14: Chapter 14 The Second Greatest Opportunity in the Secret Realm

“Yes……”

Just as everyone responded in unison, they saw Lin Ruiyang's cold gaze sweep over them, instantly silencing them and causing cold sweat to stream down their backs.

It was terrifying; this was the first time they had felt Lin Ruiyang's terror.

However, Jiang Yueyao, who was beside him, felt an extremely terrifying aura approaching from within the forest just as everyone was responding to Lin Ruiyang, causing her scalp to tingle.

There was great terror in this forest, and it seemed to be the kind that moved upon hearing a sound.

“Let's go, remember what I just said!” Lin Ruiyang said softly.

As they delved deeper, everyone's expressions became more solemn.

They had encountered no less than ten Saint Realm level monsters within less than a day of entering the forest.

Fortunately, the other party did not actively attack, otherwise, they would have already perished here.

However, by the time those Cultivators from outside arrived at this forest, they probably wouldn't be so lucky.

Behind him, Jiang Yueyao's beautiful eyes occasionally glanced at Lin Ruiyang, filled with curiosity about this young man.

This was the first time the Ancient Kingdom Secret Realm had opened. How did this guy know all this? Could it be that he was the Reincarnation of a Taigu Divine Dynasty royal?

“This place is eerie and gloomy. Could there be ghosts?”

Beside him, Ye Qingcheng's beautiful eyes scanned the surroundings, her pretty face somewhat pale, and she spoke in a soft voice.

“There are no ghosts, but monsters naturally born in the mountain range. When they Cultivate to the extreme, they can be deified!”

Lin Ruiyang smiled slightly and spoke what he knew.

Of course, these were all plot points from the original work. In the future, many of these monsters would be able to Cultivate divine personalities.

Upon hearing this, everyone was inwardly shocked. They had only read about the legends of gods in books. They never expected these monsters to be so powerful.

.......

Outside the Ancient Kingdom Secret Realm.

In front of the Taichu Holy Land's Resident area, Immortal Lingyun's beautiful eyes were fixed on the Secret Realm entrance, wondering what she was thinking.

“Miss, I've found out! The Tianji Pavilion has calculated that this Secret Realm opening is estimated to last for more than ten months!”

Beside Immortal Lingyun, a shapely black figure appeared out of thin air and reported with cupped fists.

“I understand, you may withdraw!”

Immortal Lingyun's face was extremely calm as she waved her hand at the black-clothed woman.

She had already sent the situation of the Secret Realm back to the Holy Land. As for how the Holy Land chose, it was none of her business.

.......

After a month of walking, Lin Ruiyang and the others finally walked out of the forest. This past month felt like a year.

At this moment, they were not in a hurry to act, but instead took a break where they were. After all, the ancestral land of the Taigu Divine Dynasty's royal family was ahead, and it was better to be prepared.

“Eh……”

“What is that?”

Just then, a Disciple with a sharp mouth and monkey-like cheeks discovered a black bead not far away.

This bead emitted a suppressive aura, and it was clearly not an ordinary item.

“It's probably a treasure!”

Greed appeared in the Disciple's eyes, and he immediately took a step forward and grabbed the bead.

“Don't……”

Seeing this, Lin Ruiyang's expression changed drastically, and he immediately spoke to stop him.

“Boom!”

However, it was already too late. As soon as the Disciple touched the bead, endless black lightning instantly erupted.

“It's a lightning bead condensed from lightning, run!”

Immediately, the expressions of the nearby Disciples changed drastically, and they immediately ran towards the distance.

“Ah! Ah! Ah!”

The lightning light quickly spread, enveloping seven or eight Disciples, who were instantly blasted into dust.

Everyone was a fellow Disciple, and seeing this scene, they felt a chill run through their bodies.

This Secret Realm was too dangerous. Something that looked like a treasure turned out to be a malevolent object.

Those few Disciples were all at the Peak of the Daotai Realm, and they were instantly killed just like that.

In response, Lin Ruiyang merely glanced indifferently, without any pity for the deceased.

As the Holy Son, he had the obligation to protect his fellow Disciples who followed him out for training, but he would not save those who did not listen.

Days passed, and it had been two months since they entered the Secret Realm. Everyone had gained nothing, and some began to complain.

In their opinion, it was because of Lin Ruiyang that they were unable to claim the treasures they encountered.

On this day, Lin Ruiyang led everyone to a cemetery, with various tombstones standing tall, looking incredibly eerie.

“This must be the graveyard of the collateral branches of the royal family, right? I can sense many treasures inside!”

Jiang Yueyao looked at the countless graves around her and couldn't help but ask.

“That's right, this is one of the graveyards of the Taigu Divine Dynasty's royal family. Everyone can search for treasures on their own, but no fighting is allowed!”

Lin Ruiyang glanced around and said indifferently.

The journey was fraught with danger. Without five or six months, people from outside would not be able to reach this place, so it was a good Opportunity for them to search for some treasures.

“Yes, Holy Son!”

Upon hearing Lin Ruiyang's words, everyone immediately beamed with joy. Along the way, there were countless treasures that they could only look at but not take due to the Holy Son's command, which was truly agonizing.

“Let's go, I'll take you to a good place!”

Lin Ruiyang looked at the busy Disciples and couldn't help but shake his head. These guys must have been craving the treasures they saw along the way.

“Ah? Will they be alright if we leave them here?”

Jiang Yueyao frowned slightly and asked with some concern.

“It's fine, people from outside will take at least three months to get here!”

Lin Ruiyang did not explain further, speaking slowly.

Jiang Yueyao's combat power was unparalleled. As long as she broke through to the Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, basically no one in the Secret Realm, except for those monsters, would be her opponent.

After five days of travel, the three finally arrived at the summit of a towering mountain that reached into the clouds.

Above the mountaintop, a cluster of palaces appeared, suspended in the void, like a celestial realm.

The palaces were hidden among the white clouds, as if detached from the mortal world, residing outside of it.

“This... Isn't this the ancestral land of the Taigu Divine Dynasty? Why are there so many palaces?”

Ye Qingcheng's beautiful eyes flickered with brilliance, and her exquisite face was filled with shock.

Compared to Ye Qingcheng, Jiang Yueyao, who came from a Hidden Family, was much calmer: “This should be the biggest Opportunity in the Ancient Kingdom Secret Realm, right?”

“No, it's the second largest Opportunity!”

“Let's go!”

Saying that, Lin Ruiyang took the lead, lifted Ye Qingcheng, and flew towards the palaces above the white clouds.

Jiang Yueyao followed closely behind, her beautiful eyes, as bright as stars, looked around, filled with curiosity.

She didn't expect there to be such a magical place in this Secret Realm. Moreover, this young man in front of her seemed to have known about this place from the beginning, heading straight here as soon as he entered the Secret Realm.

“Who exactly are you?”

Jiang Yueyao carefully sized up Lin Ruiyang, feeling bewildered, but not daring to ask directly.

Soon, the three of them landed steadily at the entrance of the largest palace in the center. Looking around, they saw an endless expanse of palaces, magnificent and spectacular.

Looking back at the palace in front of them, various auspicious signs were displayed in the air: Qilins running, phoenixes flying, nine dragons playing with a pearl, cranes soaring...

“So many years have passed, and these auspicious signs have not dissipated. The foundation of the Taigu Divine Dynasty is truly unfathomable!”

Looking at the various auspicious signs in the void, Jiang Yueyao's beautiful eyes sparkled with brilliance, and she couldn't help but sigh.

“It's a good place, but unfortunately, it has ultimately become dust in history!”

“Let's go, let's go see the Sacred Pool!”

Lin Ruiyang only expressed a sigh of regret before taking the lead and stepping into the palace.

In the original work, Ye Chen relied on Jiang Yueyao to hold back the people from the Donghua Holy Land, fleeing frantically all the way, and stumbled upon this place in the sixth month of the Secret Realm's opening.

Using the Sacred Pool, he raised his Ancient Sacred Body to the minor completion stage, truly achieving invincibility at the same level.

“Ye Chen, oh Ye Chen, this time without Jiang Yueyao to save you, let's see how many times that old man of yours can save you!”
