I died young at the start, but I'm reincarnated with unlimited skill points!
Chapter 51 Making a fortune in silence
Deep within the Great Wilderness Secret Realm, in the core main hall.
This ancient palace, which has been silent for thousands of years, is now shrouded in a suffocating atmosphere of blood and death.
Unlike the abandoned side halls and medicine gardens on the outskirts, every bluestone brick and every jade pillar with a coiled dragon here is engraved with extremely complex and deadly ancient restrictions.
In the center of the main hall, dozens of mangled corpses lay scattered about.
Any one of these corpses could be a renowned Foundation Establishment stage prodigy, famous throughout the region.
But here, they didn't even have the chance to touch the opportunity before being torn to pieces by the extremely abnormal assessment formation in the main hall.
The tests conducted by ancient powerful beings were extremely rigorous.
Not only does it require an extremely terrifying level of comprehension to deduce the life gate of the formation in real time, but it also requires the absolute strength to protect oneself at the moment the formation unleashes its killing calamity.
At this moment, only a handful of people remain who have managed to endure this killing formation and get infinitely closer to the inheritance altar at the deepest part of the main hall.
Chu Tiankuo and Lin Wan'er of the Cangxuan Sect.
One of the Six Lineages of Demonic Path, the Holy Son of the Blood Shadow Sect.
And two heirs from reclusive families with profound heritage.
These five individuals are all at the absolute peak of either the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment or the Earthly Dao Foundation Establishment stage, and they possess countless hidden cards.
"boom!"
Chu Tiankuo held a top-grade magic weapon longsword that exuded a majestic heavenly power, and with one strike, he shattered a golden bolt of lightning that descended from the formation.
His Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment True Essence was incredibly profound, and his sword intent resonated subtly with the laws of this world.
Even so, his blue Taoist robe was already stained with blood, and his breathing was slightly rapid.
On the other side, Lin Wan'er was surrounded by a layer of ice-blue water curtain.
Her face was pale, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. It was clear that she had exhausted a great deal of mental energy while deducing the array patterns, and had even suffered a slight backlash.
"Chu Tiankuo, our Blood Shadow Sect is determined to obtain this Nascent Soul inheritance!"
The Demonic Saint let out an extremely piercing laugh.
Blood mist surged around him, and he actually withstood the killing intent of the formation, transforming into a blood-red afterimage as he charged towards the altar.
"Delusion!"
The heirs of two reclusive families made their move simultaneously.
One side unleashed an ancient bronze cauldron, while the other side unleashed dozens of high-level talismans, instantly sealing off the path of the Demonic Saint.
Five of the most outstanding talents in the Southern Wilderness engaged in an extremely fierce bloody battle just ten feet away from the altar.
Sword energy, blood mist, talisman light, water curtain.
Various powerful spells and trump cards clashed wildly in this confined space.
In their quest for the inheritance that leads directly to the Nascent Soul stage, everyone fought with bloodlust, even burning their life essence and squeezing out their true energy at any cost.
Just as the five were locked in a fierce battle, each suffering heavy injuries, they were about to engage in a chaotic and brutal fight.
The altar in the center of the hall suddenly trembled violently.
"Buzz—"
Accompanied by an extremely ancient bell tolling.
The defensive barriers above the altar completely dissipated.
An ancient jade slip emitting a soft white light, and three jade boxes floating in mid-air, imbued with the essence of heaven and earth, appeared before everyone's eyes without any concealment.
Inheritance in this world!
That jade slip must contain the core cultivation technique of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
The aura emanating from those three jade boxes was clearly that they were top-grade Core Formation spiritual items that had long been extinct in the cultivation world and could increase the chances of Core Formation!
Either one of them, if taken out, would be enough to stir up a bloodbath in the entire Southern Wilderness cultivation world.
"The legacy is mine!"
With bloodshot eyes, the Demonic Saint spat out a mouthful of his life essence blood without hesitation, forcibly casting the Blood Escape Technique.
Chu Tiankuo's eyes blazed with sword light, and he became one with the sword, transforming into a dazzling rainbow that withstood the magical attacks of the two reclusive family heirs and headed straight for the altar.
Lin Wan'er gritted her teeth and activated an extremely precious, one-time-use water escape magic weapon.
Everyone pushed their speed to the limit, their eyes fixed on the supreme opportunity that was within reach.
Whoever encounters it first will rise to the top in one step.
however.
Just as the fingers of these five peerless geniuses were about to touch the altar's light screen...
A shocking change occurred without warning.
Deep inside the main hall, behind a broken stone pillar.
A figure dressed in extremely ordinary black robes, a rogue cultivator, appeared like a ghost.
It was Li Han, who had been chased and fled in a sorry state on the outskirts earlier!
No one knows when he entered the main hall.
No one knows how he managed to bypass the monstrous formations surrounding the main hall that could even kill geniuses, and silently infiltrate the blind spot closest to the altar.
At this moment, Li Han's eyes showed no panic whatsoever, only an extremely calm madness.
The ancient ring he wore on his left hand was emitting an extremely faint spiritual energy fluctuation.
"Now! The moment they blast open the altar's aura, step through the Gate of Life!"
An extremely old voice echoed in Li Han's mind.
Li Han did not hesitate at all.
He moved with an extremely strange gait, even closing his eyes and completely abandoning his own senses.
One step, two steps, one step, two steps, like the devil's steps.
His landing spot, seemingly random, was actually precisely on the key node of the remnant array in the main hall.
A sudden realization on the eve of battle!
In this life-or-death predicament, guided by the remnant soul within the ring, he unexpectedly developed an extremely mysterious resonance with this ancient formation.
"Who goes there?!"
Chu Tiankuo was the first to notice the anomaly. His divine sense swept over the suddenly appearing black shadow, and his expression changed drastically.
But it was too late.
Li Han was closer to the altar than all of them.
Taking advantage of the moment the formation resonated, Li Han seemed to teleport, passing directly through the final defensive light barrier of the altar and standing in front of the inheritance.
"court death!"
The Demonic Saint roared, and his blood-red longsword, accompanied by an illusion of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, slashed fiercely down towards Li Han's head.
Chu Tiankuo's Heavenly Dao Sword Intent, Lin Wan'er's Extreme Cold Water Spike, and the killing moves of the two reclusive successors were surprisingly consistent at this moment.
The furious attack of five peerless geniuses was enough to blast any Foundation Establishment cultivator into dust.
Faced with such a devastating encirclement and attack.
Li Han neither dodged nor summoned his tattered black iron shield.
He suddenly patted the storage bag at his waist.
He forcibly summoned a tattered scroll that exuded an extremely ancient and weathered aura, even surpassing the laws of this world.
Mysterious Heavenly Treasure!
This is a divine item that only Nascent Soul stage monsters are worthy of possessing.
Who would have thought that it would end up in the hands of a low-level cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment!
Even if it is just an extremely damaged Xuan Tian spiritual treasure with only one-tenth of its power remaining.
The moment it appeared in the world.
The entire space inside the main hall seemed to be completely frozen.
The magical artifacts and spells unleashed by the five prodigies groaned under the oppressive force of this terrifying aura.
"town!"
Li Han spat out a mouthful of blood essence and forcibly activated the tattered scroll.
Five gray chains burst forth from the scroll, forcefully blocking the five assassination recruits a zhang away.
Taking advantage of this extremely precious moment of time.
Li Han rolled up his long sleeves.
He unceremoniously pocketed the Nascent Soul cultivation technique jade slip on the altar, as well as the three jade boxes containing top-grade Core Formation spiritual items.
The entire movement was fluid and incredibly fast.
The five most outstanding talents in the Southern Wilderness fought desperately, using all their trump cards and even sacrificing their lifespans.
In the end, they all became stepping stones for this insignificant rogue cultivator!
"Hand over the legacy!"
Chu Tiankuo's eyes were wide with rage.
He was a prodigy who was the center of attention from a young age, and his foundation in the Heavenly Dao made him invincible among his peers.
He couldn't accept that the opportunity he considered his for the taking had been snatched away in front of everyone by an ant whose name he couldn't even be bothered to remember.
This is not only a loss of resources, but also a ruthless trampling on his pride and moral integrity.
Chu Tiankuo forcefully bit the tip of his tongue, disregarding the damage to his meridians, and forcefully raised his sword intent, preparing to unleash a sword strike that would destroy everything in its path.
Lin Wan'er and the others also turned red-eyed, preparing to use the forbidden technique of burning their divine souls.
However, Li Han, who had obtained all the inheritances, had no intention of staying to fight them head-on.
That tattered Xuan Tian scroll had exhausted the last bit of true energy in his body.
He calmly took a half step back and placed one foot on an inconspicuous round stone slab behind the altar.
It was an extremely well-hidden ancient teleportation array.
A blinding white light shone from the stone slab.
Li Han stood in the pillar of light.
He looked down at the peerless geniuses outside, their faces contorted in agony as they frantically bombarded the scroll's barrier.
There was no fear in his eyes, but rather an arrogant and playful air of looking down on everyone else.
He stood with his hands behind his back, just as the teleportation beam was about to engulf him.
The sound echoed throughout the entire main hall.
"The roc rises with the wind, soaring ninety thousand miles high."
"Gentlemen, thank you for the treasures today. I, Li, will now depart."
The teleportation array flashed suddenly.
Li Han's figure, along with the tattered Xuan Tian scroll, completely disappeared from the main hall.
Nothing was left on the empty altar.
"No--!!!"
Chu Tiankuo let out an extremely fierce roar.
His all-out sword strike finally cleaved through the remaining barrier of the Xuan Tian Scroll, but it only struck a dissipating white light of teleportation.
The powerful backlash of sword intent, coupled with extreme rage, overwhelmed his mind.
Chu Tiankuo felt a sweet taste in his throat and suddenly spat out a mouthful of bright red blood.
At this moment, a very clear crack appeared in the Heavenly Dao Foundation Building Dao Heart, which had always been as solid as a rock.
He lost.
The defeat was utterly devastating and extremely frustrating.
Lin Wan'er was not spared either.
In her attempt to forcefully break the barrier, she suffered a severe backlash from the magic. Her face turned ashen, her body swayed precariously, and she finally collapsed to the ground, too weak to even stand up.
The Demonic Saint and the two reclusive family heirs were both weak and staring blankly at the empty altar.
A battle that swept through all the most outstanding talents in the Southern Wilderness.
In the end, it all ended with a rogue cultivator, whom everyone looked down upon, leaving with his head held high, defying everyone's dignity.
……
Beyond the Great Wilderness Secret Realm.
Above the wasteland.
The flying boats and palaces of the various sects hovered in mid-air.
Several Golden Core stage elders and a Nascent Soul stage Supreme Elder of the Cangxuan Sect were sitting on the clouds, waiting for good news.
In their view, it was a formidable combination of Chu Tiankuo and Lin Wan'er, two prodigies who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage of the Heavenly Dao.
The Nascent Soul inheritance will inevitably be within the grasp of the Cangxuan Sect.
The other forces are just there to make up the numbers.
"Judging by the time, the battle for the core of the secret realm should have ended by now."
A Golden Core elder stroked his beard and smiled, his tone revealing great confidence.
Just now.
The vortex of spiritual energy at the entrance to the secret realm began to fluctuate violently.
A large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators were teleported out by the repulsive force of the secret realm.
Among this group of people, Chu Tiankuo and Lin Wan'er fell to the ground in a very disheveled state.
Chu Tiankuo's robe was stained with blood, his expression was listless, and his eyes were filled with despair and gloom.
Lin Wan'er needed the support of her fellow disciples to even stand up.
Upon seeing this, the Supreme Elder of the Cangxuan Sect's expression changed drastically, and he flashed to the two of them.
"Tiankuo, Wan'er, what happened? Where is the inheritance?!"
The Supreme Elder's voice carried an extremely heavy and imposing aura.
Chu Tiankuo gritted his teeth, clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, drawing blood.
He lowered his proud head with great difficulty, his voice hoarse.
"Reporting back to the Supreme Elder..."
"The inheritance and the Core Formation artifact... were taken away by a rogue cultivator named Li Han."
This statement came out.
The high-ranking officials from various major forces, who had been paying attention to their own disciples, instantly fell silent.
"What?!"
An elder of the Blood Shadow Sect grabbed the heavily injured Demonic Saint and roared, "You five Foundation Establishment Heavenly Dao prodigies had your things stolen by a rogue cultivator?!"
"Useless! They're all useless!"
The elders of the reclusive family were so angry that they trembled all over.
The Supreme Elder of the Cangxuan Sect had a face so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.
Where is Li Han?
The terrifying divine sense of the Nascent Soul stage cultivator swept across the entire wasteland like a storm, frantically scanning among the tens of thousands of teleported cultivators.
He didn't come out.
Chu Tiankuo took a deep breath and reported everything that had happened in the main hall without reservation.
All the high-level cultivators present turned extremely ugly.
"Seal off an area spanning 100,000 li! Notify the sect's dark web to issue a full-scale manhunt for Li Han!"
The Supreme Elder of the Cangxuan Sect laughed in extreme anger, his voice shaking heaven and earth.
"A mere Foundation Establishment stage ant, wielding Nascent Soul inheritance and Core Formation spiritual treasures—let's see where he can hide!"
The elders of the Blood Shadow Sect, hidden families, and other major powers also issued extremely strict arrest warrants.
In an instant, the entire high-ranking members of the Southern Wilderness cultivation world were utterly enraged.
All major forces mobilized, and a vast and inescapable net was instantly cast.
The culprit who caused all this, Li Han, had already escaped amidst countless curses and manhunts.
……
Half a month later, the Taihuang Secret Realm was completely closed.
Thousands of surviving cultivators flew out of the vortex at the entrance one after another.
Su Yu and Tie Zhan mingled in the crowd, calmly walking down the platform.
Compared to those sect teams that returned empty-handed or even lost most of their members.
Their storage bags were completely full.
There are countless second-tier high-grade refining materials and rare spiritual herbs of sufficient age.
In terms of sheer quantity of resources, Su Yu's gains from this trip to the secret realm far surpass those of 90% of the cultivators present!
