Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 301 Third Order Appearance

The secret realm is fraught with danger and unpredictable perils; in just a few days, many people have already encountered danger.

Even death.

outside world.

As always, it was peaceful.

"Junior brother."

Pei Jingque suddenly spoke to Zhu Ju, who was meditating with his eyes closed:
"I'm bored, so I'll take a walk around the neighborhood and check out the surroundings in case anything happens."

"You stay here and guard this place for now."

“…Okay.” Zhu Ju opened his eyes and looked directly at the other person:

"Be careful, senior sister."

"Don't worry." Pei Jingque smiled gently.

"It'll be okay."

He glanced at the other people scattered around him, then his figure flickered and he silently disappeared into the thick fog.

She possesses the Mysterious Dao Body and the 'Four Phases Star Restriction' secret technique. In terms of concealment and hiding one's aura, even Zhu Ju cannot compare to her. There is indeed no need to worry too much about her safety.

but……

First it was the Seeking Immortals Sect, then Pei Jingque, and now, looking at the Zhao family, there are also people making moves.

Obviously.

Their trip was probably not just to collect spiritual herbs in the Void Rift Secret Realm; there must be some other reason.

Also!

While gaps may be dangerous, they also hold opportunities.

Since we've already encountered this hidden realm of rifts, there's no guarantee we won't encounter a second one.

If a second Void Rift Secret Realm is discovered and can be monopolized, wouldn't that be an instant fortune?
Zhu Ju's thoughts raced, but his expression remained unchanged as he continued to sit cross-legged on the rock, squinting and adjusting his breathing.

Regardless of others' motives or plans, my sole purpose in coming here is to reap the rewards within the secret realm.

'The others...'

'None of my business!'

…………

Time passes slowly.

It's dazzling.

More than twenty days have passed.

As the thirty-day deadline drew ever closer, several Foundation Establishment cultivators began to show signs of restlessness.

"I wonder what the harvest was like inside?"

"Last time, sixty people went in, but only twenty-seven came out. More than half of them died. I wonder how it will be this time?"

"Hopefully, it will be a good outcome!"

“Our Wu family is different from yours. We have brought even the direct descendants of the family for this trip. If we don’t get good returns, the next ten years or so will be extremely difficult.”

"..."

As he spoke, Zhu Ju suddenly frowned as if he had noticed something.

next moment.

"boom!"

A deafening sound rang out, and the earth trembled.

"what happened?"

Dong Yuelan leaped into the air, and with a flick of her hand, a long, snow-white spear appeared in her palm.

Others also took action.

"Do not move!"

Zhu Ju growled:

"It's a third-tier demonic beast!"

A third-tier monster?

There was a sudden silence in the field.

Dong Yuelan swayed, sheathed her armor and weapons, and landed silently.

The six-winged lark was the quickest to react, immediately lying motionless on the ground.

"boom!"

"Rumble..."

The earth shook.

A hill not far away swayed and, accompanied by a flash of light, shattered with a deafening roar.

Such power,

That's absolutely horrifying!

The group of Foundation Establishment cultivators concealed their auras and lay prostrate on the ground, their faces pale as they gazed into the depths of the thick fog.

The aura of a third-tier demonic beast surged like a tidal wave, its invisible pressure making it hard to breathe.

"It really is a third-tier demon beast."

Dong Yuelan's eyes were filled with fear:
"And both of them!"

Third-tier demonic beasts are comparable to Golden Core Grandmasters; their physical bodies can withstand magical treasures without injury.

Dao Foundation cultivators are completely powerless against them.

Let's not talk about being enemies.

They probably couldn't even withstand the aftershocks of the battle.

"Do not."

The head of the Wu family's ears twitched slightly, and he whispered:
"It's a Golden Core Grandmaster and two Tier 3 demonic beasts. One of the demonic beasts should be the Golden Core senior's spirit beast. They are besieging the other Tier 3 demonic beast."

"Oh!" Dong Yuelan raised an eyebrow:

"Fellow Daoist Wu's ability to hear and see is truly extraordinary; he can even perceive what's happening far away from here."

The head of the Wu family smiled bitterly upon hearing this.

At this point, having a clear perception isn't necessarily a good thing; it's better to be a little confused, which can be more reassuring.

"boom!"

The sound suddenly drew closer.

Everyone's faces turned deathly pale instantly.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. The battle gradually receded and soon disappeared completely.

"call……"

Dong Yuelan breathed a long sigh of relief:

"I wonder if we've been discovered?"

"Probably not. The environment here is unique; even a Golden Core Grandmaster's perception would be greatly limited, especially since they're engaged in a fierce battle." The Wu family patriarch shook his head slightly.
"At least I didn't find anything unusual."

"I hope so." Zhu Ju's expression was solemn.
"It's the last few days, so please don't let anything go wrong."

The next day.

Pei Jingque returned.

Upon hearing about what happened yesterday, his expression changed.

"Junior brother."

After a moment's hesitation, she spoke in a low voice:
Do you know why I've been leaving so often lately?

"Oh!"

Zhu Ju raised his eyebrows:

"Senior sister is willing to tell me now?"

"It's because you didn't ask." Pei Jingque smiled lightly, her beautiful eyes rolling at him with a hint of playfulness.
"I never intended to hide it from you."

There was a pause.

She whispered in her ear:

“About two hundred years ago, a senior member of the sect disappeared near the Abyss. I am investigating clues about him.”

"Senior?" Zhu Ju's eyes flickered slightly.
"A Golden Core senior?"

“Not bad.” Pei Jingque nodded slowly.

"Moreover, he was a Golden Core cultivator with the potential to become a Nascent Soul cultivator. If we could find his legacy..."

Zhu Ju's eyes lit up. "Any clues?"

"Yes," Pei Jingque sighed softly.

"But not much."

"The closer we get to the abyss, the more dangerous it becomes. Not only are there those imperceptible rifts, but there are also all sorts of powerful demonic beasts. That senior traveled here alone, and no one knows where he ended up, or even whether his remains were left behind. I'm just seeing if I have the luck."

Zhu Ju nodded slowly.

A few more days passed, during which everyone proceeded with extreme caution, and finally the secret realm reopened.

*
Xu Canglan, the leader of the Seeking Immortals Sect, returned two days ago. It is unknown what they encountered nearby. Although they did not show it on their faces, the group's aura was extremely weak, indicating that they had encountered an extremely dangerous situation.

However, since they didn't say anything, no one asked any further questions.

"The time has come."

After a quick calculation, Xu Canglan gestured to the crowd:

"The passage can be opened now."

"Yes!"

"Do it!"

"..."

After a month of waiting, regardless of the final outcome, it's time to draw a conclusion.

Pei Jingque and his four companions stepped forward.

"Om..."

As a burst of spiritual light emerged, the void expanded and stabilized once again under the illumination of the Five Elements Spirit Locking Plate.

"Shh!"

As soon as the passage was formed, a figure emerged from it.

"Zhao Qin?"

Zhao Yongze stepped forward, his face showing surprise:

"How was the harvest?"

"Uncle." The woman named Zhao Qin's face darkened as she presented the storage bag and said in a low voice:
"I found myself in a cave filled with monsters. I spent more than twenty days inside before coming out, but I didn't gain much."

"Ok?"

Zhao Yongze frowned, took the storage bag, and scanned it with his divine sense. His expression grew even more unpleasant.

His eyes flickered, and he spoke with a cold expression:
"Go back there and wait. From now on, your monthly salary will be paid according to the share of ordinary clansmen."

"……Yes."

Zhao Qin looked unwilling, but she could only agree and silently shrank to the side of the six-winged skylark.

The others watched coldly, and no one said anything.

Waited for another moment.

"Shh!"

"Swish!"

Two figures appeared in succession.

"Jiu'an!"

"Jinwen!"

People from the Seeking Immortals Sect and the Hundred Flowers Sect immediately stepped forward.

The woman named Jinwen angrily pointed at Jiu'an, a Qi cultivator from the Seeking Immortals Sect, and shouted:

"Uncle-Master, he wanted to kill me and steal my treasure. If it weren't for the protective talisman you gave me, I would be dead!"

"Junior Sister." 'Jiu'an' hid behind the Dao Foundation of the Seeking Immortals Sect and spoke in a low voice, her eyes flashing:
"It's a misunderstanding. I thought it was a monster."

"you……"

"enough!"

Dong Yuelan's voice deepened as she gave Jiu'an of the Seeking Immortals Sect a long look, then patted Jinwen on the shoulder:

"It's all over now, it's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."

No matter what happens inside the secret realm, it will come to an end once we come out; this is an agreement between the various factions.

Retaliation afterwards is a matter for later.

just now.

There's nothing she can do.

"Uncle Master."

Jinwen looked unwilling, stomped his foot angrily, and took out two storage bags from his body and handed them over.

"Senior Sister Xia met with misfortune. Before she died, she gave me her storage bag, which is what we gained."

“Xia’er…” Dong Yuelan’s beautiful eyes darkened slightly, she gently shook her head, swept her divine sense inward, and immediately a smile appeared on her face.

Another moment passed.

"Shh!"

This time, it was people from the Mingxu Sect who came out.

"metropolitan!"

"Green Bamboo."

Pei Jingque nodded to the person who came, took the storage bag that was presented, and then handed it to Zhu Ju.

"Junior brother, take a look and register it later."

Of the gains from this trip to the secret realm, half goes to Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the other half goes to the sect.

To prevent them from cheating, the two would keep an eye on each other.

Zhu Ju nodded and accepted it, scanning it with his divine sense. A faint smile immediately appeared on his face.

Good haul!

Although there are no thousand-year-old medicinal herbs, there are thirty or forty medicinal herbs that are several hundred years old, which are quite valuable.

Next.

Representatives from all sides returned one by one.

"Uncle!"

"The valley is like pine."

Looking at the haggard figure covered in wounds, Zhu Ju's eyes flickered slightly, and he handed over a pill:
"Take the healing medicine and go to the back to rest."

"Thank you, Senior Uncle."

Gu Rusong agreed and handed over the storage bag.

His haul was equally impressive; his storage bag contained a thousand-year-old spiritual plant, a high-grade spirit stone, and various spiritual herbs and fruits.

Even if half of it is given to the sect, the remaining harvest would be enough to offset Zhu Ju's hard work for more than ten years.

Two years of preparation

The fruits of more than a decade.

It's a huge profit!

The key point is that the preparation time did not delay the practice much.

Time passes little by little.

More and more people came out, and the most eye-catching of them all were the three Qi cultivators from the Wu family who came out at once.

Although it was unclear how much the Wu family had gained, it seemed to be quite good, and the head of the Wu family showed a satisfied expression.

Gradually.

"Why haven't you come out yet?"

"The passage will close in one more hour."

"Is nothing going to happen?"

"..."

The expressions of the Foundation Establishment cultivators shifted between light and dark, while the many Qi Refining cultivators whispered among themselves.

Zhu Ju frowned.

Xi Chen...

It hasn't come out yet.

Luck can be unpredictable sometimes.
