Chapter 139 Sumeru Secret Realm
They were currently in a dense forest, surrounded by ancient trees, with sunlight filtering through the leaves and illuminating their faces.
Gu Xinyan rubbed her head, which was still a little dizzy from the whirlpool, and then looked around. She saw that they were now in a clearing in the forest.
Not far away, there is a babbling brook. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom at a glance, and occasionally you can see a few brightly colored, unidentified little fish swimming in the water.
A faint scent of grass and trees filled the air, a stark contrast to the nauseatingly bloody scene that had preceded them.
There's a sense of tranquility here, but there's also a hint of danger lurking beneath the surface, after all, this is the world of cultivation.
"Where are we now? How did that vortex bring us here?"
Li Chendong rubbed his sore bottom, which still hurt from being thrown out by the vortex and falling to the ground. Looking at the scene around him, he asked incredulously.
[Host, this is an ancient secret realm, the Sumeru Secret Realm. The place we were just in was probably the entrance to the Sumeru Secret Realm, which is why we were sucked in.]
Little White looked around and slowly descended from mid-air. It had just tried to chat with the spirit of the Sumeru Secret Realm.
But that guy was as arrogant as could be and completely ignored it, which infuriated it.
Sensing a hint of grievance in her little avatar's voice, Gu Xinyan looked at it with suspicion for a moment.
She had some vague guesses about where she was now, and this confirmation gave her a sense of "I knew it."
What's wrong with you? Who upset you?
Upon hearing this, Lu Yunting and the others also looked in Xiaobai's direction. Hadn't they all come to the secret realm together? They wondered who had upset Xiaobai!
[Hmph, host, I originally wanted to chat with the spirit of the Sumeru Secret Realm for a bit, since once you enter the secret realm, you can't leave before the appointed time.]
I originally wanted to ask the spirit to let us out, but that guy was so arrogant and ignored me completely. Ugh, it's infuriating!
Xiao Bai told the others about how he had just been ignored by the spirit of the realm. After all, it takes at least two to three months for a secret realm to open and close, and this was an ancient secret realm, so it might take even longer.
Their mission location this time is in Liuyun City, not in the secret realm. If they were to waste time in the secret realm...
After the secret realm trial ends, we'll need to open a shop in Liuyun City for three months. That means the host and the others will be spending the Lunar New Year on the Cangming Continent this year, and they definitely won't be able to make it back in time.
Xiao Bai got a little anxious at the thought, as it was really looking forward to the Chinese New Year. It had read online that the New Year was a time for family reunions and that the atmosphere was very lively.
It had been looking forward to this day for a long time. If it stayed in the Cangming Continent for more than half a year, it would really have nothing left when it returned.
Upon hearing its words, Gu Xinyan and the others exchanged bewildered glances, none of them expecting that Xiaobai had actually gone to find the spirit realm in the meantime.
However, this is indeed a good method. If the time in the secret realm is not yet up and you cannot leave, then subduing the spirit of the realm is a good solution. It's just that this spirit of the realm seems to be quite arrogant.
Gu Xinyan's eyes darted around, and she said to Xiaobai, who was puffing up her cheeks and chattering incessantly:
"Little Bai, you yourself said this is an ancient secret realm, so it's normal for you to be a bit arrogant. Don't be angry, okay? Why don't we settle down here for now and take a look around this secret realm?"
"You go and try to trick this spirit into coming here. We can take it back to Blue Star with us then. Little White, are we sure we can handle this secret realm?"
Upon hearing its host's words, Little White was dumbfounded. What? What did its host say? Was it supposed to go and fool that big idiot?
But upon hearing the rest, they finally understood their host's plan: to bring the Sumeru Secret Realm back to Earth.
[Host, the secret realm is currently unclaimed, but if I could form a contract with that realm spirit, I could take it with me. However, that secret realm is ignoring me.]
Upon learning that the secret realm could be taken away, Gu Xinyan's eyes lit up. If she could take it away, things would be much easier.
However, if they were to take action, they definitely wouldn't even be able to see a trace of the spirit. It would be better for Xiaobai to take action first, at least to lure the spirit out. A spirit that has existed for tens of thousands of years couldn't possibly be so indifferent, could it?
As for Xiaobai's disdain and complaints, that was easy to handle. Gu Xinyan thought for a moment and then tempted him with her words:
"Xiao Bai, why don't you go and see if you can trick that spirit into coming here, or rather, if you can trick the spirit into returning to our China, then you can have the energy mine that Miler gave you."
Gu Xinyan looked at Xiaobai with a smile and maxed out the rewards. After all, as long as the temptation was right, Xiaobai could always bring you surprises.
Since they've entered the Sumeru Secret Realm by chance, it means they have a connection with this secret realm, and even more so with its spirit. Given such a connection, how could they not bring it back?
The energy mine was originally something Xiaobai had secretly acquired, but she later confiscated it. However, a few days ago, Milair told her that the emperor had given her an even larger energy mine.
It's many, many times larger than the one Miler originally gave to Xiaobai, so using that energy mine to lure Xiaobai into seducing that spirit is still a pretty good idea.
If they could create a secret realm to return to Blue Star, they could frequently go in to fight monsters and level up. Otherwise, relying solely on the Beast Tower still feels insufficient. Such rare and precious treasures are always welcome when encountered.
Xiao Bai, who originally didn't want to go, looked on incredulously after hearing what her host said.
It had been eyeing that energy mine for a long time. It had secretly made a deal with Milair because it was really craving it. But after its host confiscated it, it gave up.
Unexpectedly, it actually had a chance to get it back. It was so excited that its fur stood on end, and it nodded repeatedly in agreement. The temptation of the energy ore was just too great.
Although that spirit was incredibly arrogant, it wasn't entirely out of the question that it could give it a try, given the energy ore involved.
If the last spirit still doesn't know what's good for it, it will knock it out and bring it back to sign a contract with the host.
It's a system that's already halfway into the ranks of the big systems. If all else fails, it will seek help. It absolutely cannot let this energy mine slip through its fingers again.
