Chapter 253 Flying Sword of the Frosty Toad, Dragon Girl of the Secret Realm (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Array?!"

The Jade-Eyed Frost Toad was also knowledgeable and immediately recognized that this was a formation created by human cultivators.

Mo Yue stopped in mid-air, turned to face the Azure-Eyed Frost Toad, and grinned, "Little toad, you are doomed today. Become my food as I return to my peak!"

Mo Yue immediately unleashed his full power, reaching the late stage of the third rank, comparable to a cultivator at the seventh level of the Golden Core realm.

However, the last two minor realms are extremely difficult to recover from.

It would take Mo Yue at least twenty or thirty years to return to the peak of the third tier on his own.

"Late stage of the third tier, Flood Dragon, you tricked me!" The Azure-Eyed Frost Toad was immediately enraged.

at the same time.

Xu Chuan and Xu Deling also rushed in from the nearby woods and entered the great formation.

However, the two of them stayed only at the edge of the formation, not daring to get too close.

Previously, Mo Yue had transmitted a message to him, saying that this green-eyed toad was not simple; it seemed to be a mutation and had possibly obtained some kind of opportunity from a secret realm.

The vertical pupil attack is comparable to that of a mid-stage, peak-level third-tier monster.

Even if Mo Yue were to be hit by all of them by accident, he would still be severely injured.

Upon seeing humans, the Azure-Eyed Frost Toad's eyes practically blazed with fury as it roared, "You actually colluded with human cultivators! Do you have no dignity as a demon beast?"

"What collusion? Why are you saying such nasty things? Besides, I'm not a monster from the secret realm. It's better than you being kept here by someone."

"An alien monster? You, a powerful demon of the late third stage, actually recognize a Foundation Establishment cultivator as your master?!"

"What I do is none of your business, you little toad! You're dead today!"

Say it.

As Mo Yue opened his mouth, hundreds and thousands of ice spikes condensed.

The pyramid-shaped object, sharp as a sparrow's tongue and covered in frost, exuded a chilling aura. It rained down on the green-eyed toad like a torrential downpour, its sonic booms as dense as the buzzing of bees, causing the surrounding spiritual light to tremble slightly.

Upon seeing this, the six-pointed ice pattern on the belly of the green-eyed toad suddenly lit up, and the soft light overflowed like flowing water, actually condensing into a layer of milky white light curtain in the air above its head.

The light curtain was as thin as a cicada's wing, yet it seemed to possess the strength of ten thousand pounds.

The ice prisms struck the light barrier with a series of crisp clanging sounds. The prisms shattered upon contact with the barrier, dissipating into wisps of cold air. Not a single one could penetrate the light barrier.

Upon seeing this, Mo Yue swung its dragon body, its azure scales gleaming with a fierce light, and charged straight towards the Cold Toad.

When they were about ten feet away from the Azure-Eyed Toad, Mo Yue suddenly swung his dragon tail.

Its tail, like a steel whip, lashed out horizontally, its scales gleaming coldly, creating a whistling sound as it struck its side.

Caught off guard, the green-eyed toad hastily raised its three legs to block, but a muffled "thud" was heard as the dragon's tail struck the claws, and the toad was actually shaken back two steps, the soft light of the ice patterns on its belly dimming slightly.

"attack!"

Seeing this, Xu Chuan formed a sword finger and activated the Hundred Herbs Needle. The thirty-six needles condensed into a green cone, maximizing the power of this set of magical artifacts.

Then it stabbed fiercely at the light screen.

Xu Deling then took out three small mountain-shaped seals, threw them out, and made a series of hand seals.

In an instant, the three small seals swelled to three or four zhang in size amidst the wind. Each seal was engraved with patterns containing the meaning of the character "mountain," and their power was comparable to the emerald green cone that Xu Chuan had condensed.

Xu Chuan realized that the milky white light barrier was exceptionally effective against magical attacks, so he attacked together with Xu Deling to assist Mo Yue.

Such defensive measures, like magical artifacts, cannot be released several times in a short period of time.

The emerald green cone and three small hills, each three or four feet tall, attacked, causing the milky white light screen to vibrate violently.

Upon seeing this, the green-eyed toad opened its mouth and condensed dozens of sharp cones, which then flew towards Xu Chuan and Xu Deling.

The two stepped back and withdrew from the formation.

The sharp cone struck the cyan light screen, causing only slight ripples.

After all, this is a top-tier second-order formation. Even if the Azure-Eyed Frost Toad attacked with all its might, it would take more than ten attempts to break through it.

If it were his vertical pupils, perhaps one or two times would be enough.

Xu Chuan and Xu Deling re-entered the grand formation and once again activated their magical artifacts to attack the milky-white light barrier, but this time Xu Deling changed his position.

If they are together, they are more likely to be targeted by a concentrated attack.

Mo Yue also received a hint from Xu Chuan, so he engaged in hand-to-hand combat, constantly attacking with his dragon claws and tail, and only occasionally using magic.

The Jade-Eyed Frost Toad is skilled in magic, but water-based magic is less effective against Mo Yue. Xu Chuan and his companion are also slippery and will never give it a chance to deal a serious blow.

He was extremely angry.

A cup of tea.

The defensive light barrier formed by his innate ability finally shattered.

"You forced me to do this!" the Azure-Eyed Frost Toad roared, a fierce glint flashing in its crystal-blue eyes.

Although he is a third-tier demon beast, his body is only slightly tougher than that of a peak second-tier demon beast. If they were to engage in hand-to-hand combat, he would probably be at a disadvantage very quickly.

In a one-on-one situation, he has defensive talents, is skilled in water and ice magic, and has vertical pupils that allow him to unleash ultimate moves far exceeding his own abilities.

Even mid-stage third-tier demonic beasts dare not provoke him casually.

It seemed the cooldown period was over, and the Azure-Eyed Frost Toad's vertical pupils once again unleashed terrifying power.

"If we block it, the great formation might not be able to stop his vertical pupil divine power."

Xu Chuan immediately used the Heavenly Wood Shield, while Xu Deling merged the three mountains into one, forming a small black mountain over ten feet tall.

"Azure Cold Light!"

"go with!"

The black hill was the first to be met by the icy light of the Cold Toad, but it was knocked away after only a moment, and its surface was covered with ice at the point of impact.

Then there's Aoki Jun.

The Green Wood Shield's defensive capabilities were far inferior to Xu Deling's magic weapon; it was directly cracked by the impact, and if it wasn't repaired, it would probably be inferior even to a high-quality defensive magic weapon.

Finally, the Moyue resistance.

Having exhausted his previous energy, Mo Yue unleashed all his spiritual power, condensing it into a dragon tail that actually managed to shatter the Azure Cold Light!

"No, although the Azure Cold Light is strong, according to what Han Chan said before, it shouldn't be his trump card!"

Xu Chuan spread his divine sense and immediately noticed a cold glint appearing in his mouth. He immediately said, "Mo Yue, be careful, he has another trick up his sleeve!"

He then hurriedly maneuvered the Skywood Shield to fly away.

"late!"

A beam of cold light shot out from the mouth of the green-eyed toad!

It was a flying sword!
The extreme cold power carried by the flying sword caused the temperature in the array space to drop rapidly as soon as it appeared.

Even Xu Deling and Xu Chuan, who were at the edge of the formation, felt a chilling cold.

"Pong!"

Xu Chuan reacted quickly, allowing the Heavenly Wood Shield to block the attack.

However, the Heavenly Wood Shield was completely pierced and then broke into two pieces, falling to the ground.

Mo Yue dodged with lightning speed, but was still grazed by the dragon's horn, leaving a scratch about an inch deep.

"De Ling, that Azure-Eyed Frost Toad absolutely cannot fully refine this magic weapon. Let's work together to influence it using the Weapon Control Technique!" Xu Chuan transmitted his voice.

"Yes, Grandfather!" Xu Deling also realized the danger of the situation.

That flying sword must have been an ancient magic weapon, and a very powerful one at that, otherwise it wouldn't have almost severed Mo Yue's dragon horn by merely grazing it.

You should know that the horns on a dragon's body are even harder than its bones.

Mo Yue is a peak third-tier dragon, and its horns are enough to be chosen by Nascent Soul cultivators as materials for refining their natal magic treasures.

"Buzz~"

The moon-white flying sword was about to fly back into the mouth of the green-eyed toad, but suddenly it started to buzz, as if it had been affected.

Xu Deling could hardly affect the magical artifacts of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, but that was only if the other party had completely refined them.

This situation indicates that the Jade-Eyed Frost Toad has not been fully refined; it is only usable to a certain extent.

The Heavenly Wood Shield was shattered, and Xu Chuan himself was also affected, but he immediately used the "Weapon Control Technique" to influence the Moon White Flying Sword magic weapon.

At this point, Mo Yue was completely enraged.

It raised its head and roared angrily, its voice shaking the trees on the bank, causing frost-covered leaves to fall in a rustling sound.

Its body suddenly grew larger and larger, reaching over thirty feet in an instant. Its dark blue scales were like black iron, and each scale gleamed with a cold, eerie blue light.

Mo Yue unleashed the full power of his demon core, his aura suddenly surged, and the oppressive force of a peak third-tier dragon spread out like a tidal wave.

The azure light barrier of the Six Harmonies Sealing Formation was shaken slightly, as if it were about to collapse.

"you wanna die!"

Before he finished speaking, the demon core within Mo Yue's body surged with spiritual light, and a pale blue halo emanated from beneath his scales, all converging on his right claw.

The dragon claw instantly swelled to over ten feet in size, its tip sprouting numerous ice shards, and with a sharp sound as it tore through the air, it slammed down fiercely towards the green-eyed toad.

Upon seeing this ferocious sight, the green-eyed toad was immediately filled with fear.

However, he had just released the Azure Cold Light and could not use it for a short time. His trump card, the flying sword magic weapon, was also affected and could not be retrieved in time.

He could only activate the hexagonal ice pattern on his abdomen, which suddenly lit up, and the milky white defensive light screen condensed in front of him again.

Unfortunately, each time this defensive light barrier breaks, its defensive power weakens.

With a loud "bang," the dragon's claw struck the light barrier, shattering it into a sky full of icy mist.

Before the residual force had dissipated, the dragon's claw struck the toad's carapace directly.

There was a crisp "snap" sound.

The toad's blue and white frosty scales cracked, and blood mixed with the cold air spurted out. It let out a shrill cry and staggered as it crashed into the array's light barrier.

Mo Yue was not about to give up. His dragon tail swept out like a steel whip, whistling through the air, and slammed into the side of the cold toad.

The Frost Toad coughed up blood again, the ice patterns on its abdomen completely faded, its three emerald eyes were half-closed, and its body collapsed limply to the ground, its breath as weak as a candle flickering in the wind.

The moon-white flying sword, no longer under the control of the Azure-Eyed Frost Toad, flew to Xu Chuan's front.

Mo Yue showed no mercy, using its last claw to extract his demon core and end his life.

next moment.

The air of the Moyue faded, and it suddenly showed signs of aging.

"Leave this place first."

Worried that the Fire Bull that Mo Yue had mentioned would arrive, Xu Chuan immediately cleaned up the battlefield, put the corpse of the Green-Eyed Frost Toad into his storage ring, and eliminated the energy in the area before leaving.

Then, only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn was passed.

Then a huge bull, two or three zhang tall, emerged from the forest to the south.

Its body was as tall and imposing as a small mountain, its limbs as thick as water buckets, and its hooves were covered with thick skin like red iron, which would even send up tiny sparks when it stepped on the ground.

Its back is covered with dark red scales from neck to tail, the scales are about the size of a palm, and the edges have a molten gold sheen.

It has three sharp horns growing upright on its head, the middle one being the longest, about three feet long, sharp as a blade, with a reddish-gold luster, and spiral flame patterns wrapped around its body, as if it had been tempered by a fierce fire.

The short horns on both sides are slightly curved, and the tips of the horns also have a fiery glow.

His face was free of stray hairs, covered with a pale reddish membrane, and a pair of reddish-gold vertical pupils were set in his eye sockets. The pupils were long and thin, and when he looked around, he had a cold and fierce look like a dragon, mixed with the ferocity of a bull. Just one glance was enough to make people tremble.

Its neck was covered with a tangled reddish-brown mane, with flames flickering among the strands. When the wind blew, the mane fluttered and sparks flew up.

The Fire Bull's body was as strong as a drum, with bulging muscles on its shoulders and back. A long, thin, red tail swayed constantly as it walked, whipping its own rump.

"Why is there no movement?" A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the Fire Bull.

"Could it be that the dragon hasn't arrived yet?"

"How about we wait nearby for a while?"

He had fought the Azure-Eyed Frost Toad no less than six or seven times over the past hundred years, and knew that the opponent's trump cards were extremely terrifying. Even Mo Yue, who was at the late stage of the third rank, would be severely injured if he was careless.

Of course, late-stage Tier 3 monsters are also extremely difficult to deal with.

He thought there might be a profit to be made, so he informed Mo Yue, and then waited for the other side to fight before sneaking over and reaping the benefits.

But he never imagined that there would be an array that could isolate the fluctuations of battle.

Xu Chuan's caution ensured that his efforts were doomed to failure.

Xu Chuan, Mo Yue, and Xu Deling traveled over a hundred miles before finding a cave to rest.

"That dead ox was definitely up to no good. It didn't even tell us that the toad had such a trump card, and we almost fell into its trap!"

"Go back to your spirit beast pouch and rest first. After I've recovered, I'll help you reverse your life force."

"understood."

Mo Yue obediently returned to the spirit beast pouch.

Xu Chuan first sealed the essence, blood, and demon core of the Jade-Eyed Frost Toad to prevent it from losing its spiritual power. Only after he finished was he able to sit down and meditate.

Fortunately, it wasn't serious. He and Xu Deling recovered to full strength in less than half a day after taking the pills.

then.

Xu Chuan helped Mo Yue reverse his life force and return to his peak, while he himself consumed seventy or eighty percent of his life force, making him look old.

Fortunately, the spiritual energy in the secret realm is extremely abundant.

Places rich in Wood Spirit are also easy to find.

Mo Yue and Xu Deling acted as his protectors.

He sat cross-legged on the grass, his hands forming a hand seal. Within a radius of several miles, the vegetation emitted specks of green light, as if drawn towards Xu Chuan.

Countless plants and trees absorbed into Xu Chuan's body, which he then refined into his own life force.

Just half a stick of incense.

The vegetation within a radius of several miles turned yellow and withered.

Xu Chuan didn't go to extremes either. With the spiritual energy level in the secret realm, this degree of withering and yellowing could be restored in half a year.

However, these plants and trees were not thriving enough, so Xu Chuan had to move on to another location.

Three times in a row.

Two or three days later.

Xu Chuancai has fully recovered.

"Mo Yue, now I'll help you fully recover to your peak condition!" Xu Chuan said, looking at Mo Yue.

"The Demon Spirit Pill is not easy to refine. Isn't the time a bit tight? There are many opportunities in the secret realm." Mo Yue was excited, but still asked with concern.

"Don't worry, I've already refined the real Demon Spirit Pill twice, so I'm quite familiar with it. I can refine it successfully in two or three days."

"You chose to refine this yourself; it's not that I begged you."

Mo Yue immediately reverted to his arrogant nature.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chuan shook his head and chuckled, then went into seclusion.

Mo Yue guarded Xu Chuan, while Xu Deling explored the surrounding area to see if there were any rare spiritual herbs or materials to collect.

at this time.

A mysterious space within a secret realm.

There are many light screens in the air above this place, each displaying an image that shows some of the cultivators who have entered the secret realm.

There was a light screen displaying Xu Chuan's alchemy process, his movements fluid and graceful.

Before the light screen stood a woman with long black hair that reached her shoulders and a jade horn peeking out from her forehead; she appeared to be a dragon's daughter.

The dragon girl was dressed elegantly, wearing a light blue silk dress with silver scale patterns embroidered on it.

She wore a semi-transparent light gauze overcoat, adorned with tiny, sparkling pearls. Under the light, the pearls seemed to fall like stars onto her garment, shimmering and glowing. A black jade belt was tied around her waist, with a buckle shaped like a dragon's head holding a pearl that was luminous. The skirt trailed on the ground, and the hem was embroidered with three layers of wave patterns. Upon closer inspection, one could even see tiny dragon patterns hidden within the waves.

Two white horns on his forehead, the color of mutton fat jade, about half a foot long, slanted towards his temples.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains shrouded in mist, delicate yet not pale, with slightly upturned ends, carrying a hint of liveliness. Her eyes were like a clear pool reflecting stars, with light blue pupils and slightly curved corners. She was staring intently at the scene of medicine being refined on the screen, her eyes gleaming with interest, as if watching an interesting play.

Her nose was small and straight, like a hanging gall bladder; her lips were like cherry petals, pale pink, with a slight upturn at the corners, hinting at a smile.

Her skin was as smooth and white as snow, and the black hair that fell down her neck brushed against her skin, making it appear even more radiant.

The dragon maiden was slender yet strong, leaning against a jade pillar beside her, one hand gently supporting her cheek, her fingertips occasionally lightly touching the air, and her body was surrounded by a faint fragrance of dragon's saliva, which was refreshing and not cloying.

"Demon Spirit Pill, I didn't expect anyone would still be able to refine this pill now. It must be for that water dragon."

Mo Yue appeared in the scene, and it seemed that he had no secrets from the Dragon Girl.

"Approaching his death, his cultivation level dropped by two ranks for some reason. His peak strength should be the peak of the third rank."

He smiled slightly, "Even so, it is still rare that this person was able to successfully establish a spirit beast contract with him."

A third-tier peak dragon is so powerful that even on its deathbed, it would never bow down to what it once considered an ant.

"How did he do it?"

The dragon girl's eyes were filled with curiosity.

“Cultivating the Golden Core chapter of the Azure Emperor Wood Sovereign Scripture, although it is not the true core inheritance of my Azure Dragon Sect, it is one of the few cultivation methods in the sect that can lead directly to the Mahayana stage.”

He specializes in wood-based cultivation, is skilled in alchemy, and formed a contract with a peak third-tier old dragon during his Foundation Establishment stage.

Furthermore, he comprehended the mysteries of the withering and flourishing supernatural power.

He seems to be bound by a great karmic connection, making it impossible for others to see through the changes in his destiny.

Perhaps we could let him try the true disciple assessment.

As her gaze shifted, she looked at Xu Deling's image again, "Born with spiritual eyes, comprehending the divine power of the 'Fire Emperor Scripture,' seemingly skilled in the art of weaponry."

The inheritance of the "Red Emperor Fire Emperor Scripture" within the Azure Dragon Sect is only a fragment, reaching only the Nascent Soul stage, but she still possesses extraordinary luck.

He was related to the previous person by blood and was also entangled in karma, so it was impossible to discern his fate.

If one passes the assessment, one will be granted the inheritance of the Dao of Weapons and the Vermilion Bird Secret Realm Token.

If one has the opportunity, one may be able to obtain the complete "Red Emperor Fire Sovereign Scripture" from the Vermilion Bird Secret Realm.

Then, she gently flicked her sleeve, and a screen of light appeared before her.

The person in the light screen was Dong Zuo.

"They actually know that I'm suppressing a true demon in my Azure Dragon Cave Heaven, and they want to use the demon's energy to break through to the Golden Core stage?" A cold smile appeared on the Dragon Girl's lips. "No matter what era, there are always people who don't know their own mortality!"

In the Dragon Girl's eyes, Dong Zuo's cultivation was not at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, but rather that of a fully established Foundation Establishment cultivator.

It was only because he possessed an ancient, high-level concealment artifact that no one could see through unless their divine sense was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

At this moment, Dong Zuo was holding a special magical artifact, seemingly searching for the place where the true demon was sealed.

In his eyes, Dong Zuo's trip was futile, and he only ended up benefiting others.

The Dragon Girl's gaze swept over many more people, most of whom possessed wisps of luck, but none of them were worth her excessive attention; she merely glanced at them.

If we can pique her interest, perhaps we can grant her some opportunities.

"This person's fate seems to have changed. He should have ended his life in desolation, but now he has the potential to soar to great heights."

The Dragon Girl smiled slightly; the person she was referring to was Chen Changge.

"It will help you achieve your goal of forming your core."

In the Dragon Girl's view, only two or three people who entered the secret realm this time would be able to obtain opportunities, while only two were qualified to receive the inheritance.

Since the founding ancestor of the Tiancang Sect received the inheritance, only one person has ever tried, but unfortunately, he failed.

Now, two people have suddenly appeared.

"It seems that a major upheaval in this world is indeed imminent." The dragon girl's dragon eyes flickered uncertainly.

Three days later.

Xu Chuan successfully refined the pills, producing four Demon Spirit Pills.

One top-grade bean, two medium-grade beans, and one low-grade bean.

The top-grade demon spirit pills were naturally swallowed by Mo Yue, while the rest were left behind.

If Mo Yue is still not quite there, then make him take another low-grade demon spirit pill.

This elixir is precious; it's best to keep it if possible, as it may be useful in the future.

Mo Yue swallowed the pill and returned to Xu Chuan's spirit beast bag to refine it with all his might, while Xu Chuan and Xu Deling headed towards the direction of the Heavenly God Fruit Tree.

More than two days.

The two had just arrived nearby.

There were more than twenty people here, from seven cities, three sects, and the Tiancang Sect.

Xu Chuan also saw Chen Changge.

The Chen family possesses both pill formulas and top-tier alchemy masters. Their previous supply of Nourishing Spirit Pills has been exhausted, and Chen Changge intends to acquire a few more to refine several batches of Nourishing Spirit Pills as part of the family's resources.

Whether it's for the family's geniuses to consume or for trading in other rare resources, it's a good choice.

Chen Changge noticed Xu Chuan and his companion, and immediately flew over, cupping his fists and smiling, "I knew you would come, Brother Xu."

Xu Chuan returned the greeting with clasped hands and asked, "What's the situation now?"

Chen Changge curled his lip and said, "What else could it be but the distribution of profits?"

"Have the surrounding monsters been eliminated?"

Chen Changge nodded slightly and said with a wry smile, "Brother Xu, you're late."

"The Celestial Fruit can only be used to refine pills after it has been grown for sixty years or more. I see that the Celestial Tree seems to have produced quite a few."

"Thirty-six of them are suitable for alchemy," Chen Changge said. "It's fortunate that this tree is nearly ten thousand years old, otherwise it wouldn't be able to produce so many Heavenly God Fruits."

"Brother Xu, look, a small tree has grown next to it. I estimate that it will start to bear fruit in another 10 or 20 years. Perhaps there will only be one or two trees in the first few years, but that's the potential."

Unfortunately, it will most likely fall into the hands of the Xi family of the Tiancang Sect.

"The Xi family?" He was quite surprised to see Chen Changge so certain.

"The current Supreme Elder of the Tiancang Sect is surnamed Xi. Brother Xu should know that only Nascent Soul stage experts can become Supreme Elders."

As he spoke, Chen Changge pointed out a Xi family disciple present and said, "He is a direct descendant of the Xi family, named Xi Nantian."

I've heard that the Xi family doesn't distinguish between direct descendants based on bloodline, but rather on their aptitude.

Only those with a spiritual root of earth or higher, and a chance of reaching the Golden Core stage, are considered direct descendants; otherwise, even the offspring of the family head will be classified as collateral descendants.

"That's interesting," Xu Chuan murmured. "Is the Xi family a descendant of the founding ancestor of the Tiancang Sect?"

"No," Chen Changge said. "The founding ancestors of the Tiancang Sect were from the Cang family. Although the Cang family has declined somewhat compared to its heyday, it still has Golden Core True Persons in every generation, sometimes as many as four or five."

Furthermore, he frequently befriends promising geniuses within his clan, resulting in a complex and intricate network of relationships.

Even if the Xi family wanted to deal with it, they would have to risk the Tiancang Sect falling apart.

"The Cang family truly possesses great wisdom."

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Chen, did you gain anything?" Xu Chuan asked.

Chen Changge thought that Xu Chuan wanted to obtain the Heavenly God Fruit through him, and after hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "If I have more than three, I will definitely give one to Brother Xu."

Xu Chuan waved his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen is overthinking it. That's not what I meant."

"Since I am not destined to receive the Heavenly God Fruit, I will go and explore other places first."

Chen Changge was slightly taken aback, then smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute, "Then I wish Brother Xu good luck."

"Thank you."

Xu Chuan and his companion left quickly.

More than ten miles away.

Xu Chuan woke up Mo Yue, intending to have him drive away those sects and aristocratic families who made up 70% of the population.

Mo Yue agreed immediately.

However, before setting off, Xu Chuan colored it to disguise it as a blue dragon, so that if Mo Yue were exposed outside in the future, it wouldn't be recognized and cause trouble.

"Xu Chuan, you're really a coward!" Mo Yue said speechlessly.

"I reckon they should distribute the fruits to individuals first, then to sects. Once the Chen family gets the Heavenly God Fruit, you should make your appearance at the right moment. If anyone tries to steal the Heavenly God Fruit by chance, you'll have to deal with them."

"Hey, I understand."

The person who obtained the Heavenly Divine Fruit was Xi Tiannan of the Xi family.

Chen Tiange obtained the Heavenly God Fruit for the Chen family, so it belonged to him personally. He killed a peak second-tier demon beast and contributed a lot, so he received two fruits.

The other six scions of prominent families also contributed, but their performance was mediocre, so they were allocated one.

The remaining twenty-eight stones belong to the Tiancang Sect and the Qingmu Sect.

Among them, the Tiancang Sect has fourteen, the Qingmu Sect has six, and the Jiaocang Sect and Qingcang Sect each have four.

Unfortunately, they haven't been able to assign them yet.

A deafening dragon roar erupted, followed by the oppressive aura of a peak third-tier demon beast that permeated the surrounding area for dozens of miles.

Everyone's face turned deathly pale.

"It's that dragon! He's out patrolling again!"

"Run!"

Everyone scattered like birds and beasts!
Xi Tiannan and the others wanted to take the opportunity to seize the Heavenly God Fruit, but then they saw countless ice shards shooting towards them. Their expressions changed, and they hurriedly released top-level defensive magic artifacts to defend against them.

However, under this attack, their top-tier defensive magic artifacts shattered in less than a breath, and everyone was seriously injured.

They dared not linger any longer, each taking out a Hundred-Mile Talisman and activating it instantly, transforming into streaks of light and disappearing into the distance.

Mo Yue only notified Xu Chuan when there were no more cultivators within a radius of fifty or sixty miles.

Xu Chuan and Xu Deling strolled leisurely to the Heavenly God Fruit Tree.

He smiled slightly and said, "They all belong to the Xu family."

Upon hearing this, Xu Deling covered her mouth and smiled.

After harvesting the ripe Heavenly God Fruit, Xu Chuan's gaze fell upon the sapling of the Heavenly God Fruit tree, which was only three or four meters tall.

"The concentration of spiritual energy is not enough; I estimate that only spiritual soil can make up for it."

Xu Chuan took out a dark-colored bonsai and said to the locust sapling in the bonsai, "Little sapling, can I borrow your space for a bit? You don't need that much spiritual soil anyway."

This bonsai is a special ritual implement that can compress space.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the locust tree sapling is only six or seven inches tall. If it were moved to the outside world, it would probably grow taller than this sapling of the Heavenly Fruit Tree.

Xu Chuan had already refined this magical artifact, which is why he knew all this.

He immediately began transplanting the plants.

They left quietly after it was over.

The Dragon Girl chuckled as she watched this scene through the light screen.

"So cautious, yet so greedy; I wonder what kind of environment could have produced such a character."

However, Xu Chuan brought Mo Yue in, which undoubtedly makes him the biggest winner in this secret realm.

Having achieved their two main objectives, Xu Chuan and his companion would have a more relaxed time for the next half month.

Just wander around.

With Xu Chuan's Golden Core divine sense present, one can avoid powerful demonic beasts and cultivators in advance.

If they want certain spiritual herbs or materials, they will naturally compete for them.

As for innate spiritual objects and secret realm inheritances, Xu Chuan felt that it all depended on luck.

After escaping from the Heavenly God Fruit Tree, Chen Changge soon discovered a primordial spiritual object in a cave on a mountain peak.

Although it was only of the lower grade, Chen Changge was no longer the same as before. Without much hesitation, he set up an array at the entrance of the cave and then went into seclusion.

With his innate spiritual root talent, his ability to comprehend a trace of supernatural power, and his possession of a primordial spiritual object, his chances of forming a core are as high as 50% to 60%.

"It's still the metal-type innate spiritual object that's most compatible with me. This time, I'm sure I'll be able to advance to the Golden Core stage!"

Chen Changge sat cross-legged on the ground and began refining the innate spiritual object in order to break through to the Golden Core stage.

As Xu Chuan and Xu Deling moved through the woods, they suddenly sensed a slight spatial fluctuation on an ancient tree.

"This is?"

Xu Chuan seemed to be deep in thought.

"Spatial ripples can't appear out of nowhere. Could there be a special space within the secret realm?"

He exchanged a glance with Xu Deling.

Xu Deling said, "Grandfather, let me go in and find out what's going on."

“I am your grandfather, why would I hide behind you? Let’s go in together. Perhaps we, grandfather and grandson, will be fortunate enough to obtain the opportunity to inherit the secrets of the Heavenly Azure Realm.”

Xu Deling nodded slightly and walked side by side with Xu Chuan toward the spatial ripples.

The moment they touched, the two figures vanished from their original positions without a trace.

When it reappeared, it was in the center of a spacious, bright hall that was predominantly gray, with six stone doors around it.

Ancient characters are inscribed above the stone gate.

Xu Chuan took the time to specifically study ancient Chinese characters.

These characters are elixir, weapon, array, talisman, technique, and deduction.

This is clearly a performance evaluation.

Xu Chuan analyzed the situation calmly.

Suddenly.

A mechanical voice came from the empty space above the hall, calm and still, like the clash of metal and stone, without distinction between men and women, or between the young and the old.

"This is the Canglong Sect disciple assessment. The six disciplines correspond to the six inheritances of alchemy, weapon crafting, array formation, talisman, technique, and deduction. You can choose one discipline to enter. Those who pass can become candidates for the Canglong Sect's true successor."

"The Ancient Azure Dragon Sect's disciple assessment, a candidate for true disciple?" Xu Chuan raised an eyebrow, exclaiming in shock. He then clasped his hands and looked into the void, "May I ask what a candidate for true disciple is, how one becomes a true disciple, and what the benefits are?"

“Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage can become candidates for true disciples by passing the corresponding tests and receive the corresponding inheritance of the Azure Dragon Sect. Only those who successfully form a core with their supernatural powers can become true disciples.”

The true teachings of the Azure Dragon Sect, from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage.

Becoming a true disciple grants access to a complete lineage and a true disciple token, which allows direct teleportation into the Azure Dragon Secret Realm when it opens.

One True Inheritance Token allows you to bring eight attendants or followers with you.

"Can one become a true disciple by passing these tests?"

"Only those who pass the test and successfully form their inner core through supernatural powers can do so."

"Could we try a variety of assessment methods?"

"At most three doors."

Xu Chuan stopped asking questions and exchanged a glance with Xu Deling.

Xu Deling understood immediately and walked towards the gate of the weapon-crafting assessment. He gathered a stream of magical power at his fingertips and poured it into the stone gate.

The character "器" above it suddenly emitted a faint red light.

Then the stone gate of the artifact passage opened slowly and automatically, and Xu Deling stepped into it without hesitation.

Then the stone door slowly closed.

Xu Chuan took a deep breath, walked to the stone gate with the character "Dan" on it, and stepped inside without thinking twice after the gate opened.
