LIGHTNOVELSTORY Chapter 28
Seeing this scene, the cultivators outside were so scared their livers almost split, their fear magnifying infinitely.
So terrifying!!
“Master Ye is mighty, Master Ye is invincible!” The disciples of the Xuantian Sect were ecstatic, cheering and jumping with joy.
Xu Yonian was so excited he couldn’t contain himself, repeating, “Good! Well done!”
The Cangjian Peak Master muttered, “My goodness, am I dreaming?”
Smack!
As soon as he finished, his face got slapped.
Cangjian Peak Master covered his face, bewildered, “Junior sister, why did you hit me?”
“Does it hurt?”
The Tianxiang Peak Master asked with concern.
“Of course it hurts!”
“Then it’s not a dream.”
Cangjian Peak Master: “……”
At that moment, all the cultivators from the Arid Province erupted in cheers, bursting with pride, their gazes resembling that of worshiping a deity.
Ouyang Feng, the ancestor of the Banshan Sect, was teary-eyed, bowing down on the ground, exclaiming, “Master Ye Tianjun’s divine might!!”
The roar of the crowd was like a tidal wave, strong enough to shatter the sun above.
“This… how is this possible…” Xue Tianyi felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, mumbling to himself.
He almost doubted he had come to the wrong place.
Is this really the Arid Province?
The strongest immortal sect in the Eastern Domain was fleeing in panic.
The so-called holy land of Buddhism, the Hanging Temple, had all been buried in an unknown coffin.
It seemed they had encountered a fierce deity!!
Just then.
A rumbling sound echoed across the sky of the Arid Province.
Brilliant light burst forth, piercing through the vast clouds, the sight was extremely spectacular and awe-inspiring.
“The Secret Realm has opened!!”
Gasps of surprise rose and fell.
The Luotian Secret Realm officially opened, hiding immense opportunities within.
Cultivators from various factions were restless, their hearts racing, but when they recalled something, none dared to step forward.
Countless eyes were fixed, seemingly waiting for Ye Junlin’s declaration.
“Alright, just go inside and check in.”
Ye Junlin mused to himself.
Sensing the subtle atmosphere around him, a thought flickered in his mind, and with an unquestionable tone, he declared,
“All cultivators from the Arid Province are qualified to enter and explore.”
“As for unrelated personnel, roll out!”
A stone stirred up a thousand waves.
The Arid Province cultivators were ecstatic, chanting Master Ye’s brilliance!
They had waited so long, and finally, a peerless powerhouse had emerged to lead the Arid Province cultivators out of crisis.
“This…”
The outside cultivators showed displeasure, but after what had just happened, who dared to stand up and resist?
Xue Tianyi’s face turned dark, his anger rising.
“Young Master, let’s go.” The leading guard sighed.
“Can’t we do anything about him?” Xue Tianyi was very unwilling.
The guard leader replied, “Young Master, this person is audacious and has offended both the Yuhua Sect and the Hanging Temple, essentially committing great sins; what awaits him will be unprecedented revenge.”
“Right now, he’s riding high; it’s only a matter of time before he faces calamity. We don’t need to contend with someone who is virtually dead!”
Upon hearing this,
Xue Tianyi’s eyes sparkled with brilliance, sneering, “You’re right; to annihilate him, we first have to make him crazy! This guy is so tyrannical; he won’t live long!”
“Withdraw! Back to Lingzhou!”
“Yes, Young Master!”
Following that, the Xue family’s group turned around and left.
Seeing even the mightiest Xue family back down at this moment, the other cultivation forces from the various provinces had no choice but to back off, gradually heading back to their homes.
They needed to spread this news to their hometowns.
One can only imagine how sensational it would be in the Eastern Domain!
Soon, only the cultivators from the Arid Province remained.
Watching these once arrogant outsiders now skedaddle back home, everyone felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction!
Of course.
They didn’t rush in but rather smartly lined up behind the Xuantian Sect, thinking they’d just have to catch a bit of soup at the back.
“Let’s go.”
Ye Junlin led all the cultivators, marching into the Luotian Secret Realm.
As a flash of light appeared before his eyes, the scenery instantly transformed.
Inside was a whole new world, reminiscent of a primordial forest from prehistoric times.
Towering trees rose over a thousand meters high, with lush branches and vines hanging down, thick enough for a hundred people to embrace.
Most importantly, the spiritual energy was extraordinarily dense, much stronger than in the Arid Province!
“This environment is great.”
Ye Junlin sighed in admiration.
【Ding, check-in location detected: Luotian Secret Realm. Do you wish to claim your check-in reward?】
A playful notification sounded in his mind.
“Claim.”
【Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully checking in and receiving the Celestial Emperor’s Apparition!】
【Celestial Emperor’s Apparition】: The user can directly summon the apparition, significantly boosting their strength, and can also unleash a certain accompanying divine ability.
“Hmm? This thing is pretty good!”
Ye Junlin nodded.
Having seen Master Jingchan’s Buddha’s apparition, he knew it could greatly enhance one’s power; if he hadn’t used the Burial Heaven Coffin, he might have faced a fierce battle.
At this moment, after completing the check-in task, Ye Junlin was still considering heading back home.
But the various sights inside the Luotian Secret Realm sparked his curiosity to continue exploring.
“Alright then, let’s see what’s going on.”
Ye Junlin set off, soaring through the ancient forest.
Swish!
A wild, massive Nascent Soul Stage man-eating flower, about the size of a thatched cottage, opened its enormous bloody mouth, preparing to attack.
“Got a problem?”
Ye Junlin released his cultivation aura, scaring the man-eating flower into quickly shutting its mouth and cowering in the corner.
Behind him, Xu Yonian was looking around excitedly, “Heavenly Spirit Grass, Purple Crystal Vine, Golden Ginseng, and the Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Mushroom…”
“Good stuff, all good stuff! Quick, take them all!”
“Yes, Sect Master!”
The Xuantian Sect cultivators were thrilled, dispersing to gather various rare spiritual herbs around.
Boom!
Suddenly, a huge Golden Core Stage worm burrowed out of the ground, spewing saliva everywhere, devoured dozens of rogue cultivators, then vanished back into the earth.
This caused quite a commotion among the Arid Province cultivators.
Many were left in shock, a glimmer of disappointment in their eyes.
They originally thought they could follow the Xuantian Sect’s lead; even if they didn’t get a meat share, they could at least sip some soup, but reality was very harsh!
They didn’t even have the qualifications to drink soup!
“If you don’t have the strength and still try to rush up, that’s your fate.” Hong Qianye showed no sympathy for the dying cultivators, her expression cold.
“Roar roar roar!!”
At that moment, the forest echoed with the frantic calls of monkeys, a large group of white monkeys swinging on vines, marching in formation.
The overwhelming demonic aura spread like a tide, sending chills down the spines of many cultivators.
“Be careful! Enemy attack!”
Someone screamed.
These white monkeys, their eyes red and skin tough as nails, withstood the cultivators’ magical treasure attacks and reached out with their massive hands, tearing individuals apart.
Blood stained the ground, and the pungent smell of blood filled the air.
As expected of the beasts in the secret realm, they started at the Golden Core level, with even stronger ones reaching the Nascent Soul level.
“Ah! Run!!”
“They’re coming! Over here!”
“Help! Quick save me!”
Panicked cries rang out everywhere.
Worse still.
This group of white monkeys had a particular fondness for young female cultivators; as soon as they caught one, they would tear their clothes apart and howl like they were in heat.
“Wah, someone help me!”
A female disciple from the Xuantian Sect was unfortunate enough to be grabbed by a white monkey, who proceeded to tear at her clothes, exposing her fair skin.
“Let her go! You beast!” A male disciple bellowed, unleashing his flying sword to stab at the white monkey. The sword struck its skin with a clanging sound but dealt no damage whatsoever.
“No, don’t do this…” The female disciple’s face was filled with despair as she felt the hot breath behind her.
Boom!
Suddenly, the white monkey was lifted into the air, swiftly burned to ashes by raging flames.
In walked Hong Qianye, dressed in red, with a stern face, saying, “Are you alright?”
She thought to herself that women were just trouble!
The female disciple sobbed, “Thank you, thank you, Senior Sister Hong.”
Hong Qianye: “……”
“Roar roar roar!!”
The leading white monkey king jumped over, pointing at Hong Qianye, emitting excited screeches.
The meaning was simple; it had taken a liking to this woman.
Instantly, the white monkeys all pounced toward Hong Qianye, eager to gain merit!
“You all want to die!”
Hong Qianye’s hair flew wildly, her red attire as striking as blood, her gaze exuding murderous intent, radiating the dominance of a demonic lord.
Boom!
Unending flames surged, exterminating all the rushing white monkeys.
The white monkey king was so scared it urinated itself and turned to flee.
In the next second, flames sparked on its back, engulfing it in raging fire.
Amid its shrill screams, this Transformation Stage white monkey king was reduced to ashes.
“Senior Sister Hong is mighty!”
“Senior Sister Hong is amazing; she inherited Master Ye’s mantle!”
“Red Fairy is beautiful and kind-hearted!”
One by one, cultivators rushed over to sing her praises.
The more Hong Qianye heard, the darker her expression got, glaring coldly, “Shut up, all of you!!”
“Uh, what?” The crowd was dumbfounded, unsure where they had offended her.
Hong Qianye gradually calmed her emotions, subconsciously looking around, her face showing a hint of confusion, “Hmm? Where did that guy go?”
At this moment.
Ye Junlin was on his way deeper into the forest.
“System, you mentioned the special energy fluctuation; are you sure it’s in this direction?”
【Ding, yes, host, it’s in this direction!】
Ye Junlin’s eyes flickered.
Just now, the system claimed there was a place filled with special energy fluctuations, which had piqued his interest to explore further.
