Where is the righteous fairy we were promised?

The prodigies of the five great immortal sects can still use secret techniques to take foundation-building elixirs and thus establish their foundations on their own, making their path to immortality even more promising.

Besides the five major immortal sects having secret methods that allow their prodigies to establish their foundations on their own using foundation-building elixirs, there are also other sects that have inherited these methods.

Other sects and forces have very few cultivators who have established their foundations on their own.

The only way to seek the opportunity to build a foundation for immortality is through traditional foundation-building methods.

This is the most fundamental difference between the five major immortal sects and other sects and forces.

Moreover, the spiritual energy within the Jadeite Secret Realm is extremely rich, more than enough to support a Qi cultivator in establishing their foundation.

Aside from the cultivation level restriction that only Qi Refining stage cultivators can enter this place.

This emerald secret realm can be considered one of the few foundation-building treasure lands in the entire Southern Wilderness.

However, this foundation-building site also has a special feature.

That means the duration of the secret realm is fixed.

Furthermore, if a Qi cultivator establishes their foundation inside, they will not be expelled.

They can only leave the Jade Realm after the one-year period ends.

There are also many sordid affairs and disputes among the five major immortal sects.

One hundred and twenty prodigies entered the Emerald Secret Realm together, all with the same goal.

—Search for high-quality foundation-building elixirs to establish your foundation as soon as possible.

This inevitably leads to huge conflicts among the geniuses of the various immortal sects over the limited number of Foundation Establishment Elixirs.

Many talented individuals from various sects who already harbor grudges will take this opportunity to settle their personal scores.

Even before the prodigies entered the Emerald Secret Realm, the elders of each immortal sect would "hint" at them.

—If you can establish your foundation early, immediately seek an opportunity to kill the prodigies of other immortal sects!

After all, once you successfully establish your foundation in the Emerald Realm, you won't be expelled.

Being a major realm ahead in combat naturally gives you a huge advantage.

As a result, the competition for the secret realm expedition, which takes place every sixty years, is actually extremely fierce.

One or even several major battles could result in the survival of only one in ten of the immortal geniuses who entered the Emerald Secret Realm.

However, in contrast, after the changes in the Jadeite Secret Realm...

Those surviving geniuses from various immortal sects will also make great progress in their character!

In the subsequent public competition, they will most likely become the seeds of immortality for various immortal sects (immortal path seeds).

Therefore, the major immortal sects were actually mentally prepared for the brutality of each Jadeite Secret Realm raid.

It all comes down to which family produces more outstanding talents in the end; that family will have more face to save.

As for those prodigies who died in the secret realm...

If you die, you will die.

After all, a fallen genius is no longer a genius!

However, in the early stages of each secret realm expedition, there are generally not many battles.

This is mainly because it is difficult for the geniuses of the immortal sects to run into other people at the very beginning.

After all, compared to the vast Emerald Mountains, the Emerald Secret Realm does seem rather small.

However, for the 120 prodigies of the five great immortal sects...

Their teleportation into the Emerald Realm was like a drop of water entering the ocean.

Apart from the teammates who entered together, they could not find any fellow disciples.

The others didn't even sense the sect token.

They are quite far apart from each other.

Therefore, this stable pattern of "peace in the early stages and fierce battles in the later stages" is not suitable for the other two people who shouldn't be here in the first place...

That would be excellent news!

……

In a secluded forest.

Jiang Ning and Lin Wanqing cautiously looked around.

All around them were towering ancient trees, verdant and silent.

The ancient trees all around exude an ancient aura.

It inspires awe in people when they look around at their surroundings.

As dusk falls and the twilight descends, the dim, golden light filters through the gaps in the leaves, casting a soft halo.

At this moment, the Jade Secret Realm was peaceful and quiet.

There wasn't even the roar of a wild beast.

Jiang Ning and Lin Wanqing felt that the surrounding environment was extremely quiet.

It was as silent as if it were dead.

"It seems we've landed in a good place."

Jiang Ning spread his divine sense and carefully checked the surroundings before finally letting out a slight sigh of relief and smiling.

Are you sure this is a good place?

Lin Wanqing pointed to the bushes opposite her and silently moved closer to Jiang Ning.

"Why do I feel like this place isn't really suitable for staying?"

Jiang Ning turned his head and saw some poisonous insects that posed a threat to Qi Refining stage cultivators crawling on the grass and ancient trees.

A stark white light shone from those dark compound eyes.

A small amount of venom dripped from its mouthparts, sprinkling onto the grass with a sizzling sound.

It seemed as if they were preparing to deal with these two uninvited guests.

Jiang Ning waved his hand expressionlessly, unleashing several blazing and violent fireballs.

Then a series of crackling sounds were heard.

The poisonous insects were instantly burned to ashes by the intensely hot flames.

Even the venom it spat out before dying was scorched into black fumes.

Jiang Ning waved his sleeve, creating a gentle breeze, and cleaned up the mess. He then said to Lin Wanqing with a serious expression:

"This is a good place now."

Lin Wanqing: "..."

Appropriate jokes and laughter can effectively relieve stress.

After Jiang Ning's actions, Lin Wanqing's initial nervousness upon entering unfamiliar territory eased considerably.

"I've heard that the Emerald Realm is rich in various spiritual herbs, among which the Foundation Establishment herbs are the most precious."

Lin Wanqing used her divine sense to survey her surroundings as she spoke:

"Should we go looking for Foundation Establishment Elixir next?"

"Ah."

Jiang Ning sneered and looked at Lin Wanqing with disdain.

"I am a genius of unparalleled talent!"

All that's missing is a suitable foundation site to build an immortal foundation!

Why bother competing with those prodigies from the immortal sects for Foundation Establishment elixirs?

"Jiang Ning, you really are..."

Lin Wanqing slapped Jiang Ning, somewhat annoyed.

Who was she searching for the Foundation Establishment Spirit for?

It's all for his own good!

After all, she has a water-based celestial spiritual root, so even without foundation-building elixirs, she can still establish her foundation on her own.

Moreover, she also received a top-grade breakthrough pill as a reward from the system.

With the two factors combined, the difficulty for Lin Wanqing to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage can be said to have been reduced to the extreme.

Jiang Ning only has a top-grade spiritual root of the three elements, yet he still claims he wants to establish his foundation on his own?

Where does this man get his confidence?

"Humph!"

Lin Wanqing gave a soft snort.

Then he turned his head away, refusing to look at Jiang Ning's arrogant expression.

Anyway, once she reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, she can take Jiang Ning to find Foundation Establishment Elixir.

As for Jiang Ning's claim of building his own foundation...

Lin Wanqing estimated that it wouldn't be long before he would realize that his talent was not outstanding.

When the time comes, we'll still need her to take action.

Just imagining Jiang Ning looking at her pitifully, begging her to help him find the Foundation Establishment Elixir...

Lin Wanqing couldn't help but smile, a sly smile playing on her lips.

"How should I make him beg me then?"

Overwhelmed with excitement, Lin Wanqing couldn't help but chuckle softly with anticipation.

“Hey, hey, hey…”

Jiang Ning, standing to the side, looked at her with disdain.
