Chapter 802 Rumors Spread
Cao Yi, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement:

"It is both a crisis and a test. Staying in the sect to cultivate is not conducive to breakthrough. I became an eighth-grade array master by upgrading the 'Heavenly Dipper Demon Extermination Array'. If I want to go further, I need to go out and gain more experience."

Seeing that the two had made up their minds, Haohui nodded and said:
"Since you have already made your decision, I will not stop you. However, this time you will receive a mission from the sect to go to the Ghost Realm to provide support. Keep in touch with the sect at all times. If things become impossible, ask the patriarch for help."

"Yes."

After agreeing, the two turned and left the main hall of Haoran Peak to prepare.

At this time, news was flying everywhere in the Weiling Realm, with all sorts of rumors circulating, and some of them were quite outrageous.

"Have you heard? A mobile secret realm has appeared in the Ghost Realm. It sucks in any cultivators it likes, and then leaves without ever stopping."

"Really? What kind of mysterious secret realm is this, especially in the Ghost Realm? That should be a suitable secret realm for ghost cultivators. Are you planning to go and join the fun?"

"Can't we enter a secret realm suitable for ghost cultivators? I heard there are treasures inside that can increase soul power."

"You're lying. If it were true, the Ghost Realm wouldn't let outsiders get their hands on such a good thing. It would probably have been controlled by high-level ghost cultivators long ago."

"Hehe! You know what, the strange thing about this secret realm is that there is an array at its entrance, which is specifically designed to counter ghost cultivators. Without the permission of the realm spirit, high-level ghost cultivators simply cannot get close."

"If what you say is true, it is indeed worth exploring. What if the spirit of the realm allows me to go in!"

"Go together! Go together!"

Some cultivators believed the rumors and decided to go and join in the fun. Besides, the Ghost Realm also has many cultivation resources. If they couldn't enter the secret realm, it wouldn't be a loss to find some cultivation resources unique to the Ghost Realm.

Some people believe it, while others don't.

“Junior brother, don’t believe those rumors. My cousin is a disciple of the Immortal Transformation Sect. I’ve heard that the so-called secret realm is a trap set by evil cultivators to collect the soul power of ghost cultivators. There’s probably a conspiracy involved.”

"Is the news accurate?"

The male cultivator said with an air of absolute certainty:

"Of course it's accurate. Moreover, I heard that the Ghost Realm sent many high-level ghost cultivators to the other four realms to seek help. Even the Buddhist Realm, which has always been at odds with the Ghost Realm, was among those invited. I estimate that those powerful cultivators have already set off by now."

"Hearing you say that makes me even more eager to go and see it?"

"Tsk, you dare to join in this kind of fun? A powerful cultivator could wipe us out with a flick of their finger."

"Don't worry, people who have cultivated to their level rarely take action. Even if they did, the powerful True Venerables of the Ghost Domain wouldn't agree. I just want to pick up a bargain."

After saying that, he rubbed his hands together, as if he could already see the treasure flying towards him.

The male cultivator who had previously reminded his friend was speechless. He hadn't listened to a word the man said and was only thinking about finding a bargain. He shook his head and turned to talk to another companion.

These conversations reached the ears of two male cultivators in a corner of the shop. One of them said, "Senior Brother, why don't we go and take a look? Maybe we'll find something useful."

Sheng Yuhong frowned after hearing this and said:
"I always felt that what they said was unbelievable. If such a secret realm really existed, the Ghost Realm would definitely keep it hidden and would never announce it widely. It would be more believable if they said it was a trap. Even the powerful ghost cultivators in the Ghost Realm couldn't solve it. Our current cultivation level is a bit insufficient, so let's just forget about it."

The two male cultivators communicating through their spiritual senses were Sheng Yuhong and Zhou Lingchuan. They broke through to the Nascent Soul stage three years ago. After Sect Leader Yu Geng went into seclusion, the two of them went out of the sect together to train. They happened to arrive at Fengyu City, a large cultivation city that is relatively close to the Ghost Domain and is well-informed.

The two originally planned to rest here for two days, process the monsters and spiritual plants they had harvested in the Fengyu Mountains, replenish some commonly used items, and then continue their training in the Fengyu Mountains. Unexpectedly, they heard this news.

Since Wei Yunqing's death, it seems that Sheng Yuhong's luck has also been affected. Although his cultivation speed is faster than that of his peers, he is still somewhat behind the truly talented disciples. Especially with Ranxi in the Haoran Sect, his brilliance is destined to be overshadowed.

In particular, after Sheng Yuhong realized that the gap between himself and Yun Xi was an insurmountable chasm, which he could not overcome with his current strength, he put away his petty thoughts and worked hard to cultivate, hoping to prove his strength through a breakthrough in cultivation. After advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, he and his junior brother went on a training journey together.

Zhou Lingchuan, however, felt that his senior brother was being overly cautious. He rolled his eyes and said:

"We don't know if the news here is true or not. We'd better send it back to the sect and find out their opinion. If it's a trap, we shouldn't get involved. But if it's an opportunity, we can go and see. What do you think?"

Sheng Yuhong thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. It was a habit of Haoran Sect disciples to collect information when going out for training. Regardless of whether it was true or false, it could be sent back to the sect. However, it was necessary to indicate whether it had been verified. If the information was true, proof should be attached. If it was not verified, it should be marked as unverified.

As long as the information is deemed valuable, disciples can earn corresponding sect points when returning to the sect to complete the task. This serves as a means for the sect to gather information and is also a way to indirectly subsidize disciples, benefiting many Haoran Sect disciples. Therefore, this routine task has continued into the Weiling Realm.

Zhou Lingchuan immediately transmitted both rumors he heard back to the sect via communication jade slips. However, this time he marked the messages as unverified and also inquired about related information with his fellow disciples in the Disciple Hall.

The two were disciples personally taught by the sect leader, and their own strength was not bad. They also had some connections in the Haoran Sect. Two days later, they received a reply.

"Senior Brother, Venerable Ranxi and Grand Array Master Cao Yi have already gone to the Ghost Realm with the ghost cultivators from the Netherworld Palace."

Zhou Lingchuan hadn't expected Ranxi to go to the Ghost Realm as well. Sheng Yuhong, who was standing nearby, was struck by this and immediately asked:

"What are Yunxi and Cao Yi doing in the Ghost Realm? Is it also because of these rumors?"

Zhou Lingchuan accepted the communication jade slip and said:
"I heard they received a mission from their sect to go to the Ghost Realm for support. In that case, the Ghost Realm isn't peaceful right now. The so-called secret realm is probably just an excuse to lure cultivators there. We'd better not go."

Sheng Yuhong waved his hand and said:

“If Ranxi goes, we can go instead. If we encounter danger, I believe she won’t stand by and watch us die.”

He said this with great confidence.

If Yunxi heard this, she would definitely scoff. For a cultivator to entrust his own safety to someone else is a very dangerous idea. Besides, she doesn't owe Sheng Yuhong anything, and the two are not even on the same level now. Even if Sheng Yuhong went there, he might not be able to meet her.

Meanwhile, the Lei family was also discussing their trip to the Ghost Realm. Their purpose was clear: to verify whether Yunxi's strange fire was the same one that the fallen ancestor Lei Hongxuan had taken away.

Lei Jingxiang, however, was not optimistic about this trip. Even if it was verified that the strange fire belonged to Ancestor Lei Hongxuan, so what? Could they openly steal it? Putting aside whether they had the strength, Ranxi was backed by Haoran Zhenzun, and Haoran Zhenzun and the Lei family had a grudge against each other.
