Chapter 233: Chapter 228: Every Day Without My Senior Brother, I Miss Him!

"Why has the Purple Cloud Sect lifted its prohibition so early this time?"

He Zhiqing, who had just stepped out of that eerie town, stowed away his divination compass and longsword, his face showing signs of fatigue. Yu Gejing by his side was too tired to even speak.

Initially, based on their deductions, the harvest from this town was definitely richer than those of average First-Grade Sects, and the divination also indicated that the town’s harvest would complement the Complete Heaven Sect.

Considering it was just the two of them, He Zhiqing and Yu Gejing, emboldened by their skills, decided to take a risk, assuming they would make it out before the commencement of activities at the Purple Cloud Palace.

Unexpectedly, it was not they who encountered mishaps, but the Purple Cloud Palace itself, whose prohibitions were activated ahead of schedule.

A brilliant, dizzying light of pale purple brilliance spread from the Purple Cloud Palace, enveloping the entire Secret Realm at an inconceivable speed.

Anyone who looked up at this light knew that the Purple Cloud Palace had opened.

Left with no other choice, He Zhiqing and Yu Gejing could no longer afford to leisurely unravel the town’s secrets bit by bit and had to opt for a relatively more forceful approach. Fortunately, a very important legacy for their Complete Heaven Sect was safely secured in their hands, making this trip worthwhile.

"Should we head straight there, or rest a while first?" Yu Gejing gently swept her long hair beside her ear, her pale green dress fluttering softly in the breeze, while the town behind them returned to its lifeless state after their departure.

He Zhiqing, behind her, initially wanted to head straight there, thinking that being early could provide them some advantages.

However, upon seeing the scar on Yu Gejing’s cheek, and recalling the principles his good brother taught him, the words at his lips suddenly changed:

"No rush, let’s rest first and treat your injuries. Legacy or not, it doesn’t really matter since the Purple Cloud Palace’s legacy isn’t compatible with us."

Yu Gejing, not hearing the response she anticipated but rather an unexpected one, turned back in surprise to gaze at the familiar handsome man. Had this blockhead finally seen the light?

He Zhiqing simply lowered his head to rest and heal, not making eye contact with Yu Gejing. Is showing concern really that odd?

"Idiot." Yu Gejing smiled, her laughter like a spring breeze sweeping across the land, bringing her more joy than even a victorious battle or treasures could.

Elsewhere in the Secret Realm, those familiar with it were also puzzled by this sudden and bizarre change at the Purple Cloud Palace, which disrupted their plans.

Some abandoned their current objectives and turned towards the ruins of Purple Cloud Palace, while others, like He Zhiqing, decided to pay the price to secure their immediate legacies first.

After all, there were too many influential figures aiming to enter the Purple Cloud Palace. If not getting a piece of meat was one thing, they might not even get a sip of soup.

In a secluded cave in a deserted mountain not far from the Purple Cloud Palace.

Luminous pearls emitted a soft glow, and a young man in a yellow robe, clutching a talisman, looked doubtfully at the skeletal remains seated before him, which held only a Cultivation Technique and an exceptional-looking token in its center.

"What is this?"

The young man was Jing Guangji from the True Golden Lotus Sect of a First-Grade Sect, also a promising young Cultivator who had just entered the Fifth Realm.

This cave was discovered by a disciple from his sect during their last visit to the Secret Realm. However, back then, the Prohibition of the Secret Realm was solid, and the disciple from his sect did not possess the means to break it, so the location was recorded and reported back to the sect.

He estimated that the cave’s Prohibition was almost as powerful as the Mountain Protection Arrays of typical First or Second-Grade Sects, suggesting that valuable treasures were hidden within.

This time, with the support of his sect, Jing Guangji came prepared. He rushed to find this cave as soon as he entered the Secret Realm and exerted great effort to break its Prohibition, only to find an old man in meditation.

Placed before the old man were only a book titled "Grand Discussion on Elixir Recipes" and a Purple Cloud Phoenix Token.

"Is this... an Elixir Recipe?" Jing Guangji picked up the weathered book and casually flipped through a few pages, his face immediately lighting up with excitement, his eyes sparkling.

By taking this item out and leaving a copy within his sect before selling the original to Medicine Valley, his True Golden Lotus Sect would not only earn a huge favor from Medicine Valley but also acquire numerous rare Spirit Pills, significantly enhancing the sect’s foundation!

He was well aware of Medicine Valley’s obsession with Elixir Recipes, Immortal Materials, and Spiritual Medicines from other epochs.

"Then this token must also be no ordinary object," Jing Guangji thought, picking up the purple-gold token with high spirits.

"This thing..."

The moment Jing Guangji picked up the token, information flowed from the token into his Sea of Consciousness, revealing the identity of the skeletal remains before him and the detailed functions of this token.

"What a great find! With this, I might just become the biggest winner in this Secret Realm!"

As Jing Guangji examined the uses of the token, his smile grew more twisted, his heart swelling with excitement.

Although he had always been called a genius, he had always been overshadowed by some, and thinking of those Super Force chiefs who were high and mighty before entering the Secret Realm, a feeling of jealousy began to spread, and an uncontrollable plan emerged in his heart.

When Su Youyi and Ke Mengzhan reached the mountain near the Purple Cloud Sect, they found that many people had already gathered outside the Mountain Gate.

The ruins of the Purple Cloud Sect looked distinctly different from those of other sects. If not observed closely, at first glance, it appeared no different from a normal Super Force.

Steep stairs leaned against the green mountain, a magnificent waterfall cascaded from the heavens.

With a rainbow piercing through the sun and flowers blooming like brocade, the essence of the ’Purple Qi Coming from the East’ enveloped the entire sect’s airspace, with even the Great Cultivator’s apparition sitting cross-legged above the clouds, inhaling and exhaling vast misty waves, with purple Qi constantly transforming—an absolute picturesque scene of an Immortal family!

Chanting resonated loudly, traveling from the mountaintop to the foot of the mountain, with the geniuses from various sects feeling refreshed after hearing just a few lines.

Just as Su Youyi was about to observe closely, a sharp and undisguised gaze shot directly towards her.

Turning her head to look back, on a mountain peak to the right of Su Youyi, the aura of the Blood Sea was intense, and a little girl whose height did not match the long spear on her back was looking at Su Youyi with a half-smiling expression.

"Is this girl the little disciple of Banished Immortal, Su Youyi?"

Seeing Su Youyi’s gaze turn towards her, Liu Rouxin’s smile grew even more arrogant. She placed her right hand horizontally at her throat and gently made a throat-slitting gesture.

"The combat fanatic of Blood Control Sect, Liu Rouxin. Apart from you and your senior brother, she has entangled and battled with all other chiefs of the Super Forces," Ke Mengzhan leaned against a pine and cypress tree and casually explained to Su Youyi as he glanced at the little girl on another mountain peak.

He too enjoyed fighting, but only with those in whom he was interested, like He Zhiqing. However, this Liu Rouxin had a perverse nature and severe violent tendencies, practically no different from a lunatic. Hearing about anyone strong, she would want to fight them, which was annoying to no end.

Su Youyi, seeing the provocation, remained unperturbed, as she truly had no interest in matters not involving her senior brother. And this little girl, she was far from being as cute as Yue Bai.

"Ah, I wish I were back by senior brother’s side, petting Yue Bai."

"Today is yet another day without senior brother by my side, another day missing him without count."

Su Youyi’s gaze was vacant as she gazed at the blue sky and white clouds, thinking indifferently.

On the other side, Liu Rouxin, seeing that Su Youyi merely glanced at her and then totally ignored her, was infuriated to the point of gnashing her teeth, just like those people who, seeing her small stature, refused to fight her.

Whether it was the senior brothers in her sect or the other chiefs, they all treated her perfunctorily.

Especially that Ke Mengzhan, who she had harassed for three days, depriving him of sleep, only then slightly provoking his anger.

But just as she was thrilled to have a hearty duel, this guy tricked her by changing the agreed location, sneaking back to the sect to catch up on sleep.

Absolutely inhuman!

While everyone else was still searching for the entrance to Purple Cloud Sect, a light rain arrived.

A girl in a dark blue Taoist robe with a beautiful visage walked slowly through the void, holding an oiled umbrella, bringing wind and rain behind her. Unlike the vitality-filled intention of spring rain, this had more of a sense of Chaos and gloom, revealing a myriad of foreboding illusions.

Pang Qingshi glanced at Su Youyi and Ke Mengzhan with her eyelids lowered, and walked slowly over to Liu Rouxin.

"Hehe, Sister Pang," Liu Rouxin seemed to have a good relationship with Pang Qingshi, and her bullish demeanor softened a bit while she was with her.

"Hmm," Pang Qingshi’s usually aloof demeanor softened somewhat as she responded with a voice like a clear spring.

However, before Liu Rouxin could say more, her expression suddenly turned displeased as she looked in another direction, and Pang Qingshi also sensed the newcomers, returning to her indifferent demeanor.

Two figures arrived side by side in the distant void, the clouds behind them light and stars brilliant, with the light of a dawn and a faint moon hanging in the heavenly vault.

"Hmph, people from Complete Heaven Sect," Liu Rouxin scorned with a cold snort, turning her head away, unwilling to bother herself further.

Instead, Pang Qingshi, having closed her umbrella, gazed intently at the two individuals, her eyes like autumn waters silently observing, yet the Chaos of myriad illusions obscured any meaning contained within.

Su Youyi’s eyes brightened, filled with joy at being able to meet Sister Yu here.

Previously, while outside the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool, it had been too busy, and although she knew of Sister Yu’s arrival, there hadn’t been a chance to greet her, only having seen her when entering the Secret Realm.

She had intended to go over and greet her, but faster than Su Youyi was Ke Mengzhan’s sword.

The sword shadow, like a full moon, its brilliance covering the sky, mercilessly chopping towards He Zhiqing.

"He Zhiqing, take my sword first!" Ke Mengzhan always transformed when he saw He Zhiqing, inexplicably excited.

"Ah, this is why I didn’t want to come."

He Zhiqing, seeing the sword Qi slashing overhead, felt slightly headache as well.

"Hurry up, little Youyi is still there." Yu Gejing waved her hand with a smile at Su Youyi, then floated back giving space to her junior brother.

He Zhiqing sighed deeply, his eyebrows lightly raised, his five fingers spread out.

The star chart illusion behind him, slightly unstable due to the sword Qi, steadied once again. Though only an illusion, under He Zhiqing’s control, it burst forth a light that rivaled real stars.

A finger pointed out, Star Fall like rain, countless streams of starlight carrying Star Spiritual Energy fell from the sky, plunging into Ke Mengzhan’s sword shadow.

Boom—

An intense explosion, as bright as the dawn at sunrise, momentarily deafened and blinded the onlookers.
