Chapter 55: The Secret Realm of Jiuhua (Second Update)
Zhao Duo took a deep breath, but it was just that two people were casually at the level of a strong Return to One period, and one person going out could flatten the city of Wanghai. Now, however, at least two such individuals had suddenly appeared here.
"Steady your mind," Zhao Xiao said in a low voice, "These powerful beings are probably among the top few on Death Island. The question is, what are they secretly gathering here for?"
At this moment, a tall and sturdy man among the dozen or so people, wielding a large battle-axe in his hand, roared: "Everyone is not here for the first time, and there's no need to say more about the specific rules. The Jiuhua Secret Realm opens once every 5,000 years, and the opportunity is determined by heaven. Everyone can get what they want depending on their luck, I hope you all don't provoke the demon king inside, believe me, nobody wants to be hunted down to death."
"Just then, a dwarf about one meter tall said: 'Hudeli, why talk so much nonsense? Now everyone works together to seal off the valley and wait quietly for the Jiu Hua secret realm to open.'"
Hudeli, the tall and imposing man wielding a large greataxe, glanced at the dwarf with disdain and said, "Dwarf Li, do you need to remind us? Let's work together."
The power of speech, more than a dozen strong men with cultivation at least in the Return to One period joined forces, and saw that a series of light beams shot out from their hands. In the blink of an eye, the surrounding area of tens of miles including the valley was completely sealed off. Unless the seal disappears, it can only be exited but not entered. Of course, if someone can break the seal from the outside, it's not impossible, but don't forget that this is a seal set by more than a dozen strong men in the Return to One period joining forces. It's likely that even a strong Daoist would have to think carefully to remove it.
A dozen or so strong men in the first stage of Qi Refining didn't notice that their every move was being watched by Zhao Zhu and Bai Jing. Perhaps it was because they were always confident, but they had committed the mistake of "not noticing the darkness under the lamp", and they hadn't even thought that there were other people staying in this valley just a few miles away from them.
"Jiuhua Secret Realm?"
Zhao Duo looked at Bai Jingjian with a puzzled expression, while Bai Jingjian didn't seem to be much stronger than Zhao Duo. His face was also filled with confusion, but his eyes revealed a hint of joy, as if he had some understanding of the Jiu Hua secret realm.
Zhao Duo's robust physique couldn't help but tug at the corner of Bai Jingjing's clothes, saying in a low voice: "Bai Jingjing, do you know what this Jiuhua Secret Realm is?"
Shaking her head, Bai Jing said: "I've never even heard of the Jiuhua Secret Realm, how would I have any understanding?"
Zhao Duo heard this and curled his lip, saying: "If you don't know anything, then why are you still smiling with joy?"
With a disdainful glance at Zhao Zhuo, Bai Jingyi said in a low voice: "You really are unlearned and unskilled. I truly suspect how someone as ignorant as you could cultivate to this day and still possess a top-grade acquired artifact. Could it be that the heavens have gone blind?"
Zhao Duo's face was full of pride, as if Bai Jingjing was praising him, and he said with a smile: "Actually, you don't have to envy me, your treasure is not bad either."
It's really that Zhao Shuo had no choice, after all, Zhao Shuo's face was tempered through the 21st century, and in this ancient world, there were hardly a few people with skin as thick as his.
"Although I don't know the authenticity of Jiu Hua Secret Realm, I do know what a secret realm is. In ancient times, countless Dao masters fell, and after their fall, their bodies would transform into mountains and rivers, while their essence and spiritual energy would evolve into various secret realms, caves, and blessed lands. Because these Dao masters usually opened up their own small worlds in these two places, it's highly likely that the caves, blessed lands, and secret realms that evolved from them are the lifelong collections of a single Dao master..."
Zhao Duo's eyes lit up as he listened to Bai Jingjing's words. According to Bai Jingjing, that was an ancient treasure trove! Just thinking about it, the treasure of an ancient Dao master must contain something extraordinary. Even if it were just trash, it would still be extremely valuable today. If he could find it himself...
As he thought about it, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but stop listening to Bai Jing's words, and his saliva almost flowed out. On the other hand, when Bai Jing saw Zhao Zhuo's appearance, she didn't laugh at him. After all, when she first heard about such things, she was just like Zhao Zhuo, fantasizing that one day she could discover a cave heaven or a secret realm.
Just as Zhao Zhuang was daydreaming, a nine-colored light burst out from the valley, but when it shot up into the sky, it was blocked by the seal set up by Ku Rong and others.
Juru Li looked at the column of light that pierced the sky, his face filled with anticipation: "This nine-colored pillar of light is still so dazzling. If we let it pierce through to the heavens, won't it attract everyone on the entire Death Island?"
As the light column gradually converged, a nine-colored vortex appeared in the void where the light column had disappeared, with its splendor flowing and turning, looking magnificent.
Hudeli gripped the large battle-axe tightly in his hand and was the first to plunge into the whirlpool, disappearing instantly. However, Mrs. Kuorong and the others were not surprised by Hudeli's disappearance at all, and followed him into the whirlpool.
Soon more than a dozen powerful men entered the Jiuhua secret realm, and Zhao Suo and Bai Jing, who had been hiding in the dark with bated breath, finally let out a sigh of relief.
"I finally got in, I was almost suffocated!"
Zhao Dahu took a deep breath, looking like he had just seen the light of day. Bai Qingqing was not much stronger than Zhao Dahu, after all, hiding among so many strong people was incredibly stressful.
Stretching their bodies, Zhao and Chu walked to the front of the seven-colored vortex, looking at the flowing colorful vortex: "Bai Jingjing, this secret realm is a small world after all. It's definitely vast and boundless. Those people like Ku Rong Po Po will surely disperse in different directions. After all, their strengths are not bad, but it seems that we two can only barely protect ourselves. If we disperse..."
Glancing at Zhao Zhuo, Bai Jing said: "If you want to say something, just speak directly"
Zhao Duo smiled and said, "My point is that it's best for us to be together, and think of a way to appear in the same place, so as to increase the possibility of gaining benefits. Otherwise, with our current strength, even if we can find benefits, we may not have the strength to obtain them. Isn't that right?"
Bai Jingyi acknowledged that Zhao Shuo's words were very reasonable, but seeing Zhao Shuo staring at her body made her frown and say: "What are you doing?"
Zhao Duo said: "I'm thinking whether it's holding hands or hugging..."
Bai Jingyu's eyes swept over, Zhao Zhuo hastily stopped and smiled, lowered his head to think for a moment. Bai Jingyu stretched out her small white hand like jade, grasped Zhao Zhuo's big hand and forced him to say: "You'd better be honest with me, otherwise I'll make you look good."
Zhao Duo felt Bai Jingjing's jade-like small hand and nodded with a look of enjoyment, saying: "Mmm, mmm, I'm very honest!"
