"Aqing, what happened in the mountains?"
When Lu Qing returned to the small courtyard halfway up the mountain, the old doctor immediately asked.
Lin Zhirui was also in the courtyard.
Even Wei Shanhai could sense the fluctuations coming from the mountains, so those of higher cultivation levels were naturally no exception.
"Master, a secret realm entrance has appeared deep within the Hundred Thousand Mountains. It's still in the process of forming, but it should be completely stable in a few days..."
Lu Qing gave a general overview of the situation in the mountains.
"The entrance to the secret realm? This thing is a huge problem!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhirui immediately gasped.
He knew all too well how much strife had been caused by the recent appearance of those secret realms and blessed lands in Zhongzhou.
Not to mention, the two mysterious figures showed great enthusiasm for the secret realm after they appeared.
If they knew that a secret realm entrance had appeared in the Ten Thousand Mountains, they would definitely rush here.
“It is indeed a bit troublesome. The appearance of the secret realm entrance this time has caused quite a stir. I estimate that it won’t be long before others discover it.” Lu Qing nodded.
The spatial fluctuations emanating from the gate to the secret realm cannot be concealed.
It's just unknown how many people will discover it before the gate to the secret realm is completely stable.
"Young Master Lu, what do you plan to do?" Lin Zhirui asked.
"I want to go into this secret realm!" Lu Qing said without hesitation. "So next, I need to do some things to delay the spread of news about the appearance of the secret realm's entrance as much as possible."
Hearing the determination in Lu Qing's tone, both the old doctor and Lin Zhirui were taken aback.
The old doctor looked at Lu Qing and said, "Ah Qing, do you want to go into this secret realm?"
"Yes." Lu Qing nodded. "Master, I can sense that this secret realm is quite important to me."
"In that case, do as you see fit."
The old doctor did not object and spoke directly to Lu Qingdao.
Because he knew that since Lu Qing's attitude was so firm, he must have already given it full consideration.
“Master, I will be going into the mountains for a few days. I’ll be counting on you to look after the village.”
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
After discussing with his master, Lu Qing returned home. An hour later, a streak of light rose from the Lu family home and flew towards the Hundred Thousand Mountains once again.
Upon arriving at the valley where the gate to the secret realm was located, Lu Qing immediately took out the jade talisman he had left behind.
The jade talisman was something he had refined before; it was a copy talisman.
Its main function is to record images of the surroundings.
After checking, Lu Qing discovered that no one else had been in the valley during the time he was away.
This did not surprise him.
Although the fluctuations emanating from the gate to the secret realm were strong, the environment in the Hundred Thousand Mountains had changed drastically after experiencing the Dao sounds of heaven and earth five times.
The number of poisonous insects and snakes alone has increased several times.
Add to that the miasma and poisonous gas...
It can be said that the Shiwan Mountains have long since become extremely dangerous, and are not places that ordinary people can venture into.
Even martial artists at the Acquired Realm, including those who have reached the Perfect Acquired Realm, will find it extremely difficult to enter this realm.
Only those at the Innate Realm or above have the ability to withstand the various dangers and traverse them.
However, in Cang County, there are only a few people at the Innate Realm, and they are all related to Lu Qing.
Therefore, it is normal that no other cultivators have arrived here in a short period of time.
"Now, let's see how long I can stall."
Lu Qing found a secluded spot outside the valley and completely blended into the mountain atmosphere, hiding himself away.
"Young master, are you sure you want to do this?" Yan asked with some worry. "If those two mysterious people come, we may not be able to escape safely."
It already knew about Lu Qing's plan before it came over.
However, it felt that this move was still too risky.
"According to the information from Tianji Tower, those two mysterious people have recently been exploring those secret realms in Zhongzhou."
After all, Cangzhou is just a remote and small prefecture, far away from the Central Plains.
No matter how strong the fluctuations at the entrance to this secret realm are, they won't reach the Central Plains.
For the next few days, I will try my best to keep news about this secret place a secret.
There is still a very high chance that we can seize the opportunities within that secret realm.
Lu Qing's gaze turned cold as he communicated with "Yan" through telepathic communication.
He sat cross-legged outside the valley, and the closer he got to the gate to the secret realm, the stronger the attraction he felt from within.
If he hadn't had enough self-control, he probably wouldn't have been able to resist forcing his way in.
It's easy to imagine that the opportunities within the secret realm would be extremely useful to him.
For such an opportunity, a little risk is well worth taking.
Now, we're just waiting for the day when the gate to this secret realm stabilizes.
...
On the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains, two figures were using their movement techniques to travel into the mountains.
Whoosh!
A flash of sword light cleaved a venomous snake in two, which fell to the ground and writhed wildly.
"The mountains of this remote small state have become so dangerous. The speed of this venomous snake is no less than that of a martial artist in the Inner Strength Realm."
A middle-aged man holding a short sword looked at the venomous snake struggling and writhing on the ground, his expression somewhat solemn.
“Spiritual energy has been reviving for some time now, and our cultivation levels have all improved. Naturally, these creatures born of nature will also mutate.”
Another burly man carrying two short guns on his back said, seemingly unconcerned.
His gaze was fixed on the depths of the mountains.
"On the contrary, this fluctuation suggests that something unusual may be happening in these mountains."
"I suspect some kind of destiny is about to unfold, Brother Zhou. It seems our luck is about to change!"
The middle-aged man holding the short sword looked somewhat excited.
The two brothers originally chose to travel to other states to escape the turmoil in the Central Plains.
Unexpectedly, this strange fluctuation was felt in this remote Cangzhou.
"We must not be careless. The range of this fluctuation is so large, almost covering half of Cangzhou. There must be other powerful individuals who can sense it."
The burly man carrying two short guns was not as optimistic as his companions.
"What's there to be afraid of? How many people at the Innate Realm can there be in this tiny Cangzhou?"
If you and I, brothers, join forces, we may not be able to sweep across the land, but we are certainly not something that the martial artists of this remote little state can withstand.
"Hurry up, Brother Zhou, I can feel the fluctuations getting stronger."
Urged on by the middle-aged man wielding a short sword, the two quickened their pace and headed toward the direction from which the fluctuations originated.
Along the way, the venomous insects and snakes, though formidable, could not hinder their progress in °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° the slightest.
Finally, after a long journey, the two arrived at a valley.
They could sense that the strange fluctuations that had been drawing them in were right ahead.
"What's this?"
When they saw the black vortex in the valley, emanating intense fluctuations, they were both stunned.
But the next moment, darkness enveloped the two of them.
The tempered will of the Innate Realm, forged through countless trials, had no effect whatsoever, and the two instantly fell into a coma.
