Chapter 157 Met
Ao Qi instinctively darted out the door, and three streams of spiritual energy simultaneously slashed at the three people's escape talismans, but unexpectedly a streak of light flew into his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Alright, close the door. I won't possess you." When the Purple Lotus Dragon King's voice rang out, Ao Qi's soul jolted. Looking at him again, there were no three Foundation Establishment cultivators trying to escape.

There was only one female cultivator following the fire qilin into the courtyard.

The female cultivator was naturally Shen Suiren, who had come to keep the appointment with the Purple Dragon Pearl.

What just happened was an illusion cast by the Little Fox King according to one of the pre-planned strategies.

So as soon as Ao Qi closed the door, the little fox king jumped out of the spirit beast ring, raised its paw and waved, "Jiao King, long time no see."

"Tushan, is she Suichu?" Ao Qi didn't want to see the Tushan clan at all; the Heavenly Fox Illusion Technique was impossible to guard against.

However, he wanted to hear firsthand news from the Taiyuan Realm, but he wasn't sure if the female cultivator was the same Sui Chu, so he had to ask Tu Shan via telepathy.

Shen Suiren clasped his hands in acknowledgment: "King Jiao, thank you for your leniency this time."

After Ao Qi made the decision, he had many questions he wanted to ask, but he didn't know which one to ask first.

"Young friend, don't let the wind blow you outside. Come in and talk to me quickly." Wo Xiang had been waiting impatiently inside, but he and Si Yu were disguised as demon cultivators and could not show themselves outside.

Upon seeing Shen Suiren enter, he swiftly activated all the restrictions in the room and immediately sent out his newly crafted high-level defensive array plate.

Although he couldn't see any flaws in Shen Suiren's disguise, he was certain of her aura and voice: "Meeting an old friend in a foreign land, meeting an old friend in a foreign land."

"Perfect timing, let's go back together this time."

Si Yu also gave her a Nascent Soul Sword Talisman and personally brewed her spiritual tea: "At the beginning of the year, how is my Lianqiao?"

Shen Suiren hesitated before taking the tea and putting it down, then handed over a jade slip: "Star Lord, please don't get excited after you finish reading this."

Wo Xiang thought to himself that something serious had definitely happened, so he quickly sent a telepathic message to the little fox king next to him, and then he also received a jade slip.

However, the jade slips they handed to Huo Qilin and Ao Qi only contained more information about the demon race and various aspects of the human race. Like the other two slips, they only emphasized Chu Mo, Lian Qiao, and others.

The jade slip contained not a single word about the return of the land to the Taiyuan Realm, the earth veins, or the secrets of Wu Xuanzi and the Array Sect.

After reading it, Wo Xiang looked incredulous. "Chu Mo is actually a spy. Has the alliance cleaned up all his subordinates?"

I was referring to his protégés and confidants within the alliance.

"Imprison those who are imprisoned, kill those who are killed." Including Su Yu Zhenren, whom they valued earlier, who is still imprisoned in the Alliance dungeon.

Even the most innocent Shen Manqi could not escape this fate. If it weren't for the Venerable Wu personally sending her into reincarnation, she would probably have been under strict surveillance by the Taiyi Sect, for fear that there might still be problems with her soul.

"Chu Mo! I'm going back to kill him!" Si Yu crushed the jade slip, his eyes bloodshot. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed.

As he was being supported by Wo Xiang, his once black hair turned white in the blink of an eye.

Shen Suiren and the Little Fox King were startled; a Nascent Soul cultivator suffering a mental injury was no small matter.

"Dragon King, could you please take a look?" This person was genuinely anxious to return to the Taiyuan Realm, as he would be one of their future combat forces.

As soon as she made her request, the Purple Dragon King flew out of Ao Qi's sea of ​​consciousness.

This startled the fire qilin. "Dragon King? What are you doing here...?"

He suddenly realized that Ao Qi hadn't said much since opening the door.

The Dragon King said, "You must have been placed under a soul restriction, and you broke through part of it after you became a deity."

"Do you dare allow me to examine your soul?"

"It would be best to investigate and break all the restrictions." Si Yugang, having just reached the Nascent Soul stage, did not trust the medical practitioners of the Sword Sect, which was why she was unwilling to see patients.

While the Dragon King was focused on examining the scene, Ao Qi quietly retreated.

Shen Suiren was always aware of everyone in the room. She transmitted her voice, "Jiao King, are you sure you can leave?"

Ao Qi froze, then looked at the Dragon King who had already withdrawn his hand and said, "The Great Ascension Stage restriction looks like it belongs to the Sparrow Clan, but its power is slightly weaker, which is why you were able to break through it a little after you reached the Nascent Soul stage."

Shen Suiren immediately thought, "Could it be that the Sparrow Queen did something? When I saw that wisp of her soul, it felt less than one-thousandth of her true self."

"It's possible that even a true Mahayana cultivator, even one level lower than the Integration stage, wouldn't personally go to the Taiyuan Realm, which suppresses their cultivation level."

To break this seal, your soul will be injured, and it may take a thousand years to recover.

"Would you be willing to help?" The Dragon King asked the Rain Master for his opinion.

"Please, Dragon King, make your move." Si Yu wanted to know how her child was doing, even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance.

The Dragon King waved his hand, and everyone else went to another room to wait.

The Little Fox King and two ninth-rank demons were discussing various matters concerning the demon race.

Shen Suiren inquired about Elder Wo Xiang's recent situation and learned that the Taiyuan Sect had gathered some sects and demon races, sending out a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators and three hundred Core Formation cultivators to infiltrate the Northern Profound Secret Realm among the Core Formation cultivators.

She said, "They're here to take over our entire territory."

If they're really planning to go to war, aren't they afraid of overfeeding them?

Unfortunately, I don't have the Transmission Incense, so I can't report accurate information now.

However, the Xuanjian Sect had already secretly begun preparations, and Chongming and the others were all present.

Elder Wo Xiang sensed the confidence in Sui Chu's words. He knew he would no longer be fully trusted, so he didn't ask any more questions and tried to provide as much information as he knew.

Finally, he said, "The Spirit Realm and the Great Wilderness, led by the Taiyuan Sect and the Demon Court, have nurtured too many Nascent Soul cultivators, and their resources are gradually being depleted. Naturally, they are unwilling to relinquish control of the secret realms."

In fact, the other four realms were also very dissatisfied with the Taiyuan Sect, and recruited outstanding cultivators from the four realms to other realms.

Every time they open their secret realm, the Taiyuan Sect disciples have the most slots and take away the most things.

Unfortunately, these two realms had the most Mahayana disciples, and the other realms couldn't unite, causing the available spots to be devoured year after year. Furthermore, several sects supported by the Taiyuan Sect gradually grew stronger.

"Does the Taiyuan Sect intend to unify the Seven Realms, or has it mastered something extraordinary that has caused the Mahayana cultivators of the other realms to remain silent?" Shen Suiren found it amusing that this was the cultivation world, yet it had been dominated by one sect to such an extent.

Even a pig wouldn't believe it without the tacit approval of various Mahayana practitioners.

"I heard from my senior brother Yuanbei that the stages of Refining Emptiness, Integration, and Mahayana in the Six Realms are no longer like those in ancient times, where one had to undergo a minor tribulation every few hundred years."

In my humble opinion, this might be the very lifeline held by the Taiyuan Realm.

The so-called minor tribulation is because after cultivators seize the creation of heaven and earth and reach the Void Refinement stage, they must undergo another tribulation of lightning every five hundred years, the number of which varies.

A cultivator at the Integration Realm has an 8,000-year lifespan, which is a minor tribulation every 800 years; a cultivator at the Mahayana Realm has an 10,000-year lifespan, which is a tribulation every 1,000 years.

Considering that Heaven and Earth treat all things as straw dogs, you cultivators defy Heaven and steal lifespan and so much fortune; you should at least give something back.

Therefore, many ancient cultivators did not perish in the tribulation of the Great Advancement stage, but perished under the Lesser Heavenly Tribulation.

"My young friend's words have awakened me from my dream."

"I'm also wondering why the jade slips from the Spirit Realm never mention the legendary Lesser Heavenly Tribulation." Elder Wo Xiang suddenly stood up, paced back and forth, and then slammed his hand on the table.

"Our Taiyuan Realm's tribulation during advancement was too severe. Besides the heavenly punishment, could it also be related to this?"

That's why they've been suppressing the Taiyuan Realm, preventing the world from returning to its perfect state.

"I don't know." Shen Suiren answered truthfully; all she could do was infiltrate the Northern Profound Realm. "Elder Wo, what's the situation with the Northern Profound Realm? Will it be able to open smoothly?"

After a moment's thought, Wo Xiang said, "Fellow Daoist Huo has heard of this matter. He said that after receiving an urgent message from the Taiyuan Sect, the Sparrow Emperor ordered the temporary closure of the palace."

In fact, the entrance to that secret realm had already opened at midnight, and a group of demon cultivators had entered first.

They called a stop just as it was almost our turn, and I thought my disguise had been exposed. "There were Mahayana cultivators scanning back and forth at the time, and it was indeed very dangerous to leak your aura," the Fire Qilin said as it walked over.

"Young friend from the beginning of the year, where did you come from to the Great Wilderness Realm?"

"Entering a new secret realm triggers a spatial rift." Shen Suiren's words were concise yet profound.

"Elder Huo, could you possibly get us some spots that others have given up?"

"In principle, anyone who has reached the Core Formation stage or above can advance to the Secret Realm, while for the demon race, it is the eighth rank or above."

"Your cultivation is almost at the Core Formation stage, but it doesn't meet the requirements." The Fire Qilin was in a dilemma; if it used the spatial hut to take them, it would be exposed on the spot.

Principles, you say?
Shen Suiren understood. "What conditions are required?"

"Pills, the demon race likes human pills the most, but they must be high-grade and top-quality pills."

"How about this?" Shen Suiren took out two bottles of pills and opened them.

"A top-grade spirit beast pill from the Myriad Beasts Sect?! And a fire-attribute one at that." Even before, the Fire Qilin had a hard time getting two bottles from the Myriad Beasts Sect.

He could hardly find spirit beast pills of the same grade in the shops of cultivators in the Great Wilderness.

The Little Fox King jumped over and held him down: "This was specially made for us by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect."

She and the Little Dragon King didn't take it for free; they exchanged it for high-grade spiritual herbs.

"Elder Huo, how many spots can you get for one bottle?"

The fire unicorn couldn't help but rub her head, "Tushan, the spirit beast pills are good, but the quota is even better."

Three bottles of pills are barely enough to exchange for one, how many spots do you want?
Let me make this clear first, there's no guarantee I'll get in this year.

"I know, fifteen." Shen Suiren touched his storage ring and quickly released forty or fifty pill bottles.

All of these were the Yuan-Boosting Pills, Crimson Dust Pills, Yuan-Replenishing Pills, Soul-Stabilizing Pills, Major and Minor Rejuvenation Pills, and Creation Pills that her master prepared for her after she reached the Core Formation stage.

"I don't have any Nascent Soul stage pills."

"That's enough, that's enough. You don't know this, but cultivators in the Great Wilderness are always bullied by demons, so the pills they refine are often adulterated."

Elixirs in the spirit realm are expensive, and ordinary demons often cannot buy good ones even with spirit stones.

These can be exchanged for Divine Cleansing Pills used in the Spirit Realm for eighth and ninth rank cultivators.

"Eighth-tier Soul-Stabilizing Pills and Greater and Lesser Rejuvenating Pills can also be used." The Fire Qilin swished as it stored into its own space.

"I'll hurry and exchange my spot while some demons are giving up."

"Fellow Daoist Huo, please wait a moment. We'll buy some Spirit Realm Pill Bottles to replace them," Wo Xiang said cautiously.

"Don't worry, I'll make the switch." The Fire Qilin wanted to get more slots so that it could take other demons who were willing to go back with it.

Ao Qi wanted to go with them, but the Fire Qilin dared not let him. Alas, since leaving the Taiyuan Realm, he, the dignified Grand Elder of the Demon Court, had been reduced to a errand boy.

He left and did not return for a long time. The Rain God had already taken the elixir and gone to sleep, but there was still no sign of him, and no one answered his messages.

"Dragon King, shall I go and search for it? Some demons are greedy and might try to steal the elixir." Ao Qi was always afraid that the Dragon King would take his body.

The Dragon King forbade it.

Shen Suiren kept sending messages to her teammates at another inn in order to distract herself from her anxious emotions.

She always had a feeling that the Northern Mystic Realm was destined to open.

This intuition was spot on. The next morning, the Fire Qilin hurriedly returned, laying out a row of secret realm nameplates. "I overheard some news by chance."

The Sparrow King has been invited to the Spirit Realm's Demonic Gate to repair a secret realm. Also, the Spirit Realm is conducting a large-scale manhunt for over a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators.

He strongly suspected that Shen Suiren's team had done something: "I think your team must live separately and stop going out and coming in together. It would be best if you could concentrate your cultivation to the Qi Refining stage."

As soon as the secret realm opened, he transformed his cultivation level to the Core Formation stage and quickly joined the demon race's queue to enter.

He paused, then asked, "Can you draw illusionary talismans?"

"They can draw, but the person guarding the entrance should be either a Void Refining cultivator or a Body Integration cultivator, right?"
"My illusionary talisman can't fool them." Shen Suiren was self-aware.

The Little Fox King also shook his head, "Below the ninth rank, my illusions are hard to fool even a twelfth-rank Nascent Soul stage demon."

"I can inscribe an illusion array using a small array plate, but I need to buy Nightmare Stones."

"The Northern Profound Market is too rudimentary. Without this stone, we will have to trouble Fellow Daoist Huo to make a trip to the sect market of the human race." "Wo Xiang is a Grand Array Master, and his knowledge of talismans and arrays is interconnected. He can guarantee the array plate's effectiveness, but he cannot guarantee the efficacy of the illusionary talisman he drew with ordinary talisman paper."

Moreover, he used the Illusion Array Plate to impersonate a demon cultivator, and so far, no one has seen through his disguise.

"There's no need to run anymore, this will do." The Dragon King had many treasures in his hands, and with a whoosh, he flicked more than a dozen colorful leaves at them.

The little fox king sniffed: "A leaf from the Ten Thousand Year Dream Vine Tree?"

"Hmm." The Dragon King will send them through the Northern Mystic Realm, and there will be something to help them pass the test.

Shen Suiren immediately imprinted his divine consciousness to recognize him as his master. With a thought, he displayed the appearance of someone in the early stage of Core Formation, and his smug and self-satisfied demeanor was remarkably similar.

She quickly gave the cardamom leaves and name tags to her teammates who were staying at three different inns.

The fire qilin escorted them back, and they couldn't help but sigh with Ao Qi, "They say that after we transform into human form, we can be just as intelligent as humans."

But look at Xiu, he's only in his twenties, he doesn't need anyone to guide him, he's already more thorough than us."

“They exposed themselves in front of me.” Ao Qi disagreed and urged him to find out again when they would enter the secret realm.

Unexpectedly, the Dragon King who was temporarily residing in his sea of ​​consciousness said, "You don't need to go back. Come with me to do some things, and I'll guarantee that you'll skip the tenth level and go straight to the eleventh level of the Void Refinement stage."

“Purple Dragon King, I wish to go back and see the Dragon Clan.” Ao Qi clearly did not believe him.

The Dragon King scoffed, "Have you ever truly cared about the dragon race? Of the dozen or so dragons you brought with you, how many are still alive?"

Ao Qi's heart skipped a beat when the Dragon King's primordial spirit swept over him. He knew he had to obey orders, or he would become cannon fodder for those in power, just like his subordinates.

On the contrary, Shen Suiren, who left with the name tag, was very calm.

Because she and her teammates disguised themselves as Core Formation stage cultivators, they split into several groups and arrived at the entrance to the heavily guarded secret realm one after another.

Here, many financially strapped Core Formation cultivators, unwilling to spend more spirit stones to stay in the market a hundred miles away, have been meditating in the open air a hundred feet outside the entrance.

Having tasted the bitterness of ascetic life, I have no desire to experience it again, nor will I flaunt my wealth in front of others.

So he teamed up with Niao Niao, Shen Tinglu, Juexing, and Cheng Zhishun, set up a simple tent, and meditated.

Once the other teammates arrived one after another and they could see each other in their spiritual senses, she was able to truly immerse herself in cultivation under the protection of the Little Fox King.

Several days later, the Little Fox King suddenly woke her up with a telepathic message: "The Sparrow King has arrived."

"Get ready, the secret realm is about to open." Shen Suiren deliberately ignored the higher-ups and instead focused his divine sense into the communication jade to quickly send a message to his teammates.

Sure enough, within moments, groups of demons and humans arrived.

At the same time, Elder Woxiang's message also arrived.

From afar, the entrance to the secret realm appears to have reopened, but next to it stands a mirror used to verify the authenticity of people.

The Little Fox King exclaimed in surprise, "Oh no, the Sparrow King has seen us before!"
