35: Enter the secret realm

Night turned to day.

Soon, it was the morning of the next day.

Under the watchful eyes of the entire Gu Family, Night Owl and the others were taken by Niu Bi and Shang Tian, and took flight.

They headed towards the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range.

After a short flight, the group arrived at the Secret Realm's activation point.

This was a barren valley, devoid of trees or weeds, resembling a desolate wasteland.

Currently, a large number of cultivators who had come to gain experience and search for treasures were gathered near the valley.

They gathered in small groups, waiting for the Secret Realm to open.

"Senior Brother Gu, is this the Secret Realm we are going to train in this time?"

"Where is the Secret Realm? Why can't I see it?"

Mu Xueqing and Qin Fei'er asked Gu Chen, their faces full of confusion.

There were only people everywhere, and the Secret Realm Gu Chen spoke of was nowhere to be seen.

Night Owl, however, did not share this confusion.

He happily surveyed the cultivators around the valley.

These people were all his potential customers.

"Junior Sisters, don't worry, the Secret Realm hasn't opened yet." Gu Chen chuckled and began introducing the history of the Secret Realm to the two girls.

This Secret Realm is called the Desolate Secret Realm.

It is a Secret Realm controlled by the Yuntian Sect.

It received this name because the surroundings of the valley look very desolate.

Legend has it that this is a lost space.

Every hundred years, it overlaps with the space of the Canglan Continent, allowing for a brief opening.

Inside, Demonic Beasts run rampant, Natural Treasures are countless, and many Venerable Realm level treasures can be found.

Of course, the danger level is also very high.

Every time it opens, a large number of cultivators perish.

Moreover, because the space of the Secret Realm is extremely unstable.

The Yuntian Sect stipulates that cultivators entering each time must be below Heaven Soul Peak.

But any Rogue Cultivator can enter to explore.

The treasures obtained can be freely used and do not need to be handed over to the Yuntian Sect.

"Look quickly, the space over there is starting to change, the Secret Realm is about to open."

Just as Gu Chen was introducing the Secret Realm to Mu Xueqing and Qin Fei'er.

Someone near the valley shouted.

Instantly, everyone's gaze turned toward the direction of the valley entrance.

They saw the space there beginning to crack inch by inch, and a gray, hazy vortex slowly expanding.

In less than a moment.

It turned into a large vortex, dozens of meters wide and long.

"Haha, brothers and sisters, charge! Go quickly and find treasures!"

"Charge, charge, charge, charge!"

A large group of Rogue Cultivators, seeing that the Secret Realm vortex had stabilized, quickly rushed toward the vortex.

It seemed as if whoever rushed into the Secret Realm first would obtain a large amount of treasure.

"Hmph, a bunch of rabble. If we didn't need you as cannon fodder, you wouldn't even be qualified to enter the Secret Realm."

Near the valley.

The disciples of the Yuntian Sect preparing to enter the Secret Realm.

Looked at the Rogue Cultivators who rushed in first with mockery.

Their Yuntian Sect would not be so kind as to share their Secret Realm with others.

The reason they let these Rogue Cultivators enter.

Was to have them help search for treasures and serve as cannon fodder.

Because no matter how many treasures the Rogue Cultivators found inside.

As long as they encountered the disciples, they would be killed and robbed of their treasures.

Moreover, if they encountered dangerous areas inside, they could even capture these Rogue Cultivators to scout the path—truly killing two birds with one stone.

This is also why a large number of cultivators perish every time the Secret Realm opens.

A large portion of them were killed by the Yuntian Sect.

Of course, they would also leave a few lucky individuals to come out with treasures.

Otherwise, who would dare to enter their Yuntian Sect's Secret Realm next time?

"Senior Brother Gu, the Secret Realm has opened, let's hurry and go in too." Mu Xueqing said to Gu Chen.

Night Owl and Qin Fei'er did not speak.

However, their eyes were also fixed on Gu Chen.

As long as Gu Chen led the way, they would follow him into the Secret Realm.

"Yes, Senior Brother Ye, Junior Sisters."

"We must agree on this first: the dangers inside the Secret Realm are unknown. After entering, you cannot separate from me, or if something happens, I won't be able to explain it to Master." Gu Chen said slowly, looking at the three of them.

This time, he was the Leader.

Once inside the Secret Realm, Niu Bi and Shang Tian would not be able to protect them either.

They could only rely on themselves to resolve any danger they encountered.

Therefore, only by sticking together could the four of them minimize the danger.

"We know, Senior Brother Gu."

Mu Xueqing and Qin Fei'er nodded obediently.

"Let's go, let's go. You brat, you're getting more and more long-winded. The four of us teaming up can just slaughter our way through the entire Secret Realm."

Night Owl said this and walked toward the Secret Realm entrance.

"Junior Sisters, hurry and follow."

Gu Chen called out to the two girls and quickly caught up with Night Owl.

"Heh heh, the time for the hunt has arrived."

Watching all the Rogue Cultivators enter the Secret Realm.

The disciples of the Yuntian Sect revealed bloodthirsty smiles and slowly stepped into the Secret Realm.

Their biggest trial was killing people and seizing treasures.

Inside the Secret Realm.

Gu Chen and the three others appeared in a huge forest.

Trees stood tall here, each dozens to hundreds of meters high.

The surrounding trees and the ground were covered with various low-grade Natural Treasures, making it feel as if one were immersed in an ocean of treasures.

"Wow, so many low-grade Natural Treasures."

As soon as Qin Fei'er landed, she began wildly picking the Spiritual Herbs and Spiritual Fruits filling the forest.

She was having a great time.

Night Owl, meanwhile, scanned the surroundings, wondering if there were any potential customers.

"Junior Sister Qin, why are you picking these low-grade things?" Seeing Qin Fei'er only picking Spiritual Items below the Heavenly Soul Realm, Mu Xueqing couldn't help but ask.

They had no use for these items, and selling them wouldn't even fetch a few Spirit Stones.

Besides, given the cultivation environment of the Qingtian Sect, they didn't need these low-grade Spiritual Items.

"Senior Sister Mu, I don't need these things, but my family does! When my father comes to the Qingtian Sect, I'll have him take these back for the family members to use," Qin Fei'er replied while picking.

Her father is now the Head of the Qin Family.

Furthermore, she had informed her father to bring the eligible younger generation members of the family to the Qingtian Sect to participate in the disciple selection test.

In that case, regardless of whether they were selected or not.

Her father wouldn't have to return empty-handed.

"Uh, alright, I'll help you." Mu Xueqing was stunned for a moment, then joined the ranks of collecting low-grade Natural Treasures.

The two of them were like harvesting machines.

Leaving no treasure behind in their path.
