167: Chapter 167 The White-Clad Fairy

The world inside the Secret Realm was vast.

Mountains undulated, great rivers meandered, and ancient trees reached for the sky...

After the people of the Qingyun Sect had traversed the Secret Realm, they began planning the construction of the Sect's territory. Ji Taichang even summoned Jin Lianxue, treating this Void Refinement Stage Formation Master as manual labor, having her assist the Qingyun Sect members in rebuilding the Sect and setting up the Protective Sect Array.

He, on the other hand, went to the place with the most abundant Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the Secret Realm, designating it as the core Forbidden Ground of the Qingyun Sect, as well as the residence for himself and the three women: Lin Xueyue, Yang Yao, and Qin Ruolin!

There was a range of beautiful Peaks here, with meandering streams that overlooked the entire Secret Realm; the environment was quite pleasant.

“Eh?”

“How can there be an Immortal Cave here?”

“Xiao Yao, did you build this in the past?”

Ji Taichang discovered that atop the central main mountain, an Immortal Cave actually stood with its stone doors tightly shut. In front of the doors was a beautiful garden and a pond where lotus flowers bloomed and spiritual fish swam.

“No.”

Yun Qiyao shook her head, a hint of doubt appearing in her eyes.

Back then, she had only explored this Secret Realm once. Thinking the place was decent, she had simply left a barrier mark.

Furthermore, the barrier she left behind had not been destroyed, so how could an Immortal Cave suddenly appear?

There was clearly no Immortal Cave when she last visited.

Ji Taichang stepped forward and pressed his hand against the stone door of the Immortal Cave. A faint golden light flowed around him as he exerted his full strength.

However.

With his current formidable strength, he was actually unable to budge this stone door at all!

Restriction runes flickered upon the stone door, forcefully blocking the Divine Power unleashed by Ji Taichang.

“Interesting.”

Ji Taichang became interested: “Xiao Yao, break the Restriction on this Immortal Cave.”

“Yes, Master.”

Yun Qiyao's figure emerged, her eyes lighting up with a strange glow as if countless tiny symbols were surfacing, forming one complex Formation after another.

In her vision, the entire Immortal Cave was shrouded by layers of powerful Restriction runes, which she continuously analyzed.

“Eh?”

“Why... does this Restriction technique seem somewhat familiar?”

A trace of surprise flashed through Yun Qiyao's eyes.

She quickly found the weak point of the Restriction. Forming hand seals, she struck out several bursts of magic power, dismantling the Restriction.

Ji Taichang pushed open the door of the Immortal Cave and walked inside.

This Immortal Cave was quite extraordinary, constructed from some kind of Ore material containing spatial power. The interior space was vast, with faint mist lingering, and a translucent pearl hung from the ceiling like a bright moon, emitting a soft light.

“Is this... a Medium Grade Magic Treasure?!”

“To use such a treasure as a lantern for lighting, how extravagant...”

Ji Taichang clicked his tongue in wonder, a look of amazement in his eyes.

The decoration of this Immortal Cave was very simple and plain, but the Materials used could be called extremely luxurious. The floor was entirely paved with Top-Grade Spirit Stones, and the potted plants used for decoration in the corners were actually fifth or sixth-grade precious medicines!

The prayer mat on the floor used for Cultivation was also woven from the branches of the extremely rare Nine-Leaf Bodhi, surrounded by Dao charm.

The wooden bed in the center was made of hundred-thousand-year-old Deep Sea Wood. The wood was pale gold and warm to the touch, capable of automatically cleansing the baleful Qi from one's body. Even a Void Refinement Stage expert would turn red with envy upon seeing it, calling it a reckless waste of resources!

The paper, ink, brushes, inkstones, and lamps on the desk were all precious treasures!

“Just what kind of powerful expert left behind this Immortal Cave?”

“I've hit the jackpot this time...”

Ji Taichang licked his lips, quite pleasantly surprised.

With such an excellent Immortal Cave, wouldn't he just take off if he lived here!

The only fly in the ointment was that the wooden bed was too small; there wouldn't be enough space to Cultivate with Lin Xueyue and the other two women in the future.

Ji Taichang lay down on the wooden bed carelessly. Instantly, the bed lit up with a hazy glow, automatically gathering the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, which continuously flowed into Ji Taichang's body. It made his whole body feel comfortable and his mind clear; even his cultivation was slowly increasing!

“So fragrant... Eh?”

Ji Taichang picked up the pillow and took a deep breath, an epic inhale.

Suddenly, he blinked, realizing that a beautiful and moving figure had appeared before him at some point.

It was a young girl in a white dress who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. Her dress was embroidered with golden cloud patterns and phoenixes, looking exquisite and luxurious.

She wasn't tall, her skin was as white as snow, and her appearance was extremely beautiful. In terms of facial features alone, she wasn't inferior to Yun Qiyao at all!

But Yun Qiyao won out with her perfect figure, while the woman before him was like a small lotus just showing its bud, slightly inferior in that regard.

There was a small crimson mark on her forehead. Although she was incredibly beautiful, her expression was very cold, and her gaze was indifferent, as if she were looking down at an ant.

Her temperament was otherworldly, much colder than Yun Qiyao's; she truly looked like a Fairy stepped out of a painting.

What surprised Ji Taichang the most was...

With his cultivation level and the strength of his Divine Sense, he actually couldn't sense any of her aura. He could only see her with his naked eyes, as if she were a ghost.

“Fairy, are you a person or a ghost?”

Ji Taichang was somewhat puzzled and couldn't help but blink.

Boom—!!

At the same time.

Yun Qiyao, who was residing within the human emperor flag, suddenly trembled violently upon seeing that woman. Her mind felt like rolling thunder, filled with both shock and joy!!

“Xiao Yin!!”

“She's still alive... Great! This is great!!”

Yun Qiyao's body couldn't stop trembling as she covered her mouth, her eyes turning slightly moist!

That incredibly beautiful Fairy didn't answer Ji Taichang's question. Instead, she said coldly, “With a mere third-level Soul Transformation Stage cultivation, how could you open the Secret Realm barrier? How could you break the Restriction on my Immortal Cave?”

“Explain yourself truthfully.”

The Fairy in White's voice was calm and indifferent, yet it carried an unquestionable authority!

Hearing this, Ji Taichang's body suddenly stiffened slightly.

“This is actually the Fairy's Immortal Cave?”

“Uh, haha... We truly are destined to meet...”

Ji Taichang laughed it off, while quickly sending a Divine Sense transmission to Yun Qiyao: “Xiao Yao! How could the treasure land you left behind be occupied by someone else? What is this girl's cultivation and background? Why can't I see through her?”

“If we start fighting later, can you win?”

To Ji Taichang's surprise.

This time, Yun Qiyao fell silent and did not answer.

“Answer me!”

The Fairy in White's voice grew a few degrees colder. An invisible pressure surged toward him, making Ji Taichang's whole body tense up, as if he had become a stray leaf in a monstrous tsunami, or as if he were facing the rolling might of heaven!

This pressure was so strong that even Ji Ruyan at the Peak of the ninth level of the Void Refinement Stage was far inferior!!

“This is... a Body Integration Stage expert!”

Ji Taichang's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition suddenly surged within him!

He had actually occupied the Immortal Cave of a Body Integration Stage expert?

He even slept on her bed and took an epic inhale of the pillow she had used.

No wonder it smelled so good...

I'm cooked!!
