179: Chapter 179 First Entry into the Secret Realm

The entrance to the Secret Realm was large enough that even with numerous Cultivators flooding in at the same time, there was no congestion.

To prevent encountering emergencies after entering, these Cultivators would cover their bodies with Spiritual Qi before entering. Even though Lin Qing intentionally restrained his Divine Thought, he could still sense their strength.

This Secret Realm, which had attracted the attention of the entire continent, had indeed drawn out some hidden Prodigies. At the very least, in Lin Qing's perception, there were hundreds of Cultivators who were not inferior to Wang Xiao.

After coming to the Central Continent, Lin Qing had made a point of learning about the information regarding these super-powers of the Central Continent, so when their massive groups entered the Secret Realm, Lin Qing recognized them at a glance.

Lin Qing discovered that some of them were not right. Although they looked no different from others based on the Spiritual Qi outside their bodies, the five senses brought to Lin Qing by Ultra Instinct told him that these people were very strong.

To confirm the situation, Lin Qing quietly spread out his Divine Thought to investigate. Although he still did not find any abnormalities, someone among these people cast an obscure glance toward Lin Qing's side.

God Realm!

Lin Qing was certain that these people were God Realm Cultivators. With his Divine Thought strength at the half-step God Realm, it was impossible for an eighth-rank Cultivator to detect his investigation. Even if there were some, they must be extremely special existences, and there wouldn't be many such people.

And among the Cultivators Lin Qing investigated, at least a quarter of them had glanced at him, and the others who didn't look at him didn't necessarily mean they hadn't discovered him.

Lin Qing began to ponder.

The initial information about the Kunxu Secret Realm was that those above the God Realm were not allowed to enter. Later, because there were too many people, the super-powers added restrictions of being above the eighth rank and under two hundred years old. In other words, the Secret Realm itself had no age or minimum cultivation level restrictions.

The information that those above the God Realm could not enter came from fifty thousand years ago. At that time, the Secret Realm was severely damaged, causing the God Realm Cultivators to be squeezed out. So, is it possible that after fifty thousand years of recovery, the Secret Realm could now accommodate God Realm Cultivators?

Good, good, good. He had been wondering why these super-powers were so generous; as the hegemons of the Central Continent, they were willing to share the Secret Realm, allowing anyone who met the conditions to enter. So it turned out that being pressured by public opinion was fake, and not caring was the truth.

Since you don't care, then Lin Qing doesn't care either. As long as the situation is confirmed in the end—for example, if someone unleashes God Realm strength to deal with him—then he would simply achieve his Breakthrough to the God Realm on the spot.

After a familiar moment of dizziness, the scene before his eyes began to change. Rolling mountains appeared before Lin Qing, the dense Spiritual Qi almost congealed into white mist, and the fragrance of various plants and Spirit Medicine drifted through the air.

His previous prediction was correct; the Secret Realm utilized random teleportation, and at this moment, there were no other Disciples around Lin Qing. It was likely that when those forces attacked the Kunxu Secret Realm back then, they destroyed the positioning Formation at the entrance.

Lin Qing briefly extended his Divine Thought for a moment to test the waters. Although he had already guessed that God Realm Cultivators had entered the Secret Realm, he did not want to be the first to stand out. What if those people had also misjudged the situation?

He would wait until he saw them unleash their strength with his own eyes before talking about the Breakthrough to the God Realm.

The Secret Realm had a certain level of suppression on Divine Thought, but it was not too severe. His Divine Thought, which could originally cover five million miles, was suppressed to one million miles, but this did not mean that this exploration of the Secret Realm would be easy.

First of all, the Secret Realm was very large, spanning fifty million miles in radius. Secondly, in Lin Qing's perception, there were Formations isolating Divine Thought everywhere. Within the one million miles covered by Lin Qing's Divine Thought alone, there were dozens of such places. Relying on Divine Thought to explore the entire Secret Realm was almost impossible.

There were many Cultivators who had entered the Secret Realm. Just in that instant, he had detected hundreds of people. However, his current Divine Thought was not enough for him to identify which ones were the Disciples of the three Sects in an instant, so he took out the token he had specially made earlier.

Although this token was only crafted using eighth-rank techniques, it was not suppressed by the Secret Realm, and Lin Qing clearly sensed the positions of everyone.

At this moment, the voices of other Disciples were already coming from the token.

"Wow, such dense Spiritual Qi."

"Guys, I think I've been teleported to the Immortal Cave of some God Realm Cultivator."

"Damn you!"

Upon first entering the Secret Realm, everyone was obviously still quite excited. Lin Qing transmitted his voice through the token: "First, find nearby Fellow Daoists to regroup. If you encounter danger, send a message immediately."

After finishing the transmission, to prevent not receiving distress signals in time, Lin Qing did not put the token back into his Storage Ring. However, these people were too scattered, and it was impossible for Lin Qing to go find them one by one.

Lin Qing already had a plan for the places that needed to be explored in this Secret Realm: the Scripture Pavilion and the Treasure Pavilion. If the gains from these places were not significant, he might also go to the Spirit Medicine garden or the Sect's Forbidden Ground.

The map given by Li Yaqing had long been imprinted in Lin Qing's mind. After confirming his location, Lin Qing began to fly in one direction.

At this moment, he had already retracted his Divine Thought to within tens of thousands of miles around him. To prevent breaking into some unknown dangerous places, he did not use Yaoshuang to teleport.

Along the way, Lin Qing encountered many Cultivators. Some were already fighting, either competing for Spirit Medicine or simply eyeing the other party's Storage Ring. When Lin Qing passed by, they silently locked their Divine Thought onto Lin Qing to prevent him from attacking suddenly.

Lin Qing's original Divine Thought coverage range was five million miles, which was suppressed to one million after entering the Secret Realm. As for them, their original Divine Thought range was only tens of thousands or over a hundred thousand miles. After being suppressed by the Secret Realm, some people's Divine Thought coverage range was only a few thousand miles left.

In other words, the Divine Thought that Lin Qing had intentionally suppressed still covered a further distance than these people.

Some people recognized Lin Qing and respectfully bowed to him. Lin Qing was ranked fourth on the young master ranking and already had quite a reputation in the Central Continent, so it was not strange to be recognized. To these respectful Cultivators, Lin Qing nodded slightly in response and then continued on his way.

Of course, there were also short-sighted Cultivators who eyed Lin Qing's Storage Ring and were casually killed by him.

After traveling for a while, Lin Qing arrived at the first stop of the Secret Realm, the Scripture Pavilion.

The Scripture Pavilion of the Kunxu Immortal Sect stood on the top of a magnificent mountain. Its appearance was the common pagoda shape, with a diameter reaching several miles and a height reaching dozens of miles.

There was a plaza in front of the pagoda. At this moment, quite a few people had already gathered on the plaza, and people from afar were also flying toward this side.

Some of them had just been teleported nearby, and then saw this magnificent pagoda from afar, so they headed here.

And some people, like Lin Qing, held a map of the Secret Realm. Apparently, the ancestors of the Li family were not the only survivors of the Kunxu Immortal Sect; even those super-powers might have a map in their hands.

Lin Qing landed on the plaza, and someone greeted him: "Brother Lin!"

Lin Qing nodded at him, then gestured with his eyes to the people around, and asked him: "What's the situation now?"

Everyone was currently stopped on the plaza, and no one entered the Scripture Pavilion. Apparently, there was some situation, and everyone knew the reason, so Lin Qing didn't feel it was impolite to ask.

As he expected, the man did not hide anything and directly explained to Lin Qing: "It requires identity verification."
