Chapter 137 Doubt

"Now? I'll inform my master." Shen Suiren couldn't possibly carry her ancestor out alone, and even with Chongming by her side, she would have to be extra careful.

When she returned to Elephant King Valley three years later, she had a master by her side, but Elder Cen Che, who had always helped her, was nowhere to be seen.

"The trial grounds are not here," Chongming and Wuxuanzi said simultaneously after surveying the area.

Wu Xuanzi pinched his hand, which had distinct knuckles, and calculated the orbit that Wu Wu had observed for many years. After a long calculation, he said, "It is near the Xuanhuang Realm."

She wasn't used to calling it the spirit world.

"People from the Spirit Realm have entered the secret realm?" Zhu Kuang was somewhat worried that the people from the Spirit Realm might leave this secret realm there forever.

Wu Xuanzi was not worried. "We'll know the result in twenty-eight days."

This trial ground is called North Sea No. 4. It travels for twenty-eight days each time before returning to its starting point in the North Sea.

"North Sea? Which North Sea? The place where the Demon Court and the Xuanjian Sect meet has glaciers and ice fields, which is said to be the former North Sea."

North of the Demon Moon Sect lies the Crimson Flame Desert, bordering the mortal realm, also known by popular legend as the North Sea. Inside the black coffin, Shen Suiren's divine sense swept across the entire map of the Taiyuan Realm.

Wuwu climbed up to take a closer look, but the little fox king grabbed her and said, "Don't block everyone's view."

True Monarch Wen Jin, who had come from the sect, pointed to a place closer to the Asura Sect: "And here, there is no spirit, no wood, no water, and sandstorms that blow year-round."

Similar to the Broken Wind Cliff of Shaowu Mountain, both feature a naturally formed, sheer cliff face.

It should be known that in ancient times, the four schools of alchemy, artifact crafting, talismanic arrays, and arrays were located in the four directions of east, south, west, and north.

From the Xuanjian Sect westward to half of the Xianyou Sect and one-third of the Moyue Sect, all are under the jurisdiction of the Zhenzong Sect.

After she finished speaking, she immediately transmitted her voice to Zhu Kuang Zhenjun: "Senior Sister, none of the three places are under the jurisdiction of my sect."

"It feels like I've waited so long, it would be a huge loss to give it up."

Wu Xuanzi denied it: "None of the three are correct."

The place you're pointing to looks like the earth's veins have been severed.

The North Sea No. 4 was originally a fragment of space, which was transformed into a trial ground after being cultivated and modified by the Array Sect over several generations.

Then he pointed to a spot and said, "Here."

"The angle between the sun at the northern ends of the two snow-capped mountains, Baika and Fumo?" Despite lying in the coffin, Shen Suiren could immediately calculate the ecliptic longitude and said, "There is a natural sinkhole here."

It extends all the way to the Crimson Flame Desert, bordering the Gobi Desert of my sect, Wuchuan.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and guard it quickly."

"Senior sister, where is Cheng Zhishun?" The Little Dragon King finally woke up after a good night's sleep and listened to everyone talk for a long time before he understood that they had to move land again.

"Also, moving land twice in such a short time, won't that make me stunted and unable to grow taller?" the Little Dragon King expressed deep concern.

Situ Shiyuan picked him up: "Junior Uncle will grow taller. Cheng Zhishun is in seclusion in the market of Taiyi Sect."

"Oh, even the laziest Cheng Zhishun is in seclusion. Why aren't you cultivating at the beginning of the year?"

"Your cultivation level is too low; there are some places I can't take you to play." The Little Dragon King intermittently adopted an elder's tone.

"Thank you for your concern, Junior Grandmaster Uncle, but it's not time for me to go into seclusion yet." She sets aside two hours each day to cultivate, using her rest time as well as her sleep time, without neglecting to learn formations. It couldn't be more enjoyable.

The only slightly unusual thing is that Master Wu discovered he was cultivating the Great Dream Technique, and he kept pulling himself into the black coffin to lie in her place.

This is because after Ancestor Wu woke up, there was a slight mistake when he was making this coffin. Someone has to lie down and act as the core of the formation at any time, otherwise the soul power that was previously gathered in the coffin will dissipate.

“No need to move Beihai No. 4, Xuanwu is enough.” Wu Xuanzi looked at Wuwu’s thin tortoise shell.

"If the Little Dragon King is willing to lend a hand, the speed will be even faster."

The Little Dragon King was quite pleased with himself, "See? I told you you couldn't do without me! Should we call Ji Yu along too?"

"I'm here, playing chess with the Tiger King. It's a game of checkers made of glass balls at the beginning of the year, it's so much fun."

"Does Ao Jian want to play together?" Ji Yu had been staying in the Little Fox King's space hut.

"Okay, okay." The Little Dragon King flew into the small space in the coffin.

Wu Xuanzi abandoned the idea of ​​replacing Shen Suiren, pushed the black coffin onto the Broken Cloud Boat, and the group flew towards Baika Snow Mountain.

Two hours later, Elder Haoqing of the Taiyi Sect received the news. After thinking for a long time, he went to Elder Luoshan, who had successfully transformed into a Nascent Soul the day before.

The latter is in charge of the alliance's law enforcement department on a daily basis, and often walks around and patrols in different guises. "It's just a secret realm that only appears once in the world, so just pretend you don't know about it."

Good minister, everyone has recommended you to temporarily take charge of the alliance affairs because of your meticulousness and decisiveness.

But some things, you have to turn a blind eye to.

"And you see, Zhu Kuang and the others didn't intend to hide their whereabouts; otherwise, the disciples in that area wouldn't have been able to find them."

Elder Haoqing waved her hand, of course she knew that the Alliance Elder was just a peacemaker: "What I care about is not the secret realm, which is the origin of Chongming, but what was discovered at the beginning of the year."

Especially with that senior member of the Shen family also present, everyone can exchange information and provide quick support if needed.

The array diagram they brought back was very detailed, but the terrain of the Taiyuan Realm had changed, and we couldn't find several locations even when we tried to follow the diagram.

"With the Dragon Palace about to open, once those spirit realm cultivators arrive, they will definitely interfere with our cleansing of the earth's veins."

"so?"

"Could we ask Fellow Daoist Ziquan what's going on and whether he needs our help?"

"Haha, he's right next door, why don't you just go find him?"

"He has reached the Divine Transformation stage, while I am at the Nascent Soul stage."

"Haha, okay, okay, I'll go find out."

Ziquan Xingjun only said, "It has nothing to do with the earth veins. They are calculating whether the secret realm will reappear in the near future."

After all, the pills refined from the spiritual herbs inside have exceptionally good effects.

Lord Luoshan knew that he had not told the whole truth, but he was satisfied with any explanation.

Neither of the two people in the conversation, including Wu Xuanzi, expected that Beihai No. 4 would collide with a meteorite from outer space on its return journey.

The life tablets of Little Fox King, Chongming, and Wuwu immediately buzzed with warnings, and streaks of blood kept appearing on their bodies.

The other demons were all stunned.

At the hour of Si (9-11 AM) on Tianhu Peak, Huo Huo was the first to faint. Fortunately, Situ Huangshang had been paying attention to the situation and rushed over to save the demon and send a message to the sect leader.

"Master Wu?" Shen Suiren couldn't move and could only watch as his master and Ah Bai fed medicine to the three demons.

Zhu Kuang's heart skipped a beat. The healing spells she and her junior sister cast in quick succession couldn't outlast the newly inflicted wounds on the demons. "Senior Wu."

"Oh no, it must be that Beihai No. 4 has been attacked and has deviated from its course."

"Go back quickly and bring the other two demons and their life tablets to join them." Wu Xuanzi was furious, not knowing which brilliant strategist in the sect had devised the plan to treat the five demons as half-realm spirits of the secret realm.

Perhaps the original intention was that future generations who obtained the secret place should treat the lesser demons well, but extreme situations were not taken into account.

"I'll adjust the direction." Wen Jin had just turned around when Wu Xuanzi jumped back into the coffin and replaced Shen Suiren. "Chongming and the others can only suffer in silence until the rotation speed of the secret realm returns to normal before they can stop inflicting new injuries."

"Do you have any ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow? It can be mixed into the spiritual water to temporarily slow down blood flow."

"Yes, yes, yes." Shen Suiren quickly took out the remaining ice marrow and released three large bath tubs with a bang.

Fortunately, after studying at the Shen family for a few days, the Little Fox King had many household items added to his collection. "Grandmaster, spirit spring water."

She rarely brewed tea, and her Qiankun teapot rarely contained spiritual spring water.

After all that work, the three demons' blood finally stopped flowing too quickly. Only then did the little fox king dare to cry out in pain: "When can this end?"

Who has the answer? But Shen Suiren kept pouring ice water on her and coaxing her, "It'll be soon, it'll be soon!"

"That's all you know how to say, 'Waaah...it hurts.'"

"It'll be ready soon, it'll be ready soon." You can't buy knowing this with money.

Shen Suiren regretted not urging Chongming to secure the secret location sooner.

At this moment, Ji Yu pointed at the little fox king with delight, "It's not flowing anymore, it's not flowing anymore."

Around the same time, Cen Che on the Beihai No. 4 was also regretting going to save Ao Chen, causing his eldest disciple to break his bones.

"Yuanbei, hang in there a little longer. The earthquake is weakening, and we'll be able to get out of the spiritually desolate zone soon." Since there's no spiritual energy, he can't refine pills there, so he can only set Yuanbei's bones and apply some bone-setting plaster to relieve the pain and help him recover slowly.

"It's alright, Master. That meteorite was indeed very sharp."

Unfortunately, it flew away right before our eyes again. Yuanbei had twenty-three broken bones in his body, and was in so much pain that he could hardly breathe, but he didn't want his master to blame himself too much.

Fortunately, Ao Chen consciously carried him on his back, saving his master from getting tired.

"I don't want to see them again. We were peacefully gathering spirit herbs when a bunch of meteorites suddenly flew in and crashed into this desolate area."

"If it weren't for the alternating extreme heat and cold, I would have thought I had returned to the desolate land of the spirit world." Luo Heng disagreed.

Guiyue tightened his robes and walked with difficulty in the wind: "Hey, weapon refiners love to use rare stones and treasures to refine weapons."

"Ahem, Chi Xin, Hu Xi, and Huai Shan have been scouting for so long without any news. Could they have gotten lost?"

Damn it, I really, really feel out of sorts without being able to project my divine sense.

“We won’t get lost, Chief Hu has a very keen sense of smell.” Ao Chen looked downcast, not because he had caused Yuan Bei’s injury, but because he didn’t know if they could get home from this place. He wondered if his child would be alright without his protection.

"I'll go check ahead," Luo Heng said, going to provide backup.

With a glance at Guiyue, he stopped and looked at the five Nascent Soul cultivators from the Dao Inquiry Sect on the side. After entering this realm, everyone's cultivation was restricted to the Core Formation stage.

Now, another problem arises: the spiritual energy and divine sense in the dantian are unusable.

Yes, the Dao Seeking Sect did not send any more disciples of higher rank; they believed in letting things take their natural course.

No way, only those with cultivation levels above the Nascent Soul stage can get in.

Since the highest cultivation level currently restricted in the Taiyuan Realm is the Nascent Soul Realm, then we should send five Nascent Soul Realm disciples.

The five people are surnamed Qian, Tang, Jiang, Hu, and Chun respectively.

They exchanged a glance but smiled without speaking. The errands were naturally left to those with lower cultivation levels.

Cen Che observed their actions and said, "Luo Heng doesn't need to go; the dispersed group is too much of a hindrance to our progress."

Yuanbei sighed inwardly. The Dao Asking Sect originally intended to send people to make friends with various parties in the Taiyuan Realm, but these five people were clearly unqualified.

I wonder if Elder Yuan will regret it in the future.

Just as everyone was sighing, the howling wind suddenly stopped, and the scorching heat returned.

As the group was quickly removing their robes, a violent tremor came from beneath their feet.

"Is the earth going to shake again?" Ghost Moon reacted quickly and used the Immortal Binding Rope to tie up Luo Heng.

Just as Cen Che finished tying up his apprentice, a cloud of dust appeared ahead, and Chi Xin's voice pierced the air: "The spirit will no longer be lost beyond a hundred miles."

"Great!" Luo Heng couldn't help but leap up, pulling Gui Yue so hard she stumbled.

Unexpectedly, after riding the demonic beasts that Chi Xin and the other two had brought them out of the Spirit-Severing Zone, their cultivation level was only at the Foundation Establishment stage.

"What kind of place is this? Every step I take lowers my cultivation level." Luo Heng started muttering again.

But Cen Che was happy to release the Cloud-Breaking Boat, as long as it had spiritual power, that was good. "Yuan Bei, take good care of yourself after you get on the boat."

He fed the little fox king the best healing medicine, but unexpectedly, the fox clan chief Hu Xi came to the bedroom and said, "I can smell the little fox king's scent."

Cen Che's heart skipped a beat. He scanned the terrain below with his divine sense and soon discovered that this was the Elephant King Valley Secret Realm.

Not only him, but also Huai Shan Gui Yue and others quickly discovered that the terrain below seemed familiar.

After all, the maps drawn by the disciples who came three years ago were combined and redrawn by the Nascent Soul cultivators.

But Yuanbei was the only one unfamiliar with the area. "I've never been here before. I came in at the Core Formation stage and left at the Core Formation stage."

It took less than a month, well, about twenty-eight days.

“The earthquake shook the earth and a meteor shower fell before, so I’m afraid the time you mentioned is not accurate.” Master Huai Shan glanced at the flying boat behind him.

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Yuanbei, if we stay here for an extended period, we must be wary of those five."

Yuanbei nodded: "We should be on guard. I'm not familiar with them either, but I'll try my best to avoid conflict."

The Dao Asking Sect is considered a second-rate sect in the Spirit Realm, but that's in comparison to the Taiyuan Sect.

In reality, its territory is no smaller than that of the Sword Sect, and its members, including those at the Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation stages, number several hundred.

Furthermore, Nascent Soul cultivators usually seek opportunities outside the sect and rarely remain there.

"Several hundred? With those at the Void Refinement stage, wouldn't it be over a thousand?"
The combined number of Nascent Soul cultivators among the human race in the Taiyuan Realm probably doesn't even equal the number from a single sect there.

"What if all their sects send people to attack the Taiyuan Realm?" Ao Chen had never been clear about the number of high-ranking humans.

Yuanbei laughed and said, "That's why we want to join the Spirit Realm Sect."

However, it's not that exaggerated. Apart from the Taiyuan Sect being too large, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in other sects is about the same as the number of Core Formation cultivators in our sects.

The Refinement stage is less than half the size of the Nascent Soul stage, and it has a fatal weakness.

During the Integration Stage, a sect typically has only five to seven or eight members.

In the Mahayana stage, there are very few sects like the Sword Sect with three such individuals.

"The Sword Sect is strong, so why do you want us to join the Dao Seeking Sect?" Luo Heng had always wanted to ask him the reason.

Cen Che glanced at him: "Yuan Bei only advised me to pursue the Dao."

You did it voluntarily.

"..." Luo Heng was furious. It was clearly his disciple who invited everyone to be guests.

Yuanbei ignored his words and pondered for a moment before asking his master to create several soundproof barriers before saying, "I suspect that the Dao Asking Sect was taken over and strengthened by the last Nascent Soul senior who ascended to the Taiyuan Realm 20,000 years ago."

Moreover, he is very likely still alive.

"Yuan Wen Xingjun?" Everyone was astonished.

This man was a rogue cultivator who devoted himself to cultivation and never joined any sect. In just a few hundred years, he suddenly transformed into a deity and left the Taiyuan Realm.

Yuanbei nodded slightly: "Twenty thousand years ago, the Dao Seeking Sect was so poor that it was almost selling its sect."

The True Lord of Loyal Heart asked, "What is your basis?"
No, even if he were to take over, the Dao Seeking Sect should be making a big deal out of it.

“No, he needs to save his life…” Yuanbei hadn’t finished speaking when the Broken Cloud Boat suddenly began to rock violently.

"Jump ship!" Cen Che grabbed his disciple and flew away, with everyone following closely behind. In the blink of an eye, the Cloud-Breaking Boat crashed into the mountaintop.

At the same time, Shen Suiren, with the help of Ya Ya, pressed the life tablets of the five demons into the underground stone tablet.

"Activate the Qi Refining Technique and guide the life tablet along the predetermined route," Wu Xuanzi transmitted telepathically.
