Chapter 313 – Tian Yuan Secret Realm
Chapter 313: The Secret Realm of the Heavenly Yuan
But Xu Chuniang did not expect, this wait, then waited a full three months.
During this period of time, see Zhuge Yun’s body is better, but he favored the Taoist heart is damaged, closed the door all day.
Xu Chuniang could not stand it any longer, and finally, one day, she approached Zhuge Yun again.
Compared to three months ago, his condition was much better, but he still looked a bit sickly, and his eyes were lifeless, as if he had lost hope in cultivation.
Xu Chuniang was slightly stunned when she saw him in this state.
Just thinking about the progress of the commission that had been severely slowed down, her heart was inevitably upset, and her words were not very polite.
“Senior brother is still alive.”
Only after a long interval did Zhuge Yun’s gaze fall on her, his voice sounding as if it had drifted from a very distant place.
“Hm. It’s hard for you to remember me as a …… toad.”
Xu Chuniang’s eyes revealed a look of dismay, this person lying in front of her eyes, was it really Zhuge Yun?
She pressed the vaguely throbbing corner of her forehead, “Senior brother’s injuries should be all healed up, why don’t we go up Wind Weeping Mountain tomorrow? We have already been delayed in Mixed Yuan City for too long.”
Originally thinking that Zhuge Yun would refuse, she did not expect him to agree.
“Well, there’s no point in me living as a toad anyway, Wind Weeping Mountain is my final destination. Senior brother, even if he dies, he will still help you guys fulfill your commission …… cough cough.”
At those words, Xu Chuniang’s eyelids heaved.
Why did she feel that Zhuge Yun had gotten a little sicker?
“Since senior brother is not feeling well, let’s rest for now, don’t think any more nonsense, and I hope that senior brother recovers soon.”
After saying these words, Xu Chuniang pinched her brows and left.
Zhuge Yun, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes, a helpless look in his eyes.
There were still three months to go before the Tian Yuan Mysterious Realm, so it seemed that he would have to be a toad for at least three more months.
When Xu Chuniang returned to her room, she heard Huo Chunyan’s question.
“How is it, is senior brother feeling better?”
Because the price of the room was too exorbitant, Huo Chunyan checked out and shared the room with Xu Chunniang after Zhuge Yun was injured.
As soon as she heard these words, Xu Chuniang remembered what Zhuge Yun had said earlier, “Demoralized and without fighting spirit. The damage to the dao heart is even worse than I imagined.”
“Alas, Senior Brother Zhuge is also too pitiful. Suffering such a heavy blow, or in front of Senior Sister Shangguan, it’s normal that he won’t be able to slow down for a while, I can understand that.”
Huo Chunyan sighed, her face showing sympathy, “He’s been recuperating in bed these past few days, but Senior Sister Shangguan is in and out with that Xie Changyuan, it’s too tragic. ……”
Xu Chuniang didn’t say anything, taking out the spirit wine and drinking it unhurriedly.
She was considering the feasibility of using the Bone Shrinking Yi Qi Gong to change into Zhuge Yun’s appearance and then lead a few people to Wind Weeping Mountain.
But in the end, she dismissed the idea, her Foundation Establishment fourth level cultivation was uncovered, and she was too far removed from Zhuge Yun’s Foundation Establishment eighth level to be seen through at a glance.
Huo Chunyan excitedly says a bunch of things, but realizes that the people around her are unmoved, so she can’t help but pat her.
“Are you even listening to me?”
Xu Chunyan returned to her senses, “You mean the secret realm?”
“Not bad, there is a secret realm in Mixed Yuan City, which has traditionally been in the hands of the City Lord’s Mansion. The secret realm opens at an indeterminate time each time, but I heard from someone a few days ago that the next time will be in these few months.”
Huo Chunyan speaks the news she heard, “It just so happens that Senior Brother Zhuge is going to be recuperating from his injuries and won’t be able to get better for a while, so it’s just as well that we can go to the secret realm and explore it.”
The secret realm of the City Lord’s Mansion, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be easy to get in, right?
Xu Chuniang’s gaze flickered slightly, “Are there any conditions for traveling to the secret realm?” “Naturally there are, first is the cultivation level of the entrant, which can only be at the Foundation Establishment stage. This secret realm is called the Tian Yuan secret realm, it’s much bigger than the Little Ze Realm, so the number of people who can enter will be similarly larger.”
Huo Chunyan has been poking around for the past few days since she learned about the Tian Yuan Secret Realm, and it has allowed her to ask around quite a bit.
“Wanting to enter the Heavenly Enlightenment Mystic Realm is simple, you only need to pay 10,000 spirit stones like the City Lord’s Mansion in exchange for the Key of the Heavenly Enlightenment to enter. Of course you can sneak in without the Key of the Apocalypse, but that would be too dangerous.”
Xu Chuniang listened for a while and almost understood, this Apocalypse Mystery Realm was in the hands of the City Lord’s Mansion, and they had come up with something called the Key of the Apocalypse.
Holding this Key of the Apocalypse was the only way to safely enter the secret realm, otherwise it was easy to be targeted by the things in the secret realm.
“Sounds and feels pretty good.”
Xu Chuniang was a bit moved, the secret realm was often accompanied by great crises, which also meant amazing rewards.
The timing of each opening of the Apocalypse Mystery Realm was randomized, sometimes at intervals of a dozen years, sometimes at intervals of hundreds of years.
Like this time, there was a full eighty years between the last opening.
“I knew you would be interested. Anyway, our commissioned mission has been delayed for so long, so it’s not too bad for this moment.”
Huo Chunyan smiled in a good mood.
“It’s our luck that we were able to catch the opening of the Heavenly Origin Mystic Realm. Speaking of which, it’s also thanks to Senior Brother Zhuge being seriously injured, otherwise we’d have to lose touch with this Heavenly Origin Mystic Realm.”
Xu Chuniang was pondering, Shangguan Xue had successfully hunted the Yuan Devouring Beast some days ago.
However, she still stayed in the City Lord’s Mansion without leaving.
Could it be that she already knew that the Tianyuan Mystic Realm was about to open?
Xu Chuniang thought that this guess was very likely, and that Xie Changyuan was interested in Shangguan Xue, perhaps revealing certain information.
She recalled what the Demon Soul had said, that Demon Souls and Demon Souls could not sense or communicate with each other as independent individuals.
But if she could create an opportunity to be alone with Shangguan Xue, she might be able to discover some clues.
Seeing Xu Chuniang decide to go with her to the secret realm, Huo Chunyan was clearly excited.
“Let’s go, let’s go ask Zhang Yu and Zhao Xing San now, if the two of them go, we can also have more certainty.”
Regarding the Tian Yuan Secret Realm, Zhang Yu and Zhao Xing San did not know anything about it.
After learning about it from Huo Chunyan, Zhang Yu agreed to join without much hesitation, after all, this kind of thing can be encountered but not missed.
Zhao Xing San was equally moved, but only hesitated when he thought of Zhuge Yun, who was bedridden and nurturing his Taoist heart.
“Should we talk to Senior Brother Zhuge and go with him?”
Xu Chuniang thought of what Zhuge Yun had said today, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, “It’s not necessary.”
There were countless crises in the secret realm, and with Zhuge Yun’s empty cultivation but no fighting spirit, it would be too dangerous.
“Would it not be too good for the four of us to go and leave Senior Brother Zhuge alone here?”
“What’s not good about it, Xiang Yun Inn is safe, and a thin camel is bigger than a horse, no matter how you say it, senior brother is also a great cultivator in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.”
“Alright, then it’s settled, while there’s still some time left, it’s time to make preparations as soon as possible.”
Zhao Xing San finally didn’t resist the temptation brought by the secret realm and made a decision.
Zhuge Yun didn’t know that while he was lying on his bed, several of his senior siblings made a bold decision to head to the Tian Yuan Secret Realm behind his back.
