Chapter 569: A Lifeless Secret Realm

After confirming that everyone had memorized the appearance of the Wood Tooth Crystal, Ouyang Zhongjing withdrew his magical power! He then continued: "The quantity of plant-type spirit objects is actually traceable!

Generally, a Second-Tier spirit plant will bear at most twenty-four fruits, and a Third-Tier one, twelve.

As for a Fourth-Tier spirit plant, the greatest possibility is that it bears... so for every Wood Tooth Crystal, I will give one reward and one spot to enter the Outer Sect.

If someone can bring out all six Wood Tooth Crystals for me, I will give them six rewards and six entry spots, it's that simple!"

To Lin Zhangqing, this was not simple at all.

He believed that since Ouyang Zhongjing offered such generous rewards, this trip to the secret realm would definitely not be simple!

However, he wouldn't be a busybody and foolishly warn others; besides, others wouldn't listen to him. But he wasn't the only smart person! Song Junxue spoke up again at this moment: "Then, Senior Ouyang, after we enter the secret realm, how long can we stay inside, and how do we get out?"

Ouyang Zhongjing did not answer immediately upon hearing her question, but instead scanned everyone present before saying: "This secret realm is on the verge of collapse! Therefore, I do not know how long you can stay inside after entering.

But given the current state of this secret realm, it should no longer have the ability to expel you!

So after you enter, if you want to come out, you must find a way yourself, or wait until the secret realm collapses and seize the right moment to rush out! Therefore, the danger of this mission is extremely high, one could even say it is a life-of-nine-deaths situation, which is why I am willing to offer such high rewards!"

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured on everyone, and some even revealed expressions of fear!

After Ouyang Zhongjing glanced at them, he continued: "Of course, from the moment I found you, you had no way back!

So I said earlier that you were unlucky! Now, either go in and help me get the Wood Tooth Crystal out, or die here immediately; those are the only two paths!"

Lin Zhangqing felt a tightness in his heart upon hearing this, but he soon relaxed! After entering this secret realm, everyone would face a life-of-nine-deaths situation, but his chances were better than others because he still had Lin Changliu!

However, Lin Zhangqing estimated that he would only have one chance.

According to Ouyang Zhongjing, this secret realm on the verge of collapse should also be unable to withstand a Third-Tier Lin Changliu! So, unless absolutely necessary, he could not let Lin Changliu appear in the secret realm!

However, at this moment, Lin Zhangqing also reacted.

He understood why Ouyang Zhongjing, that old scoundrel, did not let the Medicine King Sect disciples execute this mission.

This mission was truly a life-of-nine-deaths situation! Talking about seizing the right moment to rush out—how many people could grasp that sliver of survival? It was likely very few!

The atmosphere at the scene was dull and tense, and everyone remained silent!

However, Lin Zhangqing asked: "Then, Senior Ouyang, can you provide us with a map of the secret realm?"

Ouyang Zhongjing glanced at him and shook his head: "The existence of this secret realm was deduced by myself through clues in some ancient books!

I only know that this secret realm was abandoned a long time ago, and I do not have a map of the inside!" Lin Zhangqing was not too surprised by this answer.

However, at this point, everyone could only go forward and not retreat! So Lin Zhangqing was the first to speak: "Senior Ouyang, this junior is willing to enter the secret realm to search for the Wood Tooth Crystal!"

But before he said this, he had already communicated with Lin Changliu, letting it quietly leave a spatial mark nearby.

Hearing Lin Zhangqing be the first to express his stance, Song Junxue followed suit, indicating her willingness to enter the secret realm! Then followed a series of expressions of willingness; all five hundred people indicated they were willing to enter the secret realm to search for the Wood Tooth Crystal! They were all Foundation Establishment cultivators with some experience; no one was a fool.

At this point, saying they wouldn't go in would surely mean death; going in to gamble might offer a sliver of survival! In the current situation, this was within Ouyang Zhongjing's expectations, and he was quite satisfied with everyone's sensibility.

So he nodded and said: "Rest assured, everyone! As long as someone can help me bring out the Wood Tooth Crystal, I will definitely fulfill my promise! Now, everyone follow me!"

After speaking, he waved his hand, undoing the restrictions on everyone.

He then led everyone toward the very center of the valley and cast a spell into the air.

A large formation immediately appeared in the center of the valley.

Ouyang Zhongjing then said to everyone: "In a moment, after I activate the formation, it will tear open an opening leading directly to that secret realm! You must all seize the time to rush in; if there are still people who haven't entered by the end, you can imagine the consequences yourselves!"

After speaking, he ignored everyone's reactions and began to continuously cast spells onto the formation, which soon reacted.

Magical power gathered in the center of the formation, and then a black dot slowly appeared, growing from small to large, finally forming a rotating passage about a zhang in size.

And through this passage, one could see the scene of yellow sand filling the sky inside! At this moment, Ouyang Zhongjing shouted loudly: "If not now, when?"

Lin Zhangqing did not hesitate and was the first to rush in, Song Junxue followed closely behind, and then the people behind scrambled to get in! They were afraid that if they were the last ones, they wouldn't be able to enter, and Ouyang Zhongjing certainly wouldn't keep them alive! After a brief moment of dizziness, Lin Zhangqing returned to normal.

He had experience with this situation and knew that this dizziness was definitely caused by random teleportation.

Not daring to be careless, he immediately opened his divine sense to the fullest, discovering that there was no danger within a few hundred zhang, but he dared not be lucky.

He immediately applied several layers of defense to himself, then flipped his hand, and the Thunder Horn appeared in his hand, and he began to inject thunder magical power, preparing the Geng Metal Divine Thunder.

After doing all this, he had the mood to carefully examine the surrounding environment.

The first feeling he got here was that it was very desolate, with no vegetation at all; it was an environment similar to the Gobi Desert!

The second feeling was that the spiritual energy in this secret realm space was truly very thin, likely not even one-third of the outside world! The third feeling was that there was no life here, but rather a lifeless, dead atmosphere.

Seeing this situation, it was no wonder this secret realm was abandoned by predecessors! (End of Chapter) ===== CHAPTER 570 =====
