104: Entering the secret realm, the so-called strange beast

After a bell rang, the barrier entrance sealing the Secret Realm opened.

Following that, a faint blue film covered the entrance. Although it appeared ordinary, it was quite extraordinary, allowing entry only to those holding a token.

The Great Emperors Treasury did not refer to the Treasure Trove left by a single Great Emperor, but rather the battlefield left behind when the Human Race resisted foreign races. Countless powerhouses perished there, and of course, there were also some weaker foreign beasts still remaining.

There were many Opportunities, but also many dangers.

"Let's go."

While Jun Hongxuan was outside the carriage conversing with other Prodigies of the Ten Chiefs, Jun Lingxiao stepped out first and walked towards the entrance.

Behind him, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"This is... the Divine Son of the Jun Family?"

"Is that Jun Lingxiao?"

Everyone stared at the handsome young man in front of them, momentarily stunned. Of course, it wasn't because of his appearance, but rather the aura surrounding him.

Dao rhythm manifested, his body forming its own Domain. Some people even found their vision blurred when they tried to look at Jun Lingxiao's face, clearly indicating some form of protection.

The young man walked with his head held high and chest out, calmly proceeding under everyone's gaze, neither hurried nor slow. All who saw him couldn't help but exclaim that he was indeed worthy of being the Divine Son of the Jun Family.

Of course, the most striking thing was the spiritual pet on his shoulder, which they had never seen before. Any Divine Sense probing it was like a stone sinking into the ocean, and when its two eyes looked over, everyone instinctively felt a chill.

The Ten Chiefs were stunned, not to mention the Loose Cultivators. They just stared blankly as Jun Lingxiao and a few others walked towards the entrance first.

They would make their plans after he passed through.

"Jun Lingxiao!" Qin Chengan gritted his teeth and glanced at Jun Lingxiao, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes.

He had thought he wouldn't encounter him this time. Sure enough, he had come.

The people from the Ye Family hadn't arrived, and the only one in this Secret Realm worthy of being his opponent was Jun Lingxiao, who was also one of the Three Heavens!

In the direction of the Qiu Family, although Qiu Jinyao couldn't see, she knew Jun Lingxiao's aura all too well. Her eyes, hidden beneath the white veil, gazed steadily in Jun Lingxiao's direction. She knew that at this moment, Jun Lingxiao must be the center of attention.

He had always been like this.

By the time she regained her senses, the other party had already led his entourage into the Secret Realm.

"Young Miss?"

The person behind Qiu Jinyao couldn't help but feel puzzled upon seeing their Young Miss in this state.

After all, Qiu Jinyao was truly a cold and arrogant Devil Head in the Qiu Family.

Yes!

A Devil Head! She would genuinely do anything!

Killing her sister was nothing. For anyone who dared to contradict her in public, her response was simply a single word: kill! She was practically like an emotionless monster.

Yet, the Old Ancestor still protected her.

Everyone in the Qiu Family feared her, believing her to be a cold monster.

But now, would this monster also show such a delicate expression?

"It's nothing, let's go too." Qiu Jinyao shook her head, harboring a joy in her heart that no one could detect.

Then, she also led her people into the Secret Realm.

As people outside gradually began to enter the Secret Realm, another bell rang, and the Secret Realm closed. This trial officially began.

Jun Lingxiao and Jun Hongxuan were teleported to a seashore.

Jun Lingxiao looked up; the sea stretched endlessly, seemingly without end. On the other side was a jungle, and strangely, the trees here were at least ten meters tall, with eerie blood vines climbing on them, making it extremely sinister.

Of course, it wasn't just the forest. Jun Lingxiao even saw several towering ruins in the distance, circular structures accompanied by unusual phenomena, seemingly reaching straight into the sky, their tops invisible. He could faintly sense dangerous auras emanating from within.

A faint scent of blood wafted from the forest, accompanied by the ominous aura of foreign beasts.

"So this is it, these are foreign beasts, mysterious, hollow, chaotic."

"However, this thing is quite magical."

There was no need to see it with his own eyes. Jun Lingxiao's Divine Sense was strangely absorbed when he probed, as if repelled. The latter part of his sentence was directed at a small array core in Jun Hongxuan's hand.

This was another small item, useful in the Secret Realm.

After standing together and activating it, the consciousness within the Secret Realm would treat the surrounding people as a whole and teleport them together. This was something only large Families possessed.

Loose Cultivators who traveled in groups, if they didn't have such an item, could only be teleported separately. After landing, they would use various signal flares to meet up in the sky.

"Brother, look, our Jun Family members are not far from here."

Jun Hongxuan also looked up, seeing a black signal flare rise and explode into a 'Jun' character in the sky, then reminded him.

He had already been to the Secret Realm several times, unlike Jun Lingxiao, who was a novice.

Afterward, various signal flares began to rise one after another. The forest could block Divine Sense, and the sky was very dangerous, so signal flares, the most primitive of items, were ironically the most effective.

Of course, signal flares not only guided one's own people but also provided direction for foreign beasts. The book Jun Lingxiao read before coming even recorded that some foreign beasts would use signal flares after killing people, then wait for prey to take the bait. Those were no longer mere animals but had developed intelligence.

Sure enough, the next moment Jun Lingxiao heard sounds of battle erupting all around.

However, he had no intention of dealing with these small foreign beasts. He looked up and finally spotted a giant pillar in the distance.

Many people from the Jun Family had come before, so they already knew exactly where was useful and where was not.

Each pillar contained a hidden Treasure Trove, and the largest one was also the core of this Secret Realm.

"Is that it?"

Jun Lingxiao asked.

"Chirp chirp~" His answer came from Little White Feather. She rubbed against Jun Lingxiao, as if trying to say something.

Jun Lingxiao thought it might be some feeling she had as a fellow foreign beast, so he didn't pay much attention. After discussing a few words with Jun Hongxuan, the two didn't linger and headed directly towards that place.

However, after they had walked for a while, Jun Hongxuan felt something was amiss.

"Brother, is someone following us?"

He instinctively looked back but surprisingly saw no one, asking with a puzzled scratch of his head.

"Hmm, but don't worry about it."

Jun Lingxiao didn't look back, but with his clear Dao Heart, he had long known that someone was following them.

It was undoubtedly the protagonist.

Earlier, outside, when the protagonist and his maid were bickering, he heard his name... Ling Tian. That name was very protagonist-like.

His maid didn't have a token so she stayed outside. The protagonist came in alone, wearing a black cloak. The forest contained countless dangers, and Jun Lingxiao was even curious to see how this protagonist would suffer after following them.

But unexpectedly, he seemed to have foresight, remaining safe and sound the entire way.

Even with clumsy hiding techniques that Jun Hongxuan could detect, he managed to avoid many dangers.

"Interesting, a foresight type? Or Rebirth Reincarnation?"

Jun Lingxiao thought with interest. However, if the other party didn't actively approach, he had no intention of alerting them. After all, he was definitely following for a purpose. He would wait and see what his purpose was first.

As a protagonist, instead of snatching various rare treasures in the Secret Realm and slapping the faces of onlookers, he was following him here. There must be something more to it.

The two had just walked a short distance when they suddenly heard someone shout loudly ahead.

"Everyone, don't panic! It's just a beast of the third realm! It's no match for us if we work together!"
