Chapter 912: Chapter 582: Qian Lingxiao’s Suspicion, Strange Secret Realm (2)

A cultivator capable of killing him must at least be at the Late-stage Golden Core Realm.

But those two were merely at the Golden Core Early Stage.”

”Perhaps they used some Exotic Treasure to hide their true cultivation level.” Qian Lingxiao said casually, ”Yesterday, Junior Sister Xiao Jing and Junior Sister Qiao Zhu waited for a long time, but the cultivator who saved them did not appear.

Moreover, they mentioned that person recently traveled with a fat Daoist.

Those two just now match what Junior Sister Xiao Jing described.”

”That should be it.”

Gongshu Zheng nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Then he revealed an interesting expression: ”To even deceive our senses, it seems that the treasure concealing this person’s cultivation is extraordinary.”

”Anyone with Late-stage Golden Core cultivation would have some secrets.

If Brother Zheng is interested, you might investigate when they come out.”

Qian Lingxiao said indifferently.

”Brother Ling Xiao, you speak well. This person has graced your Qiankun Sect with favor. I would not be discourteous.” Gongshu Zheng smiled.

”I won’t hide it from Brother Zheng; I harbor doubts about this person’s background. He rescued Xiao Jing, but the timing was too coincidental.

Moreover, he is elusive about his origins, so I have to question his intentions.

But as Brother Zheng said, he is now a benefactor of our Qiankun Sect, and I shouldn’t offend him.

If Brother Zheng would like to help and probe, it would naturally be best.”

”A mere trifle, if those two can emerge from the secret realm alive, I will investigate for you.”

Gongshu Zheng didn’t decline.

He was quite intrigued by the treasure on the young lad earlier, which could escape his spiritual sense detection.

Lu Qing was unaware that he did nothing yet caught the attention of two Primordial Spirit Realm experts.

At this moment, he and the Five Treasure Taoist had just passed through the space vortex and entered into the secret realm.

”Is this the inside of the secret realm?”

The two operated their Heart and Spirit, dispelling the slight discomfort from the teleportation, and began assessing their surroundings.

Then they found themselves in a very vast space.

At first glance, it seemed no different from the outside world.

Flowers, trees, and mountains and grasslands, full of vitality.

They were currently in a sparse woodland.

But soon, their expressions changed.

”The spiritual energy is incredibly thin in this secret realm?”

The Five Treasure Taoist exclaimed.

Lu Qing’s expression also became stern.

In his perception, the surrounding spiritual energy was exceedingly thin.

It vaguely resembled the level of spiritual energy when the Heaven and Earth Dao Sound first echoed in his homeland.

But contrasted with that, the space’s laws here were very stable, giving them a heavy sensation.

Lu Qing gently swung his arm, slicing through the air, producing a heavy wind sound.

He immediately confirmed it wasn’t an illusion.

The surrounding space was indeed much more sluggish and heavy than the exterior.

As such, not only would their flying speed be greatly affected, but the mana consumption when using the Escape Light Body Technique would also greatly increase.

”This could be trouble.” Lu Qing tried a bit, and couldn’t help but say, ”The spiritual energy in this secret realm is so sparse, and with the space being so stable.

No matter if we are traveling or using Taoist Skills, the mana consumption would be multiple times that of normal.

This way, not only the power of Taoist Skills diminishes greatly.

The consumed mana would have to be replenished with Spirit Stones.”

When cultivators unleash their Taoist Magic, besides activating their own mana, they often cause vibrations in the spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth, creating an immense momentum, greatly increasing its power.

With the spiritual energy in this secret realm so sparse, and without the resonance with nature’s spiritual energy, the mana consumption for Taoist Skills would increase exponentially, and even its power would be severely weakened.

Most importantly, they still hadn’t figured out why this secret realm’s environment was so strange.

”Strange, the new secret realm nurtured by the Divine Mountain this time is so odd, with such thin spiritual energy, which has never happened before.”

Beside him, the Five Treasure Taoist also found it exceedingly strange.

Lu Qing’s heart stirred and he asked, ”Daoist, you say this never happened before?”

”No.” The Five Treasure Taoist shook his head, ”In these days, I’ve collected plenty of information in the city about past secret realms nurtured by the Divine Mountain, but never has there been a case where the spiritual energy was so thin.

Those secret realms from the Divine Mountain’s history mostly had abundant spiritual energy.

This made the secret realm full of treasures; even pulling up a weed might be decent spirit grass in the outside world.

But now, look.”

The Five Treasure Taoist pulled a weed from the ground and felt it.

”This is the most ordinary weed, containing not a trace of spiritual charm, even worse than the weeds outside.”

Lu Qing looked at the weed and could sense it was just an exceedingly ordinary weed.

Even using Superpower to inspect, the result was the same.

”More than that.” Lu Qing’s face grew somber, ”Daoist, there’s another matter you’ve overlooked.”

”What?” The Five Treasure Taoist was taken aback.

”Look behind you.”

The Five Treasure Taoist looked behind but saw nothing unusual, everything was normal.

Just as he was perplexed, Lu Qing uttered, ”We came in through that space vortex, where’s the space vortex now?”

Upon hearing this, the Five Treasure Taoist’s body shook abruptly.

Then Lu Qing’s remaining words echoed in his ears: ”Without the space vortex, how can we get out?”

”Indeed!” The Five Treasure Taoist showed a trace of shock, ”Without the space vortex, can we not go out?

But why is this, according to the records left by Tianshu City, the entrance to the secret realm shouldn’t disappear!”

”There are just two explanations.” Lu Qing calmly analyzed.

”One is that when we entered, the space vortex randomly transported us to a location within the secret realm, not near the exit.”

”The other is that the space vortex only serves as an entry, not an exit, and we must find another way out.”

”But regardless of which, clearly, we won’t get the answers by staying here.”

”Mr. Chen is right.” As Lu Qing analyzed, the Five Treasure Taoist also gradually calmed.

”No matter the reason, we must actively seek out the situation.”

”Then let’s first go to the sky to see what’s happening.” Lu Qing suggested.

”That sounds good.”

So the two transformed into streams of light, flying towards the sky.

But upon rising barely a hundred feet, their expressions changed once more.

For they realized, flying was indeed as anticipated, consuming much more mana than outside.

But even more shocking was that the higher they flew, the space around became more ”heavy”.

Maintaining flight required exponentially increasing mana consumption.

Merely ascending a hundred feet consumed ten times more mana than on the ground.

At a thousand feet, the mana consumed per breath was more than a hundred times what it was on the ground!

”This won’t do, this secret realm seems to prohibit us from long-duration flying, we must descend.”

Lu Qing felt the mana within him being rapidly depleted like snow under the sun, and his face changed dramatically.

Despite his Perfect Golden Core having a deep foundation, with mana accumulation far stronger than the top-grade Golden Core,

but if it keeps consuming like this, he wouldn’t be able to sustain for long.
