Chapter 426 Deep-seated Hatred (Seeking Subscriptions)

This time, in order to dispel the doubts of the other six sects, the Xuantian Sect specially dispatched four True Persons to oversee the situation.

The leader, True Man Xuanwen, was only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

During the Xuan Tian Sect's secret realm training, the soul tablets of all fifty disciples were displayed in the open.

The other six sects also displayed the soul tablets of their disciples for training.

In this way, the deaths of those disciples undergoing training became clearly visible.

The original intention of the Xuantian Sect was to tell the other six sects that they were upright and honest.

The disciples of the Xuantian Sect are consistent in word and deed, and treat the disciples of the other six sects kindly.

However, only three days later...

One of the disciples from Medicine God Valley who was undergoing training perished.

Fortunately, those participating in the secret realm training were combat-type disciples from Medicine God Valley.

True geniuses in alchemy would not be sent to participate in such life-threatening trials in secret realms.

The Mysterious Immortal and the Mysterious Response Immortal of Medicine God Valley had solemn expressions.

The newly emerged second-tier secret realm theoretically has a mortality rate of about 20%.

Only three days later, one person has already perished.

This exceeded their expectations.

The fifth day since the opening of the Gan River Secret Realm.

One of the disciples of the Thousand Machines Sect had his soul tablet shattered.

The two True Persons from the Thousand Machines Sect also had solemn expressions.

They are similar to Medicine God Valley.

Their main business is weapon forging.

Those who participated in the Gan River Secret Realm training were the most skilled fighters in their respective sects.

Seventh day.

One disciple each from the Beast Emperor Pavilion, the Thousand Machine Sect, and the Medicine God Valley perished.

Master Xuan Ying couldn't help but say to Master Xuan Wen, "Brother Xuan Wen, it seems that the disciples who are undergoing training in this Gan River Secret Realm are dying at a rather fast pace."

The other six sects all looked towards the Mysterious Questioning Immortal.

"Don't worry, everyone. Senior Brother Zhang has personally tested it. This Gan River Secret Realm is undoubtedly a second-tier secret realm. The chances of third-tier demonic beasts surviving inside are extremely small."

Master Xuanwen offered words of comfort.

However, at this moment.

One of the soul tablets placed in front of the Xuantian Sect suddenly shattered.

Master Xuanku cried out in shock, "How could he have perished!"

Clearly, the disciple who fell was quite powerful within the Xuantian Sect.

This can be seen from the placement of the soul tablets.

A hint of doubt appeared on Master Xuanwen's face.

The so-called 20% mortality rate was mostly borne by the other six sects.

The death rate in the Xuantian Sect's secret realm trials rarely exceeds 10%.

On the seventh day alone, seven disciples who had been training in the secret realm perished.

This failure rate far exceeded the expectations of all the real people.

"Three months of training in the secret realm, I really don't know how many people will come out alive!"

Shen Xuan sighed inwardly.

It is speculated that something went wrong in the secret realm of the Gan River.

What he was most worried about was this unknown situation.

However, the opening time of this kind of secret space is fixed.

If the seven True Immortals join forces, they can force it open.

Thus, this expedition to the secret realm ended in failure.

It will be another hundred years before it opens again.

The experience was just a pretense.

What the seven sects of the Song Kingdom truly cared about was obtaining the Golden Elixir Elixir and various other spiritual items for forming the Golden Core from the secret realm.

Nowadays, the number of Core Formation seeds in various sects is increasing.

The production of elixirs and the formation of spiritual objects are both extremely competitive, with far more monks than porridge available.

The seven clans of the Song Kingdom were able to cultivate some spiritual herbs and nascent spiritual objects on their own.

However, the number of those cultivated by the sect is limited, and their quality is far inferior to those wild ones found in the secret realm.

Ultimately, it boils down to the contradiction between limited resources and the ever-expanding number of cultivators.

Either reduce the number of cultivators or increase high-grade cultivation resources.

There is no other way.

At this moment, all sixteen True Persons from the Seven Sects wore solemn expressions.

No disciples from the Golden Sun Sect, Divine Sword Sect, or Azure Cloud Sect have yet perished.

The real people also wore somber expressions and heavy hearts.

Even the core disciples of the Xuantian Sect have perished; there must be unknown dangers lurking within the Gan River Secret Realm.

really.

On the eighth day, one disciple each from the Divine Sword Sect and the Azure Cloud Sect perished.

All the real people present had solemn expressions.

The dangers of the Gan River's hidden realm exceeded their expectations.

The secret realm will be open for three months.

At this speed.

I estimate that not many people will make it out alive.

From then on, almost every day, disciples who had been training in the secret realm perished.

Day 15.

The true disciples of the Six Sects could no longer sit still.

They surrounded Master Xuanwen and pressed him for answers.

"Brother Xuandao, please ask Brother Xuanxiao again, is the Gan River Secret Realm functioning normally?"

True Man Xuanxiao is the current sect leader of Xuantian Sect, and is in the late stage of the Golden Core realm!
Under pressure from the Six True Immortals, True Immortal Xuanwen had no choice but to contact the Sect Master.

soon.

The True Man Xuanwen received a reply.

"Senior Brother Zhang said that the Gan River Secret Realm must be a second-tier secret realm without a doubt!"

"How could this be?"

All the immortals were filled with doubt.

One of the masters asked, "Could it be that some demonic cultivators have infiltrated?"

"impossible!"

Master Xuanwen said decisively.

There were sixteen True Immortals present, and he was at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

There is absolutely no way a demonic cultivator could disguise himself, deceive his eyes and ears, blend into the disciples of the Seven Sects, and enter the Gan River Secret Realm.

The second-tier secret realm is suppressed by the laws of Heaven.

Those above the level of a fake Dan cultivator cannot enter.

"All 180 disciples are potential Core Formation cultivators for the sect. The problem lies within the Gan River Secret Realm."

At this moment, a spirit tablet in front of Jin Yangzong shattered.

"Zhu Tianjian! How is this possible!"

Master Jin Jian exclaimed in disbelief.

Beside him, Master Lieyang's face was gloomy and extremely ugly.

Clearly, this disciple undergoing training holds an extraordinary position within the Golden Sun Sect.

The real people present were all terrified.

These are all elite disciples of the new generation in their sect.

The next generation of true cultivators will emerge from among them. In just fifteen days, twenty-four disciples have already been lost in the training.

At this rate, in three months, only a small number of the 180 disciples will survive.

"No! Brother Xuanwen, we, the Medicine God Valley, must withdraw from our training in the Gan River Secret Realm!"

Master Xuanmiao gritted his teeth and said.

The two True Persons of the Thousand Machines Sect echoed this sentiment.

The True Immortals of the Divine Sword Sect and the Beast Emperor Pavilion hesitated.

They all contacted their sects to report the situation in the Gan River Secret Realm.

Master Xuanwen sighed and said, "My senior brother Zhang Zong has determined that the Gan River Secret Realm will not reopen for at least three months."

"If we force it open, the Gan River Secret Realm will not open again for another hundred years."

It's a real shame that they had to leave the secret realm after only half a month.

"The chances of dying in the Gan River Secret Realm are far too high. Our Beast King Pavilion is also withdrawing."

Of the twenty disciples of the Beast Emperor Pavilion who were training in the secret realm, four have already perished.

To the Beast King Pavilion Master, this was simply unbelievable.

It should be noted that all disciples of the Beast Emperor Pavilion possess a natal spirit beast.

It has several advantages in the secret realm training.

Even if they can't win a fight, they're still good at escaping.

At worst, one can sacrifice a spirit beast to save their life.

Unexpectedly, within half a month, three members of the Beast Emperor Pavilion also perished.

If this continues, it's estimated that very few disciples who have completed their training in the Beast Emperor Pavilion's secret realm will be able to emerge.

Shen Xuan stood behind Han Yu Zhenren, as if he were invisible, not daring to utter a sound.

At that moment, Li Ruyi's voice transmission came through my ear.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, Ruyi has remembered!"

"What are you thinking about?"

"The sect I belonged to in my previous life was called Danxia Sect. The sect's True Lord was skilled in divination and calculation. He once said that the Water Moon Secret Realm, to which the sect belonged, would open a passage in the Song Kingdom in the future."

"That location is Ganshui County, which is under the jurisdiction of Xuantian Sect of Song State."

Shen Xuan was stunned.

If this is the case, then the greatly increased mortality rate of the disciples undergoing training can be explained.

He is not a demonic cultivator.

It's not a monster either.

Instead, they were human cultivators from the Yan Kingdom.

They also trained in the secret realm.

If the disciples of the Seven Sects don't possess any particularly rare and precious natural treasures, they can still show some deference.

The states of Yan and Song were sworn enemies for a thousand years.

The cultivators from both countries, upon meeting, would immediately attack each other without exchanging a word.

To strike first is to be strong, but to strike later is to suffer disaster.

"Fellow Daoist Li, this matter is of great importance. Are you certain?"

Li Ruyi remained silent for a while.

After a long pause, she said softly, "Confirmed."

At this time, three members of the Qingyun Sect also perished.

Both Lingxiao Zhenren and Hanyu Zhenren had ashen faces.

Shen Xuan no longer hesitated and quickly reported to Master Hanyu.

"Master, there's something I've just learned..."

Shen Xuan briefly recounted Li Ruyi's speculation.

"The Water Moon Secret Realm of the Danxia Sect in the Yan Kingdom?"

Master Hanyu frowned deeply.

"This is of utmost importance, bring Li Ruyi out!"

"Yes!"

Shen Xuan gently patted the Soul-Nourishing Wood at his waist.

A cloud of black mist rolled in.

Li Ruyi revealed herself.

All the immortals present looked towards Immortal Hanyu.

It's unclear why she summoned a Soul Foundation cultivator at this moment.

"Fellow Daoists, this Fellow Daoist Li was formerly a True Man of the Yan Kingdom."

Master Hanyu first introduced Li Ruyi's background.

It specifically points out the identity of the real person who was its predecessor.

"Fellow Daoist Li, repeat what you just said to my disciple."

Li Ruyi gave a brief explanation.

His words conveyed a strong sense of apology.

"After I became a cultivator in the underworld, I lost many memories. I only just remembered this matter."

After listening to Li Ruyi's words.

The six True Immortals could no longer sit still.

Master Lieyang was recommended to negotiate with Master Xuanwen.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Dao, entrusted by the Six Sects, I solemnly propose that the Seven Sects join forces to open the gate to the secret realm ahead of schedule and bring out the disciples for training!"

The Gan River Secret Realm is not a newly discovered secret realm.

Rather, it was an old, secret place that the Yan Kingdom originally possessed.

At this time, the disciples of the Yan state's royal families were undergoing training inside.

This is the main reason why the seven disciples of the Song Dynasty perished.

For a thousand years, the strength of the sects in the Yan Kingdom has consistently surpassed that of the sects in the Song Kingdom.

Two hundred years ago, the Yan state's clan launched a large-scale invasion of the Song state.

The seven sects of Song Kingdom paid a heavy price to persuade the five major demonic sects of Liang Kingdom to join forces in resisting them.

Originally, Master Xuanwen was slightly uneasy, but not too panicked.

Based on past experience, the disciples of the Xuantian Sect are stronger and have a greater ability to survive than the other six sects.

He trained a large number of disciples, a total of fifty, but the few who died were insignificant.

However, the weaker sects such as the Medicine God Sect, the Thousand Machine Sect, and the Azure Cloud Sect have lost more than 30% of their members, making them vulnerable to serious damage.

This also resulted in a situation where, among the seven powerful clans of the Song Dynasty, the strong became stronger and the weak became weaker.

“Alright then, Fellow Daoist Lieyang. We’ll limit it to thirty-six people. Once the number of those who perish reaches thirty-six, we’ll join forces and open the gate to the secret realm ahead of schedule.”

After pondering for a while, Master Xuanwen offered his suggestion.

After discussing it, True Man Lieyang and True Man Liuzong agreed to the plan.

A 20% failure rate was within expectations.

Only five days later.

Eight disciples who were undergoing training perished.

Master Xuanwen, together with the other six masters, once again used the Secret Realm Key to open the gate to the Secret Realm.

The ancient gate has just been opened.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

More than a hundred figures rushed out in a hurry.

These sect prodigies, all of whom were potential Core Formation cultivators, were almost all disheveled and their auras were disordered.

Nearly half of the people were injured to some extent.

The dozen or so people were carried out of the passage by their fellow disciples; they were pale and critically injured.

What exactly happened inside?

Master Xuanku asked in a deep voice.
