137: Chapter 137 Compass Tracking

"Grandfather, Junior Martial Uncle, this grandson pays respects." Han Lingjun walked up and respectfully saluted the two of them.

Junior Brother Yang Zhan praised, "Mm, not bad, not bad. Lingjun is indeed a man of exceptional talent."

"Junior Martial Uncle flatters me too much. This nephew is only able to have today entirely thanks to the cultivation of the Family and the Sect."

"Mm." Junior Brother Yang Zhan was satisfied.

"Lingjun, having you come today is because there is a matter." Senior Brother Han Chengye said with implied meaning.

"What matter? Grandfather." Han Lingjun asked with puzzlement.

"It is not really any major matter. It is just that Junior Brother Yang's granddaughter wants to meet with you."

"Meet with me?" Han Lingjun found it strange. It was not that he had not seen that Yang Qi before, but he just did not understand why the other party wanted to see him. Could it be to spar?

Seeing Han Lingjun's inexperienced appearance, the two of them felt somewhat amused yet exasperated.

"Lingjun, you might have misunderstood. They just want you to accompany Yang Qi and enhance the feelings between both sides." Senior Brother Han Chengye said softly.

"But the inner gate selection is about to begin. Now I need to Cultivate more diligently. In that inner gate, there are quite a few Geniuses that this grandson is somewhat wary of, including several Disciples of Senior Martial Uncle Bai, as well as Senior Martial Uncle Cao and Junior Martial Uncle Xu, and so on. The Disciples of every Senior Martial Uncle and Junior Martial Uncle are extremely strong.

Although this grandson is not bad either, facing these fellow apprentices, I still dare not call myself invincible. Especially that Li Qingling; not only is her cultivation currently at Foundation Establishment 4th layer, but she also possesses a top-grade Dao foundation. Although I have not seen her make a move, that woman is said to be extremely strong, possessing the strength to fight a Foundation Establishment 5th layer Cultivator." Han Lingjun furrowed his brow.

He considered himself not bad either, it was just that Geniuses appeared in droves in this Yuxu Sect, especially a few among them whose ages were similar to his. Not only was their cultivation higher than his, but they could also fight across realms.

He was indeed a top-grade Dao foundation Cultivator, yet every generation of Cultivators in the entire Yuxu Sect had several top-grade Dao foundations, and some Cultivators in the Sect had even forged Peerless Grade Dao foundations.

Every Peerless Grade Dao foundation, not to mention steadily entering the Purple Mansion, had a probability of advancing into the Purple Mansion that was definitely incomparable to other qualities.

Master Baiye back then was a Peerless Grade Dao foundation Cultivator. Of course, she was not a Peerless Grade Dao foundation right upon Foundation Establishment, but rather obtained some rare Spirit Medicine in her early years, making up for the deficiencies of her Dao foundation and thus possessing a Peerless Grade Dao foundation.

It was not that he had not thought about elevating the quality of his own Dao foundation by another level, but that kind of Spirit Medicine might not even be found in the entire Dayan, let alone the entire Cang Prefecture?

"It is fine, after the inner gate selection is also fine. Nephew Han does not need to miss this selection for the sake of my granddaughter. After all, this selection concerns your status and resources in the Yuxu Sect next." Junior Brother Yang Zhan smiled and said.

Han Lingjun nodded, "Thank you for your understanding, Junior Martial Uncle Yang. After this nephew passes the inner gate selection, I will definitely go find Junior Sister Yang to catch up."

Junior Brother Yang Zhan and the other person nodded and no longer discussed this topic.

"Speaking of which, this Secret Realm is about to end, right? I wonder who these twenty spots will fall to this time?" Senior Brother Han Chengye said thoughtfully.

"Regardless of who they fall to, the vast majority of the spots will definitely be won by those Foundation Establishment Cultivators born from Purple Mansion factions." Junior Brother Yang Zhan expounded eloquently.

Senior Brother Han Chengye touched his chin and thought to himself: That is true.

...

With less than five days remaining until the closing of the Zifu Secret Realm, Chen Changqing and the other two roamed within the core area. During this period, they encountered more than one Tier 2 Monster Beast, and also encountered some Foundation Establishment Cultivators who were hunting them down.

Those Cultivators claimed to belong to an organization called the Anti-Immortal Alliance. Seeing that the strength of Chen Changqing and the other two was relatively strong and knowing they could not suppress them in a short time, they extended an olive branch.

However, Chen Changqing and the other two all refused. Who would join this cult that popped up from who knows where?

Furthermore, they even dared to say they would wipe out all Golden Core factions and return a bright and clear universe to Yan Country.

Whoever was tired of living would join them; wouldn't that be courting death? Those Golden Core factions of Yan Country, even though several died in that great battle ten years ago, still had more than a dozen of them nowadays. A mere group of Foundation Establishment Cultivators dared to say they wanted to overthrow the rule of the major Golden Core factions of Yan Country. Who knew who gave them the guts.

However, this Anti-Immortal Alliance indeed possessed some strength, with at least a Purple Mansion Master holding down the fort; it was just unknown how many there were.

And the Purple Mansion Master currently outside the valley was named Chisongzi, whose cultivation reached the Middle Stage of Purple Mansion. Moreover, the one who came here was not only Chisongzi, but also two other Purple Mansion Masters.

"Two Fellow Daoists, there are still five days until the Secret Realm closes. We only need to hold out until before the Secret Realm closes. By then, if the Yuxu Sect does not wait for us, they will definitely dispatch Cultivators to search for us." Shen Bei proposed.

"Mm, but after this Secret Realm closes, will the Yuxu Sect open the Secret Realm again to let us go?" Li Taixuan asked.

"Unclear." Shen Bei said uncertainly.

"Therefore, we must find an opportunity to sneak out of the core area, otherwise it will be troublesome, and perhaps we will have to wait until the next time the Secret Realm opens."

"Someone else!" Chen Changqing reminded.

The two of them became alert at the same time. Over these past two or three days, they had witnessed the power of Chen Changqing. Just the detection range of his Divine Sense far exceeded theirs, so every time he was the one giving early warnings. Because of him, they had avoided being hunted down many times.

The three immediately advanced in another direction. That group of Cultivators also seemed to have discovered the three of them and chased in the direction they were escaping.

"What is going on? How did they discover us? We have already suppressed our auras very low." Li Taixuan furrowed his brow.

"Perhaps they used some Magical Artifact?" Shen Bei felt this was the only possibility.

"Let us speed up, there are no other Cultivators ahead." Chen Changqing took the lead in advancing, and the other two closely followed.

...

"You run pretty fast, but you cannot escape. This compass can detect a radius of twenty miles; no matter how strong a Foundation Establishment Cultivator's Divine Soul is, it is absolutely impossible to exceed this range." A Cultivator holding a compass said.

Behind him, there were also five Foundation Establishment Cultivators following along.

During this period of time, they relied on this Magical Artifact to track down quite a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators hiding in the core area and successfully killed them.

Now, after so many days of consumption, out of the original fifty-plus Foundation Establishment Cultivators, not many were left, and there were only about a dozen still alive.

Who knows how furious the Yuxu Sect will be after discovering the tragic state here.

However, by that time, they would have long since escaped.

"Hurry up and chase, don't let them run away." The Foundation Establishment Cultivator holding the compass urged the few people behind him.

He watched the three dots of light on the compass rapidly moving away from them at an extremely fast speed.

...

Chen Changqing and the two sped up to escape, and all three urged their respective skilled escape techniques.

That group of Cultivators behind was immediately shaken off.

However, after just a short while, they also caught up. This was also normal; after all, everyone was in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment. Even if some Cultivators were skilled in escape techniques, they could not instantly escape the other party's detection.

Of course, Chen Changqing was naturally an exception. Although he was not skilled in escape techniques, the wind and cloud wings he possessed were High Grade Tier 2. Solely speaking of the escape speed it enhanced for him, it was enough to make Cultivators at the Perfection of Foundation Establishment 9th layer out of reach.
