58: Can you beat your junior brother?

Three hundred miles east of the Evergreen Sect, there was a majestic mountain.

Within this mountain, there was a Secret Realm, which was none other than the Luofeng Secret Realm.

Seeing that the entrance to the Luofeng Secret Realm had not yet opened, Lu Zifeng's expression was incredibly solemn.

In just these seven days, he had progressed by another minor Realm and officially made a Breakthrough into the Middle Stage of Core Formation.

After all, entering the Luofeng Secret Realm was extremely dangerous, so it was naturally better to be stronger.

There was only one condition for entering the Luofeng Secret Realm: one had to have reached the Core Formation Realm and be under six hundred years of age.

However, the Luofeng Secret Realm didn't just have requirements for the Core Formation Realm; it even contained terrifying Great Beasts of the Spirit Infant Realm.

If not for the numerous Opportunities within the Luofeng Secret Realm, it was likely that no Cultivators would enter it at all.

When Qin Wangnian arrived leading Dai Wuyou and Lu Zifeng, they saw many Elders from various forces already resting nearby with their respective Disciples, waiting to enter the Luofeng Secret Realm as soon as it opened.

"Junior Martial Brother, once you enter the Luofeng Secret Realm, I'll have to trouble you to look after your Third Martial Brother more."

Qin Wangnian instructed Lu Zifeng.

Hearing this, Dai Wuyou's eyes widened in disbelief, and he quickly retorted.

"Eldest Martial Brother, I'm the strongest one. Shouldn't I be the one looking after Junior Martial Brother?"

Qin Wangnian gave Dai Wuyou a sidelong glance and then spoke, "Don't you have any self-awareness at all?"

"Even though you've Cultivated to Peak Core Formation, you're not as mature and steady as a child."

"Although Junior Martial Brother is younger than you, he is much more mature and steady."

"Besides, even if you were to fight Junior Martial Brother right now, you might not necessarily be his match."

Seeing this, Dai Wuyou fell silent.

Seven days ago, after learning that Lu Zifeng had made a Breakthrough into the Core Formation Realm and being teased by Second Martial Sister, he had impulsively dragged Lu Zifeng into a sparring session.

He had originally thought that as a Peak Core Formation Cultivator, beating his Junior Martial Brother at the Early Stage of Core Formation would be easy.

But he never expected it to be a narrow victory; if Junior Martial Brother hadn't run out of Qi at the end, he might have been the one to lose.

Therefore, seeing that his Junior Martial Brother had now made a Breakthrough into the Middle Stage of Core Formation, Dai Wuyou really wasn't sure he could win.

What Dai Wuyou didn't know was that Lu Zifeng had only done this to give his Third Martial Brother some Face; otherwise, he could have easily defeated him even at the Early Stage of Core Formation.

After all, Lu Zifeng was at the Void Refining Peak in his previous life and was a Prodigy with an Immortal-Grade Spiritual Root. Thus, even though he had only just made a Breakthrough into the Early Stage of Core Formation, he possessed power far exceeding that Realm.

At that moment, the seal on the Luofeng Secret Realm broke open in the distance. Seeing this, the surrounding Cultivators swarmed forward and rushed into the Luofeng Secret Realm.

Seeing this, Qin Wangnian's expression became solemn as he gave his instructions.

"Go on, and remember to be careful."

"Yes!"

With that, Dai Wuyou and Lu Zifeng rushed toward the entrance of the Luofeng Secret Realm together and disappeared from Qin Wangnian's sight.

An hour later, the Luofeng Secret Realm closed; it would not open again for another half a month.

Seeing this, Qin Wangnian planned to find a place to wait for half a month before taking his Third Junior Brother and the other back.

But just then, Qin Wangnian's heart suddenly jolted, and his expression changed.

Feeling the surging aura within his body, his expression turned somewhat grim.

"Is it actually happening now?"

"Fine, since the time is ripe, I'll find a place to Breakthrough to the Void Refining Realm first."

After saying that, Qin Wangnian's figure flickered and he disappeared.

The Realm bottleneck in his body had loosened, and he was about to make a Breakthrough to the Void Refining Realm.

Meanwhile, inside the Luofeng Secret Realm.

After a bout of intense dizziness, Dai Wuyou and Lu Zifeng stepped onto solid ground once more.

After entering the Secret Realm, the two of them finally let go of each other's hands.

The Luofeng Secret Realm was a random Secret Realm; entering it would result in being randomly teleported to some location within. There was no fixed exit, and one would only be teleported out when the Secret Realm closed.

To avoid being separated, they had to be linked together upon entry to be teleported to the same place.

"Third Martial Brother, so where should we go next?"

After entering, Lu Zifeng looked at Dai Wuyou and asked.

Although the Eldest Martial Brother had told the Third Martial Brother to listen to him, Lu Zifeng still chose to respect his Third Martial Brother, remembering how much he had looked after him in his previous life.

Hearing this, Dai Wuyou was taken aback, and then a look of satisfaction appeared on his Face.

"Not bad, Junior Martial Brother, you have good discernment."

After saying that, Dai Wuyou took out a map from his storage ring.

The Luofeng Secret Realm had been open for a long time, so Cultivators had long since mapped it out and sold the maps to major forces at high prices.

It wasn't surprising that the Evergreen Sect had a map of the Luofeng Secret Realm.

After identifying their current location, Dai Wuyou thought for a moment and then pointed to the map.

"Let's go to Heaven Peak Mountain. Very little of Heaven Peak Mountain has been explored, so there are more Opportunities there."

Hearing this, Lu Zifeng couldn't help but palm his forehead.

He had previously been curious about how someone with the strength of Peak Core Formation like his Third Martial Brother could die in the Luofeng Secret Realm, but he hadn't expected it to be because he went to Heaven Peak Mountain.

One must know that although Heaven Peak Mountain was little explored, the dangers within were not trivial.

There were many Nascent Soul Great Beasts, and it was even said that there were several Divine Ability Great Beasts.

"Ahem, Third Martial Brother, how about we forget about that? Heaven Peak Mountain is far too dangerous. Let's go to Starfall Lake instead."

Lu Zifeng pointed to another spot on the map and spoke with a firm tone.

For no other reason than the Great Sage Legacy being located within Starfall Lake.

Even if Dai Wuyou said no, he would have found an excuse to go to Starfall Lake.

Hearing that they were going to Starfall Lake, Dai Wuyou looked puzzled; he clearly didn't know why they would go there.

"Junior Martial Brother, let's forget about Starfall Lake. Although the resources in the Luofeng Secret Realm refresh randomly every time it opens, Starfall Lake is notoriously barren. Countless Cultivators have gone there and found no Opportunities."

Dai Wuyou tried to dissuade his Junior Martial Brother, but Lu Zifeng's mind was made up.

He shook his head with a serious expression.

"Third Martial Brother, it is precisely because Starfall Lake is notoriously barren that I want to go."

"Think about it, when things are abnormal, there must be a reason. Why is it that the resources in other parts of the Luofeng Secret Realm are similar, but only Starfall Lake is barren?"

"Therefore, in my view, there must be something hidden within Starfall Lake, and that secret is just waiting for us to discover it."

Hearing this, Dai Wuyou eventually couldn't win against his Junior Martial Brother and agreed with a sigh.

However, in his heart, he was thinking that he would first follow his Junior Martial Brother's wishes and go to Starfall Lake, and if they couldn't find anything after five days, it wouldn't be too late to head to Heaven Peak Mountain.
