The daily life of a max-level immortal cultivator

Chapter 19 Departure to the Shangyuan Secret Realm

Three days later, as expected, the same few popular figures from previous years took the top five spots in the inner sect competition.

However, several dark horses emerged this year, and Lu Xihan was one of them.

In the novel that Lu Xiaohan knew, Lu Xihan had been in the outer sect for several years, and her performance in several inner sect competitions was mediocre and did not cause any waves. However, she was involved in all sorts of messy things and always caused some gossip.

But this very person shone brightly in this competition, overcoming all obstacles to secure eighth place in the finals.

This caused a great deal of speculation among people, who wondered if she had received guidance from some master and had suddenly become enlightened. Otherwise, how could someone with a useless spiritual root have cultivated to the Foundation Establishment stage? Reaching Foundation Establishment at the age of nineteen would be considered an exceptionally talented achievement within the Xuanshan Sect.

The elders summoned Lu Xihan twice to test whether he had been possessed, but they found nothing.

Liu Xingxing commented that if they could find anything out about that piece of trash and broken stone in the main hall, then the novel would end there. What would happen next? Lu Xihan has a cheat code; he can easily block out abnormal existences.

However, she didn't intend to point out Lu Xihan's abnormality. After all, Lu Xihan hadn't done anything to harm Xuanshan Sect in the story, and later he was an important member of the main force protecting the sect. Liu Xingxing really didn't need to interfere.

After the competition, Lu Xihan became the subject of discussion among the disciples, with the level of discussion even surpassing that of the top few in the competition. Perhaps this is what is known as the "protagonist effect".

Unsurprisingly, this also caught the attention of Lu Xihan's future best friend, foreshadowing their upcoming meeting in the secret realm.

And so, amidst these harmless rumors, the day the Shangyuan Secret Realm opened quietly arrived.

Liu Xingxing has been spending the last two days in the library researching the Shangyuan Secret Realm, and has therefore missed the final competition.

The descriptions in the novel are ultimately too thin and narrow. She must make thorough preparations, otherwise she will be like a fool with all her skills but standing still. Liu Xingxing can still distinguish between small and big matters. There are many things she needs to understand in order to be prepared for any eventuality.

For example, why are people with too high a cultivation level not allowed to enter such a secret realm? If people with a cultivation level of Nascent Soul or above forcibly enter, it will cause the secret realm to collapse, but no book can explain why.

"Then how did that young demon lord get in?"

Liu Xingxing was racking her brains over the books scattered on the floor.

The Shangyuan Secret Realm in the text did indeed collapse later, but it was because Lu Xihan obtained the inheritance. The secret realm was supported by that inheritance. When the inheritance was gone, there was no support, so the secret realm collapsed. This also covered up the fact that some members of the demon race had entered it.

That young demon lord seems to be about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. The novel describes an internal strife within the demon race at this time. He was stabbed in the back by a traitor during his advancement and almost died. He was chased all the way and had no choice but to hide in the secret realm.

The Shangyuan Secret Realm opens once every three years, and is only open for one month each time. It is full of treasures and monsters, making it a good place for disciples of all families to train.

Each time the secret realm opens, each sect selects a group of disciples to enter. However, to ensure fairness, each sect agrees to send only ten people in, making this spot quite precious.

Most sects will be there at that time, and the elders escorting the disciples are mostly at the Nascent Soul stage. This kind of small scene is not worth the attention of those at the Deity Transformation stage. No wonder that young demon lord could take advantage of the situation so brazenly and make those who were chasing him dare not make a move easily.

With so many people involved, they're bound to be discovered if they make a move.

Liu Xingxing pondered for a while, then suddenly realized a blind spot.

"Injured..."

The secret realm didn't react, presumably because they mistook the young demon lord, whose demonic power was depleted and on the verge of death, for someone with low cultivation.

"if it is like this……"

That's easy.

Liu Xingxing's eyes lit up.

Basic cultivation level disguise won't work, but who is she? She's Liu Jun, a half-step immortal!

This secret realm is like a scanner; all you have to do is fool it.

The simplest way would be to lower one's cultivation level, but Liu Xingxing is not stupid. It took her thousands of years to reach this level. If she were to lower her cultivation level, Liu Jun would be turning in his grave. It's not worth it for a worthless herb.

The second method is to use up all the spiritual energy, then cover the dantian with a layer of mist disguise, and then put on a few magic treasures that can disguise it. Liu Xingxing doesn't believe that with her assets, she can't even handle a small secret realm.

When we leave the secret realm, we can gather up the spiritual energy again.

There are more than just the Marrow Cleansing Herb in the secret realm. Anyway, it will collapse in the end. It would be a pity if other treasures were buried before they even saw the light of day.

Although it's a bit shameless to go to Taobao with a bunch of younger people, those are treasures! Who doesn't love treasures?

Liu Xingxing began her plan with great confidence.

The day before the opening of the Shangyuan Secret Realm, the ten winners of the competition were ready to go.

The team leader, Elder Qian Cheng, together with Zhou Guang, launched a magical spaceship. After infusing it with spiritual power to change it to the appropriate size, they gave the order for everyone to board the ship.

The Shangyuan Secret Realm is located far from the Xuanshan Gate, in the Yunhai Bitian area on the southern border of the Yuanzhou Continent. It can only be reached by airship. Many known secret realms also frequently appear there.

In addition to the two elders, more than ten other True Immortals accompanied the disciples to escort them there.

There's not much danger in the Shangyuan Secret Realm, but what if you get robbed on the road while traveling? After all, there have been more and more robbers in recent centuries.

This spaceship travels at a speed a hundred times faster than ordinary flying magical artifacts, and can reach its destination in less than a day. The disciples who were on the ship for the first time were extremely curious, and they were also a little dizzy looking at the ever-changing scene below the ship.

This was Lu Xihan's first time traveling far from home since arriving in this world; no, it should be the first time she left the Xuanshan Sect.

Compared to the rapidly changing scene outside, Lu Xihan was more curious about why the ship could fly so fast, even faster than modern high-speed trains and airplanes.

Lu Xihan really liked this kind of mode of transportation, but right now she had nothing but a bracelet, so it seemed she would have to add another goal to her future efforts.

On the other side of the spaceship, Wei Qiushuang was discussing with Su Jiangling which spiritual herbs and treasures they should look for after entering the secret realm.

Wei Qiushuang said in a light tone, "Senior brother, you're about to break through too. I heard before that there's a Crimson Grass in the Recurring Forest of the Secret Realm. Now that I think it's about time, how about we go find the Crimson Grass this time?"

Su Jiangling hesitated for a moment: "Then where is the jade ore essence you need for forging the sword, Junior Sister? We couldn't find it in the Black Mine last time, so it will probably take some time to find it this time as well."

Wei Qiushuang added, "It's alright. Top-grade jade ore essence isn't something you can just find anytime. But if you miss out on the Crimson Sacred Fruit, you'll have to wait another ten years or so before it can ripen again. Otherwise, you'll have to go to the auction house to find it. Yours is more important."

After thinking for a while, Su Jiangling accepted it: "I'm sure many people will be vying for this Crimson Sacred Fruit..."

Wei Qiushuang's eyes revealed a hint of arrogance: "It's alright, let's hurry up and go. Besides, there will definitely be demonic beasts guarding the high-grade immortal medicine. The fruit is good, but not just anyone can take it."

Su Jiangling and I were both geniuses within the sect; I should have been her disciple under the sect leader back then…

There are others her age on the continent of Yuanzhou, but their strength may not be comparable to hers.

……

Liu Xingxing announced early on that she had gone on another trip, but in reality, she secretly set off for Yunhai Bitian on the same day as the main characters.

However, this time she didn't use her usual leaf-shaped flying device, as it was too slow and she didn't know when she would arrive. She also thought that it was time to put the little snake in the ring to use, so she sent a wisp of her divine sense into it.

Well, you wouldn't believe it until you see it – this spendthrift has used up most of the high-grade spirit stones in less than a month!

The few demon cores that she had casually picked up were also swept away. The little bump on its head seemed to have grown into two sharp horns. Liu Xingxing suddenly felt that her family's wealth was in jeopardy.

However, it was indeed obedient, and not a single mid-grade spirit stone was missing from the pile next to it. For the first time, Liu Xingxing experienced the feeling of heartache.

"Still sleeping? Get up and get to work!"

Liu Xingxing saw the little snake sleeping lazily on the spirit stone and shouted.

The little snake immediately perked up when it felt a chill.

"Coming, coming, Master!"

As soon as the ring was released, the little snake's body immediately became enormous, and Liu Xingxing had another headache.

"Shrink a little, do you want to destroy everything along the way?"

The little snake immediately obeyed and shrank considerably. Liu Xingxing flew up and stood on its head, then said, "Let's go to Yunhai Bitian."

"Okay!"
