Chapter 1346 The Spirit Void Secret Realm is About to Open
"Then why isn't he undergoing tribulation now?" Chen Yang asked with great interest.
"No, are you really stupid or just pretending?" Young Master Gu rolled his eyes.
"court death!"
Chen Yang roared and stomped his foot hard.
"Ahhh! I was wrong, I was wrong."
Immediately, Young Master Gu beneath his feet let out a shrill scream, repeatedly crying out that he had made a mistake.
Chen Yang only withdrew his foot after the boy was in excruciating pain.
"Brother, even if you're a rogue cultivator who came from a remote mountain village, you should know about the Spirit Ruins. Didn't you come out of the mountains this time for the Spirit Ruins?" Young Master Gu said with a mournful face.
"What did you say? Spirit Ruins? What is that? Why should I know?" Chen Yang was stunned, but said confidently.
"Brother, you don't even know about the Spirit Ruins? I really doubt if you're even from this world," Young Master Gu said speechlessly.
However, if this is truly Chen Yang's first time venturing out of the mountains, it's perfectly normal for him not to know about the Spirit Ruins.
However, for this guy to have cultivated to such a level and possess such astonishing strength in this remote mountain valley, he must have had an extraordinary master. At the very least, this master must be a Golden Core cultivator.
It was precisely because he had a Golden Core master that he was fearless of the Gu family and the Heavenly Thunder Sect.
"Lingxu, also known as Lingxu Secret Realm, is located in the center of the four major domains of East, West, South, and North. It is a primitive and wild land covered by a huge formation."
"The Spirit Ruins Secret Realm opens once every hundred years, and each opening lasts for two years. This time, there is still more than a month before the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm opens."
"The reason why there is such a place as the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm is to protect the spiritual roots of our Kunlun Immortal Sect. It is a realm within a realm constructed by ancient powerful beings."
"You may not know what the spiritual root of heaven and earth is. It is actually a towering tree, also known as the World Tree. It is because of the existence of this World Tree that the laws of heaven and earth within the Spirit Ruins are more complete than those outside, and the spiritual energy of the Great Dao is also more abundant. If you undergo tribulation in the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm, the grade of the Golden Core you attain may be higher."
"It is for this reason that many cultivators, even if they are capable of undergoing tribulation, choose not to, but instead undergo tribulation in the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm when it opens once every hundred years. My senior brother Wu Daochen is thinking in this way."
"Considering that the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm contains many ancient savage beasts, including even Golden Core demon beasts, it is fraught with danger. Therefore, only those at the Divine Realm and Golden Core stage are qualified to enter."
"However, due to various considerations, the Divine Realm and the Golden Core Realm cannot enter the Spirit Ruins at the same time, but must take turns. For example, this century belongs to the Divine Realm, and the next century belongs to the Golden Core Realm."
"To be precise, only once every two hundred years can a person at the Divine Realm have the opportunity to enter the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm. Similarly, only once every two hundred years can a person at the Golden Core Realm have the opportunity to enter the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm."
"I heard that the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm used to open once every fifty years, but as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth declined, it was changed to open once every one hundred years in order to reduce the impact on the World Tree."
……
Young Master Gu knew a lot and spoke eloquently to Chen Yang.
Hearing this, Chen Yang's eyes lit up.
He was just thinking about finding a place to undergo the Golden Core tribulation when he found such a wonderful place as the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm. It was practically made for him, and he had to accept it with a smile.
Indeed, everything happens for the best.
Whether it was the Kunlun Immortal Gate, which opens only once every thousand years, or the Lingxu Secret Realm, which opens only once every hundred years, he was incredibly lucky to encounter them both.
The treatment afforded to the chosen ones is something they can't argue with.
"Where is the entrance to the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm?" Chen Yang asked.
"The Western Regions, the Jade Pool Holy Land. Many cultivators are already waiting there. If you want to enter the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm to cultivate, you should hurry up and go there too," said Young Master Gu, appearing like a kind old man.
But for him, it was all a temporary measure, a way to survive.
Once he survives, he will make Chen Yang pay. He will tear out his tendons, skin him, remove his bones, and not even spare his soul. He will burn it in the most intense flames for thousands or tens of thousands of years.
"Big brother, I've said so much, shouldn't you let me go? I promise I won't cause you any trouble," Young Master Gu said pitifully.
"Wait, no rush, I haven't finished asking my question yet. Have you ever heard of the Ice and Snow Temple sect? Do you know where it is?" Chen Yang continued to ask.
"Ice and Snow Temple, of course I know it. This sect is full of beauties and only recruits pretty female cultivators. It is located in the Eastern Region, in the same region as the Shu Mountain Sword Sect." Young Master Gu replied, every word of which was true, without any deception or concealment.
Chen Yang then asked some questions about the Kunlun Immortal Sect, which Young Master Gu answered one by one with a very good attitude.
"Alright, take off your spatial ring," Chen Yang suddenly said to Young Master Gu.
What are you going to do?
Young Master Gu was startled and quickly pulled his hand back.
As the eldest son of the Gu family, the most prestigious family in Thunder City, his spatial ring contained a plethora of treasures—it was, without exaggeration, a walking treasure trove. He would rather die than hand it over.
"As a defeated opponent, isn't it only right that I take some compensation from you? Is your life more important, or your spatial ring? You should weigh the options yourself," Chen Yang said with a smile, but his smile clearly concealed a dagger, an extremely sharp dagger.
When you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head!
"If I give you the spatial ring, will you spare my life?" Young Master Gu asked tremblingly.
"You're a defeated opponent, trying to bargain with me? Do you even have the right? If you dare utter another word of nonsense, believe me, I'll slap you to death!" Chen Yang raised a large hand, as if to strike.
"No, no, I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you, okay?"
Young Master Gu was terrified and quickly took off his spatial ring, handing it to Chen Yang personally.
Chen Yang released a divine sense into his spatial ring and saw a colorful array of valuable items: piles of spirit stones, boxes of elixirs and medicines, beast cores, animal hides, gold and silver jewelry, daily necessities, and more. He even spotted some women's clothing.
A playboy, no doubt about it!
"Alright, you can leave now. However, given that you colluded with the bandits and committed heinous crimes, if I let you go like this, it would be tantamount to aiding and abetting a tyrant, and I might be struck by lightning. I can give you half a minute to escape, and I will shoot you dead here with this great bow. Whether you escape or not is your fate."
As he spoke, a large bow suddenly appeared in Chen Yang's hand.
This bow has a bow body made from the bones of a dragon and a bowstring made from the sinews of a dragon.
It was the Dragon-Dragon Divine Bow that was seized from the Golden Dragon Clan.
"How could you do this? You broke your promise! You said you'd let me go," Young Master Gu said angrily, clearly frustrated.
"Timer starts, one, two, three..."
Chen Yang started the countdown himself and pulled the bowstring.
hum!
In an instant, the bowstring trembled, and an imperceptible, inexplicable aura surged forth, rapidly spreading in all directions.
Damn it!
Upon seeing this, Young Master Gu dared not delay any longer and immediately turned and ran.
Even though he was seriously injured, as a god-level being, he could run away faster than a rabbit.
When Chen Yang's half-minute countdown ended, Young Master Gu had already run several miles away, plunged into the deep mountains and forests, and disappeared from Chen Yang and Xiao Xing'er's sight.
"Uncle, the people are gone, they've all run away, how are you going to shoot them?" Little Xing'er said speechlessly.
However, despite saying that, Chen Yang's great bow surprised her. It had no arrows, yet it condensed the essence of heaven and earth into a beam of light.
Moreover, the sound of a dragon's roar emanating from within the conch shell made her feel even more awe-inspiring and confused.
"He can't escape. Little Xing'er, watch out."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yang released the bowstring, and the light arrow, condensed from the energy of heaven and earth, shot out swiftly, its speed instantly reaching nearly ten times the speed of sound, comparable to a high-tech electromagnetic cannon.
At this moment, deep in a dense forest at the foot of the mountain, Young Master Gu, who had run several miles away in one breath, had just stopped to catch his breath when suddenly a blazing white light descended from the sky.
Before he could even figure out what the white light was, it suddenly shot into his crown, piercing through him completely.
"Do not……"
Before he died, he only managed to let out one scream.
Xiao Xing'er heard the scream clearly, which made her scalp tingle and sent chills down her spine.
Chen Yang remained calm and slowly put away the Dragon-Flood Divine Bow.
"Master, what are we doing now? Should we go back?" Xiao Xing'er asked.
"Let's go take a look in the ruins, maybe we can find something good," Chen Yang said, gazing at the ruins in the valley.
Just now, a burst of divine lightning swept across the land, leveling all the buildings in the valley and nearly wiping out the henchmen.
Since it's a bandit's lair, there must be a treasure vault, and maybe we'll make some unexpected discoveries.
At that moment, Chen Yang took Xiao Xing'er's hand and slowly descended into the void, arriving at the ruins of the valley.
"Uncle, you've blasted the valley into this state. Even if there were treasures there, they'd probably be reduced to ashes by now, right?" Little Xing'er exclaimed, clicking her tongue at the sight of the devastated scene before her.
"That's not necessarily true. What you're seeing is only the surface."
On the cliff face on one side of the valley, Chen Yang saw a stone gate.
Standing in front of the stone gate, Chen Yang smashed it with a single palm strike.
Upon entering the stone gate, Xiao Xing'er gasped in surprise. Inside was a secret chamber, its walls inlaid with luminous pearls that shone brightly. It was filled with gold and silver jewels, spirit stones and herbs, animal hides and cores, as well as various weapons such as knives, spears, swords, and halberds.
Clearly, this is the bandits' treasure vault, where they have hidden all the treasures they have plundered over the past ten years.
Fortunately, the treasure vault was located inside a cave in the mountain cliff; if it had been an outside house, it would most likely have been reduced to ashes by now.
"Wow, Uncle, so many good things, what are you going to do with them?" Little Xing'er asked Chen Yang.
"Of course we'll pack it up and take it away. What else can we do with it? Are we going to leave it for someone else?" Chen Yang said with a smile, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
With these resources, he can go into seclusion for a period of time to recover the combat power lost through the space channel to its peak.
Hearing from Young Master Gu that the gate to the Spirit Ruins would open in a little over a month, Chen Yang's plan was to immediately enter the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm to undergo the Golden Core Tribulation.
Therefore, the search for Qiao Qiumeng will have to be put on hold for now, and we'll look for her again after we come out of the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm.
Even if she went to the Ice and Snow Temple to rescue Qiao Qiumeng now, it would be useless, because Qiao Qiumeng does not have the cultivation of a god and cannot enter the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm with him.
Thus, how to settle Qiao Qiumeng during his time in the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm became a problem.
In particular, given how many talented individuals from the immortal sects he killed in the mortal realm, if he were to go and rescue Qiao Qiumeng now, his past killings within the immortal sects could be exposed. At that point, not only would Qiao Qiumeng's safety be at risk, but his own would be as well.
In this perilous little world, he had to tread carefully with every step, for one wrong move could lead to utter ruin.
After using his spatial ring to sweep away all the cultivation resources in the bandit's treasure vault, Chen Yang left with Xiao Xing'er.
Soon, the two, one big and one small, returned to Xinghua Village.
Although it was late at night, all the villagers in Xinghua Village were unable to sleep and were waiting at Xiaoxing'er's house.
When Chen Yang and Xiao Xing'er returned and told them that they had destroyed Kowloon Village and that all the bandits had been wiped out, the villagers were finally relieved.
Some villagers didn't believe him, thinking he was lying without thinking, but he was too lazy to explain.
He also didn't mention that he killed the eldest son of the Gu family in Thunder City.
After all the villagers had gone home, Chen Yang took his leave.
He needs to go to a quiet and safe place to cultivate in seclusion and improve his combat power to its peak.
Because the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm will open in a little over a month, his seclusion this time cannot be too long.
"Uncle, I don't want you to leave."
Upon hearing that Chen Yang was leaving, Xiao Xing'er was so aggrieved that she almost cried.
Although the two spent only one day together, the experience Chen Yang gave Xiao Xing'er was unlike anything she had experienced in over a decade. It showed her a different world.
Zhang Dashan and his wife knew that Chen Yang was a cultivator, and might even have an extraordinary background, so they didn't try to stop him, because they knew they couldn't.
"Uncle, you said you'd take Xing'er to cultivate immortality, and that Xing'er is exceptionally talented and has some kind of phoenix bloodline. You're not lying to Xing'er, are you?" Little Xing'er cried.
"Alright, little Xing'er, stop fooling around. Master Chen has his own things to do and can't stay in our Xinghua Village for long," Zhang Dashan said, grabbing his daughter's hand.
"I'm so sorry, Master Chen, you must have found this amusing," Sister Huang said apologetically.
Then, she scolded her daughter, "Little Xing'er, have you forgotten what your aptitude is? You have mixed spiritual roots, yet you still want to learn cultivation. Don't make things difficult for Master Chen."
Their daughter was incredibly intelligent, but the Thunder God Sect had detected that she had mixed spiritual roots, leaving the couple speechless.
But facts are facts, and they cannot be changed.
Their daughter is destined to have no chance of cultivating immortality in this lifetime.
They were always envious when they thought about how their neighbor's daughter joined the Heavenly Thunder Sect, became an inner disciple, and changed the fate of her family.
