Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

Chapter 120 Seven Sect Nascent Soul Ancestors

The total number of cultivators who entered the Xuan Yang Secret Realm this time was over 370.

Only about 220 people have survived so far, which means the death rate in the secret realm is close to 40%.

Of the cultivators who were not from the seven major sects, more than two hundred originally entered the secret realm, but now only more than one hundred and twenty have come out alive.

These 120-plus people were not disciples of the seven major sects of Zhou Kingdom; most of them came from cultivation families and small sects, as well as independent cultivators like Jiang Yun.

These people were able to enter the secret realm only because the Qingyang Sect granted them the qualification.

Therefore, those who survive the secret realm must hand over 30% of the treasures they obtained to the Qingyang Sect.

An elder from the Qingyang Sect, who had just reached the Core Formation stage, flew down to stand before Jiang Yun and the other cultivators.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, twenty-seven battle flags flew into the air.

Afterwards, these array flags flew in all directions and eventually landed on the ground, surrounding Jiang Yun and more than 120 other cultivators.

An unknown formation was formed in an instant.

Jiang Yun frowned, becoming wary.

The other cultivators were also confused, thinking that the Qingyang Sect was going to kill people and plunder their treasures, so they became restless and some hurriedly flew out of the formation.

However, the Core Formation cultivator from the Qingyang Sect casually waved his hand, sending those cultivators who were trying to escape the array's range back to their original positions.

"I am the Daoist Master Kumu of the Qingyang Sect. Please calm down."

"This formation has no offensive capabilities; it is only used to detect treasures brought out from the secret realm."

"You may open your storage bags and stand within the array's range."

Upon seeing this, the withered wood immortal began to explain loudly.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and took out their storage bags, opening them one by one.

As the storage bags were opened one by one, the formation began to activate.

After the formation was activated, the treasures brought out from the secret realm seemed to be drawn by some force, rushing out of the storage bags and hovering above everyone's heads.

"There's actually such a formation."

Jiang Yun felt a chill run down her spine.

Fortunately, all of Sun An and the other three left their storage bags in the secret realm.

Otherwise, a similar formation could be used to probe for the treasures of Sun An and his group.

Without a doubt, Sun An and the others' treasures will emerge from Jiang Yun's storage bag.

At that time, the seven major sects will know that he killed Sun An and the other three.

After calming down, Jiang Yun also opened the storage bag.

Soon, the three thousand-year-old medicinal herbs flew out of the storage bag and hovered above his head.

Master Kumu swept his divine sense across the area and revealed a strange smile.

Judging from his appearance, he was quite satisfied with the treasures these people had brought out from the secret realm.

"Those who wish to exchange treasures from the secret realm for Foundation Establishment Pills, stand to my left and follow me to the Qingyang Sect later."

"Those who do not exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills, stand still within the formation."

"The withered tree master said with a smile."

As he finished speaking, more than 120 cultivators, of whom more than 80 wanted to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills.

They all left the formation and went to wait to the left of the withered wood immortal.

Although I don't know if the treasure I have can be exchanged for a Foundation Establishment Pill, I still have to give it a try.

Without a doubt, the Foundation Establishment cultivators from these cultivation families and minor sects are willing to venture into the secret realm for the sake of a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Back then, the three great families of Qixia Lake joined forces to venture into the secret realm, also in pursuit of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Later, Jiang Shun, the patriarch of the Jiang family, exchanged a Foundation Establishment Pill with a treasure from the secret realm at the Qingyang Sect.

The Foundation Establishment Pill was ultimately given to Jiang Ruoshui, allowing the family to produce a new Foundation Establishment cultivator and preventing the family from declining.

However, after Jiang Ruoshui, several hundred years passed, and the Jiang family of Qixia Lake eventually declined.

"For these Foundation Establishment cultivation families, Foundation Establishment Pills are more important than their lives."

Jiang Yun couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, the withered wood immortal flew into the formation and landed in front of Jiang Yun.

"Three thousand-year-old medicinal herbs, not bad, not bad."

Master Kumu looked at the three medicinal herbs floating above Jiang Yun's head and said with a smile.

"Greetings, Senior Kumu."

Jiang Yun had already used the Concealing Breath Technique to reveal his cultivation level as late-stage Foundation Establishment.

At this moment, in the eyes of Master Kumu, he was only at the late Foundation Establishment stage, not a Core Formation cultivator.

Therefore, Jiang Yun addressed him as "senior" in a very low-key manner.

"Of the three thousand-year-old medicinal herbs, only one needs to be handed over to the Qingyang Sect."

As the withered wood immortal spoke, he reached out and beckoned, and a thousand-year-old medicinal herb was taken away by him.

After that, he ignored Jiang Yun and went to collect treasures from other cultivators.

Jiang Yun also reached out and put the remaining two thousand-year-old medicinal herbs into his storage bag.

This thousand-year-old herb has great uses, especially in alchemy.

Many ancient prescriptions require the addition of thousand-year-old herbs to refine the elixir.

After accepting the two medicinal herbs, Jiang Yun waited patiently.

Once Master Kumu finishes his work, he should be able to leave this place.

After a short while, Master Kumu finished collecting the treasures, then removed the formation and said, "You may leave now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the forty-odd cultivators, including Jiang Yun, flew out of the canyon and then flew away from the Xuan Yang Mountains in all directions.

Those cultivators who wanted to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills boarded the Qingyang Sect's flying treasure ship, preparing to head to the Qingyang Sect.

The disciples of the seven major sects also boarded their respective sects' flying boats.

Then the Core Formation cultivators from the seven sects bid each other farewell and headed towards their respective sects.

The once bustling entrance to the Xuan Yang Secret Realm suddenly fell silent.

A moment later, a figure appeared out of thin air at the entrance to the secret realm.

The man stared intently at the entrance to the secret realm, his eyes burning, and muttered to himself.

"The Xuan Yang Thunderfire, after so many years of planning, must be refined and made for my own use."

The man muttered something, and then his figure vanished.

A moment later, another figure appeared out of thin air.

"Hehe, Qingyangzi, this humble Daoist is also determined to obtain this Xuanyang Thunderfire!"

The man muttered something to himself, and mysterious array patterns appeared beneath his feet before disappearing.

I don't know how much time passed, but a withered leaf in the canyon was blown up by the wind.

Then, the withered leaf miraculously transformed into a living person.

"Qingyangzi, Yuxuanzi, how can I simply hand over such an opportunity as the Xuanyang Thunderfire to someone else?"

The man sneered, and his figure transformed into a leaf, soaring straight into the sky.

After he left, another figure appeared in the same spot.

In just one day, seven mysterious people appeared here.

Their target is Xuan Yang Thunderfire.

Meanwhile, after Jiang Yun left the canyon where the secret realm was located...

To avoid unnecessary trouble, he immediately used the Concealing Breath Technique to its fullest extent, concealing all his aura, and then used the Concealment Technique to leave the Xuan Yang Mountains unnoticed.

"The Golden Core is complete. Next, we need to prepare for the Core Shattering and select and refine our natal magic weapon."

"It's a pity that we can only watch helplessly as such a great opportunity as the Xuan Yang Thunderfire is presented to us."

After Jiang Yun left the Xuan Yang Mountains, he revealed himself and fled towards Qing Yang Fang.

Although we didn't obtain the Xuan Yang Thunderfire, this trip to the secret realm was still very successful.

He not only obtained a third-tier demon core and two spiritual items for Core Formation, but also broke through to the Golden Core stage.

He also used the flesh and blood of the dragon to cultivate the Golden Bone Refining Technique to the fourth level, making his physical body comparable to a third-grade low-level magic weapon.

In addition, they used the dragon scales and bones of the dragon to temper the thirty-six flying swords to the second-tier top-grade level.

Jiang Yun is probably the biggest winner of this trip to the secret realm.
