Chapter 48 Chapter 48 The leader of the Demon Sect, his surname is Lu?
Soon, Qin Zhou heard a lot of information about the secret realm in the inn.
At least the eight hundred spirit stones per night were worth it.
Regarding the secret realm, most cultivators have two things to say about it. First, it does have unheard-of treasures, but at the same time, it is also accompanied by the danger of losing one's soul.
In every thousand years in the secret realm, there are always people who survive because they are not greedy enough. Although they warned everyone, every thousand years, the cultivators who came to the boundary city still rushed forward one after another, fearing that they would not be able to grab a mouthful of soup.
The people who come to Jie City can be roughly divided into three types: disciples from various righteous sects, magic cultivators from the evil sects, and independent cultivators who come to see if they can fish in troubled waters to gain some benefits.
The independent cultivators were the first to come to Jiecheng. When the secret realm was about to open, the cultivators from the major sects and the Demon Sect would go out.
The righteous cannot tolerate the evil cultivators, and the evil cultivators cannot stand the righteous. The two are incompatible and will fight as soon as they meet.
It's not just for the treasures in the secret realm, but also for the fight for territory.
Whichever side suffers more casualties, it will be easier to fight for territory in the future.
Although the spiritual energy in the upper world is abundant, the concentration of spiritual energy varies from region to region. Powerful sects can often occupy places with higher concentrations of regional spiritual energy as their bases. Small sects have low strength and few disciples, so the places they can choose are limited.
There has been constant friction between the good and evil forces over territory.
Fighting for treasures in a secret realm provides an opportunity for a fight.
This secret place has never been lost for thousands of years, and over time it has gradually developed into a big stage for the fight between good and evil.
"I heard that this year the Righteous Path united eighteen major sects to crush the Demon Sect in the secret realm."
"It's not easy to kill the Demon Sect... The Demon Sect leader is very powerful, if he could be killed, he would have been killed long ago. Now the Demon Sect has ruled the land and occupied almost one-third of the territory. Who dares to provoke Erfen?"
"As the leader of the righteous sect, the Sword Sect is really doing nothing. If the Demon Sect is allowed to continue to develop like this, the world of immortal cultivation will be doomed sooner or later."
"In fact, there is no such thing as righteous or righteous, or whether one is a demon or not. They all want to improve their own cultivation, whether it is to seize territory or this secret realm."
"That's not the case. The Sword Sect has the Cang Yun Sword Immortal, and the Demon Sect has the Supreme Sect Master. They are all ancestors of the same era. If they really fight, the world of immortal cultivation will be over."
"Who is Cang Yun Sword Immortal? The Demon Sect's Grand Master can't beat him, right?"
Qin Zhou sat in the corner of the inn lobby, listening to everyone chatting, and suddenly felt that several of the names they mentioned sounded familiar. He seemed to have heard some secrets from Wen Jue.
The Cang Yun Sword Immortal of the Cang Yun Sword Sect had an affair with the Demon Sect's Supreme Sect Master in his early years.
She also gave birth to a son.
Qin Zhou thought, it is indeed a secret. If this matter were to get out, the world of immortal cultivation might be in chaos.
"The Demon Sect's Grand Master may not be able to defeat the Cang Yun Sword Immortal, but he still has a demon brother!"
"The number one devil on the Tongtian Ranking, are you kidding me?"
Tongtianbang, these three words made Qin Zhou prick up his ears.
Of course, he knew what the Tongtian Ranking was. It was the ranking of the combat power of the characters in the game. And this ranking, of course, did not refer to the ranking of his Zhutian Village.
As a rare "cross-server" mechanism in an almost stand-alone game, the Tongtian Ranking is a ranking list that can be signed up by the village chiefs of countless small mountain villages.
The opening cycle of the Tongtian Arena is based on the real-world time.
As contestants, the villagers from each group will enter a place called Tongtian Arena to compete, and the final winner will be the number one on the Tongtian list.
When Qin Zhou was still playing the game, the hundred people of the Lu family in Zhutian Village occupied the top 100 of the Tongtian list, but almost all of the top 10 were his villagers, and Lu Yi was the consecutive number one on the Tongtian list.
The rewards of Tongtian Arena are very generous. Many of the top-quality props and treasures in Qinzhou’s warehouse are opened from the boxes given by the Tongtian Ranking.
Suddenly hearing the word "Tongtianbang" here brought back many memories for him.
"Senior, what is the Tongtian Ranking?" Shen Yun asked him in a low voice.
Qin Zhou glanced at him and asked, "Aren't you from the upper realm?"
"Is this something that people from the upper realm must know?" Shen Yun touched his nose. "Maybe because I have been staying in the mountains and playing with spirit beasts for many years, I am ignorant?"
“It’s not strange that you don’t know.” A casual cultivator suddenly said with a smile, “Number one on the Tongtian Ranking is just a description. It was passed down thousands of years ago and is a title that belongs exclusively to that great devil. What Tongtian Ranking is? If you really ask, there aren’t many people who know about it. We only have a vague idea of it.”
"Oh, so that's how it is. Thank you for clearing up my confusion, senior." Shen Yun smiled politely.
Qin Zhou didn't say anything.
He had only played the game for eight years, and when he logged off, the save files were only about a thousand years old. After taking the college entrance exam, when he wanted to log in again, the game had already been shut down due to poor management.
I don't know how fast time flows in this game after he leaves the game. But Qin Zhou just thinks about it and feels that ten thousand years is really a long time.
After all, even Lu Yi had changed from a disciple of the Cang Yun Sword Sect to a casual cultivator.
The rotation of the first place on the Tongtian Ranking doesn't seem to be something unacceptable.
Qin Zhou tried to convince himself in this way.
At this moment, Qin Zhou heard a casual cultivator at the door shouting:
"The secret realm is coming!!"
A group of people who were originally chatting immediately swarmed over.
Shen Yun and Qin Zhou naturally stood up and walked to the door.
A few kilometers east of Jiecheng, a boiling golden light shot up into the sky, and majestic spiritual energy quickly spread out with this beam of light as the center.
"We've finally arrived. Let's go first, everyone." Upon seeing this, many people immediately flew up on their swords and left first.
"Here it comes, finally!"
In an instant, all the wandering cultivators in the inn ran away.
Seeing that everyone had run away, only Shen Yun and Qin Zhou were left who hadn't reacted yet. The proprietress poured herself a cup of tea slowly, "You're looking for death pretty quickly."
Shen Yun was surprised when he heard this, "Looking for death? Isn't it that the one who goes in first gets the treasure first?"
The proprietress was stunned for a moment and rolled her eyes speechlessly, "You kid, do you think that secret place is your warehouse? Whoever goes in first can choose first?"
Shen Yun scratched his head, "I..."
That's right. I've said that there are treasures and dangers in secret realms.
"You'd better not join in the fun, kid at the Jindan stage." The proprietress' eyes darkened. "Anyway, I've been running the inn in Jiecheng for such a long time, and with the treasures of my ancestors... for thousands of years, I haven't seen anyone walk out of the secret realm alive with the treasure."
"One, not even one?" Shen Yun was surprised.
"Of course, some people have obtained treasures. There are rare items among them, but as for the legendary things... the greedy people died and the non-greedy people didn't dare to take them." The proprietress shook her head, "I don't know how many people died."
"I'm leaving. Goodbye." Qin Zhou said, turned around and left the inn.
Only then did Shen Yun realize that these three words were Qin Zhou saying goodbye to him?
"senior……"
Shen Yun looked around, hesitated for a second, and when he chased out to look again, Qin Zhou had disappeared.
The senior is gone.
In Shen Yun's heart, he had already regarded Qin Zhou as a senior whose cultivation had been suppressed by him.
"Xiao Que, the senior seems to really think of me as a burden and doesn't even want to take me with him." Shen Yun touched Xiao Feng Que's head, "I should have shown off my skills in front of the senior earlier."
Although he is only in the Jindan stage, he does have some strength.
"Well, separation is for the sake of next reunion. Let's go to the secret realm and take a look. Maybe we can take the opportunity to repay the kindness of the senior who let us stay overnight."
“Chirp.”
"Let's go."
…
When Qin Zhou arrived at the open space where the golden light of the secret realm was, it was already densely packed with people.
Flying in the sky and standing on the ground.
It's just like standing at the entrance of a dungeon waiting for the portal to open when playing games in the past.
But now, what you see is real.
Qin Zhou could hardly see any cultivators with a cultivation level similar to his own. When he looked up, he saw people whose cultivation levels he could not judge from their spiritual energy alone. These people were at least in the late Jindan or Yuanying stages.
Most of the people present were independent cultivators, and there were almost no groups. Occasionally, there were acquaintances, but they would form groups of three or two.
The independent cultivators have nothing to do and are the first to arrive.
There was no point in coming early. From the information he had gathered in the past two days, there were many sects in the upper realm. Although independent cultivators accounted for a large proportion of the total number, they were all scattered like sand.
The treasures that appear in the secret realm are only eligible to be competed for by the strong ones from the big sects or the demon sects.
"The people from the Demon Sect are coming!"
"The Sword Sect has also arrived!"
Two voices passed through Qin Zhou's ears almost at the same time.
He raised his eyes and looked.
The two sides fell down in groups from the east and west, like heavenly soldiers and generals.
On the Sword Sect side, the Sect Master was in the lead, standing with his hands behind his back.
The disciples behind him were dressed in uniform, their white clothes were stained with some ink black, and they were neatly arranged, all with swords on their backs, and their expressions were solemn and serious. The sense of oppression was extremely strong.
The Demon Sect’s momentum is also quite strong.
The Nascent Soul experts were surrounding them, and the leader of the Demon Sect was sitting on a beast sedan chair, surrounded by the crowd. It seemed that one could hear the demon cultivators' disdainful laughter at the righteous sect.
The leader of the Sword Sect stood at the front, while the leader of the Demon Sect was surrounded in the middle. This kind of positioning seemed to make people feel the difference between the righteous sect and the demon sect.
The Sword Sect is the leader of the righteous path. Once the sword is unsheathed, all the sects will bow down to him.
The Demon Sect respects the strong, and the Sect Master has been sitting firmly in that position for thousands of years.
"This secret realm hasn't even been opened yet, and the Demon Sect's leader has come in person!"
"Isn't it the same for the Sword Sect?"
A light laugh suddenly came from the beast chariot of the Demon Sect.
"The Sword Sect has arrived so quickly. But it's really strange, why are you here alone? Did your Righteous Alliance forget to send you an invitation this year?"
The disciples of the Sword Sect: "..."
Obviously, this silence is not that simple.
In the past, as the leader of the righteous path, the Sword Sect was naturally the undisputed leader of the Righteous Alliance.
But this time, something seemed different.
The Sword Sect did not show up with other righteous sects.
"As long as you believe in righteousness in your heart, you are a member of the Righteous Alliance." The Sword Sect leader spoke in a steady voice, as if he was not affected by Lu Xiao's provocation.
Although he looked calm, the Sword Sect leader was already feeling unstable.
Lu Xiao was surrounded by powerful warriors, but he never saw the figure of Junior Brother Jiang Huan.
I haven't received any letters from Junior Brother Jiang Huan for a while, and I was afraid something might have happened. But now it seems that...
"Well said." Lu Xiao clapped his hands, "I agree with what the Sword Sect leader said."
Seeing this, the demon cultivators also clapped their hands.
Anyway, whatever the leader says is what happens.
"Lu Xiao! Are you laughing at us?" Some of the Sword Sect's disciples also lost their patience.
Lu Xiao:?
He was clearly agreeing!
Where is the ridicule?
"No need to say more to him." The Sword Sect leader's face had turned dark.
If Lu Xiao really wanted to kill Junior Brother Jiang Huan, he would use all his strength today to kill Lu Xiao and avenge his Junior Brother.
"The sect leader is indeed a man of great principles." Lu Xiao said with true emotion.
Qin Zhou was listening from a distance.
There is only one thing that feels strange.
The leader of the Demon Sect, his surname is Lu?
Lu Xiao. Qin Zhou repeated it silently in his heart, and suddenly remembered the secret again -
The Cang Yun Sword Immortal of the Cang Yun Sword Sect had an affair with the Demon Sect's Supreme Sect Master in his early years.
Gave birth to a son.
Yes, his last name is Lu.
After a while, Qin Zhou heard someone beside him say -
"Look, people from the Righteous Alliance are here too."
When he looked up, he saw a huge group of people flying from afar and landing in the open space.
They were dressed differently, but all had extraordinary temperament.
