Enter the secret realm
"Everyone else has four people in a team, isn't it too few for us to have two people in a team?"
Just as they arrived at the entrance of the secret realm, Jiang Chanyi looked around and found that the monks around them were gathered in groups, forming small groups, each of which was four or more people. It was really miserable for the two of them to be together like a small cat and a small dog.
Qian Luo looked at Wu Xingxue and Chu Lianxi not far away. There were also two female cultivators beside them. They seemed to be twin sisters. They were pretty and slender, but their profiles were cold and inhuman. There seemed to be no human emotions in their eyes. It was unknown whether they had practiced the way of ruthlessness.
Jiang Chanyi followed her gaze and smacked her lips, "Here, Wu Xingxue's two maids."
"Maid?" Qianluo felt strange.
"Bai Lu Jianjia has been with Wu Xingxue since she was a child. She serves tea and water, takes care of the eldest lady, practices together, and is a nanny, bodyguard, and cleaner. She does everything!" Jiang Chanyi talked freely and was very familiar with Wu Xingxue's affairs.
Qian Luo glanced at her a few more times. Jiang Chanyi was puzzled by her gaze and tutted her tongue twice: "Look at this, the Frost Blue Secret Realm is completely dark. How many tens of thousands of people must have come here!"
It's no wonder Jiang Chanyi complained. The Frost Blue Secret Realm was renowned, and as long as one made it out alive, they'd be able to find a few treasures, techniques, elixirs, and talismans. They even heard that deeper down inside, there was the legendary Snow Palace! That was where the Snow Realm monks sat and passed away, so treasures and techniques were a given, and there might even be unexpected gains.
For example, how could a powerful nation like the Snowland Kingdom disappear? Who could have destroyed a nation?
"It's a pity that we didn't buy the map, otherwise we would have known the situation in the secret realm."
The Frost Blue Secret Realm is too big. When you go in, you will see a vast expanse of white. You can't tell the directions, and you can't even tell where you are. Most people stay in there for a month, and they are only on the outskirts of the Frost Blue Secret Realm. Even so, they can still get a lot of treasures and skills. It can be seen that the resources in the Frost Blue Secret Realm are rich and coveted.
In fact, the treasures and skills retrieved from the periphery are nothing more than the remains of the corpses under the avalanche. The monks know this very well, but they will spontaneously glorify them as "treasures from the Frost Blue Secret Realm."
"Everyone here is well prepared. We don't have a map, so where should we look for opportunities? Chanyi, you invited me here. I wonder which direction we should go when we enter the secret realm?"
Qian Luo smiled at Jiang Chanyi. Although Jiang Chanyi claimed to be poor and miserable, she actually knew everything about Wu Xingxue and Chu Lianxi. She was either from a prominent family or had a secret source of relevant information.
It would be too foolish to want to go to the Frost Blue Secret Realm to die without some important information.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chanyi suppressed the smile on her face and tilted her head. "You are truly worthy of being my carefully selected teammate. To ensure a smooth journey ahead, I'll share a piece of news with you. My good friend Jin Manlou told me that she got a small map of the Frost Blue Secret Realm, but her mother won't allow her to venture out, so she's now throwing a tantrum at home."
She opened the communication jade slip and looked at it for a while: "She probably hasn't come out yet. We have to go in and wait for her."
Qian Luo frowned: "What if we go in and she doesn't come out, what should we do?"
Jiang Chanyi glanced at her and smiled meaningfully: "In a secret realm, of course we use the most primitive method."
She was planning to steal someone else's map. That's right, this is the basic operation in the secret realm. In the world of cultivators, the winner is the king, the loser is the enemy, and the weak have no right to speak.
Before, the secret realm she participated in was too smooth because of the help of the immortal cultivation simulator, or perhaps the level of the secret realm was too low and there was no danger.
The Frost Blue Secret Realm before him was different. So many eyes were watching him. Here, everyone except him was an enemy.
The Frost Blue Secret Realm hadn't been opened yet. Qianluo looked at her storage bag and saw that there were only a few hundred mid-grade spirit stones, far from enough to top up the simulator. Now that she was in the late Jindan stage, a single simulation would cost a thousand mid-grade spirit stones.
And three days ago, she used her last chance to get the map of the Frost Blue Secret Realm.
That’s right, in the simulation, he used a low-grade longevity pill to compete with Wu Xingxue, and in the end, Wu Xingxue hated him and he died at her hands.
Although she had used up her last simulation opportunity, she felt confident after obtaining the Frost Blue Secret Realm map. If what Jiang Chanyi said was true, then their team would have two maps.
The maps of the Frost Blue Secret Realm are incomplete and scattered among the people. If everyone were to gather together and piece together the map, it would surely be a very rewarding adventure.
Unfortunately, the human heart is unpredictable, and a complete map is more eye-catching than a broken one. No one can guarantee that there won't be a traitor in the team.
She had already seen the map of the Frost Blue Secret Realm. Although she couldn't remember the route, she knew that the Frost Blue Secret Realm was divided into three levels. Many people were circling the outer layer and had not yet entered the first level.
The entrance to the first level is the vortex that appears during an avalanche!
The vortex will only appear at a fixed point. If you want to know where it is, you must always hold the map and find the point. Holding the map will definitely attract enemies.
Qianluo frowned, thinking about the next strategy.
"What are you thinking about!" Jiang Chanyi patted her shoulder and pointed at the colorful flying magic weapon above her head, "They have all set off."
The Frost Blue Secret Realm begins.
Countless cultivators brought out their magic weapons, took protective measures, and entered the Frost Blue Secret Realm together. It was an even more shocking scene than when the secret realm was opened at the Alchemy Conference.
How many people went in with high spirits, and how many people died in the avalanche.
The secret realm is like a bloody mouth that devours life, but people still continue to enter, as if they are all nutrients, providing nutrients for the secret realm.
Qianluo was shocked by her own thoughts, but all secret realms follow the same principle: survival of the fittest, that's all.
"Walk!"
Jiang Chanyi summoned a feather-shaped magic weapon that emitted a green light. It floated lightly in the air. The soft feathers were gently blown by the wind, and a faint spiritual light was emitted in the air.
Driven by spiritual energy, it expanded dozens of times and could accommodate 6 people. "This is my flying magic weapon, the Blue Luan Feather. In the Frost Blue Secret Realm, ordinary flying magic weapons can't outrun an avalanche."
The wheat-colored female cultivator smiled crookedly and nimbly jumped onto the Qingluan Feather. She raised an eyebrow at Qianluo and smiled confidently, "Miss, why don't you come up?"
Qianluo blushed and jumped onto the Qingluan Flying Feather. It felt like she was stepping on clouds. It was soft and comfortable. They could both lie in the crescent-shaped Qingluan Flying Feather, roll around and play, and even sleep when they were tired.
Someone exclaimed: "What a fast speed!"
Although they had only just started, they had already surpassed most of the people ahead. The monks were shocked by the speed of the flying magic weapon. Some showed envy, while others had fierce eyes, their thoughts clearly revealed.
Jiang Chanyi didn't have the time to care what they thought. She quickened her pace and went straight into the entrance of the Frost Blue Secret Realm.
The entrance was covered in white snow. Before she even opened her eyes, she could feel the heavy and cold snowflakes hitting her face. Qian Luo trembled with fear. She touched her thin sportswear and took out a robe from the storage bag, which barely warmed her up a little.
"The Frost Blue Secret Realm is the ruins of the Snow Country. Even cultivators cannot withstand such severe cold." Jiang Chanyi opened the protective cover and took out her wine gourd, tilted her head back and drank it. The spiritual wine went into her throat, and the strong air surged up, and her frozen limbs felt much better.
Jiang Chanyi took a sip and threw it to Lai Qianluo: "Here."
Qianluo touched the wine gourd. It was made of spiritual jade, delicate and small, and warm to the touch, like a hot water bottle. After taking a sip, she felt filled with spiritual energy and a surge of heat rose up.
She wiped her face and found that Jiang Chanyi had a serious expression on her face. She was still looking at the information on the communication jade slip, waiting for a message from her good friend Jin Manlou.
Qian Luo turned sideways and looked at the monks walking below. They seemed to have discovered something. Her happy laughter penetrated the clouds. After a while, several flying magic weapons flew down, followed by flashes of colorful magic light.
She sighed and gazed ahead, seeing nothing but a vast expanse of white. Staring too long might lead to snow blindness. She closed her eyes, crossed her legs, and worked hard to consolidate her late Jindan cultivation.
Because the protective shield was turned on, even though he was speeding through the air, he could not feel any cold. The cold wind seemed to be non-existent, and there was only warm spring breeze inside the Qingluan flying feathers.
"You can sit still." Jiang Chanyi swiped her right hand, and the communication jade slip fell into the storage ring. She crossed her arms, looked at the girl practicing quietly, and chuckled.
——
"Mom, just let me go. I'm already a Dan cultivator. If you don't let me go out, I really can't stand it! I don't want to turn into a hundred-year-old giant baby. If I don't go out, I'm really going crazy!"
Jin Manlou slapped the transparent light shield and cried to the woman outside the formation, "Mom, please, just let me go. If you're afraid I'll be in danger, then give me a few more magic weapons and spiritual treasures!"
She cried and snotted, but her mother remained unmoved. A month ago, her mother had agreed to let her go to the Frost Blue Secret Realm, but for some reason, her mother went on a long trip and did not allow her to go when she came back.
After repeated questioning, she finally found out that a monk had deceived her mother and told her that the secret realm was dangerous, that there was no way back, and that nothing would be left of her body.
"Mom, don't go. Tell me which monk deceived you. I'll go and settle the score with him. What right does he have to say that? We are all monks. We can't be so superstitious. Don't ask those blind people to tell your fortune!"
The woman in the leopard print dress turned around, revealing a beautiful face with a pair of almond-shaped eyes that seemed to smile. "Xiaolou, you are the only heir to Jubao Pavilion. You have responsibilities on your shoulders. It's time for you to focus on learning how to manage the company."
"No, Mom! You're a Nascent Soul cultivator, and you still have hundreds of years to live! I'm a Core Formation cultivator, only over a hundred years old, and I haven't participated in many secret realms. My cultivation hasn't improved, and my experience isn't rich enough!"
"You can't let me just be a flower in a greenhouse, unable to withstand the wind and rain. You have to let me go out and see the world! This Frost Blue Secret Realm only comes once in many years! If I don't participate because I'm afraid of losing my life, I'll be laughed at by Jiang Chanyi!"
Jin Manlou pleaded desperately, his little face flushed, his big watery eyes staring at his mother pleadingly, asking her to awaken the maternal love in her heart: "Fortune telling is not accurate, let's not believe in feudal superstitions."
In fact, it was not that Jin Rongxian was feudal and superstitious, but her good friend Qingmin Zhenjun had once deduced the trajectory of her fate. Jin Manlou participated in the Frost Blue Secret Realm and narrowly escaped death, and this glimmer of hope rested on a strange female cultivator.
Qingmin learned the art of destiny, which was calculated once every sixty years and consumed a great deal of spiritual energy. She begged for a long time before she finally asked Qingmin to help her calculate Jin Manlou's fortune for the next hundred years.
She didn't dare to gamble with her daughter's life, so she could only lock Jin Manlou at home.
Jin Rongxian sighed, brushed away the large waves that fell on her shoulders, raised her hand with red nail polish, and raised her almond-shaped phoenix eyes slightly, her eyes shimmering with light: "You, don't bother with it."
"Just stay here!"
Then, with a "bang", the door closed, leaving Jin Manlou inside the formation.
Seeing no hope, Jin Manlou stared at the map in his hand and sighed, "I finally got this from the auction, why can't I get out?"
She looked around, not yet giving up. Although her mother had locked her in the room, it was only locked with a magic array. She could come and go freely, but she could not leave the room.
Their family runs a treasure house, so naturally they have a lot of magic weapons and spiritual treasures. There is a whole wall of magic weapons, talismans, pills, and exercises in her bedroom... She touched her chin, staring at the treasures on the wall, her eyes rolling around, as if she had come up with a good idea!
"Hehe, a mere formation can't defeat me!"
…
Frost Blue Secret Realm
A group of people were walking in a snowstorm. The snow and wind were blowing on their faces, and they were so cold that they were shivering all over and almost frozen to death. However, each of them had a Fire Dragon Ball, which not only warmed their bodies but also protected them from the wind, so they could walk normally. In fact, they were sweating because they had been walking for too long.
"Sister, I can't walk anymore." A female cultivator's legs softened and she fell to the ground in the snow. Her skin was fair and white snow fell on her eyelashes, which soon turned into water.
"Xiaoyan, just hold on a little longer!" Gu Xianyun used her magic weapon to drag Gu Qiuchi, looking anxious. She looked at the two male cultivators in front of her who had not stopped yet, and gritted her teeth.
"Cousin, how about we change seats?"
Hearing this, the male cultivator in front turned his head. His face was hidden in the black brim of his hat, revealing only a pair of black eyes, as deep and cold as a deep pool.
He frowned and looked at his two cousins: "No, the map shows that this point is the easiest to enter the center of the first floor." In his hand was a small map with three points marked on it, and only this point was closest to the center of the first floor.
There must be a lot of good stuff in the center of the first level of the Frost Blue Secret Realm. How could he miss this opportunity just for his two cousins who were not related by blood?
"If you can't hold on, then we'll go our separate ways. It's not too late for you to turn back now."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Gu Qiuchi snorted, "Sister, did you see that? Gu Wumian is just relying on his talent to outshine us! He doesn't even take us seriously!"
"Everyone knows the center of the map is a good place. What if we run into other cultivators? A huge battle is inevitable, but he insisted on going into the Shura Field! There are so many good spots nearby where he could use magic weapons to fly. He insisted on going underground, leaving us to suffer with him and have no choice but to walk!"
Gu Xianyun could only helplessly listen to her sister's complaints. Over the past century, her sister had diligently cultivated, achieving the status of a mid-stage Jindan cultivator. She was happy for her sister, but since becoming a Jindan cultivator, her sister's temper had become unpredictable and extremely irritable. If she wasn't satisfied, she would speak without restraint and act recklessly.
"Forget it, sister, just hold on a little longer. We will just follow him. If we turn back now, I don't know what the elders will say to us!" Things are different now. With a cousin who is more talented, the two sisters are just dispensable in the family.
Speaking of this cousin, it was strange. She had never known that there was a cousin in their family who was wandering around. One day, the elders brought the cousin home, entered him into the family tree, changed his name to Gu Wumian, and said that he was the wandering bloodline of the Gu family.
When she first saw Gu Wumian, he was only in his teens, but he didn't have the innocence of a child at all. Instead, he had a gloomy face and was very thin. There were bite marks on his arms and legs. It seemed that he had suffered a lot outside.
However, seeing that the elders treated him very attentively, he felt very curious and paid more attention to him. He discovered that his cousin was born with sword bones and it was much easier for him to practice swordsmanship. Sure enough, before he was a hundred years old, he had already formed a pill and became the new generation of genius of the Gu family.
Gu Wumian's cultivation was going smoothly and he never encountered any bottlenecks. Logically, he should be full of energy and radiant, but the higher his cultivation level, the more silent he became and the gloomier his face became, even gloomier than when he just got home, as if he was holding his breath.
This time the map was given to him by the eldest elder of the Gu family, so that he could enter the Frost Blue Secret Realm, bring back some treasures and skills, and test his abilities.
"I don't know why he has such a gloomy face all day long, as if someone owes him millions. The older he gets, the gloomier he gets. I wonder who this kid inherited his traits from!" Gu Qiuchi rolled his eyes and patted the snow off his body. "The blizzard is coming. If we can't find our position, we're going to die in the avalanche."
She raised her eyebrows and looked at the male cultivator following behind Gu Wumian with a sly smile on her face. Gu Xianyun saw through her evil intentions and quickly stopped her: "Xiaoyan, don't do anything rash..."
"It's okay, sis. I'm just teasing him."
Gu Qiuchi had a look of "I know what's going on" on his face, but in fact he was staring at the two male cultivators in front of him. A sneer flashed across his eyes, and the color of his eyeballs gradually darkened.
"Hey, Qu Chun!" She shouted loudly and threw out a poisonous scorpion. This was a level five monster, equivalent to the middle stage of the Jindan period. Its poison was very strong. If a Jindan period cultivator was pierced by its poison needle, he would first feel paralyzed all over, then bleed from the mouth and nose, his spiritual power would leak out, and finally the poison would enter his internal organs and he would die from the pain.
Sure enough, Qu Chun saw that it was a level five monster. He instinctively threw out Green Fire, and a ball of green light hit Gu Qiuchi. Gu Xianyun's heart tightened: "Be careful!"
Gu Qiuchi was not in a hurry. He took out the ancient mirror and shone it on the green fire. With a flash of inspiration, the green fire and the poisonous scorpion bounced back. At this time, Qu Chun just avoided it, and the fire and the scorpion went straight behind Gu Wumian.
This ancient mirror was borrowed from Wang Xin. That silly boy lost to her, so she asked him to steal the ancient mirror and lend it to her.
"Cousin, get out of the way!" Gu Xianyun, as her sister, didn't expect Xiaoyan to be so vicious. She quickly opened her mouth and shouted, but it was too late.
There was a loud bang, and the green fire suddenly exploded, carrying with it the poisonous scorpion, and venom splashed everywhere. The three of them used their magic weapons to prevent the venom from falling on them.
Gu Qiuchi played with the ends of his hair and glanced at the sullen Qu Chun: "Tsk, this kid is so tough he can't die!"
A hint of boredom flashed in his eyes. If he died so easily, he wouldn't be Gu Wumian.
It was also because of the riot of the strange fire that the already heavy snow suddenly made a huge noise, followed by an overwhelming blizzard, which rolled up the snow hundreds of meters high. It was too late to activate the flying magic weapon this time.
"The avalanche is coming!" Gu Xianyun didn't care about her cousin and pulled Gu Qiuchi to fly out quickly. Before they flew a few meters, they were knocked to the ground by the huge snow mountain and buried in the wind and snow.
The heavy snow was like a satiated monster, harvesting the bodies of the four people, slowly retreating, leaving behind an innocent expanse of white.
Gu Qiuchi, who was caught in the whirlpool, opened his eyes. In the empty space, the four of them kept falling. The wind blew from somewhere and blew up the gauze clothes on their bodies, making them look hazy and misty.
She looked at the three sleeping people and smiled: Thank her, the entrance to the first floor is right under your feet.
