Chapter 97 Dragon Transformation and Breakthrough in the Mangshan Secret Realm [Third update, please subscribe!!!]

Sacred Flame Peak.

Shen Yi enjoyed a comfortable bath with Hong Ying's help, feeling refreshed and relaxed all over.

"Cool!"

The energy evaporated the water droplets all over his body, and he changed into a new set of clothes. Shen Yi looked at his reward.

"Well, I'll take it after we get there. By the way, I can also ask about the secret realm."

A thought flashed through Shen Yi's mind. He looked at the distant Jade Peak, tidied himself up briefly, and then went out.

About half an hour later, Shen Yi arrived at Jade Peak.

At the foot of the mountain, Qinglan was already waiting. When she saw Shen Yi appear, Qinglan quickly stepped forward and bowed slightly: "Greetings, Young Master Shen. Congratulations on winning the crown."

"Thank you. Where is Senior Sister?" Shen Yi asked Qinglan.

Qinglan bowed slightly: "His Majesty is already waiting in the palace. Please follow me, young master."

Shen Yi nodded slightly, then followed Qinglan's footsteps and headed up the mountain.

Before long, led by Qinglan, Shen Yi arrived in front of the Jade Palace.

"Young master, please!" Qinglan stopped and gestured.

Shen Yi stepped into the Jade Palace.

This is his first time back since leaving Yuqiong Peak.

Upon entering the main hall, they found it empty and deserted; Bai Suzhen was nowhere to be seen.

Shen Yi seemed quite relaxed. He went over and sat down in a chair, picked up the teapot on the table next to him, and poured himself a cup of hot tea.

Just as he took a sip of tea, a soft footstep was heard from inside the inner hall.

Shen Yi's ears twitched, and he looked into the depths of the main hall, where a figure appeared in his sight.

Bai Suzhen appeared in his field of vision, dressed in a purple dress.

Her voluptuous figure was perfectly accentuated, a feast for the eyes.

He immediately stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings, Senior Sister."

Bai Suzhen strolled over, glanced at him, and said, "Relax and sit down."

Shen Yi sat down, his gaze fixed on Bai Suzhen in front of him.

"Junior brother, your progress is truly amazing. I never thought you could actually win the championship."

Shen Yi clasped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for your support, Senior Sister. Without a spiritual training ground like Sacred Flame Peak, I'm afraid I wouldn't have made the progress I have today."

Upon hearing this, Bai Suzhen smiled and looked him over with her bright eyes: "Chief of the Dragon Transformation, your performance this time was outstanding. I have decided to recommend you to Master."

!!!

Although he was mentally prepared, his heart still skipped a beat when he heard Bai Suzhen's words.

"Thank you so much, Senior Sister!"

Shen Yi clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Even just coming into the Holy Lord's sight is enough. He doesn't dream of getting the Holy Lord's strong support; just having that title is enough.

This title is his "protective charm" in the Holy Sect!

At least during his time in the Holy Sect, having such a "protective charm" was enough for him to cultivate in peace.

Bai Suzhen looked at him, tapped the table lightly with her fingertips, and slowly said, "However, junior brother, we may have to wait a while. Master still has some things to deal with, and it should take a few days."

"No problem." Shen Yi naturally had no objections; this promise was enough.

As for the timing, it must naturally be in accordance with the Holy Lord's schedule; it is impossible to accommodate him.

The leader of the dragon transformation, the number one among the inner disciples!

In the eyes of the Holy Sect's giants, these titles were merely slightly more impressive.

If you really think you can run rampant just because you're the best in the inner sect, then there's only one outcome: you won't even know how you died.

The Holy Sect of Biyang is not a place where one can act with impunity, especially in the eyes of the sect's leaders.

In terms of status and strength, the difference is more than just one level.

Being ranked first in the inner sect only allowed him to establish a firm foothold.

The Holy Sect has only one unchanging rule throughout history: strength.

This is what is eternal; everything else is subject to change at any time.

"Senior sister, I'd like to ask, what's the deal with this secret realm?"

Shen Yi took out the secret realm token and looked at Bai Suzhen.

He knew very little about this; in fact, it was the first time he had ever heard of it.

However, as a reward for the leader of the Holy Sect's Dragon Transformation, he felt it should be quite good.

"This secret realm quota is the Mangshan Secret Realm Token, located in the northwest of Qingzhou, in a triangular area bordering Youzhou. However, it is not completely controlled by the Holy Sect, and there are also quotas from the Divine Martial Sect and the Vajra Sect."

Bai Suzhen glanced at the secret realm token and said calmly.

? ?

There are still matters concerning the two major sects?!

Hearing this, Shen Yi was stunned.

He thought the secret realm was completely controlled by the Holy Sect, but he didn't expect that the two major sects were also involved.

No, shouldn't these two major sects be Biyang's greatest enemies?!

Is there some kind of secret collaboration?!

Shen Yi was completely baffled.

This seems to be a bit of a confusing rhythm.

Good and evil cannot coexist!

Previously, on their way from the Zoroastrian sect to the Holy Sect, they were ambushed by two major sects.

This situation looks like a fight to the death.

But it's quite puzzling that this "Mangshan Secret Realm" is jointly managed by three major sects.

"When faced with interests, some issues can be temporarily set aside. The Mangshan Secret Realm is a considerable source of profit."

Bai Suzhen seemed to see through his thoughts and slowly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi suddenly understood.

The two major sects dislike the Biyang Sect, but they are unable to eliminate it. Perhaps there is an agreement between their higher-ups.

However, this might make the secret realm a bit dangerous.

Who knows if these two major sects will try to take action against him?

If you go alone, it might be tough.

"Senior Sister, what exactly is this Mangshan Secret Realm?" Shen Yi asked Bai Suzhen.

"Specific details ————"

Bai Suzhen pondered for a moment and slowly said, "The secret realm is a place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers. It has natural barriers and cannot be entered or exited at will. It can only be entered at specific times, basically once every three years."

"There are many rare and precious materials inside, some of which are unique to this place. However, it also contains a certain degree of danger, as demons lurk within."

"It is precisely because there are demons in it that we agreed to enter at the same time. Of course, once inside, the situation will be different, and we still need to be careful of the people from the two major sects."

"This Mangshan Secret Realm is where the earth's energy converges. Only during a specific period of three years, when the earth's energy surges, is there a ten-day period of stability."

"So that means we only have ten days to enter the Mangshan Secret Realm?" Shen Yi asked Bai Suzhen. Bai Suzhen nodded slightly: "Yes, only ten days. The specific situation inside is not static. Each time we enter, we will encounter different situations, so we can only adapt to the circumstances."

"How much longer until this Mangshan Secret Realm opens?"

"About a month, we'll have to set off half a month in advance," Bai Suzhen said.

"Your spot is extra; normally, only core disciples are eligible."

"so----"

Shen Yi breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Joint entry does increase the sense of security, but it doesn't guarantee anything.

Even one's own people must be careful when it comes to treasures. As an outsider, his share of the benefits among the core disciples is very limited.

This trip is mostly about seeing what's happening; if we're lucky, we might even find some treasures.

"What, worried that other disciples will steal your spoils?" Bai Suzhen seemed to have seen through his little scheme and teased him.

Shen Yi nodded.

Within the Holy Sect, there are still some rules to follow, but in the Secret Realm, the rule is strength.

None of the disciples of the Holy Sect are kind-hearted.

Core disciple!

Even more ruthless!

The kind ones are long gone.

"There's no need to worry too much. When you go to the secret realm, there will be a special elder to lead the team, so there won't be any major changes."

Bai Suzhen spoke slowly.

Shen Yi remained silent.

Having a dedicated elder leading the team only increased security somewhat; as for the gains—

That's not necessarily true.

Survival of the fittest!

"The specific rules will be told to you closer to departure, so don't worry too much," Bai Suzhen said, looking at him.

Shen Yi nodded.

This spot in the secret realm will at most allow him to experience it and broaden his horizons.

He didn't dream of obtaining any amazing treasures; his primary concern was to protect himself.

The others will be considered later.

Having a dedicated elder leading the team increases safety, but ultimately, one's own safety is the only guarantee.

There's still some time before departure, so he can use the Yin-Yang Dragon Transformation Pill to improve his strength.

Improve your martial arts skills.

Also, make good use of your contribution points and improve as much as possible.

At that time, no matter what the situation, he will not be completely powerless to react.

The deeper he cultivated the Demon Extreme Chaos Technique, the stronger he became.

Even though there is a gap between him and a Qi Refining martial artist now, he can do his best to narrow that gap.

About half an hour later, Shen Yi left Jade Peak.

Through this experience, he gained a clear understanding of the secret realm.

It is a treasure land, but also a dangerous place!

Demons and monsters roam freely there.

Putting everything else aside, these demons were also his "opportunity".

With enough power, even the gap between martial artists at the Gang Jin level can be overcome!

"Go back and absorb the Yin-Yang Dragon Transformation Pill first."

Once the thought was made up, Shen Yi quickened his pace and headed towards Sacred Flame Peak.

Return to Sacred Flame Peak.

Shen Yi then plunged into the quiet room.

Open the treasure box.

A golden pill appeared in his eyes.

Within the elixir, a black and white aura swirled.

A faint medicinal fragrance wafted into my nose, and my internal energy vibrated.

"I wonder how much this elixir that helps me break through to the Qi Refining stage will improve my abilities."

Shen Yi glanced at the progress on the panel.

There are still about 16,000 levels to go before reaching the third level of the Demon Extreme Chaos Technique.

After looking at the Yin-Yang Dragon Transformation Pill, Shen Yi opened his mouth and swallowed it.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, a warm sensation spread from my lungs.

My whole body trembled.

Shen Yi closed his eyes, mobilized his internal energy, circulated his mental cultivation technique, and visualized the Demonic Divine Diagram, focusing all his efforts on absorbing the medicinal power of the Yin-Yang Dragon Transformation Pill.

A layer of dark light enveloped his body, and behind him, a phantom figure, both god-like and demonic, materialized.

He devoted himself entirely to it, refining it with fervor.

Night falls, and time slips away unnoticed.

The night passed quietly.

The next day, dawn broke.

Inside the Sacred Flame Palace, a powerful surge of energy erupted from the quiet chamber, shaking the air.

In the quiet room, Shen Yi sat cross-legged, his muscles and bones crackling like popping beans.

A faint glow shone brightly!

The black illusory core in the dantian spun wildly, continuously absorbing and devouring the primordial qi.

"A humming, oscillating wave swept through, and the air rippled and churned like waves."

The demonic aura permeating his skin became even more powerful.

The moment his eyes opened, the aura surrounding him vanished without a trace.

"call----"

Shen Yi slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, his body filled with a powerful surge of energy.

His energy increased by nearly two times.

Within his dantian, the black illusory core became increasingly solid.

Psychic field spreads!

Most of the Sacred Flame Peak was enveloped in his mental energy field.

His cultivation level broke through the limit, entering the late stage of Dan Jin, approaching the limit of Dan Jin perfection.

In one night, he refined a Yin-Yang Dragon Transformation Pill, and his cultivation broke through a minor realm.

His physical strength has also increased significantly, and his Demonic Body has become even stronger.

The light intertwined before his eyes, and the panel appeared in his vision.

Demonic Extreme Chaos Technique (Level 3): (3589/40000)

Crimson Flame Palm (Level 8): [13576/56800]

Killing Demon Blade Slash (Level 7): [406/64000]

"The third level, the next step up, is the first transformation of the Demon Extreme Chaos Technique."

Shen Yi's gaze sharpened as he looked at the panel.

The fourth transformation of the Demonic Realm is a profound hurdle.

Demonic influence corrupts, demonic fire consumes the body!

Every step was extremely dangerous.

"The Yin-Yang Dragon Transformation Pill is indeed powerful; it forced me to break through one level and increased my progress by 20,000."

Looking at the progress on the panel, Shen Yi was very satisfied.

If we let him break through to the next level directly, and he cultivates under normal circumstances, it would take him quite a while to improve by 20,000 progress points.

With the help of elixirs, the speed is incredible!

The third level of the Demonic Extreme Chaos Technique is not just a simple breakthrough in cultivation; the Demonic Extreme Overlord Body has also broken through a small stage.

His physical strength has increased from the power of seven dragons to the power of nine dragons.

Increase the power of the two dragons.

"I estimate that they are not strong enough to go head-to-head with a Qi-level martial artist right now; at most, they can only put up a fight."

Shen Yi thought to himself.

From Dan Jin to Gang Jin, this is a leap across a dragon gate!

Even if one breaks through to the third level of the Demon Extreme Chaos Technique, it is still not enough to bridge the gap.

If his physical body is strong enough, he might be able to withstand a few head-on collisions.

While Dan Jin may be invincible, his current strength is still insufficient to face the Dragon Gate of Gang Realm.

Especially the core disciples of the Holy Sect, the Gang Jin martial artists.

The difference in strength is not something that can be overcome with a little effort.

With various supernatural powers at their disposal, the difference cannot be judged from the surface alone.

Moreover, there is a significant difference between martial artists with the Gang Jin (罡劲) skill.

The lower-grade Gang Jin corresponds to the Dan Jin, a blue illusory dan. This type of Gang Jin martial artist belongs to the ordinary Gang Jin category.

The intermediate-grade Gang Jin corresponds to the red illusory dan Jin.

The highest-grade internal energy corresponds to the purple nascent core.

Even among martial artists using the same type of internal energy, the quality of their internal energy varies greatly.

Even with his current strength, the person he's trying to scam is only a regular martial artist at the early stage of the Gang Jin realm, and even that would be difficult.

The quality of one's internal strength is only the foundation; there are also differences between different martial arts styles practiced.

This is also a huge gap, and unless his power can reach a level of perfect transcendence, it's unlikely he'll succeed.

A normal martial artist with the Qi of Gang Jin, even one who is only at the initial stage of Gang Jin, can unleash Qi power exceeding that of ten dragons.

With such a gap, even if his strength reached the power of ten dragons, he could only contend with an ordinary early-stage Gang Jin martial artist.

Ordinary, elite, and prodigies are not on the same level at all.
