Three months after Qi Zhiheng activated the Six Paths Reincarnation Wheel, no more souls were attracted to it. This was likely because the souls left outside had already entered the wheel, and even those still scattered outside were not yet dead.
After receiving the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc, Qi Zhiheng helped Yang Yitian go into seclusion to temper his body.
The process of body tempering requires the preparation of many medicinal soups, which are taken in conjunction with pills. Qi Zhiheng also prepared a medicinal soup for himself to start his body tempering.
The medicinal soup at his level was no longer effective for his body tempering; only a surge of spiritual energy entering his body could slightly enhance his body tempering.
It was absolutely necessary for Yang Yitian's soul to undergo the tribulation of lightning, because Yang Yitian's soul had too many fragments. Even if he could spend many years in the space to fuse them together and use the Soul Purification Water to cleanse the impurities in his soul, soul repair was ultimately just repair. There had to be an opportunity for the multiple souls to be re-integrated.
Qi Zhiheng preferred that Yang Yitian undergo most of the soul fusion during his tribulation, because Yang Yitian hadn't had an easy time fusing his soul these past few days, and too many times might cause him to develop inner demons. It would be better to complete the fusion all at once during the tribulation, which would reduce some of the pain.
After Qi Zhiheng's three sons and his two brothers were released from the space, the small secret realm that Tong Zixing mentioned was about to open.
Given Qi Zhiheng's current status, obtaining the qualification to enter would not be difficult.
He originally wanted his sons to go in and check the situation for him, but when he thought about the possibility of demonic energy inside, Qi Zhiheng finally decided to go in person.
This time, he didn't even bring Yang Yitian with him.
Yang Yitian was practicing his body-strengthening techniques in the city, which allowed him to keep an eye on the city's situation.
As for this secret realm, which is suitable for cultivators below the Integration stage, even if Yang Yitian went in, it wouldn't have any effect on his cultivation. He might as well stay in the city to cultivate.
Qi Zhiheng then refined a pill to suppress his cultivation level and entered the location of the Lanling Secret Realm.
The Lanling Secret Realm is located in Lanling Abyss, and the name of the secret realm is a direct extension of the place name.
Qi Zhiheng planned to take the pill before the secret realm opened, since the effects of the pill would inevitably lower his cultivation level. If he were to be harmed by cultivators in the Mahayana or Tribulation stages at that time, he might get injured.
As for dying, he never thought he might die.
He first used a magical artifact to conceal his aura, and then changed his appearance to avoid being recognized by others.
Before reaching the secret realm, Qi Zhiheng encountered a familiar person, Bai Yilian.
He carefully attached a divine soul imprint to the other person's body.
He guessed that Bai Yilian was closely related to this matter, and that by following her, he should be able to find his target.
Bai Yilian was accompanied by a man dressed in a black robe. Judging from his figure, he should be a man, but Qi Zhiheng had no idea who this man was.
All he knew was that Bai Yilian had joined a sect called the Extreme Fire Sect, which was only considered a mid-level power in the Central Continent. The Extreme Fire Sect only had one cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage, a fire spirit root cultivator who was skilled in controlling fire.
After Bai Yilian joined the Extreme Fire Sect, she was highly valued. It was said that Bai Yilian was a cultivator with a fire spirit root, possessing exceptional talent, and was therefore highly regarded within the sect. Qi Zhiheng knew there was something fishy about this, but he had no way to inquire further. He truly had no way of obtaining more detailed information.
This time, entering the secret realm should be able to unveil the final mystery.
Soon, some murmurs arose around them, discussing the upcoming opening of the secret realm.
It was at this time that Qi Zhiheng took the pill to control his cultivation. Not long after, the secret realm opened, and he entered the secret realm with many other cultivators.
As soon as he entered the secret realm, he sensed that something was wrong with the spiritual energy around him.
These slightly dense spiritual energies contained a considerable amount of demonic energy, which Qi Zhiheng quickly detected due to his sensitivity to demonic energy.
Although the entrance to the secret realm is the same, the location you appear in after entering at different times is different.
At this moment, Qi Zhiheng and Bai Yilian were already far apart, but fortunately, he had left a mark on her so that he could follow the mark to catch up.
On the other side, Bai Yilian followed silently behind the man in black.
She had some things on her mind. Originally, she planned to come to Zhongzhou to find Qi Zhiheng and take revenge. Unfortunately, she had already paid a very high price to become a Nascent Soul cultivator in a short time. Who knew that Qi Zhiheng could become a Mahayana cultivator in such a short time? This was another insurmountable hurdle for Bai Yilian, who was determined to take revenge!
According to the information she received from the man in black robes, as long as she obtained that item in this secret realm, she would possess power comparable to that of a Mahayana cultivator.
Bai Yilian has endured so much pain, and revenge has become her obsession. She doesn't care about right or wrong; she just wants to kill Qi Zhiheng with her own hands. As for what she might face next, that's beyond her control.
But she thought that since she could withstand so much heat in the furnace, she should be able to pass this test as well. She kept thinking about these things the whole way.
Just then, the man in black robes suddenly stopped.
Bai Yilian had no choice but to stop as well: "Senior, what's wrong?" Her resentment towards the man in black robes was no less than that towards Qi Zhiheng. The pain she endured while imprisoned in the alchemy furnace was all thanks to the man in front of her. But there was nothing she could do. If she wanted to gain more power, she had to rely on the man in black robes. Moreover, if she disobeyed his orders, he might very well kill her.
The man in black paused. He had a feeling that someone was approaching, but when he focused his attention, he found no trace of them. With his divine sense, he believed that no one in this secret realm could escape his detection.
He thought about it and realized that he was probably being too cautious, which made him a little suspicious.
"It's nothing," the man in black said, and then continued on his way.
Qi Zhiheng enveloped himself with his soul power. He hadn't expected the black-robed man's senses to be so sharp. If his soul power hadn't been superior to that of a Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator, he probably would have been discovered just now. After thinking for a moment, he swallowed a Concealment Pill to completely hide his aura, and then followed him.
The size of this secret realm was neither large nor small. Perhaps the man in black robes and Bai Yilian were searching for something, and they were moving very slowly along the way.
The man in black robes carefully observed the grass, as if searching for something.
After they left, Qi Zhiheng searched the area where they had just walked, but found nothing unusual.
Qi Zhiheng followed behind the other party for half a month. On this day, his connection with Bai Yilian was suddenly severed, and someone forcefully erased his divine consciousness.
It seems that either the other party has already discovered him, or he has entered some kind of formation.
Qi Zhiheng walked to the last place the other party had stopped and began to observe it carefully.
Since the other party left from here, they will always leave some trace.
Bai Yilian looked at the black-robed man with a gloomy aura without saying a word. She didn't want to cause him to take his anger out on her because of some inexplicable situation.
The man in black robes remained silent for a moment before saying, "You carry someone else's divine imprint on you." His tone was very certain.
Bai Yilian was somewhat surprised: "This, how is this possible? I didn't feel anything."
She immediately realized something and quickly said, "You don't suspect that I'm deliberately possessing someone else's soul, do you?"
The man in black sneered, "It'd better not be you. Now that things have come to this, it's impossible for you to escape unscathed. If you succeed this time, your strength will improve even further. If you're still not happy, do you plan to have someone else save you?" He then chuckled coldly.
“Even if you wait for someone to save you, you can’t save your life. You know very well what’s on you. If you don’t fuse with that thing this time, you will die later.” The man in black robes dispelled his thoughts of running away. “On the contrary, if you obediently do as I say, you can not only save your life, but also increase your strength. Don’t you want to defeat Qi Zhiheng? Don’t worry, you’ve even managed to assemble the fire in the alchemy furnace. This thing is nothing to you.”
Bai Yilian shrank back slightly: "I understand, I will behave well."
Qi Zhiheng followed some clues and searched around. As long as he got close enough, he could still vaguely sense the divine soul imprint belonging to him on the other party.
This was only because his own soul was strong enough that he was able to withstand the opponent's attempt to erase him.
Qi Zhiheng initially went in the wrong direction several times, but as he got closer, he was able to roughly confirm a direction through a faint sense of what was happening.
After confirming the target, he rushed over quickly.
The closer we got to this place, the less demonic energy there was in the air. Could it be that there is some treasure here that can clear away the demonic energy?
At this point, all the previous connections were severed again.
Qi Zhiheng stopped again, trying to guess where the other party had gone.
Judging from the increasingly thinning demonic energy, Qi Zhiheng guessed that the other party's target location was likely the place with the least demonic energy.
The closer you get to a place where the demonic energy is thinner, the less vegetation there is.
Qi Zhiheng scanned his surroundings with his soul power and finally found something familiar in the crevice between the rocks.
Qi Zhiheng took a closer look, and it was indeed Netherworld Fungus! There was Netherworld Fungus here too? However, there weren't many of them; there were only a few scattered Netherworld Fungus around, and if you weren't paying attention, you wouldn't be able to see them at all.
Since the Netherworld Fungus has been planted here, why hasn't it spread? He really couldn't figure it out. After all, these Netherworld Fungus didn't seem to have been planted recently. This secret realm hasn't been opened for so many years, so why hasn't the Netherworld Fungus spread?
