Cultivate steadily, the whole world of cultivating immortals is my home

Chapter 185 Forced into a secret realm
The colorful treasure ship crossed the coast and the Fuqiu Sea Area, all the way to the junction of Fuqiu and the Kraken Sea Area.

Shen Lian also sank into the water and followed along. He inquired all the way, but didn't hear much useful stuff.

However, he was not in a hurry.

It has now been confirmed that the two monks on the colorful boat, Luo Yongduan and Huang Haisheng, are both Five Spiritual Root Golden Elixir monks, and both have cultivation traditions.

Luo Yongduan was born in the Dongsheng Sect in the East China Sea Region. This sect was more powerful than the Yunshang Sect and had two Nascent Soul Lords in charge.

Huang Haisheng was born in a Jindan sect in the East China Sea.

Not to mention Huang Haisheng, Luo Yongduan alone must have a complete golden elixir cultivation method.

A few days later, the treasure ship arrived at the waters of Wanhua Island.

In the past, because it was close to the sea monster sea area, there were basically no human monks visiting it. But now, there are many monks coming and going on Wanhua Island, and there are even spirit boats and spirit ships passing through.

In the further direction, there were demon clan and human monks fighting each other.

The opening of the mysterious realm of the vast sea attracted the arrival of human monks, which naturally alerted the monsters on the Siren Island chain.

The third-order monster kings that used to live on Siren Island frequently appeared in the nearby sea area, and the second-order monster groups even traveled underwater.

In addition to the human race and demon race, even the sea race also came to join in the fun.

After entering this area, Shen Lian inevitably encountered some small monsters when he was water-escaping, and he killed them all and pocketed them.

The secret realm of the vast sea is located on Wanhua Island. The entire island stretches for three thousand miles. The mountains on the island are like dragons, with dragons and tigers sitting on top.

When Shen Lian landed on the island, he found that there were shops one after another on the island, with monks of all sizes coming in and out, making it a lively scene.

Outside the uneven streets, there were monks setting up stalls.

Outside the city, there are dozens of monks wearing different sect costumes but with foundation-building abilities patrolling around the island.

These are patrol teams composed of elite disciples from various sects selected by Yunshang Sect.

With the Yunshang Sect's signboard, even if there are many Jindan monks coming and going, they are all honest and no one dares to act arrogantly on the island.

"What a great Yunshang Sect, he has a hand in everything."

After setting foot on the island's Fang City, Shen Lian sensed his target and looked at the scene on the island.

Speaking of which, from the first time he heard the name of Yunshang Sect, all the way from south to north, any large-scale secret realm must have involved Yunshang Sect.

There is nothing that can be done about it, the South China Sea region belongs to the Yunshang Sect.

"Ok!"

As he walked, Shen Lian's spiritual thoughts stagnated slightly, and then his expression changed.

The target he was targeting disappeared deep into the mountains, and that direction was the entrance to the Hanhai Secret Realm, and was guarded by Yunshang Sect monks.

Walking into a wine shop, Shen Lian casually ordered a few drinks and dishes.

Those who were able to open shops on the island where the secret realm is located in such a short period of time are mostly behind the major Jindan forces. It can be said that the high-level resources in the South China Sea have long been divided up by these Jindan and Nascent Soul forces.

Even the business of these merchants is monopolized by them.

After drinking, Shen Lian threw down a few spiritual stones and headed towards the depths of the island.

Although the Vast Sea Secret Realm does not exclude monks from all realms from entering, the people in Fang City are all Qi Practitioners and Foundation Builders. They know that the detailed information is limited, and most of them just follow what others say, which is of little use.

If you want to find out more about the secret, you can only find the golden elixir of the same realm.

It seems that we have to use the old method and let the black horned ant army attack.

His original intention was not the secret realm, but the Five Spirit Root monks who came here.

Going deep into the depths of Wanhua Island, Shen Lian saw the mountains shrouded in blue mist in the center of the island.

The blue mist is like a mushroom cloud, floating in the air, constantly sucking in blue water vapor from below, and then pouring it down all around again.

After taking a look, Shen Lian raised his eyes and looked into the distance.

Just looking at the vast mountains, a bright forbidden aura suddenly lit up, and then several auras suddenly appeared.

You can sense from the aura that the strength is strong or weak, from the early stage of the golden elixir to the middle stage of the golden elixir.

call out!
call out!
call out!
Five rays of spiritual light rushed towards Shen Lian from everywhere, and suddenly the figures of three men and two women were revealed on the surrounding mountain tops and in mid-air.

All of them are Jin Dan Zhenren.

The leader was wearing a yellow robe with clouds embroidered on his chest and cuffs, representing his origin from the Yunshang Sect.

The other four people, whose robes were embroidered with different emblems, were obviously monks from different sects.

At this moment, the five monks surrounded Shen Lian, each breathing heavily, likely to fight if there was any slight movement.

"Lu You of Yuyang Sect has met all fellow Taoists."

Seeing this, Shen Lian cupped his hands towards the people present.

"Yuyang Sect?"

The leading Yunshang Sect Jindan monk frowned, and the rest of the sect monks also frowned. The name of this sect was very unfamiliar to them.

"Your Excellency, are you from the outside world?"

"Yes."

Shen Lian nodded, "I was traveling around and happened to come to your place. I didn't expect that a secret realm would be opened, so I came here to join in the fun."

"Although Fellow Daoist Lu is an outsider, haven't you heard rumors in the city that the entrance to the secret realm has been guarded by our sects. If you want to enter the secret realm, you need to report in advance and receive the identity jade talisman?"

The leading Yunshang Sect monk looked at Shen Lian coldly. Sensing Shen Lian's aura at the early stage of the golden elixir, there was a flash of contempt in his eyes and a hint of condescension in his words.

"Excuse me, I was rude."

Shen Lian's posture was very low, as if I was scared.

He did not expect that the Yunshang Sect was so domineering that they gathered monks from various sects in advance and surrounded the vast sea secret realm.

Damn it, having Nascent Soul is awesome.

Currently surrounded by five golden elixirs, and strong restrictions can still be sensed around him, he still has to pretend to be a grandson when it is time to pretend.

Whenever these guys were in the large formation he arranged and surrounded him like this, he would give them a big blow each.

"Then come with me to apply for the identity jade talisman."

"Dare to obey."

Seeing Shen Lian being so well-behaved, the auras of the monks present calmed down a bit, so they surrounded Shen Lian and flew towards the bottom of the blue mist in the distance.

Along the way, Shen Lian had a smile on his face.

After sensing the dense restrictions inside and outside the mountains, his smile became more genuine.

The group of people fell into a valley, which was completely shrouded in blue mist, and entered a cave shrouded in a formation.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please."

Ji Lingyun waved his hand and placed a jade talisman in front of Shen Lian, "After leaving the mark, you can enter the secret realm."

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows, and he realized that he seemed to be in a wolf's mouth.

The identity jade talisman is nothing, many forces have this kind of disposable magic weapon, but judging from the intention of these people, they want to push him into the secret realm to explore the path.

At this thought, Shen Lian sneered in his heart, but the movements of his hands were very deft. He quickly recognized the jade talisman and handed it over to several people around him, and remembered the appearance and breath of each person.

"Fellow Taoist, there are endless opportunities in the vast secret realm. I wish you great blessings."

Master Jindan Yuqin of the Qiaoyin Sect covered his mouth and smiled softly, with a hint of charm.

"Thank you." After leaving the cave, Shen Lian headed towards the entrance of the secret realm surrounded by the spiritual thoughts of several people.

The blue mist derived from the secret realm of the vast sea is actually the fetal membrane of the secret realm. As long as you find the right place, you can also enter the secret realm.

This was Shen Lian's original intention. He would first observe and spread black-horned ants on the island, waiting for a five-lingen soft persimmon.

Or, see if you can fish in troubled waters.

Unexpectedly, Yunshang Sect sent so many monks to guard outside the secret realm and was banned before leaving the army.

If there were only these five golden elixir monks in front of him, he wouldn't be afraid. At worst, he would just run away.

But among the mountains and plains, there were still the auras of other Golden Elixir monks. He had better stop trying to be clever and just be an ordinary early-stage Golden Elixir monk.

In addition, the Yunshang Sect led people to station here and sent foreign Jindan monks into the secret realm, mostly to explore the inside of the secret realm.

It's hard to say that when he comes out of the secret realm, he will be searched.

Deep in the valley, a blue mist formed a whirlpool, surrounded by countless forbidden spiritual lights, and powerful auras shot straight into the sky.

The vast aura rushed out through the blue mist.

"Fellow Daoist, please."

After standing outside the blue vortex for a moment, Shen Lian heard the words of the mid-stage Jindan monk from Yunshang Sect.

"It really forces people to go in."

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows. It seemed that no matter where he went, he couldn't handle the matter of watching what others ordered. He, an outsider, was treated like a persimmon.

The spiritual thought fell on the blue vortex and was bounced back in an instant. The scene inside the secret realm could not be seen at all.

The next moment, Shen Lian's figure crashed into the blue vortex.

……

"Fellow Daoist Ji, these are No. 20 and seven."

At the mouth of the whirlpool, several figures appeared, and Master Huo Luo of the Huo Chong Sect spoke softly.

Ji Lingyun nodded. Since they were ordered to station here, they have sent 27 Jindan Taoists into the secret realm.

None of the Jindan monks who entered came out.

"Fellow Taoists, please continue to inspect the area according to the previously arranged area. We must not allow outsiders to take advantage of the loopholes and enter the secret realm from other places, thereby exceeding our control."

The four Jindan monks nodded and then flew towards their respective areas.

Being able to follow the Yunshang Sect to sit in the secret realm, it goes without saying much about the relationship between their sect and the Yunshang Sect.

There are nearly a hundred Jindan forces, large and small, in the South China Sea. With so many Jindan sects added together, the Yunshang Sect is also afraid that new Nascent Soul monks will appear one day to compete with them.

For this reason, cultivating the Jindan Sect that is close to Yunshang Sect has always been the established strategy of Yunshang Sect.

For example, the four Jindan monks present were admitted to the Yunshang Sect when they were still young as immortals, and they were continuously trained by the Yunshang Sect on their way to practice.

In the South China Sea, there are more than 20 sects that have received such training from the Yunshang Sect, and some are even sects established by disciples of the Yunshang Sect.

As a sect that is close to Yunshang Sect, whenever Yunshang Sect has something to do, it is the first to recruit these sect monks to do things.

Seeing the monk behind him leaving, Ji Lingyun silently took out a jade talisman for communication.

"Sixth Elder, the number of Jindan monks who have entered the secret realm has reached 27, including seven from outside the realm. The remaining monks are from..."

"I have left misty moths on the bodies of those who enter. Our monks can locate their locations after entering the secret realm and can take action at any time."

"Do your best to guard the entrance."

A majestic voice sounded from the messenger jade talisman. Ji Lingyun's expression tightened and he quickly accepted the order.

There are now nearly a hundred Jindan forces in the South China Sea, and there are two hundred to three hundred Jindan monks in the open and covert world. Among them, there are more than thirty people in the late Jindan and Dzogchen levels according to sect monitoring.

Most of the monks who can be promoted to the golden elixir are monks with high-grade spiritual roots. These people are likely to be promoted to the Nascent Soul.

Therefore, for many years, the sect has been secretly implementing the strategy of 'reducing the elixir', using some secret realms, opportunities, etc. to suppress or even kill potential golden elixir monks.

The secret realm of the vast sea is one of the places where the 'reduction of elixirs' strategy is implemented. It is completely reasonable for each sect's golden elixir to enter the secret realm to seize the opportunity and die in the dangerous place of the demon king in the secret realm.

This kind of thing is actually not a secret in any sect, but with Ancestor Molong around, this secret has always been under the water, and no one dares to say it openly.

Besides, monk practice does not mean to avoid danger when encountering it. More monks will feel that they are capable enough to suppress all dangers.

……

Within the secret realm, Shen Lian plunged into a jungle dozens of feet high, surrounded by intertwined leaves and branches, and covered with a layer of strange mist, blocking his sight.

After flying hundreds of miles, he landed in a remote valley.

His spiritual thoughts swept across the surrounding mountains and fields, and except for a small group of wild-haired rats, there were no other monsters.

"Owner."

He gently touched the spiritual beast bracelet with his palm, and the big black light turned into a black light and fell in front of him.

"Owner."

After shouting, the small spirit beast bracelets on Dahei's two big horns lit up with black and red light.

Black-horned demon ants and red-crystal black-horned ants flew out carrying the nests and immediately burrowed under the ground.

"Roar!"

At this time, the dull beast roar sounded, and the violent breath formed ripples, sweeping in from the distant mountain col, causing the grass and trees to sway.

But the distance should be very far, otherwise if the airflow reaches here, it will not only cause the trees to sway.

The terrifying aura scared Dahei and jumped into Shen Lian's arms.

"Master, I'm so scared."

Shen Lian rolled his eyes, grabbed Dahei's black horn and threw it away.

After the black horned ant nest here settled down, Shen Lian's figure merged into the jungle in a flash, just like laying an egg. Every once in a while, a ball of black light fell into the ground.

……

"Human, die!"

Among the mountains, a three-foot-long black bear with black fur and blood-red eyes roared, and then a bear paw covered with thick down came out.

The bear's paw fell, seemingly lightly and without any force.

But the terrifying demon power swept across and enveloped a human golden elixir opposite him under the bear's paw.

No matter how much magic power gathered around him, he was shattered into pieces by the bear's paw, and then was blasted away with a slap.

Five sharp claws emerged from the bear's paw, and the bloody aura emitted impacted the surrounding mountains and forests. Five bloody lights formed in the sky, and all fell on the golden elixir monk who flew out.

"Hiss, so cruel."

In the forest, Shen Lian showed his head. He couldn't help but hissed when he saw the figure whose chest was cut open in the air and even the golden elixir was knocked out.

"Roar!"

The blood-eyed black bear let out a long roar, and grabbed forward with his big hand. The blood and cracked flesh were collected into the bear's paw, and he put it into his mouth and chewed it.

While eating, he walked towards the valley behind.

After taking two steps, he stopped chewing, opened his mouth and spit out a storage ring, which was nailed to the cliff outside the valley.

Taking a closer look, he saw three storage rings embedded in the cliff.
