While Qing Shui and Yu Mingkong were recovering, people started appearing there one after another.
After about half an incense stick’s worth of ti, the area beca lively once more.
Wang Yufan, who was hidden in the shadows, also saw Xu Changqing and Li ng’er. Compared to the number of people who had just entered this Secret Realm, two-thirds of them had already perished in that cave entrance.
Without exception, everyone who arrived at this place had a red glow flickering in their eyes.
Wang Yufan had made so arrangents on the familiar people to prevent them from being misled by this space.
As for the others, they could only bla their own greed for their demise, unless they possessed great luck, in which case they could turn danger into safety even without the ability to protect themselves.
As expected, when everyone saw the spiritual energy lake and the Longevity Palace within the lake, the red glow in their eyes intensified, and most of them rushed forward, scrambling over each other.
So chose to absorb spiritual energy, while others chose to go directly to the Longevity Palace in the center of the lake to investigate.
As ti passed little by little, those still by the lake witnessed terrifying scenes.
Countless spiritual energy tentacles appeared in the lake, and in a short while, all those who absorbed it turned into white bones, and those who entered the Longevity Palace never returned.
"Isn’t that a spiritual energy lake? What exactly is this place? What is going on with all of this?"
"Did you see it? Those people just now seed to be possessed, rushing into the lake. This place is so strange."
"Yes, but why are we fine? Has the god of luck favored us?"
So were confused, so were terrified.
"If my prediction is correct, this should be the center of the Heaven Burial Secret Realm, and this place is a space that was separately opened up."
Upon hearing what this person said, everyone nodded. This person was Sima Kuangfeng, who had been in the Azure Spirit Sect a few months ago, and his cultivation had already reached the Mahayana Realm.
Just as the group of people were talking, one person shouted
"Look, there are two more people in that corner."
As he spoke, everyone’s gaze turned in that direction.
"Brother Qing Shui, why are you here too?"
Sima Kuangfeng asked in surprise, then imdiately flashed to Qing Shui’s side.
Seeing the person in front of him, Qing Shui stood up and said,
"I didn’t expect to et you in this Heaven Burial Secret Realm. Since two months ago at the Azure Spirit Sect, after I took a liking to my disciple here, I sought a thod to break through to the Mahayana Realm. Finally, I heard that the Heaven Burial Secret Realm had opened, so I ca over. On the way, I was pursued by the White Tiger and Black Dragon from the War God Palace until I reached here."
Upon hearing Qing Shui’s words, Sima Kuangfeng also looked worried. Not only were he and Qing Shui on good terms, but they were also life and death brothers.
"Brother Qing Shui, you an you’re about to undergo your tribulation? Where did the White Tiger and Black Dragon go?" Sima Kuangfeng asked.
Qing Shui raised his arm and pointed towards the spiritual energy lake.
Sima Kuangfeng understood Qing Shui’s aning, and he too felt a chill. What a strange spiritual energy lake. He didn’t know why his group of people hadn’t been affected.
"Brother Qing Shui, before you ca, had anyone else been here?" Sima Kuangfeng asked.
Qing Shui shook his head, indicating no.
Just as the two were talking, a strange sound of echoed through this space.
The sound grew louder and louder.
"What happened?"
"Look at the spiritual energy lake."
Everyone looked towards the spiritual energy lake, only to see that its surface had turned a blood-red color, and those blood-red colors slowly transford into blood-red leaves, so turning into branches.
And the Longevity Palace in the center of the lake slowly disappeared, replaced by a blood-red tree, large enough for a hundred people to embrace, appearing before everyone’s eyes.
"Is this a blood tree? Or a man-eating tree? Where’s the exit? I want to leave here, it’s too terrifying." Soone shouted incessantly.
"It’s probably too late now. When we stepped into this space, we were already cut off from the outside world."
Sima Kuangfeng said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, everyone’s hearts were filled with fear.
This blood-red great tree was the true form of the Bodhi Tree, but at this mont, a mass of black mist within its core gradually began to separate. And it began to absorb the large amount of spiritual energy essence from the spiritual energy lake just now.
"Hehehe." A hoarse and extrely unpleasant sound emanated from the Bodhi Tree.
Sima Kuangfeng quickly shouted.
"Those below the Dao Integration Realm, retreat quickly. Those at and above the Dao Integration Realm, join in eliminating this demon tree."
Following Sima Kuangfeng’s shout, dozens of people above the Dao Integration Realm quickly stepped forward, including Li ng’er under the ghost-face mask, while Xu Changqing, holding the Seven Star Immortal-Slaying Sword, retreated to the back.
Sima Kuangfeng, holding a silver spear, took the lead and charged straight up.
A massive branch of the Bodhi Tree directly slamd down fiercely towards Sima Kuangfeng.
Boom, boom, boom.
The branch of the Bodhi Tree was directly repelled, but it was not broken.
All of this was within Sima Kuangfeng’s expectations; he knew that this kind of demon tree would not be easily injured.
Seeing Sima Kuangfeng go up, the remaining people above the Dao Integration Realm all revealed their weapons and attacked the Bodhi Tree.
Figures crisscrossed in the air, and from ti to ti, people vomited blood, and all the blood that was spat out was absorbed by this space.
The battle lasted for about an hour. Sima Kuangfeng, caught off guard, was swept in the waist by the trunk of the Bodhi Tree and directly sent flying.
The remaining people, except for those in the Mahayana Realm with strength similar to Elder Sima, were also severely thrown back.
Li ng’er, wearing a mask, had several torn areas on her black dress from the recent battle, revealing glimpses of her fair skin.
And the few people below the Dao Integration Realm who hadn’t participated in the battle, upon seeing this scene, had lewd and evil glints in the depths of their eyes. Sensing the ill-intentioned gazes, Li ng’er tried her best to cover herself. Xu Changqing took off his clothes and placed them on Li ng’er.
"I say, all of you, you are all in grave danger now, instead of thinking about how to escape this situation, you’re still casting blind glances here."
Xu Yufan said loudly.
"Hahaha, since we are in danger, our life and death is not sothing we can decide. Didn’t you see that even Elder Sima from the upper domain can’t hold on, let alone us? What can we do?
But if we can enjoy ourselves before we die, that’s not bad either."
These words seed to resonate with so people, who echoed in agreent, their ill-intentioned gazes all fixed on the injured Li ng’er. If Li ng’er hadn’t been injured, they certainly wouldn’t have dared to act this way. But at this mont, there was only a Nascent Soul Realm boy.
And that evil tree was currently entangled with several people from the upper domain, so they were safe for now. They also thought that since they were going to die anyway, why not let themselves have so fun?
"Kid, move aside. My great blade is already thirsty for blood. Don’t make lay hands on you. After you move aside, and after my brothers and I are done, we can let you have so fun too."
A middle-aged man with shifty eyes, a muscular physique, and a large blade strapped to his waist, said to Xu Changqing.
