As soon as the Chu family entered the secret realm, images of the realm appeared above the entrance.
Chu Lan found himself in a dark forest, surrounded by thick fog, creating an eerie and sinister atmosphere. The trees were tall and twisted, their branches intertwined, almost obscuring the sky.
Chu Lan walked cautiously forward, the fallen leaves rustling beneath her feet. Suddenly, a huge black spider slumped down from a branch, its sharp fangs gleaming coldly. Chu Lan's eyes narrowed, and she swiftly dodged to the side, a flash of light appearing in her hand as she thrust a dagger towards the spider.
In one fell swoop, the spider was pinned to the tree.
But as the spider sprayed its greenish-blue blood, the blood splattered on the ground turned into tiny spiders.
These tiny spiders swarmed towards Chu Lan, so densely packed that it sent chills down one's spine.
Chu Lan frowned, wanting to use magic to destroy these creepy little things, but she was surprised to find that her spiritual power was gone.
She could only brandish her long whip, lashing at the small spiders that swarmed around her. But after those small spiders were whipped to pieces, even more small spiders would sprout from them…
"Sigh! Why didn't the Domain Lord's mother do any research before coming? These little spiders can't be killed, the more you kill them, the more they multiply. If you encounter them, you can only run! Once you run across the river ahead, those little spiders will be helpless."
"If this continues, won't Madam Chu be eliminated in the first round?"
Chu Lan clearly realized this as well, so she stopped fighting the little spider and ran straight ahead.
The little spiders pursued relentlessly, and Chu Lan's strength was steadily waning. Just when she was about to give up, she finally reached the riverbank.
The river was swift and appeared to be bottomless. Without the slightest hesitation, Chu Lan leaped into the river.
The icy river water instantly surrounded her, the current crashing against her body, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
Fortunately, the little spiders didn't follow. Chu Lan swam with all her might to the other side, and finally managed to get ashore. She collapsed on the ground, panting heavily.
Before Chu Lan could catch her breath, a huge two-headed wolf slowly emerged from the nearby woods. Its eyes gleamed with an eerie green light, its fangs were bared, and saliva dripped from the corners of its mouth.
Chu Lan was startled. She had just fought the little spider and crossed the river, and her strength had not yet recovered. But facing the threat of the two-headed wolf, she could only muster her strength and slowly stand up.
The two-headed wolf didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack. Instead, it circled Chu Lan a few times, as if sizing up its prey. Chu Lan gripped the long whip tightly, his eyes fixed on the two-headed wolf, searching for its weakness.
Suddenly, the two-headed wolf pounced. Chu Lan dodged to the side and lashed out with his long whip at the wolf's back. However, this strike did not cause much damage to the two-headed wolf; instead, it enraged it.
The two-headed wolf pounced again, this time faster and stronger. Chu Lan couldn't dodge in time and was knocked to the ground. The dagger also fell out of Chu Lan's reach.
Chu Lan used both hands to brace against the two-headed wolf's neck, preventing it from biting him.
The two-headed wolf struggled to break free from Chu Lan's resistance, its two large mouths constantly snapping shut, saliva dripping onto Chu Lan's face and emitting a nauseating, fishy stench.
Its claws left several bloody scratches on Chu Lan's body. Chu Lan gasped in pain, but still stubbornly endured the pain.
"Will my mother be alright?" Chu Wanwan asked, frowning.
"It's alright. There are formations in the secret realm. If a participant's life is in danger, they will be teleported out directly!"
The sect leader of the Azure Nether Immortal Sect said respectfully.
Chu Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat at ease.
At this critical moment, Chu Lan spotted a thick tree branch on the ground. With all her might, she freed one hand to grab the branch and thrust it fiercely towards the two-headed wolf's eye.
The two-headed wolf cried out in pain, released Chu Lan, and rolled on the ground.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chu Lan scrambled to his feet and staggered backward. But the two-headed wolf quickly stood up again and pounced on Chu Lan once more.
This time, Chu Lan didn't give it a chance. The long whip whistled through the air, accurately wrapping around one of the two-headed wolf's legs. Chu Lan pulled hard, and the two-headed wolf lost its balance, falling heavily to the ground.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chu Lan leaped forward with a light tap of his toes, picked up the dagger that had just fallen to the ground, and accurately stabbed it towards the head of the two-headed wolf.
With a "thud," the entire dagger plunged into one of the alpha wolf's heads. The two-headed wolf howled in pain, its body writhing violently.
Chu Lan swiftly drew his dagger and plunged it into the two-headed wolf's other head. The two-headed wolf's body twitched a few times, then finally stopped moving.
"I never imagined that the Domain Lord's mother was so skilled. Back then, I almost got kicked to death by a troll rabbit that was even weaker than a two-headed wolf. I never expected that the Domain Lord's mother would take down a two-headed wolf so easily!"
"This test assesses the strength and agility of the participants. Although we immortal cultivators possess spiritual power, these abilities become our bargaining chips for victory when we encounter worthy opponents or immortal cultivators of a higher level than us."
"It seems this Madam Chu has some real skills..."
Chu Lan was panting heavily, her clothes soaked with sweat, and her wounds were still throbbing.
She washed her wound with the clear river water and gave it a simple bandage. Then she sat down to rest for a while before continuing on her way.
As she walked, her surroundings suddenly changed.
The once dark forest gradually became bright and open, and ahead lay a sea of flowers.
Chu Lan did not let her guard down because of the beautiful scenery; she cautiously walked into the sea of flowers.
This sea of flowers stretches as far as the eye can see, with all kinds of flowers vying for attention. There are delicate red roses, noble and elegant purple irises, fresh and refined white lilies, and many other exotic flowers whose names I don't know.
The petals glistened with dewdrops, shining like dazzling gems in the sunlight.
In the sea of flowers, butterflies and bees busily flitted about, their wings fluttering and making soft buzzing sounds. A gentle breeze blew, causing the flowers to sway gently, creating waves of blossoms, and the fragrance became even more intense, as if one could be intoxicated by it.
"The main event is here. We've entered the Enchanted Flower Sea, and the Domain Lord's mother is about to enter the Demonic Illusion."
As the Qingming Immortal Sect disciples finished speaking, Chu Lan, who had been strolling through the sea of flowers, suddenly stopped in the very center of the flower field and remained motionless...
