Chapter 516 The Secret Realm is Open, Charge!
Chapter 516 The Secret Realm is Open, Charge!
The next day, the three siblings got up very early and arrived at the City Lord's Mansion teleportation hall, where there were already quite a few people queuing up.
"My goodness, there are people who were here even earlier than us?" Wen Chengbin muttered to himself. "Are all the people here incredibly prescient?"
"Big brother, second brother, look," Wenwen said, pointing to the people at the front of the line.
The three people at the front of the group were from the neighboring courtyard. They were neighbors, and having lived there for so long, they had bumped into each other and exchanged greetings, so they knew each other.
Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin happened to look up and made eye contact with the tall Chen Jiutou in front of them. They greeted each other as soon as they met.
"Fellow Daoists, we meet again. What brings you here? Heading to the Misty Forest?"
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Chen, what about you?"
"We did too. We heard yesterday that many people went early, so we thought we'd go early to reserve a spot."
Just then, a sneer came from behind them, "Oh ho, you're really overestimating yourselves. Do you think you can just walk into the Stream Leaf Secret Realm like that? Why don't you take a good look at yourselves first..."
Before he could finish speaking, Fellow Daoist Chen retorted, "Leng Ba Tiao, don't think that just because your elder brother has connections, you'll have a chance to sneak in. Maybe in the end, I'll have more opportunities than you! Humph, you short, ugly, faceless bastard!"
"Hmph, you Chen Jiutou, you and your two lackeys just wait and see!"
After saying that, Leng Ba Tiao turned and left angrily.
After the others had walked away, Wen Chengbin asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist Chen, is what he said true? The Xiye Secret Realm is very difficult to enter."
See, this is what it means to pretend to be ignorant when you know the truth.
Fellow Daoist Chen, unsuspecting, enthusiastically shared his knowledge with everyone: "As we all know, secret realms are usually entered with jade tokens or talismans. The jade tokens held by disciples of major sects are all issued by the sects. In this respect, having a major sect as a backer means that the opportunities are indeed incomparable to those of us rogue cultivators."
"However, the Creek Leaf Secret Realm is different." Chen Jiutou then left the question a secret.
"What's the difference?" The Wen siblings looked at him curiously.
After someone responded, Chen Jiu began to explain in detail.
It turns out that there was a mishap when the Xiye Secret Realm opened last time.
When the secret realm opened, many people rushed in. Of course, those with jade tokens entered smoothly. Some were in groups of three, while others were alone.
Many who tried to sneak in without a jade token were thrown out of the secret realm in less than three breaths, no matter how many times they tried.
However, just as the secret realm was about to close, a few rogue cultivators risked their lives for one last try and actually managed to break in. In the end, these rogue cultivators not only came out safely, but also encountered a great opportunity inside.
After they came out, they wrote a memoir about the Xiye Secret Realm. With this memoir, they made a fortune, and not long after, they successfully established their foundation!
"So? What are your thoughts after listening?" Chen Jiu asked the three Wen siblings with a smile.
"Longing, envy, and, well, jealousy!"
After Wen Chengbin finished speaking, he burst into laughter.
Just then, the line began to move forward.
"Hey, the teleportation hall's open!" Chen Jiutou shouted. "Guys, let's go first, good luck everyone!"
The teleportation array can transport thirty people at a time. Chen Jiu and his group arrived early and were in the first group, while Wenwen and her group were in the second group.
When Wenwen and the others arrived at the Misty Forest Teleportation Hall, it was still past Chen Shi (7-9 AM).
The group left the teleportation hall and rushed towards the inner perimeter of the Misty Forest without stopping.
With Aying as the scout leading the way, the group easily avoided monsters and reached the inner edge of the forest.
A quarter of an hour later, the group arrived at a stone wall. Aying pointed to the top of the wall and said, "Master, there is a stone cave up there. It's a good place, and I guarantee it's safe and secure."
The three siblings looked at the towering stone cave that seemed to reach into the clouds, and silently swallowed their breath.
Okay, it has wings, so it calls the shots!
The three siblings exchanged glances, and in unison, they leaped up one after another, quickly reaching the location of the stone cave.
After checking the cave and finding no monsters or other dangers, they quickly tidied up before sitting down with peace of mind.
And you know what? The view from the cave entrance is pretty good; you can clearly see the situation of the whirlpool in the heart of the forest.
The vortex is now spinning much faster than before, and the fog around it is much thicker. If you look closely, you can see a few streaks of blue-green light flowing back and forth in the fog.
It's really changed a lot compared to a month ago.
Time slowly passed while we waited.
one day.
Two days.
On the third day, as the sun set, a breathtaking sunset painted the sky.
Suddenly, two beams of blue-green light shot out from the vortex, illuminating the entire inner center of the forest. The swirling vortex showed severe distortions, as if tearing space apart. A small white dot appeared at the center of the vortex, and it gradually grew larger until it revealed a dark entrance.
"The secret realm has opened!"
"Ah—Charge—"
"Quick, go inside!"
With shouts, the cultivators waiting outside rushed towards the entrance like a swarm of bees.
In an instant, the area around the dark cave entrance was crowded with people; as far as the eye could see, there were people everywhere.
"Wow, are they making dumplings?" Wen Chengbin exclaimed in surprise.
Wen Chengjian was also astonished, "Half of Hongxiao City has come?"
Aying jumped onto Wenwen's shoulder and shouted, "Master, come on, what are you standing there for?"
Wenwen withdrew her surprised gaze and solemnly said to her two older brothers, "Big brother, second brother, be very careful. If we get separated after we go in, remember to meet up with us in the cave on the north side of the secret realm."
"Don't worry, little sister, your older brother/second brother will remember this," the two brothers said in unison.
Those with jade tokens entered the secret realm smoothly, while those without tokens were ruthlessly thrown out. Amidst the chaos, Wenwen, holding her two brothers' hands on either side, leaped towards the entrance.
Wenwen felt that as soon as they approached the entrance, they were suddenly pulled in by a powerful suction force, and then everything went dark, as if they had been pushed into a dark space.
After a moment, light returned to his eyes.
Wenwen stood in front of a stone forest and looked around. It was very quiet, and there wasn't a soul in sight.
Sure enough, after entering, they were assigned to different groups.
She released Aying. "Aying, tell me, should we go find your former master first or go to the cave in the north to meet up with your brothers?"
"Huh?" Aying asked uncertainly, "Master, don't you care about the things here? Shouldn't you plunder them first?"
Wenwen glanced at it sideways, thinking to herself, "Did she say she didn't care? Did she say that? She's really not cute at all, always bringing up the most awkward things."
However, there are priorities. If we take care of what Ah Ying is thinking about first, and then focus on our looting without any distractions, wouldn't we be able to relax and be happier?
Having figured this out, Wenwen simply said, "Don't worry about anything else for now, take me to find your former owner first!"
She paused for a moment, then continued, "By the way, do you remember where your former owner was?"
"of course I remember."
As soon as she finished speaking, Aying raised her head and took flight, "Master, let's go!"
(PS: This story will be finished soon. It's my first novel, and I'm so glad I've been able to keep it going. It wouldn't have been possible without the support and encouragement of my fellow readers.)
