This month is enough time for him to consolidate his cultivation. After coming out of the secret realm, he can return to Zhongzhou and then go back to the northwest continent through the space wormhole there.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to travel through space for a long time on his own, and it would take an unknown amount of time.

At this time, Medusa, who came out of Canaan College, went back to the Gama Empire to arrange the funeral affairs of her clan, and then went straight to the place where the space was teleported to Zhongzhou to find Xiao Miao.

At this moment, there was a urgency flashing in Medusa's eyes, and her beautiful eyes revealed a deep longing. She came to Zhongzhou just to snatch Xiao Miao back, no matter how hard it would be.

Chapter 152 Opening the Secret Realm

"Dong-dong."

There was a knock on the door. Xiao Miao came out of his practice and dispersed the barrier he had set up around him. Then he stood up and walked outside.

"Sir, our clan leader sent me to inform you."

The disciples in green clothes in front of them looked at Xiao Miao with some trembling. After all, they had seen how he displayed his might a month ago. It was truly terrifying that he alone could eliminate all the high-end combat forces of the Lingyin Sect.

When Xiao Miao heard this, he waved his hand and asked them to leave. Then he walked out alone. He could feel that those people were waiting for him outside.

After seeing Xiao Miao coming out, everyone explained what he meant. He was a middle-aged man with a strong look, and the people leading him were from the Xuanyu Sect.

On the other side, there was a pretty woman with a plump figure. Although she had a young face, she gave people a mature feeling overall.

"My name is Sanshui. I was too busy before. What are your names?"

Xiao Miao shifted his gaze slightly and spoke calmly to the two of them. Since they had no ill will towards him, it would be good if he could make friends with them.

After hearing what Xiao Miao said, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other lightly, appearing a little surprised. They didn't expect his attitude to be so gentle, and there was no contempt in his tone. Although the young man in front of them was young, his strength was terrifying. In this continent where strength is respected, they were all prepared to look down on the young man in front of them.

After they realized what was happening, the two of them stepped forward and spoke in a friendly manner. After all, one more friend is always better than one more enemy. Although they could not necessarily be friends with the young man in front of them, they at least made sure not to offend him, otherwise, the Lingyin Sect would be their past.

"I am Lin Qing, the master of Qingling Valley."

"I am Huang Tianba, the leader of Xuanyu Sect."

After hearing what the two said, Xiao Miao nodded and then flew towards the outside of Xuanbing City under the guidance of the two.

Following behind him were the elders and disciples of the two major sects. The group of people was so huge that it seemed they were going to an expedition.

However, the disciples of the Lingyin Sect who were hiding and scattered around the city were in a dilemma when they saw this scene. Should they follow or stay in the city?

If they followed him, not to mention whether the young man would kill them all, even if he let them enter the secret realm, the sect master and the elders would all die. Now the two major sects were going to work together to open the secret realm and had no intention of taking care of them. But if they went in, the Dou Zong elders of the other two major sects would also follow in. Then wouldn't they be at the mercy of others?

For a moment, everyone turned their eyes to the leading eldest brother, who frowned as he looked at the gazes of everyone, then gritted his teeth and said with a sigh.

"Those who want to go can go on their own, and those who don't want to go can leave."

Although he couldn't let go of the opportunity in this secret realm, when he thought of the death threat brought to him by that terrifying young man, this opportunity was nothing in his eyes. If it weren't for the Dou Zong elder who attracted hatred for him, he would probably have died under his fist.

The disciples looked at their own sect, which was no longer in name only, and the remaining leaders of the sect said the same thing. They dispersed one after another at once. Even if there was no annexation by the other two major sects, people would probably be in a panic and would disperse in no time.

However, there are still some disciples who cannot let go of the opportunity in the secret realm and want to fight for it for the rest of their lives, without thinking about their own weak strength at all.

At this time, Xiao Miao followed the two of them and came to a basin, but there was a constant stream of cold air around them.

After the two of them reached their destination, they turned around and hesitated for a moment before saying to Xiao Miao:

"This secret realm requires a huge amount of Dou Qi to be input at one time, and it requires three Dou Zun to work together to open it. In the past, it was done by the three sect masters, but now."

Xiao Miao couldn't help but look a little embarrassed when he heard this. He also understood what the two said. The remaining one was killed by him before, and now he might have to make up for it. After thinking for a while, he said:

"Does this need to be maintained all the time, or can it be turned on once?"

This was also the issue that Xiao Miao was most concerned about. After all, if it only needed to be opened for a moment, he could naturally make up for it. But if it needed to be maintained all the time, he would not do this hard labor. Although the leader of the Lingyin Sect was killed by him, he was the one who started it first. If he had to do free hard labor, he would rather everyone present return with nothing.

When the two heard what Xiao Miao said, they knew what he was worried about.

Lin Qing couldn't help but smile slightly, took a few steps forward, and said softly to Xiao Miao:

"Don't worry, this secret realm will automatically maintain itself once it is opened, and it will not continue to absorb our fighting spirit. However, it will only last for a year at most, and then it will automatically close. If we don't get out in time, I'm afraid we will stay inside forever until the next time it is opened."

When Xiao Miao heard this, he couldn't help but ponder for a while, and nodded in agreement. If what this person said was true, it would be great, but if it was false, he would naturally kill the two of them with lightning speed.

Seeing that Xiao Miao agreed, the two of them felt relieved. After all, if they had disagreed at the beginning, they would definitely not be able to open the secret realm today by themselves.

Lin Qing took out a dark green jade plate from the ring, and then the plate slowly floated up in the air. Seeing this, the two of them nodded to Xiao Miao, then circulated their fighting spirit and input it into the jade plate.

As the three people's fighting spirit was slowly input, the jade plate also began to rotate slightly. At the same time, the space a thousand meters away from the original location slowly cracked, and a huge gap quietly emerged.

At this time, the two people opposite Xiao Miao were observing carefully. Due to the huge output of their fighting spirit, sweat had already appeared on their faces. However, seeing that the young man in front of them did not show any sign of weakness, they could not help but be shocked in their hearts, wondering how huge his fighting spirit was.

However, the two of them did not know that at this moment, Xiao Miao was relying on the Dou Qi within "Remembering You" to continuously transfer the Dou Qi that he had previously stored into the jade plate in front of him.

As the time of an incense stick passed, the jade plate in front of him stopped rotating, and the space crack not far away also stabilized at this time. There was no longer the turbulence in the space around it just now, and it was obviously completely stabilized.

The three of them at this time also cut off their input of Dou Qi, and then two Dou Zongs came to Huang Tianba and Lin Qing. Obviously, they wanted to prevent others from taking advantage of the period when the Dou Qi of the two was weak. However, Xiao Miao did not act rashly at this time.

Chapter 153: Cold Spring

Looking at Xiao Miao's motionless look, the two couldn't help but smile. The young man in front of them was not only powerful, but also seemed to be meticulous. Even at this point, they were still worried.

"Let the leading elder take them in first."

At this time, Lin Qing spoke weakly to the person next to him.

Xiao Miao looked at a large group of people below who were being led towards the space crack in the distance. The number of them was much larger than before. It seemed that there were people from small sects and schools who also wanted to go in and look for opportunities.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qing and Huang Tianba smiled at Xiao Miao in a friendly manner. After nodding, Xiao Miao also flew towards the gap in space.

Arriving in front of the space crack, Xiao Miao looked at it carefully for a while, and after making sure that there was not much space disturbance, he stepped in.

As a slight feeling of dizziness came over him, the scenery in front of him had already changed, but to his surprise, the environment in front of him was not as harsh as he had imagined, but the scenery was beautiful. This feeling gave Xiao Miao the feeling that it was not a secret place for fighting and training, but rather an ancient world of an ancient tribe where people could live.

Xiao Miao was thinking in his mind and couldn't help but frowned. At the same time, he sensed the surroundings. There were not too many people nearby. It seemed that their locations would be dispersed after being teleported in. However, this did not matter to Xiao Miao. He came in alone anyway. Not to mention the magical beasts hidden in it, there were no people who could pose a threat to him among the people who came in. However, he was still very alert, fearing that there would be something unexpected in this secret realm.

Xiao Miao took out a map from the ring, but it was very rough, with only a part of the outer periphery, and no details about the inner periphery. This was something he had taken from the people of Lingyin Sect before. He had thought that it would be useful after entering the secret realm, but looking at the herbs on the outer periphery, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Although they could be worth a good price in the outside world, they were not of much value to him now.

Xiao Miao looked at the surrounding terrain and carefully compared it with the locations on the map. If he wanted to go inward, he would have to go south.

Looking at the direction in front of him, Xiao Miao didn't say anything, but just turned his head silently. Fortunately, the map was taken out early, otherwise he would have to run a longer distance by the time he reacted later. It was not completely useless, at least it pointed out a general direction, otherwise he might have to go around for a while.

Xiao Miao rushed towards the valley in the south. Along the way, he encountered several Douling-level monsters. Anyone who dared to attack him was beaten to pieces by his punch.

The further Xiao Miao walked forward, the stronger the energy fluctuations in the air around him became. He could even faintly sense a strong chill coming from the front.

However, the level of the monsters encountered in this area is getting higher and higher, and they even encountered a Dou Wang level monster on the way. However, this alone does not pose a threat to Xiao Miao.

As we went deeper, the trees nearby became taller and taller, and all we saw was a pool of water. With the naked eye, we could see smoke rising from above.

From a distance, Xiao Miao had the impression that it was a hot spring. Unfortunately, he knew that it was not as simple as it seemed, because the water in front of him was not steaming, but cold. Although it was hard to believe, it was true.

Moreover, in Xiao Miao's perception, there seemed to be some kind of creature hidden in the water, probably at the initial stage of Dou Zong. Although it was well hidden, it could not escape Xiao Miao's powerful soul perception that far exceeded that of the same level.

Xiao Miao quietly circulated his fighting spirit in his body, but on the surface he pretended to be careless and underestimated his enemy, and slowly walked towards the edge of the pond.

Just as Xiao Miao bent down and prepared to scoop a spoonful of spring water, suddenly waves splashed, and the already icy cold water in the pool was lifted up several meters high. A chilly breath rushed towards him. At the same time, a huge creature stretched out from the bottom of the pool. It was a giant python, which opened its fishy mouth and rushed towards Xiao Miao.

However, Xiao Miao had already prepared himself secretly. He dodged the sudden attack with a flash, circulated the fighting spirit in his arms, and punched the snake's body.

"Hiss-hiss."

The snake's body was attacked, and it couldn't help but roar for a moment, which surprised Xiao Miao a little.

He didn't expect that the latter's snake scales had such a high defense. He had wanted to catch the latter off guard and kill him with one blow, but his punch only made a hole and failed to kill him.

At this time, the giant snake was slowly twisting its body by the pool. A hint of human fear seemed to flash in its huge pupils. Then, in front of Xiao Miao's slightly surprised gaze, it spoke in human language.

"Human, stop, what do you want?"

At this moment, Xiao Miao did not expect that the giant snake in front of him had actually awakened his intelligence. Logically speaking, although the monsters in the secret realm are powerful, they are generally of low intelligence. But that's good too. This way there is room for communication. Compared to the map, relying on the monsters surviving in this secret realm, wouldn't it be better to find opportunities?

Xiao Miao thought so in his heart, with a smile on his face, he said slowly:

"So you have gained spiritual wisdom. In that case, how about making a deal?"

Hearing Xiao Miao's words, the giant snake was still twisting its body slowly, occasionally sucking out its long and thin tongue, as if considering it, and then said cautiously:

"What deal?"

"I'll spare your life, and you'll take me to explore this secret place. I'm sure you've lived here for so long, so you should be familiar with the place. How do you think?"

When the giant snake heard the request of the young man in front of it, it couldn't help but feel a chill. He actually used its life in exchange for a deal. However, feeling the injuries on its body, it was afraid of the human in front of it. If it wasn't for being calculated, this human was really cunning!

When the giant snake in front of him kept moving, Xiao Miao thought it disagreed, and he couldn't help but frowned. A strong aura burst out from his body. He had underestimated its defense just now, so he retracted his strength. Even if the giant snake in front of him didn't know what was good for him, he would kill it and then explore alone.

At this moment, the giant snake could not help but tremble when it felt the strong aura of the young man in front of it. A trace of shock flashed in its eyes. The young man's attack just now was not at full strength. After thinking again and again, it lowered its proud snake head, swallowed its snake core, and said reluctantly:

"Okay, I agree, but I can only take you to the inner area. I only know the entrance to the passage, but it is guarded by a barrier formation. I have never entered it in all these years. You can only rely on yourself from now on."

The giant snake in front of him leaned down and spoke to Xiao Miao. When he mentioned the barrier, there was some regret in his eyes.

Chapter 154: Floating Mountain

"What's going on with this spring water? Why is it emitting cold air?"

At this moment, Xiao Miao stretched out his hand and touched the water, which was freezing cold. He asked while chasing the giant snake beside him.

"Hiss~ There is an ice lotus at the bottom of this pond, which continuously produces cold air. However, I have almost absorbed all the energy in it over the years. I am afraid that the cold air will disappear completely soon."

The giant snake swayed its body, with a hint of pride in its tone.

Hearing the giant snake's words, Xiao Miao glanced at it indifferently and didn't pay too much attention to it. In his perception, there was indeed an energy fluctuation at the bottom of the pool, but it was a little weak. It must be because the energy was almost absorbed by the giant snake.

Moreover, this coldness was much weaker than his enhanced fighting spirit, so there was no need to go to great lengths for it.

"Just keep moving forward, and I will clear the obstacles around you."

Xiao Miao took advantage of the giant snake's unpreparedness, flipped onto its body, stood on the snake's head, and spoke lightly. At the same time, the soul power in his body suddenly flashed away and explored the surroundings.

The giant python was a little annoyed when it saw Xiao Miao standing on it, but suddenly a huge soul power spread out from the young man above its head, which made it feel frightened. Although it was also at the Dou Zong level, it could feel that the soul power of this young man was far superior to its own. The snake head that was originally raised slightly lowered slightly, and its body twisted and crawled forward, but at an extremely fast speed.
