Chapter 1068: Departure
Chapter 1068: Leaving
Xu Chuniang quickly checked the map of the treasures that the old man had passed on to her, and her face showed surprise, with these things, why worry about not being able to exchange the most Yin things?
The old man perceived the words, light said, “Do not be too happy too early, time has passed too long, the things here can be left one or two achievements is good, and with your strength, a lot of treasures is to want to take also can not take.”
Xu Chuniang was not discouraged, “It’s better than having nothing.”
The old man nodded and raised his right hand, condensing a strange silver colored rune in his palm.
As the rune solidified, the old man’s figure gradually became vaporized, a sign that his power was about to run out.
Before his figure became completely illusory, the silver-colored rune finally solidified, and the old man’s slightly tired voice rang out.
“This silver colored rune, was created by the old man himself, when you encounter danger in the secret realm, you only need to activate this rune, and you will be able to teleport to any place within a range of three thousand miles.
What you need to keep in mind is that the maximum number of times you can use this method to catalyze the rune to escape is no more than three times, in addition, you can also catalyze the rune to directly leave the secret realm or return to the secret realm, the number of times you can likewise not exceed three times.”
The silver-colored rune fell into Xu Chuniang’s palm, and then disappeared into obscurity.
She glanced at the place where the rune had disappeared and said softly, “I’ll make a note of it.”
The old man’s figure faded more and more, and his voice became ethereal.
“Remember, before your Immortal Dao and Demon Dao cultivation, reaches the Earth Immortal and Earth Demon after realm, don’t try to break the second seal, cultivate well, I’ll always be waiting for you.”
As the last words fell, the old man’s figure completely turned into nothingness and disappeared.
Watching the place where the old man was become empty, Xu Chuniang had a feeling of disappointment.
Since ascending, she had been earning Immortal Crystals and cultivating moment by moment, never stopping her footsteps.
Staying in the secret realm and focusing on cultivating her divine soul for these five years had actually allowed her to feel a trace of long-lost peace.
She suddenly remembered that after five years of being together, she didn’t even know what the old man’s name was, only that he came from the Soul Sorcerer clan.
But the peace was only temporary, she would eventually have to leave this secret realm.
Before leaving, she still had one more important thing to do, and that was to scour the canyon for treasures according to the treasure distribution map the old man had given her.
Thinking of those treasures in the canyon, the melancholy in Xu Chuniang’s heart vanished as she looked back at the calm, wave-free pool and turned to leave.
The distribution map of the treasures given by the old man was very detailed, and even the prohibitions around the treasures, as well as the method of breaking the prohibitions, were clearly written.
Following this guide, Xu Chuniang easily cracked a few of the prohibitions, but regrettably found that despite the heavy protection of the prohibitions, the treasures inside were still severely damaged, with not a single one in ten remaining.
However, the treasures that have survived to this day are all extraordinary, especially a kind of ore called Soul Ying Stone, which is very well preserved, much to Xu Chuniang’s surprise.
This kind of Soul Ying stone, can be directly used to strengthen the divine soul, because of its soul nourishing effect is amazing, coupled with the increasing scarcity of Soul Ying stone, its value has always been high.
Not to mention the rest, the value of these twenty to thirty Soul Ying Stones alone was worth as much as those nine pieces of Supreme Yin.
After finding the Soul Ying Stone, Xu Chuniang went to more than five or six places marked by the old man of the Soul Sorcerer Clan off and on, but not only did she get nothing, she also used up two chances to teleport with the silver talisman.
The silver talisman still had one last chance to teleport, so Xu Chunniang thought twice and finally decided to leave the secret realm.
The prohibitions that were easy to break had already been almost broken by her, and the remaining ones were not only troublesome to break, the possibility of encountering danger had also increased dramatically. In the future, when her cultivation level was higher, she would come back to break the rest of the restrictions.
By activating the silver talisman, one could directly leave or return to the secret realm, but the maximum number of times should not exceed three.
Xu Chuniang didn’t choose to directly activate the silver talisman to leave the secret realm, but instead planned to return to the Hundred Zhang Forest along the way she came, leaving from the entrance of the secret realm.
She returned to the canyon along the original path, releasing a wisp of the Soul Talisman’s aura, and after sensing the Soul Talisman’s aura, the prohibitions near the canyon silently grew a huge bubble that wrapped towards her.
Xu Chuniang didn’t resist and allowed the bubble to wrap around her, and in the next moment, the bubble easily penetrated the forbidden system and sent her out of the canyon.
She turned back to look, and after sending her out, the bubble reintegrated into the forbidden system, becoming one with it.
Xu Chuniang knew in her heart that the power of the forbidden system was far beyond what the current her could handle, and the only reason she was able to traverse the forbidden system with ease was entirely because of those soul talismans in her divine soul.
This was good, with this prohibition in place, it wouldn’t be so easy for others to enter the canyon.
On the way back, Xu Chuniang clearly felt that the number of cultivators who came to explore the secret realm had increased.
Five years ago, when she had followed the rabbit-eared female cultivator to the canyon, she hadn’t encountered half a dozen people on the way.
Today, five years later, she had spotted several sets of people in just half a day since leaving the canyon.
Relying on her powerful and sharp divine soul, Xu Chuniang sensed the presence of these people in advance, and without waiting to meet them face to face, she took a far detour to avoid them.
It was normal for this situation to occur.
When she had first come to the Wushui Mystic Realm, it had been less than a year since the secret realm had been discovered.
As the crowd’s understanding of the secret realm continued to grow, more and more cultivators, would flock into the secret realm.
Xu Chuniang secretly shook her head, that old man from the Soul Sorcerer Clan said with his mouth open that as long as she helped him lift the seal, the treasures in the entire secret realm would be at her disposal.
I’m afraid that before she could lift the seal, the secret realm would have already been scooped up by the demonic cultivators who had heard of it.
She once again raised her divine soul’s perception ability, carefully sensing the movements around her, and once she sensed other people’s soul breaths, she immediately took a detour.
After six or seven days of such tortuous traveling, Xu Chuniang smoothly crossed the Wubu River and returned to the Hundred Zhang Forest.
Along the way, since she had been using her divine soul all the time, her control over her divine soul had once again improved a bit, and she was even able to sense unfamiliar soul breaths thousands of miles away.
Even though the probing range of demonic thoughts was wider than the perception of divine souls, the demonic thoughts of other people weren’t weak either, and once they became entangled with someone else’s demonic thoughts, there was a high chance that they would reveal their position.
Replacing demonic thoughts with divine souls was much safer, after all, most cultivators’ divine souls had an extremely limited range of perception.
Relying on her divine soul’s perception, Xu Chuniang smoothly avoided the various cultivators and the ferocious beasts in the Hundred Zhang Forest, and left the secret realm from the entrance she came from.
Just after stepping out of the secret realm, a wave of heat instantly surrounded her, it was the never-ending fire in Fire Dan Mountain.
She mobilized her magic qi to isolate the flames, and after identifying the direction, she evaded towards the direction where the mountain fire was weakening.
