5: Chapter 5 The Secret Realm of the Immortal Spring

The Yunteng Mountain Range was surrounded by mountains, with ethereal immortal clouds drifting about.

A behemoth of the world was entrenched here: the Qingxuan Sect.

As a first-class Sect of the current age, the heritage of the Qingxuan Sect could even be traced back tens of thousands of years.

At that time, the Qingxuan Sect was not yet called the Qingxuan Sect, but was revered as the Qingxuan Holy Land.

Within this region, it also held the position of an overlord standing at the Peak.

It was just a pity that on the path of the strong, the victor was honored while the defeated faded into obscurity.

Without a strong expert to carry the banner, stand firm in the vast clouds and oceans, and deter all directions.

Misfortunes never come singly; having suffered joint attacks from enemies, a generation of Holy Land thus fell into silence.

Its status plummeted, and it had to settle for being a second-rate Sect, the name of Holy Land vanished, changing its name to the Qingxuan Sect.

However, even so, the current strength of the Qingxuan Sect could still not be underestimated.

"Sect Master, something terrible has happened."

Before the words had even faded, the managing Elder rushed into the main hall.

"Being so flustered, what kind of decorum is this?"

Sect Master Tang Xuan, who had just returned from the Secret Realm fully loaded, was in a good mood. Furthermore, being able to obtain Sect Master Min Qingrou of the Heavenly Demon Sect soon made him even more excited.

Especially the latter, whose stunningly beautiful and alluring figure had left him unable to forget it after just one glance.

She had even been eyed by the Saint of the superior Sect, who regarded her as a possession; after paying a certain reward, he had asked him to take action and seize her on his behalf.

Therefore, although his words carried a tone of dignified reproach, there was essentially no real anger in them.

"Reporting to Sect Master, just a moment ago, the soul tablets of Elder Li, Elder Chen, and others shattered."

"What?"

Sect Master Tang Xuan seemed not to believe his own ears, and it took him a long time to recover from the shock.

One Golden Core Stage Middle Stage, one Golden Core Stage Early Stage, plus a group of Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators had actually died so inexplicably.

Was it an ambush by enemies seeking revenge?

Or had those women of the Heavenly Demon Sect recovered their cultivation and killed them all?

"How is that possible?"

Managing Elder Wang Xiang, with a trace of confusion, pondered slightly and said: "But there is one anomaly..."

"What is it?"

"The life tablet of Inner Sect Disciple Gu Qingge has not shattered yet."

"Gu Qingge..."

"His current cultivation is... Half-step Golden Core Stage..."

For a moment, Sect Master Tang Xuan could not judge whether the culprit behind all this was Gu Qingge or someone else.

However, he, who always acted with caution, smelled something unusual in this.

This Gu Qingge definitely had something strange about him.

At this thought, Sect Master Tang Xuan directly picked up the shattered soul tablets sent by the managing Elder, circulated his Spiritual Qi, and made it flow into the soul tablets.

One of the unique properties of the Qingxuan Sect's soul tablets was to track the location of death of the person who perished.

Afterwards, he stepped out using his unique speed-type Profound Grade High Grade Martial Skill, Cloud Chasing Steps, and searched for the location where the group from the Qingxuan Sect had fallen.

"A great battle broke out here before." Sect Master Tang Xuan analyzed after observing the situation around him.

"According to the remaining traces, the strongest expert was only at the Golden Core Stage."

It was full of doubts.

But this was a mountain range occupied by Yao Beasts, even someone as powerful as him, possessing the strength of the Nascent Soul Stage Middle Stage, dared not act too presumptuously.

"This matter will absolutely not end here!" Sect Master Tang Xuan clenched his fists tightly, emitting a violent sound.

Once the words were out, Sect Master Tang Xuan searched around again, but could still not find any clues.

In the end, he sighed inwardly that this delicious morsel had ultimately become a wedding dress for someone else, and he had to give up.

Returning to the Qingxuan Sect alone, he pondered how to deal with the Saint's fury.

...

In the Hundred Thousand Monster Mountain Range.

During this period, Gu Qingge did not force a Breakthrough, but chose to accumulate strength.

After initially subduing Sect Master Min Qingrou, his Heavenly Demon Emperor Body was fully awakened!

Although his strength had not broken through in terms of level, it had increased more than tenfold compared to before.

When the time was ripe, everything would naturally go smoothly, and stepping into the threshold of the Golden Core Stage would be the same.

"The Heavenly Demon Sect has ten quotas for the Immortal Treasure Spring Secret Realm."

Sect Master Min Qingrou, in a pink nightgown half-concealing her alluring curves, was currently gently massaging the head of Gu Qingge, who was lying on her lap.

"Oh? Really?" Gu Qingge, who had his eyes closed, opened them, and immediately became interested.

The Immortal Treasure Spring Secret Realm was a Secret Realm controlled by major Sects in the Tianbei Region; the treasures and opportunities contained within it were hard to ignore.

Regarding the Immortal Treasure Spring Secret Realm, as the number one Inner Sect Disciple of the Qingxuan Sect, Gu Qingge had naturally heard some secret rumors.

This Secret Realm opened once every hundred years, and each time it opened, it gathered prodigies and heroes from various Sects, which could be called a grand gathering of the prosperous age.

And within the Secret Realm, the fighting was fierce, and the number of prodigies and heroes who died tragically was countless.

More importantly, the cultivation of the Cultivators that this Secret Realm could accommodate at most was limited to the Golden Core Stage.

As for Cultivators of the Nascent Soul Stage, Soul Transformation Stage, and others, if they forced their way in, they would all be crushed into powder by the power of space.

This was a conclusion drawn from bloody lessons in the past.

Because of this, all Sects and factions strictly complied; otherwise, those reclusive old monsters would inevitably rise up and compete to take action.

But unfortunately, the quotas for that place had already been reserved for some Elders and True Disciples with powerful strength or extraordinary backgrounds.

Even if he broke through to the Golden Core Stage, it would not be his turn anyway.

"Although the Heavenly Demon Sect has been destroyed today, relying on this Sect Master token, one can still enter with it."

As she spoke, Sect Master Min Qingrou took out a palm-sized token from her spatial ring.

On the token, a majestic and terrifying Heavenly Demon scene was carved.

This token was the token held by the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect to represent her identity, the heavenly demon token.

When it came to the Sect heritage of the Heavenly Demon Sect, it was definitely not as long-standing as the Qingxuan Sect.

Since the founding of the Heavenly Demon Sect, it had only been passed down for a few hundred years in the Tianbei Region.

The entire Sect had only experienced two generations of Sect Masters; generally speaking, its heritage was extremely thin.

The previous Sect Master, who was the Master of Sect Master Min Qingrou, was the Heavenly Demon Elder.

At the same time, he was also the founder of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and back then, he was a powerful Cultivator at the Soul Transformation Stage Middle Stage.

But this Soul Transformation Stage expert, after participating in a Secret Realm of the strong that appeared a hundred years ago, disappeared without a trace.

For decades, there had been no news.

No matter how many methods Sect Master Min Qingrou and the others used to contact him, they all ended up like a stone sinking into the sea.

According to news passed down by the strong who also participated in that Secret Realm, the Heavenly Demon Elder had already been buried at the hands of the indigenous Yao Race within the Secret Realm, and had completely perished.

Although Sect Master Min Qingrou had never believed this, facing the fact that the Heavenly Demon Sect was without a leader, she had to go with the flow.

The heavy burden of the entire Sect thus fell upon Sect Master Min Qingrou, who was the successor to the Sect Master and also the one with the highest cultivation in the Sect.

"It is said that a woman three years older brings gold bricks, thirty years older gives an empire, and three hundred years older gives an Immortal Pill."

"Rou'er, you really are my Immortal Pill and miraculous medicine."

Gu Qingge reached out his finger and hooked the perky nose of Sect Master Min Qingrou, his eyes full of pity and affection.

Afterwards, he kissed her long, fair, jade-like neck.

After experiencing the intimacy of the past few days, Sect Master Min Qingrou's cheeks flushed, like a ripe peach, sweet and moist, refreshing the heart and soul.

"Husband, will you fail me in this life?"

Nourished by love and being loved, the cold and noble Heavenly Demon Sect Sect Master, who was like an immortal, where was her demeanor of deciding life and death and looking down on the world at this moment?

She was almost no different from an ordinary wife pursuing a happy life.

Gu Qingge sighed and said bluntly: "If you do not fail me, I will not fail you either."

Afterwards, Gu Qingge got up, intending to go out to hunt some Yao Beasts to make delicious food.

This was a habit he had never changed, whether before or after cultivating immortality.

Furthermore, Sect Master Min Qingrou and the other women, because their strength was sealed and they could not abstain from grains, also needed to eat.

On the other side, watching Gu Qingge walk away slowly, Sect Master Min Qingrou was slightly distracted.

"I hope my choice was not wrong."

Sect Master Min Qingrou smiled, gently caressing her lower abdomen, feeling a faint heartbeat of life coming from there.

Although weak, it contained vigorous vitality.

After the intimacy of this period, she was already pregnant.

It had become an inseparable part of her soft and jade-like body.

"Although it is said in storybooks that if we walk together in the snow, we will grow old together, I have never believed it."

"However, now, you are the person who has made me have attachments in my heart."

"In this life, I only wish to hold your hand and grow old with you."
