Shen Suiren suppressed his divine sense and glanced around. The Sparrow King was sitting in a white jade flying chariot, right above the mirror.

Many demons were bowing to her, and the humans who were close to her were also cupping their hands in greeting.

"What is she doing here, a demon emperor?"
"Should we guard against the Purple Dragon King?" The Little Fox King also withdrew his divine sense early on.

Shen Suiren sighed softly and said to Niao Niao and the others, "You all change back to your true forms and go first, I'll bring up the rear."

“That’s ridiculous, we’re in the same group.” Cheng Zhishun was the first to object.

Before the others could say anything, she interrupted them, saying, "You've all forgotten that Ah Luan and I confronted her directly."

The dantian can be concealed internally, but one's appearance and spirit will certainly not escape recognition.

Judging from that mirror, it must be a magical treasure. I'm afraid Elder Wo will also have to use his true appearance to join the ranks of cultivators.

She was right. Another message came from Wo Xiang, saying that he and Si Yu could no longer pretend to be demon cultivators and had to team up with a Core Formation cultivator to go in.

He added, "Someone just said that this mirror is called the Divine Treasure Mirror. In addition to revealing one's true appearance, it can also tell whether one has been possessed or had their soul transferred to another body. Fortunately, it cannot reveal one's cultivation level."

Be careful. If I don't contact you an hour after the secret realm is sealed, it means you haven't entered successfully.

At that time, if the Fire Qilin contacts you, you no longer need to travel with them.

"Thank you for your guidance, Elder. I wish you all the best." Shen Suiren shared this information with everyone.

The guards at the entrance shouted throughout the venue: "Those with green tags, go first; those with black tags, line up quickly."

"Quickly, try to get to the front of the black list, that's an order."

"And by the way, make a note of how many people are holding green name tags." Shen Suiren's eyes turned serious, and Niao Niao and Shen Tinglu immediately stopped trying to persuade him.

Jue Xingdao wished her to take care, but Cheng Zhishun insisted and sent her a telepathic message: "At least, the Dragon King will look after his junior, right?"

"Dream on, the Dragon King has his own business."

"That makes sense, you're not suited to leave now, you can stay." Shen Suiren thought to himself, this guy is a descendant of a half-demon and has even refined true dragon blood, I don't want him to be seen through by the Sparrow King as soon as he goes up.

After packing up the tent, Juexing noticed that Cheng Zhishun was not leaving either, so he glared at him fiercely. However, as time went by, he began to suspect the close relationship between Cheng Zhishun and the two dragon kings.

"I'll reserve an extra spot so that if the person leaves when it's our turn, I can cut in line."

After saying that, he didn't waste any more time and squeezed into the queue with his two teammates.

Other teammates also appeared at this time, like water dissolving into the ocean, scattered among the thousands of cultivators.

Nie Chengzhang, Qiu Lu, Luo Ning, and Wu Wan's group were all puzzled when they saw the two of them walking towards the back of the line.

To avoid being persuaded further, Shen Suiren replied directly that she had other plans.

But even after his teammates in different positions had all successfully entered the entrance, Mahjong King was still sitting there with his eyes closed.

But her divine sense was not idle; she would use secret techniques to mark anyone who quietly left the ranks.

Shen Suiren was naturally unaware of these things. Seeing several waves of people cutting in line and the number of people in line decreasing, she couldn't help but clench her fist.

"I'll ask the Dragon King to make some noise and lure her away," Cheng Zhishun said anxiously.

Shen Suiren stopped him: "No, they might have a dozen Mahayana practitioners hiding in the shadows."

"It's easy for the Dragon King to appear, but difficult to escape."

As soon as she finished speaking, a huge firework exploded in the sky, clearly revealing the character "demon" even in broad daylight.

Several figures flashed past in the direction of the fireworks, while the Sparrow King remained unmoved.

"Do we have no choice but to grit our teeth and try to get through this?" Cheng Zhishun looked around, hoping that if the Dragon King was trying to lure people in, he would increase the pressure even more.

A moment later, he suddenly saw the Sparrow King fly out of the jade carriage and fly away in the opposite direction of the fireworks.

Shen Suiren immediately grabbed him and strode toward the cultivators closest to the Divine Mirror.

He asked telepathically, "Can I join the queue?"

“Yes.” Shen Suiren quickly selected a Core Formation female cultivator carrying a sword. Noticing that her robes were badly worn, she went up to her and said, “Senior sister, it’s finally our turn.”

As she spoke, she swiftly extended her fist slightly and grasped the other person's hand, which they were willing to let her hold.

The female cultivator, with her sharp eyes, only allowed her to approach when she saw Geng Jin, and grabbed a small piece of it: "Junior sister, I'll hold the spot for you two, so it won't be for nothing."

“Of course.” Shen Suiren gestured with his other hand to indicate a number, and the female cultivator nodded in satisfaction.

When they are in front of others, the cultivators behind them have no right to object, because cutting in line is extremely common in the Great Wilderness Realm.

If you want to cut in line, and you have enough spirit stones and pills to find a human or demon to vouch for you, it's tacitly allowed.

Shen Suiren pushed Cheng Zhishun forward first, and the two quickly passed through smoothly. Just as they stepped onto the entrance to the secret realm, the Sparrow King's voice came from behind: "Stop her from entering the secret realm."

Shen Suiren assumed it referred to herself, and she and Cheng Zhishun used their spiritual power to leap into the secret realm, so fast that the female cultivator behind them couldn't catch up.

As soon as the female cultivator entered the secret realm, she ran towards the direction the two of them were rushing, shouting as she chased after them: "Give me the reward, or I'll fight you to the ends of the earth, to the death!"

"Keep your voice down, senior sister, over here." Shen Suiren only dared to show herself and wave to the female cultivator after seeing that no guards were chasing her and confirming that she had not been exposed.

"You set up the formation very quickly. I won't go. You come instead." The female cultivator was very wary. She didn't doubt Shen Suiren's cultivation level. After all, someone who could transmit their voice even when they were dozens of miles apart must be at least at the Core Formation stage.

Shen Suiren had no choice but to step forward and ask her to create a barrier before handing over Gengjin. "Senior sister, did you see what happened outside just now?"
I felt an immense pressure, which was frightening.

The female cultivator happily accepted several pieces of Gengjin the size of pebbles and transmitted her voice, saying, "It seems that the Sparrow King is intercepting a female cultivator, and two Mahayana cultivators have flown out from the guards. Of course, the pressure is heavy."

You're quite willing to spend money for a spot, but it's fortunate you got in quickly. The thousand or so people behind us were swept away by the Mahayana's fighting spirit wave, resulting in many deaths and injuries.

The secret realm may close prematurely, and then there may be no future access.

Shen Suiren watched her fly away, then stared at the entrance for a while. After seeing more than a hundred people enter, the flashing entrance was suddenly sealed off.

"You're quick to react." Seeing this, Cheng Zhishun felt a wave of fear; they almost ended up stranded in the Great Wilderness.

The two sent messages while trying to find their teammates. As for searching for spirit herbs and treasures, they should just lay low for now, since they were a bunch of fake cultivators.

It was more than half an hour later when everyone finally gathered together.

Elder Wo Xiang quickly found her and said, "At the beginning of the year, the spiritual energy here is abundant. How about we find a suitable place for you to cultivate?"

Si Yu also needs to nourish her spirit.

“Excellent.” Shen Suiren and the others had originally intended this, but there was one thing they needed to clarify: “Elder, was your divine sense suppressed after you came in?”

"Yes, it's suppressed to around 100 li of the Core Formation stage."

Even with cultivation suppressed, the spiritual power in the dantian of a Nascent Soul cultivator is still many times greater than that of a Core Formation cultivator.

"When it comes to a contest of magic, the advantage is naturally greater." Wo Xiang explained it even more clearly.

"The demon race didn't provide a map when we entered. After settling you in, I'll go find Fellow Daoist Huo and the others first, and also take a look around the secret realm."

Their team of more than ten people moved in an orderly manner and always maintained a fighting formation, which made any team they encountered not dare to underestimate them.

However, Elder Wo Xiang led the team with a guilty conscience. It was true that the Northern Profound Realm could suppress Nascent Soul cultivators to Core Formation level, but the disciples were only at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

In the event of a conflict, at least ten people would be needed to contend with a true early-stage Core Formation cultivator.

He genuinely didn't want to encounter the people who robbed them.

But what they feared most came to pass. A group of over twenty demon cultivators flew up and blocked their path. Without saying much, they simply extended their hands and said, "We only want pills, not spirit stones or magic weapons." "Fellow Daoist, we are with the Fire Qilin." Elder Wo Xiang did not want to engage in a direct battle. The demon cultivators who entered were all at least at the eighth or ninth level, and he and Si Yu were not capable of protecting their dozen or so disciples.

But the other party said they didn't know him and just wanted the pills.

At this moment, Shen Suiren flew from the side and back on his sword to a few feet in front of the demon cultivator, his whole person arrogant and domineering: "Hmph, ignorant, a dignified eighth-rank cultivator comes to steal pills."

"You think you can just kidnap the men who are escorting me?"

After a moment of surprise, the leading demon cultivator sneered and was about to teach the demon a lesson.

The moment Wo Xiang and Si Yu flew close, they saw the nine white fox tails behind Sui Chu spread out, and one of them slapped the demon cultivator's face.

Then, with a cold voice laced with supreme authority, he said, "You've got some nerve."

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty demon cultivators fell from the sky, lying prostrate on the ground, too afraid to move.

The teammates blinked, thinking to themselves that it must be the Little Fox King's doing.

Wo Xiang and Si Yu exchanged a glance, and instead of letting their disciples fly on their swords alone, they released the Broken Cloud Boat to signal them to hurry up.

After a long while, the demon cultivators, no longer suppressed by their bloodline, stood up. One of them suddenly asked, "Does our Great Wilderness have such a powerful nine-tailed celestial fox?"

While the demons were bewildered, Shen Suiren and his group had already flown thousands of miles away.

The little fox king collapsed in the spirit beast ring, exhausted. She lazily transmitted her voice: "Activating the secret technique is too uncomfortable. Quickly find a place to rest."

"Oh right, did you find the map your ancestor, the one from the dealer family, match?"

"Not yet, his map is incomplete."

The Beihai No. 1 that Master Wu drew for me is also different from what we see now. "With the passage of time, Shen Suiren could not possibly rely entirely on a drawing from hundreds of thousands of years ago."

She constantly scanned her surroundings with her divine sense, drawing the terrain with her hands, while her teammates sat in different parts of the flying boat, diligently compiling the map.

As she was drawing, Shen Tinglu came over and whispered to her, "Suichu, look at that snow mountain in front of you. Doesn't it look a lot like the Snow Lotus Mountain of the Boundary Demon Clan in the Xuanjian Glacier?"

"It does resemble it." Nie Chengzhang also noticed it and walked over. "Shall we choose a snow mountain with the two star lords?"

Shen Suiren smiled and said, "Look, the flying boat has changed direction. I suppose the two star lords have the same idea."

They never expected that as soon as they flew up the snow mountain, three ninth-tier great demons—the Fire Qilin, the Ice Dragon, and the Azure Phoenix—would be waiting for them.

Juexing curled his lips: "Only three of Elder Huo's demon kings returned. It seems that Jiao Wang Ao Qi also had a bad idea and didn't dare to go back."

If Ao Qi knew, he would surely cry foul, claiming that he had helped the people hired by the Dragon King to infiltrate the Demon Court and conduct a massive raid.

Currently being hunted down by the Demon Court's Integration Stage cultivators, he had no choice but to hide in the Dragon King's space, and was deeply regretting his actions in grabbing Cen Che's jade pendant.

The Dragon King also used the Transmission Incense to inform Wu Xuanzi that she had safely sent Sui Chu and the others, whom she had encountered by chance, into the Northern Mysterious Realm.

Moreover, the Vermilion Bird Cauldron will soon arrive in the Taiyuan Realm.

Wu Xuanzi replied: "Make your move only after you have contacted enough loyal dragons. Do not reveal your target too early."

"Those people and Little Peacock, although they can't figure out who I am, will definitely strengthen their defenses once the Vermilion Bird Cauldron is lost."

Fortunately, there were spirit stones and treasures to pave the way, and many high-level cultivators were able to become their helpers.

"Thank you for providing the ancient treasures from various realms. The day you secure the Northern Mystic Realm will be the day I make my move." The Dragon King was able to scatter money everywhere and find enough people to plunder the Great Wilderness Demon Court's treasure vault; Wu Xuanzi deserves great credit for this.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to discover the Sparrow King's appearance at the entrance to the secret realm and take action in advance to draw attention to Sui Chu and the others.

The Dragon King is unaware that her actions have thrown the secret realm's guards into disarray, allowing other Nascent Soul cultivators from various sects, such as the Sword Sect, who were hiding in the Core Formation queue, to take the opportunity to cross the border.

Therefore, just as Elder Wo Xiang, who had finished setting up the cave dwelling, handed the main control array plate to Shen Suiren, he received a message from two Nascent Soul cultivators of the Sword Sect.

"They actually managed to sneak in."

"Si Yu, I'll go see you alone for the safety of my disciples. I won't come looking for you again until we reach the Taiyuan Realm." Although he genuinely wanted to join the Sword Sect, he wouldn't be without precautions.

Seeing Si Yu nod solemnly, he added, "Also, at the beginning of the year, your cultivation levels are too low, so you should not search for treasures outside."

"I'll be in seclusion for six months, then I'll be home soon."

"Elder, rest assured, we will be cultivating here for some time." Shen Suiren sincerely thanked him for making the plans for everyone.

However, one should always be wary of others. She and her teammates pretended to be in seclusion, but in reality, they fled hundreds of miles away and opened a new transit cave for their retreat.

Moreover, many killing and trapping formations were also set up within Elder Wo Xiang's grand formation.

The three demons were dumbfounded. One of them said to Si Yu, "Fellow Daoist Wo, you must be extremely disheartened to see this."

No, he will be very happy.

"Ok?"

"An excellent disciple is required not only to have talent for cultivation, but also to have the skill to escape."

In the world of cultivation, those who are good at fighting often don't live as long as those who are good at running away.

Even so, Si Yu knew that after ten years in the Sword Sect, the disciples of the Taiyuan Realm did not fully trust them.

Even Yun Chuan doesn't get very close to him.

But he didn't see that Yun Chuan was speaking up for him, "At the beginning of the year, it's fine if we set up a separate residence, but setting up so many formations is for safety reasons."

But if you openly separate Master Siyu, how painful it must be for him.

If you have any disloyal intentions, he will not let you do as you please.

"Yun Chuan, is your life more important or your elders' feelings? If you're worried about him feeling bad, go with him!" Cheng Zhishun immediately retorted.

Yun Chuan was furious: "Since Sui Chu was chosen as the captain, he requires us to act in unison. I cannot disobey his orders."

"Then shut up!" Nie Chengzhang glanced at him.

Before Yun Chuan could speak again, Sui Chu spoke up: "The Northern Profound Secret Realm was originally the North Sea No. 1 of the Array Sect."

There is also a Northern Mystic Mansion here, which is dedicated to cultivation and can enable Core Formation cultivators to transform into Nascent Soul cultivators within a hundred years. Are you interested in finding it and forming your Core again?
Originally, Ancestor Wu planned to send us in from the Xuanjian Glacier to cultivate after we completed our mission.

The teammates were shocked: "..."

They both longed for and hesitated to believe that their elixir could be shattered and reformed within just three months.

Shen Suiren added, "We'll set off after a month of rest. We should register with Juexing now."

Find Luo Ning and return the battle formation token to him so he can go into seclusion.

Yun Chuan snapped out of his daze: "Sui Chu, are you serious? You can control a formation core from hundreds of thousands of years ago?"

"I was in control of the Beihai No. 4."

"If you don't dare, you don't have to sign up." Shen Suiren glanced at her teammates.

Nie Chengzhang was the first to sign up, and others followed suit. Yun Chuan was unlikely to fall behind.

A month later, when Shen Suiren and his teammates emerged from seclusion, they received bad news from Elder Wo Xiang: "Within the secret realm, battles are frequent, and many have perished."

"Should we still go to the secret palace?" Niao Niao asked, looking at the messenger.
