were preparing to enter the secret realm, some were acquaintances of Li Ping.
For example, Xiao Yunzhi stood silently behind the Core Formation cultivators, coldly looking at the demonic cultivator camp not far away.
On the other side, Ji Shuwen was also standing in the Chiyun Sect's group, impatiently dealing with a male cultivator who was trying to curry favor with her, and her cultivation level had actually reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
A black-robed cultivator stood in the Ziyun Valley's group; he was Huang Yan, the Ziyun Valley cultivator who had once asked Li Ping to refine pills.
Beside him stood Xiong Pohai, a burly man with a thick beard, who was scanning the demonic cultivator opposite him, seemingly plotting something.
For some reason, he somehow managed to get a spot to enter the secret realm from Ziyun Valley.
Moreover, he and Huang Yan seem to have formed an alliance and appear to have a good relationship.
……
With patience, the time for the secret realm to open soon arrived.
Four late-stage Core Formation cultivators from the four major demonic sects flew forward, as did four late-stage Core Formation cultivators from the righteous path.
Old Demon Lu nodded slightly: "After the secret realm is reinforced, opening it will require even greater power. Let the eight of us work together to open the entrance to the secret realm."
"Hmph!" Qiu Changfeng snorted coldly, but did not speak.
Since the others have all come, they naturally won't refuse to join forces.
Immediately, they unleashed their respective magical treasures, striking together towards the entrance of the secret realm. The eight late-stage Core Formation natal magical treasures easily opened the entrance, revealing a circular passage several meters wide and high, radiating a blue light.
"Hurry up and go inside!"
With a loud shout, Old Demon Lu subtly took control of the situation.
After "powerfully killing" Xiao Changkong, who was originally known as the number one cultivator in the Western Wilderness, he has been recognized by the four major demonic sects as the new number one cultivator in the Western Wilderness.
However, the righteous cultivators believed that he had used underhanded means to assassinate Alliance Leader Xiao, and therefore did not acknowledge his strength.
But at times like these, no one stands up against him.
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
All the Foundation Establishment cultivators who had secured a spot saw the secret realm open and, without hesitation, leaped up and flew towards the circular passage, entering the secret realm one after another.
After all Foundation Establishment cultivators fly to the end of the passage and enter the secret realm, they will be randomly teleported to different locations by the remaining restrictions within the secret realm, so there is no need to worry about the order in which they enter.
A few moments later, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators present had entered the secret realm.
The eight late-stage Core Formation cultivators no longer expended their mana to maintain the entrance to the passage. Instead, they retrieved their respective magical treasures and gathered together to sit cross-legged.
A month later, they will make another move, open the entrance to the secret realm, and release all the Foundation Establishment cultivators inside.
Of course, this is to be able to analyze and control the situation within the secret realm at all times.
Foundation Establishment cultivators who enter the secret realm all leave their life tokens with Core Formation cultivators outside. If anything happens, the Core Formation cultivators outside will know immediately.
"Click~"
"Click~"
Several days later, the sound of life tablets shattering began to occasionally echo from the storage bags of the Core Formation cultivators present.
Clearly, some of them have already perished.
However, this was within their expectations, after all, not long ago, the two sides were still engaged in a life-or-death battle.
Now that they've entered the secret realm, any encounter will naturally be like enemies meeting, their eyes blazing with hatred.
……
The core of the Azure Cloud Secret Realm is a circular valley where five black-robed cultivators have gathered at some unknown time.
"Why hasn't Kunhu arrived yet?" one of the five black-robed cultivators frowned.
The other four remained silent, but their faces also showed expressions of confusion.
As instructed by the Grand Elder, the six of them did not need to compete for ordinary treasures within the Azure Cloud Secret Realm, because the Azure Cloud Secret Realm was actually layered, and they were only in the first layer.
The second level of the secret realm is where the real treasures are hidden. Therefore, once they enter the secret realm, they must immediately rush to the core of the secret realm, use the formation they brought in to open the second level of the secret realm, and then plunder it extensively.
To be on the safe side, the Grand Elder entrusted the only array plate to Kunhu, the strongest of the six, while the others each carried an array flag.
According to the Grand Elder's estimate, only three array flags are needed to activate the array.
In this way, as long as Kunhu reaches the core area, even if something happens to one of them, it won't cause any major problems.
But now, they've all arrived, yet Kunhu is still nowhere to be seen.
"Perhaps something got in the way," someone said hesitantly.
The first black-robed cultivator to speak sneered, "Hmph, what could be more important than entering the second level of the secret realm? Once we leave the secret realm, I will definitely report this matter to the Grand Elder."
Just as the five were talking.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound echoed in the distant sky, accompanied by a familiar roar: "Crazy woman, do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"
"It's Kunhu!"
The five of them immediately realized what was happening and quickly flew into the sky to look in the direction from which the sound came.
They saw Kun Hu fleeing in a sorry state, with a fireball rapidly approaching behind him. Within the fireball, they could vaguely see the shadow of a female cultivator.
Upon seeing that all five were present, Kunhu immediately flew towards them.
The female cultivator in the flames, witnessing this scene, turned and left without hesitation, not giving them a chance to fight outnumbered.
Kunhu flew to the five people.
"Kunhu, why did you bring Xiao Yunzhi here!" someone scolded him.
He glared at her angrily: "You think I wanted this? This crazy woman is faster than me and keeps chasing me. I can't shake her off."
Kunhu was about to speak again when he was interrupted by the others: "Alright, alright, now that we've driven Xiao Yunzhi away, let's hurry up and open the second level of the secret realm. Time is running out."
Upon hearing this, Kunhu snorted and nodded: "This is important business, we can't delay."
They set up the formation on their own, paying no attention to Xiao Yunzhi.
Even if this woman is incredibly powerful, there are six cultivators here. It's six against one, so why would they be afraid?
While the six Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Yuling Sect were busy setting up an array to open the second level of the secret realm, Xiao Yunzhi did not go far away. Instead, she stood on the mountaintop dozens of miles away, looking towards the valley with surprise in her eyes.
"Chirp chirp~"
The blazing sunbird perched on her shoulder, chirping softly.
Xiao Yunzhi listened intently and nodded slightly: "All six of them are cultivators from the Yuling Sect. It's strange. Why aren't they searching for treasures? What are they doing gathered here?"
Before entering the secret realm, Xiao Yunzhi had already had the Blazing Sun Bird memorize the auras of all the cultivators from the four major demonic sects.
After entering the secret realm, she began hunting down cultivators from the four major demonic sects, guided by the Blazing Sun Bird.
She didn't come here to find treasure, she came here to kill!
In just seven or eight days, several Foundation Establishment demon cultivators had died at her hands.
And Kunhu is her next target!
"Whatever they do, I will destroy it!" A fierce glint flashed in Xiao Yunzhi's eyes. "I'll sneak over and take a look!"
But as she approached the valley, she was shocked to discover...
Six cultivators from the Spirit Control Sect had already set up a mysterious formation. Brilliant beams of light shot out from within the formation, bombarding downwards. Amidst the continuous bombardment, a circular passage gleaming with blinding light slowly took shape.
An aura of deathly stillness emanated from the passage, instantly filling the entire valley.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yunzhi's expression changed drastically.
She understood the plan of the six cultivators from the Yuling Sect who had gathered here. It turned out that there was a hidden space within the Qingyun Secret Realm, and the Yuling Sect had somehow found out about it.
Their trip was not for the spiritual materials in the Azure Cloud Secret Realm, but for the treasures in that hidden space.
"We can't let them succeed!"
Seeing that the six members of the Yuling Sect had already entered the hidden space in single file and the white passage was about to close, Xiao Yunzhi did not hesitate for a moment. She quickly transformed into a ball of fire and rushed in before the passage closed.
……
Just as the six members of the Yuling Sect opened the hidden space with the help of the magic array.
Li Ping, who was diligently cultivating in the secret cave, suddenly opened his eyes in surprise and stood up.
……
Just as the six members of the Yuling Sect opened the hidden space with the help of the magic array.
Li Ping, who was diligently cultivating in the secret cave, suddenly opened his eyes in surprise and stood up.
He could sense that the once stable cave was now inexplicably shaking.
"What happened?"
Before he could figure out what had happened, an even bigger shock occurred.
Suddenly, the ground within a radius of tens of miles around the cave cave cracked open, bursting forth with dazzling spiritual light, revealing an incredibly vast and complex magic array.
