Chapter 140 What a coincidence

Upon seeing the crooked, chicken-claw-like characters, Shen Suiren immediately recognized that it was the Little Fox King's own handwriting.

"I want to go in and take a look. Do I still have to break the formation?" The Little Dragon King stood in front of the monument, looking very unhappy. He had even helped carry the monument.

Chongming stretched out his claws and grabbed him and Ji Yu, then flew them into the doorway.

Ah Bai, understanding that everyone had been remembered by the stone tablet, tried to grab Shen Suiren along with her, but the latter cleverly jumped away.

"Tiger King, please go first. I have things to do." She didn't want to be carried at all. Of course, she also needed to figure out the route back to the Shen family. Ancestor Wu really couldn't hold on for long enough to travel the entire cultivation world.

Ah Bai nodded, leaped into the gate, and the gate closed silently.

After Luo Shan Xingjun and the others returned from the formation, their biggest concern was: "Young friend Shen, how long will it take for the secret realm to officially open?"
Soon, the Taiyi Sect's Wrathful Sea Secret Realm will be open for a month; it would be best to stagger the opening times of the two events.

Young friend, you can also join the Shen family's children and try your luck inside.

Previously, Wu Xuanzi's condition for helping to explore the dragon vein was that all the secret realms in the Taiyuan Realm that could be opened to the public, regardless of when they were opened, required ten members of the Shen family.

Furthermore, if the quota is not used, it can be transferred to another person by public discussion within the Shen family.

Time limit: 500 years.

"The date will be written on the stone tablet, but I don't know the exact date."

The Angry Sea Secret Realm is only open to those in the late Foundation Establishment stage. The selection criteria for the two are different, so the Shen family members can enter the two places separately.

As for me, I will compete for the qualification to enter the Angry Sea if I have the opportunity in the future.

"This junior has come to invite Elder Luo and several Star Lords to mark the route later for Ancestor Wu to review." Shen Suiren will strictly abide by the rules set by the Ancestor.

Those who join a sect are not allowed to occupy one of the ten slots. If they wish to enter the secret realm, they can compete within their own sect.

Lord Luoshan raised an eyebrow at Lord Zhicheng, implying that they had missed out on a good disciple.

The route map was quickly drawn on Shen Suiren's map. When she took it inside and found Wu Xuanzi's cave, the latter changed his mind.

That's right, the disciples of the Array Sect do have cave dwellings in Beihai No. 4.

A simple white jade bed, silk curtains, herbal cushions, fragrant wooden tables and chairs, and jade tea sets.

The bookshelf also contains many ancient paper books and writing implements.

When Shen Suiren first saw it, he almost put it into his storage ring.

Wu Xuanzi gave her an access token, saying that outsiders could not enter, she could read the books, but she was not allowed to take anything away.

Then he said, "At the beginning of the year, after we reach the Canglan Mountains, other disciples will take turns carrying me. You go and do your own thing."

"Why? You're not heavy." She had already recited her experience.

Wu Xuanzi chuckled: "Ying Sha, I heard from the Little Fox King that your mother has..."

While the Beihai No. 4 is still stable, go back and investigate. After that, you can peacefully go into seclusion for ten years.

Ideally, one should achieve the Core Formation stage in one fell swoop; that would make things much easier later on.

"Ten years?! Isn't it just two or three years?" Shen Suiren turned his hand back.

Wu Xuanzi then explained: "I can only open it for you once, and of course it will take a long time."

"If you want to adjust the time, form your Nascent Soul earlier and change the opening and closing time of your cultivation cave."

Shen Suiren thought to himself that the ancestor really thought highly of him. "I am still a long way from forming the core, but I need to prepare more supplies, keep in mind the formation while not in seclusion, and draw talismans."

Can I go outside and fight monsters? Can I kill them?

Wu Xuanzi flatly refused, "No. If you're too idle, you can plant rice in the nearby spiritual fields or break through the array formations."

You killed a batch of them three years ago; you must give the monsters time to recuperate.

If you wish to enter the Core Formation area to harvest the essence, you must first form your own Golden Core in the secret realm, and then face the Heavenly Tribulation upon exiting.

He paused for a moment and then said, "Go and have the Little Fox King and the others set a limit: the number of spiritual items they can collect after reaching the Core Formation stage cannot exceed one hundred."

Shen Suiren reminded her: "If it is clearly stated on the stone tablet, each sect will definitely only send in the late Foundation Establishment stage."

People like Shen Tinglu and me, who are in the early to mid-stages, have absolutely no chance.

Furthermore, cultivators are completely unable to control their greed when picking spiritual herbs; you should seal off the exit to the Core Formation area.”

"Very well, hand in today's array formation lesson."

"You didn't set it up."

"You said you'd seal off the exit to the Core Formation area. That's your task. Go now."

"..." With no other choice, Shen Suiren had to sneak away from her ancestor to complete her studies.

Faced with the complex array that could change in an instant, she was initially a little apprehensive, but she soon discovered that even if there were errors in the modifications, the array would not turn into a killing array.

So he became immersed in it, constantly using the terrain to transform various spiritual objects that served as array points.

In a day and a night, he carried the Bone Ancestor and ran all over this cultivation cave.

Outside the secret location No. 4 in Beihai, many people she had recruited were already waiting curiously.

"Niao Niao, do you think we can still find the Geng Gold Mine?" Jue Xing loved it the most because it gave him the most merit points.

“I think Sui Chu invited us in to cultivate, so we probably won’t have a chance to mine.” As soon as Niao Niao finished speaking, another line of words appeared on the stone tablet.

The Beihai No. 4 is open for cultivation purposes only. Those who intend to collect spiritual herbs should not enter.

Time limit: ten years.

"We're going to be inside for ten years?" Cheng Zhishun quickly checked if he had enough pills. If not, he would borrow some from his mother.

As he thought this, he looked up to find his mother, only to find Nie Chengzhang turning his head and looking around. "Nie Chengzhang, why aren't you checking the supplies? What are you looking at?"
The surrounding houses were empty; the powerful figures were all standing at the entrance to the secret realm.

"Ji Yu sent a message saying that my master has returned from the secret realm, along with your and Juexing's master," Nie Chengzhang kindly informed him.

"Huh? Neither Sui Chu nor Ao Jian told me." It's infuriating. Upon further inquiry, Jue Xing's message didn't mention that his master had returned, even though his master had already informed him of his safety as soon as he got back.

Cheng Zhishun was even more furious.

He didn't bother searching for anyone; he went directly to Situ Shiyuan to borrow something, saying, "I'll stay at your place from now on."

Situ Shiyuan was a little confused. Just as he was about to ask him something, he saw Shen Suiren walk out of the door looking dejected.

He quickly stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and asked, "Sui Chu, why are your eyes bloodshot?"

"I'm fine, Master." Shen Suiren looked around at the people she had notified, but Luo Ning was nowhere to be seen.

After reading the message on the jade, I learned that Luo Ning had sent a message saying that I should return to the sect to pay my respects to my master first, and then I could enter after the sect officially opened.

Shen Suiren couldn't possibly wait for her: "What matters do you all have to resolve? Give me half a day to settle them."

During the period of seclusion, no one is allowed to leave the secret realm.

There were no members of the Shen family, nor were there any disciples of the Immortal Wandering Sect, including Jiang Xiaoye and a dozen others.

Just as Nie Chengzhang and Juexing hesitated slightly, their master and Guiyue arrived together to deliver supplies to their disciples.

Luo Ning was also sent here. She said, "My master said I was too sentimental and sent me here."

"Is Grandmaster Uncle still with the five Nascent Soul cultivators in the Spirit Realm?"

"Yes, they said they wanted to explore the Dragon Palace."

"No wonder our Grandmaster isn't here." "Without Uncle Zhu Kuang and the Little Dragon King showing up, the Purple Tang Dragon King definitely wouldn't meet with anyone from the Spirit Realm." Luo Ning only learned in the last few days that before luring Elder Chu into a trap, his Uncle Zhu Kuang had borrowed a magic weapon from the Dragon King.

Although it wasn't used, it was enough to show that Uncle Zhu Kuang held considerable influence in front of the Dragon King.

"It seems I'll have to bring the Little Dragon King out later." Shen Suiren thought to himself, and then had the Little Dragon King open the gates of the Dragon Palace, so that the Five Transformation Gods of the Spirit Realm could stay inside for a few more days and not let Ancestor Wu's exploration of the Dragon Vein be disturbed.

After she had made the arrangements, she went around exploring the earth's veins to broaden her knowledge, unaware that news of the North Sea No. 4 was spreading like wildfire throughout the cultivation world.

Even Lianqiao, having heard the rumors, was eager to come and investigate.

Que Er, whose arm had been severed by Tang Zhuixian, immediately tried to dissuade her: "Que Master, even Elder Chu is trapped, we must not act rashly."

"It is precisely because he is trapped that we must leave as soon as possible."

So many people in the Taiyuan Realm have successfully transformed into Nascent Souls, and they haven't even made a move, while we've been chased and forced to hide by just a few Core Formation cultivators.

"If Chu Mo can't hold out and betrays us, the entire cultivation world will hunt us down." Lian Qiao had already confirmed that True Monarch Cen Che and the others returned via the North Sea No. 4.

You can come, and you can go.

Sparrow Two was very clear-headed: "Master Sparrow, only Foundation Establishment cultivators are allowed to enter the secret realm."

Even if it's said that the Little Dragon King came and went, how could the three of us, under the watchful eyes of everyone, hide it from the Nascent Soul stage and enter?

Even if Que San and I hide in your personal space, can you guarantee that the secret realm won't reject those who have reached the Core Formation stage?

Que San received his signal and said, "Master Que, it's better to stay still than to make a move."

We have already left three Core Formation cultivators behind. Heading to the Xuanjian Sect as soon as possible and waiting for the Xuanbei Secret Realm is the best course of action.

Wasn't this your original plan?

"Let me think about it some more." Lian Qiao sensed a hint of danger, which is why she wanted to leave the Taiyuan Realm as soon as possible.

She tried to contact the Sparrow King three times using the Transmission Incense, but received no reply.

She had no idea whether the Sparrow Queen was in seclusion or had given up on herself because of the destruction of the Transmission Tower.

Even if she seeks protection from Xian Si now, he is powerless to help her. With the emergence of Nascent Soul cultivators in the Taiyi Sect, the power of a single Nascent Soul will be weakened.

Unfortunately, Lord Siyu did not return.

"Master Sparrow?" Sparrow Two saw her walk out of the courtyard gate and wanted to chase after her.

Que San stepped in front of him, saying, "Your current situation is too conspicuous. I'll follow you."

"If you encounter the three from the Immortal Wandering Sect again, do not engage them in direct combat," Que Er instructed him.

He nodded in agreement and turned to chase after her for a long distance.

This place is an ordinary small town with scarce spiritual energy and few cultivators living here. Most of the inhabitants are mortals seeking opportunities, because once you cross the Northern Broken Boundary Mountain, you enter the true mortal world.

Anyone with a desire for immortality will head south from here to enter the world of cultivation.

In order to shake off Tang Zhuixian, Lianqiao led the two sparrows through many places from Sea God City before finally settling down here.

But to her utter surprise, as soon as she stepped onto the street, she saw Shen Suiren and her father eating at a roadside stall.

Lian Qiao wanted to go forward and kill them, but she was worried that someone might be hiding in the shadows, so she decisively gave up and went into a shoe store, and sent a message to Que San to lure someone away.

Shen Suiren seemed to sense something and looked around. "Dad, was someone watching me just now?"

She sent Master Wu to the Misty Butterfly Valley near Canglan. After confirming that the place where the Vermilion Bird Bone appeared was a place where the earth's veins were blocked, she did not allow anyone to watch the formation being broken.

The old ancestor said: "The method used below is extremely yin and poisonous. Only high-level cultivators can break the formation. Those with low cultivation cannot get close. Ya Ya can stay, but you are useless here."

You should quickly settle your worldly affairs so you can concentrate on your cultivation and advancement.

So, she was sent by her grandmaster Ziquan to the Alliance Market to meet her father and head north of Broken Boundary Mountain, to the spiritless mortal world.

"They might have recognized you. How about you change your appearance?"
"To prevent some people from taking the risk of abducting you into the secret place." Although Shen Dingru said this, his divine sense swept over the entire small town inside and out.

He actually spotted a lame old man who, after stealing a glance at the beginning of the year, hurriedly left the city and headed south.

"Hmph, stop!" he transmitted his thoughts, but the other party simply tapped a teleportation talisman and continued running.

"Father?" Shen Suiren saw her father frown and stand up. "Who is it?"

"I don't recognize him, but he runs away as soon as he sees me. He must be no good."

"We'll chase after him again when we see him next time." With the Little Fox King not around, Shen Dingru couldn't possibly leave his daughter alone to chase after a potential enemy.

Que San ran a long way but didn't see him. He immediately replied, "Master Que, he didn't come. He probably wasn't with Tang Zhuixian and the other two."

"Shen Dingru dares not leave the beginning of the year, and he is only at the early stage of Core Formation. Shall we go and wipe them out?"

"No, let's follow them and find out the truth about the secret place by kidnapping Shen Suiren." This was a golden opportunity, and Lian Qiao was not about to let it slip by. It was just that Shen Suiren had appeared alone at this time.

Que San thought about it and felt that there was something strange about the little girl named Sui Chu, so he immediately went to Que Er to discuss arresting her.

But he didn't expect that the father and daughter, who openly entered the inn, had secretly changed their appearance and attire.

Shen Suiren went into the spatial hut to play with his father's spirit beast, while Shen Dingru disguised himself as an old Qi Refining cultivator and activated his invisibility jade to leave the city and head north.

When Que Er rushed over, he and Que went into the inn to look for them, but they had already disappeared.

"Why are you two here when you're not near the secret place?" Que Er asked, puzzled, after seeing Lian Qiao.

Lian Qiao pondered for a moment, "The Shen family in the mortal realm, they went to visit relatives."

"Hurry, let's catch up and kidnap them!"

Que Er wanted to say something more, but Que San stopped him: "Being surrounded and chased by three late-stage Core Formation cultivators is one thing, but encountering an early-stage Core Formation cultivator is nothing to be afraid of."

"Alright then." Que Er couldn't voice any further objections.

The three quickly left the city and headed towards Broken Boundary Mountain, unaware that two others were hanging behind them.

"Senior brother, are these three Core Formation cultivators after Sui Chu's wealth?" Wu You asked, puzzled.

Nowadays, cultivators in the cultivation world all know that the Shen family has a Mahayana ancestor who is still alive. No matter what form he takes, he is an invincible existence.

Furthermore, having acquired a secret location in the North Sea at the beginning of the year, it would seem foolish to harbor ill intentions towards her now.

"Let's see, there's nothing else to do anyway." Qin Pinzhang wasn't in a hurry; his mission was to secretly protect Sui Chu and her father.

The two are not in mortal danger, so there's no need to intervene: "Tell me, among the three Core Formation male cultivators, how is it such a coincidence that one has a missing arm and the other is lame?"

"Could it be... I'll send a message to Senior Sister Tang right away." Wuyou chuckled to herself, "This little darling Suichu can catch fish as soon as she comes out."

Shen Suiren was unaware that a third group of people would soon be chasing after her.

When she and her father flew to the top of Broken Boundary Mountain, they found themselves in a place where spiritual energy was almost completely absent, and they were a little unaccustomed to it.

This place is different from the mortal settlements within the cultivation world; it is truly a place of poverty and desolation.

"One mountain, two worlds; there was no Duanjie Mountain before."

The Old Ancestor said that at that time, all the places where mortals lived were filled with spiritual energy.

North of Broken Boundary Mountain lies mostly the territory of the Array Sect. She saw people who had just reached the first level of Qi Refining in the distance, struggling to climb towards the mountaintop.

But as it climbed, it suddenly rolled down, and then it climbed again and rolled again.

Shen Suiren hesitated for a moment, then leaped up and pulled the man up.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she put the person down, a large net descended from the sky and covered her.
