"Sun Li," Wang Lianshan called one of his disciples over, picked up two items on the table, and said, "This time our sect is exploring the secret realm, you will be the leader, take these two items."
"Yes, Master, but this..." Sun Li's strength was on par with Zhao Hao's, so he was just the right person to replace Zhao Hao. However, he was a little confused about these two things. The fireworks letter tube was easy to explain, but what was the use of this treasure bag?
Wang Lianshan did not explain much, but just said, "After entering the secret realm, go to the place marked on the map and send out a signal. Then you will understand."
Although Sun Li and his fellow disciples were full of doubts, they did not dare to ask any more questions. Seeing that Wang Lianshan had no other instructions, they all bowed and left, and soon they all left.
In the room, after all the disciples left, Wang Lianshan sat there in silence for a long time, wondering what he was thinking about. After a long time, he stood up, turned his head and looked in the direction of the Jinguang Sect's station, muttering to himself: "I don't know if the arrangement back then will be successful. If it is successful, I don't have to rely too much on the Jinguang Sect in the future."
Although the Jinguang Sect and the Wuzhu Sect have always been the vanguards in suppressing the Yuqing Sect, there has always been a master and a subordinate between the two sects. The biggest reason why the Jinguang Sect can be the "master" is that there is a big backer behind it. No one knows who this backer is, but it must be a first-class sect, or even a top sect.
Otherwise, based on the strength of the two sects alone, let alone the time when Yuqing Sect had not yet fallen into a third-rate sect, even the current Yuqing Sect cannot be suppressed by the two sects at will.
The Wuzhu Sect had always wanted the Jinguang Sect to help introduce them, hoping to get close to the big backer behind the Jinguang Sect. However, the Jinguang Sect would never create an opponent for itself, and the backer was also a resource, so how could it be introduced to others for nothing? Therefore, it had always been trying to lure the Wuzhu Sect, but had never really wanted to introduce them to the Wuzhu Sect.
The Wuzhu Sect was actually well aware of this situation, but since they were already on board, they would have to offend the Jinguang Sect if they wanted to get off, so they could only think of something behind the scenes. "Appearance is close, but the heart is far apart, sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams" probably describes the relationship between the two sects, and everyone has their own little thoughts.
Back at Yuqing Sect, everyone was not at peace that night.
Whether it was Jin Dasheng or his disciples, they really let out a sigh of relief this time. For many years, the people of Yuqing Sect had not felt so happy, and more importantly, they saw hope from it.
It was just a simple victory in a duel, which was nothing. Even if they got four extra places, it was actually nothing. The key point was that through this time, the strength of the disciples of Yuqing Sect was truly verified, which also meant that the effect of the virtual world was verified.
Jin Dasheng believed that as long as the Void God Realm existed, he would not be able to restore the Yuqing Sect to its former glory, but at least it would undoubtedly rank among the top third-rate sects.
It's not that Jin Dasheng is timid and doesn't dare to think about it. The development of a sect is not simply determined by the strength of the disciples. With the help of the Void God Realm, the disciples in the Qi Refining Realm have become stronger, and the disciples in the Foundation Establishment Realm have also become stronger. The strength of these Jindan Grandmasters may also be improved, and even Elder Mo Da can surpass other Yuanying ancestors.
But what about going further up?
Without a powerful Yuanshen in charge of the sect, even if everyone in the Yuqing Sect is invincible at the same level, it can still only be a third-rate sect. The reason why Qingyue Sword Sect is a second-rate sect is not because they are sword cultivators, nor because they have two more Yuanying ancestors than Yuqing Sect. The real reason is that they have a great elder who is a Yuanshen and whose life and death is unknown.
If one day it is proven that the great Yuanshen master of Qingyue Sword Sect is dead, Qingyue Sword Sect will probably no longer be qualified to be called a second-rate sect, even the lowest second-rate.
Although the Nascent Soul Realm seems to be only one step away from the Spiritual Realm, it is not as easy as imagined to take this step. In fact, starting from the Foundation Establishment Realm, each level above it cannot be achieved simply by accumulation. Resources are only the foundation, personal talent and understanding are the main thing, but the more critical thing is opportunity.
Chance is something that cannot be seen or touched, but no one can deny its role. For example, Qi Qianjun had good talent and was trained by Yuqing Sect, but an "accident" almost cut off his path to cultivation. This is opportunity. However, Ye Zan came because he was looking for a genius to extract genes, and then he knew Qi Qianjun, and then helped Qi Qianjun heal his injuries. This is also opportunity.
It is like staying in the Nascent Soul Realm for so long, firstly because of the limitation of talent, and secondly because the opportunity has not come yet. If the opportunity really comes, no matter what your talent is, no matter what resources you lack, it is not an opportunity if you can't make up for it. It's like some people accidentally found a cave with everything they want. When they come out of the cave, they are already the existence that many people look up to. Opportunity is so unreasonable.
Therefore, no matter how optimistic Jin Dasheng was, and no matter how much he felt that the situation of Yuqing Sect was very good, he did not dare to hope to achieve success overnight.
The next day, the day when the secret realm was opened finally arrived.
The entrance to the secret realm is in a pool in the valley, but the word "pool" is a bit exaggerated, in fact it is more like a puddle. The water in the pool is only 35 meters deep and 20 to 30 meters in diameter. There are not many fish and shrimps in it. Although it is stagnant water, it is not stagnant. The water level has not increased or decreased for more than 300 years.
If a cultivator above the Qi Refining Realm jumps into the pool, it will still be a pool, not much different from an ordinary pool, except that the water is clearer. Only cultivators at the Qi Refining Realm and below will be sucked into the secret realm if they jump into the pool when the secret realm restriction is activated. In fact, this secret realm was discovered because many ordinary mortals had disappeared here before, which attracted the attention of the five sects.
The people from the five sects came to the water pool one after another. They did not talk to each other, but just waited quietly for the secret realm to open. However, the disciples of the Jinguang Sect and Wuzhu Sect were much better than yesterday. I think Luo Wang and the others have put in a lot of effort.
At noon, suddenly, I saw layers of ripples on the surface of the pond, very light, just like a breeze blowing. Or, just like a light leaf falling in the middle of the pond, stirring up layers of imperceptible ripples.
"The secret realm is open and we can enter now." Luo Miao said, turning his head to look at the Yuqing Sect not far away, and said loudly: "Yesterday, the performance of the Yuqing disciples convinced us. Why don't we let the Yuqing disciples enter the secret realm first today?"
Of course, there is a certain order to enter the secret realm. It is impossible for everyone to jump in at once. However, who enters the secret realm first is not a good thing. No one knows what the other side of the secret realm entrance will be like after ten years. In fact, the first person to enter the secret realm in the past was basically a Yuqing disciple, which was equivalent to being cannon fodder for the other four sects to explore the way.
Hearing this, Jin Dasheng sneered and said, "Brother Luo, what you said sounds like it wasn't us Yuqing disciples who went down first before."
