A daily divination, from family tortoise shells to immortal clans.

If you could only read one fantasy novel in your life, it would probably be "A Daily Divination: From Family Tortoise Shells to the Immortal Clan".

Ye Tianjun, who had entered first, was standing not far ahead, looking around at the surroundings.

At this moment, his face was filled with a look of surprise, clearly not expecting that there was a hidden world behind the crack.

Noticing that Chen Qingmo had appeared behind him, Ye Tianjun turned around and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Chen, it seems we have entered some kind of secret realm, and this may be the place I am looking for. I have indeed troubled you this time, as the situation in such an unfamiliar secret realm is unknown."

"Since we don't know how to leave now, Fellow Daoist Chen, how about you accompany me to explore? Once we find the exit, whether you stay or leave, I will have no objection."

As he spoke, Ye Tianjun revealed a hint of apology.

Chen Qingmo waved his hand: "Fellow Daoist Ye, there's no need to worry. Entering such an unfamiliar secret realm may not be a bad thing. Although we are temporarily trapped here, we might be able to find some opportunities here."

He chuckled softly, not paying much attention.

The main reason for this is that the sixty-four hexagrams in the sea of ​​consciousness have changed.

[Hexagram 64, number 51: Zhen (Thunder)]

Remaining calm and composed in the face of change, acting cautiously, and keeping a cool head can help one avoid disaster and misfortune.

At this moment, Chen Qingmo has encountered the change of accidentally entering a secret realm. According to the divination, if he and Ye Tianjun hurriedly search for a way out, they may bring disaster upon themselves.

By proceeding step by step and acting cautiously, one can avoid any major incidents.

Chen Qingmo believed that there must be a reason for the appearance of the hexagram.

"Fortunately, our cultivation and spiritual sense are still intact, unlike the Ghost Immortal Abyss which still suppresses us." Ye Tianjun smiled as well, feeling fortunate.

This unfamiliar secret realm is basically no different from the outside world. If there is any difference, it is that the concentration of spiritual energy is much higher.

It is already comparable to the fourth-order spiritual vein occupied by a Nascent Soul sect.

If he were to cultivate here for an extended period, Chen Qingmo felt that his cultivation level would improve much faster than before.

After all, the spiritual veins under Mount Taixuan are still at the second tier, and the Chen family's current resources are not enough to upgrade them to the third tier.

This secret realm, the very place where he and Ye Tianjun entered, already possessed such rich spiritual energy, demonstrating its extraordinary nature.

The two separated and explored the surrounding area within a ten-mile radius for a while, but found nothing strange.

The map of Huangzhong Gorge was no longer useful here. After they met up, they sped off in one direction.

As they ventured deeper, the two discovered some living creatures.

First came the demonic beasts, and then some creatures resembling spirits appeared.

Since none of these creatures showed any hostility, Chen Qingmo and Ye Tianjun didn't pay much attention to them, and left after sensing them briefly.

About an incense stick later, they encountered a humanoid creature. They were at the Foundation Establishment stage, and their bodies varied, mostly being earthy yellow and jet black, covered with scale-like earth and stones.

It was chattering away, speaking in some incomprehensible language.

Judging from their facial expressions and mental fluctuations, the two were able to roughly guess some of the meaning.

Just as they were about to approach, several powerful humanoid creatures suddenly rushed out from the side.

These creatures are physically closer to humans, but they are slender and long, with many mineral dust particles floating on their translucent bodies, which are as colorful as glass under the sunlight.

Their cultivation levels were all at the late Golden Core stage and the perfect Golden Core stage, making them much stronger than Ye Tianjun and Chen Qingmo.

The next moment, these creatures attacked in horror, surrounding the two of them.

"The Earth Spirit Clan! It really is the Earth Spirit Clan! I've finally found them! Hahaha!" Ye Tianjun's eyes showed no fear of being surrounded, but instead revealed a happy smile.

He then said solemnly to Chen Qingmo, "Fellow Daoist Chen, do not resist, or the earth spirit will truly kill you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingmo withdrew the surging true energy within him, but he did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he quietly watched the earth spirit to prevent it from launching a sudden attack.

Since Ye Tianjun recognizes this kind of creature, he must know a lot about it.

Even he, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, didn't make a move, so Chen Qingmo, an early-stage Golden Core cultivator, naturally couldn't possibly act alone.

He secretly transmitted his voice: "Fellow Daoist Ye, what's going on? What kind of being is an Earth Spirit?"

Chen Qingmo was hearing about this creature for the first time and was very puzzled.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, this is a long story, but as long as we don't make a move, they won't do anything to us," Ye Tianjun said first. He was about to explain when he heard the leading earth spirit speak.

"Humans, where did you enter the Earth Spirit Realm from? What do you want here?" The leader of the Earth Spirits asked in a cold tone, but he only inquired and did not launch an attack.

"Fellow Daoist Di Ling, my name is Ye Tianjun, and this gentleman beside me is Chen Qingmo. May I ask your names?" Ye Tianjun asked politely.

He did not show any shock at the fact that the earth spirit spoke the human language, but Chen Qingmo, who was standing to the side, was already in a state of shock.

It's not surprising that the Golden Core barbarians and witches from the outside world, or the third-tier and above demonic beasts, could speak the human language.

After all, there are many humans, and books for learning languages ​​are not a secret; they are readily available to these races.

However, the Earth Spirit Clan lives within a secret realm where no other human beings reside.

Without communicating with the outside world, they can speak the human language, which means that human cultivators once came to the Earth Spirit Secret Realm and left behind the human language.

Could Ye Tianjun be a descendant of someone from that era, searching for this place?

With a multitude of thoughts swirling in his mind, Chen Qingmo was momentarily unable to sort them out.

"My name is Qiu Lei, and I am an elder of the Earth Spirit Clan." After saying this, Qiu Lei introduced the other Earth Spirits one by one.

These earth spirits are all elders within their clans, yet they are guarding the Foundation Establishment stage earth spirits beside them, which shows that the Foundation Establishment stage earth spirits are definitely of great importance.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Qiu. Fellow Daoist Chen and I walked to the bottom of Ghost Immortal Abyss in Huangzhong Gorge and saw a strange cliff peak. We wanted to explore it, but we never expected to end up in the Earth Spirit Secret Realm."

Ye Tianjun cupped his hands in a polite gesture.

After hearing this, Qiu Lei exchanged glances with the people beside him, seemingly communicating in secret.

Ye Tianjun and Chen Qingmo were not in a hurry, and just waited quietly.

After a long silence, Qiu Lei finally spoke, "Human cultivators, I cannot directly believe what you say. If you are willing to prove yourselves, then come back to the Earth Spirit Clan with us."

His eyes still held a look of distrust; they dared not lower their guard in the slightest towards these two humans who had suddenly appeared.

The Foundation Establishment stage Earth Spirits beside them are the young masters of their respective clans, and cannot afford to make any mistakes.

If Chen Qingmo and Ye Tianjun have other ideas, they cannot guarantee that they can protect the young masters.

"Very well, I am willing to go with you to your clan!" Ye Tianjun readily agreed, then looked at Chen Qingmo: "What does Fellow Daoist Chen think?"

"Since Fellow Daoist Ye has already gone, how could I, Chen, refuse?" Chen Qingmo replied calmly.

At least until now, things are under Ye Tianjun's control.

Neither of them was harmed; they were merely temporarily restricted in their freedom.

After speaking, Qiu Lei said a few words in his native language to the Foundation Establishment stage Earth Spirits and then had two Golden Core stage Earth Spirits escort them away.

He then surrounded Chen Qingmo and Ye Tianjun with the remaining Golden Core Earth Spirits, leading them to their clan.

About an hour later, a cluster of buildings came into Chen Qingmo's view.

In terms of refinement, the architecture of the Earth Spirit Clan is in no way inferior to that of the major sects in the Qi Kingdom, and may even be more luxurious.

This luxury does not refer to how magnificent the exterior is, but rather that a considerable portion of the materials used to construct the palaces and pavilions are second- or even third-tier spiritual materials.

After careful observation, Chen Qingmo even discovered some fourth-order spiritual materials.

If fourth-tier spiritual materials were placed in the outside world, they would be enough to trigger a fierce competition among Nascent Soul cultivators.

But here, it is used merely as part of the palace.

Ye Tianjun naturally noticed this as well, and he couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist Qiu, don't you know the value of these spiritual materials? Why are you using them to build houses?"

Even with Ye Tianjun's knowledge, he was shocked by this wasteful act.

You should know that he and Chen Qingmo had calculated the exact amount of the treasures hidden in Huangzhong Gorge.

"I know, it's a fourth-tier spiritual material," Qiu Lei replied casually, not caring at all.

"These are extremely valuable treasures to you, but for our Earth Spirit Clan, it is enough to place these things in the pavilion so that our young masters can cultivate more comfortably."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingmo and Ye Tianjun both fell silent.

"Could it be that all the prodigies in great clans receive this kind of treatment?" Chen Qingmo wondered to himself.

He had never met a Nascent Soul family and did not know how they cultivated their next generation of prodigies.

However, if everyone were like the Earth Spirit Clan, then the gap between cultivators would have to be acknowledged.

Ye Tianjun, a prodigy from a Nascent Soul family, had never received such treatment before.

Although his family is extremely protective of its own, they are also very strict with their descendants.

Although acquiring resources is not that difficult, few protectors accompany them when they go out to explore.

Only those with one in ten thousand Heavenly Spiritual Roots or rare mutated Spiritual Roots receive this treatment.

As a dual-spiritual-root cultivator within his family, Ye Tianjun always explored secret realms or treasure lands alone.

He was like this decades ago when he was in the Foundation Establishment stage, and he is still like this decades later when he is in the Golden Core stage.

Although he had some complaints, he had to admit that it was precisely this method of the Ye family that had cultivated many powerful descendants, and Ye Tianjun was one of the best among them.

Therefore, when he saw how well the Earth Spirit Clan treated their juniors, he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

It should be understood that placing fourth-tier spiritual materials on a pavilion will not only affect the pavilion itself, but also the surrounding area.

Judging from the figures coming and going, most of them were Earth Spirits in the Foundation Establishment or even Qi Refining stages.

Seeing that the two had stopped talking, Qiu Lei didn't pay any attention and continued to lead them toward the largest of the halls.

Before they even entered the door, Chen Qingmo and Ye Tianjun saw that the two Earth Spirits guarding the door were both Golden Core cultivators.

Undoubtedly, this is the core territory of the Earth Spirit race.

Silently following Qiu Lei into the hall, the two saw several tall figures sitting on stone chairs.

Each of the figures possessed the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage, and one of them even had a profound aura that far surpassed the others.

"Qiu Lei, what brings you here?" A deep, booming voice came from the figure in the center.

"Your Majesty, these two humans have entered the Earth Spirit Secret Realm. I have brought them here specifically for your disposal," Qiu Lei replied respectfully, then looked at the two men:

"Human, this is the king of my Earth Spirit race. Why don't you pay your respects?"

The King of the Earth Spirit Clan!

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianjun's expression clearly became excited, and he then pulled Chen Qingmo, who was standing next to him, to bow in salute.

"Greetings, Senior Earth Spirit King. My name is Ye Tianjun."

"...My name is Chen Qingmo."

The two introduced themselves one after the other.

"Ye Tianjun? The same surname as that person from back then, and they even bear a resemblance. Could you be his descendant?"

The Earth Spirit King pondered for a moment, recalling some things.

"I am a descendant of the Ye family. Our family has records of the Earth Spirit Secret Realm. Our ancestor once said that a unique race lives in Huangzhong Gorge and possesses the strongest power in this world."

Ye Tianjun then recounted some of the things he knew.

Upon hearing this, the Earth Spirit King chuckled softly: "Heh! The strongest in this realm? Your ancestor certainly doesn't hold back his praise."

His voice carried a complex emotion, as if he had no particular feeling about being the strongest.

The Earth Spirit Clan has long lived in the Earth Spirit Secret Realm. It is true that the Earth Spirit King is the strongest being in this place, but he cannot go out and does not have a concrete understanding of whether he is the strongest in this realm.

As a member of a Nascent Soul family, Ye Tianjun had some understanding of the situation in the Nine Rivers Continent.

The aura emanating from this Earth Spirit King was far stronger than that of his own family's ancestor.

It was even stronger than some of the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators he had ever seen.

"Descendant of the Ye family, what brings you to my Earth Spirit Secret Realm?" The Earth Spirit King looked at Ye Tianjun and asked slowly.

He ignored Chen Qingmo.

This human has no relation to his Earth Spirit Clan. If he weren't a friend of Ye Tianjun, he would have driven him away long ago.

"Senior Earth Spirit King, I am searching for the Earth Spirit Secret Realm for my younger sister. I wish to request a bottle of the Earth Spirit Clan's sacred spring water, and I hope you can grant my request," Ye Tianjun said in a low voice, his words earnest.

Chen Qingmo glanced at it in surprise.

He originally thought that Ye Tianjun sought out this secret realm to find treasures to improve his cultivation or to obtain some kind of inheritance.

It's quite unexpected that it was for his younger sister.

But this also explains why Ye Tianjun stepped into the abyss without hesitation when he saw the crack at the bottom.

Chen Qingmo slightly raised his eyes and looked at the figure on the stone chair.

The light in the hall grew dimmer, making the already obscured face of the Earth Spirit King appear even more somber.

The surrounding Nascent Soul stage earth spirits remained silent, gazing at the somewhat insignificant Ye Tianjun.
