Tianyuan Secret Realm, Qianfeng Valley.
Three monks, two men and one woman, flew on swords and landed in a forest.
The short male cultivator frowned slightly, "My shadow insect disappeared here. It was probably discovered by that female cultivator."
The scarred female cultivator thought for a moment, and a look of determination flashed in her eyes.
Among the three of them, one is in the late foundation building stage, and two are in the middle foundation building stage. It is almost certain that they can win against a cultivator in the fourth foundation building stage.
"It's only half an hour before the shadow bug disappears. She can't run far. We have to get that thing."
The three of them reached a consensus, each taking charge of a location and starting to explore separately.
However, the white fog that had risen up at some point blocked their vision.
The scarred female cultivator had a bad feeling in her heart, the surroundings were too quiet.
She quickly sent a message to the other two people, asking them to leave the area covered by the white fog first. However, her message fell on deaf ears and she received no response for a long time.
The uneasy feeling in her heart grew stronger and stronger. She was about to retreat when she suddenly felt a pain in her soul, as if she had been hit hard, and her body froze in place.
It's a spiritual attack!
The fog grew thicker, and the scarred female cultivator felt a tingling chill in her heart.
Even her cultivation at the late stage of foundation building was not enough to defend against this spiritual attack, and the two companions were most likely killed.
When the pain in her soul subsided a little, she hurriedly stepped back, trying to get out of this strange fog.
However, no matter how she escaped, she kept going around in circles and couldn't get out of the fog.
At this point, the scarred female cultivator had no idea that she had been tricked without even realizing it.
She forced herself to calm down, took out a formation-breaking talisman and activated it.
With the power of the formation-breaking talisman, she finally found a flaw, but a figure blocked the only way to escape.
It was the female cultivator they had been chasing for the past half day.
A look of vigilance flashed across the scarred female cultivator's eyes, but she was unwilling to give in when she thought of the things that were snatched away by the female cultivator in front of her.
"It's you who did it, hand over the things!"
Xu Chunniang reached into her storage ring, took out a token and shook it.
"Is this what you are talking about?"
She had accidentally snatched this token half a day ago, and she didn't know what it was for.
But after snatching the token, the three people behind her started chasing her like crazy.
When she saw the token, the scarred female cultivator's breathing quickened a little, but she soon calmed down.
"Yes, it is this thing. If you are willing, I can exchange it with you for a third-level spiritual herb."
Xu Chunniang rubbed the token with her fingers. She studied the token after getting it, but she couldn't figure out what its specific use was.
But considering the importance these monks attach to it, it must not be an ordinary thing.
She stared at the scarred nun and spoke slowly.
"It's okay to exchange, but you have to tell me what it is."
The scarred female cultivator was disdainful in her heart, but a smile flashed across her face.
"This is a token for a cave in the secret realm. However, in addition to the token, the cave also requires a specific method to open. Even if you get the token, you can't open the cave. You might as well trade the token to me."
Xu Chunniang was about to speak when her expression suddenly changed. She retreated without hesitation, not even caring about the female cultivator with the scar.
As she left, the white mist around her gradually became thinner.
The scarred female cultivator looked confused and uncertain, but soon, a powerful spiritual sense descended from the sky and locked onto her firmly.
Her face suddenly turned pale, and she finally realized why the female cultivator wanted to escape.
The scarred female cultivator was unwilling to sit and wait for death. After breaking free from the terrifying spiritual pressure, she bit her tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood, then quickly drew a talisman in the air with blood.
However, her resistance angered the overlord of the sky.
The huge green wings flashed, and then the eagle claws pierced through the blood symbol and stabbed into the body of the scarred female cultivator, easily crushing her to pieces.
The blue-winged eagle retracted its claws, let out a loud cry, and looked into the distance with a hint of fear in its eyes.
Hearing the loud eagle cry coming from behind, Xu Chunniang's face tensed and she sped up a moment.
After noticing the appearance of the Green-Winged Eagle in the Jindan stage, she chose to escape without hesitation.
Fortunately, she wanted to pry the purpose of the token out of the Scar-scarred Female Nun's mouth and save her life. By chance, she attracted the attention of the Green-Winged Eagle and escaped successfully.
Otherwise, if you are targeted by a Green-Winged Eagle in the Jindan stage, it will not be easy to escape.
Xu Chunniang's eyes were gloomy. She fled nearly a thousand miles in one breath before slowing down and finding a hilltop to land on.
Fortunately, the spiritual pressure she exerted deceived the Green-Winged Eagle, making it mistakenly believe that she was also in the Golden Core Stage, so it failed to chase her.
Xu Chunniang had only been in the Tianyuan Secret Realm for three days and she had already encountered several crises.
This was the second time I encountered a Jindan-stage monster.
The Qianfeng Valley where she was was just the outer boundary of the Tianyuan Secret Realm.
Xu Chunniang hid in the formation, drank the spiritual wine to restore her spiritual energy, and took out two maps.
She bought one of these maps for two thousand spirit stones, and the other was found from the short male cultivator.
The two maps didn't look much different, except that the area belonging to the Tiandao Palace was circled on the map obtained from the short male cultivator.
"Tian Dao Palace."
Xu Chunniang firmly memorized this place in her mind. She circled this place as being most likely the destination of their trip.
Thinking of what the scarred nun had said, she had a thoughtful look in her eyes. They valued this token so much, so it must be something extraordinary.
Could this token be the one that opens the Tiandao Palace
Xu Chunniang had naturally heard of the Tiandao Palace when she learned about the Tianyuan Secret Realm.
Rumor has it that the Tianyuan Secret Realm was opened up by a powerful man named Tianyuan Zhenren, and the Tiandao Palace is where this powerful man lives.
In the Tiandao Palace, there are not only countless secret treasures, but also the inheritance left by that great man.
Every time the Tianyuan Secret Realm is opened, some Tiandao Orders will be scattered in the secret realm, and the holder of the order can enter the Tiandao Palace.
A look of determination flashed in Xu Chunniang's eyes. If she wanted to know whether this token was the Heavenly Dao Token, she only had to go to the Heavenly Dao Palace to find out.
It is rumored that when Zhenren Tianyuan ascended to heaven, his cultivation surpassed the Spirit Transformation Realm. If he really left behind a legacy, one can imagine how amazing it would be.
Xu Chunniang recovered her spiritual energy with the cover of the formation and traveled at night in silence.
The monks she met on the road were eager to make a move when they saw that she was alone and her cultivation was not very high.
There were also several groups of people who attacked her without any explanation and used deadly moves.
Xu Chunniang naturally had no reason to be polite to such a person.
She directly released her spiritual sense to shock them, and when they were unable to move under the pressure of her spiritual sense, she activated her flying sword to take their lives.
Often, the battle ends neatly and efficiently within a few breaths.
They walked all the way to the Tiandao Palace. When Xu Chunniang arrived at the Tiandao Palace, she had two more tokens in her hand that looked like Tiandao Orders.
