Chapter 399: The Mysterious and Pit-Digging Master

However, the two men's loss of composure only lasted for a short while.

Situ Chengdao was the reason, quickly comforting himself by saying that his Great Dao was not simple, and that after reaching the Fusion Dao Realm, one could originally only bear one Great Dao.

No need, there was really no need!

In the end, everyone was the same anyway!

As for Ye Bai, he had somewhat adapted and had come to terms with it!

There were still many opportunities!

The Time Great Dao, although according to what Zhuge Cuicui said after he asked her once, was an absolutely powerful Great Dao, and in the past years, no one had ever comprehended it.

But the Great Dao he had comprehended now was not bad either!

Moreover, the System Store would update in the future, and he believed that sooner or later he could obtain the desired Time Great Dao.

"Continue!"

Therefore, the two quickly adjusted and decided to continue climbing the mountain path before them.

They had already climbed halfway up!

Only the last half remained before they could reach the summit of Langlang Mountain!

And then they would know the two pieces of intelligence they had been desperate to obtain a month ago!

However.

Just as the two wanted to continue upward.

"Whoosh!"

The figure of Zhuge Cuicui suddenly appeared on the mountain path again!

"Second Senior Sister, are you here to bring us food so early today?"

Situ Chengdao was stunned after seeing Zhuge Cuicui clearly, then transmitted his voice.

Because of the accumulation over the past month, the two could now not only sit cross-legged on the mountain steps normally, but could also use Mental Power to transmit voices over short distances.

And over the past month, Zhuge Cuicui would come to find them every day, chatting with them while delivering food.

Therefore, the relationship between the three had become much closer than it was a month ago.

And because of this, although Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao had not yet officially been to the mountain top, they already knew many things about the other senior brothers!

"Two Junior Brothers, Senior Sister is not here to bring you food today~"

Zhuge Cuicui just gave a mysterious smile.

"It has been a month, and according to Master's wishes, I am to send you to that place."

"Master also said that once you go there, you must perform well and not tarnish the reputation of Langlang Mountain!"

Then, she spoke!

One month after Ye Bai and the other entered Langlang Mountain, they needed to be sent to a place; this was something already decided before Zhuge Cuicui brought Ye Bai and the other back!

This was also the reason why Zhuge Cuicui and the disciples of Langlang Mountain had previously made a bet, agreeing that it would end after one month!

"Second Senior Sister..."

Ye Bai was stunned, wanting to ask for clarification on the situation.

If possible, he really did not want to leave Langlang Mountain, because the top priority was still to reach the summit and then obtain the intelligence he wanted.

"Pat, pat!"

Zhuge Cuicui had already moved!

Just like a month ago when she brought Ye Bai and the other to Langlang Mountain, she used one small hand each to grab the collars of Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao's clothes.

Then, she directly carried the two of them as she sprinted all the way down Langlang Mountain, and then leaped straight up from the flat ground!

"No, not again?!"

The two of them had a subconscious stress response at this moment.

Zhuge Cuicui's past actions were still fresh in their memories!

Fortunately, the next moment they realized that Zhuge Cuicui had split off a portion of her power this time to form a Protective Shield at their sides.

Only then did the two heave a sigh of relief.

At the same time, their inner confusion grew deeper.

Where exactly were they going? Why was it still mandatory, just like when they first entered Langlang Mountain?

"Second Senior Sister, what does Master want us to do?" They asked Zhuge Cuicui directly.

"A Secret Realm."

Zhuge Cuicui did not intend to hide it from the two, and this time she explained the matter clearly to them.

Every hundred years, the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path would send elites below the Third Step to enter; it was both a trial and a Secret Realm Trial to showcase the natural talent of their respective younger generations!

Upon learning where they were going, Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao actually breathed a sigh of relief!

So they were just going to meet other Second Step cultivators!

That was fine!

Even though they realized in an instant that while it was said to be limited to below the Third Step, that Secret Realm could absolutely not have any existence from the Mortal Realm, and in fact, there was a 99.9% chance that there wouldn't even be many Second Step Peak, Dao Foundation First Stage, or Second Stage cultivators!

After all, they had previously killed a Second Step Peak demonic cultivator.

Plus the gains from the month on Langlang Mountain, they were confident that even if they were not a match for other Second Step Peak demonic cultivators, they would not encounter any danger!

They also felt that their mysterious Master must want to verify exactly what the two had gained over the past month!

"But to be honest, two Junior Brothers, I actually don't know why Master made such an arrangement.

Because the Secret Realm Trial that the Righteous and Demonic paths enter together is actually limited to cultivators below the Fourth Step, but because our Langlang Mountain disciples are seen by outside cultivators as... so in the past, Langlang Mountain has never sent disciples to participate in any similar events; this is the first time."

Zhuge Cuicui said with an unreadable expression at the end.

Hearing this, the two suddenly felt their expressions tighten again.

It was not the first time Zhuge Cuicui had spoken about how cultivators from the outside world viewed the disciples of Langlang Mountain.

It was just that Zhuge Cuicui had not made her words clear, and because their eyes had only been on reaching the summit at the time, they had never pressed for details.

At this moment, their intuition told them: something was wrong!

This trip to the Secret Realm was definitely not as simple as they had imagined!

"Second Senior Sister, you keep saying how we are viewed by outside cultivators; could you... explain it more clearly?"

After Situ Chengdao exchanged a look with Ye Bai, he also made up his mind.

Ask! They had to ask and get it clear!

If they didn't figure it out, they wouldn't be able to rest easy!

"As for that, you will find out later..."

Zhuge Cuicui gave a rare "ahem," looking a bit embarrassed.

Seeing that Zhuge Cuicui was unwilling to explain, Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao felt helpless, while at the same time, alarm bells rang loudly in their hearts.

Their master, whom they had never met, surely wouldn't have... set them up for a massive fall, would he??

Yet, reality told them.

Their worries were correct...

Zhuge Cuicui was very fast.

In just half a day, she had brought them to the border between the territories of the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path within the Central Region!

"Two Junior Brothers, that Secret Realm is right ahead, less than one hundred thousand meters away from us."

"You two, get ready!"

Zhuge Cuicui suddenly spoke up at this moment, offering a reminder.

Then.

Before Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao could react, not knowing what Zhuge Cuicui wanted them to prepare for or how they should prepare.

Zhuge Cuicui brought them into the area within a fifty-thousand-meter radius of that Secret Realm.

At that very instant, an accident occurred...
