Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Following the gaze of the crowd, Song Qingming saw that there were dozens of cultivators guarding the surroundings of the magic circle, carefully warning the approaching crowd.

The lowest level of cultivation among these people was at the late foundation building stage, and there were five or six Jindan cultivators among them. Each of them held a high-level formation flag in their hands, and it seemed that they had formed a magic formation.

Song Qingming only took a glance at the formation that could be formed by so many Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators and he could tell that the power of this formation once it was unleashed could threaten Yuanying cultivators.

"Look, it's a cultivator from the Jade Sword Sect!"

Just when everyone was attracted by the magic circle in the middle of the beach, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, shifting everyone's attention to the air.

I saw a group of sword lights flying from the southwest direction of the island not far away. After a while, they fell from the sky above the magic circle and turned into dozens of monks wearing uniform black Taoist robes.

Regardless of gender, age, or level of cultivation, these people all carried a scabbard behind them, which made them look very eye-catching.

There are six major Nascent Soul Sects in the entire "Tianhai Cultivation World", namely "Qingyang Mountain", "Yujian Sect", "Luomaeng Valley", "Tianxu Sect", "Shenhuo Sect" and "Jinxia Palace".

Among them, "Qingyang Mountain" is the strongest. Not only do they have two Nascent Soul cultivators, but there is also a supreme elder whose cultivation has reached the late Nascent Soul stage.

The "Tianhai Alliance" that is hostile to the Floating Cloud Mountains is a powerful force formed by the "Qingyang Mountain" and the other three Nascent Soul sects.

The "Jade Sword Sect" is also one of the six Nascent Soul sects in the Tianhai Immortal Cultivation World. Although the number of its disciples is the least among the six sects.

However, all the cultivators of the "Jade Sword Sect" practice the way of sword cultivation, and there are also two Nascent Soul cultivators in charge. The sect's strength is second only to "Qingyang Mountain" among the six major sects.

The remaining four sects, "Luomaeng Valley", "Tianxu Sect", "Shenhuo Sect" and "Jinxia Palace", are not much different in strength, and each of them has only one Nascent Soul cultivator.

Because the "Yujian Sect" and another Nascent Soul Sect, the "Tianxu Sect", are both sects that do not like to participate in the struggles in the world of immortal cultivation, they did not choose to join the "Tianhai League" formed by the other four Nascent Soul Sects.

When Song Qingming was fighting on the front line in Lu State, he had never seen any monks from the "Jade Sword Sect". This was the first time he saw disciples from this sword-cultivating sect.

After the monks from the Jade Sword Sect arrived at the scene, a burst of light soon appeared in the sky. The monks from several Nascent Soul sects, including the Tianxu Sect, Qingyang Mountain, the Divine Fire Sect, and the Jinxia Palace, who were preparing to enter the secret realm, also arrived on the beach one after another.

The number of disciples sent by these sects ranged from seventy to eighty, and as few as thirty to forty. They were all led by Jindan cultivators, followed closely by foundation-building cultivators. There were no Yuanying cultivators to be seen.

"Hey! Why haven't people from Luofeng Valley come yet? Don't they plan to send anyone this time?"

Seeing that the cultivators from the other five Nascent Soul sects had already arrived on the beach for quite some time, but the cultivators from the last Nascent Soul sect, "Luomaeng Valley", had yet to show up, many cultivators present expressed their doubts.

Song Qingming was somewhat puzzled when he heard this. His main purpose of coming here this time was not the treasures in the secret realm, but the Jindan elder of "Luomaeng Valley" who had not yet appeared.

If the information provided by Feng He was wrong and this person really did not come, then all his work this time would be in vain.

Just when everyone was confused about this, a flash of light suddenly appeared in the air above the magic circle, and then a middle-aged man wearing a golden crown and a jade belt around his waist appeared out of thin air in the air.

"There is someone up there, it seems to be Patriarch Qiu from Luofeng Valley!"

Hearing a scream not far away, Song Qingming hurriedly looked up and saw two beams of light appearing out of thin air beside the middle-aged man.

After a while, a woman in red standing on lotus leaves and an old man with a long beard and a golden whisk in his hand also came to the air and stood with the middle-aged man.

"Ancestor Yun of Jinxia Palace and Ancestor Jin of Tianxu Sect actually have three Nascent Soul cultivators here. This kind of scene is really rare to see in a hundred years!"

"This is a Nascent Soul cultivator. How enviable."

The many cultivators below saw the three people in the air and quickly recognized their identities. They couldn't help but let out cries of surprise, and their eyes were filled with a bit of awe towards the Nascent Soul cultivators.

The old man holding the whisk saw the middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes in front of him, and immediately smiled and greeted him:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, you wouldn't really come to Luofeng Valley alone, would you? If so, I would like to thank you for your generosity on behalf of my disciples."

"Who said I came here alone?"

Hearing the question from the bearded old man, Qiu Daoping smiled slightly, and then waved at the void behind him.

The air, which was originally empty, suddenly changed color, and then the figure of a giant white python several dozen feet long slowly appeared.

There were dozens of monks in yellow robes standing on the back of the giant white python. They were the disciples of "Luomae Valley" who followed Qiu Daoping this time.

"Haha! I was wondering why I didn't notice anything strange around here, it turns out that fellow Taoist brought the white-scaled python.

I have long heard that your clan's fourth-level puppet beast is good at hiding its body. I didn't quite believe it at first, but after seeing it today, I am really impressed.

Daoist friend, you came late on purpose today, just to play a joke on us!"

The old man with a long beard looked at the giant white python not far in front of him. While he was talking and laughing, a bit of envy appeared in his eyes.

"Alas, Brother Jin, you have misunderstood. I was late today because of something in the sect. It was not intentional. I hope you two brothers will not blame me."

Hearing the two people chatting with each other, the other woman in red became a little impatient and reminded them softly, "Today is an important day to open the secret realm, so we should not keep them waiting for too long.

My two Taoist friends, if you have anything to say, let’s talk about it later!”

"Fellow Daoist Yun's words make sense. Fellow Daoist Qiu should let your youngster go down quickly, so as not to delay the opening of the secret realm."

Qiu Daoping nodded slightly upon hearing this, then waved his hand behind him, and dozens of "Luomagte Valley" disciples jumped off the back of the white giant python and landed on the remaining open space on the ground.

Ever since the white python appeared, Song Qingming's eyes have been fixed on it.

Soon, he found the Jindan elder Qiu Wuxin, whom Feng He was supposed to deal with, among a group of disciples from "Luomagnet Valley", and saw Chen Shutian's figure not far from him.

It was not much different from the information Feng He had provided before. Although Qiu Wuxin's cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Golden Core, it was obviously not as solid as that of the hunchbacked old man whom Song Qingming had met some time ago. It was obvious that he had not made a breakthrough for long and had only advanced to the ninth level of the Golden Core not long ago.

For Song Qingming, who has already grasped the flaws in the opponent's cultivation method, he will most likely not gain any advantage in a fight with such an opponent. However, in a one-on-one fight, Song Qingming is still very confident that he can defeat the opponent.

Qiu Wuxin, who had just landed, suddenly felt that someone was staring at him from behind, so he opened his eyes and scanned the surroundings.

Seeing that the other party seemed to have noticed something, Song Qingming quickly turned his head and looked up into the air, avoiding the other party's sight while Qiu Wuxin hadn't noticed him yet.

"Junior Brother Qiu, what's wrong?"

Seeing Qiu Wuxin searching among the crowd, an elder from the "Luofeng Valley" who was at the seventh level of the Golden Core beside him hurriedly asked.

Qiu Wuxin didn't notice anything unusual, so he could only shake his head and casually replied, "Nothing, it's just that there are so many people here, and I'm a little curious about who they are."

"Haha! These casual cultivators are here just to join in the fun. I guess few of them dare to really enter the inner hall. Why should Junior Brother be so worried?

As long as we keep an eye on the monks from the other major sects and successfully snatch one or two infant-forming spiritual objects, we can complete the task assigned by our uncle-master, which is not a difficult task. "

"Humph! You can't say that. Han Feng from the Jade Sword Sect, Chi Xia from the Golden Cloud Palace, and Xiao Qinghao from the Qingyang Sect are all here this time. They are not so easy to deal with."

After Qiu Wuxin finished speaking, his gaze turned to the position where the disciples of "Qingyang Sect" were standing not far away.

I saw a man in green with thick eyebrows and sword-like eyes, who just turned his head to look in the direction of Qiu Wuxin. However, this man just glanced at Qiu Wuxin and immediately turned his eyes away, as if he didn't care too much about him.

Qiu Wuxin, on the other hand, was staring at Xiao Qinghao, who was known as the number one golden elixir master in the "Tianhai Immortal Cultivation World", with a hint of fear in his eyes.

Seeing Qiu Wuxin staring at him, the elder of Luofeng Valley quickly smiled and said:
“Junior Brother Qiu has now broken through to the ninth level of the Golden Core, and he has the magic weapon bestowed by Master Uncle to protect him. Even among the disciples sent by other sects present, I’m afraid few can compare with Junior Brother now.

With Junior Brother Qiu and Senior Brother Luo leading the team, as long as we don't conflict with the people from Qingyang Sect, this mission will be an easy task.

Hearing the flattering words from his fellow disciples, Qiu Wuxin did not look very happy. He turned around calmly and said to the fellow disciples behind him:

“This time, the ancestor has already told me that after entering the secret realm, I must grab at least one Thunder Infant Fruit. I hope that all of you brothers and sisters can cooperate with me and help me complete the task assigned by the ancestor.

If after entering the secret realm, someone dares to disregard the overall interests of the sect and delays us, and Master blames them, don't blame me for not reminding you now."

After Qiu Wuxin finished speaking, his eyes were like a sharp blade, sweeping across the faces of all the "Luomae Valley" cultivators present. Everyone hurriedly bowed and responded respectfully: "We will definitely do our best!"

However, the several Jindan elders with higher cultivation levels present looked at Qiu Wuxin with meaningful looks in their eyes. It was obvious that they all had different opinions about him, the person who gave orders.

Just like the "Luomae Valley", the cultivators from the other major sects were also staring at each other closely at this moment, paying attention to the opponents they would encounter when they entered the secret realm next.

Just as everyone on the beach was discussing, a Jindan cultivator wearing the clothing of the "Jade Sword Sect" suddenly flew into the air and spoke loudly to the people below:
“My fellow Taoists have come all the way to Fenglei Island, presumably for the ancient secret realm that opens once every hundred years. This is also a rare event in our Tianhai Immortal Cultivation World.

The reason we have gathered here today is to open the secret realm.

However, before you enter the secret realm, I still need to remind you of something in advance.

I would like to ask you to listen carefully to what I am going to say next, so as to avoid accidentally breaking the rules here. It will be too late to regret it then.

After the teleportation array is opened, fellow Taoists can directly enter the secret realm as long as they hand in enough spirit stones.

According to the rules set in the past, foundation-building cultivators only need to hand over two hundred spirit stones, while golden elixir cultivators need to hand over one thousand spirit stones each. No matter who the cultivators present are or where they come from, this rule applies equally to everyone.

If you have any thoughts on this and are unwilling to hand over the spirit stones, you can leave the island now. We will never force you to do so."

Like the "Taiyue Lake" secret realm of Wei State, the ancient secret realm of "Fenglei Island" has been jointly controlled by the "Tianhai Xiuxianjie" and other Yuanying sects. If the cultivators and independent cultivators from small and medium-sized forces want to enter, they must first hand over a sum of spirit stones to them.

There were no less than two hundred Jindan cultivators present, plus about two to three thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators. The transportation fees alone would cost at least hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.

The six Yuanying sects including "Luofeng Valley" have made a fortune just by dividing up the teleportation spirit stones. No wonder they were able to send out three Yuanying monks to the island to take charge.

Most of the monks who came to the island knew in advance that they needed to hand over spirit stones to enter the secret realm. Only a very small number of monks who were less informed showed a little surprise on their faces.

However, for a cultivator who has already established his foundation, two hundred spirit stones are not a lot, and it is certainly not enough to stop people like them from yearning for the spiritual objects in the secret realm.

When the monk from the Jade Sword Sect in mid-air said this, although there was a burst of discussion below, no one chose to really leave.

Seeing that the voices of the people below had become a little quieter, the Jade Sword Sect monk paused and continued:
“In addition, the secret realm will be open for about a month. If any of you want to come out early, you can use the teleportation token we will issue later at any time.

But if you want to go in again after coming out, you have to hand in a new batch of spirit stones.

After all the cultivators enter the secret realm, no matter what opportunities you get, or what happens and causes you to die in the secret realm, we will not interfere with these things. We hope that you all take care of yourselves.

No matter when you come out, you are not allowed to leave the island first. After the secret realm is closed, we will open the special teleportation array on the island and send all of you away from the island.

One thing that must be remembered is that fighting among monks is prohibited on this "Wind and Thunder Island". No matter who has a life or death grudge, they are not allowed to fight with others on the island.

I advise you all not to try to play any tricks here, otherwise, if you anger us, it will not be easy to leave this island."

As soon as the monk from the Jade Sword Sect finished speaking, three Nascent Soul monks in the sky suddenly brought down a powerful pressure, which made the many monks present feel a little chilly and they instantly quieted down.

In front of the powerful Nascent Soul cultivators, their strength was indeed too weak, and no one dared to anger a Nascent Soul ancestor.

Seeing that the shock from the Nascent Soul cultivator had achieved the desired effect, the Jade Sword Sect cultivator cleared his throat again and continued with a smile:

"I have already reminded you of everything that needs to be said, so I will not say any more nonsense. I am here to wish all of you fellow Taoists to achieve success in the future!

After the secret realm is opened, all Taoists will come forward in turn to hand in the spirit stones and receive the teleportation token, and then they can directly enter the secret realm. "

Just as the monk from the Jade Sword Sect finished speaking, a burst of white light suddenly appeared in the middle of the originally quiet magic circle below, and soon a vortex of spiritual energy appeared in front of everyone.

Song Qingming, who had entered many secret realms before, quickly confirmed at a glance that this vortex of spiritual energy should be the entrance to the secret realm.

As soon as the teleportation array was opened, the monks of the Qingyang Sect, led by Xiao Qinghao, were the first to arrive under the teleportation platform.

Under the gaze of many cultivators at the scene, the cultivators of the "Qingyang Sect" handed in their spirit stones one by one and each received a silver token.

Then they walked into the magic circle on the teleportation platform one by one, and soon the dozens of cultivators from the "Qingyang Sect" led by Xiao Qinghao completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

After the disciples of the Qingyang Sect entered the secret realm, the disciples of the other five Nascent Soul Sects, Yujian Sect, Luofeng Valley, Tianxu Sect, Shenhuo Sect and Jinxia Palace, also handed in their spirit stones and entered the teleportation array.

With these disciples from large sects acting as examples, the many independent cultivators standing outside also began to follow the example of the previous cultivators, handing in their spirit stones one by one and entering the teleportation array.

Under the guidance of the monks guarding the teleportation array, the entire scene proceeded smoothly and in an orderly manner. Soon, hundreds of monks entered the secret realm through the teleportation array.

Just as Song Qingming and others were slowly lining up to approach the teleportation array, an old man in a white shirt in front of the team slowly walked onto the teleportation array platform after handing over the spirit stones.

Just as the old man in white shirt was approaching the teleportation array with a happy look on his face, dozens of golden lights suddenly lit up on the surrounding surfaces, trapping the old man directly in a cage formed by the light.

"How is this going!"

Seeing this sudden scene, the monks who were queuing nearby immediately let out a cry of surprise, wondering why the monks guarding the teleportation array would suddenly attack this person.

"Everyone, fellow Taoists, what are you doing? I am just an independent cultivator. I have just handed in the spirit stones. This is my teleportation token!"

The old man in white who was trapped by the light array had only reached the sixth level of foundation building. He looked at a loss at the moment. He took the teleportation token in his hand and began to loudly question the cultivator next to him in front of everyone.

Faced with the questioning of the old man in white and the doubts of many monks around, the monk guarding the teleportation array did not pay much attention to them. He just stared at the trapped old man with caution.

"Humph! If you are just a casual cultivator, how could you possibly trigger this Demon Sealing Golden Light Formation? Do you think that we are so easy to tease?"

After a while, two Jindan monks flew into the air below the teleportation array. One of them shouted angrily at the old man below, then took out his magic weapon and turned it into a sharp sword to slash at him.

"Haha! I thought I had managed to sneak in perfectly this time, but I didn't expect you guys had a back-up plan. I really miscalculated today.

But don’t be too proud too soon. If you think you can keep me here just by breaking the formation, you are underestimating me, Black Wind.”

Seeing that his identity had been discovered by the other party, the old man in white shirt, who had been panic-stricken just now, simply stopped pretending. His face instantly changed and showed a bit of ferocity.

Seeing the sword light coming from afar, the old man in white laughed wildly and suddenly a thick black mist came out of his body. He rushed out directly from the light array, and the sword light was swallowed up by the giant python that was transformed from the black mist.

"I didn't expect it to be you, the Black Wind Demon!"

Seeing how thick the black fog was, the two Jindan cultivators instantly recognized each other's identities, and a look of surprise appeared on their faces.

"Old Demon Black Wind" is a long-time famous demon cultivator in the Tianhai cultivation world. His cultivation had reached the peak of the Golden Core stage two hundred years ago. Over the past few hundred years, more than a dozen Golden Core cultivators have died at his hands.

When the crowd who were watching heard the name "Black Wind Demon", they also cried out in surprise. Some low-level cultivators who were near the teleportation array hurriedly retreated for fear that they would be affected by the war.

Faced with such a powerful demon cultivator, the two cultivators who were only in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm had tried their best to stop him, but in the end they were still quickly rushed out of the platform where the teleportation array was located by the black mist transformed by the opponent.

"Hehe! Since you won't let me in here, I won't keep you company. Come back next time!"

Seeing that he had escaped from the opponent's obstruction so easily, a look of pride appeared on the face of the Black Wind Demon. He controlled the black mist to split into dozens of strands that quickly dispersed in the air.

Watching the black fog in front of them suddenly split and scattered, the several Jindan cultivators who were chasing after him didn't know which one was the true body of the "Black Wind Demon" for a moment, and could only cast spells to chase after him one by one.

"Humph! This is not a place where you can come and go as you please. Since you have the guts to come here, I think you don't have to leave."

Just when the black mist transformed by the "Black Wind Demon" was about to leap into the sea not far away, a rebuke suddenly came from the sky, and then a golden light shone directly on the black mist below, fixing it in mid-air.

Just when he was about to escape into the sea, he was suddenly blocked by the glow of the sunset. The "Old Ghost Black Wind" hurriedly repeated his old trick and urged the black fog to break free from the control of the glow of the sunset.

But this time, before he could break free from control, another sword light fell from the sky and quickly pierced through the black fog he controlled.

"what!"

There was only a shrill scream, and the black mist that was wrapped around the "Black Wind Ghost" quickly disappeared, leaving only a corpse with wide eyes in the air. (End of this chapter)
