Junior Sister must ascend this time!

Mingyuan couldn't bear to listen any longer and coughed lightly twice.

The five of them turned around at the same time and saw that it was Elder Mingyuan. They almost dropped the steamed buns in their hands.

Yun Qing was the first to bow, "Master Mingyuan, what brings you here?"

Mingyuan raised his chin. "Here's the thing, we've decided to set off first thing tomorrow morning. This time, Linxu and I will be leading the team to the secret realm. There are a few things I need to explain to you in advance."

The five of them nodded in unison, looking obedient.

Mingyuan: "The secret realm holds many opportunities, but also great risks. You..."

The five of them said in unison, "Safety comes first. We can give up opportunities, but we absolutely cannot get hurt."

Mingyuan: "The people from the Immortal Alliance are not to be trifled with, you..."

The five men said, "Fight if you can win, run if you can't. Don't fall for their tricks."

Mingyuan: "When you encounter injustice, don't..."

The five said, "Don't try to fight it head-on. Our master and senior uncles will help us handle it."

Mingyuan: ………

Yun Qing tilted her head. "Did Master Mingyuan give any other instructions?"

Mingyuan awkwardly touched his nose. They remembered it even better than he did. What else could he say?

"Um...it's nothing. We're leaving early tomorrow morning, so go get some rest and don't be late."

"yes!"

The next day, as expected, the five were late...

Linxu and Mingyuan carried them to the mountain gate; they had never seen anyone with such a big heart before.

After receiving numerous instructions from the other masters, Yun Qing and her fellow disciples boarded the flying boat.

It only takes one day to reach the location of the secret realm by airship. The reason Mingyuan and his group went ahead of time was to avoid blocking the airship.

This secret realm is the largest one to appear in recent decades. There are so many opportunities inside that you can encounter them almost every few steps. In addition, the Immortal Alliance has set a ranking system this time, and the sect ranked first can receive extra rewards.

Therefore, cultivators who are not qualified to enter this secret realm will all go to join in the fun, and at that time, those who fly on swords, those who ride flying boats, or those who ride spirit beasts will all be in complete chaos.

What Mingyuan and his group thought of, the other cultivators also thought of...

Aside from Yun Qing, the other four stood on the deck of the flying boat, all looking up in unison. "Wow! So many flying boats! So many swords!"

Yun Qing's last participation in the secret realm was in her previous life; she had long since passed the age where everything was new and exciting to her.

Lin Xu sighed, thinking to himself, "These kids are so naive. I guess I need to take them out to participate in more trials." Surprisingly, the youngest, Xiao Qing, was the most composed.

He was about to say something in praise when she exclaimed, "Wow! What a huge airship! It's dazzling!"

Linxu:………

Pei Shubai followed the direction she pointed and glanced at the flying boat with white jade and gold trim, and said, "That is the Golden Jade Sect. The sect has the longest spiritual vein in the entire Central Continent. It mainly focuses on weapon crafting, but there are also one or two very powerful sword cultivators among the current disciples."

Si Mingche suddenly remembered, "Oh! You mean those flamboyant monsters whose robes are all sewn with gold thread?"

Compared to them, Si Mingche felt he was too low-key.

The disciples of Jinyu Sect also noticed the flying boat of Chengtian Sect. "Their flying boat looks so old. We didn't use that kind of model a hundred years ago."

Shen Qingchen, the senior disciple of Jin Yuzong, frowned and said, "It is quite pitiful. The sect may not have enough funds. It is already difficult enough for them to be able to take a flying boat. Let's help them as much as we can when we get to the secret realm."

The two flying boats were not far apart, and the cultivators present were all of decent strength, so they could hear their conversation to some extent.

Si Mingche was the first to explode. This was the first time in his life he had ever heard someone say he was poor! At least before this, he didn't even know how to write the word "poor".

"What does he mean?! What does he mean?! He's actually pitying us! Don't stop me, I'm going to throw talismans and blow them up!"

Jiang Mian sneered: "With the configuration of their airship, you'd be blown to pieces before you even got close."

Cen Ning had already hidden in the cabin when the flying boat approached. Hearing Jiang Mian's words, she poked her head out and said, "That's right!"

Yun Qing patted Si Mingche on the shoulder and said softly, "Third Senior Brother, why are you angry? These sects with their rich but foolish members are the easiest to fool. Once we're in the secret realm, I'll take you to scam some people first!"

Although there was still a day before the secret realm opened, when the group arrived, there were already quite a few cultivators gathered at the entrance.

Thus, the area outside the secret chamber became a large-scale exchange of pleasantries. Of course, most of it was insincere, but there were also direct sarcasm. They were all the pride of their sects, so it was normal for no one to be convinced by anyone else.

The five of them didn't want to join in the fun, so they found a secluded spot to meditate and cultivate.

Seeing that the five were so self-aware, Mingyuan and Linxu went to talk to the elders of the other sects.

For the sake of efficiency, Yun Qing simply set up a spirit-gathering array around the group, and then closed his eyes to enter meditation.

While meditating, the five of them noticed that the spiritual energy was becoming increasingly abundant, so they became more and more engrossed in their practice until an hour before the secret realm was to open, when they slowly opened their eyes.

Yun Qing stood up and casually deactivated the spirit-gathering array before realizing that everyone outside the secret realm was staring at them with a hint of resentment in their eyes.

Yun Qing: ? ? ? We were just cultivating diligently, we didn't bully anyone, right?!

Unbeknownst to them, during their cultivation, the surrounding spiritual energy continuously gathered around them, causing many meditating cultivators who were on the verge of death to suddenly sit up in shock.

"Who?"

"Who stole my spiritual energy?!"

Pei Shubai observed his surroundings and noticed that the spiritual energy had thinned considerably. He then looked down at the spiritual energy around him, which was almost solidifying, and finally understood why everyone had that expression. He whispered to Yun Qing, "Junior Sister, your spirit-gathering array seems to be too strong..."

Yun Qing spread her hands, looking helpless. "I really just laid it out randomly, I didn't expect it to work so well. Sigh, being too talented is also quite annoying."

Four people: ………

After this series of actions, Chengtian Sect became the focus of attention.

At this moment, five cultivators emerged from the crowd, dressed in black sect robes with silver patterns embroidered on the cuffs, their expressions uniformly arrogant and domineering.

The leading disciple fixed his gaze on Pei Shubai. "So it was you who monopolized the spiritual energy outside the entire secret realm? Pei Shubai, your Chengtian Sect really knows how to offend people."

Pei Shubai glanced at him and said indifferently, "Likewise, your words are still as infuriating as ever."

Si Mingche whispered to Yun Qing from behind, "That person is Gu Changfeng, the senior brother of the Xuanming Sect. He has always wanted to have a match with the senior brother, but the senior brother has ignored him. So he always finds various reasons to provoke the senior brother."

Yun Qing nodded, then peeked out from behind Pei Shubai. "This senior brother is so strange. There's no rule against anyone using the spiritual energy here. You can also set up a spirit-gathering array, so why are you accusing us of hoarding the spiritual energy when you can't compete with us?"

"Could it be? You didn't set up a spirit-gathering array? That would be such a pity..."
