Chapter 643: 552 Secret Realm Treasure Hunt (None left today)_1

"Monopolize? What a joke. The secret realm is within our Qianling Sect’s territory to begin with; it’s ours by right. What does it have to do with your Yinluo Sect, Blood Flame Sect, or the Qi Family?"

Li Dong scoffed.

"Exactly, since when did this place become the domain of your Yinluo Sect?"

The red-robed elder chimed in.

Zhao Yan, Void Refinement Middle Stage, from Nine Flames Sect.

"Talking nonsense with eyes wide open, Madam Xu is quite the expert."

The woman in a white dress mocked.

Li Wanyue, Void Refinement Middle Stage, from the Li Family.

"Today it’s yours, but tomorrow may not be the same. If you want to fight, we’ll accompany you to the end," Xu Jiaojiao said coldly.

"Daoist Friend Li, Daoist Friend Zhao, Madam Li, Madam Xu, let’s all take a step back. Right now, there’s no concrete evidence to connect the secret realm with Feathered Wing True Monarch. Fighting over a secret realm whose value is not yet confirmed is not a wise move," the man in a blood-colored shirt spoke up.

Ning Sheng, Void Refinement Middle Stage.

"Exactly, who dares claim this is definitely the abode of the Feathered Wing True Monarch? Of course, if you really wish to fight to the death, we’ll oblige," a voluptuous woman in a blood-colored dress agreed.

"Even if the value of the secret realm is not yet known, this is originally our territory. Are we expected to just hand it over to you?" Li Dong scoffed again.

"Let’s first open the entrance to the secret realm before we rush into anything! If it truly holds great value, it’s not too late to fight to the death then," Ning Sheng suggested.

Upon hearing this, both Xu Jiaojiao and Li Dong were somewhat tempted.

If the secret realm really contained precious cultivation resources, fighting to the death later wouldn’t be too late.

"I have no objections," Xu Jiaojiao stated.

Li Dong pondered for a while then communicated with Zhao Yan and Li Wanyue through voice transmission. He nodded and said, "Then let’s open the entrance and take a look first."

Xu Jiaojiao flipped her right hand, and a palm-sized black conch shell appeared. She began to speak, "Disciples of the Yinluo Sect, heed my command, stop entangling with the enemy and regroup here immediately."

Li Dong took a deep breath and announced, "Disciples of the Qianling Sect, come and regroup immediately, alternate in providing cover."

Their voices spread throughout a hundred thousand li; they couldn’t be heard beyond that distance.

Before long, a large number of Soul Transformation Cultivators flew toward this location, including Shen Long.

Over a thousand Soul Transformation Cultivators gathered here, belonging to six factions—mostly disciples from Qianling Sect and the Yinluo Sect. Nine Flames Sect, Qi Family, Li Family, and Blood Flame Sect had come to help and didn’t bring many Soul Transformation Cultivators.

More than ten Void Refining Cultivators gathered in a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides. Xu Jiaojiao brought out a small mirror that was continually flickering with black light and infused it with mana.

The black mirror emitted a beam of black auspicious light, covering a certain area of space, where a gate about three zhang high appeared, half-visible and half-hidden.

Li Dong performed a spell, and a green light surged from his body. A huge human-shaped apparition appeared above him, the sky’s color changed, and violent winds picked up.

Dharma Nature!

The human apparition was Li Dong magnified. He threw a punch at the spot where the gate was, twisting and warping the void. The other Void Refining Cultivators also made their moves, attacking the gate.

A tremendous booming noise ensued, and a rainbow of spiritual light engulfed the area where the gate was located.

After a while, Li Dong and others stopped casting. A gate with ceaselessly flowing green light appeared in the void, and a stream of pure spiritual energy gushed out.

Li Dong flicked his wrist, and dozens of green bees flew out from the Spirit Beast Bracelet, heading towards the Green Light Gate.

The green bees passed through the Green Light Gate without triggering any prohibitions.

Xu Jiaojiao applied a defense to herself and flew towards the Green Light Gate, only to be blocked by a formidable force.

"Void Refining Cultivators can’t enter?" Xu Jiaojiao’s brows furrowed tightly.

"Then let the Soul Transformation Cultivators go in. Whatever treasure is found will depend on each person’s abilities," Ning Sheng proposed.

Li Dong and Xu Jiaojiao did not object; the value of the secret realm was unknown, and they saw no reason to fight fiercely over it.

"You are to go in and search for the treasure, and since it’s a man-made Secret Realm, there is likely a control hub. Those who find the control hub will be heavily rewarded," said Li Dong in a deep voice.

"Yes, Master Uncle Li,"

Shen Long and the others said in unison.

Thousands of Soul Transformation Cultivators flew into the Green Light Gate one after another, entering the Secret Realm to search for treasures.

After a slight dizzy spell, Shen Long appeared in a cave that spanned over ten acres. At the top of the cave was a large hole through which sunlight shone through.

In the bottom right corner of the cave, there was a thirty-foot-tall green fruit tree with dozens of oval-shaped green fruits hanging from it.

"Enlightening Fruit!"

Shen Long was overjoyed.

Two thick bolts of green lightning shot toward Shen Long.

With a flick of his sleeve, Shen Long released a green glowing bead that quickly moved above the Enlightening Fruit tree.

The green bead spun and transformed into a thick green light screen, enveloping the entire Enlightening Fruit tree.

He opened his mouth and emitted a yellow sonic wave that shattered the two green lightning bolts, producing a powerful shockwave that split the cave apart and filled it with rolling dust.

Shen Long glanced around and saw two giant green eagles, their bodies covered in green electric arcs.

"Late-stage fifth-order Green Thunder Eagles!"

Shen Long recognized the origin of the green birds.

"Dare to invade our territory? You’re seeking death."

One of the Green Thunder Eagles spoke human language, its body emanating an outburst of green electric arcs.

Just then, a piercing screech sounded; the green electric arcs around the Green Thunder Eagles dissipated, leaving them dizzy and disoriented.

A beam of golden lightning flashed, and the Thunder Roc appeared above one of the Green Thunder Eagles, its mouth releasing a thick bolt of golden lightning that struck the eagle.

The golden lightning engulfed the body of the Green Thunder Eagle which cried out miserably as the Thunder Roc’s sharp talons easily pierced through its head.

At the same time, dozens of thick green vines shot up from the ground, quickly intertwining to form a giant green hand that grabbed the other Green Thunder Eagle by its talon.

A strong gravitational force emerged from the ground, dragging the Green Thunder Eagle down uncontrollably.

The Green Thunder Eagle flapped its wings ferociously, sending out a storm of green electric arcs that engulfed the green hand, causing it to break apart.

It opened its mouth and unleashed a thick green lightning bolt that struck the ground, leaving a sizable pit billowing with black smoke.

Another thick bolt of golden lightning flew towards and struck the Green Thunder Eagle; its body shuddered, emitting an agonizing scream.

The Thunder Roc swooped down, its talons penetrating the Green Thunder Eagle’s head.

Shen Long summoned a Green Jade Vase and collected the Spirit Souls of the two Green Thunder Eagles.

"These two were still too weak," said the Thunder Roc, full of disdain.

Shen Long nodded with a smile, using a long knife to open the stomachs of the Green Thunder Eagles and a green bead flew out from within.

He picked up the green bead and raised it high; the sky showed no abnormalities.

"An Absorbing Thunder Pearl! It’s yours! After you assimilate it, your future tribulations will be much easier,"

Shen Long said with joy, feeding the Absorbing Thunder Pearl to the Thunder Roc, allowing it to swallow it along with the bodies of the two Green Thunder Eagles.

With a gesture of his hand, the green light screen transformed back into a green glowing bead and entered the sleeve of his robe.

He plucked all the Enlightening Fruits and stored them in his Storage Bracelet. He then summoned his treasure, and with the help of the Tree Demon, transplanted the Enlightening Fruit tree.

He retracted the Thunder Roc into the Spirit Beast Bracelet and strode out, finding himself on the peak of a high mountain, located amidst a range of lush green rolling hills.

Shen Long released the Hundred Eyes Cicada and the Four-Tailed Spirit Fox, with the Hundred Eyes Cicada’s eyes emitting a blinding golden light as it began to scout ahead.

"Master, there are no discoveries at the moment,"

said the Hundred Eyes Cicada.

"That’s not surprising, this area is probably all under the territory of the two Green Thunder Eagles,"

Shen Long said unconcernedly, flying down the mountain towards a dense forest not far away.

The Hundred Eyes Cicada followed closely beside him, the Iron Tail Scorpion and the Four-Tailed Spirit Fox followed underground, and the Tree Person used the Wood Escape Technique to navigate through the forest.

Before long, Shen Long disappeared into the thick of the forest.
