Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Seeing that Song Qingming made the matter sound so serious, Huang Siyuan and the others didn't say anything more. They all nodded to him calmly and gave him a look of trust.

Song Qingming has served as the head of the Song family for more than a hundred years. Under his leadership, the entire family has prospered and has hardly stopped its upward trend.

Therefore, over the years, everyone in the Song family, from top to bottom, has been very convinced of him as the patriarch, and few people would question what Song Qingming said or the decisions he made.
-
More than half a month later, a ray of white light flew over an unnamed island in the Tianyuan Sea area off the coast and landed directly on a huge reef in the southeast of the island.

After the spiritual light faded away, a flying boat about ten feet long slowly emerged in the air.

After confirming the familiar island in front of him, Song Qingming calmly jumped off the flying boat with everyone, and then put the "Phantom Boat" in the air into the storage magic weapon.

"You guys rest here for a while and wait for me. I'll go see if there are any monsters hiding nearby." After giving instructions to Huang Siyuan and the others, Song Qingming stepped into the air again and turned into a beam of light and disappeared in mid-air.

This small island was the one where Song Qingming discovered the secret realm of "Tianyuan Sect" alone when he was traveling in the East China Sea and hunting monsters nearby with Li Xianyun and others.

In order to avoid the evil wind and beast tide, Song Qingming accidentally broke into the underground cave of the island. As a result, he discovered the remains of Zhao Jibai and the ancient secret realm of Tianyuan Sect.

Unfortunately, the secret realm had not yet been opened. After trying for a while, Song Qingming still failed to enter the secret realm. He could only leave here with some regrets.

Now, several decades have passed. According to Song Qingming's estimation, the barrier at the entrance to the secret realm should have become weak, and it is almost time to open the secret realm and enter it.

This time when he came to the East China Sea, in addition to selling monster materials and purchasing spiritual objects needed by the family, the most important thing in Song Qingming's mind was to open this secret realm located in the outer sea.

This kind of secret realm left behind by an ancient sect would be coveted even by the Nascent Soul Sect. Once the news leaked, Song Qingming and his men would absolutely not be able to protect this place.

Therefore, over the years, Song Qingming never mentioned this matter to people around him. Even on the way here, facing the questions of Huang Siyuan and others, he still chose not to explain the matter.

Tianyuan Sea Area is located in the open sea, so there are not only many monsters but also cultivators who occasionally come here to hunt monsters. It is not a safe place and you need to be careful no matter what you do here.

On the way here, they had already encountered several Jindan-level demon kings. Fortunately, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan both had strong magical powers, and they quickly repelled the attacks of the demon kings without encountering too much danger.

After patrolling around the island, Song Qingming only found a few low-level monsters and did not see those dangerous monster kings. Only then did he feel relieved and returned to the reef where Huang Siyuan and the others were.

Then Song Qingming found a relatively safe place on the island, waved his hand, took out four formation flags, and set up a hidden magic formation.

"Siyuan and I are going to get some things downstairs. Yuanqian and Xuanfeng, you stay here. If any outsiders or powerful demon kings come to the island, send a message to inform us immediately.

Remember, this is the open sea, there are dangers everywhere, you must not walk out of the formation and expose your position. If you really encounter an emergency, you can use this talisman to lead the way down to find us. "

The magic circle set up by Song Qingming was of the second-grade upper grade, which could perfectly hide the figures and auras of the two of them. As long as they were not too unlucky and encountered those powerful demon kings approaching the magic circle, it would be unlikely for them to be discovered under normal circumstances.

After leaving Song Yuanqian and Song Xuanfeng on the island to guard, Song Qingming took Huang Siyuan and fell into the sea below. Based on the clues he had written down that year, he found the entrance to the cave submerged deep in the sea.

After sneaking all the way, the two soon surfaced and arrived at the cave in the middle of the island.

"I didn't expect there was another cave underneath. How did you find this place, husband?"

After taking out a night pearl to illuminate the surroundings, Huang Siyuan quickly discovered some abnormalities in the cave and asked Song Qingming who was walking in front.

"I discovered this place by accident when I was traveling nearby. There is a secret place left by an ancient sect hidden underneath. I brought you here this time just to see if I can find any good things inside."

Having brought them here, Song Qingming had nothing to hide, so he talked as they walked, telling Huang Siyuan the whole story of how he discovered the ruins of the "Tianyuan Sect".

"There is actually an ancient secret realm here. Even the Yuanying Sect is fighting for it. It is something that my husband has this opportunity. We really didn't expect it."

After hearing Song Qingming's explanation, Huang Siyuan couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise. She felt a little bit unbelievable that Song Qingming could get such a great opportunity.

Seeing this, Song Qingming smiled and explained, "When I first came here, I couldn't believe it, but what I said is indeed true.

It's just that the secret realm hadn't been opened yet, so we couldn't get in. We didn't know if there were any good things inside, so you don't need to get too excited now."

“Even if there aren’t many good things in this secret realm left by an ancient sect, it can’t be empty!”

"Haha! Thousands of years have passed. Who knows what the situation is inside? I'm just afraid that you are too happy now. If you don't find any treasure later, you will be disappointed again." Song Qingming smiled and shook his head.

As the two were talking, they had already passed through a group of caves that stretched in all directions and arrived in front of a mountain wall.

When Song Qingming left, he deliberately set up a sealing magic circle at the entrance of the secret realm to cover the cave.

Seeing that the magic circle on the mountain wall in front of him had not been destroyed by anyone, Song Qingming felt relieved. He stepped forward and directly removed the magic circle. Soon, a hole more than one person high appeared in front of the two of them.

After entering the cave, Song Qingming hurriedly stepped forward to shut down the "Golden Sun Five Thunder Formation" that was running above his head, and then took Huang Siyuan into the stone chamber where Zhao Jibai's remains were found.

"This is it!"

After taking a quick look at the empty stone chamber, Song Qingming came to a stone platform in the middle of the stone chamber and confirmed the location to enter the secret realm.

"Siyuan! When I open the secret realm, don't rush in. I will notify you when it is safe."

Hearing Song Qingming's kind advice, Huang Siyuan nodded calmly and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do. My husband, you should also pay attention to safety. If it's too dangerous, we shouldn't force ourselves to go in this time. We can come back later when our cultivation is higher.

As long as you can break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future, you should be able to enter this secret realm at any time, so there is no need for us to rush."

"Yes! I know my limits and won't act rashly."

After hearing Song Qingming's response, Huang Siyuan immediately turned around and walked to the entrance to the side to prevent herself from disturbing Song Qingming from opening the secret realm.

After Huang Siyuan left, Song Qingming did not rush to open the secret realm. Instead, he sat down cross-legged, took out a medium-grade spirit stone, and began to quickly recover his mana.

It was not until half an incense stick of time had passed that Song Qingming, who had adjusted himself to a perfect state, stood up.

Immediately afterwards, Song Qingming's body flashed with inspiration, and with a serious face he took out a snow-white jade magic weapon that he had prepared long ago.

This item is the special magic weapon that he got from Zhao Jibai to open the secret realm. After so many years, it is still as new as ever.

After a while, Song Qingming, who was holding the white jade token in his hand, cast a spell. The jade token quickly emitted a burst of spiritual light and automatically flew into the air, beginning to frantically absorb the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

After a long while, the white jade plate finally absorbed enough spiritual energy and began to spin rapidly in the air, forming a huge spiritual energy vortex with a radius of more than ten feet.

After the spiritual energy vortex had been spinning for a while, the spiritual energy on it became heavier and heavier, and soon it turned into a spiritual energy spring. Soon the spiritual energy in the entire stone chamber also became extremely rich.

Huang Siyuan, who was standing not far away, saw this somewhat shocking scene and also opened her curious eyes wide, with a look of anticipation on her face.

"Haha! The notes in the notebook are indeed correct. The barrier of the secret realm has become much weaker than last time. Now is the right time. We should be able to enter."

After Song Qingming thought to himself, he used his hands to cast a spell again and took out a magic weapon called "Golden Treasure Halo".

Then, under the activation of Song Qingming's spell, this magic weapon became several times larger and crashed into the vortex of spiritual energy in the air with a powerful force.

After a loud "bang", Song Qingming was somewhat surprised that the "Golden Treasure Halo" was actually bounced back directly by the vortex of spiritual energy, and did not allow him to open the barrier of the entrance to the secret realm as he wished.

Seeing this, a burst of green spiritual energy immediately emerged from Song Qingming's body, directly wrapping up the "Golden Treasure Halo" and accumulating strength again to crash into the spiritual energy vortex.

This time, although the entrance barrier was still not opened, the strengthened "Golden Treasure Halo" was much more powerful than before, and it had already caused a crack in the barrier above the spiritual energy vortex.

Seeing that the attack just now worked, Song Qingming's face suddenly lit up with joy. He injected his magic power into the "Golden Treasure Halo" again, and commanded this magic weapon to continue attacking the barrier of the entrance to the secret realm.

Seeing this, Huang Siyuan, who was standing by, immediately flew over and took out her flying sword magic weapon to help Song Qingming attack the barrier.

In this way, waves of violent collisions continued to sound. After the two of them worked continuously for half an hour, the barrier in the middle of the spiritual energy vortex finally broke. Then a very unfamiliar spiritual energy came out from it, causing Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan to change their expressions.

"Have you opened the secret realm barrier?"

Hearing Huang Siyuan's question, Song Qingming, who had put away the magic weapon "Golden Treasure Halo" in front of him, smiled and nodded and said: "This barrier is indeed a bit troublesome for us Jindan cultivators, but fortunately it was finally opened successfully!"

"Look at the rich spiritual energy emanating from here. There must be something inside. We won't return empty-handed this time." After feeling the spiritual energy emanating from the entrance, Huang Siyuan's face slowly revealed a hint of joy.

"I hope it's true as you say!"

After opening the entrance to the secret realm, Song Qingming was not in a hurry to try to enter the secret realm. Instead, he took out a few spirit stones and began to sit in place to recover his own magic power.

About a quarter of an hour later, feeling that the spiritual energy at the entrance to the secret realm had slowly stabilized, Song Qingming opened his eyes and stood up.

Under Huang Siyuan's gaze, Song Qingming first took off the spirit beast bag from his waist, released several colorful "Golden Fantasy Butterflies", and then began to cast a spell to control them to fly towards the entrance of the secret realm.

After these "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" arrived at the vortex of spiritual energy and circled for more than ten times, they suddenly dived into the vortex and soon disappeared.

A moment later, Song Qingming, who was closing his eyes and using his spiritual sense to maintain contact with the "Golden Fantasy Butterfly", suddenly felt the information sent back from them after a period of silence.

Upon learning that these "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" were safe and sound after entering the vortex, Song Qingming immediately showed a hint of excitement on his face, and he turned to look at Huang Siyuan beside him.

"This is a twin spirit talisman. When I go in later, if you see the talisman self-destruct, it means I have confirmed that there is no danger inside, and you can come in directly.

If the talisman is fine, then don't rush in! If I still don't have any news within three days, you should take Yuan Qian and the others away from here and return to the Floating Cloud Mountains to ask Senior Sister Bai and Senior Uncle Li for help. "

As Song Qingming spoke, two identical white talismans appeared in his hand, and he handed one of them to Huang Siyuan.

This twin talisman is a second-level talisman that Song Qingming purchased in "Tian Dan City" some time ago. This item does not have any significant effect, but is only useful in transmitting messages. It was also specially prepared by Song Qingming for entering the secret realm.

Although Song Qingming had been into the secret realm several times before with Huo Feng and had a general idea of ​​what was inside, he did not find any danger in the notes Zhao Jibai left about the secret realm.

However, this was the first time that Song Qingming entered the secret realm of "Tianyuan Sect". He did not dare to be too careless and only brought Huang Siyuan and the others here after he was fully prepared.

"Yes! I've made a note of it. Husband, please be careful!"

In response to Song Qingming's instructions, Huang Siyuan immediately spoke after taking the talisman, her eyes remained firm and full of confidence in his trip.

Song Qingming nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and flew to the entrance to the secret realm in mid-air.

To be on the safe side, he summoned his life-saving magic weapon, the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror", from his body and protected himself around it before transforming into a beam of light and plunging directly into the vortex of spiritual energy in front of him.

A moment later, after experiencing a familiar feeling of dizziness, Song Qingming suddenly appeared above a valley full of vitality.

He had just passed through the barrier and his mind was still a little fuzzy. It took him a while to slowly steady his falling body.

"There is nothing abnormal in the surrounding space barrier. I think the situation in this secret realm is relatively stable. I didn't expect the spiritual energy here to be so rich. It has already caught up with the Taiyue Lake Secret Realm he visited."

Song Qingming, who was suspended in mid-air, felt the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth and couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration.

Several "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" that had been placed in the secret realm by Song Qingming in advance, after sensing their master, flew up from the valley below and surrounded Song Qingming.

"Haha! Thank you for your hard work."

Song Qingming happily stroked the "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" that were resting on his hands, and then put them back into the spirit beast bag around his waist.

These "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" have followed Song Qingming for so many years. Although they were of limited help to him in fighting, they helped him a lot in searching for objects.

Over the years, whether Song Qingming was practicing at home or traveling, he never forgot to carefully cultivate these spiritual insects, and now he has become more and more proficient in controlling them.

Song Qingming had just put away the "Golden Fantasy Butterfly" and was about to explore the surroundings to see where he was, but at this moment a cry suddenly came from the sky not far away, interrupting Song Qingming's thoughts.

Turning around, he saw that it was a giant white eagle with a wingspan of two or three meters. Song Qingming frowned slightly.

As expected, this secret realm was just as recorded in Zhao Jibai's notes, with many monsters roaming around, and it was not that safe.

When the giant white eagle flew to several dozen feet in front of Song Qingming, it suddenly spread its wings and fired more than a dozen feathers with golden light directly at Song Qingming.

Seeing these golden feathers coming in front of him, Song Qingming calmly waved his hand and released a ray of protective light, easily blocking them all.

This giant white eagle was a second-level top-grade demon beast that had reached the peak of the foundation-building stage. It was somewhat surprised to see that the thin and inconspicuous Song Qingming in front of it could block its attack so easily.

Just when it was about to continue the attack, Song Qingming in front of it suddenly flashed and quickly came in front of it.

After a gray sword light flew past, the giant white eagle, which had not yet recovered from its shock, had one of its wings cut in half by Song Qingming's sword, and immediately let out a very painful howl.

"Humph! Isn't it a little too late to run now?"

Looking at the giant white eagle in front of him, which was retreating in panic with a look of fear on its face, trying to escape from him, Song Qingming swung the "Mobai Sword" in his hand without hesitation and slashed out an even more fierce sword light, directly killing the regretful monster in mid-air.

After killing this second-level monster, Song Qingming did not care about its corpse. Instead, he took out the "Phantom Boat" and circled around the surrounding area. After confirming his position in the secret realm, he returned to the original place.

Unexpectedly, in just half a quarter of an hour, the corpse of the white eagle had attracted four or five low-level monsters nearby, who were fighting for this "fallen prey" beside its corpse.

It was not until Song Qingming approached that the monsters, sensing the powerful aura, hurriedly abandoned their prey and fled in all directions.

"There are so many monsters nearby. It seems that no one has come here for thousands of years. The number of monsters in this secret realm is no longer the same as before."

Song Qingming's location is in the northeast corner of the entire "Tianyuan Sect" secret realm. According to the notes about the secret realm that Zhao Jibai had, there are very few monsters nearby.

However, Song Qingming had only been here for a quarter of an hour when he saw so many monsters appear. After so many years, the situation in the secret realm had indeed changed compared to before.

After confirming that the situation in this secret realm was very stable and there was no major danger, Song Qingming immediately activated the twin spirit talismans in his hand, informed Huang Siyuan outside of the news, and then turned around and began to deal with the corpse of the monster in front of him.

After Song Qingming took away all the useful monster materials from the white giant eagle, a white light came from the distant sky and landed in front of Song Qingming.

"I happened to run into a few low-level monsters near where I came in, and was delayed for a little while!" Looking at the monster corpses not far away, Huang Siyuan said to Song Qingming with a smile.

Song Qingming nodded slightly and said, "No one has come in here for thousands of years. The number of monsters is much greater than before. I'm afraid there will be a monster king above level three. We have to be more careful in what we do next."

"With the two of us working together, we won't have to be afraid of a late Jindan demon king. My husband, don't worry too much."

Song Qingming's current combat power is no weaker than that of an ordinary seventh-level Jindan cultivator. In the last battle at "Guiyunfang", he was not inferior to the "Giant Elephant Demon King" who was in the late Jindan stage.

It was precisely because Huang Siyuan was clearly aware of Song Qingming's strength that she had the confidence to say this while she was deep in the secret realm.

"Yes! But since this is our first time here, we should be careful." Song Qingming nodded with a smile, and took out the notebook he had received. After taking a closer look, he continued:
"There is a spiritual medicine garden about a hundred miles away from here. According to the records, there are precious spiritual medicines that have been cultivated and planted by Tianyuan Sect for many years. I don't know how many mature spiritual medicines there are that can be picked now. Let's go and take a look first!"

After choosing the place to go, Song Qingming took out the "Phantom Boat" and jumped on it, taking Huang Siyuan with him and turning into a beam of light and leaving the place.

After flying eastward for a quarter of an hour, the two soon arrived outside a valley filled with white mist.

After confirming that the valley in front of them was their destination, Song Qingming controlled the flying boat to land and stopped outside the valley.

"Husband, is the spiritual medicine garden mentioned in the notebook in the valley?" Huang Siyuan couldn't help but ask as she looked at the mysterious valley shrouded in white mist. (End of this chapter)
