95: Actions by all parties

Seeing that the massive Sword Qi Dragon was showing its sharpness and achieving impressive results, Chu Yuan couldn't help but feel a slight relaxation in his heart.

But he had clearly celebrated too early.

After several breaths, the massive Sword Qi Dragon completely crushed the fierce evil Qi, breaking through its blockade.

At this point, the massive Sword Qi Dragon had only dimmed by about ninety percent.

Chu Yuan, enveloped by frost Sword Qi, followed closely behind the massive Sword Qi Dragon.

But at this moment, another anomaly occurred.

Just as the massive Sword Qi Dragon broke through the fierce evil Qi's blockade, it violently slammed into an invisible, transparent barrier of light.

"Boom!"

The powerful counter-shock force forcibly shattered the massive Sword Qi Dragon, and Chu Yuan was also knocked down from the high altitude.

"Pfft!"

His body crashed onto the ground, and he violently spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his expression extremely grim.

"At least a seventh-grade Formation!"

Since he was a sixth-grade Array Master himself, he naturally had a clearer understanding of the power of the barrier formed by this Formation.

With his current ability, he could not break the Formation!

If this Formation didn't seem only capable of trapping enemies, he would have likely already fled into the primal origin space.

"How could a Secret Realm that only allows Spirit Core Realm and Spirit Crystal Realm Cultivators to enter have such a powerful Formation?"

Chu Yuan's expression was uncertain and suspicious. He got up and glanced at the thousands of white skeletons in the distance.

He then looked at the fierce evil Qi that was re-gathering above, and the transparent barrier behind it.

"Perhaps I have directly entered a certain Forbidden Ground within the Xuanhong Secret Realm?"

Chu Yuan frowned upon thinking of this. "But with my current Luck, how can my fortune still be so poor?"

"Or is it that this entrapment will be a situation where danger turns into fortune, resulting in a blessing?"

"Roar!"

Suddenly, an earth-shattering roar came, and Chu Yuan's expression changed slightly as he turned to look.

He saw that the canyon had stopped shaking, and in front of him, a massive creature crawled up from underground.

It was a pitch-black demonic ape, whose body was the size of a small mountain, with blood-red eyes and thick Demonic Evil Qi swirling around its body.

"Sixth-tier Demon Emperor Realm Perfection!"

"Wait, no!"

"It seems like more than that, yet it hasn't stepped into the seventh tier. This is somewhat strange!"

Chu Yuan's expression was solemn, and he looked at the demonic ape with a slight trace of apprehension.

He glanced at the skeleton army eyeing him aggressively behind him and let out a wry laugh.

"You have won for now!"

As his voice fell, Chu Yuan no longer hesitated and directly escaped into the primal origin space.

He was currently sustaining serious injuries, and his spiritual energy was nearly depleted. Only a fool would continue to clash head-on with them.

He would recover first, then return for the decisive battle!

... Above a certain plain.

Chu Xuan Ning and the other Heavenly Pill Valley Disciples had somehow gathered together.

"Senior Sister Chu, where should we go next?"

A Heavenly Pill Valley Disciple asked, and everyone's gaze fell upon Chu Xuan Ning.

Although many of their Cultivations were higher than Chu Xuan Ning's, their talent was not as good as hers, nor was her background as strong.

Therefore, Chu Xuan Ning was the leader this time.

The Valley Master had specifically instructed them to follow Chu Xuan Ning's arrangements.

Chu Xuan Ning swept her gaze over the crowd and then spoke:

"I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the Xuanhong Secret Realm, so I won't elaborate further."

"Our Heavenly Pill Valley has searched for so many years without success. The Pill Saint Legacy is very likely located within the three great Forbidden Grounds."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed slightly, showing fear.

The Xuanhong Secret Realm has three great Forbidden Grounds: the Boneyard, the Heavenly Sword Canyon, and the God Burying Abyss.

Regarding these three places, even existences at Spirit Crystal Realm Perfection dare not venture into them.

If the danger in the Xuanhong Secret Realm has a fifty percent mortality rate, then entering the three great Forbidden Grounds means certain death.

After all, it wasn't as if no one unafraid of death had tried before.

Of those who entered the three great Forbidden Grounds, none survived, not even Prodigies at Spirit Crystal Realm Perfection.

Some even attempted to Breakthrough to the Spirit Soul Realm within the Xuanhong Secret Realm before trying to enter the three great Forbidden Grounds, but they never emerged either.

Only their hasty final transmissions allowed the world to know the terror of the three great Forbidden Grounds.

Later, no one entering the Xuanhong Secret Realm would ever mention going to the three great Forbidden Grounds again.

Now that Chu Xuan Ning mentioned this, what was she planning?

Chu Xuan Ning continued:

"Senior Brother Lu, each of you two Spirit Crystal Realm Cultivators should take a few Spirit Core Realm Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, and simply seek your own Opportunities within the Secret Realm."

"If you are lucky enough to encounter the Pill Saint Legacy, please send a message to notify the others."

"If you don't find it, it means we don't have the Luck for it, so there is no need to force it!"

Hearing this, everyone subtly sighed in relief.

They were truly afraid that Chu Xuan Ning wanted to lead them into the three great Forbidden Grounds!

How was that different from courting death?

"We understand!"

Everyone bowed slightly and then left in pairs.

Watching everyone leave, Chu Xuan Ning narrowed her eyes and murmured thoughtfully:

"The Boneyard is rumored to be shrouded by an eighth-grade Formation, allowing entry but no exit, and contains countless mutated skeletons whose strength is at least Early Stage Spirit Crystal. This place cannot be entered."

"The Heavenly Sword Canyon is filled with terrifying Sword Qi crisscrossing everywhere. Those who step inside instantly perish, even existences who have just entered the Spirit Soul Realm are no exception."

"The Heavenly Sword Canyon has no concealment; countless predecessors have witnessed this, so it cannot be false."

"The most mysterious place is the God Burying Abyss. Should I go take a look over there?"

Chu Xuan Ning hesitated, the light in her eyes flickering with both a yearning for the Pill Saint Legacy and a reverence for life and death.

"Alas!"

"Forget it, everything is up to fate!"

As her voice fell, she casually left in one direction, as if listening to the guidance of destiny... Inside a certain canyon.

Fierce evil Qi was scattered everywhere, and cold winds gusted, sounding like ghosts wailing and wolves howling.

Occasionally, a few blood-red monsters flickered within the canyon. When they inadvertently looked up, their crimson eyes seemed ready to devour people.

At this moment, a group of people arrived here.

"Senior Brother, this is the place. We need to deal with these Blood Spirit Beasts in the canyon and enter the depths of the canyon before we can activate the Formation and enter the Legacy Land."

"I know. Let's start!"

The leading young man nodded faintly, and then a blood-colored long saber appeared in his hand as he stepped into the canyon.

Seeing this, the people behind him quickly moved their fingers, forming hand seals, and one after another Yao Beasts appeared, following them into the canyon.

In other places, Disciples from various factions and Loose Cultivators also began their treasure hunting journey.

Occasionally, one could see Cultivators fighting fiercely over a small treasure.

Or scenes of Cultivators battling the monsters within the Secret Realm.

Due to the arrival of these Cultivators, the overall sense of silence in the Xuanhong Secret Realm instantly diminished significantly... Inside the primal origin space.

After Chu Yuan recovered from his injuries, he quickly scanned his attributes.

Afterward, he sat cross-legged, preparing to Breakthrough!

Once he Broke through to the Spirit Crystal Realm Peak, he would go fight the demonic ape again, using it to hone his control over his own strength.

In short, the priority was still to Breakthrough his strength to Spirit Crystal Realm Perfection, reaching an unbreakable state before considering anything else.

As for other matters, they could wait. He figured there was always a way out.

At worst... at worst, he would stay in the Xuanhong Secret Realm for twenty years and raise his Luck and Comprehension Ability to Saint-Grade.

By then, even if Saint-Grade Luck didn't bring a turning point, Saint-Grade Comprehension Ability should allow him to create subsequent Cultivation Techniques, right?

Of course, it was highly likely that things wouldn't reach that point!

Thinking this in his heart, Chu Yuan began circulating his Cultivation Technique, preparing for his Breakthrough.
