Chapter 428: Chapter 261: Cultivation World 51_3
"Someone has entered before, but did not come out alive. However, they left behind a map and a jade scroll for future generations."
"These future generations perished within the Nascent Soul Secret Realm."
Which were then obtained by Xiangyu True Monarch.
"Shall we collaborate to explore this Secret Realm? If successful, more cultivators from the Jiuli Realm will be able to cross tribulation and ascend."
The Sect Master of the Sword Shadow Alliance was the first to speak, "Of course we should."
Other sect masters also expressed the desire to collaborate, as this was an Immortal Realm Secret Realm and surely contained many immortal artifacts, immortal pills, and immortal rank techniques.
"Since everyone wants to collaborate, let’s discuss the details."
They then entered the negotiation phase, arguing endlessly until a result was finally reached.
As the map was provided by the Hundred Battle Sect, anyone entering the Secret Realm would have to pay a fee of one thousand top-grade spirit stones per person.
This is an Immortal Realm Secret Realm, and only cultivators above the Divinity Transformation Stage can enter to explore. Those with lower cultivation would just be courting death.
For cultivators above the Divinity Transformation Stage, this amount of spirit stones is trivial.
Moreover, once inside the Secret Realm, one could obtain treasures far exceeding the value of one thousand top-grade spirit stones.
As for the quotas for entry into the Secret Realm, all the major sects would have the same number of slots.
After the discussion concluded, the sect masters of the major sects left the group chat and then started video calls within their sects to discuss who should explore the Secret Realm.
A month later, participants for the Secret Realm exploration from each major sect were chosen, all of whom were in the Mahayana Realm and Transcendence Tribulation Stage.
The Hundred Battle Sect had just three people: Si Lingle, Jiu Jiu, and Wenzhe Daojun.
Since this is an unknown Secret Realm, not many people need to go. After they explore it, they can go back in the future.
The upper echelons of the sect actually didn’t agree with Si Lingle entering, but Si Lingle used her eloquence to convince them otherwise.
If she were to unfortunately fall, then Changming True Monarch would be the next Sect Master.
Si Lingle also provided a Spiritual Energy Cannon and the control rights to the Floating Island to use in case of encountering formidable enemies.
After three months of preparation, forty-three people set out to find the Immortal Realm Secret Realm.
Four months later, they found the entrance to the Immortal Realm Secret Realm.
Everyone joined forces to open the entrance, and after it was opened, they entered the Immortal Realm Secret Realm.
"Truly worthy of being an Immortal Realm Secret Realm, the concentration of spiritual energy is unmatched by the Lower Realm," Si Lingle remarked.
Si Lingle landed by a large river, released her divine sense, and discovered several spirit plants over a thousand years old.
Si Lingle first released Jiu Jiu from the Life Pearl.
She also released the puppets to have them dig up the spirit plants.
As for the Heavenly Eye, Si Lingle deployed it to search for other people and treasures.
This time, they also have the task of mapping the Secret Realm.
However, the Secret Realm is vast, and even after the Heavenly Eye flew for several days, it still hadn’t found anyone.
Moreover, one of Si Lingle’s Heavenly Eyes was destroyed by a demon beast within the Secret Realm.
Although she had made some Heavenly Eyes herself from materials, these materials were now used up, making repair difficult.
She felt quite distressed over the destruction of one Heavenly Eye.
However, the Heavenly Eye did find several restrictions, all of which were of immortal rank or higher.
After more than a month, Si Lingle and Jiu Jiu arrived at the nearest location of an immortal rank restriction.
They sent robots into the restriction, first to take the treasures within.
Meanwhile, she was studying this immortal rank restriction; if she could decipher it, her array skills would improve significantly.
After over another month, Si Lingle stopped attempting to decode the restriction, as its complexity level was not something that could be solved in a short time.
Prioritizing treasure hunting was more pressing.
As for the restriction, the optical brain had already recorded it.
She planned to study it slowly after leaving the Secret Realm.
Si Lingle checked Jiu Jiu’s location, seeing it was quite a distance away from her.
While she was researching the restriction, Jiu Jiu, out of boredom, went to search for treasures.
Jiu Jiu had a Heavenly Eye with her, so Si Lingle could track Jiu Jiu’s location through the Heavenly Eye.
Three days later, Si Lingle and Jiu Jiu reunited.
"Sister, I found a good place," Jiu Jiu said.
"What place?"
"Follow me," Jiu Jiu led the way.
An hour later, they reached a valley where the Gang Wind roared.
"Sister, watch this," Jiu Jiu said, and then unleashed a Demon Wind. The Demon Wind collided violently with the Gang Wind, creating a space rift.
Through the space rift, one could feel the dense immortal energy beyond.
Si Lingle executed a spell, sending the Heavenly Eye into the rift.
But once inside the rift, the Heavenly Eye lost connection within ten seconds.
This space even isolated the connection between the Heavenly Eye and the optical brain.
It seemed necessary to enter personally.
"Let’s go in and take a look," Si Lingle performed a spatial teleportation, taking Jiu Jiu into the space rift.
Upon entering the space rift, the two were stunned.
All around them were the remains of immortals, standing erect, all with the same hand gestures.
They appeared to have been casting a spell simultaneously.
Si Lingle cautiously examined one corpse, finding that its divine soul was gone, leaving only an empty shell.
Si Lingle extended her divine sense and found that this space contained only corpses, more than a thousand in total.
The positioning of these corpses seemed to form some kind of array, but what kind of array was not yet known.
