Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

Shi Shangxu turned his head and whispered, "Ningning, when we enter the secret realm, stay close to me."

Yu Luoning smiled and said in a clear voice, "Okay, cousin."

At this moment, Lu Feishuang walked over.

Lu Mingyu was beside her.

Lu Feishuang got straight to the point: "Luo Ning, Brother Shi, you've all seen the three tasks the sect issued. They not only offer 10 contribution points, but also three inner sect slots."

"How about we collaborate? Miss Luo Ning needs one too, and I'm short two spots. Of course, I know you two are stronger, so I only need two spots; the remaining 20 contribution points are all yours. What do you say?"

Shi Shangxu and Yu Luoning exchanged a glance, both of their eyes showing some interest, and immediately nodded in agreement: "That's very good."

Just then, Yu Luoning subconsciously looked around, but did not see Mo Fei's figure.

She asked Lu Feishuang with some surprise, "Where did Mo Fei go? He was just here a moment ago."

Lu Feishuang sighed helplessly and pointed to the outermost edge of the crowd.

The group looked in the direction she pointed and discovered that Mo Yuntian had arrived at some point.

This old man, who was the undisputed head of the household, rushed over from afar as soon as he heard the news that the secret realm had been opened as an exception, just to cheer on his beloved grandson.

Mo Yuntian not only emptied most of his savings to buy precious ticket slots for his grandson, but also, feeling uneasy, stuffed all his most treasured possessions into Mo Fei's hands.

"My dear grandson, you must protect yourself once you enter the secret realm. Losing the treasures doesn't matter; your life is the most important thing, do you hear me?"

"Grandpa can't come in this time. If you really encounter danger, Grandpa won't be able to help. You must rein in your spoiled brat attitude once you're inside."

The commotion drew the attention of many cultivators nearby, who all turned to look.

Mo Fei blushed under their gaze and became incredibly awkward.

He snatched the magic weapon from the old man's hand, tossed it haphazardly into his storage bag, and impatiently yelled, "Ugh, I know, Grandpa! You've been nagging me about this for ages, my ears are practically calloused! You're so long-winded!"

Watching this scene from the corner, Yu Luoning found it amusing, yet a faint sense of emotion welled up within her.

Such unreserved and selfless kinship is extremely rare in the world of cultivation, where murder, treasure hunting, and treachery abound.

Having spotted his elder, Shi Shangxu immediately stepped forward and greeted him, "Senior Mo."

Mo Yuntian turned around, looked at the handsome and dignified young man in front of him, and nodded with a smile full of admiration.

Then, he looked at Lu Feishuang who had followed him and said with a smile, "Little Shuang, I've spoiled my grandson a lot. He's caused you a lot of trouble along the way. You'll have to be more tolerant of him once we're in the secret realm."

A hint of unease flashed across Lu Feishuang's face.

After all, Mo Fei was nominally her relative, and the Mo family had given the Lu family a lot of benefits for this spot.

Lu Feishuang quickly cupped her hands in greeting: "Senior Mo, you are too kind. Since Mo Fei is traveling with me, I will do my best to help in any way I can."

Mo Yuntian sighed, his eyes filled with reluctant worry: "I only have this one grandson. This secret realm is dangerous, so I entrust him to you young friends to take good care of him for me."

After saying that, Mo Yuntian took out several high-level talismans from his pocket and stuffed them into the hands of Shi Shangxu, Yu Luoning, and the others without saying a word.

The old man's meaning was clear: he wanted them to take good care of Mo Fei.

Looking at the high-grade spirit talisman in their hands, which was priceless, Yu Luoning and the others were all somewhat flattered.

Meanwhile, Mo Fei, who was being stared at by several pairs of eyes, had his cheeks burning red.

"Grandpa, you're so long-winded! Why are you rushing around at your age? Everyone's watching, it's so embarrassing."

Mo Fei urged Mo Yuntian to leave, stiffening his neck.

Mo Yuntian wasn't annoyed at all. He chuckled and took one last look at his beloved grandson before leaving the square.

At that moment, a muffled sound came from the sky, and a huge flying ship covered the sky above.

"Please board the ship, everyone."

At the order of the elder in charge, thousands of prodigies did not delay any longer and transformed into streaks of light, flying onto the flying boat.

Shi Shangxu, Yu Luoning, Lu Feishuang, Lu Mingyu, and Mo Fei quickly gathered and occupied a corner of the flying boat.

With a roar, the flying boat vanished into thin air, speeding towards the Hongmeng Secret Realm.

Along the way, the wind howled fiercely, and the sea of ​​clouds was torn open, creating a long ravine.

In just half a day, the flying boat had already crossed the void barrier and arrived above the secret realm.

Several elders and deacons were at the entrance to the secret realm.

"We have arrived at the secret realm. Please disembark and enter the secret realm."

In an instant.

The cultivators on the flying boat leaped off.

Yu Luoning followed Shi Shangxu and Lu Feishuang and others.

They steadied themselves in mid-air and plummeted downwards towards the secret realm.

For some reason, Yu Luoning felt a gaze locked onto her, a gaze that carried no murderous intent, but rather a humiliating and scrutinizing look.

Yu Luoning's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively turned around.

Through the thin mist, she saw two figures standing prominently on the deck of the airship.

The man, dressed in a moon-white gauze robe, leaned against the ship's railing, his signature white veil fluttering in the wind.

Even across a hundred feet of void, Yu Luoning could sense Bai Rongling's pitch-black eyes beneath the veil.

Beside him was Shenshui Shupeng.

Shenshui Shupeng raised his arm high, holding a fan in his palm, and waved it at her with a half-smile.

Yu Luoning's lips twitched involuntarily; these two had indeed come after all.

I just hope I don't encounter them in the secret realm.

On the other side, Bai Rongling watched as the slender figure completely disappeared into the sea mist, never to be seen again.

He gave a soft hum.

The chilling aura emanating from him seemed to freeze the surrounding clouds.

Shenshui Shupeng leaned closer, fanning himself with a folding fan, and teased in a low voice, "Ninth Young Master, the girl's already far away. Why are you still staring? What exactly did you see in that young girl's mind that day that made you so angry?"

Bai Rongling glanced at him: "Don't ask about things you shouldn't know."

Shenshui Shupeng put away his playful smile. "Everyone else has gone down; it's time for us to get going."

Bai Rongling nodded expressionlessly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a ripple appeared in the void.

The next moment, the two figures vanished into thin air, leaving no trace of spiritual energy fluctuations.

At this moment, many low-level cultivators who were secretly observing the situation on the deck of the flying boat happened to catch this scene.

After a brief silence, gasps of surprise erupted from the crowd.

"Holy crap! Where did those two people who were just standing there go? How did they just vanish into thin air?"

"Holy crap, I didn't even blink, I didn't even catch a glimpse of their afterimage. Is this a spatial array? Just how terrifying is their cultivation level?"

These young talents from the outer sects, who had originally harbored a侥幸 mentality and attempted to kill and plunder treasures in the secret realm, gasped in shock, a chill running down their spines.

Dongbao Shangzong truly lives up to its name; its strength is terrifying!
