Along the way, the Barbarian Ghost Sect Leader, the middle-aged Spirit Master, and Elder Huang continuously discussed matters related to the secret realm.
Liu Ming and the other ten disciples were scattered around the bone boat, adjusting their breathing and cultivating. They did not have any intention of talking with each other.
Thinking about it, this was a very normal matter!
Those who were able to kill their way into the top ten core disciples were naturally proud and arrogant. They simply did not want to form a group.
However, as long as Liu Ming turned his head slightly, he would be able to see Gao Chong, who was sitting cross-legged in the distance, looking at him with a cold gaze.
Seeing this situation, Liu Ming's expression did not change in the slightest. However, a trace of killing intent could not help but surface in his heart.
If there was a chance to silently get rid of this trouble in the secret realm, he would definitely not be courteous.
This bone boat was clearly a Flying Totem that was not a low level one. It seemed to be even faster than the Flying Jade Spirit Boat that Liu Ming had sat on before.
As it flew, the surging black gas continuously pushed it forward, allowing it to travel a distance of over a thousand feet in a flash.
Seven days later, the bone boat carried them to the sky above the lake. However, after flying for a long distance, the location of the Suppressing Dragon Island had long since disappeared without a trace. In its place was a greyish white volcano that emerged from the bottom of the lake.
This volcano was only over a thousand feet high above the lake. From the mouth of the volcano, black and red smoke continuously emitted from it. It looked like it could still spit out lava at any time.
On the surface of the lake near the mouth of the volcano, a few floating reefs of various sizes were formed from the volcanic ash. The small ones were not more than ten feet wide while the large ones were over a thousand feet wide. They were like small islands.
On top of a few of the largest floating reefs, a few simple stone halls were built. There were also a few people moving around on top of them.
Following a resounding boom, the bone ark also found a floating reef to descend upon.
The Barbarian Ghost Sect Leader brought Liu Ming and the others down from the bone boat.
"Fellow Barbarian Ghost Sect, you have come late. The disciples from the Heavenly Moon Sect, the Hall of Blood and our Nine Enlightenment Mountain have all arrived. Only the people from the Firestorm Way have not arrived yet. " A burst of azure Qi flew up from a nearby giant floating reef, and after a few flashes, it arrived above the floating reef where Liu Ming and the others were. Then, a handsome azure-robed man appeared, and he spoke with a faint smile on his face.
"So it is Fellow Zhao Hei Hu of the Nine Enlightenment Mountain. We are not like your Nine Enlightenment Mountain, which is not far from here. Naturally, it took us some time to get here. As for the Heavenly Moon Sect and the Hall of Blood, since the secret realm was discovered by them first, it is natural that they arrived earlier than us. "The Barbarian Ghost Sect Leader sized up the green-robed male in the air before nodding his head and speaking.
"That's true. In fact, our disciples only arrived a day earlier than your esteemed sect. Because of this, our Senior Brother Sect Master would like to invite you over to discuss the matter of the mystic realm, "Zhao Heihu said meaningfully.
"Understood! Wait for me to make some arrangements for the disciples, then I will bring my two juniors to pay a visit to your Sect Master. " The Barbarian Ghost Sect Leader naturally understood the meaning behind Zhao Heihu's words and immediately agreed without batting an eyelid.
Hearing this, Zhao Heihu was overjoyed. After saying a few more polite words, he turned into an azure Qi and flew back to the original floating reef.
At this time, the Barbarian Ghost Sect Leader had Liu Ming and the others begin to build a stone hall. He also had Martial Uncle Zhang and Elder Huang set up a few simple restrictions near the floating reef.
After the time it took to eat a meal, everything was completed. Only then did the Barbarian Ghost Sect Leader instruct the disciples and bring the two Spirit Masters to fly towards the floating reef where the Nine Enlightenment Mountain was.
Most of the disciples entered the newly built building to meditate, while a small portion walked around the floating reef, looking around from time to time.
Liu Ming also sat cross-legged in a corner of the stone hall.
The Barbarian Ghost Sect Leader and the others left for half a day. When they flew back from the Nine Enlightenment Mountain, they were surrounded by a grey-robed old man with a triangular hairstyle.
This old man's facial features were ordinary, but his hands were abnormally thick. A light green leather bag hung from his waist and his aura was extraordinary. After entering the stone hall with the Barbarian Ghost Sect Leader, he immediately sat on the stone chair in the center without any trace of politeness.
After the Barbarian Ghost Sect Leader gave the order, all the disciples immediately gathered in the stone hall.
"You are all quite lucky to be able to see Martial Uncle Yan's true appearance today. Quickly come and pay your respects! Martial Uncle has just returned from the entrance of the secret realm and has some things to tell you. "The Barbarian Ghost Sect Leader said to the crowd without hesitation.
Hearing this, although Yang Gan and the others had already guessed it, they still couldn't help but be shocked. They all paid their respects to the grey-robed old man.
"Rise. You are considered the most outstanding disciples of our Barbarian Ghost Sect. Originally, we should have trained you for a year before letting you participate in the Life and Death Trials. However, we didn't expect the matter of the secret realm to occur, so we had no choice but to come. However, I heard from Martial Nephew Sect Leader that the strength of your group of disciples far surpasses the top ten of the previous Large Competitions. This way, I can be more at ease. "The grey-robed old man looked at Liu Ming and the other disciples and nodded with a satisfied expression.
"Martial Uncle, these ten are definitely the most outstanding disciples of our sect in the last sixty years. Coincidentally encountering the matter of the secret realm may be an opportunity for our sect to rise." The Barbarian Ghost Sect Leader stood next to the old man and replied with a smile.
"I hope so. Those old fellows and I have already used a secret technique to roughly explore this secret realm. Our initial judgment is that it is a very rare natural secret realm. There shouldn't be any restrictions inside, so the danger has decreased by more than half. Otherwise, I wouldn't have rashly agreed to use the secret realm as the Life and Death Trials. Of course, even a natural secret realm has a certain amount of risk. What you need to do is to crazily search for all kinds of rare resources in the secret realm. Moreover, you don't need to use any methods or methods! Because the benefits involved this time are too great, the Heavenly Moon Sect and the Hall of Blood have already secretly formed an alliance. In order to deal with this matter, our sect and the Nine Enlightenment Mountain have also just discussed an alliance. Of course, an alliance is an alliance. If we really encounter something good, we will naturally do what we have to do. There is no need to care about which sect the opponent is from. If something really happens, everything will be decided by me. "Martial Ancestor Yan said in a domineering manner.
"Natural Secret Realm!"
"This is really too great!"
"An alliance with the Nine Enlightenment Mountain?"
… …
Astonishment, shock, excitement, and other different expressions appeared on the faces of all the disciples. They all had an expression of great surprise.
Martial Ancestor Yan turned a blind eye to all of this and continued to speak:
"However, you all shouldn't lower your guard too much. A natural secret realm can also encounter unimaginable dangers. For example, there may be demonic beasts inside the secret realm or the environment inside is extremely vile. It is simply impossible for normal people to survive. "The Barbarian Ghost Sect Leader reminded them.
This caused the hearts of all the disciples to shiver once again when they heard this.
"All of this is secondary. The most important thing is still the Scarlet Dragon that desperately escaped into the secret realm!" Martial Ancestor Yan said something that caused everyone to jump in fright.
"What?! That flood dragon also fled into this secret realm? Martial Uncle, you aren't joking right? Then wouldn't the disciples of the various sects enter the secret realm like sheep entering a tiger's den? "This time, Martial Uncle Zhang's expression changed greatly as he hastily asked.
"Hmph, do you think that Martial Uncle would throw flowers around and joke about this kind of matter? However, you all don't need to worry. That Scarlet Dragon has already been severely injured. Even if it can escape into the secret realm, it should be on the verge of death right now and shouldn't have any strength to retaliate. It's a pity that when the demonic dragon escaped into the secret realm, it used the last of its strength to destroy the entrance, making it impossible for Spirit Masters and above to enter. Otherwise, there would be no need for you little fellows to make a move. Us old fellows would be able to sweep away all the resources inside and conveniently kill this evil dragon. Actually, speaking of which, this Scarlet Dragon should be the most precious treasure in the secret realm. "Martial Ancestor Yan snorted as he spoke.
"How could Martial Nephew dare to think like this. Martial Uncle, please don't blame me!" Martial Uncle Zhang remembered that his Martial Uncle Yan always cared about his face the most. His heart immediately skipped a beat as he hastily smiled apologetically.
"However, it's fortunate that it's like this. Otherwise, the two seniors from the Heavenly Moon Sect and the Hall of Blood would have probably monopolized this secret realm and wouldn't have notified our three sects. Martial Uncle, this is actually a good thing. "Old Man Huang said with a face full of smiles.
"Speaking of which, there is a reason. However, it seems that the ruins of the Suppressing Dragon Master on Suppressing Dragon Island were first discovered by our sect and the Nine Enchantment Sect. Truly useless. We clearly found this place first, but we let the people from the Heavenly Moon Sect and the Hall of Blood discover the entrance to the secret realm first. "The grey robed old man rolled his eyes again.
"Junior Zhu also didn't think that there would be an entrance to the secret realm hidden within the Earth Fire. Moreover, at that time, the evil dragon had just been born and they didn't even have time to hide. How would they have the time to carefully search the surroundings?" The Barbarian Ghost Sect Leader explained.
"No matter how you say it, Zhu Chi and Zhong girl were wrong to let the other Sect's people seize the opportunity first. After this matter is over, I will naturally reprimand them. "Martial Ancestor Yan said with his eyes still wide open.
This kind of overbearing words caused Liu Ming and the others to be dumbstruck. The Barbarian Ghost Sect Leader and the other two Spirit Masters could only look at each other and smile bitterly.
Fortunately, they all knew that this Martial Uncle of theirs was someone who spoke harshly but was soft-hearted. Otherwise, they would really be a bit worried for Zhu Chi and Zhong Yue.
"That's right, Martial Uncle Yan, how is the entrance to the secret realm? How long can it hold out for?" The Barbarian Ghost Sect Leader asked with some concern.
"The entrance's situation isn't too good. That Demonic Dragon clearly knows the weakness of the entrance and may have even entered and exited it more than once. Therefore, that attack caused the entrance to basically collapse. It's relying on us old fellows taking turns to use treasures to barely maintain stability. However, this kind of situation can only be maintained for a month at most. If we also include the tremors caused by the various sects' disciples entering and exiting, it should only be half a month. "Martial Ancestor Yan finally replied with a serious expression.
