Time seems to favor Fang Ruotang.
The Tianyi Sect, a makeshift organization, had just managed to sort things out a little when the secret realm opened. Fang Ruotang was the first to enter the secret realm, but she immediately shocked everyone around her who knew her.
They all told her at once.
"Sect Master Fang, this is not advisable. Your cultivation level is too high. Even if you manage to enter, you will be kicked out of the secret realm."
“I can go in! I’m not restricted.” Fang Ruotang knew that Sect Leader Zhuang meant well, and replied with a smile.
Sect Master Zhuang was stunned for a moment, as this was the first time he had ever heard of someone being able to ignore the restrictions of a secret realm.
Before they could react, Fang Ruotang flew directly into the secret realm.
"What happened?"
"This... there must be some method we don't know about, right?"
The Grand Elder of the Heavenly Evolution Array Sect was also completely bewildered.
The couple personally brought their sect disciples here because Fang Ruotang was here. However, before they could exchange more than a few words, Sect Leader Fang stepped inside to prove that she was qualified to enter the secret realm.
Compared to their stunned reaction, Gu Yanjin and her six companions were completely caught off guard. How could their daughter-in-law, who was already quite grown up, disappear after exchanging a few words with someone?
Looking at the Immortal Binding Rope was like watching it mock them.
They heard from the little mirror that the teleportation location was random; even if members of the same sect entered together, they might not necessarily be teleported to the same place.
Therefore, once each sect enters the secret realm, the first thing they do is contact each other via talismans to find the senior brothers and sisters who lead the sect.
They didn't want to be separated from Fang Ruotang, so they thought of tying the seven of them together before entering the secret realm. However, this method wasn't very presentable, so they discussed waiting until all the disciples had left before entering.
And then... it became what it is now.
With Fang Ruotang absent, Huo Zhige and the other six had no intention of binding themselves together. They immediately returned the Binding Immortal Rope to the little mirror and entered the secret realm together.
Fang Ruotang was the first to enter the secret realm.
She heard from the little mirror that a cultivator had once fallen right into the mouth of a demon and been swallowed whole.
It was a classic case of landing and immediately being eliminated.
But she was quite lucky; her landing spot was a sea of flowers, a very pleasant sight. She admired it for a moment before suddenly turning around to look around.
What about her six little followers?
Why didn't anyone follow? What happened?
The little mirror silently replayed Fang Ruotang's actions in her mind. Fang Ruotang immediately stopped looking for anyone and instead looked inquisitively at the sea of flowers in front of her.
What are these flowers used for?
[It can induce a hallucination.]
[Hmm, why do the flowers in the Cloud Recesses Continent so easily cause people to fall into illusions? Is that their only function?]
No, there are significant differences between different illusions; some contain violence, some lust, and all sorts of other elements.
What about this area?
[Slaughter.]
[Tsk!]
Fang Ruotang pouted; she had thought she was very lucky!
Little did anyone expect that beneath the beautiful scenery lay a deadly massacre.
What should I do now? Should I go straight for the Azure Dragon's power?
Fang Ruotang knew in advance that this secret realm was a mysterious and dangerous ancient tomb guarded by the Azure Dragon.
It contains countless treasures, but also numerous traps. Cultivators who enter the secret realm must solve these traps in order to find the treasures of the ancient tomb.
It was precisely because of the wealth inside that Fang Ruotang wanted all the disciples of the sect to participate. Any cultivator who managed to clear the secret realm and emerge alive would have a fuller wallet and would no longer lack resources to improve their cultivation in the short term.
Moreover, the guardian of this secret realm is the ancient and mysterious Azure Dragon. If one can inherit the power of the Azure Dragon, it is equivalent to ascending to heaven in one step.
[You're not lacking in the power of the Azure Dragon. Besides, the Azure Dragon is one of the four ancient auspicious beasts. Obtaining its power comes with the responsibility of bringing blessings to all living beings. Rather than taking this power and doing all the work yourself, you'd be better off recruiting cultivators who pass the trials and obtain this powerful force.]
Fang Ruotang nodded, agreeing.
Anyway, she was the same way in Dayong; otherwise, with just her two hands and one person, how could she possibly save so many people?
Then she thought for a moment and summoned Da Mei.
As soon as Da Mei came out, she immediately spread her wings, hugged Fang Ruotang, and cried loudly.
“Master, I don’t want to stay in the spirit beast pouch anymore. Let me stay outside with you from now on! I can chat with you and help you with chores. When you eat wild game, I can even start a fire for you. Trust me, I can now control the size of the flames and I will never burn your prey again.”
Fang Ruotang was puzzled.
"Isn't it better to cultivate in the spirit beast pouch?"
"No, it's so stuffy!"
It's not a demonic beast that loves cultivation.
If it truly loved cultivation, it wouldn't have stayed at the Beast Taming Sect for three hundred years for such a ridiculous revenge.
"Fine! Come out if you want!" Fang Ruotang didn't care. Anyway, Da Mei had wings and didn't need her to carry her. She could come out whenever she wanted.
"Master, you're so good to me." Da Mei buried her head in Fang Ruotang's arms, snuggled up to him for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Master, why do you smell so bad?"
You're the one who stinks!
Fang Ruotang's expression changed, and she pushed Da Mei away.
How could a grown woman like her accept someone saying she smelled bad?
"No, Master, it really stinks!" Da Mei, with her tiny, bean-like eyes, was completely oblivious to social cues. After sniffing around, she suddenly spoke up before Fang Ruotang could scold her.
"Master, it smells like a stinky dragon."
Fang Ruotang swallowed her curse words quickly and said speechlessly, "This is an ancient tomb guarded by the Azure Dragon, so it's bound to have the Azure Dragon's scent!"
"No wonder it smelled so bad!"
Da Mei exaggeratedly covered her small head with her wings, burying her entire head inside her body.
"No, I thought you and the Azure Dragon were close, so I specially invited you out to play! We mortals have many idioms related to dragons and phoenixes. Don't you two get along? In our mortal eyes, dragons and phoenixes are a pair!"
Da Mei was stunned.
“We are sworn enemies, how can we be a pair? Besides, we are different species. We are the Phoenix clan, the Phoenix is male and the Phoenix is female. What does it have to do with the dragon? It’s strange that you mortals are forcing two males to be paired together.”
Fang Ruotang blinked.
That's how the knowledge we learn from elementary school is anyway.
But upon closer examination...
Okay! That's strange.
Especially when a couple gets married, they like to say that the dragon and phoenix bring good fortune and a happy marriage.
When they have a son and a daughter, they also like to say they are twins.
"Master, something's wrong, it's getting smellier and smellier, can you smell it?" Da Mei's fur stood on end.
Fang Ruotang glanced at it silently, then looked ahead and saw a man suddenly walk out. He was dressed in green, with handsome features and a refined, elegant appearance.
"My lord, it's the Azure Dragon! Capture it quickly!"
You didn't say that just now.
Times change, so there's no need to go looking for it, but if it comes to us, we shouldn't refuse it.
