No matter how you calculate the time, the Xuantian Secret Realm should not be opened at this time.
After Wen Yun told the three people squatting outside in a listless state about this new discovery, they all looked a little confused for a moment.
Jiang Si, who had recovered, held up the knife and wondered, "This shouldn't be the case. I've only heard of opening early, but never heard of ending early."
Because everyone knows that the opportunities to enter the Xuantian Secret Realm are limited, the secret realm is only opened once every five hundred years, and no one knows its exact location. It can only be opened by several Tribulation Crossing experts using a method that has been passed down for tens of millions of years. Only then can people enter. If they want to get out again, they have to open the exit again.
This secret place created by immortals is like the legendary fairy mountain and treasure land, and no one can trace its specific traces.
No matter how much they thought about it, they still couldn't figure it out. However, the demon cultivator had now run under their noses, and everyone was worried about it, so how could they have the energy to search for treasures in the secret realm
The more important reason is... the secret realm had already been swept away by two people, and what was left were just some leftovers. If they were placed in a small sect, they might cause a sensation, but if they were placed among the direct disciples of these big sects, they would seem petty, and a young master like Jiang Si would not even look down on them.
Of course, the sword cultivator who was famous for his poverty still valued it, so he emptied the only valuable spiritual spring in a jar.
"Let's go find Qian Lishen and the others first. The demon cultivators are in the dark while we are in the light. If we separate, they will defeat us one by one. It is safer for us to join forces."
It was not difficult to find Qian Lishen. After all, Wen Yun had discovered that he was mining with the young master of the Wan family. The mine was quite large and it would take a while to mine it all.
Sure enough, when Wen Yun and the others arrived, before they saw Qian Lishen, they saw a colorful brocade robe hanging on a tree from a distance.
Qian Lishen at the foot of the mountain was only wearing an undershirt with his sleeves rolled up, and he was working very hard.
Standing next to him was the young master of the Wan family, and not far away was a young monk Wuchen who was hitting the spirit stone with a wooden hammer. The two of them were also working tirelessly to move the spirit jade.
Because the spiritual jade is fragile, they did not dare to use spiritual power to mine it violently. They could only carefully dig it with their own hands. Now everyone was exhausted.
This entire mountain range of mid-grade spiritual jade made the two sword cultivators' eyes widen. Under normal circumstances, they would definitely pick up their swords and start digging without hesitation. They would be willing to work hard and sweat for the spiritual jade to forge the swords.
But things are different now. First, they experienced the incident of the infiltration of the demon cultivators, and now their fellow disciple Shen Xinghai is missing. Even if they love swords as much as they do, they don't have the time to worry about these things.
After all, junior brothers are more important.
When Qian Lishen first saw the crowd, a trace of vigilance flashed across his face, but he quickly pretended to be calm: "Hey, you actually found this place too, what's going on? Are you blind and can't find any good stuff, so you want to take away our opportunity?"
From the sarcastic tone in his speech, you could tell that this person was not possessed by an evil cultivator. It was undoubtedly Qian Lishen himself. After all, even an evil cultivator could not speak as rudely as him.
When the young monk Wuchen saw another person coming, his cheeks suddenly turned red. He quickly put away the mallet he was using to pry open the jade and bowed helplessly: "Amitabha..."
It was the chubby Wan Baocai from the Wan family who greeted everyone with a very good temper: "Meeting is fate, there are rich spiritual jade deposits here, why don't you all come and mine together?"
As expected of a member of the Wan family who made his fortune in business, he always has a good face when he meets everyone.
Qian Lishen was not happy to hear this, but he did not say anything else. After all, it was Wanbao who first discovered the Lingyu mine, and he had no right to interfere with other people's decisions.
But he still couldn't help but sneer: "Oh, if Jiang Si, a reckless man, were to come and pick it, I'm afraid the whole Jade Mountain would be smashed to pieces by him!"
He still remembers this guy's foolish behavior of breaking the formation with a knife. He has seen rude people, but he has never seen someone as unruly as this... Not really, there is someone more terrifying, but that person is not here, so he doesn't need to be counted.
Before Qian Lishen could finish this thought, he saw two people standing behind the sword trio.
One of the figures looked particularly familiar. It was the man who completely destroyed the hundreds of formations on the Thousand Formation Tower and the shadow of the entire Fubuki Island.
Qian Lishen was suddenly startled, and he couldn't hold the piece of jade as big as his head that he had just pried off firmly, and it fell directly on his foot.
“You… you…”
The fingers are connected to the heart, and the toes are also connected to the fingers. This hit made Qian Lishen's nose sore, and even a man like him almost shed tears.
Wen Yun was very touched and stepped forward: "I didn't know that Fellow Daoist Qian missed me so much that he cried with joy when he saw me."
Qian Lishen didn't want to know why Wen Yun appeared here. He just wanted to leave quickly and leave the place where this woman was.
Anyway, this woman is as difficult to deal with as a ghost. She disappeared inexplicably under everyone's nose before, so it's not surprising that she appears in Xuantian Secret Realm now.
Yes, any strange thing is not strange when it happens to her, because this girl named Wen Yun is the ultimate monster.
Ever since Wen Yun showed up, his smooth life was shattered. Not only did all kinds of troubles come to him, but he was also always outshined by her in everything.
Although he can't afford to offend him, he can afford to hide from him!
Seeing Qian Lishen trying to run away without saying a word, Jiang Si grabbed him and said, "Don't leave. We are here to discuss something important."
Qian Lishen: "I know, you want to discuss this with me, right? I'll give in, you let me go."
Jiang Si was helpless: "It's really not the case. There are demon cultivators infiltrating the Xuantian Secret Realm. This is a serious matter. We need to cooperate and work together."
The little ancestor of Fubuki Island sneered, with disbelief written all over her beautiful face: "Well, don't use the devil cultivation as an excuse. Only poor people like you would value this little spiritual jade. I despise it, so I'll give it all to you!"
Wen Yun glanced at his feet and said coldly: "Although you sounded contemptuous, your movements in prying the spiritual jade were really skilled."
“…” Qian Lishen’s face turned as green as Lingyu.
Wen Yun was too lazy to talk to him any more, and went straight to the point: "We didn't lie to you, the demon cultivator has sneaked into the Xuantian Secret Realm, and now the exit has been opened, I'm afraid there have been changes in the outside world."
Wan Baocai and the young monk Wuchen had stopped what they were doing and walked over. They looked at each other and finally said hesitantly: "I wonder how you knew..."
"We just had an encounter with the demon cultivator, and..." Jiang Si paused, his expression becoming sad: "And Master Qinghong has been possessed by the demon cultivator, and his life or death is unknown now."
"What!"
The righteous disciples who entered the Xuantian Secret Realm gathered together. After hearing what happened in the past two days, the three people who were originally digging spiritual jade easily looked a little dazed.
As for how Wen Yun and the other two got in, they just thought that they accidentally broke in because the secret realm was opened ahead of schedule. As for Ye Shubai's identity... The Sword Discussion Meeting is a grand event of a hundred years. There are so many people from various sects and schools. It is not surprising that Wen Yun's senior brother came.
Moreover, compared with the affairs of these two people, the affairs of the demon cultivators are the focus this time.
They had often heard of the term "demon cultivators", but the heroic battle between good and evil five hundred years ago was too far away. Their parents might not have been born at that time. They could only vaguely learn about it from their ancestors, and had no idea how the demon cultivators had managed to get in, or how they were defeated.
However, they often heard people talk about what the evil cultivators did.
They massacred cities, sacrificed living people, and used young girls as cauldrons. All their methods were cruel and ruthless. Wherever they went, it was like a demon passing through, turning all peace and tranquility into hell.
Hearing that the evil cultivator was lurking around them, these geniuses who shouldered the future of righteousness could not help but become serious and take it seriously.
Now that the exit has been opened, people can only leave the Xuantian Secret Realm but not enter. News from the outside cannot be brought in, and they can only know what is happening outside by going out.
However, the Xuantian Secret Realm is a huge opportunity. This may be the only chance they will have in their lifetime. They have only been here for a few days, are they really going to leave
Not to mention those secret treasures and adventures that have not yet been discovered (although in fact they had been emptied out by a certain ancestor long ago), just the extremely rich spiritual energy here, every day they stay here, they can feel that the golden elixir in their bodies has become more condensed, which is equivalent to a year of spiritual power tempering in the outside world.
If you don't make progress on the path of cultivation, you will regress. These geniuses who have reached such a height certainly understand how rare this opportunity is.
"I am gifted and can become an immortal without these crappy immortal opportunities. I don't care. I'm going to go out and find my junior brother Shen!" Zhu Erchong snorted while holding the sword. His eyes fell on Wen Yun and the others. After hesitating, he gritted his teeth and said, "Junior brothers and sisters, you guys should hurry up and practice here for the time being. I will go out alone to investigate the situation."
Wen Yun looked at Zhu Erchong silently. She could of course see that Senior Brother Zhu was struggling, but he still chose to sacrifice his own interests to protect his fellow disciples. She couldn't help but be touched by this.
"Brother, I'll go out with you."
Ye Shubai didn't say anything, just stood quietly beside Wen Yun, silently expressing his attitude.
Bao Pilong spat, "Brother, it's fine that you look down on me, Old Bao! Junior Sister Wen, you actually follow suit. Do I look like someone who would forget his brothers for the sake of money?"
Wen Yun couldn't help but correct his words in a low voice: "Brother, you are greedy for profit and forget your principles."
Sure enough, when Senior Brother Shen was not around, things just wouldn't work. Senior Brother Bao's words started to become incoherent.
Bao Pilong's face turned red and he glared back: "How can you argue with me in front of so many people, do you have no shame, brother?"
…
After the sword cultivator made such a fuss, the few people who were still hesitating looked at each other, and they all felt ashamed for the thoughts that had just secretly arisen in their minds.
The young monk Wuchen knocked the wooden fish and bowed his head: "Buddha has mercy on me. I am willing to follow the Qingliu Sword Sect."
Jiang Si was of course no exception. When it came to enthusiasm, he was number one. The sword cultivators and knife cultivators were also secretly competing with each other in this regard.
Wan Baocai, who had been listening on the side, also laughed and cupped his hands: "I am just an ordinary person. I am satisfied to have come to Xuantian Secret Realm to see the works of immortals. I don't ask for any adventures. I will go out with you this time."
Now only Qian Lishen was left. He pursed his lips with a look of disdain, but still said: "Oh, you all really went out to pretend to be heroes and talk about morality, just want me to be your grandson, right? Hey, I won't! It's just to find someone, without me, my spirit formation will definitely not be able to find it-"
"That's not the case." Jiang Si interrupted Qian Lishen bluntly and pointed at Wen Yun with a smile: "Junior Sister Wen is very skilled in formations. It was her credit that we found you earlier."
Qian Lishen stared at Wen Yun with complicated eyes. He did know how to set up a spiritual formation to search for people or objects, but that spiritual formation took a very long time to set up, and it took almost three years in advance. How many days had Wen Yun only been here
Wen Yun was very tolerant of these younger generations. She said modestly, "It's not bad. It took me more than an hour to find it. I think it should be no problem for Fellow Daoist Qian."
"…" Qian Lishen took the ladder handed over by Wen Yun with difficulty, and said in a numb tone: "You are right."
If he called all the disciples of Fubuki Island to help set up the formation, it would not be impossible for it to take more than an hour.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Si showed a suspicious look on his face, and turned to ask Wen Yun: "Why do I remember that you only spent half a cup of tea to finish it?"
She whispered: "Give them some confidence and don't discourage the children's enterprising spirit."
Qian Lishen, who was standing nearby and heard everything clearly, said: "...Okay, can you guys just shut up?"
This woman is beautiful but has a cruel heart. She kills people without shedding blood. His heart is almost broken!
The whole journey to the exit was spent in the heartbreak of the little ancestor of Fubuki Island.
Although everyone loved to have fun and tried their best to use various jokes to eliminate the shadow brought by the evil cultivator, they still hesitated when they really reached the exit.
Both the entrance and the exit require a master in the Tribulation Period to activate the formation before they can be opened, and the time they remain open will vary depending on the strength of the person who opens it.
The previous entrance was opened by several masters in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, so it was able to last for half a month.
This time the exit was different. Although it was still the familiar water mirror, compared to the one they came in, it was too small, right? And it looked shaky and ready to collapse at any time.
"Why is it so small? Could it be that only one senior opened the exit this time?"
It's not impossible. Maybe the seniors were just being lazy, and the exit opened by one person would definitely be shabby.
Qian Lishen snorted. This sword-fighting meeting was held on their Chuixue Island. This exit must have been opened by his ancestor. These people were complaining about this and that and just looked down on their Chuixue Island!
He went in without saying a word, and Zhu Erchong followed him immediately with a sword in hand: "Hurry up and go find Junior Brother Shen!"
Bao Pilong followed quickly.
Seeing that everyone had left, Wen Yun and Ye Shubai looked at each other.
The two of them didn't really break in accidentally as the younger generation thought. The old guys outside were still waiting for them to come out so that they could snatch their jade baby fragments.
When that group of people see Ye Shubai, they might even lose face and start fighting on the spot.
But now that the exit of the secret realm has been opened, anyone who goes out will surely reveal their whereabouts. Moreover, even if they want to hide in the secret realm, they can only hide for more than ten days. At the end of a month, they will still be kicked out by the secret realm.
By that time, those old dogs will probably have come up with more countermeasures, making it even more troublesome to deal with them.
"Can you beat him?" Wen Yun looked up and asked him.
Ye Shubai lowered his head slightly and looked at her, saying calmly: "You can get away."
After all, he is still the fastest swordsman.
"Very good, you are very aware." Wen Yun praised him with admiration: "Then let's go out and find out what's going on outside. If the old dog dares to attack, we will fight back. This is a good opportunity to take your things back."
That’s right, Wen Yun was planning to go out and rob things.
She is not someone who is willing to hide in the secret realm. If she doesn't take revenge, she will be wronged. She must go out and get the jade baby back.
Now, neither she nor Ye Shubai are at their peak strength, and they are not sure they can win against a group of old monsters in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. But it doesn’t matter if they can’t beat them, as long as they can run away.
Things are different now. Wen Yun has merged the golden elixir and the jade infant, and has vaguely mastered the laws of life and death. If he really fights for his life, he is not without the ability to fight.
And if the other party really only has one person in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, wouldn’t that be like delivering food to your door
Of course, the most important thing is that Wen Yun found a lot of treasures in this Xuantian Secret Realm, so now she is no longer the shabby Wen Yun who regarded even a piece of fire fir wood as a treasure.
Now she is the great magician Wen, holding two random teleportation scrolls in her arms!
In the entire cultivation world, no one knows how to escape better than Wen Yun, no one!
No information was revealed in this short conversation between the two. However, Wan Baocai, who had one foot halfway into the exit, suddenly stopped, then bowed his head respectfully, raised his hands, and bowed deeply.
"Friend Wen."
Wen Yun politely replied, "Yes, I wonder what advice you have for me, Daoist Wan?"
"Just now I heard everyone from the Qingliu Sword Sect call this brother "Junior Brother Ye". I would like to ask what his name is?"
The girl who was polite just now gradually faded her smile, and she said in a light tone: "Oh, him? His name is Ye Xiaobai."
Ye Shubai stared at her silently. Wen Yun felt a little guilty and pretended not to see anything, turning her face away.
Wan Baocai had a strange expression on his face. He repeated the name several times in his heart, then glanced at Ye Shubai's face secretly, and was secretly shocked.
This man's figure and temperament were surprisingly similar to the person in the painting that the elders in the family often worshipped! Although the person in the painting only slightly revealed a small part of his profile, he was horrified when he first saw Ye Shubai.
Since he was a child, he had seen his ancestors worshiping the person in the painting. Later, his grandfather and his father also joined in the worship. Later, when he was older, he also joined in. Year after year, the incense on the altar in the Wan family's ancestral home never stopped.
The ancestor said that he was a great benefactor who had saved the Wan family and was also a true hero. Although this person and this matter should not be spread to outsiders, they must be remembered firmly in our hearts and we would rather die than forget his kindness.
He didn't know what sect this man came from, or his name. The ancestors kept his origins a secret, but Wan Baocai was born with a smart mind and vaguely guessed some clues.
The Wan family has a cold relationship with the Qingliu Sword Sect and they seldom interact with each other, but the elders in the family would occasionally inquire about the news of the Tenth Peak. This behavior did not seem like gathering intelligence, but more like... caring about the people of the Tenth Peak
In addition, the person in the painting is a sword cultivator, so Wan Bao boldly guessed that the benefactor the ancestors were worshipping was a sword cultivator from the Tenth Peak!
And the Ye Shubai in front of him...
Didn't you hear other sword cultivators calling him Junior Brother? How could someone so young be a benefactor
He is most likely the benefactor's grandson, or great-grandson!
He concealed his excitement. Seeing that no one was around, he boldly faced the two and promised sincerely: "The Wan family has received great favors from your ancestors. We saw that group of people were targeting you two before, but we didn't dare to take action because the ancestor who was transcending the tribulation had not arrived. This time, the ancestor should have arrived on the island. If anyone dares to offend you, the Wan family will fight to the death to protect you!"
Wen Yun was a little slow to react. How come someone suddenly blocked the knife for them
At this moment, Wan Baocai's eyes fell on Wen Yun again: "I forgot to say that the three brothers from the Tenth Peak left Qingliu Sword Sect overnight after receiving the letter, and are now staying in our Wan family."
He looked at Ye Shubai again, his expression excited: "I have never heard of you before, I guess you are traveling outside? To be honest, this senior brother, you are so much like your ancestors! I think the three senior uncles will be very pleased to see you!"
Ye Shubai: "..."
Do they dare to try to feel relieved
