God-Slaying Blade

boom--

Amidst everyone's excited gaze, a white vortex suddenly appeared in the valley a hundred feet away, three feet above the ground.

This white vortex, like a fairy's navel, rolls inward.

The force of the vortex pulled at the leaves and grass below, causing them to rise upwards.

"The secret passage has appeared. Young talents, you have fifteen minutes to enter. After fifteen minutes, the passage will close! Seven days later, the secret realm's spiritual energy absorption will end, and a powerful force will forcibly expel anything other than spiritual energy. Remember, you must not resist, or you will be forcibly crushed by the pulling force!"

As Sima Xiang shouted loudly, those who had obtained their spots from various sects rushed towards the white vortex.

Although the passage would last for fifteen minutes, they didn't want to waste a single moment.

"Xiao Jue, let's go in quickly!" Zhao Qingmeng said excitedly.

Qin Jue smiled and said, "No need to rush. Who knows, the ferocious beasts in this secret realm, starved for hundreds of years, are just waiting for someone to go in and have a meal!"

The Su Yun Sect disciples, who were about to rush out, froze in their tracks!

"Elder Qin, everyone is full of fighting spirit and ready to go in and look for opportunities. Don't make it sound so scary!" Xu Qianqian said with a wry smile.

Qin Jue smiled faintly and said, "Remember this, the most important thing is to get out alive! Opportunities may be good, but they are far less important than your life! If it's an opportunity you can see but can't have, don't dwell on it. It's something that's not meant for you. If you force it, you'll only lose your life!"

Everyone was taken aback. Elder Qin's instructions were completely different from what the sect's masters had said...

The sect had high hopes for them.

After all, returning empty-handed or returning with a full load will have a significant impact on the sect's future over the next hundred years.

"Remember, try not to team up with anyone other than your fellow disciples! Sometimes, people are the most dangerous! Let's go, we can move on now!"

Seeing that all the people from other forces had rushed in, Qin Jue also began to walk quickly towards the secret realm passage.

The others quickly followed.

"Sister-in-law, once you're inside, remember to fire the Cloud Piercing Arrow. I'll come find you immediately." Upon reaching the passage, Qin Jue reminded Zhao Qingmeng, then flashed and leaped into the white vortex above.

"Senior Sister Zhao, why didn't Elder Qin give us the Cloud Piercing Arrows? We need protection too!" Xu Qianqian said dejectedly.

Zhuo Muyan, Li Shuiyue and the others looked helpless. This was a special perk of being the eldest sister-in-law. How could outsiders like them receive such special treatment?

Zhao Qingmeng blushed and said, "He probably only has one."

"I don't remember this being expensive..." Xu Qianqian said dejectedly.

"Hey, hurry up and go in. Although you'll get protection if you're with Elder Qin, do you think you can beat him in the competition for opportunities?" Zhuo Muyan teased, urging him on.

"Um, that seems to be true. Elder Qin wouldn't steal from Senior Sister Zhao, but he might very well try to steal from us too." Xu Qianqian covered her mouth and smiled.

Through Qin Jue's pursuit of Sima Xiang for that one million spirit stones, Xu Qianqian discovered that this Elder Qin seemed to be a money-grubber...

……

Upon entering the secret realm passage, Qin Jue felt as if he were tightly enveloped by a powerful force.

In the blink of an eye, everything before my eyes was clear again.

This is a mountain forest that appears no different from the outside world on the surface.

But Qin Jue could clearly sense that the spiritual energy here was at least thirty times that of the outside world!

Even if you gain nothing in these seven days, seven days of cultivation can be equivalent to half a year's worth of effort.

"It's a nice place, but it's a pity I can only stay for seven days." Qin Jue smiled.

"You've already obtained so much spiritual milk, why would you care about this little bit of spiritual energy?" Liu Qingxue chuckled from within the God-Slaying Blade.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Qin Jue immediately took the God-Slaying Blade into his hand upon entering the secret realm.

Fortunately, the surroundings were quiet, and he didn't sense any fierce aura.

Qin Jue laughed and said, "Good resources, who would complain about having too many?"

As he spoke, he suddenly leaped into the air and flew high into the sky.

Ten feet, fifty feet, one hundred feet!

Further up, there seemed to be an invisible membrane of air above, preventing him from penetrating it.

"It seems that the highest altitude one can fly in the secret realm is only a hundred feet," Qin Jue thought to himself, glancing around in all directions.

The eye could not reach the entire secret realm, but all that could be seen were layers upon layers of mountains and forests.

"No need to look any further. Small secret realms of this level are generally only within a hundred miles in radius. At your speed, seven days is enough time to explore them three to five times. However, the person who can create a secret realm must at least have the cultivation of the Star Soul Realm. There's no guarantee that there won't be some hidden killing moves inside, so you can't be careless," Liu Qingxue reminded her.

Qin Jue raised an eyebrow: "Star Soul Realm, how powerful is that?"

"Not that strong, just four major realms higher than your current cultivation level," Liu Qingxue teased.

"..."

Just as Qin Jue was somewhat speechless, a dazzling firework burst open to his left.

No exotic beasts were allowed to be brought into the secret realm, so Qin Jue had no choice but to fly towards Zhao Qingmeng's location on his own.

He leaped gracefully to the top of the forest, his feet lightly touching the treetops as he swiftly made short, intermittent leaps.

Besides him, there were other figures around him from time to time, flying up to the treetops to observe the situation.

But as soon as they saw Qin Jue, they jumped back down from the treetops and ran away from their original positions as fast as they could.

This caution and tension is just like that of a small fish coming to the surface for air, startled to bump into a large black fish that has come out to hunt for food...

If you can't afford to offend them, can't you at least avoid them?

shhhhh--

Qin Jue, above the swaying trees, moved with the speed of an arrow, heading straight for Zhao Qingmeng's location.

He didn't care whether there were any precious spiritual materials along the way, but he did sense the auras of several ferocious beasts. Therefore, he dared not delay any longer.

Zhao Qingmeng was not only his sister-in-law, but also one of only two people in the Qin family. The harvest of spiritual materials was naturally not as important as the safety of his sister-in-law.

"Found it!"

Five miles ahead, Qin Jue sensed Zhao Qingmeng's presence.

But the smile on his face froze instantly the next moment!

"You beast, get out of here!"

Qin Jue's roar echoed for five miles, heading straight for a clump of low bushes behind Zhao Qingmeng!

Behind the bushes lurked a black, ferocious beast that resembled a wildcat.

This cat-like beast was about six times larger than a normal wild cat, and was as robust as a small black tiger.

But this is not a black tiger cub. This creature has pointed ears, a short tail, and fat paws; it is a mutated black lynx!

At this moment, the black lynx was baring its sharp teeth, its eyes fiercely staring at Zhao Qingmeng's snow-white neck, its hind legs fully extended, clearly preparing to ambush Zhao Qingmeng!

The moment Qin Jue's angry shout rang out, the black lynx felt a buzzing in its head!

It looked up in surprise, towards the direction from which the sound came.

It actually understood a human's threat?

At this moment, Zhao Qingmeng also realized what was happening. Her expression changed drastically, and her inner energy surged out!

Because Qin Jue's voice was very targeted, it seemed to be directed at her from behind!

"Hmph, how could I possibly let go of such easy prey that's already in my mouth!"

The black lynx snapped out of its daze and let out an angry meow. Although it had missed its chance to ambush, the woman in front of it looked like a weakling. It was fully confident that it could bite through the woman's neck before the strange human could rush over, suck out a mouthful of fresh blood, and then bite off a piece of tender flesh to escape...
