Chapter 274 The Secret Technique of Yin-Yang Harmony and Great Joy

"Master, is this technique legitimate?"

Upon hearing the name of this technique, Xu Deyue couldn't help but ask.

“It’s serious,” Murong Yun said. “This is what I obtained after defeating a demon from the Hehuan Sect. I just glanced at it casually and then ignored it.”

After all, my disciple, you know that I primarily cultivate the *Su Nu Tai Yin Jing*, and therefore need to maintain my primordial yin body.

"Master, you don't need to explain so much. Time is of the essence. Just teach your disciple the secret technique directly."

“Alright.” Murong Yun immediately transmitted the technique to him with her divine sense, and then added, “Although this technique is not considered the most advanced secret technique in the Hehuan Sect, it is still considered top-tier.”

It emphasizes the fusion of spirit and flesh, the harmony of yin and yang, to attain the true meaning of supreme joy.

When combined with special postures and when emotions are in harmony, and supplemented with secret incantations, one can quickly improve their cultivation and spiritual awareness.

The first boost is the most significant.

Of course, one can also unilaterally absorb yin to supplement yang or yang to supplement yin, simply by hiding the corresponding key content.

"Master, how do you know so much?"

"Ahem." Murong Yun coughed twice. "Well, I overheard a fellow disciple mentioning it by chance."

Xu Deyue obtained the complete "Secret Technique of Yin-Yang Harmony and Great Joy" and quickly comprehended it.

Even though she was already a married woman, she still blushed at some of the postures described in the book, and two blushes involuntarily rose on her cheeks.

"Hey, speaking of which, your physiques just happen to conform to the Yin-Yang principle. If you had cultivated before your primordial Yin and primordial Yang were broken, it might have directly allowed your divine sense to break through to the Golden Core level, allowing him to advance one or two minor realms."

"It's all my fault for not thinking of this back then."

Xu Deyue's lips twitched slightly. She glanced at Ye Fan, then walked over and said, "Husband, I will pass on a secret technique to you. We will practice it together tonight."

"What secret technique?" Ye Fan opened his eyes and smiled gently at her.

"Close your eyes and concentrate."

Ye Fan did as instructed.

Xu Deyue raised her delicate hand and touched his brow with one finger.

A few moments.

"This..." Ye Fan's face flushed slightly, and his mouth even felt dry. "Is this the secret technique of dual cultivation?"

Xu Deyue briefly explained the effects and origins of this technique to Ye Fan.

"If it's so miraculous, let's try it quickly. It'll be a good opportunity to improve our strength before entering the secret realm."

"Ah."

Xu Deyue nodded slightly, her cheeks still flushed. She raised her hand and gently loosened her clothes. With a slight movement of her fair hand, the light blue skirt slipped down, revealing her fair and jade-like skin.

Ye Fan also removed all his clothes, revealing a faint golden glow flowing across his bronze skin, which made his tall and imposing figure even more striking.

The two kept trying.

He used a secret technique, silently chanting incantations, and the two forces of extreme yin and extreme cold magic power and extreme yang and extreme hard magic power continuously merged.

The power of Yin and Yang in harmony flows through both parties' limbs, bones, and dantian.

Xu Deyue's magical power became profound and pure once again, and Ye Fan's magical power also continued to rise.

Finally, their souls began to merge, and their souls were nourished by a mysterious power, growing stronger and stronger, and their spiritual power also increased rapidly.

An hour later.

Both of them were drenched in sweat.

"As expected, he has reached the limit of Foundation Establishment Divine Sense," Xu Deyue said with delight.

"My spiritual sense has also reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, and my realm has reached the late stage of the seventh level of Foundation Establishment. My magical power is profound and solid, without any signs of being superficial."

Ye Fan had also undergone a premature transformation of his divine sense into divine consciousness, which made his divine consciousness far superior to those of others at the same level, comparable to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to perfectly control the powerful physical strength.

Then, Xu Deyue took out the three Nourishing Spirit Pills that Xu Chuan had given her long ago.

He will give it to anyone who reaches the Foundation Establishment stage. Even if they don't have the opportunity to break through to the Golden Core stage, they can still reach the Foundation Establishment limit.

Breaking through to the Golden Core level in this way would make one stronger than other cultivators of the same realm.

Of course, they can't compare to those who have undergone early transformation, like Xu Chuan and Xu Deling, whose spiritual power after breaking through to the Golden Core stage might be comparable to that of the mid-stage Golden Core.

"According to Sister Ling's experience in breaking through, those who reach the limit of divine sense only need to take two pills at the same time."

Xu Deyue immediately did as instructed.

By the morning of the following day, the transformation of the soul had been successfully completed.

After that, Xu Deyue devoted herself to cultivating the Nine Seals Transformed into Three of the Cold Heaven Seal.

Ye Fan, on the other hand, is focusing on improving his cultivation. Practicing fist techniques is not suitable at the moment, especially since he has already mastered the first form of the Brahma Sacred Fist at an extremely fast pace.

It's quite difficult to reach perfection in a short period of time.

This can only be understood through one's own efforts; external forces are almost useless.

The two had just tasted the flavor of the "Secret Technique of Yin-Yang Harmony and Great Joy," and like someone who had tasted the marrow, they would practice it for half an hour to an hour every night.

Although the improvement was not as great as the first time, it was still effective.

It will take at least two days.

Ye Fan's cultivation level has broken through to the eighth level of Foundation Establishment.

Xu Chuan was quite surprised by this, and then learned about the existence of the secret technique from them.

Xu Chuan, with a straight face, said seriously, "If you have such a good thing, why don't you share it!"

"This technique requires dual cultivation to be effective."

Ye Fan scratched his head and then explained the complete secret technique.

After receiving it, Xu Chuan grinned and said, "Couldn't we familiarize ourselves with it beforehand and use it later?"

"Master, you are right." Ye Fan's lips twitched slightly.

"Alright." Xu Chuan patted his shoulder and said, "It's time to participate in the secret realm competition. Since you've both made breakthroughs, then do your best."

"Yes, Master (Grandfather)."

The group, along with the people from Tiancang Mansion, headed to the arena plaza where they had previously been.

The entrance to the secret realm is also located here.

This place was originally a natural secret realm. After all the opportunities and blessings were taken, it was transformed into a trial realm for the Xuan Yue Sect.

Chenshi.

As dawn breaks, the clouds are bathed in rosy hues.

The eight families gathered again, and onlookers surrounded them.

In the last arena battle, Xu Chuan earned a whopping 21,000 spirit stones.

This battle for the secret realm is related to the competition for a spot on the list of 72 prodigies, so the stakes are naturally much higher.

There are bets not only on who will get the 72 spots, but also on who will become the champion.

Xu Chuan glanced at it and only participated in the former, betting that Ye Fan, Xu Mingxian, and Xu Deyue could make it into the seventy-two spots.

The amount remains at three thousand spirit stones per person.

The odds for Xu Deyue to be one of the seventy-two are 1 to 1.5.

Xu Mingxian's odds are 1 to 5.

Ye Fan's odds are 1 to 5.

The reason the odds are so high is because almost no one believes that the two of them can break into the top 72.

Every moment.

Qingxuan Zhenjun once again came from afar and stopped in the air above the square.

"This competition is a battle for the secret realm. The rules are as follows: steal another person's identity token, one point for each token. People from the same prefecture are not allowed to give tokens to each other, but people from different prefectures are allowed to do so."

There are no other rules.

They are not bound by life or death, nor by any means; they can form alliances, launch surprise attacks, and assassinate each other.

The trial ended when only seventy-two people remained in the secret realm.

The trial area is 100 li (approximately 50 kilometers), and there will be a fog outside of that area. Once you enter the fog, you will be eliminated.

Every other day, the area covered by the fog will gradually shrink.

Ten days later, the area will be reduced to a radius of one li.

The final seventy-two players were ranked according to their scores.

The ranking determines the rewards. The top 36 can request the opportunities they need to maximize their strength.

Of course, the degree of opportunity depends on the ranking.

The top-ranking player can be awarded the highest-grade opportunity of the third tier, including elixirs, magic weapons, talismans, arrays, secret techniques, supernatural powers, materials, spiritual herbs, spirit stones, etc.

Among them, the highest-grade magic weapon is a low-grade magic weapon, the talisman is a third-tier low-grade talisman, the array weapon is a second-tier top-grade array weapon, the materials and spiritual herbs can reach the third-tier high-grade, and the spirit stones can be a certain type of high-grade spirit stone.

The second to tenth place winners can obtain the highest-grade mid-tier opportunity, with magic weapons, talismans, and array artifacts being downgraded by one level, while materials and spiritual herbs can reach the mid-tier mid-tier.

The eleventh to thirty-sixth place winners can obtain a third-tier low-grade opportunity, with magic treasures, talismans, and arrays as above, but materials and spiritual herbs will be one grade lower.

Before entering, each person will receive a life-saving jade token.

If you actively crush the jade tablet, you can be teleported back to the plaza after three breaths. How you survive those three breaths depends entirely on your own abilities.

There have been quite a few corpses teleported out in previous years.

After speaking, True Monarch Qingxuan flicked his moon-white sleeves, and beams of spiritual light shot out, landing accurately in the hands of each cultivator who entered the second round.

"Within this secret realm, life and death are irrelevant. Remember, only those who survive to the end are true geniuses!"

After giving another word of advice, Qingxuan Zhenjun took out a token from his sleeve and activated it with his immense magical power, opening a secret realm entrance with a diameter of three zhang in the sky above the plaza.

"Everyone, please come inside."

As soon as the words fell, one Foundation Establishment cultivator after another soared into the air, transforming into streaks of light of various colors and rushing into the secret realm.

Finally, it was Qingxuan Zhenjun himself who entered.

As the host of this trial, he must stop the Foundation Establishment geniuses from fighting when only seventy-two people remain in the secret realm.

Otherwise, driven to a frenzy, they might continue fighting indefinitely.

The square was filled with onlookers discussing and talking.

"It's a pity that the Mystic Mirror didn't appear during this trial of the secret realm, otherwise it would have been much more interesting," someone sighed.

"Do you think this is a game? If information about the many hidden strengths of these prodigies were to leak out, they would inevitably be targeted during the competition for the Prodigy Ranking."

Moreover, no one wants to expose their frenzied, fighting side in front of others.

If this were to happen outside, I doubt many people would let the onlookers off the hook.

"makes sense."

Many people agree with this.

Canglang Zhenjun looked at the Tiancangfu camp and provoked again: "Fellow Daoist Qingmu, the number of people from our two sects entering the secret realm this time is not much different."

"Shall we make a bet with this True Lord and see which of our two prefectures has more people among the final seventy-two?"

"I have no time or inclination for such things," said True Monarch Qingmu indifferently.

"Fellow Daoist Qingmu, you wouldn't dare, would you? After all, in recent times, when has your Tiancang Palace not come in last place?"

Upon hearing this, Aoki Shinjun frowned slightly, but did not speak.

"How about this? As long as you participate, my sect will return the bodies of your sect members who perished in the secret realm last time. What do you say?"
Don't worry, this isn't included in the bet.

Regardless of victory or defeat, our sect will abide by the agreement, after all, so many powerful forces are witnessing this.”

A wave of emotion rose in Qingmu Zhenjun's heart. Although taking out the corpses would be of little use, many people had fallen last time. If they were brought back, it could stabilize people's hearts and enhance cohesion.

"What do you want to bet on?"

"Our sect exchanged two third-tier spiritual veins for a territory of a hundred miles in the Tiancang Prefecture."

The other Golden Core cultivators from the other prefectures felt a chill run down their spines.

The Greedy Wolf Sect is plotting against the entire Heavenly Cang Prefecture!
The Greedy Wolf Prefecture borders the Heavenly Azure Prefecture.

Tiancang Prefecture is the weakest of the eight prefectures, while Tanlang Sect is a demonic sect with extremely strong aggressiveness.

The Golden Core cultivator of the Xuan Yue Sect frowned, but ultimately remained silent.

Aoki Shinjun remained silent for a long time.

The Azure Wolf True Lord smiled and said, "Azure Wood True Lord, there is no agreement between the various prefectures that they cannot attack each other. It's just that the strength of the various Nascent Soul forces is roughly the same."

If both sides suffer heavy losses, it is easy for others to take advantage of the situation, so they have remained at peace.

Similar things happened a thousand years ago, didn't they?

All the factions remained silent.

Regardless of whether they agree or not, the Greedy Wolf Mansion seems determined to acquire the Heavenly Azure Mansion.

They were also curious about what gave the Greedy Wolf Sect the confidence to make such outrageous statements.

"Whether we gamble or not, the struggle between the Greedy Wolf Sect and my Heavenly Azure Sect is inevitable. After this battle for the secret realm ends, we need to send someone back with the news and be on high alert."

As for the quota for prodigies, if we're lucky, we might be able to surpass it this time.

"Alright, I, the True Lord, will make a bet with you, but the conditions need to be changed. If the number of geniuses in our two academies is equal, then my Heavenly Azure Academy will be considered the winner."

"Fine." True Monarch Canglang grinned, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes. "You, Tiancang Sect, dare to compare yourself to my Tanlang Sect?"
This is the strongest lineup in the history of my Greedy Wolf Sect; we can even contend for the top spot.

All forces in Tiancang Prefecture felt immense pressure.

The war between the two prefectures has far-reaching consequences, and even the Golden Core families are now facing imminent danger.

Seeing the somber expressions on everyone's faces, True Monarch Qingmu said, "The sects or families that have made great contributions to this Gathering of Prodigies will be rewarded with a third-tier spiritual vein, even if they have failed to defeat the Greedy Wolf Mansion."

Xu Chuan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, but he was also worried about the changes in Tiancang Prefecture.

"Having only been here for a little over a decade, and not yet having experienced the great calamity that erupted in the prison, I must first experience the clash between Nascent Soul level forces outside."

That's just too unlucky.

However, having a third-tier spiritual vein as compensation is some consolation.

Xu Chuan was still at ease with the three of them.

After all, he had made sure Xu Mingxian was fully prepared!

------------

In the secret realm.

The group was then teleported into a forest, where a thick fog enveloped the area for miles around.

Xuanqing Zhenjun sat cross-legged high in the sky, his divine sense covering the entire hundred-mile area.

Ordinary Golden Core cultivators' divine senses could not cover such a large area; only Xuanqing Zhenjun, who had reached the perfection of the Golden Core stage, could do so.

Xu Mingxian, Xu Deyue, and Ye Fan were not in the same place.

Fortunately, Xu Deyue broke through to the Golden Core stage and released her divine sense the moment she and Xu Mingxian entered the forest.

A moment later, the two sensed each other's presence. They were located at the eastern and western edges of the forest, while Ye Fan was lucky enough to be roughly in the middle.

If the fog contracts evenly, then Ye Fan is essentially the chosen one.

Xu Mingxian and Xu Deyue immediately withdrew their divine senses and moved closer to Ye Fan's location.

But shortly after they began their flight, they encountered an opponent from his own territory.

Neither of them held back. Xu Deyue immediately used one of the nine seals of the Cold Heaven Seal, transforming it into three, and shattered the Xuan Yue Mansion cultivator's defenses in one strike.

The man's expression changed drastically. Without saying a word, he patted his storage bag, took out an escape talisman, and flew more than ten miles away.

Xu Deyue dispersed the hand seals and continued flying forward.

Of course, if the other party still intends to fight, he wouldn't mind taking an identity token.

After escaping, the Xuan Yue Sect disciple said with lingering fear, "Xu Deyue is indeed powerful, but I was at least ranked fifteenth among the Xuan Yue Mansion disciples participating in this competition."

She was hiding her true abilities?!
I feel that his strength is already on par with the top five geniuses of the Xuan Yue Sect.

He sighed softly, then said, "Sure enough, when it comes to this final battle for the secret realm, all sorts of monsters and demons have come out."

High in the sky, True Lord Qingxuan stroked his beard and smiled faintly, "This girl from the Xu family actually managed to fool even me."

He didn't think Xu Deyue could improve so much in just three days.

"Xu Deyue and Xu Mingxian, their divine senses are both at the Golden Core level. This Xu family is truly interesting."

As the host of this competition, I will not interfere even if the genius of Xuan Yue Sect dies.

Only those who survive are true geniuses!

In just a short time, battles broke out in various places within this hundred-mile radius.

They would flee immediately if they suffered any setback.

At the beginning, they had plenty of trump cards, and each possessed at least a top-tier defensive magic weapon. Even if they were geniuses who had mastered supernatural powers, they could withstand one or two attacks and then escape without any problem.

Just like that Xuan Yue Mansion cultivator before.

Therefore, after a stick of incense had burned, no one had been eliminated.

Xu Deyue and Xu Mingxian fought their way through, and it took them nearly two hours to cover the distance of several dozen miles.

It wasn't just the three of them who were meeting up; most of the others were doing the same.

However, their divine senses were basically only at the Foundation Establishment stage, so they could only probe within a radius of eight or nine miles. In addition, since they were all at the same level of divine sense, they could not hide it from others and were likely to attract enemies.

Therefore, unless the others are very lucky, it will not be easy for them to reunite.

Among those from Tiancang Prefecture who qualified for the Secret Realm Battle, they were divided into three groups: five from Tiancang Sect, three from Xu Family, and four from Yan Kuangtu, Yan Fengwu, Shangguan Hong, and Wenren Jie.

Finally, Chen Tianlei of the Chen family has connections in all three camps. If he encounters the Xu family, he can join them thanks to the relationship between Xu Chuan and Chen Changge. If he encounters a powerful family, as a newly emerging Golden Core family, he can band together for mutual support.

If you encounter the Tiancang Sect, you can also integrate into it.

Xu Mingxian was the first to arrive near Ye Fan, making quite a commotion.

The Qingye Mansion cultivators who were fighting Ye Fan sensed that Xu Mingxian was coming, so they immediately forced Ye Fan back and flew away to the south.

Ye Fan didn't want to reveal his strength too early, and he was too lazy to chase after it, so he let it leave.

Xu Mingxian landed.

Ye Fan smiled and stepped forward, calling out, "Father-in-law."

Xu Mingxian nodded slightly, then spread her divine sense and quickly sensed Xu Deyue's location.

"De Yue is fighting with the Tanlang Sect members about six or seven miles to the east. It seems that the Tanlang Sect is ranked fourth and is named Ding Ming."

"Come on, let's go over there."

The two immediately went over, but given that they had seen many people escape during the previous battle, Xu Mingxian decided to secretly set up an array as well.

Ye Fan agreed.

After half a cup of tea.

The two quietly approached the vicinity, where Xu Deyue and Ding Ming were engaged in a fierce battle.

Xu Deyue is in a tough battle.

She couldn't defeat her opponent even after using the "Three Seals of Frosty Heaven".

Ding Ming was also surprised. While dealing with Xu Deyue, he said, "I didn't expect Fairy Xu to have been hiding her strength. You are now capable of competing for the number one spot in Tiancang Prefecture, aren't you?"

"You are the same. You only ranked fourth, yet you have mastered supernatural powers. Logically speaking, the Greedy Wolf Sect should have listed you as a seed player."

"Hmph, what do you know? If it weren't for those two guys who suddenly appeared, I would be ranked second among this year's Greedy Wolf Sect disciples!"

Ding Ming said, "I won't say any more to you. Although you are quite strong, Fairy Xu, you killed Mo Sheng of my Greedy Wolf Sect in the previous arena battle, which angered my sect's Azure Wolf True Monarch."

He gave the order that if anyone from the Xu family is encountered in the secret realm, they must be made to die in the most painful way possible!

Ding Ming formed hand seals and unleashed a demonic secret technique, instantly boosting his aura significantly. Xu Deyue's expression turned solemn, and he even considered using the "Taiyin" flying sword.

Just then, array light screens rose up around them.

Then another cold voice rang out all around.

"You're not qualified to kill anyone from my Xu family!"

The Six Harmonies Sealing Formation enveloped the area, isolating all battle fluctuations.

Xu Mingxian and Ye Fan shot over from hundreds of meters away and arrived beside Xu Deyue.

“Father, husband.” Xu Deyue’s eyes flashed with joy, and her heart was instantly at ease.

"Now that everyone's here, it's perfect to send you three on your way!"

Ding Ming's demonic power was overwhelming, and his strength was truly terrifying!
Seeing Ding Ming's blood-red battle blade heading straight for Xu Deyue, Ye Fan's expression suddenly turned furious, and his aura surged dramatically, with no more reservations.

Golden light swirled around him, and crimson-gold armor flew out of his storage bag, instantly covering his body.

He also donned gauntlets that gleamed with a crimson-gold light, and his body grew by half a foot, his muscles bulging, exuding a terrifying aura like a humanoid monster.

"Bang!" Ye Fan stomped on the ground, leaving a deep crater.

He took advantage of the momentum and shot out like a cannonball, arriving in front of Ding Ming in the blink of an eye.

Ding Ming's blood-red battle blade was shrouded in murderous aura as he was about to slash at Xu Deyue when he saw Ye Fan's sudden attack and hurriedly parried with his own blade.

Ye Fan's eyes were bloodshot, and he unleashed the first move of the Brahma Holy Fist, "Overlord Fist," with a thunderous roar. The powerful fist wind, carrying a pale golden light, collided with the blood-red battle blade.

"clang!"

The sound of metal clashing was deafening. Ding Ming felt his arm go numb, and his heart was filled with shock and anger.

Ye Fan was actually hiding his strength; his aura was so powerful that it was comparable to a peak second-tier demonic beast!

Before he could react, Ye Fan had already engaged him in close combat, unleashing a barrage of punches like a whirlwind. The Brahma Holy Fist was incredibly powerful, each move like a small mountain crashing down.

Ding Ming was firmly restrained, making it difficult for him to escape.

Originally, his demonic sword technique, combined with this two-patterned magic weapon, the demonic sword, was almost invincible, but now it was blocked by a Foundation Establishment level eight cultivator with his fists.

Even though the gauntlet armor was a level two magic weapon, the residual power from the battle was enough to shatter its bones.

But Ding Ming saw that Ye Fan was completely unharmed and instead became even more courageous in battle.

"What terrifying fist techniques! What a powerful physique!"

"And wasn't he only at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment a few days ago?!"

Even Ding Ming had to admit that Ye Fan was qualified to fight him at this moment, in addition to Xu Deyue and Xu Mingxian.

He had a vague sense of unease.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xu Deyue retreated to a distance, her fingertips forming hand seals. A clear, watery spell shot towards Ding Ming like an arrow. At the same time, she formed hand seals and unleashed the Frosty Heaven Seal, which landed on Ding Ming.

Xu Mingxian also unleashed the Taibai Sword Technique from a distance, several golden sword beams transforming into rainbows, coordinating with Xu Deyue's spells to launch a pincer attack.

Under the combined attack of the three, Ding Ming's pressure increased sharply once again, and his blood-red battle blade was struggling to defend itself.

He glanced at the array light screen around him, occasionally waving his sword to attack the array light screen during gaps, but he could only cause a slight ripple on the light screen.

"What grade of formation is this?!"

Then, he used a stealth technique, his body transforming into a black ray of light, but he crashed into the array's light barrier and was unable to escape at all.

"how come?!"

Xu Mingxian said, "This formation isolates space and is specifically designed to counter escape techniques and talismans. You have nowhere to escape!"

"You set up this grand formation, didn't you? Well then, I'll kill you first!"

Ding Ming shot towards Xu Mingxian, but was blocked by Ye Fan midway. Xu Deyue also unleashed the "Three Seals of Frosty Heaven" and crashed into him fiercely.

"If you want to kill me, then I'll at least take one of you down with me!"

Ding Ming began a desperate fight.

However, Ye Fan's physical body and strength were truly terrifying, and he also possessed a two-patterned defensive armor. Even someone who had mastered forty or fifty percent of their divine power would find it difficult to take his life.
Moreover, Xu Deyue should not be underestimated at all; the power of his "Three Seals of Frosty Heaven" is comparable to 20% of the power of a divine ability.

Seeing that he had gone mad, Xu Mingxian immediately deployed a battle formation.

Over this period of time, he has been able to compress the time required to cast battle formations to three breaths, and he can cast three battle formations simultaneously.

One formation after another was formed.

Within the Five Elements Battle Formation, the power of the five elements transformed into several chains that extended from the void, binding Ding Ming tightly.

Ding Ming was unable to break free from the binding force of the five second-tier formations instantly.

Xu Deyue's Frost Heaven Seal landed on him, quickly freezing him. Finally, Ye Fan closed in and smashed his body with a punch.

Pong!
Ice shards flew everywhere!

Ye Fan reached out and picked up the scattered storage bags, scanned them with his divine sense, and said with a faint smile, "There are quite a few things, including two identity tokens. We can each take one."

Ye Fan took out the tokens and handed two of them to Xu Deyue and Xu Mingxian.

Then he added, "Father-in-law, move the rest of the items into your storage bag."

Xu Mingxian nodded. After the items were transferred, the mid-level storage bag was also left behind.

"By the way, Father, there's something that I find a bit strange."

Xu Deyue recounted Ding Ming's earlier statement that he was originally ranked second in the Greedy Wolf Sect, but was later squeezed out of the top three by two suddenly emerging individuals.

Xu Mingxian's eyes flickered slightly as she pondered.

"With Ding Ming's strength, he should have been able to help the Greedy Wolf Sect obtain a spot for a prodigy, but he values ​​the two who suddenly appeared even more."

This only proves that the two are of great use to the Greedy Wolf Sect, and that their strength is indeed superior to Ding Ming's.

Ye Fan exclaimed in surprise, "Doesn't that mean that the Greedy Wolf Sect has four geniuses who possess supernatural powers this time?!"

"There are three now," Xu Deyue said calmly, glancing at the ice shards scattered on the ground.

"But this level is probably second only to the Xuan Yue Sect, right?"

"I had a bad feeling. Considering my father's instructions to me before I left this morning, I was afraid the danger came from those two people from the Greedy Wolf Sect."

Perhaps I'll run into an old friend.

After that, Xu Mingxian did not speak, but instead transmitted her thoughts through divine sense.

Ye Fan immediately thought, "Could it be related to the heavy losses suffered during the last trip to the Tiancang Sect's secret realm? Its sudden appearance, combined with the timing and what Ding Ming said, is indeed very likely."

Xu Mingxian said, "No matter what, the three of us must not be separated. We have witnessed their methods before."

Last time, the Xu family went all out to suppress the ancient demon Yeromo. Although they had a good chance of winning, Xu Chuan was almost possessed at the last moment.

Ye Fan and Xu Deyue exchanged a glance and both nodded slightly.

The three of them immediately began searching for other contestants to earn points.

Ye Fan engaged in close combat, Xu Deyue used remote ice control, and finally Xu Mingxian used an array to isolate the space.

Any cultivator who encountered the three of them and did not immediately flee had their tokens taken away.

However, they were not bloodthirsty people. After some of them were severely injured and their storage bags and tokens were confiscated, they were allowed to crush the jade tokens and leave.

But none of those who sensed the killing intent were spared.

"Unexpectedly, the most troublesome group in this preliminary round of the Heavenly Pride Gathering is the Foundation Establishment family from Tiancang Prefecture."

Qingxuan Zhenjun stroked his beard and sighed softly, "If the three of them joined forces, even Xuanzhi would have a hard time predicting the outcome."

"What our master said about the wind rising over the heavens seems to be true."

Then, his gaze fell on the two demonic cultivators from the Greedy Wolf Sect.

"Having achieved the peak of Foundation Establishment, one's divine sense has reached the limit of Foundation Establishment, and one is extremely skilled in using supernatural powers. One can unleash 50-60% of one's supernatural power with a casual strike."

Moreover, he comprehended more than one supernatural power.

Without using magical artifacts, it can suppress more than 90% of cultivators.

His movement, combat skills, and other aspects are almost impeccable!
They are all capable of competing for the top spot.

How could the Greedy Wolf Sect possibly have two disciples like this!

He sensed something unusual, but he couldn't interfere. Even if there was a problem, he could only investigate the two of them in detail after the battle for the secret realm.

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

The fog began to shrink.

The fighting between the various parties intensified further, with manhunts unfolding in various locations.

Many people who wanted to form alliances met because of this. In some cases, the situation reversed, and they turned around and chased after each other. In others, they killed the enemy directly and obtained the tokens.

Some groups of two or three, even when they joined forces, were still routed and fled like panicked rats, running around in all directions, and were eventually eliminated or killed.

The people of Tiancang Prefecture seem to be quite lucky.

Yan Fengwu, Yan Kuangtu, and Wen Renjie encounter each other and form an alliance.

Liu Yue, Cang Daoling, and Lei Chaojian acted together.

Shen Feiyu encountered Zhang Xuanzhi, the number one genius of the Xuan Yue Sect. Seeing that escape was impossible, he decisively abandoned his token, then crushed the jade tablet and forcibly held on until the three breaths were over before being teleported away.

Shangguan Hong encountered the Greedy Wolf Sect and was killed; his body was even teleported away.

Chen Tianlei was also eliminated, but with the help of the Taotie Shield, he managed to hold out against a prodigy from Cangshan Prefecture for three breaths before being teleported away.

The Greedy Wolf Sect: Xu Mingxian and his two companions killed four people, and five were eliminated by the geniuses of other sects. Only nine people remained in the secret realm, fewer than those of the Heavenly Azure Sect.

Soon after, Xi Tianqing encountered a special demonic cultivator from the Greedy Wolf Sect. He fought valiantly but was no match for him and was tricked. Even his escape talisman was interrupted by the cultivator.

At the critical moment, Cang Daoling, Liu Yue, and Lei Chaojian arrived.

The four of them worked together to escape.

The four were still shaken, so they acted together afterward.

Soon after, they encountered a team of six from Cangshan Prefecture. They eliminated three of them, and the rest fled. Meanwhile, Lei Chaojian was also seriously injured.

Given that he would encounter enemies from all sides more frequently in the future, Lei Chaojian had no choice but to crush the jade token and leave on his own initiative.

That's better than being abandoned later, where you might not even be able to save your life.

In just two days.

More than fifty people were eliminated and were sent out.

As for those who died in the secret realm, there were more than thirty people.

(End of this chapter)
