"So where do we go next? What if the fighting is still raging outside? We'd just be sending ourselves to die. After all, the righteous and demonic factions have been fighting for over a hundred years; they're practically brainwashed. They don't have many scruples when it comes to the secret realm's opportunities," Pi Shujun said with a frown and some worry.
"What are you afraid of? We are both Foundation Establishment cultivators at the peak of our cultivation. How can we be considered as easy prey? We can just change our clothes and who will know we are array cultivators? We have also specially learned a few sword techniques and spells for this secret realm opportunity. If all else fails, we can just use the teleportation jade talisman!"
"Besides, this opportunity in the secret realm only comes once every five hundred years. Now that it has opened ahead of schedule, the next top-tier secret realm will not appear for another eight hundred years. This is probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"Alright!"
The two sisters glanced at the map and then left the cave, carefully venturing into the secret realm.
After a while...
After traveling for dozens of miles, they found the area peaceful. They occasionally encountered cultivators, but they simply passed by.
Just as I had imagined, the sacred medicinal gardens I passed by were in a mess, completely looted!
The two sisters then increased their speed in that direction and headed towards the center of the secret realm.
That place is home to a large medicinal herb garden in the secret realm.
Basically, it was the last place to be contested.
Even with the speed of a fully-fledged Foundation Establishment cultivator, it took them nearly an hour to arrive.
It is evident that the secret realm is so vast that it is no less than the Demon King's Secret Realm located in the Southern Frontier.
When they arrived at the center of the secret realm, there were already many traces of cultivators there.
One of the medium-to-large medicinal herb gardens is located in a large valley.
Judging from the array marks on all four sides and the residual spiritual energy fluctuations, it seems that it was only recently broken open.
Every now and then, streaks of light would appear from afar and enter this valley!
"This should be a newly opened herb garden. Let's go in and take a look. We might run into someone from our sect, or perhaps even find some opportunities!"
Zhong Jiajia was in high spirits and immediately pulled Pi Shujun forward.
Pi Shujun hesitated for a moment, then said, "How about we wait a bit longer? Let's see if any of our fellow disciples arrive. Otherwise, with this herb garden just opened, the competition will definitely be fierce!"
Zhong Jiajia immediately said, "Don't worry, maybe our fellow disciples are among them! Besides, we've changed clothes, so no one will know we're array cultivators. We're at least two Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators! As long as we don't actively fight for them and just try to pick up the scraps, it shouldn't be a big problem."
Helpless, Pi Shujun followed Zhong Jiajia into the valley.
Although Zhong Jiajia is somewhat adventurous, that's about it. In such a competitive place, she naturally wouldn't treat her life and safety as a joke.
The two walked carefully through the valley, avoiding other cultivators.
Even if they know there are opportunities ahead, they will not move forward as long as there are other cultivators around. They will head towards less crowded areas, hoping to find some bargains and perhaps run into fellow disciples to join forces and contribute to the final battle for the large-scale medicine garden, thereby gaining rewards!
There was no danger along the way.
Being in a secret realm, the main purpose is to compete for spiritual treasures, not to be in a lawless place where people can wantonly burn, kill, and plunder. They are, after all, two cultivators at the peak of Foundation Establishment, so naturally no one would cause trouble for no reason.
But along the way, they didn't find anything of value. After all, this secret realm was under control, and the distribution of opportunities was very clear. It wasn't some unknown place, so it was naturally difficult to stumble upon opportunities. The locations of most spiritual items were clearly marked.
However, Zhong Jiajia and her companion weren't in a hurry. Their main purpose was to reunite with their fellow disciples, and secondly, to try their luck. They were just there to join in the fun...
However, after Zhong Jiajia and her companion had walked around for a while, they hadn't found any spiritual objects. They also didn't dare to go and check out the medicinal fields, for fear of being caught in the crossfire of war.
"Let's go out and take a look, let's find our fellow disciples!"
Zhong Jiajia and her companion were about to leave through a side path.
Suddenly, I sensed several streams of energy approaching from both the front and back.
They were moving extremely fast, seemingly in a chase.
"Huh? They've come all this way? Let's hide!"
Just as Zhong Jiajia finished speaking, two figures appeared at the corner of the mountain peak high in the sky, flying swiftly on their swords.
The two women paused, their expressions immediately changing. Pi Shujun hesitated for a moment, then said, "Aren't those two female cultivators from the Falling Maple Sect? And the ones chasing them are... wait, aren't they all in cahoots? This..."
