The Journey of Projection Upgrading
Chapter 203: Saint's Secret Realm

"When we meet again, she should have more than just this level of cultivation."

Chen An turned to look into the distance, recalling Liu Roujun's appearance, and couldn't help but have this thought.

He could somewhat guess Liu Roujun's thoughts, and also understand her incomprehension.

But like he always said, if Chen An wasn't extraordinary, he would have made the same choice as Liu Roujun, instead of what he was doing now.

Since that's the case, what's so hard to understand?

Chen An smiled and walked back to his residence.

The following time was peaceful.

Chen An steadily practiced alchemy, living his life step by step.

Originally, he didn't plan to stay in Haoshan Sect for long, just using it as a stepping stone.

But because he was engrossed in alchemy, he changed his mind and decided to stay a bit longer.

The medicine hall in Haoshan Sect had a complete inheritance of alchemy, with many alchemists and abundant alchemical knowledge.

If he left this place, Chen An didn't know when he would find a similar place.

So it's better to stay here.

He followed his own pace and was now ready to try learning some other alchemy techniques.

Selling Clear Mind Pills was good, but it was getting a bit monotonous.

Boom!

The sky and earth trembled, the land began to boil.

The spiritual energy in all directions surged and roared, as if a great storm was erupting, releasing its power as if to destroy everything in this world.

A terrifying force rose from afar, as if to extinguish the stars, suppressing everything around.

The sun and moon lost their color, the sky dimmed, even using all the words in Chen An's mind couldn't describe the terror of this scene.

Before this, he was somewhat confident about his strength and felt there were few rivals in Haoshan Sect.

But in the face of this suddenly erupting terrifying force, his innate strength in martial arts seemed insignificant.

Just like an ant.

"What is that?"

Chen An stood inside Haoshan Sect and clearly saw the eruption outside.

Outside Haoshan Sect, the tide of spiritual energy had already become chaotic to a certain extent, with terrifying power constantly erupting and disrupting the external spiritual energy.

Even with the protection of the mountain-guarding array, the entire environment of Haoshan Sect was still affected, with large areas falling into chaos.

This was just the aftermath, and it was already so terrifying.

It wasn't clear what the source of this scene was.

Bang! Bang!

Sounds of rumbling came from a distance.

Chen An looked up and saw the sound coming from the main gate of Haoshan Sect.

The bell that was ringing at the moment came from that direction.

"It's the bell to summon the elders of the sect."

Chen An thought to himself, "What major event has happened?"

The bell of Haoshan Sect rarely rang, and once it did, it meant that the sect leader had summoned the elders to discuss matters.

At this critical moment, it was probably because of the situation outside, right?

It's just not clear what the reason is.

Chen An looked at the outside and his eyes were full of curiosity.

Although that scene just now was only a momentary thing, it still had a great impact on Chen An.

The immense power that seemed to destroy the heavens and the earth was too terrifying, leaving a deep impression on him.

Chen An couldn't help but wonder what kind of existence could possess such terrifying power.

It was certain that it exceeded the Golden Core stage, but the only question was by how much.

The answer to the question didn't take long to arrive.

Haoshan Sect soon announced the news.

In the Sichuan Region, there was a sacred site where the remnants of the divine power of a sage had erupted earlier, causing the scene just now.

Now the elders of Haoshan Sect had made a decision to go to the site together to try to obtain the legacy of the sage.

After hearing the news, Chen An was stunned.

It turned out to be a remnant left by a sage.

The so-called sage, also known as the ancient sage, held a lofty position and occupied the pinnacle in the cultivation world.

According to legend, no one could deceive the ancient sage, even the Emperor had to be respectful and dare not show any disrespect.

The power of the sage was probably not much lower than that of the Emperor.

And the legacy left by such an existence could be imagined in value.

Just thinking about it made it clear how precious it was.

"I just don't know which sage left this."

Chen An thought to himself, feeling a sense of yearning at this moment.

Every sage was the pinnacle of cultivation, a figure engraved in the history of cultivation, and certainly not an unknown person.

If the sage in front of him was born in the mortal realm, there must be traces left behind, and perhaps his identity and origin could be judged from some things in the legacy.

Chen An thought so, but also felt a little regret.

What a pity.

This time, the remnant left by the sage was in the Sichuan Region, so it was quickly known by many sects in the region, and they had sent people one after another.

But with Chen An's status in Haoshan Sect, it was unlikely that he would be taken along in any way.

Or even in the entire Haoshan Sect, there was unlikely to be many people going over.

After all, although Haoshan Sect was a dominant force nearby, it was still not comparable to those top sanctuaries in the Sichuan Region.

They would be able to explore the outskirts of the site and it would be good if they had some gains.

Even the whole Haoshan Sect was like this, let alone Chen An.

He could only lament silently, and then put the matter behind him and continue to live his life.

The distance was good, but life had to go on eventually.

However, Chen An didn't expect that his chance would come soon.

The team sent out by Haoshan Sect quickly returned, and soon issued an order.

Within the sect, all practitioners below the age of thirty were summoned, and they were to go together to the sage's secret realm.

The opportunity had arrived.

In Haoshan Sect, Chen An was not considered old, only nineteen years old.

Although his cultivation was low, it happened that he had just opened the Purple Mansion, meeting the conditions for this journey to the secret realm.

Chen An walked away looking confused.

It was only after inquiring carefully that he learned that the sage's remnant left several secret realms in the secret realm, which were still intact to this day.

These remnants were presumably left by the sage for the younger generations, and they were filled with spiritual energy, as if they were still in the peak of the ancient world, with various precious materials abundant.

The only drawback was that the sage had left restrictions inside, limiting the conditions for entry.

To enter, one must be under thirty years old and have already opened the Purple Mansion.

This condition immediately eliminated a large group of people.

It was easy to find practitioners who opened the Purple Mansion, but to be both under thirty and have the Purple Mansion opened narrowed the field.

Many senior practitioners who had been practicing for years were excluded, and only those who had recently embarked on the path of cultivation were eligible.

And there weren't many such people in each sect.

So that's why the scene was like this now.

Chen An happened to meet the conditions.

Although his cultivation was low, in the past few months, he had been focusing on alchemy, but he had still opened the Purple Mansion, so he was considered a legitimate practitioner.

For Haoshan Sect, this was enough.

The secret realm left by the sage was obviously prepared for young practitioners, and had nothing to do with old people like them.

This opportunity was rare, so every eligible practitioner in Haoshan Sect was taken away, even if they didn't want to go.

Of course, there were probably not many people who refused to enter the secret realm.

After all, no matter how you put it, this was a rare opportunity.

No one could enter even if they wanted to, so who would refuse such an opportunity.

Chen An left Haoshan Sect.

This was his first time leaving the place, and the journey along the way was somewhat novel to him.

This time, he didn't leave by carriage, but directly through the teleportation formation.

It seemed to be a benefit given by the major sanctuaries in the Sichuan Region, allowing practitioners from small sects to enjoy the same treatment as the big practitioners.

Outside a desolate area.

Chen An stood in a crowd, quietly waiting in line.

"Each of you will have about three months to stay inside. After three months, no matter what you are doing inside, you will be expelled by the residual power of the sage in the secret realm."

Someone in front of the crowd was explaining, "I don't care what you find inside, it's your own opportunity, and after you come out, you must hand over half of the things you find, understand?"

The crowd fell silent for a moment.

It wasn't until a while later that someone spoke, "What about scriptures and techniques, do we also split them in half?"

"If it's scriptures and techniques, there will be a specialist responsible for transcribing them, and you will definitely not miss out."

The person in front coldly said, "Don't worry, my Taiyin Sect is not so greedy for your things."

It seemed that the reputation of Taiyin Sect had some influence, and people around fell silent.

Sichuan Region was one of the five domains in the mortal world, with many cultivation sects.

But Taiyin Sect was also considered top tier among the various immortal sects, at least it was much stronger than sects like Haoshan Sect.

The two were simply not in the same league in terms of strength.

After explaining some things, the crowd began to move forward slowly.

Chen An looked at the crowd around him, feeling a bit dazzled.

He wondered why top sects like Taiyin Sect would be so kind as to specifically allow small sect practitioners like them to enter and share the treasures inside.

It turned out that each person could only stay inside for three months.

Thinking about it, it was not surprising.

Top sects like Taiyin Sect would have already sent their eligible practitioners inside to explore and plunder everything in there.

Only when the disciples inside the sects could no longer stay in there, did they target small sect practitioners like Chen An.

After all, no matter what, they controlled the entrance to the secret realm, so they wouldn't lose out.

Once Chen An understood this, things became simple.

He also slightly let go of his worries and followed the crowd inside.

According to the information he had gathered, although the Secret Realm was vast and the environment was similar to the ancient times, it was not too dangerous.

It should be safe.
