Chapter 136 Secret Realm

"What's wrong with him?" Xia Yu'an blinked and asked puzzledly.

He stirred the medicine for Xia Silan.

Xia Silan curled his lips, picked up the medicine bowl with one hand and took a sip: "Nothing, maybe I was shocked."

"Ah? What shocked you?"

He is shocked all the time. Is he studying journalism?

Shock Department?

Xia Silan paused for a moment and explained: "People from Wangxian Sect have learned more or less comprehensively, especially since he is the eldest senior brother."

After hearing this, Xia Yu'an suddenly understood.

The problem must be with this bowl of medicine.

If you study comprehensively, you will definitely understand pharmacology, especially a three-good student like Shen Jianchen.

Maybe pharmacology not only works, but is also good.

From what he said, he thought that between him and his brother, his brother was the dominant one, so he must have thought that he was the one who was pregnant...

But when he heard his brother say "I will drink this medicine", his defense might have been broken.

Uh, man, I don't blame you. This is the first time I know that my reaction is bigger than yours...

The master of the Sword Pavilion, the leader of the Joyous Sect, the young master of the Time City...

Such a proud son of heaven who has attracted the attention of millions of people can actually carry the blood of others in his body.

If I were a stranger, I would be shocked and unbelievable like Shen Jianchen, and doubt my life.

But I am not someone else, I am the partner of such an outstanding person.

So now I am just excited and happy.

.

The secret realm was about to open. Xia Yu'an was making medicine in front of the stove, while Xia Silan was outside killing monsters to earn points for Xia Yu'an.

Xia Yu'an sighed as he fiddled with the fire.

well.

My brother said that he was fine and wanted to move around, so he insisted on going outside to help me with the task.

I was researching delicious food and medicine at home...

Who is the one who needs care?

Is it that my existence is to make my brother worry-free?

Well, be a good wife to your brother!

Xia Yu'an used to dislike the term "virtuous wife", but now she feels it is pretty good.

In fact, the points are already very stable, but maybe my brother can't suppress his anger and wants to kill a few more monsters to vent his anger.

Since I got pregnant, my brother's temper seems to have changed a little, and he has been talking more recently.

Xia Yu'an quite likes this state. He is still happy to chat more with his brother.

Although his brother treated him differently, Xia Silan talked a lot in front of Xia Yu'an.

The secret realm is about to open.

Everyone stood outside the entrance of the secret cave.

The entrance of the cave was shrouded in white mist, which made it seem like a dream and made it difficult to see the truth.

Xia Yu'an looked at the bamboo slips in his hand.

This is the booklet Kunlun gave to everyone. It records some key points about the secret realm, like a travel guide.

There are also tasks assigned by Kunlun to each disciple.

Go look for something called "Secret Yuan".

It is said that there are a lot of secret elements, and the sect would find them useful. We hope that everyone can find at least one piece.

Then hand it in.

As long as you hand over the secret essence, you can pay less for other treasures, and most of them will belong to you.

This is undoubtedly a big attraction.

As for Xia Silan, as the master of the pavilion, he had to look for the secret essence.

That was just perfect. Xia Yu'an was originally curious and wanted to see what was inside the secret realm, and at the same time improve himself and strengthen his strength so that no one in this world could hinder what he wanted to do.

Especially with my brother.

It does not conflict with the search for the secret element and may even be helpful.

.

The secret realm is huge and full of dangers. Xia Yu'an and Xia Silan are standing in a green jungle filled with lush trees.

The spiritual energy here is very abundant. They have been here for ten days.

Their clothes were a little dirty, Xia Yu'an's cuffs were torn, and Xia Silan's clothes were not much better, with several holes in them.

They had just escaped a chase.

It was a monster equivalent to a human in the Mahayana stage, and it had been cultivating in the secret realm for who knows how many years.

Xia Yu'an held a sword in his hand and pushed away the tall grass and trees that were blocking the way.

The monster was as powerful as a Kunlun elder. Although Xia Silan had great physical skills, the two of them still had to put in a lot of effort to kill the monster.

Xia Yu'an felt a little tired, but also had a sense of relief at surviving a disaster. He and Xia Silan looked at each other, and both of them smiled with relief.

Xia Yu'an lifted up the demon pill and handed it to Xia Silan: "Brother, you eat it."

Xia Silan: "This demon pill has a strong demonic fragrance, which is very beneficial to cultivation. An'er, you will benefit more from it than I will."

Xia Yu'an smiled and shook his fingers: "No, no, brother, you forgot, in terms of cultivation, there is another person who needs him more than I do."

They both looked down and smiled.

Xia Silan no longer insisted. He lowered his head. Xia Yu'an then raised the demon pill and Xia Silan opened his mouth and took it in.

My brother has beautiful lips. When leaving, Xia Yuan's fingers accidentally touched his soft lips.

Xia Yu'an rubbed her fingers gently, was stunned, and her ears turned red.

Xia Yuan raised his head and looked ahead: "Where are we going next?"

Xia Silan opened the booklet Kunlun had given him: "We are almost there, close to the nearest secret element marker."

"Then let's go!"

Both of them looked somewhat cautious.

Because of these days, the secret realm was extremely dangerous. Not only did they encounter various monsters, but they also encountered dangerous people!

Each sect has its own agenda, but everyone is equal in the face of interests.

Some people were able to maintain their superficial decency, but some, faced with the temptation of huge treasures, could not help but tear their faces apart, and staged a drama of intrigue, struggle and betrayal.

Xia Yu'an's evaluation is: People are more difficult to deal with than monsters.

Xia Yuan sighed.

Those from each sect who can enter the secret realm are naturally selected. These people not only have great cultivation, but are also smarter and more scheming than the monsters.

When fighting a monster, you just need to focus on the attack, but when fighting a person, there are many things to consider.

This is also the reason why he and his brother were covered in dust and dirt for so many days.

Fortunately, my brother is strong enough, and the two of them are each other's strongest allies.

Never betray.

He and his brother can always rely on each other!

This is their most incomparable advantage compared to others!

But, of course, the fact that Gao Sen was safe and sound for so many days and could make his pillow worry-free at night was all thanks to his brother's superb cultivation.

Strength is the only truth!

.

Three days later.

Miyuan Zong Temple.

Most people’s goal is to obtain the secret essence, so naturally a large number of people come here.

After a series of life-and-death battles, the group finally broke the seal and entered the temple.

Amid the ruins of the temple, Xia Yuan bent over and panted.

There are forbidden mechanisms left by the masters of the past, which are very difficult to break. Some people use brute force, some use wits, and some have to deal with attacks and harassment from others at the same time, but they finally got in.

Xia Yuan held his chin and observed for a while.

Less than ten people came in.

This means that the restrictions in this place are extremely strong, and those who come here are people with unique skills.

Each one should not be underestimated.

Xia Yu'an discovered that there was a special stone in a corner of this place.

This stone is smooth and round, full of spiritual energy, which makes people can't help but look sideways.

When it comes to material, Xia Yu'an can only think of Nuwa's Sky-Repairing Stone, which may be comparable to it.

"This stone..." Xia Silan was also observing it.

"It's flashing red." Xia Yu'an said.

What does this mean?

The two of them became serious.

"I feel like something is pulling me in," they both said at the same time.

Xia Yu'an and Xia Silan looked at each other.

"Three Lives Stone, Three Lives Stone!" At this time, someone roared.

Three Lives Stone?

"Legend has it that touching this stone can reveal one's past and present lives!"

"What was my past life like? I'm a little curious! Was I a businessman who was rich enough to rival a country, or was I still a cultivator? To what extent did I cultivate? Did I ascend to heaven? Hahahaha!"

"Stop dreaming. If you have become an immortal, why are you still here?" someone poured cold water on him.

"Maybe it's due to some karma..." the man tried to save face.

"But now this stone is glowing red! It's rare to see this in a million years... No, maybe no one has ever seen it!... This means..." someone exclaimed.

"Explain what?"

"Everything in the Three Realms is reincarnated, and everything has cause and effect. If the two people present have a deep past relationship, dating back three lives, the stone will emit a red light. If you enter the Three Lives Stone at this moment, you will see the story that the two of them share."

"Because the conditions are harsh, first, it requires a three-life relationship, and second, two people must be present at the same time, so I have only heard of it, but never seen it."

Xia Yu'an couldn't help but look at Xia Silan. When their eyes met, there was curiosity and excitement in their eyes.

What on earth had she and her brother experienced? Xia Yuan wanted to see it right away.

Xia Silan held Xia Yu'an's hand, exerting a little force.

"Oh! What a pity! Now we can't go in unless these two people go in first." Someone sighed.

What happened in their past lives? Xia Yu'an was a little nervous, with sweat oozing out of his palms, but Xia Silan's actions made Xia Yu'an relax a little.

"Hehehe..." At this time, a burst of empty laughter came from the sky.

"Everyone, you didn't disappoint me." A masked man in black appeared in front of everyone.

He stood on a stone opposite the crowd, completely covered by a silver-black mask, and no one could see his expression clearly.

"Everyone wants to find the secret essence, but to successfully enter, you need to have a certain level of strength."

"One, two, three... eight."

"Not one less."

The man in black hadn't finished speaking.

"What are you talking about?" someone asked loudly.

"What are you talking about? Don't you understand? Please exercise the spirits in your body and maybe you can get a glimpse of it."

When people heard this, they all began to regulate their internal breath.

"I, I'm poisoned!" a man screamed.

"What on earth have you done, you old man? You're playing tricks on me!"

"Give me the antidote!"

"Stop arguing. He is the one who poisoned you. How can he give you the antidote?" someone said coldly.

But a few people remained silent.

Even turned around and wanted to leave.

Xia Yu'an stood beside Xia Silan, observing everything calmly.

He probed into his own internal breath and found that he was not poisoned!

Instead, there is an additional abundant aura that does not belong to me!

Although it was floating around, Xia Yu'an was sure that this spiritual energy was harmless!

What happened? Not everyone was poisoned?

The two looked at each other, and Xia Silan nodded silently.

My brother was also poisoned?

Xia Yuan lowered his eyes.

Judging from the performance of the other six people present, it doesn’t seem like they were all poisoned!

Some people looked panicked, while others were unusually calm. No, they were not calm, but wanted to escape...

So, what happened to those who were not poisoned? I'm afraid it's not that simple!

Just like the extra spiritual energy in my body that doesn't belong to me...

Xia Yu'an guessed that this spiritual energy was also related to the poison!

Or even...

You may need this spiritual energy to detoxify!

"Fuck your mother, what on earth do you want!" someone cursed.

"I want to play a game with you." said the man in black.

"What? Games? Damn, playing games in a place like this, do you think it's just playing house?"

"Everyone, calm down and listen to what he has to say." Shen Jianchen was also present, and he stood up and said.

"Everyone present here is a participant in the game, and the entire six realms are the game stage."

"Six realms? Do you think you are the Tathagata Buddha? The person who can control the six realms does not exist yet!"

The man ignored the complaints of others and continued, "I think you have already discovered that some people are poisoned and some are not."

"Damn it, what's the reason? We are all together, how come some people are poisoned and some are not?"

“Is this still a lottery?”

"What do you want to do?"

The man in black spoke slowly and calmly: "There are eight people present, all of them are leaders or elites of a certain faction. Four of them have been poisoned, they are hunters."

The man in black paused and said, "The four of them have the antidote. They are prey."

Instantly, four vicious and complicated gazes shot towards the others, and Xia Yu'an felt as if a thorn in his back.

Sure enough, my guess was correct.

It turns out that the situation for those who are not poisoned is not that simple. They are even at a disadvantage compared to those who are poisoned.

"Then why don't we just give them the antidote?" said a person who was not poisoned.

He seemed to be a man of high moral character, and seemed to come from a prominent family like Shen Jianchen, with a distinguished temperament.

"Of course it's not that simple. The pure energy in your body cannot be removed or stripped away. Only by drinking your blood and eating your flesh can I cure the hunter's poison."

The man in black laughed and said, "You are all local heroes. This game will last indefinitely, but the poison will attack once a month. Only drinking blood can alleviate it. If it attacks ten times, you will die suddenly."

"Is that all? If it's a game, what if you win? What's the reward for winning?"

"This clear air is also the key. Each one corresponds to a treasure chest. If the hunter takes it, it belongs to the hunter. But if the prey successfully fights back and finds the treasure chest, it becomes the prey's."

“Whether you are a prey hunter or not, if you collect all four keys, you will get the ultimate prize - the Supreme Method.”

"So, the secret element is the secret key. The secret element is just a cover." Xia Silan's voice was cold, his eyes showing deep thought.

"As expected of the Sword Master, you think too much." The man in black said, "However, I advise you not to pursue the matter and just enjoy the game."

"Yes! What kind of force is able to deceive so many sects?"

Xia Yu'an: "Since he said so, he must be confident that he won't be discovered."

However, my brother is worthy of being my brother, he has clear ideas.

He pointed out the other party's tactics and conspiracy in a very direct way.

Although we can't find out the other party's background for the time being, they will not give up! We will take it step by step.

However, in this situation, Xia Yu'an's only worry is...

Xia Yu'an looked at Xia Silan's lower abdomen.

The worry hidden deep in his eyes flashed across his face.

Fortunately, fortunately my brother is not the prey.

Otherwise, I don’t know how many people will harm me.

I just don’t know if the poison will have any effect on the baby?

At this moment, a loud shout interrupted Xia Yu'an's thoughts.

"I don't care if you're poisonous or not, I'm going to kill you first!" After saying that, the man took the first move, and then several others followed suit out of anger.

However, amid the flash of swords and shadows, the man in black remained intact.

Instead, he used some unknown trick to beat them back to their original positions.

Everyone was panting, their eyes were bloodshot, and they stared at the man in black unwillingly, but no one came forward.

"Everyone, remember, everyone leads a force, and it is completely allowed to use force to defeat the opponent during the seizure." After saying that, the man in black disappeared.

The eight people present looked at each other, and the atmosphere gradually became strange.

The shared hatred for a common enemy just now, but their eyes gradually became complicated.

One of the "prey" silently tried to leave.

"Stop! Where are you going?" a "hunter" shouted with a sword in hand.

The other hunters reacted and said they couldn't let them go!

The people present were in chaos and fighting.

Xia Yu'an held the sword and stood in front of his brother. In a hurry, suddenly, a red light shot out from behind and enveloped Xia Yu'an and Xia Silan's bodies.

"It's the Three-Life Stone!"

Xia Yu'an had no time to react and was pulled into the world of the San Sheng Stone along with Xia Silan.
