355: Chapter 355 Slaying the Guardian Beast of the Secret Realm

One hour later.

Chen Hu arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

The teleportation Formation in the City Lord's Mansion was built quite secretly; it was an escape route City Lord Shen Chonglou had prepared for himself.

After all, this world of Cultivation was not one hundred percent safe.

The two stepped into the teleportation Formation, and after activating it, they were teleported three thousand miles away.

The next moment, City Lord Shen Chonglou tossed out a flying boat and extended an invitation: "Brother Chen, hurry up and get on!"

"Put it away!"

Chen Hu said, "Riding a flying boat is too slow; just point out the direction!"

"Alright!"

City Lord Shen Chonglou decisively put away the flying boat and pointed in a certain direction: "This direction!"

Chen Hu grabbed City Lord Shen Chonglou's arm, transformed into a streak of Star Escape Technique light, and vanished from the spot.

The Star Escape Technique Chen Hu unleashed was extremely fast, capable of covering a hundred miles in a second.

A distance of ten thousand miles took no more than 100 seconds.

And the Secret Realm that City Lord Shen Chonglou discovered was over thirty thousand miles away.

Therefore, they arrived without spending much time.

City Lord Shen Chonglou pointed at the lake in front and said: "The Secret Realm is at the bottom of the water, over six thousand meters deep!"

The two did not waste words.

They immediately went into the water and easily dove to a depth of over six thousand meters.

Then, City Lord Shen Chonglou pointed to an old stone stele and said: "As long as you touch the stele, you can enter the entrance of the Secret Realm!"

The next moment, City Lord Shen Chonglou touched the stele first. A force of space wrapped around him, and he vanished from the spot.

Chen Hu followed suit and touched the stele, teleporting inside as well.

With a flash of darkness and then light, Chen Hu discovered he had arrived in a vast, empty hall, with City Lord Shen Chonglou standing beside him.

At the end of the hall, there was a giant bronze door.

However, on both sides of the door stood ten bronze pillars, each connected to a special iron chain, and each chain was looped around a giant Yao Beast.

These four Yao Beasts were a hundred-meter-long giant python, a three-headed dog, a two-headed lion, and a giant golden cicada.

City Lord Shen Chonglou introduced: "As long as we don't approach, these four Yao Beasts won't attack us. The strength of these four Yao Beasts is very high; if it were a one-on-one fight, I could barely defeat one!"

Subsequently, City Lord Shen Chonglou introduced the situation of these four Yao Beasts.

It was obvious that this was not the first time City Lord Shen Chonglou had come here.

But every time he wanted to enter the Secret Realm, he was blocked by these four Yao Beasts.

"Leave it to me!"

Chen Hu raised his hand and pointed; his Low Grade Dao Sword transformed into a beam of sword light and shot out.

With a "pfft" sound.

The giant python's head was severed.

Although he had seen Chen Hu slay two Dao Integration Realm experts with his own eyes, seeing Chen Hu act again still left him inexplicably shocked.

That giant python, just like him, was at the Spirit Severing Stage Level 9.

But in front of Chen Hu, it couldn't even block a single sword strike.

Next, Chen Hu continued to control the Low Grade Dao Sword and easily slew the other three Soul Transformation Yao Beasts.

"Collect them all; we'll distribute them when we return!" Chen Hu said.

"Alright!" City Lord Shen Chonglou didn't mind Chen Hu's commanding tone at all. These Yao Beasts were good things; their flesh and blood were excellent resources for Cultivate.

Their tendons, bones, and skin were excellent Materials for Artifact Refining.

Selling one Soul Transformation Yao Beast would be worth at least several hundred million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

These four Yao Beasts had all reached the Spirit Severing Stage Level 9; selling them all would be worth at least several billion.

Of course, it would be too much of a loss to sell such good things.

It was better to use them as resources for Cultivate.

After collecting the corpses of the four Yao Beasts, the two arrived in front of the bronze door.

Chen Hu did not immediately study how to open the bronze door, but instead cast his gaze upon the four bronze pillars in front of the door.

In his past life, he had seen many tropes in Xianxia and Xuanhuan.

Some masters who built Secret Realms liked to use anti-tropes.

Placing the best things at the entrance of the Secret Realm.

And when City Lord Shen Chonglou noticed Chen Hu observing the four bronze pillars, he also realized something.

"Brother Chen, do you think there is a mystery to these four bronze pillars and iron chains?"

Chen Hu said: "Whether there is a mystery, I am not sure, but being able to restrain four Soul Transformation Yao Beasts is enough to prove their extraordinariness!"

"Let me try!"

City Lord Shen Chonglou walked to a bronze pillar and mobilized his magic power, wanting to pull the bronze pillar out of the ground.

After a bout of flushing red with exertion, he had to give up.

Because he discovered that he could not shake the bronze pillar in the slightest.

"Eye of Insight, activate!"

The next moment, a faint golden light flashed in Chen Hu's eyes.

Following that, information about the bronze pillars and the iron chains connected to them appeared in Chen Hu's mind.

These bronze pillars were a type of exotic treasure called Shaking Pillars.

They were connected to the entire Secret Realm; as long as the Secret Realm remained unbroken, they could not be pulled out.

And the iron chains connected to the Shaking Pillars were called Soul-Locking Chains, which were also exotic treasures.

But they only had one function: to lock the Divine Soul of a Yao Beast. As long as the Yao Beast chose to struggle, the Soul-Locking Chains would continuously tighten until the Yao Beast's Divine Soul was crushed.

This was also the reason why the four Yao Beasts dared not struggle.

"How is it, Brother Chen, is there a way to take them?" City Lord Shen Chonglou asked.

Chen Hu said: "The four bronze pillars are for stabilizing the Secret Realm. If pulled out, the Secret Realm would collapse. However, the iron chains can be taken!"

The next moment.

Chen Hu controlled the Low Grade Dao Sword and slashed out.

"Ding ding ding ding!"

The four connection points were severed by him, and the four iron chains fell from the bronze pillars.

City Lord Shen Chonglou immediately scurried forward to pick up the four Soul-Locking Chains and asked: "Brother Chen, should I put them away, or will you collect them yourself?"

"You keep them!"

Chen Hu said dismissively.

"Thank you for your trust, Brother Chen!" City Lord Shen Chonglou was somewhat moved. If it were anyone else, they would likely have fought to the death over the treasure in this situation.

At this moment.

Chen Hu arrived in front of the bronze door and reached out to push it tentatively.

"Boom!"

The two doors were pushed open just like that.

And behind the door was a Secret Realm world with quite abundant Spiritual Qi.

City Lord Shen Chonglou forcefully suppressed his inner excitement and said: "Brother Chen, let me go in first to test it, so we don't end up being able to enter but not exit!"

"Go ahead!"

Chen Hu nodded. It was indeed necessary to guard against that, although even if trapped, he had a way to escape.

But that would be troublesome, after all.

The next moment, City Lord Shen Chonglou cautiously rushed into the bronze door.

Stopping in place and discovering there was nothing unusual, he said: "Brother Chen, you can come in, no problem!"

Swish!

With a flash of his figure, Chen Hu also entered inside the bronze door.

His Divine Sense erupted, instantly shrouding the entire Small World.

This Secret Realm Small World was not large, only about five or six hundred miles in radius.

As the saying goes, shallow water cannot raise a true Dragon, so although there were Yao Beasts inside, their numbers were not high, and the strongest was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

At the same time, his Divine Sense also discovered quite a few Spirit Medicines.

Their grade was also not high; the highest were only a few fourth-grade Spirit Medicines.

If there were only these, both Chen Hu and City Lord Shen Chonglou would feel extremely disappointed.

Fortunately, there was still a palace within the Secret Realm Small World.

The palace had Formations and Restrictions, isolating Divine Sense probing.

"Brother Chen, shall we collect the other things in the Secret Realm first before going to the palace?" City Lord Shen Chonglou suggested.

Although the other things in the Secret Realm were not valuable, even a mosquito is meat no matter how small it is.

Furthermore, City Lord Shen Chonglou was a Loose Cultivator by background, so there was no reason to turn up his nose at even the smallest Opportunity.
