Chapter 525 Doomsday Secret Realm
Zhang Yunling finally saw the woman he had been thinking about again.

She is still so beautiful, so charming, so attractive, and makes people's hearts beat fast, and they want to hold her in their arms immediately.

It’s a pity that there were three blurry shadows standing behind him. There was a vague and invisible Taoist aura that turned into severe pressure, pressing down layer by layer, making it impossible for people to get close to them.

It is impossible to approach, but the courage to express emotion is still not small, and it is still very big:

"Wow~ This is the daughter of Taiyin? It's so amazing!"

"As expected of a beauty under the moon, ah! That kind of temperament! That kind of charm! I finally understand why my uncles and forefathers can't forget her so much."

"There is no comparison, there is no comparison at all! Those ordinary Yin Spiritual Roots looked okay before, but now compared with the authentic ones, there is a world of difference!"

"I've made up my mind! I must marry him! Michiko can't stop me! I said it!"

……

Looking around, Zhang Yunling's face suddenly darkened at the sight of his fellow disciples with their eyes wide open.

You guys really don't take me, a Taoist, seriously at all!
All of them have their own way to death!

Fortunately, I have reached the peak of the third level of the Spirit Transformation Realm. With my talent and strength, I have almost no rivals below the Return to Void Realm. Even if these guys of unknown strength and power come at me together, I can handle it by myself.

only……

Zhang Yunling looked at the several Fanxu uncles next to him, and saw that their expressions were not so obvious, but many of them had smiles on their usually cold faces, and their eyes became sharp.

Damn it! There are so many rivals for love after so long! You are thousands or tens of thousands of years old, and you all come to compete with me, a junior, for a Taoist partner. Do you still have any shame?

As expected! I can’t wait any longer. I must send a letter home as soon as possible and ask my family to help me drive these unknown guys away!
No! This won't work either! There are many brothers in my family who are about my age. Although these guys are not as talented as me, many of them are very bold and reckless. You can't be sure what they will do.

Don't drive away a group of wolves and attract a group of tigers. The loss will outweigh the gain.

Hey, I just want to find a wife and be with her for the rest of my life, why is it so difficult?
Just when Zhang Yunling was extremely entangled, Miss Lu Mao in mid-air finally spoke:

"I have never been into this apocalyptic secret realm, so I am not very clear about the specific situation inside, but the aura of doomsday inside is very obvious. There may be extremely powerful monsters, and it is extremely dangerous. Please make full preparations and explore carefully."

"In addition, everyone has already learned the 'Original Vow Merit Sutra' and knows how to gain merit. After entering, please try to save as many natives in the secret realm as possible. Even mortals have human merit. As for heavenly merit, you may need to destroy the monsters in the secret realm. After entering, please explore on your own."

"In short, life and death are determined by fate, and opportunities are in the hands of God. Please work hard and keep a kind heart, and you will be blessed by God!"

After saying that, she threw out a pitch-black gem in her hand. It fell from the sky with a flash and slowly landed in the center of the fairy island called "Danggui". Then it flashed and turned into a pitch-black light gate more than ten feet high.

This is a fifth-order lower-grade fairy island. Previously, there was a fifth-order sword sect on the island where all the people had turned into living dead. All the living dead in the sect have been cleared out by the bald donkeys from the Brahma sect, leaving not a single one behind.

These bald donkeys are just a bunch of beasts. They clearly have the secret technique of merit like the "Sutra of Original Vow and Merit", but they were unwilling to share it at the beginning and tried to take all the merit for themselves.

Fortunately, Uncle Danxi was sharp enough to notice something was wrong, and he contacted the Taoist and Confucian masters, and only then did he obtain the secret method.

Oh, if I had obtained the secret method earlier and killed more evil creatures, maybe I would have reached the fourth level of spiritual transformation!
This humanitarian merit is really a good thing. Otherwise, even with my qualifications, even if I practiced in the clan land of Jiuyang Cave Heaven, it would probably take hundreds of years to enter the third level of the Spirit Transformation. But with the humanitarian merit infused into my body, I reached the peak of the third level in just over a year!

Xiao Maoer! Don't worry! When I become a Taoist, I will be able to protect you! I will come to propose marriage in person and protect you for the rest of your life!
I opened the Great Sun Spirit Pupil and looked at the secret door for a while, but couldn't see anything. I felt that this thing was somewhat similar to the secret doors on Yuanbao Island before, but it was a circle larger, and there was no trace of black air surrounding it, but dots of dim starlight.

Looking back at Xiao Subaru, Zhang Yunling couldn't help but pause.

What's going on? I haven't seen her for more than a year. How come she has already reached the level of a spirit? Wasn't she only at the first level of the Nascent Soul before? How come she has already reached the first level of a spirit now?

Even if a Taoist genius can cultivate quickly, it can't be this fast, right? Ten realms in one year! There is no such example in all the ancient books!

Oh, by the way, she is the leader of the geniuses, and she can ask the three major sects to make a wish for each of them!

Could it be that he wanted some natural treasures or elixirs that could quickly improve his realm? But wouldn't there be any side effects of this realm that was improved by external forces? Wouldn't his foundation feel unstable? Wouldn't it reduce his understanding of the Great Dao?
There are so many similar treasures in my Zhang family's treasury, but none of them were given to me to use. They were afraid that my foundation was not solid and would affect my harmony with the Dao. This kind of relying on external forces to force growth is totally not worth the effort!

Or is she facing some crisis that is forcing her to improve her strength as quickly as possible?
Or is it related to the phantom of a dragon that seemed to be at the Mahayana level on the Fairy Lotus Island a few days ago?
By the way, Xiao Subaru is the leader of the Xianlian Sect, so there must be a relationship. Although I don’t know what the relationship is, the dragon clan is not easy to deal with. They have bad tempers and are extremely ferocious. She must be under a lot of pressure, right?

It's really heartbreaking to see such a weak girl shouldering so much pressure alone! I must help her! I can definitely help her!

I must gain more merits! Integrate with the Dao as quickly as possible! Protect her from the wind and rain!
"Okay, you can go in now! But we don't know what dangers are inside, so I suggest you use clones or puppets to explore the way first."

After saying that, she flew away without looking back.

However, not all three Taoist shadows left. One of the purple shadows stayed, and only the golden and black and white shadows left.

The cultivators from the four families descended in altitude and arrived at the secret gate of the Doomsday Secret Realm. No one was foolish enough to enter directly, but instead came closer to explore, and some even set up formations directly.

Zhang Yunling knew about the Doomsday Secret Realm. As an ancient family that controlled an entire paradise-level secret realm, they had detailed knowledge and teachings about the relevant secret realm.

The essence of the secret realm is fragments of other worlds, or small worlds drifting in the endless void, or fragments of the world left behind when the world of cultivation was shattered in ancient times. Because of the movement of the world of cultivation in the endless void, they are occasionally attracted, captured, and swallowed up, becoming the various secret realms of all sizes in various parts of the world of cultivation.

For example, the Nine Yang Cave Heaven of their Zhang family was originally a small world. It was captured in the void by the founder of the Chunyang Taoist Palace and his disciples. It was taken back and connected with the Chunyang Domain. He also used his great magical powers to completely stabilize the passage and set up formations.

The outstanding disciples of the Taoist Palace can enter and practice with the rich yang-attributed spiritual energy, cultivate special spiritual plants and spiritual beasts with the special spiritual energy inside, and refine secret techniques with special areas like the Nine Yang Pool inside... There are not many secret realms of this level in the entire world of cultivation, and they are the foundation of only the top sects and top forces.

Some secret realms are much smaller and have very simple functions, such as simply producing some spiritual materials, or simply serving as places for disciples to practice, or just being shelters for sects to avoid disasters.

Of course, there are also special ones. For example, some secret realms are not closely connected with the world of cultivation, and they are opened for a very short time, often only once every dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of years, and are often only open for a few months or even a few days.

Or some secret realms have only appeared once in history and have never appeared again, or some secret realms can only allow people below a certain realm to enter because the fragments are too small and the laws of nature are incomplete. If someone at a higher realm enters, the secret realm will be shattered and the entrant will be sent into the endless void to enjoy the baptism package of time and space turbulence.

The Doomsday Secret Realm is also a special kind of secret realm. This kind of secret realm is often on the verge of breaking apart due to some reasons, and all the living creatures inside are about to disappear due to some external forces.

In fact, many secret realms discovered in the world of immortal cultivation are secret realms after the doomsday secret realm. They are dead and lifeless, with no living creatures to be seen. There is even no spiritual energy because of the incomplete way of heaven and the broken earth. Cultivators cannot stay there for long.

It is extremely rare to find a secret realm like this one that is at the doomsday stage and can still be saved. Although this kind of secret realm is dangerous, it can also contain many opportunities, such as spiritual materials unique to the small world, alien creatures, or the cultivation systems of alien creatures. The secret treasures they inherit may reveal many things that the world of cultivation has never had before. According to legend, there are many people who relied on the opportunities in these secret realms to become successful.

These things are tempting enough, not to mention the merits gained after saving the creatures in the secret realm. Having tasted the benefits of merits, no one would not want to get more.

It was obvious that everyone's spell detection and formation probing had no effect. Just like the several secret doors on Yuanbao Island, they could neither be controlled to grow larger nor sealed closed, nor could they find out what was going on inside.

The Brahma sect seemed the most anxious and acted the fastest. They all displayed their magical powers. Some created a clone, some threw out a bronze lion statue, and some offered a magical Buddhist bead with spiritual power...

They were all relatively cautious and followed the warnings. They did not go in personally, but chose to use external objects to explore the way first.

Seeing hundreds of external objects of the Brahma Sect entering the gate to the secret realm one after another, other forces would certainly not stand idly by and watch. They all did not hesitate to expose themselves. Some used secret techniques, some took out magic weapons, some controlled puppets, and all joined in.

Zhang Yunling was naturally unwilling to be left behind, and he took out a golden talisman from his storage bag, bit his tongue, dipped it in blood, and wrote his name on it.

As the last stroke was made, the talisman suddenly caught fire and turned into a burning man.

This is one of the foundations given to him by his family, the Yang Fire Puppet Talisman, which can create a Yang Fire Puppet at the peak level of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Not only can it be controlled freely, but it can also be fed with essence and blood, becoming an intelligent clone.

Although he is unable to cast spells or use magic weapons, he is very powerful in actual combat thanks to his extremely strong Yang Fire that can burn everything. He can also deceive most tracking spells and withstand most curses. In an emergency, he can even take the place of someone else for death. It is the masterpiece of the Chunyang Taoist Palace that has been deducing the art of talismans for tens of thousands of years.

The only drawback is that it is expensive. Even a Taoist like Zhang Yunling only has one on him.

The Yang Fire Puppet appeared, and with their heart and blood connected, Zhang Yunling gained the puppet's perspective and was able to control it as if it were his own arm, steering it step by step into the mysterious door to the secret realm.

The moment the Yang Fire Puppet completely entered the secret realm gate, as expected, the perspective was cut off and the sense of control disappeared instantly. There was no doubt that there was another space over there, and the barrier of the power of the void far exceeded the connection of spiritual consciousness.

Fortunately, with the blessing of essence and blood, a small piece of spiritual consciousness was sealed in the puppet, which allowed it to move independently, observe, and fight. It could not return to the void and almost no one could destroy a Yang Fire Puppet.

Zhang Yunling had already set it up and had the puppet explore in one direction. He did not seek to rescue many people in the secret realm, nor did he seek to kill many evil creatures and monsters. He only wanted to observe more, observe more carefully, and obtain more intelligence. After three days of exploration, no matter what happened, the puppet would return immediately and share the information with him.

This is also what was taught in the family class. It is the standard process for the ancestors of the Taoist Palace to explore the secret realm. Of course, there is also a preparation item of setting up a large formation in front of the entrance to the secret realm to prevent the enemies in the secret realm from following out.

However, there are so many people at the entrance of the secret realm now, with high-level cultivators from the four families gathered together, and there are hundreds of people at the Return to Void level. There are also who knows how many He Dao masters are in charge above the sky, and there is even a leader among the He Dao masters like Ziwei Daojun.

Even if we are going to have a head-on battle with the demons, this lineup is already enough. It can be said that if the Mahayana does not come out, no one can compete with us.

It's impossible for a Mahayana monster to appear in this small doomsday secret realm, right?
The waiting time is always so long that even if you are used to enduring boredom and loneliness, it still makes people anxious.

Fortunately, there are many like-minded people around me, and we can communicate with each other, which helps to relieve some of the stress.

They were all well-known figures of the human race. The distance between the various immortal realms was so great that it was difficult for them to meet on weekdays. Now that they had met so many people of the same level, they naturally chatted happily. Some talked about the improvement of magic, some demonstrated their cultivation skills, some auctioned their exclusive spiritual materials, and some directly started to exchange ideas...

However, over at Chunyang Taoist Palace, many disciples were talking about their destined love, which made Zhang Yunling want to draw out his flying sword and give each of these guys a lesson.

Unfortunately, he is Daozi, the eldest senior brother of the same generation, and due to his status, he cannot take direct action.

I think little Subaru wouldn't like a guy who bullies his fellow disciples, so I still have to maintain my composure.

Fortunately, this time other forces did not send any Daozi-level figures, especially Li Laoyue from the Confucian School who dared to openly set his sights on my wife. As long as I perform well in the Doomsday Secret Realm, I will definitely attract Xiao Subaru's attention!

Time passed in excitement and enjoyment. Everyone's settings were similar, and on the third day, many puppets and treasures came out of the secret door, flew to their masters, and began to communicate.

However, those people clearly showed expressions of surprise on their faces, then quickly became serious and gathered together to discuss.

Each of them has a soundproofing magic circle, which makes people curious and helpless.

Finally, Zhang Yunling's Yang Fire Puppet also rushed out of the secret realm gate. The Yang Fire on its body was extinguished by half, but it was still burning fiercely. It didn't look seriously injured, but for some reason, it consumed a lot of energy.

Without saying a word, Zhang Yunling waved his hand, and a small pure white flame flew out from the center of the Yang Fire Puppet's eyebrows and fell directly into Zhang Yunling's hands.

The memories of the past three days flooded into Zhang Yunling's mind all at once.

First, here is the scene in the secret realm:
There are nine suns in the blue sky!
