Time flies, and nearly a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.
As the secret realm drew closer to its closing, everyone gradually woke up, and even those who hadn't woken up were woken up one by one by Rat Treasure.
As expected, each one yielded a considerable harvest, except for the innate divine treasures such as the Fire Spirit, Wood Spirit, Water Spirit, and Phoenix Flame Heavenly Seal, there was no significant progress.
The rest of them all made significant progress.
Xuejie, Duran, and Dutao have successfully reached the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm; Tianchen, Erhou, and Duhan are at the early stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm; Tianluo, Chengxu, Xuanjing, Baiyue, Minglan, and Zisu (who also happened to be with the Five-Colored Rhombus Flower) are at the late stage of the Integration Realm.
Furthermore, Jiu Ruo has successfully evolved into a Qilin and is currently still dormant and digesting; Yao Guang Ding has also awakened and regained its original vitality; and Shu Chi's soul has become more stable.
As for our yam, it successfully broke through from the mid-stage of the Out-of-Body stage to the Integration stage, skipping two major realms and four minor realms.
It's just that because the Wuhua Secret Realm lacks the rules of the outside world, none of them have undergone the baptism of lightning tribulation yet, so their cultivation is somewhat superficial and not solid enough.
Only after going out to undergo tribulation can it be stabilized.
However, with the golden light of merit on the yam and the gift of Heaven, their tribulation of lightning will not be too difficult to overcome.
Besides, the second senior brother, Gu Borong, also reached the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm and was waiting to go out and undergo the Tribulation Transcending Realm as well.
As for the spiritual essence of this world, due to their nearly 100 years of cultivation, only about 10% remains.
This also shows just how incredible this place is.
Looking at the remaining spirit marrow stones, the senior and junior disciples did not take any more of them. They removed the array plate, and Shushu put all the companions except Xuejie into his space before leaving.
Upon exiting, the difference in the density of spiritual energy between the two spaces was immediately apparent. All three experienced brief discomfort, but quickly recovered.
After figuring out the direction, the senior and junior disciples did not linger and headed towards the exit at a leisurely pace.
They had already agreed that when they were about to reach the exit of the secret realm, Shushu would crawl into Gu Borong's spirit beast pouch, and he would take her back to the Great Enclosure.
Considering that the secret realm is nearing its end and it would be easy for a person to be targeted, the journey before that point will be traveled together by the senior and junior disciples and Xuejie, which will also make it easier for them to look after each other.
Just as they suspected, the atmosphere was visibly tense on the way to the exit.
Not long after the three of them left, they encountered a group of people who tried to lure them into a trap by playing the victim.
The other party's acting was really clumsy, and the senior and junior brothers and sisters saw through it easily.
Turning the tables, the three men successfully robbed the man, stripping him down to his undergarments, tying him up, and hanging him on a tree branch before swaggering away.
The rest of the journey was even more exciting, with different thrills almost every day, whether it was encountering robbers or fighting.
The three of them were ruthless; when they encountered robbers, they would rob them back; when there was a fight between the two sides, they would quietly hide in the back and pick up the scraps.
And I must say, the two brothers and sisters have gained a lot along the way.
I also collected all the spiritual plants for Erhou's medicinal bath. As soon as we leave the secret realm, I can start arranging to help it temper its body.
In addition, the route to the exit of the secret realm happened to pass through the unicorn tribe's territory, so Shushu also sent Dutao and the others back along the way, while he and Erhou went to harvest its spirit fruit garden.
Then, after harvesting a large amount of millet and potatoes, they continued to follow Gu Borong towards the exit.
As they got closer to the exit, they felt an inexplicable sense of tension creeping over them.
Finally, with about ten days left before the secret realm closed, Shushu and Gu Borong encountered a premeditated ambush targeting them.
The leader was a member of the Blue Pine Sect. They were very willing to go all out, deploying dozens of Nascent Soul stage cultivators to set up a trap, just waiting to kill Gu Borong.
If Gu Borong hadn't unexpectedly obtained a good opportunity to advance to the Tribulation Transcending stage, and hadn't encountered Shushu, this trip might have truly been a matter of life and death.
The outcome of this battle was, unsurprisingly, a victory for them.
To avoid Lan Songmen using their secret techniques to witness the last moments of these people's deaths and then coming to them with accusations, Shushu and Gu Borong did not kill them directly.
Instead, they beat everyone until they were barely alive, then threw them into the territory of those man-eating spirit beasts and watched them being swallowed whole.
They left a trace of their divine sense on them to confirm that they had all truly died before the brother and sister turned and left to continue their journey.
When they were only half a day's journey from the exit, Shushu transformed into a spirit mouse, took Xuejie back into its spatial storage, and then crawled into Gu Borong's spirit beast pouch.
To be honest, Shushu didn't like the space in the spirit beast pouch. Not only was it lacking in spiritual energy, but it was also dark and murky.
But there was no other way; since we couldn't steal someone else's token, we had to resort to this desperate measure.
Fortunately, the rest of the journey went smoothly without any further incidents, and Gu Borong successfully reached the exit and reunited with some of the people who were on good terms with the Liuyue Sect.
After waiting cautiously at the exit for a whole day, the exit of the secret realm slowly opened under everyone's watchful eyes.
Without anyone needing to do anything, the token emitted light, forming a bubble that enveloped the token holder, who then rushed into the entrance.
The cat, who was carrying the millet in the spirit beast bag, was also successfully taken out of the Wuhua Secret Realm by Gu Borong.
Just as they were about to land safely, an unexpected change occurred. For some unknown reason, the secret realm behind them emitted a deafening roar.
Immediately afterwards, a powerful gust of air swept over, and the space passage where everyone was located was instantly covered with countless spider webs, teetering on the verge of collapse.
The bubble enveloping them burst with a bang, and everyone was thrown out, dizzy and disoriented.
The storage bag containing the millet was unknowingly separated from Gu Borong under this intense impact.
Gu Borong instinctively tried to reach out, but found that he couldn't move at all. His spiritual power and divine sense were as if they were being held down by an invisible hand, and he couldn't release any of them.
He could only watch helplessly as the spirit beast pouch drifted further and further away from him, his eyes wide with fury.
Gu Borong only had time to untie all the restraints on the spirit beast pouch before his vision was filled with a blinding white light, and he could no longer see any trace of the spirit beast pouch.
