Although the most genuine treasures have already been divided up by the major sects, the scale of this secret realm is so vast that there are bound to be some that have been missed. As a result, mid-sized forces, small forces, and independent cultivators have all entered the Burial Dragon Mountain Secret Realm to conduct a second exploration. Even forces from the Eastern Region have traveled thousands of miles to come here to pick up the leftovers.
Some people are indeed lucky and receive tremendous benefits.
Why don't the major sects of the Southern Region, such as Tianshui Palace, Shenmeng Sect, Kunshan Lu Clan, and Tongshan Gu Clan, send their disciples to the secret realm for a trial?
As a result, various sects organized their disciples to explore secret realms, allowing them to experience the grandeur of ancient powerful beings. If they were lucky, they might even have a serendipitous encounter.
Ah Yao already knew the location of the Burial Dragon Mountain Secret Realm.
Her earth-elemental avatar studied the entrance for several days and finally concluded that even with the knowledge of a Celestial Emperor, she currently lacked the ability to open the secret realm. Should she tell the Lu family about this secret realm?
After thinking it over, she realized that even if she told her parents, the Lu family would still need to gather all the major powers to open the secret realm. And with only the Golden Core stage strength, she would definitely be excluded from the first batch of people to enter the secret realm, no matter how great her contributions were.
After thinking about it, I decided to forget it and wait for the people of Tianshui Palace to discover this secret realm. Then, just like in my previous life, I would have the major powers of the Southern and Northern Regions join forces to open the secret realm, and then observe the situation and wait for the second exploration of the secret realm.
Just as things had unfolded in the previous life, the people of Tianshui Palace discovered the location of the secret realm and reported it to the sect. Originally intending to keep it all for themselves, Tianshui Palace found that they had no way to do so and could only send out jade slips to contact various major forces.
Upon receiving the news, Lu Xiuwen, the family patriarch, and the three Supreme Elders, who were in seclusion, all emerged and led the Lu family's Void Refinement stage elders to Burial Dragon Mountain. This was a matter of great importance, and Lu Xiuwen did not bring any cultivators below the Void Refinement stage with him.
Other factions were similar; aside from those in the Void Refining stage, the Nascent Soul stage disciples were not allowed to join in the fun.
A Yao's fire-elemental, wood-elemental, and metal-elemental clones were all at the Nascent Soul stage, secretly waiting at the entrance of the secret realm. The first group to enter naturally received the most, but they also bore the greatest danger. A Yao wasn't truly incapable of sneaking in, but once inside, concealing herself from so many Void Refinement stage cultivators would be difficult.
Therefore, she had no choice but to abandon her first exploration of the secret realm and wait for these Void Refinement stage monsters to have finished clearing it out before entering. By then, most of the restrictions would have been broken by these Void Refinement stage monsters, making it much easier for her to pick up the remaining obstacles.
————
Three months later.
"Really? We can go on an adventure to the secret realm too?" Lu Xuening said excitedly.
The news about the Burial Dragon Mountain Secret Realm has spread far and wide. She recalled that three months ago, her father suddenly emerged from seclusion and disappeared without a trace along with the elders. The entire Lu family was filled with anxiety. Later, everyone learned that an ancient secret realm had been discovered and her father and the others had gone to explore it.
Although even his brothers didn't know what their father and the others had obtained in the secret realm, they were certain that they had obtained great opportunities and benefits. Now, did he also have a chance?
"Most of the dangerous restrictions in the secret realm have been broken, and of course, the real treasures have been taken away, but there are always some oversights. We're actually just there to pick up the leftovers," Lu Yunshen said to Lu Xuening with a smile.
"Big brother, second brother and the others have already gone. It's really lively over at Burial Dragon Mountain now. I heard that not only cultivators from the Southern and Northern Regions, but also from the Eastern Region, Western Region and Central Plains have come to join in the fun," Lu Yunlin said.
Lu Xuening asked excitedly, "Has anyone gotten any treasures?"
Lu Yunqi, sitting to the side, said while munching on fruit, "A couple of days ago, someone found a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herb in the secret realm."
"Really!" Lu Xuening exclaimed in surprise. A ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herb, even the Lu family rarely has one.
"Someone else found a near-immortal artifact there," Lu Yunlin said, a look of eager anticipation in his eyes. He knew that his father and the others must have obtained quite a few near-immortal artifacts from Burial Dragon Mountain, and might even have obtained real immortal artifacts. However, his father would never easily bestow those treasures upon him.
But if you're lucky, you might even get a minor immortal artifact.
"A sub-immortal artifact!" Lu Xuening's voice changed. Even as the beloved eighth young lady of the Kunshan Lu family, she had only ever seen sub-immortal artifacts and had never even touched one.
She couldn't wait to go to Burial Dragon Mountain.
"When are we going?" Lu Xuening asked excitedly, grabbing Lu Yunshen's hand beside her.
Just then, A Yao entered from outside. Sensing her presence, many eyes turned to look outside. A Yao, dressed in a deep purple gauze dress, stepped into the room. Her gaze fell on Lu Xuening's hand, which was holding Lu Yun Shen's arm, standing very close to him.
When Lu Yunshen saw A Yao looking at him, he subconsciously withdrew his arm and distanced himself from Lu Xuening.
Lu Xuening's hands were suddenly empty. She bit her lip, feeling extremely unhappy.
"Third brother..."
She looked like she was about to cry, which made Lu Yunxing, Lu Yunqi, and Lu Yunlin all glare at Lu Yunshen. What was Third Brother doing? As soon as Lu Xueyao arrived, he distanced himself from Xiao Ba. What did that mean? Did Lu Xueyao forbid him from getting close to Xiao Ba?
This is absolutely outrageous!
The three of them looked sharply at Ayao, and Lu Yunxing asked directly, "What are you doing?"
Ayao innocently said, "I didn't do anything!"
"As soon as you arrived, Third Brother distanced himself from Xiao Ba. You said you didn't do anything? Stop bullying Xiao Ba, okay?" Lu Yunxing shouted at A Yao. He thought A Yao was so insensible. She had promised him before that she wouldn't cause trouble for Xiao Ba, but she hadn't kept her word at all.
Ayao looked at Lu Yunshen with amusement: "What are you doing?"
Lu Yunshen lowered his head, but after a while he looked up and saw Lu Xuening looking at him with teary eyes.
He didn't know why, but the moment A Yao looked over, his body reflexively moved away from Lu Xuening. Now he felt very awkward and guilty for hurting Xiao Ba's feelings.
"Third brother..."
Lu Xuening's eyes were red, and tears were about to fall.
Just then, two powerful auras enveloped the entire palace, and two beams of light shot out from outside the hall, landing above the hall and transforming into a pair of white-robed Daoist couples.
Xu Lianxin was dressed in a white palace gown, her hair piled high like dark clouds, adorned with jewels, her stunning beauty even more radiant than ever before. The man standing beside her was tall and slender, dressed in white, aloof and otherworldly, like a banished immortal.
Ayao looked at the man beside Xu Lianxin. This was her father, Lu Xiuwen. In fact, this was the first time she had seen her biological father since her rebirth.
When Ayao looked at Lu Xiuwen, Lu Xiuwen also looked at her. His eyes were deep blue, occasionally gleaming with an eerie light. He was extremely handsome, a true beauty.
Not to mention that there are few men in the entire Canglan Realm who can rival his appearance, even A Yao, a reborn Immortal Emperor with tens of thousands of years of experience who has seen many handsome men from various races in the Upper Realm, has to admit that if it is just a matter of appearance, her biological father's face can definitely be ranked in the top ten among all the men she knows.
