76: Flame Gallery

Hearing this, Lin Tian was greatly astonished.

"What? How did you figure that out?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "You don't need to know that. I just did."

Lin Tian said with a wry smile, "I originally thought that the power of a Martial Spirit could suppress everything, but I didn't expect that three Martial Spirit Realm Experts have already appeared on this trip to the Lesser Tongtian Secret Realm. And then there's you, who isn't a Martial Spirit Realm Expert but is stronger than one."

Lu Xingchen softly said, "Sect Master, there's no need to belittle yourself. In the Lesser Tongtian Secret Realm, I will definitely help you!"

Lin Tian nodded heavily, "Everything depends on you!"

The night passed without incident.

Early the next morning, the five righteous Sects and three evil Sects all set out together, heading towards the outskirts of Fengxue City (Wind Snow City).

On a mountain peak, there was a stone gate, which was the entrance to the Lesser Tongtian Secret Realm.

Everyone stopped in front of the stone gate. Ghost Frenzy stepped forward and said, "Everyone should have seen it, right? There's a Formation protecting this stone gate. Only by breaking through the Formation can we enter the Secret Realm. So, everyone, let's attack together!"

The crowd didn't waste any words, and all attacked together, unleashing their strongest strikes onto the stone gate.

Among them, Lin Tian and Ghost Frenzy's attacks were the most powerful, their Qi fluctuations startling those around them.

Lu Xingchen, however, concealed his strength. Not only did he not use the Heaven Swallowing Art, but he also only used fifty percent of his power, displaying strength comparable to an ordinary Six-Star Grand Martial Master.

Gu Yuan was also pretending; he only showed the strength of the Great Martial Master Realm.

But even so, the Formation on the stone gate was still broken by the crowd.

With the Formation broken, Ghost Frenzy took the lead and pushed open the stone gate.

The others quickly followed.

After entering the stone gate, Lu Xingchen felt a scorching aura rush towards him.

Looking ahead, he saw a long corridor.

Below the corridor was a raging inferno, with a few small scattered stones in the middle, serving as stepping stones for advancement.

Ghost Frenzy had intended to seize the initiative, but upon seeing this fiery corridor, he dared not immediately step forward.

The others also stopped one after another.

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Sect Master, are we going in?"

Lin Tian shook his head, "It's difficult."

"This fiery corridor stretches endlessly as far as the eye can see. The temperature in the corridor is very high, so one must continuously circulate battle Qi to protect the body and avoid being burned. If one's battle Qi is depleted before reaching the end, they will be burned to death."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "Your analysis is correct."

Just then, Yi Hong stepped forward.

"Cultivate is like sailing against the current; if you don't advance, you retreat. No matter what, we have to try. If our battle Qi is more than half depleted and we still haven't seen the end, then we can consider returning!"

Lin Tian nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Everyone prepare to enter the fiery corridor. Only consider leaving if your battle Qi consumption exceeds half!"

"Understood!"

Lu Xingchen suddenly said, "Wait a moment!"

Everyone from the Lingxiao Sect looked at him with puzzled expressions.

Lu Xingchen continued, "I have some third-rank qi recovery pills here. After consuming them, they can accelerate the recovery speed of battle Qi and help you all go further."

With that, Lu Xingchen gave three third-rank qi recovery pills to each Peak Master.

Receiving the Medicinal Pills, everyone looked at Lu Xingchen with grateful eyes.

Even Yi Hong, who had always had a rift with Lu Xingchen, slowly opened his mouth and said, "Lu Xingchen, thank you!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "We're all on the same side; this is what I should do."

With that, Lu Xingchen took out three more Medicinal Pills and handed them to Lin Tian.

"Sect Master, you have already made a Breakthrough to Martial Spirit Realm Expert, so third-rank pills are not very useful to you. But these three qi recovery pills of mine are Fourth-Grade."

Lin Tian took the Medicinal Pills, his voice filled with shock.

"Lu Xingchen, where did you get so many Medicinal Pills? Medicinal Pills have always been priceless on the Tianyuan Continent. I only take them in life-or-death situations. I've truly never seen anyone give them away so casually like you!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "I am an Alchemist myself, so refining a few Medicinal Pills is very easy. Sect Master, you don't need to feel burdened."

Lin Tian was startled and said in a deep voice, "You're not already a Fourth-Grade Alchemist, are you?"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "Sect Master, you're quite quick to react!"

Upon receiving a positive answer, everyone in the Lingxiao Sect looked at Lu Xingchen differently.

Alchemist is the noblest profession on the Tianyuan Continent.

A Fourth-Grade Alchemist alone could gather a large number of Martial Spirit Realm Experts.

Now, Lu Xingchen's power far surpassed that of the entire Lingxiao Sect.

If he wished, destroying the Lingxiao Sect would only be a matter of time!

The people from the eight major Sects were wary of each other, keeping a considerable distance, so the others did not hear Lu Xingchen's words.

After taking a Fourth-Grade qi recovery pill, Lin Tian was the first to enter the fiery corridor, continuously leaping between the small stones and rushing towards the depths of the Secret Realm.

With Lu Xingchen's Medicinal Pills as a safety net, the other members of the Lingxiao Sect also gained great confidence and stepped into the fiery corridor one after another.

Lu Xingchen also followed.

However, Lu Xingchen did not force his way through with brute strength; his shadow sword played a huge role at this time.

Lu Xingchen only needed to throw the shadow sword scabbard to the next stone and then activate his displacement skill to teleport over.

His consumption was the least among everyone.

Seeing Lu Xingchen's almost cheating way of passing, the other members of the Lingxiao Sect were both envious and relieved.

Envious that Lu Xingchen possessed such great Divine Ability, and relieved that Lu Xingchen was a Disciple of the Lingxiao Sect.

Seeing that all the Lingxiao Sect members had rushed in, the people from the other seven major Sects could no longer stand still.

What to do?

They couldn't just hand over the treasures, could they?

Gritting their teeth, the people from the other seven major Sects also successively entered the fiery corridor.

With the shadow sword, Lu Xingchen's advance speed was the fastest, even faster than Lin Tian, who was a Martial Spirit Realm Expert.

After half an hour, Lu Xingchen finally reached the end of the fiery corridor and stepped out of it.

After exiting the fiery corridor, Lu Xingchen made an estimate.

Any expert above a Five-Star Great Martial Master should be able to pass through the fiery corridor.

However, the fiery corridor was winding and endless, greatly testing one's Heart-Nature.

Only those who pressed forward bravely, leaving no room for retreat, could persevere to the end.

As for Lu Xingchen, he didn't need to push himself so hard, because he had the shadow sword, which was like a bug.

By the time he passed through the fiery corridor, he still had about seventy percent of his battle Qi remaining in his body.

Appearing before him were two blood-red tall towers.

One tower was large, and the other was small, with the small tower being only half the size of the large one.

Both towers were adorned with profound patterns and continuously exuded a blood-red liquid.

He didn't know if it was fresh blood or something else.

According to general rules, the larger tower should have a greater chance of containing treasures.

But Lu Xingchen was a bit greedy; he wanted to enter and explore both the large and small towers.

Needless to say, the others, in order to obtain the secret treasure that could help them Breakthrough to the Martial King Realm, would definitely prioritize entering the large tower.

Since that was the case, he could go to the small tower first!
