Huangfu Jue was a true descendant of the Huangfu bloodline. He had long since become one of the Eternal Star Sons and had joined the Treasure item secret realm to cultivate.
Seeing Su Fang act so courteously, he continued to lead Su Fang deeper into the secret realm. Gradually, they reached a deathly silence.
"Elder Qiu is right. You and I are both from the Huangfu clan, and we're from the same Dao sect. Since we've come to the Treasure item secret realm, we naturally have to take care of each other."
Huangfu Jue slowly looked ahead. "The Treasure Refining Secret Realm is an incomparably mystical place within the inner Dao sects. It can be said that most of the sect's treasures come from the Treasure Refining Secret Realm. There are tens of thousands of inner disciples, and some of them are famous throughout the world. The treasures they refine are very popular. My Huangfu Dao sect has quite a bit of power here. As a newcomer, it'll be difficult for you to survive here without someone to take care of you."
"Junior apprentice-brother will listen to senior apprentice-brother in the future," said Su Fang honestly. He didn't have much of an opinion.
He had some hope. He had thought that the disciples of the Huangfu Dao sect who cultivated in the Treasure Refining Secret Realm would all be geniuses like Chi Yanzi.
But this Huangfu Jue only gave him the feeling that he was an expert. He wasn't as strong as Chi Yanzi. Huangfu Jue lacked that domineering aura.
If he was an expert, perhaps he really would be of some help to him.
Furthermore, he also knew that alchemy and weapon forging were extremely difficult to master. Only one out of a thousand people could become a Grandmaster Alchemist.
All of these required talent and hard work. Neither of them could be lacking.
Huangfu Jue brought Su Fang deeper into the nine Dao sects. The clouds in the distance parted, and Huangfu Jue continued, "Cultivating in the inner Dao sects isn't as easy as cultivating in the outer Dao sects. Disciples of the Treasure item secret realm have to refine a treasure within a certain amount of time. Even if it's a substandard one, we still have to refine it. We often go out to find all kinds of materials, and we also go to the Grand Immortal Realms to participate in all kinds of Treasure Appraisal Conventions."
"Senior Brother Jue is definitely not an ordinary disciple in the Treasure Realm."
"Of course. I'm an elite disciple after all. However, I'm still far from being a truly powerful figure. Almost all of the disciples in the Treasure Refining Secret Territory are male. There are also some female disciples. Most of the geniuses are male disciples. They have cultivated for tens of thousands of years or even hundreds of thousands of years. They're so powerful that they can already refine magic treasures for themselves.
"Senior Brother, did you say that the Treasured Artifact Secret Realm has tens of thousands of disciples?"
"Yes, there are a lot of people. Up ahead is the Void Realm of the inner dojo. After passing through the Void Realm that looks like a dead ruin, you'll reach the inner dojo. There isn't much scenery there, it's all ruins of the ancient times. The inner dojo is built in the depths of these ruins within countless formations."
"Oh."
Following Huangfu Jue's guidance, there were indeed no mountains or rivers in front of them. It was as if they had left the Constellation of Nine Heavens Dojo and returned to the void of the natural ruins.
Once they entered this void, there was an astonishing power of void shackles. It felt like this was to prevent external disciples from entering the inner world.
If it weren't for Huangfu Jue, Su Fang wouldn't have been able to cross this void realm.
Fortunately, with Huangfu Jue's reminder, he immediately activated the token at his waist. He didn't expect the token to emit a protective power that prevented him from being shackled. Moreover, there was a guiding force in the depths of the void ahead. It was probably the location of the Treasure Realm.
Just as he expected, in a short while, they entered the depths of the void realm. It seemed that they were far away from the dojo, but a void distortion suddenly swept over and sucked Su Fang and Huangfu Jue into the distorted formation.
Swoosh!
In an instant, Su Fang felt that his breathing and shackles had returned to normal. The formation in front of him was jumping, as if he had returned to reality from an illusion.
Taking a closer look, there was no forest around. There were mountains, but there was no sign of life in the mountains. The bare rocks stood tall in the cold void.
This was the void ruins outside the dojo, but Su Fang felt the natural shackles of the void. It seemed that this place was protected by an invisible formation.
Huangfu Jue pointed ahead, "This is the Treasure Refining Arcane Realm, built in the natural void ruins deep in the dojo. The few desolate mountains, valleys, and peaks in front of us are where tens of thousands of disciples usually refine and cultivate. Let's fly."
After the introduction, Huangfu Jue rose into the air. The two of them gradually flew toward a large desolate mountain range in front of them at a height of ten feet.
There were ruins all around. The simplicity of the vast world was presented in front of them.
Soon, in front of the mountain range, they saw valleys among the mountains, as well as peaks that stood tall on the mountain range. There was no sign of life at all, making them feel only respect for nature.
"These valleys are where everyone usually rests and meditates. Those peaks have Celestial Artifact Spirit Pools inside. That's where they refine their weapons. If you need to refine weapons, learn a lot of knowledge, and observe other disciples refining weapons, you have to go there."
Celestial Artifact Spirit Pools.
The large number of peaks that stood tall on the mountain range turned out to be places for refining weapons.
After Huangfu Jue's introduction, there was already movement in his right arm. He didn't need to sense it to know that the Primordial Violet Qi of the Treasure Refining Arcane Realm was attracting the Violet Qi Dharma Spirit.
Furthermore, the Violet Qi Dharma Spirit was constantly buzzing, but its movement was suppressed. If it wasn't, his right arm would be moving right now.
"The valley on the left is where most of the Huangfu Dojo's disciples rest. I'll take you to walk around first, and then we'll go to the Celestial Artifact Spirit Pool to see those senior apprentice-brothers."
Huangfu Jue brought Su Fang to the left. They were getting closer and closer to a valley.
Soon, it became real. In front of them was a valley with strange rocks. It didn't have the beautiful scenery of an ordinary valley. It was like a rocky valley formed by an explosion.
There were some caves on the cliffs that weren't naturally formed. Each cave was sealed by a formation, and each cave was separated by a certain distance.
Looking from here, the valley was full of caves where all kinds of disciples cultivated. It was very spectacular. Looking out of the valley, there were magnificent cultivation peaks.
Su Fang came here as if she had come to a wasteland. Looking at the ruined valley, there were cold stones and cliffs everywhere. It really didn't look like a dojo.
The only thing that was gratifying was that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was several times that of the Huangfu Dojo. It was an excellent place for cultivation.
Luo suddenly said, "From here, we can see that the Constellation of Nine Heavens is worthy of being called a big force. Often, the cultivation dojos of real forces have harsh conditions and are close to the most real nature. This way, the disciples can really come into contact with heaven and earth and cultivate the power of heaven and earth."
"Fortunately, I've stepped into the Cave Immortal Realm. I don't think any of the disciples here are Cave Immortals. In such an environment, fortunately, I can quickly adapt with the Cave Immortal Realm." After chatting with Luo, he followed Huangfu Jue and flew through the valley.
There were caves sealed by formations on both sides. No disciples were wandering outside. From time to time, a few disciples would fly down from the surrounding mountains and enter the surrounding caves. No one talked to Huangfu Jue.
"Look, almost all of the caves in the valley are disciples of our Huangfu Dojo who have successfully become the Eternal Star Son and stepped into the Treasure Secret Realm. They have been here for at least ten thousand years. Almost all of them have been here for ten thousand to fifty thousand years. Once they become strong, they can freely open up caves in the surrounding ruins. Disciples like us still have to continue cultivating here."
"I'll take you to see them."
With a wave of her hand, Huangfu Jue brought Su Fang to the cliff on the right.
When they arrived at a cave, they first activated their aura.
The immortal formation seal at the entrance of the cave was still there, but a primordial spirit figure appeared at the entrance of the formation. Even when it met Huangfu Jue, it glanced coldly at Su Fang without any enthusiasm.
Then, Huangfu Jue met most of the disciples. Some of them were Sky Immortals, some of them surpassed Sky Immortals, and a few of them were existences whose cultivation could not be sensed.
Su Fang was at least several realms away from the disciples who stood at the peak of this place. Moreover, it was very difficult to break through the realms after entering the Cave Immortal realm. Therefore, when these disciples saw that Su Fang was a Cave Immortal, their expressions all became smug.
Fortunately, these disciples were recorded in the rune talisman that Qiu Ranzheng had given them. Su Fang could remember all of them with just a glance.
At this time, Huangfu Jue brought Su Fang out of the mountain and flew to the mountain behind the valley.
According to her, every disciple who entered the Treasure Secret Realm had to go to a mountain and enter the Heaven Artifact Spiritual Pool to cultivate. There would be several senior brothers in charge of cultivation there.
Su Fang was going to the nearest mountain to report.
Of course, not all the disciples on this mountain were disciples of Huangfu Dao Sect. The disciples of Huangfu Dao Sect were scattered in eight different mountains to cultivate. There was a clear rule that forbade any disciple to cultivate on the same mountain. This was probably to measure the relationship between the nine Dao Sects.
As he approached the mountain, the Purple Qi Dharma Spirit in his right arm trembled and was about to be peeled off from the merged meridians in his arm.
Great Pregnant Purple Qi.
Because in the mountain, the Heaven Artifact Spiritual Pool contained the world's most wonderful Great Pregnant Purple Qi, and no one knew how much Great Pregnant Purple Qi there was.
Stopping breathing, Su Fang looked at the mountain in front of him. It was a thousand feet high, like an oval-shaped stone pillar, standing abruptly in the mountain range.
Su Fang felt that this mountain and the surrounding mountains did not seem to be natural, but man-made.
After asking Huangfu Jue, he found out that it was as he had expected. Aside from the valleys and mountain ranges, all the other peaks in this Treasure Tool Secret Realm were created by the true big shots of the sect using great magic.
It was truly uncanny craftsmanship. To be able to create such a realistic, tall, and mysterious mountain in the void ruins, Su Fang also possessed the divine might of the earth attribute, but he was unable to accomplish even a ten-thousandth of it.
He estimated that if he wanted to truly see through this mountain, he would need to break through several realms.
"Extreme Celestial Pool Peak."
After going a bit further, he arrived in front of a simple stone gate. Su Fang saw the words Extreme Celestial Pool Peak carved into the gate. It contained a powerful force that made him feel like he would faint just by looking at it.
At this time, a disciple appeared at the gate. He seemed to be in charge of guarding the gate. As soon as he saw Huangfu Jue and then looked at Su Fang, he said with surprise, "Junior-apprentice brother Jue, the Aeon Competition still hasn't concluded, right? How did a disciple suddenly become the Eternal Star Son, and he came from Huangfu's Dao Rite?"
Before replying, Jue told Su Fang that this person was called Huangfu Liao. He was in charge of guarding the gate for a thousand years. He could be considered an ordinary disciple here, but he was an old figure who had been here for sixty thousand years.
Sixty thousand years.
Su Fang secretly sized up this Huangfu Liao. He looked to be in his forties, which would be middle-aged among mortals. But he didn't look dispirited at all. Instead, he was hale and hearty. He gave off the feeling that Su Fang didn't have Chi Yanzi's domineering aura.
Huangfu Jue walked in front of Huangfu Liao and introduced, "Senior-apprentice brother Huang, this is my Dao Rite's Huangfu Shaoying. The Aeon Competition has changed its format this time. My junior-apprentice brother surpassed everyone else and became the Eternal Star Son first. He obtained Elder Luan's permission to enter my Treasure Secret Realm to cultivate. Please look after him."
