I loaded the innate divine power.

Familiar Mangshan Secret Realm

Zhuang Kun patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Junior brother, just be careful and take precautions."

Shen Yi nodded.

Being on guard is definitely necessary.

This is not the first time in this regard.

From his time with the Zoroastrian sect to now, this should be the third time he has faced righteous sects.

While the two were chatting, several other people arrived shortly afterward.

Several core disciples who look very young.

Its aura is powerful and majestic.

Shen Yi didn't recognize any of them, and it was only thanks to Zhuang Kun's introduction that he was able to get a basic understanding of them.

Shen Yi's time at the Holy Sect was short, and he didn't meet many people.

I've basically never seen any of the core disciples.

Well, it's not that I've never seen them at all. At the very least, Yu Susu was one of the core members back then.

He didn't know much about Yu Susu's backing, but it was quite powerful.

"Senior Sister Yu!"

"Greetings, Senior Sister Yu."

"Senior Sister Yu."

Just then, a charming and alluring figure, accompanied by a captivating fragrance, strode towards them.

Shen Yi looked up and was taken aback.

Yu Susu!

Since arriving at the Holy Sect, he had never seen this former "Jade Saint Envoy" again. Today was their second meeting.

"She's in the same profession!"

Shen Yi felt a chill run down his spine.

Although Yu Susu's cultivation level was not as high as Bai Suzhen's, he knew that Yu Susu had already cultivated to the perfection of Gang Jin, and was only one step away from the position of true successor.

Yu Susu arrived with a smile, and nodded gently in response to the greetings from the crowd.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Yu!" Shen Yi also cupped his hands in greeting.

Yu Susu's gaze fell on him, and after a quick glance, her pupils contracted.

The Dan Jin technique is now fully mastered!

Yu Susu looked at Shen Yi, her captivating eyes freezing on him.

Dan Jin is now fully realized!

The scene of her first meeting with Shen Yi involuntarily flashed into her mind.

At that time, he was still at the Yi Jin Jing level, a low-level cultivator who could be easily wiped out.

But in the blink of an eye, it has already reached such a state.

Half a month ago, during the Dragon Transformation Battle, he seized the top spot, but he was only at the mid-stage of the Core Formation realm.

To leapfrog two realms in half a month—what kind of monster is this?!

Yu Susu's chest heaved as she stared at Shen Yi.

Ok?

Are they having an affair?!

Seeing this scene, a thought popped into Zhuang Kun's mind.

Judging from Yu Susu's appearance, it seems that she has a more than simple acquaintance with Shen Yi; her gaze is a bit "chaotic"!

Zhuang Kun wasn't the only one who thought this way; the other core disciples also had the same question when they saw this scene.

This alluring woman is actually a ruthless person!

Back then, he could even outshine Bai Zhenchuan.

However, Bai Zhenchuan received a stroke of good fortune and was the first to break through the limits, stepping into the True Qi Realm and achieving the position of True Disciple.

Shen Yi is Bai Suzhen's man, and I heard they have a very good relationship. Bai Suzhen even bestowed one of her Taoist temples upon him. Could it be that these two have some unknown secret?

The core disciples, their imaginations running wild, watched this scene with their eyes lighting up, eagerly awaiting what would happen next.

"Ahem, Senior Sister Yu, it's been a long time." Shen Yi also sensed the somewhat awkward atmosphere and coughed to break the silence.

Yu Susu's face regained its charming smile, her alluring eyes fixed on him as she stepped forward with a seductive gait.

"Yes, it's been a while. I never expected that Junior Brother Shen would achieve such brilliance and become famous throughout the Holy Sect."

As Yu Susu approached, her fragrance wafting into his nostrils, Shen Yi subconsciously took a step back and cupped his hands in greeting: "I dare not accept such praise. I only managed to obtain the top spot thanks to Senior Brother Zhuang's generosity."

Zhuang Kun: "————"

"Thank you for conceding? I'll concede my ass!"

If you don't admit defeat, you'll beat me until I vomit blood.

Zhuang Kun's eyelids twitched, and he inwardly grumbled.

Yu Susu smiled and looked at him: "Junior Brother Shen is really modest. It seems that it won't be long before I am not as good as you."

"You flatter me, Senior Sister." Shen Yi clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Junior brother, your senior sister will take care of you during your journey to the secret realm, so don't worry." Yu Susu stretched out her slender hand, gently patted his shoulder, and said with a smile.

rest assured?!

I'm even more worried about you taking care of me!

Shen Yi inwardly scoffed, but smiled and cupped his hands in greeting: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Sister."

Yu Susu smiled slightly, and just as she was about to speak, a figure descended from the sky with a loud bang.

Snap!

A crater was blown open in the ground, and everyone's eyes fell on the figure that had fallen from the sky.

A muscular, purple-robed giant came into their view.

His brows exuded an air of arrogance and domineering power.

His eyes were incredibly sharp.

"Greetings, Elder Wang!"

The group was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to their senses and bowed in unison.

Shen Yi also bowed and greeted the crowd.

Holy Sect Elder, Wang Mingyang!

This is an elder of the Holy Sect at the True Qi Realm, and his strength is formidable.

It belongs to the faction of the sect leader.

This time, Wang Mingyang led them to the "Mangshan Secret Realm".

"Damn, I almost overslept, luckily I made it in time," Wang Mingyang muttered under his breath.

Everyone:

This elder is truly free-spirited and unrestrained.

So cool, so damn cool.

Wang Mingyang glanced at everyone and nodded slightly: "It seems everyone is here."

"In that case, let's set off."

Without wasting words, Wang Mingyang finished speaking, flicked his sleeve, and a dark light was unleashed.

It grows longer as it faces the wind.

It transformed into a treasure ship ten zhang in size and appeared before everyone.

The enormous treasure ship hovered three feet high.

The passageway of the treasure ship opened, revealing a wooden staircase.

"This treasure—a void spaceship!?"

Shen Yi's pupils contracted as he looked at the treasure ship before him.

However, after seeing Bai Suzhen's white crane treasure, he was not so shocked.

This treasure should be a spiritual treasure that surpasses the level of a spiritual weapon.

It possesses a variety of magical uses.

In a world where demons exist, it's not surprising to find flying magical artifacts and spaceships.

The Holy Sect has a profound foundation, which cannot be compared to the Zoroastrian sect's remote and isolated location.

They're all in different grades.

However, this thing is not something that ordinary people can activate.

Bai Suzhen once mentioned that under the influence of the Gang Force, even a spiritual treasure cannot be activated.

Even with ordinary internal energy, it's extremely difficult to activate a spiritual treasure.

Wang Mingyang boarded the ship first, followed closely by the others, who then boarded the treasure ship with him.

Everyone boarded the treasure ship, and the ship's passageway automatically closed.

Wang Mingyang glanced at everyone, spread his hands, and showed his identity token.

? ?

What are you going to do?

Shen Yi was taken aback when he saw the identity token that Wang Mingyang took out.

"Come on, everyone transfer 3,000 contribution points to me as a handling fee. If you don't want to transfer, you can go down and walk yourself. But if anything unexpected happens, I can't guarantee it."

Wang Mingyang spoke calmly.

#!

A transaction fee of 3,000 contribution points per person? That's outrageous!

Shen Yi's eyelids twitched violently.

Damn it, we all have to pay if we go together!

The handling fee of 3,000 contribution points would have been enough to kick him out if he hadn't only exchanged forty bottles of Hunyuan Pills and kept some as a backup.

Seriously, you should at least have given us a heads-up!

They only charge a handling fee after the trip has started.

Moreover, the implication is that this handling fee is not only for the cost of the boat ride, but also a protective fee.

If they don't give it to you, then good luck to you.

This demonstrates the true spirit of the Holy Sect to its fullest extent.

Beast!

The disciples were taken aback. Looking at Wang Mingyang's kind and amiable expression, they all took out their identity tokens to pay.

There were twelve disciples in total.

Received 36,000 contribution points.

As a member of the Holy Sect, the elder naturally knew what it meant to be a wise man who knows when to yield.

"Black-hearted dog—beast!"

Shen Yi looked at the meager two thousand contribution points remaining on his identity token, his heart bleeding.

It feels great to spend contribution points!

But now, he is on the verge of bankruptcy again.

He never expected that he would have to pay a "handling fee" to go together.

This time, he truly witnessed what "the style of the Holy Sect" meant.

They don't even spare their own people!

Looking at the contribution points that had been credited to his account, Wang Mingyang smiled kindly.

Looking at everyone, he smiled and said, "Each person has a room on the ship. We're expected to arrive in three days, so don't wander off."

Everyone nodded silently.

The next moment, the treasure ship roared and shot straight into the sky above the clouds, heading towards the vast天地 (heaven and earth).

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from the gates of the Holy Sect.

Standing on the treasure ship, Shen Yi looked at the scenery below and gazed at the gate of the Holy Sect.

This is the first large-scale collective operation since arriving at the Holy Sect.

Mangshan's Hidden Gem!

This was also the first secret place he visited.

"Three days, hmm, I need to hurry up and refine the Hunyuan Pill. I estimate I might fall a little short of breaking through, but if there's still time when I get there, I should be able to break through to Gang Jin."

A thought flashed through Shen Yi's mind. He withdrew his gaze, turned around, and went straight up to the second floor of the treasure ship. He randomly chose a room and went inside.

Everyone gradually came to their senses. Although they felt a little sorry for the 3,000 contribution points, they still had to pay them to save trouble.

Traveling by treasure ship would be much more convenient. With the Holy Sect elders leading the way, under normal circumstances, no fool would dare to attack.

Safety is very important.

Everyone went into a room.

Some are practicing, while others are conserving their energy.

Elder Wang Mingyang then went to a room on the top floor.

The treasure ship maintained a relatively uniform speed as it flew through the air.

In the room, Shen Yi sat cross-legged on the bed, looking out the window at the beautiful scenery outside. However, he had no interest in appreciating it at the moment.

This trip was different from what he had expected, but it did provide him with some convenience.

Shen Yi took out the Hunyuan Pill from his Qiankun Bag, swallowed it, and began to refine the pill while visualizing the Demon Extreme God Diagram.

Although the effects of the Hunyuan Pill have been greatly reduced, it is still faster than simply practicing asceticism.

Immersive practice.

The scenery outside the window changes and flies by.

Time passed by, second by second.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed quietly.

In the room, Shen Yi opened his eyes.

A powerful aura flowed around him.

Compressed air.

"call----"

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Shen Yi looked at the control panel.

Demonic Extreme Chaos Technique (Fourth Level): [66695/80000]

Killing Demon Blade Slash (Level 8): [4/128000]

"The results are getting worse and worse —"

Looking at the panel, Shen Yi realized that he had refined a full thirty bottles of Hunyuan Pills in three days.

However, the results were not as expected.

Having broken through to the peak of Dan Jin, now a single Hunyuan Pill only increases the progress by about eighty points.

Refining a bottle of Hunyuan Pill only yields 800 points.

Refining a bottle of Hunyuan Pill is not even as effective as the automatic growth he gets from absorbing energy through his demonic apertures in a single day.

Although the speed was much faster, the effect of the pills was much worse.

However, with the progress increased by tens of thousands of points, the color of the illusory core in the dantian became even brighter, and the demonic fire surrounding the illusory core seemed to be much brighter as well.

A powerful surge of energy circulated through his meridians, and his demonic aperture absorbed and refined the primordial energy, constantly strengthening his Demonic Extreme Chaotic Force.

"I still have ten bottles of Hunyuan Pills left. Even if I refine them all, it won't be enough for my breakthrough."

Shen Yi frowned.

The stronger one's cultivation level, the greater the effect.

When you reach the Marrow Cleansing Realm, two pills will provide an improvement that surpasses the current benefit of one bottle.

"It seems that after breaking through to the Gang Jin level, I'll have to consider using more powerful pills in the future."

"That's the price—"

Shen Yi sighed inwardly.

Resource-assisted cultivation leads to rapid improvement.

He made the most of his divine talent.

However, his problem is—

My contribution points are no longer enough.

The Dragon Transformation Ranking only happens once a year.

Moreover, once you become a core disciple, it will be impossible for you to participate.

We need to make money!

Without contribution points and lacking resource support, his progress, though still incredibly fast compared to others, couldn't satisfy his appetite.

"Let's wait until after the secret realm."

"Make do for now. After the secret realm ends, breaking through to the Gang Jin realm will be a natural progression."

Shen Yi thought to himself.

With daily progress increases of over a thousand, the refinement of several bottles of Hunyuan Pills, and his daily improvements, he will soon be able to break through to the fifth level of the Demon Extreme Huntian Technique.

Reaching the fifth level, he can more easily master the martial arts within the Demon Extreme Chaos Technique.

As for the future, we'll have to wait until after the journey to the secret realm.

There are many ways to earn contribution points, and the stronger you are, the easier it is.

"They should be here soon!"

Shen Yi looked out the window at the gradually brightening sky, glanced at it, and took out a bottle of Hunyuan Pills to continue refining them.

Just as he finished refining a bottle of Hunyuan Pills, Wang Mingyang's voice rang in his ears: "They're all out, they'll be here soon."

Upon hearing the telepathic message, Shen Yi stopped refining the pills and got up to walk out of the room.

As soon as they stepped out of the room, almost everyone else followed suit.

The sky had already brightened, but the morning mist made everything appear as a vast expanse of white, obscuring everything.

The treasure ship continued its flight, and soon, through the hazy mist, a massive black mountain came into view.

Looking out from the void, this black mountain resembles a reclining dragon coiled above the earth.

Especially the mountain in the middle, which, when viewed from a distance, looks like a giant skull.

Even before getting close, there was a chilling, eerie feeling.

It looked a bit eerie to the naked eye, but under the cover of the mental energy field, streaks of malevolent energy swept through the void, surrounding the entire black mountain.

It was like a desolate wasteland.

The treasure ship came flying through the air and finally landed on the open ground at the foot of the black mountain that resembled a skull.

Upon landing, the eerie feeling intensified, as if one were surrounded by malevolent energy.

It is invisible to the naked eye, but can be sensed.
