Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 476: 482

”Gentlemen, once the Secret Realm opens, do not interfere; when to enter the Secret Realm will also depend on their own abilities, agreed?” Yun Lei suddenly spoke up.

”Excellent!” Several Nascent Soul True Lords from the Profound Ice Sect nodded in agreement.

The reason they agreed to do so was that the Devil Race had an overwhelming number of third-tier Devil Beasts. If they were allowed to enter the Secret Realm first, they were very likely to take advantage of the terrain, and the Cultivators who entered later would be in trouble.

Li Zhirui, naturally, would not refuse a proposal favorable to the Cultivators.

On the other hand, the Devil Race wanted to object, as it was clear to discerning eyes that this was not in their favor; regretfully, they were overpowered by several united Nascent Soul True Lords and eventually had to relent.

Hum——

Accompanied by a muffled sound, the gate to the Secret Realm finally opened completely!

”Fellow juniors, itʼs time to set off!” As soon as Yun Lei finished his words, the group of Golden Core beside him transformed into lightning and flew towards the Secret Realm gate.

Screech!

Xiaoqing shook her body, transforming into her true form, carrying Li Zhixuan, Jiang Fengwu, Li Chenghuo, and Da Qing on her back. With a powerful flap of her wings, she instantly overtook those lightning bolts and was less than half a mile from the gate.

Xiaoqingʼs speed was noteworthy, but she wasnʼt the fastest!

Because from the Devil Raceʼs side, a pinkish-white fox suddenly leapt out of the space, and after a few flashes, it appeared in front of the gate.

”Spirit Void Fox?!” Li Zhirui immediately recognized its species.

He also remembered many years ago when he had seen this very Spirit Void Fox. It had been accidentally ʼcapturedʼ by a disciple of the Great Void Tao, incensing the Devil Race that was once at the southern edge of the Great Snow Mountain, which then triggered a beast tide and forced the Great Void Tao to give it back.

At the same time, the Secret Realm in front of Li Zhirui and the others had also been first discovered by this very Spirit Void Fox, which subsequently led to the Devil Raceʼs catastrophic onslaught on the Great Void Tao.

For some reason, upon seeing the Spirit Void Fox, Li Zhirui suddenly felt a sense of unease, even regretting his decision and considering taking Jiang Fengwu and the others back to Wanxian Island.

Unfortunately, just as Li Zhirui was about to speak out, Xiaoqing had already led them into the Secret Realm!

”I wonder if this trip will bring fortune or disaster…” Li Zhirui murmured in a low voice, his words filled with worry.

After one last look at the Secret Realm, Li Zhirui turned back to the cabin. It was too late for regrets now; he could only wait for them to come out and then act accordingly.

The remaining Cultivators and Devil Beasts, with their diverse Divine Powers, flew towards the Secret Realm at their fastest speed. In a short while, only Li Zhirui and a few other Nascent Souls, along with three fourth-tier Great Devils, remained on this stretch of land.

——

At the same time, within the Secret Realm!

The bewildering spatial traversal that made everything spin around plunged all beings into a state of chaos and vertigo.

It was unclear how much time had passed, but when they opened their eyes again, they had already appeared in the Secret Realm.

Jiang Fengwu took a while to recover, allowing her dizzied mind to regain clarity. The first thing she did was to release Da Qing and Xiaoqing from the Spirit Beast Bag.

She had done this in the instant before entering the Secret Realm because only in that way could she ensure that after entering the Secret Realm, they would still be together instead of being transported to different places like Li Zhixuan and the others.

Similarly, the first thing Li Zhixuan and Li Chenghuo did after entering the Secret Realm was to release the Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts.

In fact, the Devil Race could also use this method. By gathering their considerable forces in the moment of entering the Secret Realm, they could potentially sweep through the Secret Realm.

However, those devil beasts canʼt easily shed their wild nature, each one proud and aloof, how could they possibly be willing to enter the confines of a Spirit Beast Bag?

Of course, more importantly, itʼs difficult for them to submit to a single authority.

”Have we entered?” Xiaoqing curiously surveyed his surroundings.

If it werenʼt for Li Zhiruiʼs repeated warnings before they entered, cautioning him not to fly around carelessly, Xiaoqing would probably no longer be in the same place.

Meanwhile, Xiaoqing and Jiang Fengwu observed their surroundings, looking for any dangers as well as Spiritual Objects.

However, based on Li Zhiruiʼs guess, there should now be no devil beasts in this Secret Realm that could threaten a Golden Core cultivator!

This was because during the last opening of the Secret Realm, the Devil Race pulled out all third-order devil beasts from the realm, which led to the rapid downfall of the Great Void Province.

According to the news that Li Zhirui had gathered, during the opening of the Secret Realm a hundred years ago, the Devil Race took out a large number of devil beasts to strengthen their own forces.

And in the short span of a hundred years, unless itʼs a devil beast with an extremely high lineage or there is some miraculous treasure, itʼs almost impossible for a third-order devil beast to appear.

Of course, there are always exceptions!

So, although Li Zhirui shared his speculation with them, he also cautioned everyone not to be careless and to always be vigilant.

After all, accidents like capsizing in a gutter often happen in this world!

However, Jiang Fengwuʼs luck was average, and he didnʼt encounter such an improbable incident; still being cautious, he began exploring the surroundings in search of Spiritual Objects.

”Over here, thereʼs a concentration of spiritual energy!” Da Qing, whose Divine Sense was stronger, was the first to discover a patch of Spiritual Medicine.

But when they got there, they found that it was only second-order Spiritual Medicine and, moreover, it was the kind that the Li family had been cultivating for many years, nothing precious.

After all, the main purpose for Jiang Fengwu and the others entering the Secret Realm was to find various Spiritual Objects that the Li family didnʼt have, to enrich their foundation.

”No matter, weʼve just entered, thereʼs plenty of time.”

But as time went on, Jiang Fengwu and the two others didnʼt find any valuable Spiritual Objects, even though, when they combined their efforts, their Divine Sense could cover a range of several miles!

Plus, after searching for a day or two, itʼs not that they could claim to have checked a thousand miles, but at least a few hundred miles had been searched thoroughly by them.

Yet, they only found some low-order Spiritual Objects, without even a glimpse of any third-order ones!

And although the Secret Realm should have had many devil beasts, it now seemed as if it had undergone a terrifying purge, leaving only some wild animals or those that had just broken through to the level of devil beasts.

This strange situation, even for the always haughty Xiaoqing, felt a bit off.

”It seems like this Secret Realm hides quite a few secrets!” Xiaoqing mused as he looked around thoughtfully.

Da Qing frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and then said, ”Is it possible that the Devil Race left a trap in the Secret Realm before and then took the opportunity to collect all the Spiritual Objects in advance while the realm was open?”

This would not be hard to accomplish, after all, the Taixu Secret Realm was only closed for a hundred years, which isnʼt very meaningful to the Devil Race with their relatively longer lifespans.

Furthermore, the spiritual energy within the Secret Realm is extremely rich, which actually makes it a blessed land for second-order devil beasts!

Even third-order devil beasts can cultivate in the Secret Realm; they simply cannot break through to the fourth order.

But how difficult is it to break through to the fourth order? Among thousands of third-order devil beasts, itʼs rare to even find one.
