89: Chapter 89: Secret Realm Restriction

Xuan Yangzi's fingertips clutched the vibrating communication jade slip. After his spiritual power probed it, his expression grew increasingly solemn. When he looked up at Gu Changge and Shi Wanshan, his tone became more urgent.

"Two Loose Cultivators fought over a thousand-year-old Spiritual Ginseng. Both were Cave Heaven Realm Cultivators. The energy that escaped during their fight accidentally broke the Secret Realm's hidden Restriction, causing the Secret Realm's spiritual light to show itself."

He paused, then added, "The emergence of the Secret Realm will cause a huge stir. I believe that soon, all the forces with even a little power within Xuan Province will know about it."

Upon hearing this, Shi Wanshan immediately couldn't hold back: "What are we waiting for? Arrange for people to go immediately."

"No rush. However, the Secret Realm hasn't officially emerged yet; only a mystical light surrounds its periphery. Based on the fluctuations of the Restriction, the entrance will fully open in about three days."

At this, Xuan Yangzi frowned.

"Could there be a conspiracy? Two Loose Cultivators fighting just happened to break open a Secret Realm? What if this is a trap set by a major Sect, deliberately luring people in, and then ambushing them together?"

He lightly tapped his palm with his finger, his tone steady.

"We now have the Azure Cloud Secret Realm as our foundation, so we don't lack resources. Steady development is the Righteous Path. We must first have our scouts thoroughly investigate the Secret Realm, confirm there are no ambushes, and then see what treasures are inside before making a decision."

Shi Wanshan was choked for a moment but knew that Xuan Yangzi was speaking reasonably, so he could only suppress his eagerness.

Gu Changge did not interrupt throughout. His Divine Sense, like an invisible rainbow, instantly traversed thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, directly landing above the Secret Realm.

He saw that around the Secret Realm, there were many people staring at it, and a continuous stream of people was still arriving from afar.

He did not alert any probing forces. His Divine Sense directly penetrated the mystical light surrounding the Secret Realm and submerged into its core.

What met his eyes were vast expanses of thousand-year-old Spiritual Plants, their leaves still adorned with undried spiritual dew, and the Spiritual Qi was rich.

The Secret Realm spanned over a thousand miles.

Many resources within it were still very useful for the major Sects of Xuan Province.

Deep within the Secret Realm, several King Realm Magical Artifacts existed. Although the runes on their sword scabbards were covered in dust, they still exuded a sharp aura.

Low growls of Yao Beasts could be faintly heard, shaking the surrounding Spiritual Plants, clearly indicating powerful Yao Beasts hidden within.

At the very core of the Secret Realm, the Legacy of a Half-Saint floated in mid-air, its profound Dao Rhyme slowly circulating, enough to allow a Cultivator to ascend to heaven in one step.

Gu Changge's Divine Sense swept through every corner of the Secret Realm, confirming that due to its long-term closure, there were no man-made traps.

However, these things were insignificant to him, but for the Seven Great Sects of Xuan Province, they were top-tier Opportunities.

His Divine Sense quietly retracted, and only then did Gu Changge speak.

"The Secret Realm should be real."

Gu Changge's gaze turned to Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu, who were standing by.

"Xiao Ruobai and Hanyu have been in the Azure Profound Sect since joining. This is a good chance for them to gain experience and broaden their horizons."

Xuan Yangzi immediately nodded upon hearing this.

"Since it's real, I'll select a few more Peak Masters to lead, and choose some excellent Disciples from each Peak to go together, so they can look out for each other."

"No need."

Gu Changge shook his head: "They won't go with you. Only by venturing out on their own can they truly be tempered. You can lead the team to compete for resources; you don't need to worry about them."

Gu Changge's Divine Sense swept across the core of the Secret Realm, and when it touched that invisible Restriction, it paused slightly.

Interesting. Deep within this Secret Realm, there's a Restriction that suppresses one's Realm. Regardless of whether one is a King Realm or Heavenly Human Realm Cultivator, once they step in, their cultivation will be suppressed to the Purple Mansion Realm.

At that time, those high-level figures of various forces who are used to bullying others with their high Realm will suddenly find their cultivation useless. They will probably be furious and exasperated, and the scene will surely be entertaining.

This is a good Opportunity for Xiao Ruobai and Hanyu to test their skills in this fair environment, to see the results of their cultivation during this period, and to let them witness the true quality of the various forces in Xuan Province.

At this moment, a roar of spiritual power erupting suddenly came from the bamboo clearing.

Beside the jade tub where Li Xuanfeng was, a pale purple spiritual light suddenly surged, forming a small vortex of Spiritual Qi.

His aura soared, breaking through the shackles of the Purple Mansion Realm Peak and steadily entering the Cave Heaven Realm!

Shi Jingxian and Lin Mochen were not to be outdone. Golden light and earthy yellow spiritual light respectively emanated from their bodies. Their cultivation steadily remained at the Purple Mansion Realm Late Stage, and the refinement of their Physical Body and spiritual power was several times stronger than before.

Shen Jinghong's sword-shaped spiritual light became increasingly refined, and she had also broken through to the Purple Mansion Realm, gaining a deeper control over her Sword Intent.

The four walked out of the jade tub one after another, their faces filled with the joy of their Breakthrough.

When Xuan Yangzi saw this scene, his pupils suddenly contracted. He then took a few steps forward, circled the four, reached out to probe Li Xuanfeng's aura, and his voice was full of admiration.

"Cave Heaven Realm! It's really the Cave Heaven Realm! How long has it been, and you've made such a huge improvement!"

He looked at Shi Jingxian and Lin Mochen, then at Shen Jinghong, so excited that his whisk trembled.

"Jing Xian and Mo Chen have reached the Purple Mansion Realm Late Stage, and Jing Hong's Sword Intent has also improved—this speed of improvement is simply a miracle!"

Shi Wanshan also came over, patted Li Xuanfeng's shoulder, his tone carrying a hint of envy.

The force was so great that Li Xuanfeng staggered half a step, his knuckles rubbing the old marks on his profound iron sword.

"Good kid! At your age, reaching the Cave Heaven Realm, you could be an Elder in other Sects in Xuan Province, or even a Sect Master! I remember it took me a full five years to break through to the Cave Heaven Realm!"

Li Xuanfeng clenched his fist, feeling the spiritual power in his body, which was several times thicker than before, his eyes filled with excitement.

"I used to hear how powerful Cave Heaven Realm Cultivators were, but now that I've broken through, I realize that the power of this Realm is so strong! Thank you, Martial Uncle Gu, for the spiritual liquid!"

As he spoke, he instinctively threw a punch. The pale purple spiritual power, accompanied by a strong wind, actually left a shallow fist print on the bluestone slab, drawing the attention of Shi Jingxian and the others.

Shen Jinghong, Lin Mochen, and the others also looked at Gu Changge with gratitude.

Xuan Yangzi listened to their words, looking at the vibrant young figures before him, and the upcoming Xuan Province Seven Sect Grand Competition suddenly flashed through his mind.

In previous Grand Competitions, the cultivation of the participating Disciples from various Sects mostly stayed at the Core Formation stage. Occasionally, one or two Purple Mansion Realm Early Stage Cultivators would appear and be lauded as favored sons of heaven, with most years seeing not even a single Purple Mansion Realm Disciple among the Seven Great Sects.

But now, looking at the Azure Profound Sect, Li Xuanfeng is already in the Cave Heaven Realm, Shi Jingxian and Lin Mochen have reached the Purple Mansion Realm Late Stage, Shen Jinghong has also broken through to the Purple Mansion Realm, not to mention Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu.

Once the hundred Disciples selected for the Azure Cloud Secret Realm grow, the number of Purple Mansion Realm Cultivators in the Azure Profound Sect will likely be so numerous that they will be "piling up."

"Oh, right, there's another major event: an ancient Secret Realm in Luoxia Gully, thousands of miles southwest, is about to open. This time, Peak Master Shi will lead the team and select outstanding Disciples from the Sect to go together."

Xuan Yangzi pondered for a moment, then arranged for the group.

"You four have just broken through, so it's a good Opportunity to gain experience in the Secret Realm. You can compete for Opportunities and also hone your combat skills."

"However, there are Yao Beasts in the Secret Realm, and other forces are watching the periphery. You must be cautious when you go, don't just focus on grabbing treasures; safety comes first."

Gu Changge's voice softly sounded.
