Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman
Chapter 308 - Chapter 308 Chapter 195 Secret Realm_2

Chapter 308: Chapter 195: Secret Realm_2 Chapter 308: Chapter 195: Secret Realm_2 He paid no heed to the approach of the Fire Knight, continuing to chant scriptures at the bronze door.

“Are you one of the Foundation Establishment cultivators that followed the Old Ancestor of the Artifact Heart Sect to guard the secret realm?”

“To think you’ve turned into such a ghastly state, neither human nor ghost.”

“Even these elite disciples failed to survive, it seems the Old Ancestor’s escape from the secret realm was more pathetic than I imagined.”

As Su Ping thought this to himself, he had the Fire Knight on high alert.

The two-handed greatsword was gripped in hand, and Exorcism Intense Fire began to emit from his body.

As he stepped into the main hall area.

A white light suddenly burst above the bronze door.

A benevolent, semi-transparent face appeared within the white light and started reciting scriptures at the Fire Knight.

The sound of the scriptures twisted into a solid form like black light and charged at the Fire Knight.

However, they kept fizzling out with a crackle, vanishing into thin air.

The benevolent face in the white light contorted for a moment and then screamed,

“Why do you refuse to listen to the teachings of the gods?”

“Blasphemy, this is blasphemy!”

“Hurry up and give up everything, join us, and all your desires will be satisfied here!”

The face within the white light grew increasingly blurry, and its voice grew more piercing.

Normally, it would draw upon the most coveted things in the person before it to break down their mental defenses.

Just a tiny crack would be enough for the white light to permeate and turn them into its puppet.

Unfortunately, the person before it was an anomaly.

The evil spirit-enhanced divine skills proved still ineffective!

The frustrated entity no longer looked kind and benevolent, transforming instead into a glowing jellyfish over ten meters tall.

At the same time, the jellyfish had many thin tentacles of light, connected to the praying tiger-headed and pig-headed beings.

As the divine skills failed to work, these bizarre people got up and charged at the Fire Knight.

But Su Ping was well-prepared for this too.

The Fire Knight unleashed a fully-powered Fire Phoenix Burning attack.

In an instant, he turned the mountaintop into a sea of fire and a Fire Phoenix with wings spanning over a hundred meters soared up to face the White Light Jellyfish.

Simultaneously, the Fire Knight bit into a capsule in his mouth, consuming a life potion and a mana potion.

Furthermore, five Purple Light Foxes were summoned, but before they could even unleash their thunder auxiliary attacks,

the tiger-headed and pig-headed creatures who were mere puppets with Foundation Establishment cultivation, and not body cultivators, were directly burned to ashes by the flames specialized in restraining evil spirits!

And that clearly “boss-level” White Light Jellyfish under the flames brought forth by the Fire Phoenix, had its size reduced by more than half, emitting cries for help.

These cries mingled with dozens of different male and female voices.

Listening to them, Su Ping faintly recognized several voices he should have heard before.

They were the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Artifact Heart Sect he had met at a conference.

He didn’t expect that upon seeing them again, their divine souls had already been turned into evil spirits.

“Alas, there’s not much I can do to help.”

“But I will do my best to free you from the control of the evil spirit! It’s the least I can do to earn some merit, with the hope of someday encountering your storage bags.”

Su Ping sighed.

The next moment, the soaring Fire Phoenix twisted its head and spewed out a flame.

It directly sent off the White Light Jellyfish.

The Fire Phoenix then gave a slow cry and gradually dissipated into the sky.

In doing so, it also created an area above the mountain top without any black mist.

This left the cultivators on the decks of the tower ships on the sea dumbfounded.

“Who is this genius that has come from where?”

“That Fire Phoenix, could it have been summoned with a spiritual artifact given by a Golden Core great power?”

“To possess such power is one thing, but I feel like these flames specifically restrain those black mists! Look at how slowly the black mist is recovering at the mountaintop!”

“Quick, report this immediately, in the fastest way possible!”

“Such a genius cultivator must have a purpose for coming here!”

“Perhaps the secret realm isn’t really worthless?”

The Foundation Establishment cultivator at the bow of the ship thought to himself, his expression changing slightly as he silently reminded himself not to misspeak.

Questioning the words of his sect’s Old Ancestor, was that something a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like himself could do?

Suppressing a certain desire, he simply hoped this anomaly would allow him to receive credit and to smoothly return to the mainland.

On this forsaken sea with hardly any spiritual energy, merely over ten days had already been enough torture for him!

But!

As Su Ping controlled the Fire Knight to perform a psychic sweep of the surroundings, he found no storage bag and reluctantly walked into the bronze door of the secret realm.

Suddenly, the secret realm behind the bronze door emitted a faint white light.

In an instant,

The cultivators on the tower ships within a hundred miles of the sea area, and even the fish in the ocean,

All felt an unbearable hunger and yearning surge up from the depths of their souls.

Along with the hunger, came various desires for the secrets deep in the secret realm, one after another.

It was as if instinctively they knew that by landing on the island, entering that secret realm,

They could find an incredible fortune that would transform their ordinary lives and satisfy the deep hunger of their souls.

“To the… to the island!”

“Yes, there must be treasures on that island, good stuff!”

“We can’t let others get there before us!”

The seafarers on the tower ships were the first to be unable to resist and set sail.

The cultivators wanted to stop them but quickly succumbed to the madness, beginning to think that perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad to take a cautious look?

“No! No way!”

The Foundation Establishment cultivator at the bow of the ship sensed something was wrong immediately.

He even forcefully retreated and left the tower ship, diving into the sea to continue distancing himself.

However, just a few breaths later, this Foundation Establishment cultivator burst out from the sea with an even more frenzied expression.

At a speed faster than the full-speed swimming tower ships, he rushed towards the mountaintop.

He became the second cultivator today to enter the bronze door.

Meanwhile, Su Ping in the high-altitude balloon muttered ‘well, well’ upon witnessing this scene, summoned the Exorcism Mage Yun Kong to stand by for support, and then steered the high-altitude balloon to begin retreating in the opposite direction.

When in doubt, better to get far away from this sea area first!

Boom!

Inside the secret realm,

Su Ping noticed that the scenery along the way didn’t seem to have changed,

Black swamps, little hills strewn with steles.

It appeared that no cultivators had perished in this secret realm during this time, as Su Ping didn’t sense any storage bags with his Divine Sense.

Feeling a bit nostalgic for the old times,

Su Ping suddenly noticed some activity in the swamp.

It was a Foundation Establishment cultivator who appeared there and then flew out on a Green Wood Flying Boat.

After giving the Fire Knight a glance,

He dashed to the hillside, found the stele at the top of the mountain,

Then he put away his magic artifact and fell to his knees in front of the stele, knocking his head against it repeatedly.

His essence, Qi, and spirit began to merge into the stele,

Making the frequency at which the golden chains binding the stele shake imperceptibly faster.

Su Ping, with the Thunder Light Fox by his side, appeared in front of this Foundation Establishment cultivator and swung a sword to disrupt the strange ritual’s frequency.

“Redemption… redemption…”

The Foundation Establishment cultivator had a vacant look in his eyes, offering no resistance, merely staring blankly at the stele.

Su Ping knew this guy was beyond help.

At the same time, realizing that he must’ve been the Foundation Establishment cultivator from the tower ship, Su Ping felt a chill inside, thinking that the great terror within this secret realm could now affect the sea area around the island?

Su Ping skillfully searched this cultivator for any storage bags he wouldn’t be needing anymore and put them on himself.

Then he applied the Flame of Purification to prevent this unfortunate cultivator’s Divine Soul from being exploited by an Evil Spirit after death.

After completing these actions, Su Ping turned his attention toward the distant grave.

The black mist released from the grave seemed to have a physical presence, continuously emerging from its location and lingering in the air for a long time without dispersing.

After some thought, Su Ping couldn’t suppress his curiosity and had the Fire Knight approach.

The grave was undoubtedly fraught with danger,

But great terror might also herald great opportunities.

He, who could not die, had nothing to fear even from death itself, did he?

Some seconds later,

The Fire Knight’s two-handed greatsword pushed open the main gate of the grave’s ground building.

Here, Su Ping saw no sarcophagus but what seemed like a large Altar.

The four walls were carved with numerous colored murals,

Seemingly telling a story.

Thousands of years ago, a gigantic black egg fell from the heavens and was discovered by the ancestors of the North Dipper Seven Stars Sect and brought back to their sect’s secret realm.
