Chapter 528: Whereabouts 1
[She is Bai Guang, the maiden saintess of the Bai clan, and beloved disciple of the Eastern Immortal Palace’s sect master.] The double revealed and Zhen Yuan narrowed his eyes.
[What is she doing here? Isn’t she supposed to be in the upper heaven?] He asked and Shen Xu nodded.
[Although Bai Guang was a major character in the latter plot, the book followed Xiao Weimin’s journey so we don’t know much about her before she met the main protagonist.] He said and Zhen Yuan nodded in understanding.
Xiao Weimin was the immortal realms child of luck while Bai Guang was a powerful god who had reincarnated to the immortal realm for her tribulation.
That said, she didn’t regain her memories until she returned to the God realm.
[How should with this?] Zhen Yuan asked.
[In the book, Xiao Weimin and Bai Guang were not lovers but they were good friends. She helped the main protagonist a lot when they ascended to the god realm.] The double said and Zhen Yuan nodded.
[You want to befriend her?] He asked but Shen Xu shook his head.
[Bai Guang is not a villain but she is self-righteous. I don’t want to get involved with her.] He said but also knew that this first encounter couldn’t be avoided.
"Fellow immortals seem to have returned from the depths of the forest. Do you have a moment to talk to us?] One of the male cultivator asked and Shen Xu sighed before speaking.
"My partner and I didn’t reach the depths. We only reached a short distance from here before we were forced to escape." He said.
"Escape? You encountered danger?" Another male cultivator asked and the double nodded.
"A demon tree. We killed it but were also injured and had to retreat to these edges."
"I see." The male cultivator said, scrutinising the two for any signs of lying.
When he saw that they didn’t seem to be lying, he nodded and continued.
"The exit is not far from here. You can leave if you don’t want to stay longer." He said and Shen Xu nodded.
"The fellow daoists should be careful. This forest is not a good place." He said, looking afraid which dispelled the suspicion from the six people’s hearts.
After the brief encounter, the two groups separated and walked in different directions.
Three days later, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan saw the exit and couldn’t help but be relieved.
At a glance, the exit was unguarded but several cultivators were standing around.
"I thought we would get a lot of treasures since this unknown area had just appeared but I didn’t expect it to be so dangerous." One of the cultivators said and sighed in helplessness.
"We should have waited for fourth uncle to come with us." Another said.
"Why don’t we go to Fu’an to wait for him?"
Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan exchanged a glance when they heard this.
A moment later, Zhen Yuan took out a map and unrolled it.
[Fu’an town is a third-tier city in the Eastern region of the lower heaven. Based on the information we have, the city lord should be either an early stage or mid stage heaven immortal.] He said and Shen Xu nodded.
[We finally know where we are.] He said and quickly continued.
[Let’s go to Fu’an town.] He said.
[Mmh.] Zhen Yuan hummed but his eyes were still on the map.
[There are several villages along the way. We can go there to sell some of the things we have.] Shen Xu suggested and Zhen Yuan agreed.
With that, Shen Xu took out a level ten ship refined from the bones of an immortal beast and the two got on.
.....
While Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu were heading to Fu’an town, Yang Shi, Yin Shi, and Hu Jiaojiao sat around an open fire, fumbling over a large piece of immortal monster meat.
"The meat will burn if we let it roast more." Hu Jiaojiao said.
"Wasn’t it like this last time? We thought it was done but when we cut it, the meat was bloody." Yin Shi complained and quickly continued.
"We should let it cook more." She said.
"Do you think master and lord Zhen have already arrived in the upper heaven?" Yang Shi asked and Yin Shi immediately turned to look at him.
"How do you know we are in the upper heaven?" She asked.
"Jiaojiao told me." Yang Shi said and Yin Shi turned to Hu Jiaojiao.
"Didn’t we agree that we are in a secret realm? Why did it turn to the upper heaven?" She asked and Hu Jiaojiao sighed before speaking.
"The immortal aura in this secret realm is dense and pure. This level of secret realm can’t exist in the Lower and middle heavens." She said.
"We have been trapped in this godforsaken place for more than ten thousand years and we can’t find a way out. It’s really inexplicable." Yang Shi complained.
"We may be trapped but this place has many resources. We are not at a loss." Hu Jiaojiao said.
"Maybe we will be able to leave when our cultivation reaches a certain level." Yin Shi guessed.
"We are already level fourteen monsters. How high does our cultivation need to be?"
"Level fourteen monsters are nothing in the upper heavens." Hu Jiaojiao said and continued.
"We are actually lucky. Although we are trapped, we are the only ones here and are safe for the time being. What we need to do is increase our strength so that we won’t drag master and lord Zhen down." She said.
"This place is actually very suitable for cultivation." Yin Shi observed.
Yin Shi refined the primordial blood grass while in the Xuanwu secret realm.
After ascending, she entered an ascension pool and along with transforming her qi, her bloodline purified and she became a pureblood ten elements honey bee.
Later, she met Yang Shi and Hu Jiaojiao and they explored the secret realm together.
Over time, they discovered that the secret realm was very suitable for them and not only had suitable resources but also monsters and demon plants that were good opponents for honing their combat ability.
"We will eventually be able to go out. For now, let’s just continue practising." Hu Jiaojiao said and the other two nodded in agreement.
