Immortal Venerable of the Beast Race
Chapter 202 - 202 125 Enter Secret Realm_1

202: 125 Enter Secret Realm_1 202: 125 Enter Secret Realm_1 “Can’t we just have a friendly competition?

It doesn’t have to be a fight to the death, right?”

Shen Long asked puzzledly.

Ice Silkworm True Person nodded and said, “Since Senior Qin proposed this, the other Nascent Soul Cultivators won’t accept it.

This matter involves a Qingxu Crystal mining vein; we mustn’t be careless.

In simple terms, win or lose, everyone wants a share.

If one wishes to monopolize, unless we combine forces with other countries to deal with the Skywolf Tribe and the Thunder Hawk Tribe, by that time, both tribes will also invite allies.

By then, no matter who occupies the mining vein, there won’t be much to share.”

The cake is only so big; the more forces that get involved, the less there is for each individual.

The appearance of the Secret Realm provided the upper echelons with a new solution.

Each side came up with a distribution plan that the other could accept.

Each side would send three hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators into the Secret Realm to hunt for treasures.

Whichever side had the most survivors would implement their distribution plan.

“Are there third-tier Monster Beasts or powerful prohibitions inside the Secret Realm?”

Shen Long continued to inquire.

“We’ve already sent some people in to scout, and for the time being, there’s no discovery of third-tier Monster Beasts; there are quite a few second-tier ones.

We analyzed it, and that Secret Realm is most likely left behind by a tribe of the Fire Sun Clan for tempering their younger generation,”

Ice Silkworm True Person explained.

The Fire Sun Clan was very powerful back then, ruling over many tribes.

Some tribes had Secret Realms to temper the younger generation and select outstanding clanspeople.

“Since Master has commanded, the disciple shall comply.

If Master is sending me in, is there a specific task?”

Shen Long asked.

Ice Silkworm True Person looked at him approvingly and said, “Indeed, someone has discovered a Five-Colored Yuzhi Fruit Tree within that has matured.

Spirit Beasts and Spirit Insects below the fourth tier can consume its fruit to increase their chances of mutating.

I want you to go in and harvest the Five-Colored Ganoderma Fruits.

Additionally, Master Aunt Du said that you may keep a quarter of the Spiritual Medicine you bring out.

You will earn Kind Attribute points by submitting the rest.

If you bring out something particularly valuable, there will be substantial rewards, including Core Formation spiritual objects and Tribulation-Transcending treasures.”

“Yes, disciple obeys.”

Shen Long assured.

Ice Silkworm True Person took out two talismans emanating ceaselessly with Spiritual Light and handed them to Shen Long, “These are third-tier Talismans, one for offense and one for defense – they are to save your life.

Getting the Five-Colored Ganoderma Fruit is secondary; it’s most important that you come out alive.”

“Thank you, Master!”

Shen Long expressed his gratitude, receiving the two talismans with both hands.

“This is the location where the Five-Colored Yuzhi Fruit Tree grows.

Each person entering the Secret Realm will land at different locations.

The location of the Five-Colored Yuzhi Fruit Tree is guarded by a Mutant Demon Beast; you must be extra careful not to underestimate it.”

Ice Silkworm True Person solemnly advised him and handed a piece of azure Beast Hide to Shen Long.

Shen Long earnestly promised to be cautious and tucked away the Beast Hide.

After Ice Silkworm had given a few more instructions, he let Shen Long go to prepare.

······

In Skywolf City, within a sprawling manor, Gu Bing and Tal Li sat in an azure Stone Pavilion, with three identically faced golden-clad men standing aside, reverently.

“This time, we send you into the Secret Realm to hunt for treasures in hopes that you will obtain that particular item.

If you bring it out, you will be greatly rewarded.”

Gu Bing stated.

“Yes, Great Priest.”

One of the golden-clad men responded.

“Gu Tian, you and your brothers all have the Cultivation of the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, and you’re quite strong.

But don’t underestimate the heroes of the world; the Human Clan also has many experts.

I hope you won’t be careless.”

Gu Bing cautioned.

“Great Priest.”

Gu Tian responded respectfully, promising to be cautious.

“Alright, you may go and prepare.

Once the Secret Realm is opened, we will give you a few third-tier Talismans for protection.”

Gu Bing waved his hand, dismissing them.

“Is the Secret Realm truly left behind by the Fire Sun Clan?

To think there were oversights.”

Tal Li remarked.

After the Barbarian Tribe destroyed the Fire Sun Clan, they scoured for Cultivation Resources and explored the Secret Realms.

“What’s so strange about that?

Only a few people knew about the existence of the Secret Realms.

The Fire Sun Clan was strong, and a great war erupted in this realm, with many tribes annihilated.

Those in the know either self-destructed or fled the Donghua Cultivation Realm.

It’s uncertain, but the Secret Realm allows Core Formation Cultivators to enter, which means either the Formation has stopped operating, or it was originally intended for tempering Core Formation Cultivators.

We’ve sent a number of Cultivators to hunt for treasure in there and didn’t find any third-tier Monster Beasts.”

Gu Bing explained.

“The Secret Realm is vast, and not many Cultivators have been sent in.

It’s impossible to thoroughly explore it in such a short time; there might indeed be third-tier Monster Beasts in there.”

Tal Li added.

“Indeed, this is why we’re giving Gu Tian and the others third-tier Talismans.

The Human Clan’s elite disciples will surely bring third-tier Talismans into the Secret Realm as well.”

Gu Bing affirmed.

Tal Li nodded but said nothing further.

······

Three days quickly passed, and within a large Azure Stone Plaza in Refuse Barbarian City, Shen Long, Lin Sisi, Xu Yunfeng, and three hundred other Foundation Establishment Cultivators gathered, their expressions varied.

Each of the three countries dispatched a hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators into the Secret Realm.

Every Sect contributed some Cultivators.

The Human Clan had agreements among themselves and with the Barbarian Tribe.

If the Human Clan’s distribution plan was implemented, the three countries had another internal distribution plan.

The more Foundation Establishment Cultivators each country had surviving, the greater the benefits they received.

In simple terms, as the Human Clan and Barbarian Tribe divide the cake, the share the Human Clan receives is further divided among the three countries, and then internally within each country.

Whichever country has the most disciples come out alive will take the largest share.

Atop the plaza stood a resplendent hall adorned with a plaque bearing the words “Immortal Gathering Palace.”
