“You just said that you have a way to send me out of the Black Ya Realm safely. So, do you have a way to send me to the Heavenly Secret Realm?” Yun Che asked.
"Heavenly Secret Realm?" Ji Ruyan asked in surprise, "Sir, are you going to seek intelligence, or find something? If possible, can you tell Ruyan first? The strongest point of the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce is its intelligence capability. Perhaps... there is no need to go to the distant Heavenly Secret Realm. Ruyan can help."
Yun Che hesitated slightly and said, “I want to find the Nine-Star Buddha Jade and the Imperial Immortal Grass.”
“…” Ji Ruyan was startled, but to Yun Che’s surprise, she did not say anything like “impossible”. Instead, she said after a brief silence, “Ruyan will try to find these two rare items, but the hope is slim. If nothing is found in the end, going to the Heavenly Secret Realm is indeed the best choice. However, since you have this pursuit, you must come back alive from the Soul Sect… Ruyan still hopes that you can be more rational and retreat when you know it’s difficult.”
"Is the Heavenly Secret Realm really that magical?" Yun Che frowned. The old man had also said that once you reach the Heavenly Secret Realm, as long as you can afford the profound stones, you will definitely not return disappointed.
"The name 'Tianji' of Tianji Realm is by no means an empty word." Ji Ruyan said: "It is also the only star realm that is highly respected by all the king realms."
“Could it be that the people there can really see through the secrets of heaven?” Yun Che curled his lips slightly.
"The Tianji Realm has made several major prophecies in history, and all of them have come true." Ji Ruyan said: "No matter what information is needed, as long as it does not violate humanitarian ethics, as long as they are willing, they can give accurate results. I have never heard of any deviation or failure."
"Young Master must know that the Mysterious God Conference that will be held in two years will alarm the entire God Realm. It was also caused by the Heavenly Secret Realm."
“…Hmm!?” Yun Che was quite surprised: “Because of the Heavenly Mystery Realm? Could it be because of some prophecy of the Heavenly Mystery Realm?”
"That's right." Ji Ruyan nodded slowly. "As far as Ruyan knows, the Heavenly Secret Realm prophesied ten years ago that within thirty years, the Eastern Divine Region, and even the entire Divine Realm, would most likely be struck by a great calamity. And the severity of the calamity is unprecedented. The Four Great King Realms began preparations early because of this prophecy. This Profound God Conference, which was held suddenly and has a completely different mechanism from the past, is mainly aimed at selecting the thousand most talented young profound practitioners in the Eastern Divine Region, and then using all the power of the Eternal Heaven Pearl to make them grow quickly so that they can cope with the possible great calamity."
Yun Che, however, was not moved at all: “I never believe in the so-called secrets of heaven. Moreover, this prophecy only mentions ‘possibility’. To put it bluntly, it is simply to leave a way out for its own trickery. In addition, this so-called prophecy, I have never heard of it even at the level of the middle star realm, how do you know it?”
"The word 'great catastrophe' will definitely cause great panic, so it must be kept secret... However, this Xuanshen Conference is too unusual, and in fact, there are some similar speculations everywhere. Although the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce is weak, its intelligence network is extremely widespread and it contacts a lot of people. In terms of intelligence capabilities, it may be stronger than you think. In addition, the saying of 'heavenly secrets' sounds illusory to anyone, but if you go to the Heavenly Secret Realm once, maybe... you will change your mind."
Yun Che’s eyebrows twitched, and he nodded, “Well, then. Then I’ll trouble you to use the intelligence capabilities of your Black Feather Chamber of Commerce to help me find the Nine-Star Buddha Jade and the Imperial Immortal Grass. If there is any result, I will definitely give you a corresponding reward. As for whether I can come back alive, you don’t have to worry about that.”
"Ruyan will do her best. As for the reward," Ji Ruyan shook her head: "No need. If you can really help the young master, it will be Ruyan's honor."
“…” Yun Che raised his eyes slightly and looked at Ji Ruyan again. His tone was obviously a little softer than before: “Miss Ruyan, you already know that I am just a nobody who came from the lower realm and is still alone. No matter what, I can’t help your Black Feather Chamber of Commerce. Why are you still helping me like this?”
Ji Ruyan smiled faintly, "Because you are willing to sacrifice your life to deal with the Soul Sect that Ruyan hates the most. Moreover, Ruyan also admires your righteousness and justice."
“Righteousness? Justice?” Yun Che laughed at himself, then flew up: “I said before, this is just a debt I owe… a debt that must be repaid!”
The voice faded away, and Yun Che's figure also disappeared into the night.
————————————————
To the east of Heiya City, looking from the sky, the mountains are winding and endless. As far as the eye can see, the entire mountain range is shrouded in dark gray fog, exuding a heavy and gloomy atmosphere.
The roar of beasts coming from afar makes people frightened and afraid to walk.
“Dark Soul Mountain Range!” Yun Che muttered in a low voice as he stood in front of the mountain range.
"The Soul Sect is not far from Heiya City. Three thousand miles east of Heiya City, there is a two thousand mile mountain range called the Black Soul Mountain Range. Passing through the Black Soul Mountain Range is where the Soul Sect is."
"The Black Soul Mountains are an extremely dangerous place, with countless dangerous profound beasts. Especially from dusk to the next morning, a very heavy gray fog will spread in the mountains. Even for Shinto profound practitioners, their vision and spiritual perception will be greatly restricted."
"In the western part of the Black Soul Mountains, many profound practitioners choose to train or look for opportunities all year round. However, only the strong ones dare to enter. Ordinary profound practitioners dare not approach. The eastern part belongs to the Soul Sect. Once someone enters and is discovered by the disciples of the Soul Sect, the end will be extremely tragic. No one dares to approach... You must be extremely careful."
This was the information about the Black Soul Mountains that Ji Ruyan gave him.
Facing the huge Soul Sect, Yun Che was as insignificant as the gravel under the mountain. It was absolutely impossible for him to fight it head-on... However, he also had his own support.
“Soul Sect, prepare to experience the wrath of a small person!” Yun Che gritted his teeth and murmured gloomily.
Yun Che fell from the sky and walked into the Black Soul Mountains. Although he hated it very much, he knew what he was doing. He had to be careful no matter what. If he was not careful, he would die.
At the very least, we should have a general understanding of the environment here so that it would be easier to escape from danger.
Because it was daytime, there was no thick fog in the Dark Soul Mountains, but as soon as you stepped in, you could clearly feel a sense of gloom.
Yun Che went straight deeper. He could see Xuanists with different clothes and auras everywhere. Ji Ruyan was right. Those who dared to enter the Black Soul Mountain Range were definitely not ordinary Xuanists. The Xuanli aura of the people Yun Che met was not lower than the Soul Realm. Occasionally, he would meet a strong man in the Divine Tribulation Realm. At the same time, all of these people were in groups, even in groups. He had never met anyone who was alone like him.
Although it is only the edge of the mountain range, the number of mysterious beasts roaming here is far greater than that of humans.
After receiving the royal wood spirit beads from He Lin, Yun Che's vision, hearing, and sense of smell were far better than before, and he could even clearly feel the breathing of plants and trees. Wherever he looked, he could accurately call out the names and characteristics of all the flowers, plants, and trees, without exception.
Avoiding the aura of the mysterious beast, Yun Che scanned the surrounding terrain while moving deeper into the Black Soul Mountain Range at a moderate pace. As he approached the Soul Sect step by step, his eyes gradually became more sinister. At this moment, the corners of his eyebrows moved slightly.
Hiss!!
A black snake suddenly shot out from the crack of the dead tree to his right. At the same time, another similar aura was ready to go on the opposite left. Yun Che stretched out his hand like lightning and grabbed the black snake at the seven inches. He exhaled a little profound energy and shattered its internal organs... At the same moment, the second black snake pounced on his neck like lightning.
"Watch out behind me!!"
As the sound came, a jade sword flew over and pierced the black snake in the air with incredible precision. Then the sword made a beautiful turn in the air and flew back with a cold sword energy. The black snake had been split into two, and where the spilled black blood fell, the grass and trees instantly turned black, which was shocking.
Yun Che: “…”
The one who shot the flying sword was a thin man in black clothes. Accompanying him was a tall man in the same attire, and a young girl who was obviously much younger than them.
Judging from his aura, the thin man who "saved" him had a slightly better cultivation than him, and should be at the third level of the Soul Realm, while the tall man was much stronger, and should have reached the fifth level of the Soul Realm. As for the woman, she was obviously in their care, and her profound strength was only at the middle stage of the Divine Origin Realm.
The three of them were obviously from the same school, and judging by their moves, they should have majored in kendo.
"Brother, are you okay?" The three men stepped forward, and the thin man said, "This is the notorious black evil snake from Black Soul Mountain. Not only is it cunning, it often hunts in groups, and it is extremely poisonous. It was really dangerous just now."
Yun Che nodded, glanced at them, and smiled: “Thank you for your help.”
The tall man frowned, and was obviously quite unhappy with Yun Che’s simple thanks. He smiled faintly and said, “If it weren’t for my junior brother’s help just now, you would have been dead, and even your body would be black. You should think about how to repay us first.”
"Haha, brother, the eldest brother was joking." The thin man quickly tried to smooth things over, "Brother, why would you come to a place like this alone? Why don't we... travel together? We can take care of each other. It's too dangerous to be alone here."
“Yes, let’s go together.” The woman also said immediately. Yun Che’s appearance was extraordinary, and coupled with his domineering and subtle nobleness, it was very easy for the woman to be in favor of him. She said proudly: “My name is Gu Xiaolian, and these are my eldest and third senior brothers. They are both very powerful and famous. If I tell you, you must have heard of them.”
The tall man curled his lips, with an expression of undisguised pride.
“No need for that.” Yun Che said, and without further ado, he turned and left.
"Heh, this brat." The tall man snorted disdainfully.
"Third senior brother, what is his cultivation level? Is he also in the Spirit Realm?" Gu Xiaolian asked curiously.
The thin man said: "Yes, the second level of the Soul Realm."
"Oh, so impressive." Gu Xiaolian blinked her eyes: "And I feel that he should be about the same age as me... maybe even younger."
"How is it possible!" The tall man curled his lips and said, "There are not many people in the Soul Realm who are around 30 years old, even Soul Sect, and him? However, if he was under 60 years old, he could indeed be called a genius. Unfortunately, he is a fool. He actually dared to come to Black Soul Mountain alone. I'm afraid this is his first time here, because he won't be able to live to come a second time."
“Big Brother!” Gu Xiaolian was startled and said quickly, “Don’t say that. He…he can hear it.”
"So what?" The eldest brother sneered disdainfully: "Whether he heard it or not, he is still a fool."
While they were talking, two sturdy men in the same black clothes appeared in their sight. When they sensed the aura of the two men in black, they were both startled, and the tall man even quickly restrained his sneer.
Because these two men in black were emitting the aura of the late Spirit Realm!
The two men in black also saw them at the same time. Their pace suddenly slowed down, and then they exchanged glances, changed direction, and walked straight towards the three people. Their eyes were clearly fixed on Gu Xiaolian.
Noticing their gazes, the thin man said in a panic, "They are here with bad intentions. Let's leave quickly."
"Stop!" As they turned around, a thunder-like voice rang behind their ears, making them tremble all over and dare not move anymore.
The three of them turned around slowly, and the thin man saluted and said, "I am Luo Mu from the Jade Sword Sect. I wonder if you two seniors have any advice for me."
"Jade Sword Sect? What is that?" asked the man in black on the right.
“Hahaha, who cares what it is? In the eyes of us in the Soul Sect, it’s just shit. As long as we have fun.” The man in black on the left laughed wildly.
Soul Sect... These two words shocked the three people. They also caught a glimpse of the black snake mark on their bodies at this time. The tall man said tremblingly: "So, it's... the seniors of the Soul Sect. I wonder if the two seniors... have any instructions?"
"Order? Humph!" The black-clothed man on the right suddenly turned grim. "You guys are so bold that you dare to trespass into our Soul Sect's territory! Don't you know that the entire Black Soul Mountain is our Soul Sect's territory?"
“This…this…” the thin man said hurriedly, “I absolutely dare not do that, but…I know that the east of Black Soul Mountain belongs to your clan, and the west…”
"Bullshit!" the man in black shouted angrily, "Since it's called Black Soul Mountain, it must belong to our Black Soul Sect. Not only did you trespass, but you even dared to quibble. Forget it. After all, our Soul Sect is the dominant sect in the Black Ya Realm. We should be broad-minded and not argue with ignorant youngsters like you."
The three of them were delighted and were about to thank him, but they saw the man pointing his finger at Gu Xiaolian with an ugly lewd smile on his face: "As long as you give us this little girl for fun, we will forgive you for trespassing. If you have fun, you might even get a big reward. Hahahaha!"
The two's expressions suddenly changed. Gu Xiaolian's face turned pale instantly. She shrank behind the two of them and trembled with fear, "No... Don't..."
"Brother," the thin man clenched his hands, his whole body trembling, and gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, they are going too far... Let's fight!"
"No! Do you want to die?" The tall man quickly responded, "They are from the Soul Sect, the Soul Sect! Moreover, these two people have such high profound powers, their status in the Soul Sect must be not low... Don't be impulsive!"
"Senior Brother, save...save me." Gu Xiaolian said pitifully.
“Junior Sister Xiao Lian,” the eldest senior brother’s eyebrows twitched, “They are…seniors from the Soul Sect, so we can only…we can only let you down, otherwise…the three of us will die.”
"Senior...Brother..." Gu Xiaolian stood there for a moment, her face pale, and she couldn't believe her ears at all.
"Hahahaha, you guys are obedient and sensible. Then why don't you two get out of here! Do you want to have some fun together?"
"No, no... Let's get out now, get out now!" Hearing the word "get out", the eldest brother did not feel humiliated. Instead, he felt like he heard a heavenly voice. He grabbed the thin man and forcibly pulled him away.
"..."Gu Xiaolian slowly collapsed to the ground, a look of despair on her face.
“Hahahaha…” The two men in black laughed wildly at the same time: “Tsk tsk, what a coward! You thought we could have more fun.”
At this moment, a cold and emotionless voice suddenly sounded behind their ears:
"You two, are you from the Soul Sect?"
