Chapter 303 Entering the Small Secret Realm
The courtyard where Zhao Qin lived.
Chu Ning met other talented disciples of Taiyuan Peak, all of whom were disciples of the elders of Taiyuan Peak, and all of them were in the late Nascent Soul stage.
Zhao Qin introduced Chu Ning to the people present. When they heard that Chu Ning was from Danyu and had won one of the Danyu Newcomer Competition, smiles appeared on the faces of the five people present.
An alchemist with a promising future is still worthy of their friendship.
"I would like Chu Ning to go to the secret realm with us. What do you think?"
Zhao Qin did not tell Chu Ning about the secret realm on the way. It was not because he was on guard against Chu Ning, but because the secret realm was not discovered by him, but by another person present.
The other party came to them and wanted to explore this secret realm together. Without the other party's permission, Zhao Qin could not reveal the situation of the secret realm.
However, Zhao Qin believed that these people would not refuse. Chu Ning's strength was there, and he was also an alchemist. There would only be benefits and no harm in entering the secret realm together.
"It is naturally a good thing that Fellow Daoist Chu can enter with us. How can I disagree? Welcome to join us."
Sure enough, the man on the far left spoke. He was also the one who discovered this secret realm.
Chu Ning felt helpless. Zhao Qin meant well, but he really didn't want to go to the secret realm.
"I'm just passing by Taiyuan Peak. I'm afraid I don't have time to go to the secret realm."
Chu Ning repeated his refusal on the way, but Zhao Qin smiled and said, "This secret realm has been opened. It won't take much time. Let me tell you about the secret realm first."
After getting approval, Zhao Qin informed Chu Ning of the specific situation of the secret realm.
It is called a secret realm, but in fact it was left behind by a powerful god-transforming master. Although that god-transforming master was only in the early stage of the god-transforming stage, he was quite famous in Taiyuan Peak during his lifetime, especially for his expertise in formations.
This secret realm is the cemetery arranged by this powerful man himself. It was discovered by Ye Pengxiang several years ago. Because of the existence of formation restrictions, the man found that he could not enter alone.
In order to break this formation, either a powerful Jindan cultivator must break it by force, or if two cultivators want to break the formation together, five Yuanying late stage cultivators will be needed to take action.
It's not that Ye Pengxiang hadn't thought about asking his senior brother in the Spirit Transformation Realm for help. As a disciple of the elder, he had a senior brother in the Spirit Transformation Realm above him, but his senior brother was only in the early Spirit Transformation Realm. A formation set up by a Spirit Transformation Realm expert might not be broken by a person in the early Spirit Transformation Realm.
If one asks other mid-stage Spirit Transformation experts in the sect for help, they will naturally have to be compensated accordingly. In case there is nothing good in the secret realm, then it would be a loss.
And if there were good stuff, it would be a huge loss. After thinking it over, Ye Pengxiang finally decided to find a Nascent Soul cultivator to help him crack it.
After listening to Zhao Qin's introduction, Chu Ning was also thinking.
The tomb of a powerful cultivator in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm should not be particularly dangerous. Besides, his progress in the formation has stagnated because he lacks some research experience from high-level formation masters.
"Since you Taoist friends think highly of me, I am willing to enter this secret realm with you. I have a bottle of instant recovery pills here. As long as you take one pill, you can restore the consumed spiritual power in an instant."
Chu Ning took out a medicine bottle. The Instant Recovery Pill was one of the pills he had proactively refined over the years. The Jiying Pill given to the leader of the Seven Stars Sect was something he had received from the sect.
The main purpose of refining the Instant Recovery Pill is to make up for the defects of the God-Locking Bow and to enable cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage to quickly recover their spiritual power. This Instant Recovery Pill is already close to a sixth-grade elixir.
"As expected of Fellow Daoist Chu, you can even refine this kind of elixir."
Seeing the instant recovery pill that Chu Ning took out, smiles appeared on the faces of everyone else present. This kind of pill that can restore spiritual power in a short period of time is more precious as the realm increases.
In order to restore the spiritual power of a Nascent Soul cultivator, at least fifty spirit crystals are needed.
As expected of someone from Danyu, he is very generous.
After discussing the details for a while, they decided to set off tomorrow.
That night, Chu Ning spent the night in Zhao Qin's yard, and the two chatted about some of the things they had experienced over the years.
The most important thing is that Zhao Qin said that because Chu Ning has been in Danyu for these years, there is nothing worth talking about in the sect.
Zhao Qin has had rich experiences over the years. He has visited many domains and met many geniuses.
Among them are many geniuses who have made it onto the Yuanlong List.
The Yuanlong Ranking is a list published by Sihai Trading Company. As a trading company, Sihai Trading Company has shops throughout various domains and comes into contact with the most cultivators from various domains.
The Yuanlong Ranking is the top 100 Yuanying realm masters counted by Sihai Trading Company.
This list has little influence in the Dan Domain, because no Nascent Soul Alchemist in the Dan Domain has ever been on the list, but it is still quite well-known in other domains.
There are nine people from Taiyuan Domain on the list, and two from Taiyuan Peak.
"We are considered geniuses in Chengshan Domain, and even if we come to the Central Domain, we can still be considered not bad, but we are still far behind those on the Yuanlong List. The last person on the Yuanlong List entered the late Yuanying stage five hundred years ago."
Zhao Qin was a little self-deprecating. After being accepted as a disciple by his master, he felt that his cultivation talent was outstanding even in the Central Region.
But after meeting the geniuses on the Yuanlong List, he realized that there was still a gap between him and these truly top geniuses.
Chu Ning didn't have much emotional fluctuation. Genius or not, they were all little brothers in front of his lifespan of 50,000 years.
I am not as good as you now, but I will wait and see in a thousand or several thousand years. When your energy and blood are weak, I will let you know what it means to not bully the young and poor.
"Just because someone is smart when he is young doesn't mean he will be smart when he grows up. There is no need to envy others." Chu Ning comforted Zhao Qin.
Zhao Qin's expression became strange. They had all been practicing for thousands of years and had entered the middle and late stages of their lifespans. How could they still be young?
It’s better not to comfort you.
…
…
The next day.
Chu Ning and six others left Taiyuan Peak on a flying boat.
The flying boat shuttled all the way and finally stopped among a group of mountains.
“The secret place is in this mountain.”
Ye Pengxiang led everyone into the mountains and soon arrived at a mountain peak blocked by a sea of clouds.
"The divine sense cannot detect it?"
Zhao Qin and others spread out their spiritual sense, but found that it could only extend to a hundred meters.
"That senior set up a formation here that can block the prying of spiritual consciousness. I discovered this by accident at the beginning."
Ye Pengxiang explained the situation to everyone, then took out three flags from the storage bag, and with a gesture of his hands, the three flags flew into the air. The next moment, a strong wind was howling on the earth, and all the clouds were blown away in a short while.
The clouds and mist dissipated, revealing the true appearance of the mountain.
"I didn't find anything unusual."
A female cultivator spoke slowly. Without the sea of clouds, their spiritual sense had returned to normal. However, when their spiritual sense swept across the entire mountain just now, they still didn't find anything wrong.
"I just removed the first formation. There are several linked formations on this mountain. Everyone, wait for me to break them."
Ye Pengxiang began to busy himself around the mountain. Zhao Qin and others could not understand Ye Pengxiang's actions, but Chu Ning saw it clearly. However, after watching it, Chu Ning frowned slightly.
Ye Pengxiang was indeed trying to break the formation, but he was also setting up another formation at the same time.
So, this person is guarding against them?
Chu Ning did not tell anyone about this. This formation could not stop him, but he was already wary of Ye Pengxiang.
Originally, he had not thought that there would be any internal strife, because these people were all from the same sect and were all disciples of the elders. If they died, the master behind the scenes would definitely investigate thoroughly.
If he said it now, it would not be of much use. Ye Pengxiang could argue that it was to prevent other people from passing by and noticing the clues, so he used the formation to cover up the movement.
Ye Pengxiang finished his work after a day. As the formation was broken, everyone's spiritual sense could sense energy fluctuations coming from the bottom of the mountain.
There was joy on the faces of several people. The next moment, everyone's figures disappeared from the spot, and when they reappeared, they were already in a large square at the bottom of the mountain.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Cold! The figure appeared in the square, and the first feeling Chu Ning had was a biting cold. Chu Ning glanced at the others, and they should have the same feeling as him.
"There is weak water all around here. This cold air is emitted from the weak water. If you want to enter the secret realm, you must cross the weak water."
Ye Pengxiang pointed forward. In front of the square there was a river emitting cold mist. The strange thing was that the river did not flow underground. Instead, it was suspended in the air like a ribbon.
The river is so wide that you can't see the end of it.
"This Weak Water River seems to occupy half of the underground space, but that is just an illusion created by the formation. If you want to cross the Weak Water River, you have to close the formation."
"Brother Ye, just tell us what we can do."
"It's simple. See those five huge rocks over there? All the five of us need to do is stand on them, activate the formation, and continuously input spiritual power into it. As long as we have enough spiritual power, we can use the formation to teleport the Weak Water River away."
Ye Pengxiang had a smile on his face and glanced at Chu Ning: "Originally I didn't have absolute confidence, but with the instant recovery pill provided by Fellow Daoist Chu, there should be no problem in activating the formation."
"Then let's do it."
Each of Zhao Qin and his four companions stood on a huge rock, but Chu Ning did not. He was a substitute, and if any side lacked spiritual power in the end, he would fill in.
Soon, as Zhao Qin and the other four transferred their spiritual power into the boulder, five beams of light shot out from the boulder and shot towards the Ruoshui River in front.
The beam of light pierced through the Ruoshui River, and the water began to flow slowly, and the speed of flow became faster and faster.
Half an hour later, the entire Ruoshui River completely disappeared, and Chu Ning immediately looked forward.
Behind the Weak Water River, there is a huge teleportation array, which is shining at this moment.
"It's done!"
Ye Pengxiang had a look of joy on his face. He jumped off the boulder immediately and headed towards the teleportation array. Zhao Qin and others followed closely behind him.
There are many runes engraved on the teleportation array, and a huge top-grade spirit stone is inlaid at the bottom.
Spirit stones are not scarce in the Central Region, but a perfect, top-quality spirit stone that is ten feet wide is definitely a very rare item.
"Back then, this senior had left a rumor in the cultivator world that if future generations could find the location of his tomb, they would be able to obtain an opportunity. This senior really kept his word."
Ye Pengxiang had a smile on his face. If it was just the tomb of a powerful god, it would not be worth their attention.
But this senior was different. When he made a statement in his old age, it caused many monks to frantically search for him. Unfortunately, they were unable to find him in the end.
Now the appearance of this teleportation array has verified that what the predecessor said was true. If it was just a tomb, there would be no need for a teleportation array at all. It is obvious that the predecessor hid the opportunity at the destination of this teleportation array.
The other man's eyes sparkled, but he asked in a deep voice: "Should we go in together, or one by one?"
The destination of the teleportation array is an unknown place after all. If we want to be safe, we can go in one by one. If there are many problems, others can seek support.
But if the destination of the teleportation array really contains an opportunity, the first person to enter will be the one with the greatest chance of getting the opportunity.
At this moment, even though they were from the same sect, the atmosphere became a little weird.
The appearance of the teleportation array broke the original agreement between several people.
"Then, the six of us will be divided into two groups. After the first group enters and confirms that it is safe, they will return through the teleportation array."
In the end, the oldest man made the decision and the others had no objections.
"I'll be in the second batch."
Chu Ning took the initiative to put himself in the second batch, and the others naturally had no objection, and the three people in the first batch were quickly confirmed.
Ye Pengxiang, Zhao Qin and a female cultivator named Li were the first group to enter.
Zhao Qin and the other two stood on the teleportation array. The spirit stones on the teleportation array emitted a bright light, and even the runes began to flicker.
Ten breaths later, the three figures disappeared from the teleportation array.
Chu Ning and the other two stood there and waited quietly. Half an hour later, a light appeared on the teleportation array and Ye Pengxiang appeared on it.
"It's safe over there, everyone please follow me."
"good."
The other two nodded and also stepped onto the teleportation array, but Chu Ning was silent for a moment and stood there without moving.
"What happened to Fellow Daoist Chu?"
Seeing Chu Ning standing still, Ye Pengxiang asked in confusion.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, can you tell me what the situation is over there?"
Ye Pengxiang didn't expect Chu Ning to ask this. He smiled and said, "That's a huge space over there. But Junior Brother Zhao and I have confirmed that there is no danger around the teleportation array. As for the situation inside that space, we will explore it together after we all go in."
Ye Pengxiang's explanation was very reasonable. As long as they confirmed that there was no danger around the teleportation array, it would be enough. If they really wanted to explore that place thoroughly first, the next group of people would doubt whether the three people had already found the opportunity.
This time, Chu Ning did not stand still and stepped onto the teleportation array. However, at the moment the teleportation array was activated, Chu Ning suddenly punched Ye Pengxiang.
Boom! At such a close distance, Ye Pengxiang had no defense at all, and with Chu Ning using the power of the mountain, this punch directly knocked Ye Pengxiang out of the teleportation array.
"Junior Brother Ye!"
