Time flies, and two more days have passed in the blink of an eye. With the opening of the Xunfeng Secret Realm fast approaching, the Tianyan Sect finally arrived late.
Perhaps it's to show off the aura of being the number one sect, or perhaps they just enjoy playing this game.
From the moment the Tianyan Sect's flying boat appeared in everyone's sight, its protective shield was already open.
Not only that, all the disciples stood in neat rows on the deck, like soldiers about to go into battle, exuding a powerful and intimidating aura.
After passing those minor sects on the outskirts, their flying boat pretended to be looking for a location, circling around the three sects, three schools, and one temple they had already arrived at, greeting each one in turn.
Then, amidst a collective silence, it swaggered to a stop at the very front.
Such an exaggerated process was something Shushu, sitting on a small chair on the deck of his own sect, had never seen before. He was so shocked that his mouth was wide open and he forgot to eat the spiritual fruit in his hand.
In her previous life, she had heard that the Heavenly Flame Sect's way of making an appearance was very special, supposedly to demonstrate its sovereignty.
Unfortunately, as an unfavored servant, she was not qualified to stand with Wen Jianxi, so she had only heard of him and had never actually seen him.
Now that I've seen it, I really don't know how to describe how good it is.
So, at a loss for words, Shushu shook his head and decided not to comment. Of course, his eyes never left the Tianyan Sect's flying boat, clearly indicating his intention to watch the drama unfold.
However, before the sweet potato could enjoy its melon for long, the Xunfeng Secret Realm ahead began to tremble, with spatial ripples appearing and disappearing one after another. Clearly, the gate to the secret realm was about to appear.
Seeing this, the disciples from various sects who wanted to enter the secret realm also began to line up in an orderly manner, waiting to enter the secret realm.
The queuing area was a large square, and there were no restrictions on where you could go. You just had to enter according to the order of your sect. Unfortunately, the Liuyue Sect was standing right next to the Tianyan Sect.
As for the Nascent Soul cultivators who led the teams, they were either stationed on their own flying boats to guard them.
Alternatively, they would stand in front of the entrance to the secret realm, holding tokens, waiting for the secret realm gate to appear so they could activate the tokens, open the gate, and construct the passage.
Yes, the key to enter the Xunfeng Secret Realm is actually divided into eight parts, which are held by the four sects, three gates and one temple. They are mutually restraining, but also mutually cooperating.
Each time the secret realm opens, all eight forces must take out the key that their sects keep secret and input enough spiritual power into the key in order to open the secret realm gate. No one can be missing.
This is why, of the 5,000 slots available for entering the Xunfeng Secret Realm, the four sects, three schools, and one temple can take 4,000, leaving only 1,000 for other smaller forces on the Yulin Continent.
One of the reasons Liu Yu wanted to snatch the four spots was this: it was directly related to the allocation of resources.
As for the 500 slots held by each sect, whether they are used entirely by their own disciples or used to curry favor in exchange for resources, no one else cares.
For example, the Liuyue Sect allocates a certain number of slots to the smaller forces it belongs to each time a secret realm opens. These people are now all in the Liuyue Sect's queue.
Since it would be quite a while before the secret realm opened, Lu Li did not let Shushu enter the space now.
After all, what Shushu is currently showing to the public is just a little spirit mouse. When it comes to storing it in the space at crucial moments, people will just assume that Shushu has been put into the spirit beast bag and won't think much of it.
So, just like always, the little yam was hiding inside Lu Li's clothes, its tiny paws gripping the edge of the garment, its little head, wearing a hat, peeking out from the outside, looking around with great interest, finding everything fascinating.
Suddenly, just as Shushu was engrossed in watching, she keenly sensed a burning gaze fixed on her, as if trying to pierce through her.
Following his instincts, Shushu saw a line of Tianyan Sect members near them. There was a very ordinary-looking female cultivator who was staring at him with a fierce look.
When the other person met Shushu's gaze, he not only didn't back down, but glared back even more fiercely, his eyes filled with undisguised malice.
It's Wen Jianxi!
For some reason, Shushu was absolutely certain at that moment that it was Wen Jianxi, and she had seen the same fierce look in her eyes countless times.
Even though the other party's appearance and cultivation level are different now, and they seem to have no flaws, Shushu knows that he will never mistake them.
Thinking of this, Shushu immediately sent a telepathic message to his senior brothers and sisters to inform them of the matter.
At the same time, alarm bells rang in their minds. Wen Jianxi had also arrived, and they had to find Dark Flame Leaf before her.
So the more Shushu thought about it, the more nervous she became. Without realizing it, Mao Mao became so nervous that her clothes bulged out of shape.
"Don't be afraid, your senior brother is here."
Lu Li also noticed the change in Shushu and immediately soothed it by stroking its fur through his clothes, his voice gentle and carrying a calming power.
Upon hearing this, the fumes that had just been rising in Shushu's head instantly subsided, and the inexplicable tremor in his heart disappeared, replaced by a strong fighting spirit.
Seeing this, Lu Li's tense heart gradually relaxed, thinking of the person who made his junior sister so angry.
He first looked at the Nascent Soul cultivators from various sects standing at the entrance of the secret realm, who were completely focused. Then, his gaze shifted, and his divine sense transformed into needles that flew out quickly and pierced the culprit.
Wen Jianxi felt a sudden pain in her mind, and her face turned deathly pale.
She glanced at Lu Li next door out of the corner of her eye, and when she met his cold expression, she was startled. She quickly swallowed a healing pill and managed to muster her strength, no longer daring to cause trouble.
Throughout the entire process, the Nascent Soul cultivators in front did not notice anything, only the few people next to Wen Jianxi noticed something.
Unfortunately, Wen Jianxi's current identity is just an ordinary outer disciple. Those people only glanced at her a few times and then ignored her. An outer disciple who is not useful is not worth their time.
And so, Lu Li settled his score with Shushu on the spot. Shushu, who had been keeping an eye on Wen Jianxi, naturally didn't miss what had just happened.
Seeing that Wen Jianxi dared not look at him after swallowing the pill, Shushu instantly understood what was going on. She clung to Lu Li affectionately, and only stopped after receiving a reassuring pat from him.
Without Wen Jianxi's piercing gaze, Shushu felt much better.
At the same time, the space that had been shaking in front of them emitted a huge roar, and an ancient gate slowly appeared, revealing itself to everyone.
Upon seeing this, the people in charge of the tokens from each sect also threw out their tokens and infused them with spiritual power.
Soon, the tokens merged into one and were firmly embedded in a groove on top of the gate, and the gate to the secret realm slowly opened.
