Chapter 1269: Chapter 1270: Secret Realm Opens
People who don’t understand the “situation” might think this is filming a historical drama.
“Wow! Which film company is so rich? They actually let so many actors fly in the sky. This must have taken dozens of helicopters, right?”
“It doesn’t seem like there’s any trace of a helicopter. How did they manage this?”
“Could this be the legendary Immortals?”
As cultivators became more active in the secular world, more and more people learned that there were such Immortals in this world. They could ascend to the sky and pierce the earth, capable of anything, worthy of being called deities.
Therefore, when seeing this spectacle, some thought it wasn’t filming but Immortals on a journey.
With the media industry monopolized by clans, ordinary folk rarely learned about the cultivation world. Plus, with the government’s dedicated cooperation, over time, they stopped believing that such Immortals existed.
So when the citizens of Changchun City saw this spectacle, they were surprised and thought this was filming a historical drama.
On the other side, over mountains and across rivers, flying all the way, it wasn’t long before Lin Yifan and his group reached the secret realm’s location.
By then, disciples from various sects had gathered there, quietly waiting for the elders to jointly open the entrance to the secret realm.
Lin Yifan saw familiar faces, several prominent figures from last night’s alliance of major sect bigwigs who wanted him dead.
These people have expended great effort to deal with him, surely they were unwelcome. He thought this secret realm trip might be fraught with various crises.
“In the secret realm, the strong rule. I dare to see how you all can deal with me!”
Lin Yifan was ready.
He feared no encirclement or pursuit, as below the True Master realm, he thought he couldn’t find a worthy opponent.
Xiao Fang also saw the great powers from last night who wanted to harm Lin Yifan. She felt a bit worried because these people were the leading figures in various sects and might incite their disciples to hunt Lin Yifan down in the secret realm.
In the secret realm, there wouldn’t be the Great Elder’s protection anymore, so she was afraid something might happen to Lin Yifan.
“Yifan! Don’t run around once inside. Stay with the main group, okay?”
Their Medicinal Saint Valley’s lineup was formidable, so staying with the main group, if anyone wanted to cause trouble for Lin Yifan, they’d have to consider if it’s worth it.
“Don’t worry, I won’t cause trouble, unless it’s absolutely necessary!” Lin Yifan responded.
He understood what Xiao Fang meant, so he touched Xiao Fang’s hand to reassure her.
All the major sects of the Central Plains Cultivation World had almost arrived, the Cinnabar Palace should be no exception. Lin Yifan looked around, trying to find a disciple of the Cinnabar Palace and thus locate An Qi to see if she came to participate in this secret realm exploration.
After scanning around, having scrutinized disciples from various sects, he didn’t find any trace of Cinnabar Palace’s disciples, leading him to wonder: “Could it be that Cinnabar Palace isn’t participating in this secret realm exploration?”
He only saw female disciples from the Emei Sect, not Cinnabar Palace, so he was confident he wasn’t mistaken.
“Yifan, what are you looking for?” Xiao Fang asked curiously.
“Looking for An Qi, to see if she’s here.” Lin Yifan answered truthfully.
There was nothing to hide; Xiao Fang shouldn’t be jealous.
“Sister An Qi also came to participate in this secret realm exploration?”
Xiao Fang was surprised, her face full of disbelief.
To know that An Qi entered the cultivation world and started cultivating only over a year ago, and now so quickly reached the Divinity Transformation realm, joining them for the secret realm exploration; it seemed out of the four of them, she might be the weakest.
Previously, she was the one with the highest realm, but over a year later, she became the one with the lowest realm, which was quite laughable.
“I don’t know! I’m just checking if she’s here, don’t overthink it.” Lin Yifan replied.
In fact, he had no idea what An Qi’s current realm was, so he really was just casually looking. If he found something, great; if not, it was also expected.
“Oh!”
Xiao Fang let out a sigh of relief. If An Qi indeed came for the secret realm exploration, she wouldn’t know how much pressure she’d feel.
Half an hour later, those who were supposed to come, had arrived, so elders from various sects began collaborating to open the gate to the secret realm.
Having learned from past experiences, the elders from various sects first jointly set up an array to block instant teleport charms, before collaboratively opening the secret realm’s door.
The additional step was to prevent foreign cultivation organizations from sneaking into the secret realm to fish in troubled waters and seize treasures.
The treasures of the Central Plains Cultivation World were not for foreign cultivator organizations.
The array blocking instant teleport charms was quickly set up, and then immediately, the elders from various sects jointly opened the secret realm door.
“Creak!”
Under the immense power, the secret realm door slowly opened.
However, due to limited strength, the secret realm door was only opened a 20 cm wide gap. Disciples from various sects who wanted to enter could only muster their courage.
As power continuously diminished, to not waste time, disciples from various sects swarmed toward that 20 cm wide, brilliantly glowing gap.
“Whiz whiz whiz!”
In an instant, several disciples from major sects disappeared.
With warriors leading the way, those following from various sects were no longer afraid, directly using qinggong, flying toward that narrow gap.
“Whiz whiz whiz!”
Another wave of people disappeared into the dense forest. Gradually, the disciples from various sects became fewer.
As the end approached, disciples from the Cinnabar Palace finally arrived late.
Xuji True Master apologized profusely, briefly explained to old friends, and then ordered Cinnabar Palace disciples to quickly enter.
The reason Cinnabar Palace was late was that they were waiting for a disciple about to exit seclusion. This disciple had astonishing aptitude and cultivated rapidly, but unfortunately lacked real battle experience; the rare secret realm exploration, Xuji True Master sent her here.
They thought they might miss this secret realm exploration, fortunately, at the last moment, they caught up.
Xuji True Master felt gratified, and the ensuing fortune depended on her disciples’ performance.
“I hope I won’t be disappointed!”
She muttered to herself, seemingly implying something more.
As one of the first batch to fly into the secret realm, Lin Yifan had already gained a general understanding of the secret realm’s situation.
The Northeast secret realm was different from the Beixuan Palace secret realm, in that the entire space was dim, with only a bright moon hanging high.
Such an environment was highly advantageous for cultivators who only moved around at night.
Fortunately, this time there were preventive measures; otherwise, if foreign cultivation organizations entered, it would be those in the Central Plains Cultivation World who’d suffer.
Lin Yifan did not separate from the main troop, instead, he stayed among the crowd, traveling with fellow disciples.
Seeing such an environment, the first thought Qiu Yi had was how to eliminate Lin Yifan.
