The celebratory banquet concluded amidst lively discussions.
Five days later, the secret realm will open.
The opening of the secret realm was so sudden that all the major sects rushed there, almost missing the opportune moment.
"The opening of this secret realm is really strange. Not only was it delayed, but the timing is also so arbitrary."
"Yes, if it weren't for our sect leader's spaceship flying so fast, we might not have been able to catch up."
"Look, the Heavenly Mystery Sect arrived the earliest; they seem to have been waiting for a long time."
The disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Sect stood on the spaceship, looking at the green rift that had opened in the distance. Some disciples sat down after looking for a while, feeling bored and tired.
Nian Wanzhou took the lead in sitting down. She didn't want to be stared at, nor did she want to transform into a dragon to attract attention.
He simply huddled among a group of disciples, using Le Xi, Song Yan, and others as shields.
Wei Wenru stood at the front, carefully observing the mysteries of the opening of the secret realm with the sect leader and others, and learning a lot.
The Guixu Sect's spaceship was parked right next to theirs, giving the impression that the two were good buddies.
After all the participating sects finally arrived, the secret realm opened without warning before the sect leaders could even unleash their power. The long, narrow opening was filled with dense mist and spiritual energy.
"Alright, send them in. The sooner they go, the sooner they'll return." The sect leader spoke first, a spell appearing in his hand, glowing with the same green light as the secret realm.
"All disciples, listen up! The secret realms are entered randomly. No matter where you are, remember, if you can't win, run. The jade tokens have all been distributed to you. If you encounter danger, crush the jade token to escape. Don't risk your life for petty gains," the Xuanwu Sect Master added.
Then all the sect leaders worked together, using hand seals to open the passage to the secret realm and teleport their disciples inside.
Before going inside, Nian Wanzhou gripped Wei Wenru and Nan Yu's sleeves tightly, unwilling to let go, "We can't be separated! No, no, no!"
After a long chatter, Lexi secretly grabbed Nian Wanzhou's hair and was teleported inside.
After a moment of darkness followed by a flash of green, and then the light returned, the group found themselves in a secret realm.
The familiar sense of space and the vibrant energy made Nian Wanzhou gasp for breath: "Ah! This familiar environment, these familiar flowers and plants! Nan Yu, we've returned to our happy old home!"
Nian Wanzhou tugged at both sleeves, laughing happily.
Her cheerful laughter blended perfectly with the lush greenery amidst the flowers and plants, making those around her happy as well.
"Really? Wanwan, this looks just like our Qinghu Secret Realm!" Nan Yu excitedly followed Nian Wanzhou's gaze.
The southern fish, born in a secluded habitat, must really love this vibrant environment; it's like a fish in water.
"Alright, we're here for training, so keep an eye on your surroundings~" Wei Wenru saw Nian Wanzhou's long-lost, genuine smile and was happy for her.
However, the most urgent task is to pay attention to the surrounding environment.
As soon as she finished speaking, a gust of wind blew up, the surrounding trees shook violently, and a large, leafy tree was uprooted.
A huge, ferocious green python crawled out of the tree, with bird feathers still stuck in its mouth, indicating that it had just finished eating.
Upon seeing Nan Yu and the others, it actually lunged at them with its claws outstretched, moving so fast that it was difficult to catch with the naked eye.
But none of them are enough to compare to the Southern Fish.
Nan Yu swatted it away with one claw, laughing, "Hey, you only have a hundred years of cultivation, and you think you can be arrogant in front of me!"
The green python was immediately stunned. It hadn't expected that these seemingly weak children would send it flying with a single move. Especially the older woman; the imposing aura emanating from her... made it dare not be arrogant anymore.
It tucked its tail between its legs and scurried away.
Nian Wanzhou jumped up excitedly and praised Nan Yu, "Nan Yu, you're amazing!"
Nan Yu, beaming with pride, reached out and patted Nian Wanzhou on the head. "Hehe, it's nothing. We've fought a lot over territory in the secret realm before."
Although he could never beat those old guys.
"Let's go, let's head that way." Wei Wenru smiled helplessly and pointed ahead.
For now, it's best to travel around, looking for opportunities, and also contacting the rest of the sect. Being able to get together and avoid further danger is certainly a good thing.
The group headed deeper into the forest and came to a flat grassland when suddenly they heard the sounds of fighting ahead.
"Let's go take a look." Wei Wenru beckoned the two of them to conceal their presence and go over, intending to observe and perhaps find something worthwhile.
The three looked down at the tree and saw two tigers fighting for territory.
The two spirit tigers are roughly equal in strength, though slightly more advanced than demonic beasts. Now that they are locked in a fierce battle, it seems difficult to determine a winner, as neither side can gain the upper hand.
The two tigers were tearing at each other during the battle, and the smell of blood filled the air, making it a terrifying sight.
In the end, the slightly stronger tiger emerged victorious, biting its opponent to death before collapsing to the ground, panting heavily. Its gaze drifted towards Nian Wanzhou, and it growled softly, seemingly having noticed their presence.
Nian Wanzhou scratched his head and said to Wei Wenru and the other woman, "Senior Sister, it said it discovered us long before we arrived. Should we... go down?"
Looking at the still growling spirit tiger, she added, "The spirit tiger said it has no ill intentions towards us, but it is injured and hopes to exchange the spirit tiger's beast core on the ground for us to protect it."
"How do you know it meant no harm?" Wei Wenru retorted. She had clearly concealed her presence, so how could she still be discovered?
Nan Yu said apologetically, "Senior sister, Wanwan doesn't know how to conceal her aura yet, and the spirit tiger discovered her just now. However, this allowed the remaining spirit tiger to win, so we... can be considered as not contributing anything, yet still getting some good stuff."
"Senior sister, please don't blame Wanwan. Wanwan's... divine beast aura is indeed very difficult to completely conceal."
Fearing that Wei Wenru would blame Nian Wanzhou, Nan Yu quickly explained on her behalf.
Nian Wanzhou also apologized from the side: "I'm sorry, senior sister, I... I really don't know how."
Wei Wenru didn't blame her. She patted her head gently and said, "It's okay, your senior sister will teach you later."
After saying that, the three of them flew down. Nan Yu was responsible for collecting the spirit beast pills from the spirit tiger; Wei Wenru was responsible for protecting the Dharma and keeping watch for any movement around them.
Late in the year, Zhou... was communicating with Linghu.
The man and the tiger stared at each other, seemingly exchanging unspoken words.
One growled, both afraid and stubborn; the other wailed, raising its little fist and speaking arrogantly.
Finally, a special agreement was reached.
"Senior sister, after my friendly threats... no, friendly communication, the spirit tiger agreed to take us to find something good!" Nian Wanzhou said, raising her youthful face. Her eyes were bright and sparkling, making her look extremely cute.
Wei Wenru turned around and looked at her mischievous appearance, and smiled helplessly, "You really are... Then we'll have to trouble it to lead the way for us."
