59: Chapter 59 A Secret Realm Suddenly Appears

Yu Song had, after all, knocked about in the cultivation world for so many years, so his understanding of worldly sophistication was naturally far beyond what the young girl beside him could compare to.

He slowly said, "Daoist Yun, although the strength of the He Family is unremarkable in Tianhe County, they have two Foundation Establishment Cultivators purely on the surface, and even for the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, there are no less than ten. Therefore, it would be safer for Fellow Daoist to return to Cang Prefecture via Tianhe County City."

Hearing this, Chen Changqing nodded and, before leaving, gave each of them a first-rank Medium Grade Magical Artifact as a reward for pointing the way.

The grandfather and granddaughter silently watched that azure figure gradually fade into the distance, each harboring their own emotions in their hearts.

"Alright! The person has already gone far away, yet you are still looking. This person is not someone you can afford to aim high for." Yu Song stroked Yuge's head and said affectionately.

"Grandpa." Yuge slapped away Yu Song's palm, her face flushed with embarrassment and anger.

"Let's go. If we are discovered by the people of the He Family again, we will be in trouble once more." Yu Song reminded her, and then led Yuge forward in a certain direction.

...

Chen Changqing kept moving forward in the direction mentioned by the old man. After traveling about several hundred miles, some Mortal towns slowly appeared.

Among these Mortal towns, there were presences of a Cultivator's aura; it seemed they should be towns belonging to certain families.

Upon arriving here, his field of vision widened considerably. Looking out, it was completely different from many regions in Cang Prefecture; here, the mountains and plains were filled with waves of green. Many large mountains were reclaimed into farmland, flying birds could be vaguely seen passing through the white clouds in the sky, and kitchen smoke rose from the Mortals cooking on the ground.

Chen Changqing flew all the way while admiring these sceneries. If it were in his past life, he wouldn't be able to find such a place that could be called an Immortal Realm at all.

A few days later, he finally arrived at Tianhe County City.

Tianhe County City was bustling with people coming and going, traffic weaving like a dragon, and countless closely packed buildings standing on both sides of the street.

Chen Changqing descended from mid-air and then walked on foot into Tianhe County City. It was not that he wanted to walk, but rather that all cities within the borders of Dayan had a flight ban restriction.

Unless one's cultivation was high enough; for instance, county cities generally did not forbid Foundation Establishment and above Cultivators from flying, while county-level cities and prefecture-level cities did not forbid Purple Mansion and above Cultivators from flying.

As for where Tianhe Market was, Chen Changqing asked a passing Cultivator to find out. Unlike Taihe Market, Tianhe Market was located right inside Tianhe County City.

In fact, he was still somewhat puzzled until now: why did some markets and cities occupy separate locations, while other markets and cities gathered together?

However, this thought only flashed across his mind for a moment.

Spending two or three days, he purchased some Medicinal Pills, some talisman-making Materials, and a second-rank Magical Artifact, the Zhankong Saber, from the best shop in Tianhe Market.

Just as he was about to leave, countless Cultivators on the road were flying in a certain direction.

Some of those Cultivators were whispering something in groups of twos and threes with their good friends?

Through his Divine Sense, Chen Changqing discovered that a Secret Realm had appeared in the direction he came from. Now, all Cultivators in the entire Tianhe County City were greatly sensationalized, and many people had already set out, hoping to get ahead of others and seize some Opportunities from that Secret Realm first.

Chen Changqing himself was also somewhat moved, but he didn't have much time right now; otherwise, he would definitely have to go there once.

However, he found that the journey from Tianhe County City to Cang Prefecture City was long, taking at least half a month or more. But that Secret Realm happened to be right on the boundary line between Qing and Cang Prefectures. Through some Cultivators, he learned that taking this path would only take ten days to reach Cang Prefecture City.

Since that was the case, once his matters were done, he had to go to this Secret Realm. He immediately headed to this place together with the rest of the Cultivators.

...

Boundary of Qing and Cang Prefectures.

A deep black hole had appeared on the originally azure-blue sky.

Thousands of Cultivators gathered here, and further away, a continuous stream of Cultivators was rushing toward this place.

The auras of the few Cultivators at the very front of all Cultivators made all the surrounding Cultivators feel terrified.

Every single one of these few, if picked out, could easily annihilate Foundation Establishment Cultivators, because they were all Purple Mansion Masters.

Chen Changqing stood in the center of the crowd. He had already arrived two days ago. Originally, he wanted to go to the Yuxu Sect to see Qingling first, but unexpectedly, a Purple Mansion Master of the Yuxu Sect was also at this place, and Li Qingling happened to be together with him.

However, he did not take this Opportunity to approach them, because the place where those Purple Palace Cultivators were located was not somewhere he could casually cross over. If he went over rashly, it was quite possible he would be slapped to death by one of them.

Therefore, he could only stand aside like the other Cultivators and wait for the Secret Realm.

Originally, the rest of the people had come early in the morning, wanting to take a step ahead to obtain the resources of the Secret Realm.

As a result, when they came over and looked, the Void Realm channel of this entrance had not yet completely stabilized and solidified. Even Purple Palace Cultivators were unable to enter. Once someone entered forcibly, unless a Golden Core Cultivator was present, anyone would be instantly annihilated by the Void Realm.

At the very beginning, some Cultivators refused to believe in evil and intended to enter forcibly; the result could be imagined.

"The Void Realm channel of this entrance has not yet completely stabilized. Fellow Daoist Songhe, when will the Formation Master you mentioned arrive?" said an old man wearing a dark brown robe.

"It will be within these one or two days. As long as he comes, using the Sifang Tiandi Great Formation, together with the six of us Purple Palace Cultivators, we will definitely be able to stabilize the Void Realm channel for a whole month."

"That's good. I have also notified the Disciples under my sect to lead a team here. As long as the Formation arrives, at that time it will be the Opportunity of our few families." Another Purple Palace Cultivator said.

"That's not necessarily true. If the tier of the Secret Realm inside is confirmed, perhaps more will come." That Purple Mansion Master of the Yuxu Sect talked eloquently.

Apart from Master Tianlong, who also came from a Golden Core power, the rest of them harbored considerable apprehension upon hearing this. They had originally intended to monopolize this Secret Realm, but alas, the commotion when the Secret Realm was born was too huge, and many Cultivators and powers were attracted. Moreover, this Secret Realm was relatively close to the Yuxu Sect in Cang Prefecture, so they also perceived it and sent people over.

The few of them chatted while waiting.

Among them, the most miserable was none other than the He Family. Originally, this Secret Realm was discovered by their clan members, but the news was leaked to others. Originally, they had already annihilated quite a few Cultivators passing by this place, but in the end, some Cultivators still escaped.

In the end, the situation here was naturally publicized by people. Fortunately, these Purple Palace Cultivators did not hold them accountable; otherwise, they might not even be able to appear here right now.

Another day passed, and that Tier 3 Formation Master rushed over. Then, the six Purple Palace Cultivators immediately began to preside over the Formation.

In just one day, the Cultivators here increased by quite a bit more, already approaching two thousand.

Chen Changqing also waited together with the other Cultivators for the six Purple Palace Cultivators to set up the Formation. Many people's hearts were plotting to enter preemptively as soon as the Formation stabilized the Void Realm.

However, not everyone had such thoughts; for instance, Chen Changqing. To say nothing else, those Purple Mansion Masters had painstakingly finished setting up the Formation, yet these low-rank Cultivators rushed forward to enter one after another—wasn't this slapping them in the face?

However, everyone understood these principles, but whether they could actually do it was another matter. After all, huge benefits were placed right before their eyes, and it would be a ghost if they could hold back their greed. No wonder in the vernacular novels he read in his past life, there were always some fools who clearly knew the danger was immense, yet insisted on acting as cannon fodder for others to test the path.
