This white-robed elder was none other than Lu Jing, a Void Refinement stage elder of the Lu family.
"Your first priority in this journey to the secret realm is to gain experience. Our ancestors fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and you will inevitably face battles in the future as well. We cultivators are not afraid of fighting. Of course, Lu family disciples are not afraid of battle, but don't be foolish and throw your lives away. Whether you can obtain treasures depends entirely on luck. Even if you don't get any treasures, going in to gain experience and insights will not be a wasted trip."
"When you meet with the major powers that are on good terms with the Lu family, be a little more courteous. Don't be too assertive and damage the relationships between the aristocratic families."
Lu Jing's voice wasn't loud, but it rang clearly in the ears of every Lu family disciple.
"If you make a breakthrough or gain some insight after this experience, you will be rewarded when you return to your clan."
In other words, Lu Jing's words can be translated as: the treasures are secondary; your mission is to kill. Aside from powerful forces like the Lu family, everyone else can be your prey.
Most of the treasures in the secret realm have already been looted by us old guys. If you're unlucky and don't find anything good, don't be too disappointed. When you get into a battle with disciples from other major forces, it's best to leave each other an escape route; you don't need to risk your life.
Even if you come empty-handed, as long as you are strong enough, the clan's cultivation resources will be plentiful for you. The main purpose of entering this secret realm is to gain experience.
The reason why major powers allow small and medium-sized sects and independent cultivators to enter secret realms is because they see them as prey for their own disciples.
Those small and medium-sized sects and independent cultivators are nothing like the clansmen and disciples of forces such as the Lu family of Kunshan, who are equipped with high-level magic treasures and have guards. Once a conflict occurs, most of them can only be slaughtered.
Some of Lu Jing's words were understood, while others were not.
Whether they understood or not, they all said, "We will follow the elder's teachings!"
"Alright! You guys go ahead!"
As Lu Jing spoke, he waved his hand, and immediately all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him surged toward him. Amidst the rising wind and swirling clouds, a colorful road stretched from the floating ship all the way to the vortex at the entrance of the secret realm, a hundred feet away. The storm at the entrance of the secret realm also stopped.
Ayao was the first to react. Her body flashed with spiritual light, and like a shooting star, she shot towards the entrance of the secret realm along the colorful passage.
"Xiao Qi—"
Lu Yunshen shouted, and immediately a burst of light appeared on his body, transforming into a white rainbow as he chased after A Yao.
Following those two, the other members of the Lu family also reacted one by one. They immediately took to the air, flying along the path Lu Jing had laid out for them towards the entrance of the secret realm. Suddenly, countless rainbows shot towards the distant vortex above the colorful avenue.
A multitude of gazes turned towards them, filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment. These gazes came from ordinary forces, small sects, and rogue cultivators. They didn't have any old monsters at the Void Refinement stage to clear a path for them, so they could only obediently wait for more than ten hours until the storm at the entrance of the secret realm subsided.
"Xiao Ba, let's go too!" Lu Yunlin said gently to Lu Xuening.
Lu Xuening nodded.
Lu Yunlin took her hand, and the two of them took to the air. Lu Yunxing and Lu Yunqi followed behind them, followed by several Nascent Soul stage guards, all flying towards the entrance of the secret realm.
Upon entering the enormous purple vortex, one can feel the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth within. After passing through a section of hazy, luminous void, one's vision suddenly expands.
Towering peaks rose abruptly from the ground, piercing the clouds; giant trees stretched across the sky; mist and haze swirled everywhere; waterfalls cascaded like an inverted Milky Way; and giant stone statues, hundreds or thousands of feet tall, were covered with all kinds of lush plants, exotic flowers and rare herbs, a feast for the eyes; the air was filled with a rich fragrance.
In the distance, there were enormous floating islands and magnificent palaces. Even the members of the Kunshan Lu family were shocked when they saw this secret realm.
"This...this is the secret realm!" Lu Xuening exclaimed, her eyes wide.
"How magnificent! No wonder it was created by an ancient, powerful cultivator!" Lu Yunxing exclaimed.
"Third Brother, I wonder where he's gone?" Lu Yunqi said.
"He must have gone to find Lu Xueyao. Let's ignore him and go find our older brother and the others!" Lu Yunlin said. Now, Lu Yunlin hated Lu Yunshen as well.
Lu Xuening nodded.
Lu Yunxing waved his hand, and a map appeared in front of him.
This is a map of the secret realm.
Sects like the Lu Clan of Kunshan, which conducted the first exploration, all possess maps of the secret realm. Therefore, disciples must have a copy of the map before entering the secret realm.
"Let's go, this way!" Lu Yunxing flew off in one direction.
Lu Xuening, Lu Yunqi, and the others followed.
Lu Xuening was unaware that the instant she entered this secret realm, in the deepest, most profound part of its depths, in the pitch-black void, a pair of blood-red eyes opened, and a voice echoed through that void: "Four hundred million years have passed, and you still have descendants existing in this world, A-Tang..."
————
The towering peaks resembled countless sharp swords, shrouded in mist and clouds. Within the mist, a streak of azure lightning bolt raced rapidly in one direction.
The speed of this azure lightning was extremely fast, almost comparable to the escape speed of a great cultivator in the Void Refinement stage. On the mountain peak ahead, two savage beasts were fighting fiercely. One of these beasts was shaped like a snake, and the other was shaped like an eagle. Both of them were enormous, reaching hundreds of feet in length, and both had the cultivation level of the late Nascent Soul stage.
The azure lightning streaked past the two savage beasts at lightning speed, startling them.
A figure emerged from the azure lightning—it was A Yao. Upon entering the secret realm, A Yao immediately connected with her four clones, their memories instantly synchronizing. She was currently rushing to a destination, and to increase her speed, she simply enveloped her entire body in the Taiqing Divine Lightning.
