Chapter 1797: Shared Secret Realm

Xu Jie and the five of them had long grown accustomed to Ye Zhangqing's child's-play breakthrough method; it was nothing surprising.

But every time they saw Ye Zhangqing's breakthrough as easy as eating and drinking, they still felt sour inside.

As fellow disciples, making a breakthrough was terribly troublesome for oneself—not only did one need to prepare thoroughly, but also had to enter closed-door cultivation, prepare pills, heavenly treasures, and so on.

Moreover, one even needed someone to stand guard; the whole process could be described as interlocking rings.

But with Ye Zhangqing, it's just the time to drink a sip of water and he breakthroughs—who can you reason with about that?

So, Xu Jie and the others, even to this day, whenever they see Ye Zhangqing breakthrough, they still can't help feeling envious.

They also want to experience a breakthrough as easy as eating and drinking once.

Meanwhile, this Guo family sequence disciple, upon hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, twitched the corner of his mouth and then forced an extremely unnatural smile as he spoke.

"Congratulations, Young Master Ye. Then today, Young Master Ye should rest and recuperate; tomorrow we will all enter the secret realm together."

"Thank you."

Upon hearing that, Ye Zhangqing smiled and bowed his hands in thanks.

He didn't linger long, not knowing if he had been struck down.

If I remember correctly, when Ye Zhangqing first arrived at the Guo family, his cultivation seemed to be at the Great Accomplishment of Emperor, or perhaps the Small Accomplishment of Emperor—I can't recall.

But in just how long? In the blink of an eye, he had reached the Emperor Sovereign Realm, catching up to these sequence disciples of theirs.

Are people from the lower realm all this formidable now? Is their cultivation speed this fast?

What's more outrageous is that, it's said Ye Zhangqing hasn't even gone to the family treasure house to collect cultivation resources.

The Three Ancestors and the Family Head had long prepared cultivation resources for Ye Zhangqing, yet Ye Zhangqing never went to collect them.

Without cultivation resources, his cultivation speed is already outrageous; compared to that, the aptitude of these sequence disciples seems weak.

But when the Fifth Elder personally tested Ye Zhangqing's aptitude back then, it seemed to be middling upper.

And there is still a clear gap compared to those sequence disciples of theirs.

But damn, you call that middling upper aptitude? If that's middling upper, then what are they?

In short, when that Guo family sequence disciple left, he felt a mix of emotions, feeling off, absolutely off.

He rather felt as if he had been struck down.

Seeing off that sequence disciple, Ye Zhangqing turned to Xu Jie and the five of them and said.

"Senior brother, do you want to go to the treasure house to collect some cultivation resources? My cultivation resources haven't been collected either; I'll give them all to you at that time."

"Huh???"

The cultivation resources the Guo family gave Xu Jie and the five of them certainly can't compare to his own, and Ye Zhangqing is well aware of that.

Anyway, he doesn't strictly need cultivation resources; whether useful or not, it's better to take them and give them to Xu Jie and the others to help them cultivate.

Upon hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, Xu Jie and the five of them felt moved, yet besides that, they also had some other strange feelings they couldn't put into words.

"Good."

Besides, they were all from the same sect, so Xu Jie wasn't polite and gritted his teeth, nodding in agreement.

Immediately, everyone packed up and then went together to the Guo family treasure house.

The Guo family's Three Ancestors and Family Head had indeed long prepared various cultivation resources for Ye Zhangqing, and among them were truly not a few treasures precious even in the Immortal Realm.

It's just that Ye Zhangqing had never come to collect them before.

This time, bringing Xu Jie and the five of them, the state strong persons guarding the Family Head's treasure house, upon seeing Ye Zhangqing, had the same expression.

Originally they wanted to greet him, but upon suddenly sensing Ye Zhangqing's cultivation realm, the two Guo family strong persons were both taken aback.

"You broke through?"

"Thanks to the senior's blessings, I, the junior, managed a fluke breakthrough."

"Huh???"

"This kid didn't collect resources, and he's already at the Emperor Sovereign Realm?"

Just like that previous sequence disciple, this breakthrough speed is also too fast, isn't it?

However, those cultivation resources had been greeted in advance by the Three Ancestors and the Family Head; now that Ye Zhangqing came to collect them, the two were shocked in heart but still straightforwardly gave them to Ye Zhangqing.

The same went for Xu Jie and the five of them.

However, the cultivation resources of the five of them, even added together, amount to less than one-tenth of Ye Zhangqing's—a huge disparity.

Having collected the cultivation resources, Ye Zhangqing respectfully bade farewell to the two Guo family strong persons; the fellow disciples returned to their lodgings, and Ye Zhangqing, without the slightest reluctance, tossed the cultivation resources he had previously taken from the Guo family treasure house to Xu Jie.

"Senior brother, you all divide it up yourselves."

"Good."

Upon hearing that, Xu Jie also wasn't polite and nodded in agreement.

After a comfortable night's sleep, early the next morning, that Guo family sequence disciple from yesterday came running over early.

Seeing that Ye Zhangqing and his senior brothers were all ready, without further ado he immediately spoke.

"Let's go, the entrance to the secret realm is about to open."

"Good, thank you for the trouble, senior brother."

Ye Zhangqing nodded and said.

Following behind that Guo family sequence disciple, Ye Zhangqing and his fellow disciples soon arrived at a certain uninhabited small island.

This small island lies deep within the Guo family's Hundred Islands; along the way, it was filled with various seals, formations, and many Guo family strong persons standing guard.

The guard was extremely strict.

By the time Ye Zhangqing's party arrived, another seven Guo family sequence disciples were already waiting there.

They had all met Ye Zhangqing before, regardless of familiarity; anyway, they had all come to Island 78 to eat.

Thus, at this moment they all nodded to each other in acknowledgment.

Among them, the leader even took the initiative to speak.

Alright, everyone's gathered, the entrance is open, Young Master Ye, you just follow us.

Okay.

Apart from those in closed-door cultivation or not belonging to the family's sequence disciples, everyone else is here.

When the Mi Jing opens, those qualified to enter are without exception the Guo family's sequence disciples; ordinary Guo Jia Zi Di have no qualification to enter.

And the three ancestors still gave Ye Zhangqing and them a full six slots.

On the island, they didn't wait long; soon, as a pillar of light descended from the sky at the island's center.

Immediately, a light gate over five meters high formed on the ground, and the entrance to this Mi Jing finally opened.

This light gate did not rise from the Guo family's small path, but descended from the horizon.

This is also because this Mi Jing does not solely belong to the Guo family, but is jointly owned by several major powers.

The Guo family also only occupies a part of it.

However, even so, this Mi Jing is of great help to their younger generation's Xiūliàn.

Putting it this way, below the Ancestor Realm, entering this Mi Jing basically allows a qualitative transformation.

Moreover, the part of this Mi Jing controlled by the Guo family is related to the Dao heart.

As the entrance gradually formed, the Guo family sequence disciple standing side by side with Ye Zhangqing also explained the situation of this Mi Jing in detail to Ye Zhangqing.

Facing this sequence disciple's words, Ye Zhangqing listened attentively, occasionally nodding in response; Xu Jie and the others did the same, remaining silent without interjecting, focusing on listening.
