A total of two thousand people entered the secret realm this ti. Honestly, that’s quite a number.
Su Yuanyuan is currently listening to the thoughts of the leaders of the other nine teams.
The leading figures of the Five Great Sects are also Nascent Soul cultivators, appearing to be around thirty years old.
The leader from the Independent Practitioner Alliance is a beautiful female cultivator, also a Nascent Soul cultivator. This woman is quite formidable, ranking first among these Nascent Souls. It seems the Independent Practitioner Alliance takes this secret realm very seriously.
The remaining three families co from different places, and their leaders are quite arrogant, which implies their juniors won’t be easy to get along with either.
Their family also attracted attention because they have three low-level cultivators, and two of them are female cultivators.
Out of these over two thousand people, there are fewer than fifty female cultivators, a rather significant disproportion.
Tan Shaoting frowned in disgust, hating when others pay attention to his wife and daughter.
Ten Nascent Souls were discussing on the side. Everything was allocated, without disputes; now they just needed to open the secret realm together.
Su Yuanyuan ignored them, took out the puduan, and her family sat down.
When they sat, so others followed suit.
The mother and her three children spoke softly, all listening to Su Yuanyuan’s advice to them.
Though she still only half-understands the Cultivation World, her social experience is rich, which should be similar.
"Mom, after we go down, let’s use the Immortal Binding Rope so we won’t have to separate," Qi Wen suggested.
Qi Yan thought it might be better to separate but was also worried about his mother worrying about them, so he said nothing.
Soon, the upper echelons reached an agreent, calculating that the secret realm would open when the moon rose high, so they waited here.
Before long, soone went to the dicine Sect’s team, seeking to buy elixirs from them.
It soon beca lively as many exchanges took place, since aside from the dicine Sect, there was the Artifact Sect too.
Their family didn’t move, remaining seated, discussing the possibility of using the Immortal Binding Rope later.
"If we can’t use it, once we’ve split up, be sure to send ssages."
This was a Sound Transmission Talisman drawn by Su Yuanyuan. Everyone got a stack and practiced with them, leaving each other’s talismans with each other.
Tan Shaoting actually thought if there were no danger, it would be good for the children to practice alone. But then again, how could there be no danger in the secret realm? The greatest danger still cos from human cultivators.
They waited until dark, quietness settled, and everyone began to ditate and cultivate.
The mother and her three children didn’t truly cultivate. With high energy around, they feared their cultivation would reveal their differences to others.
The ti arrived, and Su Yuanyuan watched as the high energy collectively cast spells. Soon, a whirlpool appeared on the sea surface, growing larger, revealing a vacuum center.
They continued to cast spells without stopping.
At this ti, each team leader sent Sound Transmission Talismans to their team mbers. These weren’t made of talisman paper but jade, looking upscale.
Everyone knew well that half of their harvest would go to the leaders, which is why they scrambled to co.
Their family reached an agreent; if they got separated and found sothing valuable, they should set it aside individually. Eventually, the family would et again, and everything would be handed to Su Yuanyuan.
"Fellow Daoists, if we split up after going down, please get in touch quickly, as there’s strength in numbers."
Of course, no one disagreed, as the people brought by Nangong Xingyun were selected with deep thought.
The passage on the sea surface had stabilized. Naturally, the Nangong Family was the first to descend.
Their group took the lead, which has advantages and dangers, of course.
Nangong Xingyun walked right before Tan Shaoting. They could directly walk down here, which made Su Yuanyuan feel a sense of reverence for high-level cultivators.
The Immortal Binding Rope was used, but even after reaching the seafloor, it hadn’t shown its effects yet.
Within an hour, all the cultivators had descended, and the ten Nascent Souls cast spells once more. Su Yuanyuan thought this must be the entrance to the secret realm, right?
Everyone held their breath and focused on watching the high-energy actions. The truth is, there’s a significant gap between high-energy and others.
In the past, it was said that Nascent Soul cultivators had the power to move mountains and oceans, but now it was right before their eyes.
This ti it took a little longer, but no one made any moves.
Su Yuanyuan found it fascinating to see the various marine creatures outside the barrier they set up, like a tunnel under the sea.
After about two hours, the surrounding sea water’s movents beca very intense, akin to boiling.
Initially, Su Yuanyuan felt a bit scared but recalled this was a defense set by a Great Power. Still, she quietly set up her own defense, and one look at Qi Wen, and her daughter understood, so the whole family did the sa.
After another fifteen minutes, golden light suddenly burst from the seabed, and although they were cultivators, they still instinctively closed their eyes.
When they opened their eyes again, they saw an entrance appearing at the seabed, with a large amount of spiritual energy seeping out.
Everyone was excited now, with such abundant spiritual energy inside, countless treasures must await.
Several continued casting spells, stopping only after reinforcing the entrance, which must have consud significant resources, right?
"It’s done."
These two words were the command. The leaders directed their team mbers.
Being the first to descend, they were also the first to enter, with dangers present, yet the opportunities were greatest too.
Descending in the sa formation, Su Yuanyuan felt like a paper sheet, spinning non-stop, overwheld, unable to care about anything else.
After landing and stumbling a bit, there wasn’t anyone around, and the Immortal Binding Rope was gone. What was going on? Could Tan Shaoting be in danger?
Pulled out a Sound Transmission Talisman and said a few words; after releasing it, it circled around her.
This must be one of the situations Tan Shaoting ntioned. Quickly calming down, Su Yuanyuan retrieved the Sound Transmission Talisman.
She could only slowly search from here.
The spiritual energy here was denser than outside, understandable with the place sealed for unknown ages, spiritual energy barely consud, naturally denser than outside.
In the distance, she vaguely saw a lake. Su Yuanyuan recalled Tan Shaoting’s advice: it’s best not to use Sword Flight in the secret realm, as it’s dangerous.
Light Body Skill was not problematic, and the plants on either side hadn’t posed any danger yet, just precautions.
The lake seed close, but actually running there fully embodied the saying "mountains are far if crossed by foot."
It took a full hour to reach the lake’s shore. There was no danger along the way. Su Yuanyuan knew Tan Shaoting wasn’t exaggerating dangers needlessly.
