Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Countless disciples placed bets, and the long-awaited duel between Feng Feiyu and Qin Meng finally arrived. Both were prodigies of their generation, neither willing to yield to the other, long eager for a battle.

The strengths of Feng Feiyu and Qin Meng were actually evenly matched. When the two fought, it was hard to determine a winner. From the first light of dawn until the sun set in the evening, they remained tied.

Finally, both were utterly exhausted and collapsed together in the arena. The referee looked left and right, completely unsure how to judge the winner, and had to look to Nie Jinglin in the stands for help.

Nie Jinglin thought for a moment and suggested they have a tiebreaker match, which also ended in a draw, both collapsing from fatigue.

With no other option, they had another tiebreaker. After two consecutive tiebreakers without a winner, Nie Jinglin could only declare both Feng Feiyu and Qin Meng as joint first place winners.

This caused all those who had set up gambling bets to lose their stakes, and the house raked in everything. Fortunately, the bets weren’t too large, otherwise, the losses would have been severe, while a few bookies made a fortune and were pressured into treating others.

The selected disciples set off for the Secret Realm the next day, led by Nie Shuangshuang, aboard the Sect’s tower ship-like flying magical treasure.

The location of this Secret Realm was near The Unreturning Peaks, a Forbidden Land of the Cultivation World. The Unreturning Peaks were so named because no matter how high one’s cultivation was, once they entered, they would never return, remaining until death, thus earning its name.

The entrance to this Secret Realm was at the edge of The Unreturning Peaks, by the small stream of a valley. When Nie Shuangshuang and the others arrived, the people from the Beast Taming Sect, Feihua Valley, and the Hundred Ghosts Alliance had yet to arrive.

Nie Shuangshuang decided to wait with her disciples, but the other Three Great Immortal Sects soon arrived.

The Hundred Ghosts Alliance arrived first, rolling in like a mass of black clouds on the horizon, with a group of semi-transparent figures atop the clouds, the disciples of the Hundred Ghosts Alliance.

The elder leading the Hundred Ghosts Alliance was someone Nie Shuangshuang knew, Beichen Ran and Gong Ziyun, the couple who had previously searched for someone together with her in the Nantian Ghost Kingdom.

Seeing Nie Shuangshuang, both were delighted. After exchanging greetings with Nie Shuangshuang, they chatted briefly.

Before they could engage in deeper conversation, the people from Feihua Valley and the Beast Taming Sect arrived. The Feihua Valley folks came riding a giant sword, while those from the Beast Taming Sect arrived on a large-winged python.

Once everyone had landed, the elders of the Four Great Immortal Sects exchanged pleasantries, then proceeded to prepare for opening the entrance to the Secret Realm.

This process would take three to four days, just enough time for the disciples of the Four Great Immortal Sects to interact with each other and make new friends.

Upon entering the Secret Realm, there was a strict prohibition against disciples killing each other. Additionally, to foster relationships among the disciples of the Four Great Immortal Sects, each group entering had to consist of one disciple from each sect, four people in total.

This time, each sect had sent only a hundred disciples, each a carefully chosen prodigy, resulting in some mutual dislike and some mutual admiration.

No matter their relationships, by the time the Secret Realm opened, the disciples of the Four Great Immortal Sects were at least familiar with each others’ faces, many having pre-formed teams with those they got along with, finding it more reassuring than teaming with unfamiliar people.

There were still many who had not formed teams, necessitating temporary pairings. Nie Shuangshuang simply had some grassroots brought over, letting them draw lots based on length to form teams, avoiding the dissatisfaction of manually created teams.

Each of the Four Great Immortal Sects possessed a Jade, a key to the Secret Realm. When the four pieces were thrown together, they could open the entrance to the Secret Realm, and Spiritual Power was required to stabilize the entrance, which was the most time-consuming part of the process.

After the disciples of the Four Great Immortal Sects formed teams, they entered the Secret Realm one by one. Nie Shuangshuang and the others waited outside. This time, the Secret Realm would remain open for two months.

Those waiting outside had nothing to do, resorting to chatting or practicing cultivation to kill time until the disciples returned from the Secret Realm.

A month passed quickly. The disciples hadn’t emerged from the Secret Realm, but there was a disturbance at The Unreturning Peaks, with roars emanating from within and golden light flashing from the peaks.

This unusual event set everyone’s hearts on edge. The Unreturning Peaks, a Forbidden Land, harbored a great secret known to the top Great Cultivators of the Cultivation World.

The true Forbidden Land of The Unreturning Peaks was the Ancient Battlefield beneath it, and The Unreturning Peaks themselves served as a seal over the battlefield.

In ancient times, there was a great calamity, with the Demon Clan invading the Human World, drawing countless cultivators to battle. The largest battlefield was where The Unreturning Peaks now stand.

That battle was unimaginably fierce. Though the Demon Clan was exterminated, the human side suffered devastating losses. Almost all Great Cultivators of that era perished, severing countless inheritances and causing many Immortal Sects to vanish.

While the battle with the Demon Clan concluded, the aftermath was dire. The battlefield, steeped in Demonic Qi and the spilled blood of countless cultivators, birthed numerous Blood Demon creatures composed of blood due to the Demonic Qi’s influence.

Blood Demons could possess human cultivators, silently replacing them and infiltrating human sects, sowing chaos.

Just as the Human World, already gravely weakened, faced potential annihilation, the Holy Beast Six-winged Golden Roar could see through those possessed by Blood Demons, preventing the complete downfall of the Cultivation World.

Though Blood Demons were expelled from the Cultivation World, the Demonic Qi on the battlefield could not be eradicated, and the blood of countless cultivators continued to seep deep underground, spawning Blood Demons endlessly.

Finally, to prevent the havoc of the Blood Demons, the remaining Great Cultivators of the Cultivation World combined their powers to seal the battlefield, and this seal is The Unreturning Peaks.

Subsequently, the entire clan of the Holy Beast Six-winged Golden Roar moved into The Unreturning Peaks to guard the Ancient Battlefield.

After these Great Cultivators sealed The Unreturning Peaks, they all perished. To prevent disturbances to the ancient battlefield’s seal, The Unreturning Peaks was declared a Forbidden Land in the Cultivation World. Low and mid-level cultivators were forbidden from entering, and the sealing matter was not disclosed to them.

Only cultivators who reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage were informed, after which all sects or Loose Cultivators reaching this stage had to take turns guarding The Unreturning Peaks.

The rumors about people of any cultivation level being unable to return from The Unreturning Peaks were mostly false, but partly true.

This was because there were countless mazes within The Unreturning Peaks, making it easy to get lost. Without timely rescue from those guarding The Unreturning Peaks, intruders would perish within.

Nie Shuangshuang knew about The Unreturning Peaks since her master was the Lingtian True Monarch, granting her knowledge before her cultivation reached the appropriate level.

Because of Nie Shuangshuang’s exceptional talent, destined to guard The Unreturning Peaks, she was informed in advance without concern.
