In the game "Covering the Sky," I can create nine kinds of immortal gold.

As if struck by lightning, or rather, as if pierced by a thousand bolts of lightning, Xiao Peng Wang was not only sent flying several miles away, but also lay on the ground for a long time without being able to get up, completely losing his fighting ability.

At this moment, the five old demons and the Queen Mother of the West all stood up, their faces showing shock.

Among them, the Queen Mother of the West turned to look at her disciple, and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi nodded slightly.

"This is a secret technique that the Primordial One comprehended on his own. I was also extremely shocked when I saw it."

"What? Self-enlightenment? Not the Western Emperor's Scripture of your Jade Pool?"

The Peacock King was shocked, as was the Crimson Dragon Daoist. Although they had never practiced the Emperor Scripture, they were very knowledgeable. Therefore, when the Emperor Scripture flashed across Zhang Taichu's forehead, they immediately realized what it meant!

King Peng sighed deeply and bowed slightly to the Queen Mother of the West.

"This time, I, the old man, was being petty. Please forgive me, Queen Mother of the West."

"King Peng, there's no need for this. This matter is far too important, and your actions are understandable. However, I hope that we can maintain a unified mindset when taking action in the future."

What could Lao Pengwang say? He could only agree.

The ancient battlefield had already opened, so Zhang Taichu naturally wouldn't go for the kill again. He simply said something to Xiaopeng Wang, who hadn't gotten up yet.

"When facing an opponent of the same level, never use secret techniques that you cannot control, as that will only expose your weaknesses. Just now, you had at least three fatal weaknesses, and I could have easily killed you."

After saying this, Zhang Taichu jumped off the ancient battlefield, leaving Little Peng King in a state of impotent rage.

Xiao Pengwang naturally had someone to take care of him, and Zhang Taichu, who had returned victorious, naturally became the leader of this operation.

"This time we're going to a country called Anping in Zhongzhou. There's a small town there called Huanglu."

"Anping Kingdom? Huanglu? I seem to have a vague recollection of it, but not a deep one."

The Red Dragon Taoist was the most experienced, while the other old demons had never heard of the landlord Huanglu, but they did have some impression of Anping Kingdom.

Zhang Taichu smiled.

"You might not recognize the name Huang Lu, but you should be familiar with Qi Shi Fu, right?"

"You're going to the Qishi Mansion? Is the Taihuang Scripture hidden inside the Qishi Mansion?"

The Azure Dragon King was greatly alarmed. He knew that the Qishi Mansion was not to be trifled with. Not to mention him, even if all thirteen bandits came out together, they would not dare to provoke the Qishi Mansion.

"No, no, no, the Taihuang Scripture and the legendary holy weapon are not in the Qishi Mansion. It's just that the entrance to that secret realm is near the Qishi Mansion, which is in the desolate city of Huanglu."

"Actually, there is more than one entrance to the secret realm, but the opening time is uncertain. According to my calculations, the secret realm will open soon. Once the news spreads, forces from the Eastern Wilderness, Central State, Southern Ridge, and other regions will enter, and we will be under great pressure."

"It just so happens that all the forces have been drawn to Purple Mountain recently. Let's take advantage of the time difference, enter the secret realm ahead of time, and seize all the benefits."

In the past few days, the secret of Zishan has spread, and some people have already gone to Zishan to investigate.

If it weren't for Zhang Taichu causing trouble, the Red Dragon Taoist would have gone to Zishan to take a look and, incidentally, discovered Zhang Wuye's village and bought the stone materials there.

Now that Zhang Taichu has changed the fate of the Crimson Dragon Daoist, it is unknown whether he can still become Ye Fan's protector.

Upon hearing that it was related to the Qishi Mansion, everyone's confidence in this operation increased considerably.

Without saying anything more, everyone used the domain gate of the Yaochi Holy Land to directly arrive in Zhongzhou!

This is much more reliable than the Black Emperor's teleportation. In the original story, Tu Fei was teleported to the Northern Plains by the Black Emperor while traveling to the Central Plains, and even fell into the Arctic Demon Eye.

Four thousand years passed before Tu Fei finally emerged, by which time Ye Fan had already wiped out the forbidden zone!

It could be said that Black Emperor harmed Tu Fei, but also saved him.

Otherwise, given Tu Fei's strength, he would likely have died in the pursuit of the Heavenly Emperor's son and the Assassin Dynasty, just like the other descendants of the Thirteen Great Bandits.

After arriving in Zhongzhou, the old demons used their connections and the domain gates of several sects in Zhongzhou to successfully reach Anping Kingdom and find the small town called Huanglu.

In the original story, Ye Fan used the alias Ye Zhetian and became the city lord of a small city that was adjacent to the Qishi Mansion.

During this period, Qishi Prefecture had not yet been established, so the small town was not disturbed by the arrogant princes of various states and remained very quiet.

After sneaking into the city, they made a few inquiries among the residents and found the locust grove.

"Based on the legends told by nearby villagers, this locust tree forest is extremely dangerous. Many cultivators have mysteriously disappeared there, and there are even rumors that they were devoured."

Yan Ruyu also came along. These past few days, she has often been with the Holy Maiden of Yaochi. Since the Holy Maiden of Yaochi is with Zhang Taichu, Yan Ruyu has also become very close to Zhang Taichu these past few days.

"I've heard similar things too. It's not just cultivators; several of the past city lords of this desolate place disappeared in the locust grove, and it's said they never reappeared after that!"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi turned to look at Zhang Taichu.

"Tai Chu, the entrance to the secret realm you mentioned, could it be that locust tree grove?"

At this moment, the five old demons, along with the Queen Mother of the West and other experts from Yaochi, also gathered around.

They also inquired about a lot of information and finally determined that the locust forest was their target for this trip.

Zhang Taichu nodded slightly.

"The locust grove is the place I was referring to, but the real entrance isn't in the grove itself, but rather under a locust tree. I'll need you all to spread out and keep watch from there. The opening time of the secret realm is not fixed, so someone needs to guard it."

"Once shouts and sounds of battle are heard coming from a tree, it means the secret realm has opened, and everyone can enter then."

The group looked at the locust grove; it wasn't very large, and with their spiritual power, they could easily cover the entire area.

The group then arranged their shifts, with each person responsible for a few hours, using their divine sense to scout ahead, and then changing shifts when the time came.

The rest of the people were free to do as they pleased; they could stay in the locust grove or go into the city to rest.

After discussing it with the Queen Mother of the West, the old demons decided that they, as second-level immortals, would keep watch so that they could handle any unexpected events.

The younger generation can act freely, lest they become inexperienced and unreliable.

There weren't many young people this time, since they were going to explore a secret realm, which was very dangerous.

Among them are Yan Ruyu, the Golden-Winged Roc King, the Green-Clad Little Flood Dragon King, plus the Holy Maiden of Yaochi and Zhang Taichu, making only these five people.

Xiao Peng Wang lost to Zhang Taichu before, so he ran away to find a place to practice hard, and it seemed like he wanted to avenge his defeat.

The troublemaker ran away, and the remaining few were all on good terms with each other.

"Brother Zhang, I heard you have a quasi-saint artifact. Take it out and let me see it. I've never seen a quasi-saint artifact in my life."

Zhang Taichu wasn't stingy either, and took out the Soul-Shocking Bell, which Little Flood Dragon King and Yan Ruyu came over to admire.

"Qingyi, you're being too modest. Your ancestor was one of the Thirteen Great Bandits. Would he not have a quasi-saint artifact? He probably even has a real saint weapon, right? I've heard that your family has a treasure trove, which even contains the corpse of an ancient saint."

The Little Flood Dragon King looked at the Soul-Shocking Bell as he spoke.

"There is a treasure vault, and there is also the corpse of the Ancient Sacred Body, but can I take the things inside? Besides, a Sacred Weapon can be used as a sect's most treasured possession. Although my ancestor has a rich family fortune, he does not have such a sect's most treasured possession."

Zhang Taichu really wanted to say that the corpse of that Ancient Sacred Body was far more powerful than ordinary Sacred Weapons, but when he thought that only Ye Fan could use it as a Gundam and that no one else could use it, he gave up on the idea.

"Then you're in for a treat, because there are several sacred weapons in the upcoming secret realm. If you're lucky, you might actually get one to suppress your luck."
