37: Sending them to their deaths separately

After passing through the twisted and deep entrance of the Secret Realm, the crowd entering felt a dizzying distortion before their eyes.

The next moment, they found themselves in an independent world filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.

The sky here was as blue as if washed clean, and the air was permeated with rich Spiritual Qi and the fragrance of grass and trees.

In the distance were rolling mountains, and nearby was a vast grassland.

If not for State Lord Wu Changfeng repeatedly warning them before entering that this place was fraught with danger, they might not have thought that a place looking like a paradise could hold any peril.

Even more strangely, contrary to what Lu Yi had expected, everyone who entered the Secret Realm was neatly teleported to the same location, landing on this piece of grassland.

This made Lu Yi feel a bit odd.

In his impression, in typical Xuanhuan novels, when such large-scale Secret Realms opened, to ensure "fairness," all entrants would be randomly teleported to different locations within the Secret Realm.

Then everyone would rely on their own abilities to fish in troubled waters and seek Opportunities.

Like this, sending a group of people harboring ulterior motives and competing with each other to the same starting point was somewhat unnatural.

Just as the crowd was still somewhat dazed, taking out the maps distributed by Wu Changfeng, and preparing to look for landmarks to determine their location, a figure suddenly shot out from the crowd, turning into a stream of light and speeding off in a certain direction.

That figure was neither Lin Tian nor Wu Yang, but the Xuanwu Kingdom Crown Prince who had been the most expectant about this Secret Realm—Wu Mingxi.

His actions were like a fuse, instantly igniting the emotions of everyone present.

Some quick-reacting people immediately activated their Spiritual Qi, following the direction Wu Mingxi had gone and flying off together.

Just then, someone in the crowd, acting like a fool, shouted at the top of their lungs: "Everyone, split up! Let's each seek our own Opportunities!"

This shout completely ignited the restless crowd.

Most of the remaining Cultivators instantly scattered like birds and beasts, fearing they would fall behind others.

They all pushed their speed to the limit, flying off in all directions, and vanished into the sky in the blink of an eye.

Influenced by this fanatic Aura, even Wu Mingyue became eager to try.

She watched those figures scattering and imitated their posture, crouching down, seemingly preparing to pick a direction at random and take off to find treasure.

However, just as she was crouching down and preparing to take off, a large hand descended from the sky, pressing down on her little head and bringing all her movements to a sudden halt.

"Thud."

Lu Yi curled his finger and gave her head a light, yet firm, knock.

"Ouch!"

Wu Mingyue cried out in pain, covering the spot where she was knocked.

She turned back, dissatisfied, and asked Lu Yi: "Saint! What are you doing! If we don't set off now, won't all the good things be snatched up by them first?"

Lu Yi looked at her impatient demeanor and found it rather amusing.

He retorted: "Take a look at your own cultivation level before you rush out with them! This isn't splitting up to act; this is splitting up to die!"

His name was Lu Yi, not Louis XVI, and he had no hobby of dying by decapitation.

Being told this by Lu Yi, Wu Mingyue immediately realized that she had indeed been a bit impulsive just now.

With her amateur cultivation level, if she really ran out alone, let alone finding treasure, she would likely lose her life here if she encountered just any slightly powerful Yao Beast.

She stuck out her tongue, then quite naturally stepped forward, hugged Lu Yi's arm, and said in a coquettish tone: "Then I'll just follow you! Having you protect my safety is enough, hehe."

Lu Yi shook his head helplessly, which counted as tacit approval.

He looked up, combined the direction Wu Mingxi had flown without hesitation with the map in his hand, and immediately had a guess in his heart.

That direction should be the location of the final goal of this Secret Realm—the Hall of Inheritance.

The surrounding rolling terrain also confirmed his conjecture.

He decided to go to that Hall of Inheritance to join in the fun as well.

If his expectations were correct, those two guys, Wu Yang and Lin Tian, would also coincidentally be guided by various "Opportunities" to that Hall of Inheritance after wandering around outside.

He was somewhat curious: if two Sons of Destiny arrived at the same Hall of Inheritance simultaneously, who should this Old Ancestor's Legacy be given to?

It couldn't be that they would forcibly split a complete Legacy in two and give each person half, right?

He really had to go and join in on the fun for such a good show.

Of course, he was not interested in the so-called Divine Soul Realm Legacy itself.

However, he was very interested in the scene of two Sons of Destiny fighting each other to snatch an Opportunity.

But what interested him even more was actually State Lord Wu Changfeng.

What kind of contingency plans would this guy prepare in this Secret Realm?

He wouldn't really just hand over his family's Old Ancestor's lifelong Legacy to outsiders, would he?

Lu Yi did not think he was an open-minded person like Abe.

All these questions would likely only be revealed once he reached that Hall of Inheritance.

Subsequently, Lu Yi pointed in the direction of the Hall of Inheritance and said to Shen Yueyao beside him: "Yueyao, if nothing goes wrong, that should be the location of the final Hall of Inheritance."

"Let's go, let's go join in the fun!"

Shen Yueyao herself had no interest in this so-called Legacy.

After all, she came from the Upper Realm, and her vision was far beyond that of Lower Realm Cultivators.

In her view, a mere Divine Soul Realm Legacy could not be considered a remarkable Opportunity.

Furthermore, she already possessed the Cultivation Technique that came with her Vast Moon Divine Body, so she was naturally not interested in other Legacies.

However, as soon as she heard Lu Yi say there was "fun" to be had, she immediately became interested.

"I'm not really interested in the Legacy itself," she said with a smile, "but as for the fun, I'm quite interested!"

Seeing her agree, Lu Yi no longer delayed.

He glanced at Wu Mingyue, who was still holding his arm, and shook his head.

With her cultivation level, it was hard for her to keep up with his and Shen Yueyao's speed.

It would be more convenient to just carry her while flying.

The next moment, ignoring Wu Mingyue's exclamation, he reached out and scooped her up.

Then he effortlessly carried her petite body at his waist, just like holding a slightly larger doll.

Subsequently, the three of them turned into two streams of light and flew rapidly in the direction of the Hall of Inheritance.
