Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Chapter 57: Chapter 58: Guangling Secret Realm

Amidst countless gazes.

They saw.

Amidst the explosion of vast and mysterious light, in front of the gates of Guangling Prefecture, a black whirlpool suddenly appeared, three zhang in diameter.

The whirlpool kept rotating, as if it could swallow even the light of the void.

”The Guangling Secret Realm!”

Seeing this black whirlpool, Ye Qingchen’s pupils suddenly contracted.

This phenomenon was exactly like what Qin Wentian had described.

Behind the whirlpool was where the secret realm lay!

”The secret realm has opened!”

Amidst a chorus of voices.

The crowd, shocked by this heaven-shocking phenomenon, immediately came to their senses.

As they regained their composure, the crowd, without any hesitation, burst out, dashing towards the black whirlpool. Figures streaked like howling wind! Like sprinting leopards! Raging lightning!

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

The sound of figures sweeping through the air was piercing.

They saw.

Those cultivators who came into contact with the whirlpool seemed to be swallowed by the void. After a flash of light, they had already disappeared on the spot.

No one wanted to fall behind even a step.

”Let’s go too!”

Looking at the seemingly unceasing whirlpool, Ye Qingchen turned to glance at the equally expectant Jiang Churan and Hong Man. Taking a deep breath, he also leaped and quickly jumped into the whirlpool.

The stars shifted, and the sun and moon were inverted.

A moment ago, everyone was still in front of the abandoned mansion. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in this vast world, surrounded by endless lush forests.

Even more shocking was the fact that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in this secret realm was several times that of the outside world!

Immersed in it, Ye Qingchen felt as if all 108,000 pores of his body involuntarily opened at that moment. Without even consciously cultivating, the spinning speed of the star nucleus in his body seemed to have accelerated several times.

”So this is the legendary Guangling Secret Realm!”

”I never expected that there would be such a mystical place in the world!”

Jiang Churan, who entered shortly after, couldn’t help but exclaim at the wonders of this world.

”Why don’t we see anyone else?”

Hong Man gripped his battle staff, warily scanning the surroundings.

So many people entered earlier, yet now not a single figure was in sight around them, which was extremely eerie.

”Didn’t Elder Qin mention it already? This secret realm is at least hundreds of thousands of li in circumference, with just over a thousand people, it’s like a handful of sand scattered into the water. Not seeing anyone within dozens of li is naturally normal...”

Ye Qingchen recalled Qin Wentian’s description of the secret realm, feeling deeply astonished.

This was precisely like the legendary Grotto Heaven Blessed Land.

An Immortal’s backyard!

Collecting his amazement, he turned to the two others and said, ”Let’s go. Others have already set off, and we only have one month. We must find the Profound Celestial Flower within this month!”

With no hesitation, the three of them rushed towards the depths of the secret realm.

Whoosh!

At the same time.

Ye Qingchen extended his perception fully, searching for everything in the forest.

However, shortly after setting off, Ye Qingchen made a discovery.

”Whish!”

Jiang Churan’s long sword swept horizontally, bringing with it a shower of frost. The temperature within a radius of tens of meters suddenly dropped.

Where the sword edge passed, it felt like falling into an ice cellar.

”Screech!”

A miserable shriek rang out, and a Snake Demon hidden in the dark ready to ambush the three of them was cleaved in half with one sword strike. The severed body was covered in frost, the blood even coagulated, making for a truly terrifying sight.

Hong Man and Ye Qingchen did not assist but instead searched around carefully.

”Found it!”

A moment later.

Hong Man let out a cheer.

He was seen plucking a Heavenly and Earthly Treasure from a very concealed tree hollow.

”Blood Ginseng!”

Jiang Churan’s eyes glinted with joy.

Blood Ginseng is an extremely rare Spiritual Treasure, primarily used to temper one’s body and strengthen Qi Blood. If this Blood Ginseng were outside, it would be worth at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, yet still have no market!

After finding the Blood Ginseng, the group didn’t linger, continuing further into the secret realm, beginning their search for Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

Along the way, the three also encountered numerous Treasure Guardian Demon Beasts.

These demon beasts generally possessed the power of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, and there were even some comparable to Spiritual Sea Realm cultivators. Of course, the stronger these demon beasts were, the higher the grade of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures the group found.

At the same time.

In the secret realm, Loose Cultivators from the eight Major Sects and various forces also formed teams, dividing into smaller groups, venturing into the depths of the secret realm, searching for Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

Of course.

Opportunities naturally came with risks.

Some met their end at the hands of Treasure Guardian Demon Beasts, while others were killed by other forces in treasure-snatching ambushes.

The whole secret realm.

Plunged into chaos.

Almost every area was erupting in battles.

...

It was the sixth day since the secret realm opened.

In their quest for the Profound Celestial Flower, Ye Qingchen and his two companions had already delved into the core area of the secret realm.

Through relentless battles, the three had lost count of how many demon beasts they had slain and how many Heavenly and Earthly Treasures they obtained, all while pushing deeper into the secret realm.

Not long ago.

They had just slain a ’Frenzied Giant Lizard’ of the Spiritual Sea Realm and were resting on a large rock.

”I didn’t expect that we’d have such great harvests just six days into the secret realm!” Hong Man, organizing a huge bundle, beamed with accomplishment. ”These Heavenly and Earthly Treasures are enough for us to use for half a year!”

At this moment, Jiang Churan was also all smiles: ”Indeed, no wonder people from all power factions flock every time the Guangling Secret Realm opens! If we can refine these Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, our strength will surely have a qualitative leap!”

Beside them, Ye Qingchen was rather silent.

Despite their abundant gains, he still hadn’t found the Profound Celestial Flower!

In fact.

He didn’t even know where the Profound Celestial Flower was located.

”Profound Celestial Flower, where on earth are you...” Ye Qingchen sighed silently.

Hum—

At that moment.

A resounding eagle’s cry suddenly came from the northern forest.

The piercing cry swept in all directions, like steel needles piercing into the eardrums, causing Qi Blood to churn and the chest to feel clogged. The sound wave roared, rustling the surrounding trees.

”What sort of demon beast is this, to have such power?”

The three exclaimed, hastily turning towards the sound.

They saw.

In the sky up ahead, a golden giant eagle hovered in the void space, its wings spread about dozens of meters wide, enough to blot out the sun. It radiated a terrifying Evil Qi, like the king of all birds.

That intimidating aura was clearly felt even from afar.

”Such a powerful aura!”

Ye Qingchen’s heart skipped a beat.

This giant eagle was much stronger than any demon beast they had encountered before. And the Heavenly and Earthly Treasure it guarded was definitely extraordinary, perhaps even the Profound Celestial Flower!
