Chapter 253: Chapter 253: The Situation Changes (3)_1

Dugu Qianye tamed them all, allowed the Mo Family to contract them, and then assisted them in their transformation before finally letting the Mo Family go out for experience.

Last time, Bai Xinyan mentioned that various Commandery Princesses were called to discuss the ownership issue of the Transmission Array. Dugu Qianye didn’t attend. She didn’t know how Shi Honggui resolved the problem, but in any case, the Transmission Array still belonged to the Spiritual Master Association. The Beast Trainer Guild had suffered several setbacks here, and she presumed they would find a way to deal with her in the upcoming Spirit Void Secret Realm.

"Junior sister." Fen Qingran came to Dugu Qianye’s courtyard and saw her busily working on something inside.

"What’s the matter?" Dugu Qianye, seeing Fen Qingran’s hurried appearance, asked.

"The Master wants you to come over; it seems something has happened," Fen Qingran said.

It must have been something significant, or else the Master’s complexion wouldn’t have looked so terrible. But when the Master came back, he said nothing and just sent someone to call Dugu Qianye over.

Dugu Qianye, noticing the serious expression on Fen Qingran’s face, put away the Transmission Stone she was creating and said, "Let’s go."

Fen Qingran and Dugu Qianye arrived at Shi Honggui’s courtyard and saw him and several fellow apprentices there, all wearing very grave expressions, which made her heart skip a beat.

"Master," Dugu Qianye greeted Shi Honggui with a bow upon entering.

"Qianye, have a seat," said Shi Honggui.

Dugu Qianye and Fen Qingran each found a spot to sit down. Sensing the atmosphere was amiss, Dugu Qianye asked, "Master, has something happened?"

"Well, sigh..." Shi Honggui sighed and said, "I just came back from the City Lord’s Mansion. The Phoenix City Lord mentioned that based on the Commandery Princesses’ investigations, there appears to be a problem with the Spirit Void Secret Realm this year. There’s now a limit on the number of people who can enter, unlike the unrestricted access we had before."

"What happened? How could there be a problem with the Spirit Void Secret Realm?" Hao Pengyou asked.

"It’s unclear what the reason is. The Phoenix City Lord said she doesn’t know either," Shi Honggui replied. "Originally I had arranged with Elder Lian for you to enter with the Alchemist Guild’s members for mutual support. But now the allocated number of slots for the Alchemist Guild is only eight, which isn’t even half of those eligible. So I’m considering whether you should give up the chance to enter the Spirit Void Secret Realm."

"Master?!" Dugu Qianye was caught off guard by Shi Honggui’s statement and was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Alas," Shi Honggui breathed another sigh and continued, "The Spirit Void Secret Realm isn’t as wonderful as outsiders believe. Although it’s brimming with rare treasures and numerous opportunities, it’s equally filled with many dangers. Every time the Spirit Void Secret Realm appears, the number of people who come out is less than half of those who went in. Moreover, with each occurrence, the inside changes completely, rendering the experiences of previous explorers useless. My initial hope was for you to join the Alchemist Guild and Artifact Refiners Guild, but since their numbers have been sharply reduced, their strength has likewise dwindled. So..."

"So if I were to go in, the danger would be even greater," Dugu Qianye interjected.

Shi Honggui nodded. From a personal standpoint, he was reluctant to let Dugu Qianye enter the Spirit Void Secret Realm. Even if no one from the Spiritual Master Association was going in this year and even if the association might decline further, he still prioritized Dugu Qianye’s safety above all else. Especially because no one understood the reason for this situation in the Spirit Void Secret Realm; no one knew what it would be like inside!

"Master, I know you are worried about me, but I must go in," Dugu Qianye said.

"Alas, I knew you wouldn’t give up," Shi Honggui said.

"Master, since there are limited spots, what will those families do?" Dugu Qianye asked.

"Right now, all the commanderies are preparing for family competitions. They’re having all those who meet the criteria compete, then it will be commandery against commandery, and in the end, only a hundred people will be chosen to enter the Secret Realm," Shi Honggui explained.

"It would be great if we could go in together. If any danger arises, I could take the lead and protect junior sister," Hao Pengyou said, causing the others to sigh as well.

As Shi Honggui had said, with half a year left before the opening of the Spirit Void Secret Realm, the selection competitions in each commandery had begun in full swing. Dugu Qianye didn’t go to watch the competitions but still kept up with the news from time to time. Pei Shaonan frequently updated her about who advanced, who might be potential temporary teammates if they entered the Spirit Void Secret Realm, and so on.

Dugu Qianye smiled. Teammates aren’t developed temporarily—a true teammate is someone you can trust to have your back, someone who can fight shoulder to shoulder with you! And her only true comrade-in-arms was Baili Ruyan at the moment! Yet she didn’t even know if Ruyan had come to this world or where she might be!

The situation had changed and was unclear, forcing Dugu Qianye to make more preparations. Fortunately, everyone from the Mo Family had come out of seclusion, and Dudu had converted all the Phantom Qi in the Refining Demon Pot into Spiritual Energy, enabling her to practice inside the pot. This super cheat would have to be used when things got critical, right?

"Zeng, zeng, zeng."

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Inside the Refining Demon Pot, Dugu Qianye played the Charm, her sound waves shattering all the rocks around her, causing bursts of explosions. When the tune ended, not a single large rock was left around her.

"Master, your Sound Attack has improved again!" Dudu appeared in front of Dugu Qianye and said, looking at the disarray around them.

"This Sound Attack is indeed formidable. Just using this Holy Artifact can produce such power— I wonder what the effect would be with the Fuxiqin," Dugu Qianye mused.

"Master, you’ve already formed your Domain, and your Sound Attack is so powerful, when are you going to leave seclusion?" Xiaohuo flew over and landed next to Dugu Qianye to ask.

Dugu Qianye put away the Charm, stood up, looked at Xiaohuo, and said, "You’re bored again, aren’t you?! Let’s go out. Let’s find out how the selection competition is going, and see if grandpa and the others have returned."

After Dugu Qianye finished speaking, she and Xiaohuo left the Refining Demon Pot. After exiting, she went to find Shi Honggui to learn about the latest on the selection competition and found out that all the competitions had ended and the hundred slots had been decided. Together with eight people each from the Alchemist Guild, Refiners Guild, Beast Trainer Guild, and Mercenary Guild, plus Dugu Qianye, a total of 133 people would enter the Spirit Void Secret Realm this year.

"If you hadn’t come out, I would have had to call you. The Spirit Void Secret Realm will appear in half a month, and this year’s entrance is near Longhua City, so everyone is heading there now to wait," Shi Honggui said.

Uh, Longhua City...

Dugu Qianye then made contact with Mo Zhenting and the others. Two days later, they all returned to Mushroom City, but didn’t enter the city. Dugu Qianye went out to meet them and took them into the Refining Demon Pot, planning to head to the Spirit Void Secret Realm with them when the time came.

Since the location was Longhua City, where the Beast Tamer Guild’s headquarters were, Dugu Qianye didn’t want to go too early. Later, Shi Honggui, fearing last-minute issues, had Hao Pengyou and the others accompany her to Longhua City.
