The two walked side by side and soon came across a hillside full of vegetation. Their eyes were fixed on the hinterland at the end of the slope.

It was a dilapidated bluestone square covered with moss and filled with thick moisture, but what really caught the eye was the huge bluestone altar in the center of the square that was like a space tunnel. The stone circle on the altar was shining with a dazzling silver light, and the silver runes on it were surging with exaggerated spatial power.

However, in the square of the central altar, several stone pillars reaching into the sky stood there, shining with various colors of light, but without exception, the power of "Tao" appeared in them.

“Is this the former dragon secret realm?”

Lin Ran shouted in surprise. He was a little worried about his son's future. Would his son be able to get a place as a disciple of the Sword Sect and become stronger in this secret realm? Would their Linghua Academy be able to break the previous record?

"It's getting more and more exciting!" Lin Ran thought secretly as he stared at the huge altar in the center.

……

148. Official Stationing

Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing searched the top of the mountain in tacit understanding.

"I didn't expect that we are actually the first team to arrive here!" Lin Ran kicked the stones at his feet and said with some surprise while looking at the deserted ruins square.

Shangguan Mengqing took a look at the huge altar in the center. In the stone circle on the altar, there surged a powerful sealing force and spatial force, and the crooked runes on it surged with a strong "Tao" aura.

She retracted her gaze, patted Lin Ran beside her, and said, "Go back and pick them up!"

"it is good!"

Lin Ran nodded.

The two of them tapped the ground a few times and then disappeared into the distance.

At the foot of the cliff, Yue Lei and Elder Heng were chatting, occasionally looking up at the top of the cliff, obviously discussing when Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing would be able to come down from there.

The disciples and students who came on this trip were also talking to each other, helping each other along the way. In addition, everyone had good personalities, so even if they could not become close friends, they were still good friends.

They sat together in groups of three or four, including Fu Yuemei and her group, where there were quite a few female disciples from the Tianshan Sword Sect.

Tianshan Sword School also recruits men, but the situation is similar to Linghua Academy, with the majority of disciples being female. As they are of the same gender, naturally, the two sides get along better.

At this time, their small team was discussing that if they performed well in this secret realm, they would be able to enter the super sect.

Chi Si Nian was a little surprised when she heard that if the Tianshan Sword Sect performed well, they would all be admitted to the Sword Sect. She said, "It's great that you can join the Sword Sect. It's not like us who work so hard but may not be able to enter the eyes of those super sects!"

The treatment given to those in affiliated sects and those from outside is indeed different.

“They are all the same!”

The person who was speaking was Mo Qingyi, the strongest person from the Tianshan Sword Sect who was participating in the secret realm. At a young age, he had the strength of an eighth-star in the Lingdan Realm.

Mo Qingyi pointed to the top of the cliff, and then whispered: "Those of us who are kings and are praised as geniuses in our own sects, when we go to the wider world and see people like Miss Shangguan, we will find that the talents we are proud of are nothing more than that."

"When we go to the Sword Sect, we will still be ordinary and unknown disciples. The only difference is that we are the most prominent ones in the Sword Sect!"

Everyone sighed at the same time, and the atmosphere became a little stagnant for a moment.

"call!"

A sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded, and everyone looked towards the steep cliff. Two figures jumped down from the top of the cliff and landed lightly on the ground.

"There's no danger up there, you can go up without worries!"

Lin Ran walked up to Yue Lei and Elder Heng and said.

"Okay, I'd like to try out the power of this restriction!" Yue Lei said, rubbing his hands.

Just now he saw Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing being so relaxed. His strength was about the same as theirs, so it should be easy for him to climb up!

"Boy, be careful. This restriction is quite powerful!" Lin Ran patted Yue Lei on the shoulder and persuaded him.

The reason why he could be so relaxed was that the two hearts in his chest played a big role in strengthening his body all the time. Although he didn't know his current physical strength, he felt that he could compete with those warriors who specialized in physical training, even those of special races.

"Just wait and see, Lin Ran, I will definitely be faster than you!" Yue Lei couldn't help but say something harsh.

Men always have an inexplicable desire to compete at times like this.

Lin Ran smiled helplessly. Practice makes perfect. Soon, that brat Yue Lei will know how powerful I am.

Lin Ran returned to Linghua Academy and looked at Fu Yuemei and the others and couldn't help but smile: "Whoever of you gets there first will be rewarded with a few bottles of pills carefully prepared by your teacher Qianyi!"

Xiao Zhuang mustered up his courage, raised his hand and shouted: "Mr. Lin, it's the Gathering Spirit Pill from time to time. If it's the Gathering Spirit Pill, I will show my true strength!"

Lin Ran's expression darkened, and he pretended to be angry and said, "You are a kid. You may not be very strong, but you have great ambitions. If you can get a good ranking in the secret realm, I will let the academy reward you with a Soul Gathering Pill."

"As for now... just climb up honestly!" Lin Ran pointed at the cliff and shouted sternly.

"Yes!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

The neat and loud voices, as well as the fierce momentum that came from them, scared the other two parties.

Yue Lei was just thinking of something to say to encourage the bastards on his side, and was also attracted by the movement over there by Lin Ran. He muttered in his heart: "Is this kid training these kids like soldiers? This movement..."

Perhaps seeing that Lin Ran promised elixirs to motivate his disciples, Tianshan Sword Sect and Songling Academy were unwilling to be outdone. What was supposed to be a rock climbing event turned into a three-way competition.

Mulan even volunteered to be a referee. When the countdown sounded, dozens of young people climbed up the cliff. Yue Lei also climbed together with the students, so that if there was any danger, they could provide timely rescue.

But as soon as he touched the cliff, the pressure exerted on him made his expression somewhat moved.

Before, everyone had seen Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing climb up so easily, and they all had a psychological attitude of "it's nothing special". But now, after experiencing it personally, they realized how terrifying the pressure exerted by the restrictions above is.

Fu Yuemei also climbed up for a distance, then found a landing point where only one toe could stand, took a rest, and then climbed up again. She repeated this process, using this safe method, but the clothes on the back of Fu Yuemei were soaked with sweat and her breathing was rapid.

Even Fu Yuemei, who was at the Lingdan realm, was like this, let alone the others. To everyone at this moment, it was no exaggeration to say that this cliff, which was over fifty meters high, was an insurmountable barrier.

The first person to climb up was not surprising. She was Mo Qingyi from the Tianshan Sword Sect. She had the strength of a seventh or eighth star in the Spiritual Pill Realm, so it was normal for her to be the first to climb up.

However, many people fell down halfway up the climb because of a mistake or exhaustion. At this time, Yue Lei would step forward to rescue them and send the disciple or student down to rest.

Perhaps after seeing one person fall, many more people followed suit and fell down.

"What do you think? Do you believe that my team can climb up on their own?" Lin Ran glanced at the cliff and then sent a message to Meng Qing.

"I believe!"

Shangguan Mengqing responded without any hesitation.

This made Lin Ran stop talking. You believe me, what else can I say? Do you want me to finish the rest of my words?

Lin Ran had no choice but to put his hands into his sleeves like an old man and watch the children climbing on the cliff.

Shangguan Mengqing glanced at Lin Ran, and seeing Lin Ran's deflated look, a smile flashed in her eyes.

Huang Shishi was also sitting on a big rock not far away, watching, and occasionally looking towards his junior sister. When he found that his junior sister was always flirting with Vice President Lin, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and a scary idea appeared in his mind.

"They wouldn't really..."

But Huang Shishi quickly shook off his ridiculous idea. He understood his junior sister's character. She was so cold and polite to everyone, but her words contained a coldness that kept people at a distance. She was so indifferent to him, whom she had known since childhood, let alone others.

"So this must be an illusion, an illusion... They are just friends who have worked together before and have a decent relationship!"

Huang Shishi shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Instead, he continued to look at the group of students on the cliff.

What was quite surprising was that out of dozens of people, most of them managed to climb up in the end. Some of them fainted when they reached the top, but they still made it up in the end.

It is worth mentioning that no one from Lin Ran’s Linghua Academy fell behind, and they all climbed up. Some of them were not even at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, only around the seven-star level, but they still climbed up.

Even Mulan couldn't help but sigh: "The kids that Mr. Lin is bringing up are really amazing. I feel a little ashamed of myself!"

"Why don't you come to our Linghua Academy for further studies!" Lin Ran teased.

Mulan smiled and shook her head, saying, "No, no, I am a rough person like me, used to being free, and I feel uncomfortable in the academy where rules are followed."

"That's such a pity!" Lin Ran smiled.

After experiencing the pressure of the cliff, Yue Lei no longer mentioned competing with Lin Ran, and it seemed as if he had never brought it up.

Lin Ran didn't chase after Yue Lei and shout, it was not a big deal.

The remaining students thought about trying again, and finally succeeded. Shangguan Mengqing also took Mulan up, and Lin Ran also took Mu Shishuang, and they also officially stationed near this secret realm.

Lin Ran even hoped that the people behind him would come here quickly, especially the Shengqiong Academy that had been secretly obstructing them and the Qin family that had been aiding and abetting them.

The greater the losses of these two gangs, the better. Although it is unlikely, this is just a small wish in Lin Ran's heart!

Perhaps Lin Ran's urgent thought came true. They entered the Qianlong Secret Realm and camped there for a few days. One day at noon, they were under the shade of a tree near the cliff.

Lin Ran was looking at the scenery in the distance. There was tea on the tea table. Mu Shishuang was leaning against a big tree beside her like a maid. Seeing that Lin Ran's cup was empty, she quickly filled it up.

Seeing Mu Shishuang like this, Lin Ran was used to it. He couldn't stop her by shouting, so what could he do? Just let her come!

In a place like this, those with weak spiritual energy cannot practice at all, and there is nothing important to do.

We were in a hurry to travel before, but now we have arrived ahead of time, so we have nothing to do. I can only sit here every day, drink tea and look at the ancient forest around. Maybe I can find another relic?

Just after taking a sip of tea, Lin Ran looked towards the cliff. When he saw some figures moving over there, he quickly took out his telescope and looked over there.

When he saw several familiar figures among them, Lin Ran couldn't help but smile brightly.

"This time the protagonist is here!"

……

149. Arrival of the Three Academy

There was still a distance of about 100 meters to the Qianlong Secret Realm. The Qin family member who was leading the way turned around and said confidently: "Dear Deans, the Qianlong Secret Realm is ahead. We didn't encounter any danger along the way, which shows that our Qin family's intelligence investigation is still good..."

Unfortunately, the deans of the three academies, Canglong, Shengqiong and Tianli, did not want to pay much attention to the guide from the Qin family. They kept leading them into the pit from the ancient battlefield. Some students were even seriously injured and had to be carried forward by others.

When they entered Qianlong Mountain, they also saw that there were people walking ahead of them and even clearing out most of the dangers. They actually regarded these as their own achievements, which was a bit shameless.

The guide smiled awkwardly and continued to lead the way. He knew that this time the Qin family really led a large group of people into the trap. He hoped that the large army of the super sect led by the Qin family behind would be able to discover this in time.

After traveling for so long, Lin Chong was also covered in dust and covered in grass debris, like a wild man. He came to Dean Wenling and asked in a low voice: "Dean, do you think the people walking ahead of us are my father and his friends?"

Wen Ling nodded and said, "It's possible. Your father and his companions took a different path from us at first. They must have discovered the danger. It's possible that he entered Qianlong Mountain faster than us and reached the Qianlong Secret Realm."

Speaking of this, Wen Ling felt somewhat remorseful. If he had chosen to go with Lin Ran and the others, perhaps the students in his team would not have been seriously injured in the ancient battlefield!

Lin Chong was not a reckless boy. With Ye Qingyi's teaching and influence, he noticed the slight depression in the dean's tone. He comforted him, "Dean, didn't you say that there is still some time before the secret realm opens? They will definitely recover!"

"You little brat, you're trying to comfort me. If you can achieve good results in this secret realm, it will be the best consolation for me!" Wen Ling patted Lin Chong on the shoulder and scolded with a smile.

"That's for sure!"

Lin Chong patted his chest.

Their large group soon arrived at the cliff of Qianlong Secret Realm. It might be a little unfamiliar to others, but to the Qin Family, Canglong Academy and Shengqiong Academy, it was not unfamiliar. They had concentrated their great forces to explore here before.

Lin Yi from Canglong Academy had also been to this place before. With a calm expression, his eyes were slightly fiery as he looked at the top of the cliff.

Although some problems occurred along the way, they were of no major concern. If their Canglong Academy could seize the treasure in this secret realm and make use of it, in the future Canglong Academy would even be able to advance into the Central Region and become the undisputed number one academy on the continent. That would no longer be a luxury.

No one was in a hurry to climb the cliff. They all knew that there was a team walking ahead of them, and that team might be already at the top.

Lin Yi from Canglong Academy took a step forward, and his voice, empowered by spiritual power, echoed throughout the world: "Teams stationed in Qianlong Secret Realm, can you please come down and see me? I am Lin Yi from Canglong Academy. I promise you, on the reputation of Canglong Academy, that I will never attack you!"

After the words fell, the people below the cliff were waiting for a reply from above. Lin Yi hoped that there was no one up there, as that would save a lot of effort. If the other party was some gang, it would be a bit troublesome to deal with.

"Dean Linyi has guaranteed it with the reputation of Canglong Academy, so of course I believe it!" A voice sounded from above the cliff.

I saw a man in green clothes with an elegant temperament gracefully descending from the top of the cliff. He smiled at Lin Yi and others with a smile as warm as spring breeze, but for some reason, this smile seemed to give people a sense of pride.

"Vice President Lin Ran!"

Lin Yi shouted with a surprised expression.

To be honest, he had thought that Lin Ran and his team would arrive at the Qianlong Secret Realm ahead of time, but he quickly discarded this idea. Lin Ran and Yue Lei were only at the Nirvana Realm, and they had to carry so many burdens with them. The possibility of this happening was too low.

Apart from anything else, when they passed a place in the swamp, it was almost completely destroyed, and the power of sword energy and Tao could still be felt at the scene. Would Lin Ran and his men use swords? According to what he knew, they probably wouldn't, and it was most likely another group of people. But when he really saw Lin Ran, he still felt that his judgment was wrong.

Could it be that Lin Ran and the others are hiding their strength?

Lin Ran came forward and shook Lin Yi's hand, looking at him with a caring attitude, and said: "Dean Lin Yi, with your strength, it shouldn't be a problem to come all the way here. It's really hard for us to walk here, and there are many dangers..."

Lin Yi nodded awkwardly. He always felt that there was something else behind Lin Ran's words, but his Qi-cultivation skills were still good enough, so he managed to deal with Lin Ran.

But the next one, Jin Qiusheng from Shengqiong Academy, was not so well-mannered. When he saw Lin Ran, his expression was as if he had eaten something. Do you know how it feels to play all kinds of tricks and schemes, but in the end, others still take the first place? Jin Qiusheng was like this at this moment.

He was thinking that if Lin Ran came over to greet him, he would choose not to see it, but he didn't expect that Lin Ran simply ignored him and ran towards Dean Wenling. This move made him even more furious.

Wen Ling watched Lin Ran rushing towards him. He also saw the anger in Jin Qiu Sheng's eyes and could not help but warn Lin Ran: "Lin Ran, you have angered Jin Qiu Sheng again. Be careful!"

"It's okay, it's okay. I have a way to deal with it!" Lin Ran responded.
