Three years ago, he was the young master of the most prominent family in the capital, but due to his grandfather's superstition, he was sent to a Taoist temple where he suffered hardship yet ma...
Lin Ruchu sensed the fluctuations in the surrounding space.
"Stay here, all of you!"
He let out a low growl and gave chase.
Lin Jinglong felt somewhat lost.
"Qian Fuhai? How did you get out?"
"We are trapped in this pitch-black place. There is only a very narrow slit through which I can release a little power. Our voices are also transmitted through this slit."
"Can you control this gap?"
Lin Jinglong was extremely surprised.
Didn't Qian Fuhai and the others enter the Holy Realm?
It's strange that it can project its power outwards, yet its physical body cannot escape from that space.
Just like the explorers who have traveled to and from the sacred realm over the years, they will eventually get lost in that dark space.
Lin Jinglong's question was quickly answered.
As Lin Ruchu chased after him, it was Qian Fuhai's power that grabbed his shoulder, instantly teleporting Lin Jinglong to the entrance of the Holy Realm Cave.
This is true teleportation, ignoring spatial distance!
After several transfers, including Situ Zhentian, they were all forcibly captured by Qian Fuhai alone and taken outside the Holy Realm.
"Once you get out, remember to find a way to rescue us. It's so dark and cold in here..."
Qian Fuhai's voice was very distressed.
Originally, they came to explore the sacred realm, but who knew that they would be frightened into that strange space by Old Drunkard, which made it impossible for them to get out, and they were also being watched by the Lin family's Celestial Ancestor.
They finally met Lin Jinglong.
This is the only person who has a chance to save them.
Qian Fuhai was willing to expose the spatial rift he was in in order to rescue Lin Jinglong and give him hope of rescuing them.
After leaving the Holy Realm, Lin Jinglong and Situ Zhentian looked at each other in disbelief. Had they really escaped?
Furthermore, Qian Fuhai's voice completely disappeared.
Lin Ruchu did not continue to chase after them.
"Lin Ruchu's target has now become someone from the Qian family. We can use this as an excuse to escape!"
Lin Jinglong sighed.
They escaped the Holy Realm together with Situ Zhentian.
Soon they saw the people that Ge Ling'er had transferred away, as well as Situ Xue being supported by Feng Peng.
"You two actually managed to escape?"
Ge Ling'er was somewhat surprised.
Lin Jinglong couldn't explain much.
Qian Fuhai's current strange state is like that of a ghost, and cannot be understood in words at all.
Meanwhile, inside the Sacred Cave at this time...
Lin Ruchu stood still, and Old Zui, dressed in a tattered Taoist robe, appeared beside him, both with mysterious expressions on their faces.
"So the Qian family has been hiding nearby all this time, but they weren't in the same space as us. I see..."
Lin Ruchu watched as Qian Fuhai transferred Lin Jinglong, helping them escape from the Holy Realm space, which confirmed many of his suspicions.
His face showed no sign of frustration at failure.
On the contrary, I felt a sense of joy!
Old Zui nodded.
He looked around and said calmly, "Qian Fuhai, now that you've been exposed, why don't you come over for a chat?"
"Nonsense! You liar, you pretended to be an ancient immortal and occupied this sacred grotto, but I have already controlled this rift, and you can't get in at all."
Qian Fuhai was on the verge of cursing.
"Besides, this place is pitch black and there's nothing here. Our people are hiding here, cold and hungry. Why do you insist on coming in?"
"wrong!"
Lin Ruchu gave a cold smile.
He sensed the existence of that spatial rift.
But Qian Fuhai kept avoiding him, making it impossible for him to get close, so he simply picked up two stones from the ground.
"Qian Fuhai, the place you are in is not a true holy land. You have a huge misunderstanding about this place!"
What do you mean by that?
Qian Fuhai was very puzzled.
"Hmph, the Qian family prides themselves on being a family of treasures, but in reality they are short-sighted and know too little about these ancient secrets."
Lin Ruchu held a stone in each hand.
"What do you think would happen if I forcibly merged these two stones together?"
"Naturally, both stones will shatter!"
Qian Fuhai's voice came from afar.
But Lin Ruchu shook her head.
"The stones will indeed shatter, but this unique sacred realm is not like these two stones. In fact, there are two sacred spaces in total, which were fused into one by an ancient powerful being using immortal techniques, and they are two sides of the same coin!"
Qian Fuhai was clearly shocked. After a moment of stunned silence, he asked in astonishment, "Then where is the Qian family now?"
"Although the two spaces have merged into one, forming two realms, they are not completely seamless. The dark void where you are is naturally the gap between the two spaces."
After several encounters with him, and combining this with more ancient secrets she had uncovered, Lin Ruchu finally discovered the true secret of this sacred land in the southern border region.
Qian Fuhai was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Lin Ruchu, however, revealed a haughty smile.
"In the past five thousand years, only I, Lin Ruchu, have truly explored the mysteries of this sacred realm. The martial artists and cultivators who have traveled here in the past are far inferior to me, Lin Ruchu!"
Even the ancient cultivator Lao Zui had to admit it.
"You're really something. But what do you think is hidden inside that true sacred cave? Could it really be the legendary fairyland?"
Old Zui also became curious.
"And more importantly, even with the Qian family's good fortune, they only managed to enter two spatial rifts. How are we supposed to enter the true Holy Realm?"
Lin Ruchu listened to his question.
His eyes flashed, and he darted into the central palace, the place where he had been living in seclusion for some time. Old Zui followed him inside.
All that could be seen was a black line stretching across the main hall.
It floats in the air, sometimes visible, sometimes not.
It was an extremely thin thread, which was actually another spatial rift. In essence, it was no different from the rift where Qian Fuhai and the other members of the Qian clan were located, but it was not large enough to allow him to enter the gap between the two spaces.
"I originally thought that this crack was the passage to the true holy realm, and that it would require an extremely strong force to widen the crack and open the passage in."
"But after seeing Qian Fuhai take action, I realized that my previous thinking was wrong. After all, they found another rift, but they did not really enter the Holy Realm. Instead, they were trapped in the gap between the two spaces."
"There is only one way to truly enter the Holy Realm: to use supreme power to create heaven and earth!"
“Take that hidden, true sacred place from the space we are in now!”
Old Zui nodded thoughtfully.
"Do you have a way to do that?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruchu revealed a mysterious smile.
"In fact, we have stumbled upon a way to separate the two spaces by accident. That is to use the blood sacrifice array that has been set up in Tianbao City for a year, using the blood and life force of millions of people as fuel, and my celestial body as the hub, to forcibly open up the two spaces!"
