Fairy, I'm going to control you tightly!

Zhang Qingmiao simply shook her head.

"They're not the same! How can they be the same!"

Zhang Qingmiao's shout on the street quickly attracted the attention of others.

"Is that the legendary Ji Nanbei?"

"That's right! The legendary Ji Nanbei is exceptionally handsome, this must be him."

"Wow, Ji Nanbei, can I get your autograph?"

Ji Nanbei was completely exasperated at that moment.

People on the street gathered around.

That's absolutely insane.

Ji Nanbei hurriedly pulled Zhang Qingmiao up, then took to the air and flew towards the outside of the city to avoid the danger.

Ji Nanbei finally breathed a sigh of relief when the two arrived outside Chunjiang City.

Looking back, Zhang Qingmiao still had that same look of adoration on her face.

With a sigh, Ji Nanbei recalled what Heng Lixuan had just said about the matter of destiny.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, someone from the Heavenly Mystery Sect told me that a secret realm is about to open near the Fallen Eagle River, a place of great fortune. What do you think?"

Zhang Qingmiao was taken aback.

After a moment's hesitation, Zhang Qingmiao frowned and said:

"People from the Heavenly Mystery Sect rarely reveal such things. If what the other party said is true, it means that your entry into this secret realm will benefit the Heavenly Mystery Sect, Fellow Daoist Gu."

Ji Nanbei raised an eyebrow.

"Would my going in benefit the Heavenly Mystery Sect?"

That's a really strange logic.

Zhang Qingmiao nodded.

"The Heavenly Mystery Sect's ability to calculate the secrets of heaven is beyond doubt. However, they will not easily reveal it to people outside the sect, because they will suffer the backlash of the heavenly secrets."

There is only one exception: if this person will, through some twist of fate, benefit the Heavenly Mystery Sect, then the Heavenly Mystery Sect will inform that person.

At this point, Zhang Qingmiao shrugged.

"But the specifics are probably unknown even to the people of the Heavenly Mystery Sect themselves. They are simply following the will of Heaven as it is."

Ji Nanbei nodded.

That makes quite a bit of sense.

It seems that Heng Lixuan, a core disciple of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, appearing at the Misty Rain Pavilion was also a sign from Heaven.

Ah, actually, that's not the case.

Heng Lixuan was just a lecherous man. It was only after meeting Ji Nanbei that he started to perform divination and discovered the cause and effect on Ji Nanbei.

Ji Nanbei really thinks highly of Heng Lixuan.

When this guy gets serious, he really does look like a pro.

However, he is indeed a pervert who is obsessed with beautiful women and cannot extricate himself from it.

It was indeed a coincidence that Ji Nanbei met Heng Lixuan.

Back to the present.

"These secret realms of heaven and earth are divided into many types, but they can be summarized into two categories. One type is man-made secret realms of heaven and earth created by ancient cultivators. They have a long history and may contain precious inheritances, but they may also be fraught with great dangers."

Another type is formed automatically by the convergence of spiritual energy between heaven and earth. This type of secret realm is even rarer. It is certainly rich in spiritual energy and filled with rare treasures, but it may also contain natural dangers or ferocious beasts.

Although they differ, both are essentially small worlds independent of external space. Both also present both opportunities and crises.

Zhang Qingmiao gave Ji Nanbei a brief introduction to this so-called secret realm of heaven and earth.

In fact, Zhang Qingmiao had never explored the hidden realms of heaven and earth.

Because truly rare and precious natural realms are indeed extremely rare.

What still exists in the world has become the property of the major sects.

It is opened once every few years, allowing their own disciples to go in and train.

Most of the risks have been eliminated.

Conversely, there are very few opportunities left.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, why don't we go together and investigate?"

Ji Nanbei asked this question.

Zhang Qingmiao nodded with a smile.

Even if Ji Nanbei didn't say it, she would have brought it up.

How could Zhang Qingmiao not join in the fun?

So the two of them went directly to the riverbank where the eagle fell.

The opening time of these secret realms is extremely random.

Having decided to come, I naturally arrived early to wait for them.

Time flows on.

I must say, the scenery of Zhuiying River is truly beautiful.

Moreover, the Zhuiying River is extremely wide and stretches as far as the eye can see.

The rushing river seemed to roar.

It was quite spectacular.

Looking at the Fallen Eagle River, Ji Nanbei understood why some people would be inspired by the river and gain enlightenment.

Such a natural wonder is truly breathtaking.

However, Ji Nanbei then thought of Kaijiang Yijian.

Is this thing, the Eagle River, really something a human could split open?!

Moreover, it was a sword strike that cut through the river to the bottom, truly achieving the feat of cutting water with a single stroke.

Tsk.

So terrifying.

The Zhuiying River was so long that Ji Nanbei and Zhang Qingmiao were on the riverbank, but there was no one around them.

Heng Lixuan and most of the people from Tianji Sect were also at the Zhuiying River at this time.

They're just not in the same place.

However, the Heavenly Mystery Sect could only calculate that the Heavenly Secret Realm appeared by the Falling Eagle River; they could not calculate any more detailed information.

When the secret realm of heaven and earth opens, it will naturally cause fluctuations in the surrounding spiritual energy.

Although the Yingjiang River is large, Ji Nanbei and the others are still incredibly fast.

So as long as you're near the Zhuiying River, there shouldn't be any major problems.

However, because there was hardly anyone around.

Ji Nanbei's ears are going to suffer.

Zhang Qingmiao also didn't mind the fatigue.

The conversation never stopped from beginning to end.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Ji, do you have a Daoist partner? I heard that you even rejected the most beautiful courtesan at the Misty Rain Pavilion, only asking for rouge and face powder. Although it was for your senior sister, this act shows your self-discipline."

Ji Nanbei remained silent when asked the question.

Well, I'm not exactly that virtuous.

"I don't have a Daoist partner yet, but I should have one in a while."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qingmiao immediately became interested.

"Oh!? Fellow Daoist Ji is so confident? You already have a woman you like? Who is she? That's right, Fellow Daoist Ji is so handsome and has such outstanding talent, it's rare to find a woman in the world who can refuse him."

Ji Nanbei nodded.

"It's Xiao Jingxi."

"So it was Shao... Ah? Ah!?"

Zhang Qingmiao didn't react for a moment, and when she turned to look at Ji Nanbei, she was dumbfounded.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, who are you talking about? Is it Xiao Jingxi, the one I know? The Little Sword Immortal of the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect?"

Ji Nanbei nodded with a smile.

"That's right, Immortal Spirit Sword Sect, Little Sword Immortal, Xiao Jingxi. After the Cultivation World Grand Competition, the two of us will become Daoist partners."

Zhang Qingmiao gasped.

She felt that whatever Ji Nanbei said about anyone was reasonable.

After all, Ji Nanbei's personal charm is undeniable; he's practically a heartthrob for girls and hard to resist.

However, Xiao Jingxi was the only one.

Zhang Qingmiao's few friends.

Zhang Qingmiao knew a little about Xiao Jingxi.

That woman doesn't seem like the type to fall for a man at all.

Have you heard of the rumors in the cultivation world? Have you heard of the extremely aloof little sword immortal?

Zhang Qingmiao was stunned for a long time before cautiously asking:

"Fellow Daoist Ji, are you... very familiar with Jingxi?"

Ji Nanbei shook his head.

"I don't know him."

Zhang Qingmiao: ? ? ?

What nonsense are you spouting if you don't even know me?!

Zhang Qingmiao patted Ji Nanbei on the shoulder and shook her head with a sigh.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, I advise you to give up on Jingxi and find another target. It's not that I look down on you, Fellow Daoist Ji, but... Jingxi is a complicated person. Have you heard the rumors in the cultivation world?"
