37 A traitor forced him to find someone, and a mortal enemy forced him to find grass
Although Ji Chen knew that the difficulty of the secret realm had been reduced, he was not sure how much it had been reduced, so he absorbed twenty pieces of spirit stones before entering.
There are six entrances to the Xuantian Secret Realm, and they are located at the mountain gates of the six major immortal sects.
After all, this is a trial organized by the six major immortal sects, so it is definitely most convenient to set the entrance at their own gates.
Of course, this secret realm is not only open to disciples of their own sects, but also to those casual cultivators who cannot join the sect.
It's just that no one wants to team up with him, so he has to fight alone.
Ji Chen is still wearing the uniform of the Wuji Sect, so he wants to enter from the entrance of the Wuji Sect.
It's not that he wants to find someone to team up with, he hopes that no one will team up with him, so that he can be free and at ease, and not afraid of being discovered.
He was just afraid that he would be stopped if he entered another sect wearing the uniform of the Wuji Sect.
But he didn't want to change his clothes.
The mountain was filled with mist, and Ji Chen slowly walked up the steps of the mountain gate.
From a distance, the Wuji Sect's mountain gate was magnificent, with a white and gold gate towering into the clouds, and even had a kind of momentum of the South Heaven Gate.
However, when Ji Chen arrived at the gate of the Wuji Sect, a group of Wuji Sect disciples saw him and all showed contempt.
"Why hasn't he died yet? Will the Demon Lord let him come back alive?"
"No way, he also wants to enter the Xuantian Secret Realm. What's
the point of a useless person without spiritual roots going in? It's embarrassing!" "Look at him, he just wants to find someone to form a team with him so that he can go in and get some stuff. How shameless, he has the nerve to find someone to lead him when he knows nothing." "
If I were him... Since I left the sect, and the Demon Lord didn't want me, I might as well stay at the foot of the mountain and get married and have children. How much do you want to cultivate immortality? You have to squeeze in with us."
Ji Chen finally felt that someone had spoken to his heart.
He didn't want to enter the sect to cultivate immortality. He really wanted to live a plain life like a mortal, marrying and having children.
But God was not kind and didn't allow it.
A traitor forced him to find someone, and a mortal enemy forced him to find grass.
He was really busy.
The chief elder of the Wuji Sect conjured up a metal disc at the entrance of the mountain. After the disc left his hand, it grew a little bigger and stood in front of everyone, forming a circular door.
Inside the door, there was a vortex of purple light.
The Wuji Sect disciples formed groups of four and entered in a stream.
When they were almost all in, Ji Chen moved to the entrance.
But as soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by the chief elder at the entrance.
"The Wuji Sect has a rule that all disciples of the sect must form a team of four to enter the Xuantian Secret Realm."
When Ji Chen heard this, he began to murmur in his heart: I should have known not to enter from here earlier, who knew there was such a broken rule.
He thought it was voluntary to form a team, but it was forced to form a team.
There are three ways now.
One is to flatter and find a team with three people short of one.
The second is to form a team of unwanted casual cultivators and let him lead the team.
The third is to change the entrance.
Ji Chen first ruled out the third option, because even if he changed the entrance, he might not be able to get in.
As for the first option... Ji Chen did try hard, but after being rejected seven or eight times in a row, he gave up.
That leaves the second option.
Ji Chen began to look for casual cultivators around him.
Coincidentally, he spotted one at first sight.
He was a young man with the same plain appearance as himself, and he was dressed very ordinary, in a black coarse linen shirt, with only a short dagger hanging around his waist, and not even a decent long sword.
It seems that to be able to be a casual cultivator, it must be that his qualifications are not good enough and the sect does not want him.
Ji Chen took the initiative to go up to the other party and greeted him: "Fellow Daoist, what's your name?" The
young man glanced at him and smiled calmly: "Gu Nian Chen."
Nian Chen? Ji Chen: What's the matter, you are so good at naming, are you on the same level as me? Because Ji Chen's sword is called "Nian Chen". Seeing that the other party was quite easy to get along with, Ji Chen also took the initiative to respond: "My name is Ji Chen, I am a disciple of Wuji Sect, and I want to team up with you." "Okay." Gu Nian Chen readily agreed: "I was also worried that there was no one to team up with me. My cultivation and spiritual power are not enough, and I don't dare to go in alone. I have to thank this Taoist for being willing to take me." Generally, people with low cultivation cannot detect whether others have spiritual roots. Therefore, Ji Chen was sure that the other party must be only in the Qi Refining Stage, and had no idea that he had no spiritual roots, so he was willing to form a team with him. Now there were two people missing, and Ji Chen planned to find two more. But until the afternoon, seeing that half of the first day had passed, Ji Chen still hadn't found a second person. The secret realm was open for a total of three days, and half of the first day was gone. Ji Chen himself didn't care, but he was afraid of delaying Gu Nianchen. So he had to give up the idea of forming a team and said to Gu Nianchen: "Why don't you go in alone." Gu Nianchen looked nonchalant: "Wait a little longer." He said: "I'm counting on you to protect me." Ji Chen had no choice but to continue waiting. By the evening, almost all the disciples of the Wuji Sect had gone in, and the outside of the Wei'e Mountain Gate was deserted. Only Ji Chen and Gu Nianchen were left. Ji Chen couldn't wait any longer, but he saw that Gu Nianchen was still leisurely, as if he didn't want to enter this secret realm at all. Finally, figures appeared at the mountain gate again. There were two of them again. The boy walking in front had a baby face, but his posture was a little mature. Ji Chen recognized him at a glance. It was Fu Changgeng. There was another person following behind Fu Changgeng. Ji Chen also knew that person. It was Huang Yuntian. There was no need to say much about Fu Changgeng. He was the master's personal disciple, with a single water spirit root. His qualifications and cultivation were not bad. His swordsmanship... was much higher than that of ordinary disciples.
But Huang Yuntian was obviously not as good as him, but he came from a good family, so he should have brought a lot of good things.
The two seemed to have formed a team, and Fu Changgeng was obviously the team leader.
But they set out so late, and even the people were not all there, which made Ji Chen confused.
Logically speaking, Fu Changgeng must be someone who couldn't form a team.
But now, there were only two people in the team.
Ji Chen didn't care whether he would be rejected by others at this moment, and took the initiative to step forward.
The main reason was that he finally got a "little brother" who looked up to him, and even if he didn't join, he had to let him in.
"Brother Changgeng, it looks like you guys are short of two people, and I have two people here, shall we team up?"
Before Fu Changgeng could say anything, Huang Yuntian took two steps faster and said, "Get out of here, even if we are short of people, we won't team up with you who everyone hates."
Ji Chen didn't care what he said at all, and said, "If you don't team up with us, you two won't be able to get in."
Huang Yuntian had nothing to say, and could only turn around and look at Fu Changgeng beside him to ask for his opinion.
Fu Changgeng still looked absent-minded, and casually said "Let's team up...", and then said nothing more.
Huang Yuntian didn't know what to say.
He looked at the casual cultivator that Ji Chen brought with him, and showed his disdain again: "How come this guy is also a rookie, and dares to enter the secret realm with only the first level of Qi Refining?"
Gu Nianchen did not refute, as if he did not hear it.
"... Still a mute." In the end, Huang Yuntian could only be disappointed.
Finally, Ji Chen successfully formed a team and entered the Xuantian Secret Realm with his teammates.
