Chapter 704: Chapter 664 Taiyin Secret Realm_2

Wang Lingying felt as if he had understood, "If I make three or five good friends, with the strength of the elder, I might have a decent harvest..."

Yet Fang Xi only responded with a mysterious smile, without a word.

Those who dared to enter the Taiyin Secret Realm in search of ’Taiyin Jade Crystal’ were at the very least in the late stages of the Transcendent God phase.

The secret realm couldn’t accommodate Integration cultivators, but every time the realm opened, Fairy City would send a direct descendant at the Returning to Emptiness phase to look for rare resources like ’Taiyin Jade Crystal’.

Although I’m not one to refrain from killing, the price would be rather steep, and it tends to draw too much attention.

Moreover, if that Returning to Emptiness cultivator is too young, it would not be good news for Fang Xi.

His lifespan is only tens of thousands of years, and it would be somewhat unworthy to forcefully contend with such cultivators.

...

Ten years quickly passed.

On this day, somewhere in Moon Invitation Immortal City.

An ancient altar stood silently. On top of the altar sat a monk in a yellow robe.

This person had a very large head, completely bald on top, with only a few sparse white hairs hanging around the sides, making him appear somewhat odd and comical.

But the cultivators standing quietly around him didn’t dare to speak loudly.

This was because he was a Returning to Emptiness cultivator!

And he was also an elder of Moon Invitation Immortal City, known for his unpredictable moods, whom many lower-level cultivators avoided at all cost.

Streams of Escape Light came one after another, landing on the ground and turning into a group of Transcendent God cultivators with varying appearances, with none below the late stages of Transcendent God!

Fang Xi, dressed in green and holding prayer beads, looked like a kind old man as he mingled among the group of cultivators, occasionally making conversation and appearing quite unobtrusive.

"Fairy Ma, Mr. Bu, Kou..."

As soon as he saw a small group of cultivators, his eyes lit up and he went forward to greet them.

Fairy Ma was clad in red, with almond-shaped eyes and a pitiable charm. She was in the late stages of Transcendent God phase and was from the Horse Family in Moon Invitation Immortal City.

Mr. Bu was quite tall, dressed in a green armor embellished with ancient patterns.

Kou, among the three, had the highest cultivation, already at the Perfect Transcendent God stage, dressed in a Taoist robe and attired as a Taoist.

Seeing Fang Xi approaching, Fairy Ma was the first to salute, "So it’s Friend Wang..."

This Wang Family Ancestor they had seen several times before, having tea and discussing the Tao, made them somewhat acquainted with each other.

But that was it, if they were to include him in their adventure, they wouldn’t agree to it at any cost.

After all, the trio had already developed tacit cooperation. Adding someone else midway would only hinder them, providing more loss than gain.

Yet Fang Xi, after exchanging a few courteous words, didn’t mention joining them but instead said, "My friends, if there are new secret realm maps for sale after this trip to the secret realm, please don’t forget about me..."

"I see..."

Fairy Ma, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but smile slightly, "So you’re placing your hopes on the next opening of the secret realm."

"Choosing so is indeed wise," Kou likewise agreed.

In their eyes, although this Wang Family Ancestor was in the late stages of Transcendent God, his treasures and Divine Skills were quite ordinary, and even cultivators at the Perfect Transcendent God stage might not come out of the Taiyin Secret Realm in one piece, let alone obtain opportunities and treasures.

Trying it out this time, then establishing relationships and getting familiar with the terrain, and betting on the next one was indeed very rational.

In fact, many cultivators who had visited the secret realm three or four times had still not obtained even a single piece of ’Taiyin Jade Crystal’!

"Alas... my cultivation is shallow, I’m not good at combat, I can only bet on the next generation. Fortunately, Ling Ying is a good child..."

Fang Xi sighed, took his leave, and joined another small group with a request to purchase.

A few hours later, the plaza had gathered dozens of Transcendent God peers.

The large-headed Returning to Emptiness cultivator suddenly opened his eyes, and it seemed as though two points of Golden Light emerged in his gaze.

Above the sky, a figure split the clouds and raced forward, a sword-bearing young man.

"It turns out to be Guang!"

The big-headed Returning to Emptiness cultivator smiled and stood up to welcome him.

"For this opening of the secret realm, I shall rely on Prime Taoist Chi," said the sword-bearing cultivator, whose cultivation was around the early stages of Returning to Emptiness. After saying this, he fell silent.

The big-headed cultivator named Chi didn’t mind, knowing the personality of the man, who was always aloof.

He stood up and with a smiling face, he said to the Transcendent God cultivators below, "You all have Taiyin Orders from the auction. When the secret realm opens, each of you can use these tokens to enter... There are some things I need to make clear in advance. First, the secret realm is extremely dangerous. Even we, the Returning to Emptiness ones, may fall there, so once you enter, you’re on your own, and there are no complaints in Life and Death!"

"Secondly, if you find yourselves in danger, you may shatter the token... thereby being directly teleported out of the secret realm."

"Whether you have found anything or not, after three months, the secret realm will close uniformly, and all cultivators will be teleported out."

The words of the cultivator surnamed Chi echoed in the ears of every cultivator.

Fang Xi was listening attentively, but in his heart, he was certain:

’The secret realm has requirements for those who enter. This early stage Returning to Emptiness cultivator could possibly occupy ten or even a hundred Transcendent God spots...’

’And Moon Invitation Immortal City likely cannot monitor the every move of all the cultivators within the secret realm...’

"Then, let’s begin the opening!"

After finishing his words, the cultivator named Chi immediately formed a hand seal with both hands.

Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy violently oscillated, continuously pouring into the altar beneath him.

Hum hum!

Amid the clear humming sound, moonlit shadows arose from the altar, endlessly sparkling.
