After an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived at the Quicksand Secret Realm.
Compared to the entrance to the Wind and Moon Microcosm, the entrance to the Quicksand Secret Realm was much more shabby and crude.
The entrance to the Wind and Moon Microcosm was luxurious and majestic, like a huge water mirror door with a towering boundary stele erected at the entrance.
The entrance to the Quicksand Secret Realm, on the other hand, looked like a whirlpool in the ocean, or a space-time crack in the vast sky, constantly changing.
The Wind and Moon Microcosm had an owner, so the entrance had naturally been modified. The Quicksand Secret Realm was a wild one, so it was likely that no one had modified it. Moreover, the irregular entrance didn't look like it had been opened by itself, but more like it had been cleaved open by a great force.
Gu Qingfeng paused at the entrance for a while, then rushed in with Lord Ma on the Nine-headed Scarlet Flaming Tiger Carriage.
There was no sun or moon in the Quicksand Secret Realm. Everything was grey and overcast, and the natural environment was particularly harsh. Looking around, it was like an endless desert, barren and desolate. Strong winds swept past, accompanied by sand and wind, blowing in one's face.
Gu Qingfeng looked around and saw specks of starlight flickering near the entrance. Taking a closer look, they were all flickering formations. Not only were there houses inside, there were even simple caves.
"There are people living in this godforsaken place?"
"Great Master, although this Quicksand Pocket World is dangerous, it's rich in resources. The various great immortal realms of the Bipolar Sky Domain will also set up strongholds here. If there are any resources or ancient cavern mansions, we can act immediately."
"I see."
Gu Qingfeng nodded, then shook his head. "Still, if I make a living in this place, I might lose my life one day."
Although the entrance to the Quicksand Secret Realm did not have much spiritual energy, fortunately, a lot of the poisonous fog drifted out through the entrance. Therefore, the poisonous fog near the entrance was not that serious. Ordinary immortals would be able to withstand it under normal circumstances, but that was only under normal circumstances. The natural environment inside the Quicksand Secret Realm was very unstable. There was no telling when a sudden change would occur. Putting everything else aside, if a natural mutation were to occur, these people would not be able to escape.
"Great Master, are you going inside?"
"What happened?"
"Why don't I wait for you here? The deeper we go, the stronger the poisonous fog becomes. With my cultivation, I won't be able to withstand it."
"The chariot is protected by a formation. You can just go in."
"Great Master." Lord Ma wanted to cry but had no tears. He said, "Although the chariot is protected by an array, but … what if the array's resources are used up? How can we come back? And … most importantly, our Firecloud Scarlet Flame Tiger can't withstand the poisonous fog inside."
"Sure."
Gu Qingfeng raised his head and gulped down a mouthful of wine before spitting it out again. Immediately after, a layer of fine wine mist enveloped the Firecloud Scarlet Flaming Tiger Carriage.
"Let's go. As long as we're covered by this fine wine mist, you won't have to worry even if this damn Quicksand Secret Realm explodes, let alone this damn poisonous mist."
What kind of method was this?
Lord Ma didn't know.
He only knew that after Gu Qingfeng sprayed the fine wine mist, a mysterious power seemed to be protecting the Firecloud Carriage. This mysterious power seemed to have isolated everything outside. Even the wind and sand couldn't enter, let alone the poisonous fog.
Fortunately, Lord Ma had been following Gu Qingfeng for a long time and had seen too many strange and inexplicable things, so he was not surprised by them.
Just like that, Lord Ma continued to swing the Firecloud Whip and drive the Firecloud Scarlet Flaming Tiger Carriage through the Quicksand Secret Realm.
Meanwhile, Gu Qingfeng sat on a chair and drank while looking around. Along the way, he saw many people wearing immortal armor and flying swords. They flew carefully in groups of three to five. He asked, "What are these people doing?"
"They're all adventurers looking for treasures inside."
"This lousy place is full of deserts. It can't even breed a single hair, can it?"
"First Master, there is a swamp further in. There are a lot of resources there, but … the poisonous fog inside is even more intense. If you are accidentally infected by the poisonous fog, your body will rot. In addition, there are some demonic beasts and evil spirits in the swamp. In any case, it is very scary."
Although Lord Ma had been to the Quicksand Secret Realm a few times, he'd only played around near the entrance. As for the swamp inside, he'd never entered it even once. He'd only heard that it was very scary inside and the slightest carelessness could lead to death.
Gu Qingfeng looked over. Sure enough, there was a swamp in front of him. The poisonous fog inside also seemed to be more serious.
Generally speaking, as long as there was no sun or moon in the world, the natural environment was relatively bad. As long as the natural environment was bad, poisonous fog would be produced.
Poisonous fog was just a common saying. In fact, the so-called poisonous fog was not a poisonous fog. Not only was it not poisonous, but it was also a kind of spiritual energy.
However, because of the natural environment, the spiritual energy gradually became less pure. The worse the environment, the more turbid the spiritual energy would be. Over time, the spiritual energy would become turbid.
Immortals focused on purity when they absorbed pure spiritual energy. When affected by the turbid spiritual energy, their physical body and immortal spirit would naturally be unable to withstand it. Therefore, the so-called turbid spiritual energy became poisonous fog in the eyes of immortals.
Turbid spiritual energy and spiritual energy were like light and darkness, like yin and yang. The world illuminated by the sun and moon was only filled with yang energy. In places without sun and moon, the yin energy was heavier.
Of course.
Immortals focused on purity when they absorbed pure spiritual energy. They couldn't withstand the turbid spiritual energy, but that didn't mean that other existences couldn't.
For example, demons, ghosts, and so on. These existences were the opposite of immortals who cultivated. The more turbid spiritual energy they absorbed, the more nourishing it was for them.
Moreover, the most important thing was that some of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures that were born under the shroud of turbid spiritual energy were not all 'poisonous' to immortals. Not only were they not poisonous, many heavenly materials and earthly treasures were indispensable for refining elixirs, immortal weapons, and magic treasures.
However.
After all, turbid spiritual energy was turbid spiritual energy.
If the turbid spiritual energy became more and more turbid, it would gradually produce turbid spiritual energy. Under the shroud of turbid spiritual energy, demon spirits, evil spirits, and so on would be born. If they died tragically in this place, their souls would be infected by the turbid spiritual energy and they would also become ghost spirits.
When these things were born, their minds were not developed and their strength was not strong. However, if they grew up, they would definitely be terrifying existences. Because their minds were not developed and they had no morals of good and evil, they would eat whatever was delicious. The immortal spirit of immortals was a fatal temptation to them. Therefore, those demon spirits and evil spirits were extremely cruel when they killed people. They would cut open your stomach and directly take out your immortal spirit and swallow it.
