Chapter 443: Chapter 22 Rune Secret Realm [Thanks to the Gold Alliance "Weila Anli Canaan"]_1

Yinluo Mountain.

This place is the old site of the ancient Talisman Immortal Sect, once filled with grand buildings shining in gold, but now, it is nothing but a pile of broken walls and ruins. Everywhere you look, it is desolate.

It was also because the remnants of an ancient talisman array still lingered here that no birds or beasts dared to approach it. So, the whole mountain peak seemed desolate and gloomy, like a land of death.

This was the desolation Chu Liang saw when he landed.

Following the directions given by the Law-enforcement Elder, he walked to the center of the mountain peak where a hall teetered on the verge of collapse. There he saw several figures.

"Warrior Chu!" A bald figure waved and greeted immediately.

"You’re here too?" Chu Liang replied with a smile.

This man was bald, his skin smooth and his appearance graceful. He was Monk Pu Shan from Yunque Temple, the young monk who cultivated in silence.

"Such a coincidence, isn’t it?" Monk Pu Shan came closer with a smile, "There aren’t many in our temple who practice the Dao of Talisman. Despite being a half-baked practitioner, I was sent here..."

"Between us, there’s no need for modesty." Chu Liang quickly interrupted him with a laugh.

Buddhism has its own lineage of Talisman cultivation, which differs significantly from that of Daoism. Over the years, the two religions have been learning from each other, currently in a process of gradual integration and amalgamation.

He then turned to look at the other few people in the field.

The most eye-catching was a tall woman. She had a long and slender figure, adorned with golden hairpins and cloud-like hair. Her eyes were deep and bright, which made her extremely attractive, compact with an aura that distanced her from the ordinary people.

Her beauty was sharply beautiful, like a frosty knife under the moon.

In terms of looks, this was probably the only face Chu Liang had seen that could equal Senior Sister Jiang.

Of course, Senior Sister Jiang was still a little more elegant... He quickly supplied a sentence in his heart.

Before, he had defeated Jiang Yuebai to secure a spot here. Though she didn’t say anything after, it was obvious that she took it to heart. Before Chu Liang left, she had already shut herself in seclusion to diligently practice the Dao of Talisman.

After all, it was she who initiated Chu Liang into the Talisman Sword Technique, and now she was being surpassed by her junior disciple. Jiang Yuebai must have felt a gap in her heart.

All Chu Liang could do about her strong desire for victory was sigh.

As for the woman in front of him, he could guess her identity with a simple thought.

She was Xi Miaoxian, the most beautiful woman of Penglai.

She was an exceptionally beautiful woman who had been well-known in the realm of Immortal Cultivation for a long time. Some even said she was the most beautiful among the younger generation in Nine States. But that seemed too exaggerated. At the very least, the devotees of Jiang Yuebai would certainly dissent.

And so did Chu Liang.

However, placing her in the top two wouldn’t seem to be a big issue to Chu Liang.

"That’s Xi Miaoxian of Penglai and Situ Guanhai of Misty Mountain Imortal. You must have heard of them, right?" Monk Pu Shan habitually introduced to Chu Liang.

"Of course, I have." Chu Liang nodded slightly.

There’s no need to mention Xi Miaoxian. Situ Guanhai was also one of the more prominent young disciples on Misty Mountain Imortal. He made his debut two years earlier than Zhuge Guanxing, which made him more renowned.

He seemed a bit rakish. Of around twenty years old, he had grown a faint beard and his semi-long hair was disorderly. However, because of his tall stature and distinct face contours, he didn’t look shabby. Instead, he had a kind of rugged handsomeness.

This young hero, who looked quite dashing on the outside, was now standing beside Xi Miaoxian. His eyes were squinted into a line due to his wide grin, and he didn’t look dashing at all.

"As far as I know, among the people who came this time, his mastery of the Dao of Talisman is the highest." Monk Pu Shan’s explanation continued, "We are all only dabbling in the Dao of Talisman, while Situ Guanhai is a primary cultivator of the Dao of Talisman in Misty Mountain Imortal. It’s said that his cultivation is now not inferior to that of the elite disciples of the Talisman Immortal Sect in its prime."

"That’s indeed formidable." Chu Liang agreed.

He knew this as well. Because it was the law-enforcement elder who briefed him before entering the Secret Realm and not his own master, the information he got was quite detailed... Outsiders always tend to be more reliable, solely from the perspective of Silver Sword Peak.

"Looking at him, Penglai and Misty Mountain will probably band together. Tianshu Pavilion and Heavenly King Sect would naturally form an alliance. After entering the Secret Realm, we must look after each other." Monk Pu Shan recommended.

"That’s how it should be." Chu Liang agreed.

It was a pity that the two were already at the fifth realm of cultivation, otherwise Chu Liang would have definitely shown Monk Pu Shan the true definition of ’falling out’ after entering the Secret Realm.

Just as Monk Pu Shan mentioned Tianshu Pavilion and Heavenly King Sect, a gust of wind swept across the sky, and a few more figures landed swiftly.

When the wind and clouds dispersed, it was revealed that it was one elder accompanied by two young masters.

Among them, Chu Liang only recognized one, which was Feng Chaoyang from Heavenly King Sect.

With an appearance of health and vitality, and bright eyes, upon seeing Chu Liang, he immediately gave a hearty laugh, "Young hero Chu, you’re here too!"

"Long time no see." Chu Liang once again greeted with a smile.

"I won’t lose to you again this time." With an aura contained within him, Feng Chaoyang exuded exceptional prowess. It seemed that he had also advanced to the fifth realm.

Because of this, he exuded an atmosphere of confidence.

Stand beside him was a quiet and thin young man. He looked a little mature behind which some traces of his youth could still be noted, making it hard to guess his age. He was keeping his head down and not looking at the people around him. At first glance, he appeared to be quite introverted.

"Ye Yongxing? He actually came?" Monk Pu Shan was somewhat surprised.

"How so?" Chu Liang whispered.

He did not receive much information about this person. Seeing that Monk Pu Shan seemed to know something, he asked.

"He is the personal disciple of Immortal Wulou, the master of Tianshu Pavilion. It is said that he is extraordinarily talented in ’Observing Heavenly Meridian,’ but there’s something bad about him..." Monk Pu Shan suddenly smiled and said, "He is afraid of people."

"Afraid of people?" Chu Liang was confused.

"That’s right, he is afraid of interacting with people. It is said that he feels uncomfortable when others look at him and can’t talk to strangers at all. Hence, he seldom steps out of Silent Mountain." Monk Pu Shan explained.

Well, that makes sense.

Turns out it’s a severe case of social phobia.

Chu Liang immediately understood why Monk Pu Shan was wearing such a mischievous smile: did you feel superior in terms of socializing?

What he didn’t notice was that Ye Yongxing looked up and scanned the present people. When his gaze fell on Chu Liang, it revealed a surprised expression for a moment.

But he soon lowered his head again.

Perhaps it is due to Ye Yongxing’s particular character, the elder from Tianshu Pavilion chose to personally take up the task of opening the Secret Realm. He was the only one who came with his personal disciple.

The cyan-bearded elder from Tianshu Pavilion looked around and said with a flick of his sleeve, "Since everyone is present, let’s prepare to open the Fu Tianshi Secret Realm."

Everyone stepped forward, paying their respect to the elder.

"I’m sure the seniors from your respective sects have informed you about the origin of this secret realm," the gray-bearded old man said. "Let me remind you again, the most important inheritance here is the golden rune left by the first generation Talisman Heavenly Master. Try to understand and collect as much as you can from it in there. Each rune can only be comprehended by one person, so there will definitely be competition inside, but the most important thing is the insight into the Dao of Talisman, and not to focus too much on slaughtering each other."

"We understand." Everyone agreed in unison.

Following that, the gray-bearded old man waved his hand again and crushed a jade talisman. A loud rumbling sound suddenly filled the air.

A black hole suddenly opened in the void.

"This old man wishes you all success on your journey." He said another sentence.

"Thank you, elder."

They all eagerly flew into the hole, only Ye Yongxing of Tianshu Pavilion hesitated in front of the entrance.

It was the gray-bearded elder who encouraged him, "Yongxing, just do your best."

Ye Yongxing glanced back at him before he turned around and threw himself into the entrance.

Whizz--

The black hole rippled for a while before slowly closing again.

...

His sight went black, and suddenly there was solid ground beneath his feet.

When Chu Liang opened his eyes, he found himself still in the main hall. He almost thought he had failed to enter the secret realm.

But on a closer look, he noticed changes.

The main hall at this moment was not dilapidated but completely intact. The main doors, front and back, were tightly closed, the four walls dazzlingly shiny and completely empty but absolutely resplendent.

Is the layout of this secret realm the same as the old site of the Talisman Immortal Sect outside?

"Roar--"

Before Chu Liang could observe carefully, a beast roar came from behind him. He suddenly turned around and saw a winged flying tiger, its fierce body over a meter high, pouncing towards him!

This flying tiger looked vicious and ferocious, but it didn’t have a trace of demonic aura, only a burning aura and a faint glow around its body, which seemed a bit bizarre.

But regardless, Chu Liang had to protect himself.

He offered up his Dustless Sword, a flash of sword light pierced through the air in a moment, hissing as it sliced across the tiger’s body.

Its body was instantly cut open, making a sharp sound like ripping cloth, but there was no blood splattering out, only some light spilled out.

Bang--

Its pounce arrived. Chu Liang quickly jumped to dodge it, just managed to avoid it.

At this moment, he confirmed that this flying tiger was definitely not a living creature but some kind of lifeless derivative.

But despite not being a real living being, its combat power was only stronger. It didn’t know pain or fatigue, and as soon as it missed a pounce, it immediately lifted its tail and swept towards Chu Liang!

An immediate gust of wind screamed into his ears!

Caught off guard by consecutive attacks, Chu Liang had no time to dodge. He could only activate Shrinkage to try to dodge with the Immortal Law.

But at the moment he released his Divine Skills, his face changed.

This place was actually disconnected from the Way of Heaven and Earth, and his Immortal Law had no effect at all.

Thud--

A powerful tiger tail heavily smashed Chu Liang, throwing him over a dozen meters into the wall of the main hall, and then he fell heavily to the ground.

"Heh..."

Chu Liang spat out a mouthful of stale air and quickly got up.

Thanks to his protection of the fifth realm True Qi, his geng metal True Qi infused the shell making it indestructible, and his minor injuries were immediately healed by jia wood qi. In addition to his Dragon-like physical strength, this blow could not cause him any harm.

It appears that my blood and True Qi cultivation is still here, but there’s no Heavenly Dao, so I can’t use Immortal Law.

Upon learning the rules of this place, Chu Liang immediately changed his fighting method. Instead of using flying swords to injure the tiger, he attacked it personally! His Dragon blood ignited and exploded with a momentum no weaker than that of the flying tiger!

Bang--

As the flying tiger’s second attack arrived, Chu Liang did not dodge. He punched the tiger straight in the jaw, sending the giant flying tiger spinning in the air!

But there was only a ripple of light on its body, no wounds.

Can’t be killed?

Chu Liang’s eyes narrowed.

I’ll just have to see if that’s true!

His figure soared into the air, and then he landed a heavy punch!

Boom!

His punch came down like thunder from heaven, crashing down on the forehead of the tiger, punching a hole straight through it, and even half of his arm was buried in its head.

Bang--

Finally, its enormous body burst like a balloon, turning into a burst of black and white illusions scattering into dust.

So it’s not invincible.

Chu Liang landed lightly on the ground.

If his teacher really taught him anything useful, this point would have to be taken into account... nothing can’t be killed, if there is something it means you’re not strong enough.

Looking at the fragments of black and white illusions flooding the sky, his brow furrowed.

"Huh?"

He sensed the gradually disappearing aura in the air, slightly surprised.

"Is this the power of runes?"
