Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 2184: Chapter 723: Secret Realm Showdown!

Jiang Country, Great Dream Marsh.

With the City Lord Mansion announcing the rules of the Hidden Abyss Secret Realm, investing 365 tokens, and offering a Coagulation Crystal Elixir as the first prize, all the cultivators in the Great Dream Marsh were stirred!

Aside from the Four Great Immortal Sects and Core Formation Level forces, ordinary forces had no chance of accessing the Coagulation Crystal Elixir.

Even for a Core Formation Noble Family, seeking a Coagulation Crystal Elixir was extremely difficult.

Thus, the precious value of the Coagulation Crystal Elixir was clear.

Possessing a Coagulation Crystal Elixir is akin to stepping halfway into the Core Formation Stage!

And now, the Great Dream City Lord unexpectedly offers a Coagulation Crystal Elixir as a reward.

This act was like a giant stone thrown into a pond, creating countless waves.

Originally, many were hesitant.

But with the announcement, the False Core Patriarchs of the Great Dream Marsh all emerged, choosing to enter the secret realm and compete for the Coagulation Crystal Elixir.

Even though many Foundation Establishment Cultivators knew they were not eligible, they couldn’t help but marvel, reflect, and enter the secret realm.

At this moment, the Hidden Abyss Secret Realm was unprecedentedly lively.

Numerous cultivators were competing for opportunities within the secret realm. Those with lower cultivation were gathering spirit grass, spiritual medicine, crystal mines, and slaying demon beasts.

Those with higher cultivation and self-confidence, such as the disciples of the Four Great Immortal Sects, directly competed for tokens.

”Boom Boom Boom!!!”

At this point, within the secret realm, a beam of light shot into the sky, and everyone knew new tokens had appeared.

In an instant, cultivators near this area rushed over, starting a chaotic battle.

”These tokens, I shall take them!”

Lu Lingxiao happened to be nearby and immediately flew over, a Vermilion Bird Seal revolving above his head, his fist glowing, blasting out a scorching flame to engulf everyone.

He alone swept through several people, targeting all cultivators who came to seize the tokens, exhibiting boundless dominance.

Some cultivators attacked by him spat out large mouthfuls of blood, among them Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators, unable to withstand Lu Lingxiao’s blow.

”So strong!”

”Wait for others to come!”

Some chose to retreat while injured, while others waited for friends to arrive.

Not far away, Lu Wangshu, in a lavish pink and white dress, with a delicate and bright appearance, quietly watched Lu Lingxiao show off, fighting multiple opponents alone.

After all, her main purpose in entering this secret realm was to watch over Lu Lingxiao.

Lu Lingxiao’s combat prowess was undeniable — he hadn’t even used his [Golden Fire Vine Tree] Magical Treasure, relying solely on the Vermilion Bird Seal to crush everyone present.

Yet this secret realm focused on trials, and he didn’t go for the kill.

Cultivators retreated while injured, wisely choosing to leave the secret realm.

After holding the newly appeared tokens, Lu Lingxiao and Lu Wangshu proceeded to the next location.

As time gradually passed, most Foundation Establishment Initial Stage and Middle Stage cultivators were eliminated.

The secret realm reached its final juncture.

Everyone knew the remaining tokens must be snatched from others’ hands!

Thus, the cultivators within the secret realm began to form alliances for competition at this moment.

”Fellow young friends, please hand over your tokens, I happen to have some other gains for exchange,”

a false core elder leading several Foundation Establishment Cultivators, spotted Lu Qingxuan, Lu Qingze, Lu Qingyan, Lu Chensha, Lu Linghe, Lu Xuanqian, Qin Yi, and others, smilingly said.

He belonged to the False Core Family in the Great Dream Marsh.

Recognizing Lu Qingyan and others as disciples of the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family, he chose to offer peace before resorting to force, unwilling to offend them greatly.

”False Core Immortal...”

Lu Qingxuan, Qin Yi, Lu Qingze, and others exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat solemn.

Though they had numbers, together they could battle a False Core Immortal,

but it would also be a significant consumption.

”Brother Qingxuan, we can fight...”

Lu Chensha, upon seeing this, sent a message to Lu Qingxuan.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t want to confront a False Core Immortal.

But within this secret realm, if he didn’t perform well and let his family be robbed of tokens, he would surely be scolded when he returned.

”Senior, to ask us to hand over the tokens by merely speaking, is hard to comply with. Let us siblings experience the divine skills of a False Core Immortal!”

Lu Chensha, although only at Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer,

had dealings with Lu Qingxuan, aware that as an insect cultivator and beast taming cultivator, his methods exceeded ordinary people, making it possible to defeat the strong with weak!

”Since it’s so, don’t blame this old man for bullying the young,”

the False Core Immortal said solemnly.

Though bullying Foundation Establishment Cultivators as a False Core was bad for reputation,

with such opportunities like the Coagulation Crystal Elixir for first place and top-grade Core Formation Spiritual Objects even for the top ten, offending the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family was not a concern.

Moreover, in the Cultivation World, there was an unwritten rule that grievances from trial secret realms wouldn’t be settled at the table.

As long as he didn’t go too far, like killing all Lu Family disciples, even Changsheng True Master, esteemed as the Vice City Lord of the Great Dream Immortal City, couldn’t openly retaliate and tarnish his reputation.

”Show your real skills!”

Lu Qingxuan didn’t say much, wanting to see the False Core Immortal’s methods.

The Life-bound Spiritual Artifact [Thunder Fire Scepter] appeared in his hand, surrounded by purple lightning and crimson flames, imposing and fierce.

Beside him, Lu Qingyan wielded the Black Dragon Spear, like a nimble flood dragon, directly attacking the false core elder.

Lu Chensha quietly retreated behind them, and myriad ants appeared at his feet, unknown when, glowing with black flames.

Qin Yi, in a black sword attire, wielding her Life-bound Spirit Sword, fought alongside Lu Qingyan.

Lu Qingze, Lu Linghe, and Lu Xuanqian engaged with the three Foundation Establishment Cultivators beside the false core elder.

The battle was about to erupt.

Although there were many tales in the Cultivation World of Foundation Establishment overcoming False Core Immortals,

generally, the strength of a False Core was beyond the capacity of ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
