Chapter 63 Golden Sun Secret Realm
"The Golden Sun Secret Realm?" Nie Shan pondered for a moment, then transmitted his voice:
"This secret realm has existed for a long time, and it is said to have been transformed from an ancient secret realm. Its most famous period was precisely the time when the previous Star Palace Master fell."
I don't know much about this secret realm, except that its greatest value lies in the various spiritual herbs that grow there.
Besides, those treasures and inheritances have long been plundered by our predecessors.
As for the circumstances when the secret realm opens... there are no detailed records in the ancient texts. They only say that the entrance to this secret realm is extremely unstable, and each time it appears in the world, someone needs to set up a large array to assist it, which costs a considerable amount!
Oh, and one more thing: cultivators above the Core Formation stage are completely unable to step into the secret realm.
"In other words, once the necessary support formation is activated, this secret realm will immediately open!"
Luo Qing's eyes suddenly lit up as she grasped the key point.
High in the sky, Wang Heng and his wife had already backed down, no longer insisting on taking down all the evil cultivators, and instead began to bargain with the Crimson Fire Monster.
"Absolutely impossible! That red-robed evil cultivator slaughtered many of my disciples; how could you possibly take him away with just a word!"
Wang Heng abruptly flicked his sleeve, his tone resolute and leaving no room for compromise.
"Fellow Daoist Chi Huo, how about this?"
Zhou Yuan quickly smoothed things over, taking a step back, "We'll give you two more Foundation Establishment evil cultivators, just to keep the woman in red, plus one Foundation Establishment evil cultivator and the three Qi Refining evil cultivators, how about that?"
"Oh?" Old Monster Crimson Fire raised an eyebrow with a half-smile, instantly sensing something amiss in Zhou Yuan's words. "Fairy Zhou seems to be particularly concerned about those three Qi Refining juniors, even specifically pointing them out."
Logically speaking, Luo Qing's three Qi Refining cultivators were merely insignificant additions in this transaction and didn't deserve to be singled out.
"Fellow Daoist Chi Huo is overthinking it."
Zhou Yuan smiled gently and explained in a calm tone, "I'm just a bit stingy. Our Miaoyin Sect is poor and can't afford any losses!"
"Heh, if you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. Anyway, I wasn't planning on sharing it with you."
The Crimson Flame Monster suddenly sneered, indicating that he had no intention of continuing the transaction.
"Red Fire, do you truly intend to fight us here?"
Wang Heng had no intention of fighting to the death, but he could not afford to show weakness at this moment.
"Fire merger? Fellow Daoist Wang, you flatter me."
Upon hearing this, the Crimson Flame Old Monster's expression relaxed, and he laughed loudly, "As long as you have the ability to capture them, these evil cultivators will all be yours to handle."
Wang Heng was taken aback, but as a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation came from the seabed in the distance, he instantly understood!
"You actually opened the Golden Sun Secret Realm at this moment!"
Before he finished speaking, the surrounding space suddenly trembled violently and became extremely unstable.
Without warning, spatial rifts tore open in the air, some no more than an inch long, others several meters long.
The cracks emanated a crimson gold color and emitted billowing heat, as if they connected to a world of lava.
Fortunately, these spatial rifts did not move, so after a flurry of activity as everyone tried to dodge them, no one perished.
"The time has come!"
Spotting a spatial rift about ten feet long that was constantly expanding, Luo Qing flew towards it with all his might.
Regardless of the dangers lurking within the Golden Sun Secret Realm, he must rush in now.
Only in this way can he escape the control of both Core Formation cultivators!
This is a very simple principle.
Although Luo Qing reacted quickly, someone else caught up with her.
"Get out of here!"
With a cold, delicate shout, a blood-red willow blade slashed horizontally from behind!
Luo Qing couldn't help but recall the scene of the female disciple of the Miaoyin Sect being cut in half at the waist. His expression changed drastically, and he almost instinctively dodged to the side.
Liu Yueru was only focused on escaping and had no intention of getting entangled with Luo Qing. She moved like lightning past him and rushed straight toward the spatial rift.
"Jingmei, stop her!"
Zhou Yuan was too far away to intervene, so she could only ask Fan Jingmei, who was closest to her, to intervene and keep the person in place.
Fan Jingmei didn't want Liu Yueru to escape either, so she took out a long purple whip and lashed it at Liu Yueru.
Liu Yueru was focused on escaping and had exhausted too much of her magic power, so she was unable to dodge in time and was tightly wrapped around the waist by the whip!
"Stay here!"
Fan Jingmei was overjoyed and immediately used all her magical power to pull hard.
Liu Yueru's figure suddenly stopped, and she was forcibly pulled away from the spatial rift that had already widened to a foot.
"court death!"
Seeing that two Core Formation auras were rapidly approaching her, Liu Yueru was furious and threw out a dark green pill.
With a "bang," the pill exploded into a cloud of dark green poisonous mist, enveloping Fan Jingmei within it.
"what!"
The poisonous fog seemed to have a life of its own, actively penetrating Fan Jingmei's pores, causing her unbearable pain and screaming in agony.
Liu Yueru had no time to pull the long whip at her waist. She activated the magic weapon with all her might and plunged into the spatial rift like an arrow.
Fan Jingmei, who was in excruciating pain and clung tightly to the long whip, was also forcibly pulled inside.
Meanwhile, Luo Qing, who was forced to give up this way of life, did not fight the spatial rift to the death. Instead, he found a spatial rift that was only half the size and barely managed to squeeze into it.
Seeing this, Yuan Yao, Yan Li, and Nie Shan and the others followed suit, each finding a suitable gap and slipping inside.
In the end, everyone escaped into the Golden Sun Secret Realm!
"Crimson Flame!" Upon seeing this, Wang Heng was instantly enraged, pointing at the Crimson Flame Monster and demanding an explanation in a stern voice:
"If you let these evil cultivators escape, how will you explain yourself to the Star Palace!"
They've been chasing them for so long, but they haven't caught a single one. Instead, they've even lost a disciple. This is outrageous!
"Confess?" The Crimson Flame Old Monster was not afraid at all. After scoffing, he shouted behind him without turning his head, "Come here."
As soon as he finished speaking, twelve Foundation Establishment cultivators dressed in crimson robes stepped out from among the disciples and flew in unison behind the Crimson Fire Old Monster.
Sensing the presence of these people, Wang Heng's expression suddenly darkened.
Of these twelve people, half were at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, while the other half were all at the late-Foundation Establishment stage!
"The Golden Sun Secret Realm is fraught with perilous passes and dangers at every turn."
The Crimson Flame Old Monster stood with his hands behind his back, his tone somewhat mocking, "If one is not a Foundation Establishment cultivator who practices fire-based techniques, there is almost no chance of survival after entering."
Add my disciples to the mix, hmph, even if those people had ten lives, it wouldn't be enough for them to die inside!
Therefore, Fellow Daoist Wang need not trouble himself!
It turns out that the Crimson Fire Monster never intended to share with anyone from the beginning. His bargaining with Wang Heng and his wife was merely a way to buy time and give the great formation a chance to be activated.
